This package includes:
8 × HiLook IPC-T289H-MU/SL 8MP All-in-One Active Deterrence IP Turret Cameras
The IPC-T289H-MU/SL combines high-resolution surveillance, intelligent detection, night imaging, audio and active visual deterrence in one professional IP camera.
Rather than simply recording suspicious activity, the camera can provide immediate audio and visual warnings when configured events are triggered.
8MP / 4K Ultra HD Surveillance
Each camera provides up to:
3840 × 2160 – 8 Megapixel / 4K Ultra HD
8MP surveillance provides approximately four times the pixel count of conventional 1080p Full HD CCTV.
The additional resolution can provide greater recorded detail when reviewing:
- People
- Clothing
- Vehicles
- Entrances
- Driveways
- Property Activity
- Warehouses
- Car Parks
- Loading Areas
- Commercial Activity
- Security Incidents
All-in-One Active Deterrence
The IPC-T289H-MU/SL is designed to provide more than passive CCTV recording.
When a configured security event is triggered, the camera can provide active warnings using:
- Red Flashing Light
- Blue Flashing Light
- Audible Warning
This provides a highly visible security response at the monitored location.
The objective is not only to record an incident but also to make a potential intruder aware that the property is actively monitored.
Red & Blue Flashing Warning Lights
The /SL Active Deterrence version incorporates integrated:
Red & Blue Flashing Warning Lights
These can activate when configured security events occur.
This feature is particularly useful for visible security locations such as:
- Driveways
- Front Entrances
- Shopfronts
- Car Parks
- Warehouse Entrances
- Loading Areas
- Commercial Perimeters
- Restricted Areas
Built-In Audible Warning
The camera also incorporates an integrated speaker that can provide an audible warning.
Combining:
Intelligent Detection + Red/Blue Flashing Lights + Audible Warning
creates a proactive security response rather than relying exclusively on recorded evidence after an incident.
Smart Hybrid Light Technology
The IPC-T289H-MU/SL incorporates Smart Hybrid Light, combining:
- Infrared Light
- White Supplementary Light
This provides flexible night surveillance according to the requirements of the installation.
Three Supplementary Lighting Modes
Smart Hybrid Light provides three lighting approaches:
IR Mode
The camera uses infrared illumination for discreet black-and-white night surveillance.
White Light Mode
White supplementary lighting provides illumination for colour surveillance in darkness.
Smart Mode
The camera can use infrared for general night monitoring and activate white supplementary lighting when a relevant event is detected.
This provides colour information during important security events while reducing unnecessary continuous visible lighting.
Intelligent Human & Vehicle Classification
The camera supports intelligent classification of:
- Humans
- Vehicles
This helps the system focus on security-relevant targets.
Compared with conventional motion detection, intelligent classification can help reduce unnecessary events caused by:
- Trees
- Leaves
- Rain
- Shadows
- Animals
- Changing Lighting
- Environmental Movement
Intelligent Security Events
Supported intelligent events include:
- Motion Detection
- Line Crossing Detection
- Intrusion Detection
These functions provide greater flexibility when monitoring entrances, boundaries and restricted areas.
Built-In Dual Microphones
The IPC-T289H-MU/SL incorporates:
Built-In Arrayed Dual Microphones
Compatible NVR recordings can therefore include:
Video + Audio
without requiring a separate external microphone at each camera location.
Audio recording must be used in accordance with applicable privacy and surveillance requirements.
Built-In Speaker
The camera also incorporates a built-in speaker.
This supports the camera's active deterrence functionality and allows audible warnings to be generated at the monitored location.
120 dB True WDR
The camera supports:
120 dB True Wide Dynamic Range
WDR helps improve image visibility where bright and dark areas occur within the same scene.
This can be particularly useful for:
- Building Entrances
- Doorways
- Driveways
- Shopfronts
- Loading Areas
- Areas Facing Bright Outdoor Light
H.265+ Video Compression
The system supports:
- H.265+
- H.265
- H.264+
- H.264
H.265+ can help reduce HDD storage and network bandwidth requirements compared with older compression formats.
This becomes particularly important when recording multiple 8MP / 4K cameras.
IP67 Weather Protection
The cameras feature:
IP67 Weather Resistance
making them suitable for correctly installed indoor and outdoor CCTV applications.
Typical outdoor applications include:
- Driveways
- Entrances
- Building Perimeters
- Car Parks
- Warehouses
- Loading Areas
- Commercial Properties
- Residential Exteriors
Correct weatherproof installation and cable protection remain important.
