Hikvision DS-2CE12HFT-F28 5 MP Full-Time Color Bullet Camera
What could you miss when a conventional camera loses important color details after dark?
The Hikvision DS-2CE12HFT-F28 delivers detailed 5 MP video and full-time color imaging, helping you see more of what happened during the day or at night.
Its sensitive F1.0 imaging system, built-in Smart Light, and 130 dB true WDR work together to produce more useful footage across challenging lighting conditions.
With a wide 2.8 mm lens, durable metal construction, and IP67 protection, it provides dependable coverage for residential and commercial properties.
Why Buyers Choose This Model
Buyers choose the DS-2CE12HFT-F28 when ordinary nighttime video may not provide enough visual detail. Instead of settling for a narrow or black-and-white image, this camera delivers wide-area, full-color surveillance supported by intelligent supplemental lighting.

5 MP Resolution — See More Useful Detail
With a resolution of 2560 × 1944, the camera captures detailed footage that makes it easier to review activity and understand what occurred.
Full-Time Color Imaging — Preserve Important Visual Information
Color can provide valuable context when reviewing people, clothing, vehicles, and objects. This camera is designed to maintain a color image around the clock instead of automatically changing to conventional black-and-white nighttime video.
F1.0 Low-Light Performance — Get Better Results in Dark Areas
The camera operates at illumination levels as low as 0.0005 lux with AGC enabled. This helps you obtain a more useful image in locations where limited lighting could otherwise hide important details.
Smart White Light — Add Visibility When Darkness Takes Over
When ambient light is no longer sufficient, the built-in Smart Light can illuminate the scene at distances of up to 40 meters. You receive full-color coverage even in environments with no available light.
130 dB True WDR — Balance Difficult Lighting
Entrances, windows, and other high-contrast areas can make portions of an image appear too dark or overly bright. True WDR helps balance these conditions so more of the scene remains visible.
3D Digital Noise Reduction — Review a Cleaner Image
Built-in 3D DNR reduces visible image noise, helping footage appear cleaner when lighting conditions become challenging.
Wide 2.8 mm Lens — Cover More of the Property
The fixed lens provides a 99.7° horizontal, 72° vertical, and 139.8° diagonal field of view. This broad perspective is well suited to entrances, driveways, yards, storefronts, and other wide monitoring areas.
Four-in-One Video Output — Protect Your System Flexibility
Switchable TVI, AHD, CVI, and CVBS output allows the camera to work with different supported analog video formats. This gives installers greater flexibility when upgrading or expanding a compatible surveillance system.
IP67 Metal Housing — Install with Outdoor Conditions in Mind
The metal housing and IP67 protection rating make the camera suitable for exposed indoor or outdoor locations. It operates from -40°C to 60°C (-40°F to 140°F), helping maintain coverage through demanding temperatures.
Flexible Positioning — Aim Coverage Where It Matters
Its adjustable body supports 360° pan, 180° tilt, and 360° rotation, allowing the installer to position the camera around the area that matters most.
Privacy and Motion Zones — Customize the Monitored Scene
Four programmable privacy masks and four programmable motion-detection areas help adapt the camera’s image settings to the property’s layout and monitoring requirements.

What This Helps You Avoid
Imagine discovering that something happened outside your property, only to find that the nighttime footage is too dark, too narrow, or missing the color details you needed.
That uncertainty can leave you trying to piece together an event from incomplete visual information. Strong backlighting, deep shadows, image noise, and total darkness can make an ordinary camera less useful at precisely the wrong moment.
The DS-2CE12HFT-F28 addresses those problems with full-time color imaging, 5 MP detail, true WDR, a wide viewing angle, and built-in white-light illumination.
Instead of wondering whether your camera will capture a usable image, you gain broader, clearer, and more informative surveillance coverage designed for both daytime and nighttime conditions.
