2 × HiLook Hi Color Pro 8MP Cameras

This package includes:

2 × HiLook IPC-T581H-MU 8MP Hi Color Pro IP Turret Cameras

A two-camera system is an excellent starting point for properties where surveillance is primarily required at two key locations.

Typical configurations include:

• Front Entrance + Driveway
• Front Entrance + Rear Yard
• Driveway + Side Access
• Shopfront + Rear Entrance
• Reception + Storage Area

Two additional NVR channels remain available if more cameras are required later.

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 video.

The additional resolution can provide greater recorded image detail when reviewing:

• People
• Clothing
• Vehicles
• Entrances
• Driveways
• Property Activity
• Shopfronts
• Security Incidents

Hi Color Pro Technology

HiLook Hi Color Pro technology is designed to provide enhanced colour imaging in challenging low-light environments.

Traditional infrared CCTV cameras commonly switch to black-and-white footage when ambient lighting becomes too low.

Hi Color technology combines high-sensitivity imaging hardware with an ultra-wide aperture to help retain useful colour information.

Colour surveillance can provide additional evidence such as:

• Clothing Colour
• Vehicle Colour
• Object Colour
• Property Features
• Scene Details

Large 1/1.8" Image Sensor

The IPC-T581H-MU incorporates a large:

1/1.8" CMOS Image Sensor

The large sensor is designed to capture more available light, helping improve image quality in challenging lighting environments.

This is particularly valuable for high-resolution 8MP surveillance where low-light image performance is important.

Ultra-Wide F1.0 Aperture

The Hi Color Pro camera incorporates an ultra-wide:

F1.0 Aperture

The large aperture allows significantly more available light to reach the image sensor.

Combined with the large 1/1.8" sensor, this provides the foundation for Hi Color Pro's enhanced low-light colour performance.

Ultra-Low-Light Colour Imaging

The Hi Color Pro camera is designed for extremely low-light colour surveillance.

This helps maintain useful scene information in lighting conditions where conventional cameras may already have switched to monochrome imaging.

Where available light becomes insufficient, the camera's supplementary lighting can assist with maintaining useful colour footage.

Actual performance depends on installation position, ambient lighting and camera configuration.

24/7 Colour Surveillance

Hi Color Pro is designed to provide 24/7 colour imaging under suitable conditions.

Maintaining colour can provide additional information when investigating recorded security incidents.

For example, footage may help identify:

• Vehicle Colours
• Clothing Colours
• Object Colours
• Property Features
• Other Scene Details

Intelligent Human & Vehicle Classification

The Hi Color Pro camera platform supports intelligent classification of:

• Humans
• Vehicles

This helps focus supported security events on targets that are more likely to be relevant.

Compared with basic motion detection, intelligent target classification can help reduce unnecessary events caused by:

• Trees
• Leaves
• Rain
• Shadows
• Animals
• Changing Lighting
• Other Environmental Movement

Built-In Audio Recording

The Hi Color Pro cameras incorporate built-in audio capability.

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.

Professional 4-Channel PoE NVR

The package includes the:

HiLook NVR-104MH-C/4P 4-Channel PoE Network Video Recorder

The recorder supports:

Up to 4 IP Cameras

This package includes two cameras, leaving:

2 Spare Camera Channels

for future expansion.

Expand from 2 to 4 Cameras

A major advantage of this package is its expansion capability.

Cameras Included

2

NVR Maximum Capacity

4 Cameras

Channels Currently Used

2

Spare Capacity

2 Additional Cameras

This allows compatible third and fourth cameras to be added later without replacing the recorder.

Two Spare PoE Ports

The NVR incorporates four built-in PoE camera interfaces.

Because only two ports are required for the cameras supplied in this kit, another:

2 × PoE Ports

remain available.

This provides a simple upgrade path if additional surveillance areas need to be covered later.

Potential future camera locations could include:

• Side Access
• Rear Yard
• Garage
• Additional Entrance
• Shed
• Internal Area
• Shop Rear Entrance
• Storage Area

4 Built-In PoE Camera Ports

The NVR provides:

4 × RJ45 PoE Camera Interfaces

PoE – Power over Ethernet – allows compatible IP cameras to receive both power and network data through a single compatible Ethernet cable.

A Cat5e or Cat6 cable can carry:

• Camera Power
• Network Data
• Video
• Audio
• Intelligent Event Information

This provides a straightforward professional CCTV installation architecture.

Plug-and-Play Camera Connectivity

Compatible HiLook cameras can connect directly to the NVR's built-in PoE interfaces.

This reduces the requirement for:

• Separate Camera Power Supplies
• Individual PoE Injectors
• Separate Camera Power Cabling

The NVR becomes the central connection and recording point for the CCTV system.

Up to 8MP Camera Input

The NVR supports compatible IP cameras at resolutions up to:

8 Megapixels

making it suitable for the two 8MP Hi Color Pro cameras supplied with this package.

40Mbps Incoming Bandwidth

The NVR provides:

40Mbps Incoming Bandwidth

with up to:

80Mbps Outgoing Bandwidth

Camera stream settings should be configured according to:

• Resolution
• Frame Rate
• Video Bit Rate
• Compression
• Audio
• Number of Cameras
• Recording Requirements

H.265+ Video Compression

The system supports efficient compression including:

• H.265+
• H.265
• H.264+
• H.264

H.265+ can help reduce HDD storage and network bandwidth requirements compared with older compression formats, depending on scene activity and camera configuration.

This is particularly useful when recording high-resolution 8MP video.

4K HDMI Output

The NVR provides HDMI output supporting:

4K Ultra HD

allowing connection to a compatible high-resolution monitor or television for local surveillance.

VGA output is also provided for compatible displays.

Synchronous Playback

The recorder supports simultaneous playback of multiple camera channels.

This makes it possible to review footage from different areas of the property during the same incident.

Selectable Surveillance HDD

The NVR supports internal surveillance HDD storage.

HDD: Select storage capacity from available options

Storage requirements depend on:

• Number of Cameras
• Recording Resolution
• Frame Rate
• Video Bit Rate
• H.265+ Configuration
• Continuous or Event Recording
• Required Recording Retention

If additional cameras are added later, their storage requirements should also be considered.

Remote Viewing

When connected to the internet and correctly configured, the system supports compatible HiLook remote-access functionality.

Remote features can include:

• Live Camera Viewing
• Recorded Playback
• Event Notifications
• Multi-Camera Viewing
• Remote CCTV Monitoring

This provides convenient access to the CCTV system from compatible mobile devices while away from the property.

Flexible Recording Options

The system can be configured according to the property's security requirements.

Recording options can include:

• Continuous Recording
• Scheduled Recording
• Motion Recording
• Event Recording
• Intelligent Event Recording

Recording configuration directly affects available HDD retention time.

IP67 Weather Resistance

The Hi Color Pro turret cameras feature:

IP67 Weather Protection

making them suitable for correctly installed indoor and outdoor CCTV applications.

Correct cable protection and weatherproof installation remain important when cameras are installed outdoors.

Ideal 2-Camera Residential Configuration

A two-camera system can provide focused surveillance of the most important areas of many homes and townhouses.

A typical configuration could include:

Camera 1 – Front Entrance / Front Yard

Camera 2 – Driveway / Garage

The two remaining channels could later be used for:

Camera 3 – Side Access

Camera 4 – Rear Yard

This allows customers to start with essential coverage and expand the system as required.

Ideal for Small Commercial CCTV

The kit is also suitable for small commercial premises requiring surveillance at two primary locations.

Typical applications include:

• Small Retail Stores
• Offices
• Workshops
• Cafes
• Small Warehouses
• Shopfronts
• Reception Areas
• Storage Facilities
• Small Commercial Properties
