Detailed Description
The HiLook THC-T257-LMS is a 3K analog turret camera designed for users who want a higher resolution result than standard 1080p or 2MP analog cameras. With a maximum resolution of 2960 × 1665, it provides noticeably more detail while still working within the Turbo HD ecosystem.
One of the standout features is its built-in microphone with audio over coaxial cable. This can simplify installation in compatible systems because audio can be sent back through the coax line instead of requiring a separate audio cable run.
For night performance, the THC-T257-LMS combines infrared illumination up to 40 metres with white light up to 20 metres. It also supports Smart Hybrid Light, which gives more flexible night-time operation depending on the installation requirements and scene conditions.
The camera also offers switchable TVI, AHD, CVI, and CVBS output, which helps with compatibility across many analog recorder platforms. Its IP66-rated weather-resistant metal housing makes it suitable for indoor or outdoor installation.
