HiLook Pro IPC-T581H-MU 8MP 4K Hi-Color Turret IP CCTV Security Camera

8MP 4K Ultra HD | 2.8mm Lens | Full-Colour Night Vision | AI Human & Vehicle Detection | PoE | IP67

The HiLook Pro IPC-T581H-MU is a premium 8MP 4K Ultra HD IP turret security camera developed by HiLook, a Hikvision brand.

Featuring advanced Hi-Color technology, a large 1/1.8-inch image sensor and an ultra-wide F1.0 aperture, this camera delivers exceptional colour imaging in low-light environments.

Unlike traditional infrared security cameras that produce black-and-white footage at night, the IPC-T581H-MU uses highly sensitive imaging technology and built-in white-light illumination to provide full-colour surveillance after dark.

With intelligent human and vehicle detection, dual built-in microphones, 130dB WDR and PoE connectivity, this camera is ideal for professional residential and commercial CCTV installations.

Key Features

8MP 4K Ultra HD Resolution

Capture detailed security footage at 3840 × 2160 resolution, providing four times the pixel count of conventional 1080p Full HD cameras.

Hi-Color 24/7 Full-Colour Night Vision

Advanced full-colour imaging technology combines a large 1/1.8-inch CMOS sensor with an F1.0 aperture to deliver detailed colour images in very low light.

30 Metre White-Light Illumination

Built-in visible white-light illumination supports full-colour surveillance at night, with an illumination range of up to 30 metres.

Smart Human and Vehicle Detection

Intelligent motion analysis helps distinguish people and vehicles from other moving objects, reducing unnecessary alerts when correctly configured.

2.8mm Wide-Angle Lens

The fixed 2.8mm lens provides an approximately 108.8° horizontal viewing angle, suitable for entrances, driveways, warehouses and outdoor areas.

Built-in Dual Microphones

Two integrated microphones provide audio recording capabilities when enabled and supported by the recording system.

130dB Wide Dynamic Range

Advanced WDR technology helps capture detail in challenging lighting conditions, such as entrances with bright sunlight and dark shadows.

H.265+ Video Compression

Efficient H.265+ compression reduces storage and network bandwidth requirements compared with older video compression formats.

Power over Ethernet (PoE)

A single Cat5e or Cat6 Ethernet cable can carry both power and data when connected to a compatible PoE NVR or network switch.

IP67 Weatherproof Housing

Designed for reliable indoor and outdoor CCTV installations.

HiLook Hi-Color vs Traditional Infrared Cameras

Traditional infrared CCTV cameras generally switch to black-and-white recording in darkness.

The HiLook IPC-T581H-MU is designed to maintain colour recording in low-light conditions, providing additional visual information such as clothing colours, vehicle colours and other scene details.

The camera uses visible white-light illumination when additional lighting is required.

Important: This model does not have infrared LEDs. Customers requiring invisible infrared illumination should consider an alternative HiLook IR camera.

HiLook and Hikvision NVR Compatibility

The IPC-T581H-MU is designed for use with compatible HiLook and Hikvision IP network video recorders.

It can also be considered for use with third-party ONVIF-compatible NVRs, subject to protocol, firmware and feature compatibility.

For full 8MP recording, ensure the NVR supports the required resolution, frame rate and video compression format.

This is an IP network camera and will not connect directly to analogue BNC DVR systems.

Ideal Applications

  • Residential home security systems

  • Driveways and front entrances

  • Retail shops and commercial premises

  • Warehouses and loading areas

  • Offices and business entrances

  • Professional CCTV system upgrades

  • Replacement or additional cameras for compatible HiLook NVR systems
