Product Overview
Combining active deterrence with AI-based detection, the HiLook HL-1268C kit delivers a complete 6MP IP surveillance system for homes and small commercial properties. The bundle pairs 1 x IPC-T269-MU/SL strobe turret camera with blue and red flashing lights and a built-in microphone alongside 3 x IPC-T361H-MU AcuSense turret cameras capable of classifying humans and vehicles using deep learning. All 4 cameras connect via PoE directly into the included NVR-108MH-C-8P, an 8-channel recorder with 8 built-in PoE ports, 4K HDMI output, and support for H.265+ compression. Each camera carries an IP67 weather and dust resistance rating, making the kit suitable for outdoor eave, soffit, or wall mounting across driveways, entry points, garages, and rear yards. No hard drive is included and must be added separately before recording can begin.
Key Capabilities
Strobe Deterrence Built In
The IPC-T269-MU/SL camera includes blue and red flashing strobes, making it a visible active deterrent at entry points. Unlike passive cameras, it signals to anyone approaching that the area is actively monitored, which can discourage lingering at gates, driveways, and front entrances.
AcuSense Human and Vehicle Classification
The 3 x IPC-T361H-MU cameras use deep learning to classify detections as human or vehicle, reducing unwanted alerts triggered by animals, foliage, or lighting changes. This makes event filtering much more manageable when reviewing footage or setting up motion alerts remotely.
6MP Resolution Across All 4 Cameras
Every camera in this kit records at 6 megapixels, delivering sharper detail than standard 4MP or 1080p systems. At this resolution, number plates, faces, and identifying features captured at typical residential distances are more legible when footage needs to be reviewed.
8-Port PoE NVR with Plug and Play Setup
The NVR-108MH-C-8P has 8 built-in PoE ports, meaning a single Cat5e or Cat6 cable run to each camera delivers both power and video with no separate power adapters required. The 4-camera kit leaves 4 ports free for future expansion up to 8 cameras total.
IP67 Weather and Dust Resistance
All 4 cameras are rated IP67, meaning they are fully sealed against dust ingress and protected against water immersion up to 1 metre. This makes them suitable for exposed outdoor positions including under eaves, on external walls, and in unshaded driveway locations.
H.265+ Compression for Storage Efficiency
The NVR and all cameras support H.265+ compression, which significantly reduces file sizes compared to H.264 at equivalent quality settings. This extends how many days of footage can be stored on a given hard drive capacity, making a smaller HDD go further in practice.
Best For
- Residential Properties with a High-Traffic Entry: The strobe camera is well suited to front driveways or gates where a visible active deterrent is wanted, while the 3 AI turrets cover side access, rear yard, and garage areas with human and vehicle alerts.
- Small Business or Shopfront Installs: 4 x 6MP cameras across a single 8-channel PoE recorder suits retail, warehouse entrances, or small office campuses where a simple single-recorder setup with room to add more cameras is preferred.
- Installers Looking for a Complete Camera-Plus-NVR Bundle: All cameras and the NVR are matched and shipped together, reducing component sourcing time on smaller residential or light commercial jobs.
- Sites That May Expand Later: With 4 PoE ports remaining on the 8-channel NVR after the initial 4-camera install, additional cameras can be added to the existing recorder without replacing hardware.
Why Choose the HiLook HL-1268C Kit
What separates this kit from a standard 4-camera 6MP bundle is the inclusion of the IPC-T269-MU/SL strobe camera. Where a conventional turret camera simply records, the strobe unit adds a flashing blue and red light response at the point of detection, making it a functional deterrent rather than a passive recorder. The 3 x IPC-T361H-MU cameras add AcuSense classification, which targets human and vehicle detections specifically, keeping alert volumes manageable rather than generating noise from every passing cat or blowing branch. The NVR-108MH-C-8P handles up to 8 PoE cameras, outputs at 4K via HDMI for a clear local display, and records in H.265+ to stretch hard drive storage. This kit is available at Security Wholesalers and represents a well-matched system where every component is designed to work together from day one.
Package Inclusions
- 1 x HiLook 6MP IPC-T269-MU/SL All-in-One Turret Camera with Blue/Red Strobe and Built-in Microphone
- 3 x HiLook 6MP IPC-T361H-MU AcuSense Turret IP Camera with Built-in Microphone
- 1 x HiLook NVR-108MH-C-8P 8-Channel 8x PoE 4K HDMI 1x SATA Network Video Recorder
- Note: No hard drive is included. A compatible surveillance HDD must be purchased separately before recording can begin.
Buyer Decision Tips
Hard Drive Sizing: The NVR-108MH-C-8P includes 1 SATA bay and no drive. At 6MP with H.265+ compression recording continuously across 4 cameras, a 4TB surveillance drive typically provides around 10 to 14 days of storage depending on motion activity and quality settings. A 6TB or 8TB drive extends this significantly if longer retention is a requirement before footage overwrites. Choose a WD Purple or Seagate Skyhawk-rated drive for compatibility with this class of NVR.
Channel Headroom and Placement Planning: The NVR-108MH-C-8P supports up to 8 cameras via PoE. With only 4 cameras in this kit, there is room to connect 4 additional cameras later without replacing the recorder. Before cabling, plan camera positions to account for this future capacity and run cable to locations you may want to cover later, even if cameras are not connected immediately. Wall mount brackets are sold separately and are recommended for eave and soffit mounting positions.

Ideal Use Cases
Front Driveway with Active Deterrence
Positioning the IPC-T269-MU/SL strobe camera at the driveway entrance means the flashing blue and red lights activate when a person or vehicle approaches, making the camera’s presence unmistakable. The remaining AI turrets can then cover side gates or internal areas.
Residential Perimeter Coverage
4 cameras across a single PoE NVR can cover front, rear, and both side access points of a standard house block. The IP67 rating on all cameras means they can be mounted under exposed eaves or on external walls without weather protection concerns.
Small Retail or Office Entry Monitoring
AcuSense on the 3 x IPC-T361H-MU cameras limits false motion alerts in busy retail or commercial environments where passing traffic or environmental movement would otherwise generate excessive notifications. Alerts are filtered to confirmed human or vehicle events only.
Carpark or Loading Bay Oversight
The 6MP resolution and 120dB WDR on each camera make these turrets suited to outdoor carpark and loading dock positions where bright headlights or sunlight glare would wash out lower-spec cameras, while still capturing usable vehicle detail in mixed lighting.
Expandable First-Stage Install
With 4 PoE ports spare on the NVR-108MH-C-8P after connecting the kit cameras, this system suits staged installs where a client wants to start with 4 cameras and add coverage to additional zones later without purchasing a new recorder.
Choosing the Right Model
- Choose this kit if: You want a matched 6MP camera and NVR system that includes both an active strobe deterrence camera and AI-classification turrets across a single 8-channel PoE recorder, with headroom to add cameras later.
- Choose a different configuration if: You need more than 8 cameras total, require a recorder with multiple SATA bays for larger storage capacity, or are looking for cameras with full-colour night vision rather than infrared-based IR illumination at night.
FAQs
- Does this kit include a hard drive?
No. The NVR-108MH-C-8P has 1 SATA bay but no hard drive is supplied with this kit. You will need to purchase a compatible surveillance-grade hard drive separately before the system can record. Options such as WD Purple or Seagate Skyhawk drives in 2TB, 4TB, 6TB, or 8TB capacities are available as add-ons.
- What does the strobe camera actually do when it detects motion?
The IPC-T269-MU/SL camera activates blue and red flashing strobes when a detection event occurs. This is an active deterrence feature designed to draw attention to the camera and signal to anyone in the area that they have been detected. It is distinct from a standard turret camera that only records passively.
- Can I add more cameras to this system later?
Yes. The NVR-108MH-C-8P supports up to 8 PoE cameras. This kit connects 4, leaving 4 ports available for additional cameras. Any added cameras would need to be compatible with the NVR and within the recorder’s overall bandwidth limits.
- What is AcuSense and how does it affect the AI turret cameras in this kit?
AcuSense is HiLook’s deep learning detection technology applied to the 3 x IPC-T361H-MU cameras in this kit. It classifies motion events as either human or vehicle rather than treating all motion equally. This means alerts and recordings can be filtered to only the events that matter, reducing the volume of irrelevant notifications from pets, insects near the lens, or wind-blown foliage.
- Are the cameras suitable for outdoor installation in Australian weather conditions?
All 4 cameras in this kit carry an IP67 ingress protection rating, meaning they are fully sealed against dust and protected against water immersion to 1 metre. This rating is appropriate for exposed outdoor positions including eaves, external walls, and driveway-facing mounts in typical Australian residential and commercial environments.
- Do I need separate power adapters for each camera?
No. All cameras are powered via PoE directly through the NVR-108MH-C-8P’s 8 built-in PoE ports. A single Cat5e or Cat6 cable run from the NVR to each camera carries both power and video data, which simplifies installation and removes the need for separate power points or adapters at each camera location.
- Where can I get support or advice for configuring this kit?
This kit is part of the Security Wholesalers range and the team can assist with configuration questions, hard drive sizing, and compatible accessory selection. Datasheets for both camera models and the NVR are linked in the Additional Information section below for reference during planning and installation.

Additional Information
Cabling Considerations
- Cable Type: Cat5e or Cat6 ethernet cable is recommended for all camera runs. Cat6 is preferred for longer runs or where future-proofing is a priority.
- Maximum PoE Cable Run: Standard PoE distance is 100 metres per cable run from the NVR PoE port to the camera. Runs beyond this will result in power and signal degradation.
- NVR Placement: The NVR-108MH-C-8P should be located centrally relative to camera positions to keep cable runs within the 100-metre PoE limit. A secure indoor location such as a comms cabinet, storeroom, or lockable cupboard is recommended to protect the recorder.
- Wiring Tips: Run cable to all planned camera positions during initial installation, including positions for future cameras, even if those ports are unused at first. This avoids the need for additional cable work when expanding the system later.
