Product Overview
Built for homes and small offices that need a complete plug-and-play IP system, this HiLook 4 camera AcuSense dome kit pairs 4 x IPC-D261H-MU fixed dome cameras with the HiLook NVR-104MH-C-4P, a 4-channel PoE NVR that powers each camera over a single network cable with no separate power supplies required. Each IPC-D261H-MU camera records at 6MP (3072 x 2048) with a 2.8mm wide-angle lens, 30m IR night vision, and 120dB True WDR for scenes that mix bright and shadowed areas. Equipped with AcuSense deep learning, the cameras classify motion as human or vehicle, cutting down on alerts triggered by irrelevant sources. Built-in microphones on every camera capture on-site audio alongside the video feed. With IP67 weatherproofing and IK10 impact resistance, the IPC-D261H-MU suits both indoor ceiling positions and exposed outdoor eave or soffit locations, making this kit a versatile 4-point coverage solution out of the box.
Key Capabilities
4-Channel PoE Simplicity
The NVR-104MH-C-4P has 4 built-in PoE ports, so each IPC-D261H-MU camera connects to the NVR via a single Cat5e or Cat6 cable carrying both power and video. No separate power adapters, no additional switches needed for a standard 4-camera setup.
AcuSense Human and Vehicle Detection
Deep learning on each camera classifies motion specifically as human or vehicle, reducing false event notifications from animals, foliage, or lighting changes. This keeps alert logs focused on activity that actually warrants a review.
6MP Wide-Angle Coverage
At 3072 x 2048 resolution with a 2.8mm lens, each camera covers a wide field of view across entrances, driveways, and open areas, while the 6MP image retains enough detail to identify individuals within the 13m recognition distance confirmed by DORI data.
IP67 and IK10 Rated Cameras
Every IPC-D261H-MU in this kit carries IP67 dust and water ingress protection along with IK10 impact resistance. This means the cameras can be installed outdoors under eaves or in semi-exposed positions without concern about weather or minor physical interference.
H.265+ Compression and Storage Efficiency
Both the cameras and the NVR support H.265+ encoding, which reduces file sizes significantly compared to older H.264 systems. This allows the single HDD bay in the NVR-104MH-C-4P to store more continuous or event-triggered footage before overwriting begins.
Best For
- Residential Installations: The 2.8mm wide-angle lens and dome form factor suit ceiling and eave mounting at typical residential entry points such as front doors, garage approaches, and back-yard access gates.
- Small Office and Retail Fit-Outs: Four channels covers the key zones of a small commercial tenancy, and the AcuSense detection keeps after-hours alerts focused on genuine human activity rather than background movement.
- Self-Managed Monitoring: Remote viewing via the HiLookVision mobile app and 4K HDMI output from the NVR suit end-users who want to review footage on a TV or monitor on-site as well as checking in remotely from a phone.
- Installer-Supplied Residential Jobs: The single-cable PoE setup reduces installation time on domestic jobs where running separate power is impractical, and the plug-and-play NVR auto-detects the HiLook cameras on the local network.
Why Choose the HiLook IPC-D261H-MU Kit
Where basic IP kits at this price point often compromise on image resolution or detection capability, the IPC-D261H-MU kit includes AcuSense-classified alerts across all 4 cameras, not just at the NVR level, which means smarter notifications are generated at the camera itself before the footage even reaches the recorder. The 6MP sensor delivers noticeably more image detail than a standard 4MP or 2MP system, and the 120dB True WDR handles mixed-lighting scenes at front entries that catch both indoor light and direct sunlight in the same frame. The NVR-104MH-C-4P supports 4K HDMI output for clear on-screen review and includes a dedicated HDD bay ready for a surveillance-rated drive. The IK10-rated dome housing adds a level of physical durability that unhoused or bullet-style cameras at the same price often lack. Available at Security Wholesalers, this kit is a well-specified starting point for 4-zone residential or small commercial coverage.
Package Inclusions
- 4 x HiLook IPC-D261H-MU – 6MP AcuSense Fixed Dome Camera (2.8mm Lens, 30m IR, Built-In Mic, IP67, IK10)
- 1 x HiLook NVR-104MH-C-4P – 4CH PoE NVR (4 PoE Ports, 4K HDMI Output, 1 HDD Bay, No HDD Included)
- No HDD is included. A compatible surveillance-rated hard drive is required for local recording and can be added separately.
Buyer Decision Tips
Storage Planning: The NVR-104MH-C-4P has a single HDD bay and supports surveillance-rated drives. At 6MP resolution with H.265+ compression across 4 cameras recording continuously, a 4TB drive will typically provide several weeks of footage depending on scene activity levels. If you need a longer retention window before footage loops, consider a 6TB or 8TB surveillance drive at the time of purchase rather than upgrading later.
Lens Coverage vs. Distance: The 2.8mm fixed lens on each IPC-D261H-MU gives a wide field of view suited to close-range entry points, corridors, and open indoor spaces. The DORI recognition distance at 2.8mm is confirmed at 13m. If you need to identify faces or read text beyond that distance, the 2.8mm lens will not achieve that at this range and a narrower lens option would be more appropriate for those positions.

Ideal Use Cases
Residential Perimeter Coverage
4 cameras covers the key entry and exit points of a single dwelling including front door, garage, rear access, and side gate. IP67 and IK10 rating on each IPC-D261H-MU means outdoor positions under eaves or on exposed walls are appropriate.
Small Retail or Office Premises
AcuSense detection on each camera keeps after-hours alert activity focused on human movement rather than environmental triggers, useful in shop-front or office scenarios where foot traffic outside the window would otherwise generate constant notifications.
Indoor Ceiling Monitoring
The dome form factor of the IPC-D261H-MU mounts flat against a ceiling surface and covers a wide area with the 2.8mm lens, making it suited to reception areas, corridor intersections, small showrooms, and childcare or classroom spaces.
DIY and Installer Residential Jobs
The plug-and-play PoE design of the NVR-104MH-C-4P auto-discovers the IPC-D261H-MU cameras once connected, reducing configuration time. A single Cat5e or Cat6 cable run per camera makes this a practical choice for ceiling-concealed domestic installations.
Remote Property Monitoring
With the HiLookVision app connected to the NVR-104MH-C-4P over the internet, owners of holiday homes, rental properties, or small business sites can review live and recorded footage from their phone without needing on-site access to the recorder.
Choosing the Right Model
- Choose this kit if: You need a complete 4-camera IP system with AcuSense smart detection, PoE simplicity, 6MP resolution, and IK10-rated dome cameras suitable for both indoor ceiling and outdoor eave positions, and you are comfortable adding a separate surveillance HDD to complete the storage setup.
- Choose a different kit if: You need more than 4 camera positions from a single recorder, as the NVR-104MH-C-4P is a 4-channel unit with no expansion beyond its 4 PoE ports. If long-range directional coverage is the primary requirement, a bullet-style camera with a narrower lens would cover greater distances than the 2.8mm dome at 13m recognition range.
- Consider adding a HDD at purchase: No hard drive is included with the NVR-104MH-C-4P. Without a HDD installed, the system will not record locally. A surveillance-rated drive sized to your retention requirement should be added at the same time as the kit.
FAQs
- Does this kit include a hard drive?
No. The HiLook NVR-104MH-C-4P has a single HDD bay but no drive is included in this kit. You will need to add a compatible surveillance-rated hard drive (such as WD Purple or Seagate Skyhawk) to enable local recording. The NVR will still allow live viewing and remote access without a HDD, but no footage will be stored locally until a drive is installed. - What does AcuSense actually do in this kit?
AcuSense uses deep learning built into each IPC-D261H-MU camera to classify motion events as either human or vehicle before an alert is sent. This means the NVR and the HiLookVision app receive notifications only when a person or vehicle triggers the camera, rather than every time a cat, shadow, or wind-blown branch crosses the frame. - How far can I run the cable between each camera and the NVR?
The NVR-104MH-C-4P delivers PoE power to each IPC-D261H-MU camera over a standard Cat5e or Cat6 Ethernet cable. The maximum recommended cable run for PoE is 100m per camera. Runs beyond this distance may result in reduced PoE power delivery and should be avoided without a PoE extender. - Can I mount the IPC-D261H-MU cameras outdoors?
Yes. Each camera in this kit is IP67 rated for dust and water ingress, which is suitable for exposed outdoor positions including eaves, soffits, and exterior walls. The IK10 rating also means the dome housing can withstand a measured impact force without the lens or internals being damaged, making it appropriate for areas with foot traffic or where tampering is a concern. - What resolution does the NVR display on a monitor or TV?
The NVR-104MH-C-4P outputs up to 4K resolution via its HDMI port, as well as through a VGA port for older monitors. This allows the live 4-channel view and recorded playback to be displayed at a high quality on a compatible screen connected directly to the recorder. - Do the cameras record audio as well as video?
Each IPC-D261H-MU includes a built-in microphone that captures audio at the camera location, which is recorded alongside the video stream by the NVR-104MH-C-4P. This provides an audio context layer for recorded events. Note that audio recording laws vary by state in Australia, and you should ensure your installation complies with applicable recording consent requirements. - Is this kit sold and supported in Australia?
Yes. This HiLook AcuSense dome kit is part of the Security Wholesalers range and is stocked and supported locally in Australia. HiLook is the value-tier brand from Hikvision, and the IPC-D261H-MU cameras and NVR-104MH-C-4P are supplied with Australian warranty coverage.
