This guide covers Hikvision camera options with available stock at AUREY when checked on 22 October 2026. Prices below are for individual products and the specified lens variants.

For a straightforward analogue upgrade

Hikvision DS-2CE16D0T-EXIPF 2.8mm analogue bullet camera

The DS-2CE16D0T-EXIPF is a 2MP fixed bullet camera with infrared illumination rated up to 20m and switchable TVI, AHD, CVI and CVBS signals. The 2.8mm option is the stocked lens included in this guide. It needs a compatible recorder, CCTV cabling and a suitable 12V DC supply.

Before replacing an existing camera, send AUREY the DVR model and details of the cabling. Check the video format and recording settings as well as whether the connectors fit.

When colour detail at night matters

Hikvision DS-2CE10DF0T-LFS ColorVu analogue bullet camera

Compare the DS-2CE10DF0T-LFS when you want ColorVu imaging and supplementary lighting in a compact bullet format. Its 2.8mm and 3.6mm options were both available at the time of checking. Use our 2.8mm vs 3.6mm lens guide to compare the viewing angle.

For an indoor shop, reception or passageway, consider the DS-2CE70DF0T-LPFS turret. The DS-2CE12DF0T-LFS is another analogue bullet option, with a stated supplementary-light range up to 40m. Light-range specifications describe illumination support; they are not a promise of face or number-plate identification at that distance.

For a network camera installation

Hikvision DS-2CD2046G2H-IU 4MP IP bullet camera

The DS-2CD2046G2H-IU is a 4MP IP camera with infrared illumination, a built-in microphone and PoE or 12V DC power support. It connects through Ethernet. Plan a compatible network recording arrangement and power source before ordering.

It is not a WiFi or SIM camera, and its Ethernet connection is different from an analogue camera's BNC connection. If using a hybrid recorder, confirm its IP-camera compatibility and limits for your intended configuration.

Check the complete system

  • Recorder: confirm the supported input format, resolution and recording frame rate.
  • Lens: select the actual lens variant you need for the scene.
  • Location: match the specific model to indoor or outdoor exposure.
  • Storage: choose compatible recording storage and the retention period required.
  • Power and cable: plan the whole cable route and power arrangement.

For an analogue system, our 4-, 8- and 16-channel Hikvision DVR comparison helps you plan camera inputs. Send us your property layout or existing recorder model for help choosing components.
