Infrared Night Vision – Reliable Security After Dark

The HiLook IPC-D281H-MU uses built-in infrared LEDs to provide night surveillance at distances up to 30 metres.

In daylight, the camera captures full-colour images. In darkness, it can switch to infrared-assisted black-and-white recording.

This makes it particularly suitable for locations where visible white-light illumination is not desirable.

Unlike HiLook Hi-Color cameras, this model uses infrared illumination rather than white LEDs for night vision.

HiLook and Hikvision NVR Compatibility

The IPC-D281H-MU is designed for compatible HiLook and Hikvision IP network video recorders.

It may also operate with supported third-party ONVIF NVRs, subject to firmware, protocol and feature compatibility.

For full 8MP recording, ensure your NVR supports 3840 × 2160 resolution and the camera's video compression format.

Important: This is an IP network camera and cannot connect directly to analogue BNC DVR systems.
