Summary
The Serage SRDT8FW is built for installers who need sharp 8MP detail on sites that never sleep – retail floors, offices, restaurants – without the hassle of extra cabling or a separate camera for day and night use.

It gives you one SKU that covers colour imaging in low light and infrared coverage after dark, which cuts down the number of variants you need to stock and quote for. The multi-format output (AHD/TVI/CVI/CVBS) means it drops into whatever DVR is already on site, saving you a re-cable or a hard sell on a new recorder.
Audio over coaxial (AoC) lets you pull sound down the same cable run as the video, so you’re not pulling a second core for a till point or reception desk. A metal housing rated to IP66 and -30°C to 55°C means it’s just as at home on an external wall as it is over a shop counter, and for mounting options it pairs with the Serage Base for Small Dome and Bullet or the Serage Wall Mount Bracket for Small Dome, with the Serage Corner Adaptor on hand for awkward corners.
Features
- 8MP resolution with 15fps output – clear detail for identifying faces or till activity, even when cropping footage after the fact
- Multi-format signal (AHD/TVI/CVI/CVBS) – one camera works across legacy and current DVR platforms, so you’re not tied to a single recorder brand
- Audio over coaxial – captures sound down the same coax run as video, no extra audio cable needed
- 20m IR range – covers a typical office or retail unit at night without stacking extra illuminators
- Colour sensitivity to 0.06 lux – keeps usable colour footage in dim ambient light before IR takes over
- ACP (AHD Coax Protocol) control – adjust OSD menus remotely from the DVR, no ladder trip needed to change a setting
- Metal housing, IP66 rated – stands up to external mounting on shopfronts and loading bays
- Low power draw – IR off draws ≤1W, IR on ≤4W, easing load calculations on multi-camera PSU runs
FAQ
Why is my DVR showing a black-and-white image on this camera's channel?
The two likely causes are low light triggering the camera’s automatic day/night switch to black and white with IR (below its 0.06 lux colour threshold), or the DVR channel being set to the wrong video format. The SRDT8FW can output AHD, TVI, CVI or CVBS depending on configuration, so a format mismatch on a mixed system can also cause odd pictures elsewhere – check the DVR’s per-channel format setting first.
What's the maximum cable run for this camera before the image degrades?
Serage rates 300m using 5C-2V coaxial cable; lower-grade RG59 will fall short of this, and pushing past the rated distance typically shows as softening or loss of colour before the signal fails outright. For runs beyond around 100m, use quality low-loss coax (5C-2V or equivalent) with good BNC crimp connectors, and test on site before final termination.
Can I run this camera alongside older standard-definition CVBS cameras on the same DVR?
Yes, the SRDT8FW can output CVBS as well as AHD, TVI or CVI, so it works seamlessly on legacy analogue systems. Just ensure your DVR supports the camera’s format and resolution.
