The 18-series 2MP Turbo HD bullet
Where the compact 16-series Turbo HD bullets are sized for under-eaves and architectural mounting, the 18-series bodies are a step up in size and ruggedness. Larger housing, more substantial heatsinking for sustained outdoor service in extreme weather, and longer IR throw than the compact bullets. The Hikvision DS-2CE18D0T-LFS 2.8mm is the standard 2MP version of the 18-series Turbo HD bullet.
The right call for fully exposed mounting positions: pole-mounted perimeter cameras, mast-mounted yard cameras, and any installation where the body is fully exposed to Highveld sun, rain, and wind without architectural shelter.
What this camera is actually good at
- 2MP resolution over coax in the larger 18-series housing.
- Extended IR illumination range beyond the standard 16-series bullets.
- IP67 weather-sealed housing with substantial heatsinking.
- Heavy-duty mechanical construction suited to fully exposed pole and mast mounting.
- Standard Turbo HD output over RG59 coaxial cable.
- Compatible with all Hikvision Turbo HD DVRs.
Where this camera belongs on your property
- Pole-mounted perimeter cameras on smallholdings and estates
- Mast-mounted yard cameras on industrial sites
- Fully exposed boundary wall positions without architectural shelter
- Existing Turbo HD systems being upgraded with rugged-body cameras at perimeter positions
If you want different focal length or feature set
- The DS-2CE18D0T-LFS 6mm is the same camera with a 6mm tighter lens for long-range detection on perimeter walls.
- The DS-2CE16D0T-LFS 2.8mm is the smaller 16-series body for under-eaves residential positions.
- The DS-2CE17D0T-IT5F 3.6mm is the 17-series long-range alternative.
