Key Capabilities
4K Ultra HD Clarity
Capture incredibly detailed video with a native 3840 × 2160 resolution, ensuring superior clarity for facial recognition, licence plate identification, and forensic review. Perfect for high-traffic areas where detail is paramount.
Hi-Color Full-Time Colour
Utilising an ultra-wide F1.0 aperture and warm white LED light, this camera delivers vivid, true-colour footage even in total darkness. Unlike infrared systems, it maintains full-colour fidelity at night, enhancing situational awareness and detail.
Human and Vehicle Detection
Advanced deep learning algorithms intelligently detect and distinguish people and vehicles, drastically reducing false alerts caused by animals, leaves, or shadows. Ideal for precise monitoring and smart playback filtering.
Dual Microphone Audio
Equipped with two built-in microphones, the camera offers stereo-quality audio capture to complement your footage. Audio adds vital context for incident verification, conflict resolution, and real-time communication.
Durable Outdoor Protection
IP67-rated housing shields the camera from water, dust, and extreme temperatures. Whether installed under an awning or fully exposed to the elements, it delivers stable performance in demanding outdoor conditions.
Advanced Video Compression
Supports H.265+, H.265, and other modern compression codecs to reduce bandwidth and storage requirements by up to 70% without sacrificing image quality. Ideal for large-scale deployments and long-term recording.
Smart Privacy Masking

Choosing Between the 2.8mm and 4mm Lens
The IPC-T581H-MU-BLK is available in two fixed lens options—2.8mm and 4mm—allowing you to tailor the field of view to your application:
Lens | Field of View | Best For | Notes |
---|---|---|---|
2.8mm | Horizontal: 108.8° | Wider coverage | Ideal for general monitoring in open spaces such as front yards, car parks, or store interiors where wide viewing angles are preferred. |
4.0mm | Horizontal: 93.3° | More focused areas | Recommended for focused surveillance points like entrances, gates, narrow laneways, or areas where detail at longer distances is needed. |
Tip:
Choose 2.8mm when monitoring broad zones close to the camera.
Choose 4mm when capturing finer detail over longer distances or for tighter framing.
