LTS Platinum 2MP HD-TVI Turret Camera with 2.8-12mm Varifocal Lens

LTS Platinum CMHT1623W 2MP HD-TVI Varifocal Turret Camera

The LTS CMHT1623W is a 2MP (1080p) HD-TVI turret camera built for installers who need flexible coverage without stepping up to an IP system. Featuring a manually adjustable 2.8-12mm varifocal lens, a 1/3" CMOS sensor and a compact IP66-rated turret housing, this camera is designed to run alongside an existing LTS Platinum HD-TVI DVR for straightforward, reliable analog-HD surveillance in both indoor and outdoor locations.

Key Features

• 2MP Full HD Resolution: Captures crisp 1920x1080 video for clear identification of people, vehicles and activity.
• 2.8-12mm Varifocal Lens: Manually adjustable focal length lets installers dial in the ideal field of view for wide coverage or long-range detail on site.
• True Day/Night with Smart IR: ICR-based day/night switching combined with matrix IR LEDs delivers usable footage in near-total darkness, with an effective IR range of up to roughly 50m (165ft).
• 120dB True WDR: Balances bright and shadowed areas in the same frame, useful for entrances facing direct sunlight or strong backlighting.
• 3D DNR Noise Reduction: Reduces grain and noise in low-light footage without sacrificing detail, keeping file sizes and storage needs manageable.
• IP66 Weatherproof Turret Housing: Rated for outdoor exposure to dust and rain while remaining discreet enough for indoor ceilings and walls.
• HD-TVI Signal with OSD via UTC: On-screen menu control is handled remotely through a compatible Platinum HD-TVI DVR, simplifying setup without needing to access the camera directly.
• Privacy Masking & Motion Detection: Configurable masked zones and motion zones support basic privacy and event-based monitoring.

Ideal Applications

The CMHT1623W suits retail shopfronts, small offices, warehouses, driveways and residential perimeters where an existing or planned HD-TVI DVR system is already in place. Its varifocal lens makes it a practical choice for installers who need one camera model to cover several different mounting distances and angles across a site, from covering a loading dock to monitoring a reception area, without carrying multiple fixed-lens SKUs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the CMHT1623W work with IP-based NVR systems?
No. This model outputs an HD-TVI analog signal and is designed to be paired with an HD-TVI capable DVR, such as an LTS Platinum series recorder, rather than a network video recorder.

Can I adjust the lens after installation?
Yes. The 2.8-12mm lens is a manual varifocal design, so the field of view and zoom can be adjusted on-site during setup to suit the mounting position.

Is this camera suitable for outdoor use?
Yes. The housing carries an IP66 weatherproof rating, making it suitable for exposed outdoor locations as well as indoor installations.
