Product Overview
Combining active colour deterrence with 8MP 4K resolution and intelligent AcuSense detection, this HiLook 4-camera kit delivers a complete, plug-and-play surveillance system suited to small homes, offices, and shopfronts needing more than passive recording. The kit pairs 4 x IPC-T289H-MU/SL outdoor turret cameras with the NVR-104MH-C-4P 4-channel PoE NVR, allowing a straightforward single-cable installation across eaves, soffits, driveways, and entry points. Each camera features a built-in spotlight, blue and red strobe warning lights, a built-in microphone and speaker for two-way audio, and 30m IR night vision. AcuSense human and vehicle classification reduces unnecessary alerts, while the HiLookVision app allows remote viewing and on-demand activation of audio and strobe warnings from a mobile device. The NVR supports 4K HDMI and VGA output, 40Mbps incoming bandwidth, and a single HDD bay. No hard drive is included, allowing storage capacity to be selected separately.

Key Capabilities
Blue and Red Strobe Deterrence
Each IPC-T289H-MU/SL camera carries built-in blue and red strobe warning lights that activate on detection, providing a highly visible response to motion at driveways, entry points, and perimeter positions without requiring external accessories.
Two-Way Audio with Built-In Mic and Speaker
A confirmed built-in microphone and built-in speaker on each camera support real-time two-way audio. Users can speak directly through the HiLookVision app to anyone within range, making it practical for front-door or gate monitoring at homes and small offices.
AcuSense Human and Vehicle Detection
Integrated AcuSense AI classifies moving targets as human or vehicle, filtering out animals, foliage, and other irrelevant movement. This keeps alert volume manageable and ensures notifications reflect activity that warrants attention.
8MP 4K Resolution Recording
All 4 cameras record at 3840 x 2160 resolution with H.265+ compression, reducing storage consumption while retaining fine detail across driveways, entryways, and outdoor areas covered by the 2.8mm fixed lens.
4-Channel PoE NVR with 4K Output
The NVR-104MH-C-4P delivers power and data over a single Cat5e or Cat6 cable to each camera via its 4 built-in PoE ports. The 4K HDMI and VGA outputs allow connection to a monitor or TV for local live view and playback.
Mobile App Remote Access and Control
The HiLookVision app provides live view, playback, and push notifications from anywhere with an internet connection. Users can also trigger strobe and audio warnings remotely on demand, extending the active deterrence capability beyond automatic detection responses.
Best For
- Residential Driveways and Front Entries: The 2.8mm wide-angle lens and 30m IR range cover standard residential driveway lengths, while the strobe and two-way audio allow homeowners to respond to visitors or unwanted activity directly from a phone.
- Small Office and Shopfront Perimeters: Up to 4 camera positions can be deployed across a small commercial premises using a single compact NVR, with AcuSense detection reducing alert fatigue during business hours.
- Properties Needing Visible Deterrence Without Separate Accessories: The strobe lights and spotlight are built into the camera body, so no external siren or floodlight wiring is required alongside each camera run.
- Plug-and-Play First Installations: The 4-channel PoE NVR auto-discovers the included cameras over a single network cable, making this a practical starting point for users with no prior CCTV experience who want a self-contained, app-connected system.
Why Choose the HiLook IPC-T289H-MU/SL 4-Camera Kit
The IPC-T289H-MU/SL cameras in this kit go beyond standard 8MP turret cameras by integrating blue and red strobe warning lights, a white spotlight, a built-in microphone, and a built-in speaker into a single IP67-rated outdoor housing. A basic turret camera records what happens; these cameras actively respond to it. AcuSense classification means human and vehicle detections trigger responses while irrelevant motion is filtered before it generates a notification. The NVR-104MH-C-4P supports 40Mbps bandwidth across 4 PoE ports, which is sufficient to handle all 4 cameras at 8MP simultaneously. H.265+ compression on both the cameras and NVR reduces the storage footprint for longer retention on a single drive. This kit is available at Security Wholesalers and is supplied without a hard drive, giving buyers the flexibility to select the storage capacity that matches their intended retention period.
Buyer Decision Tips
Storage Sizing: The NVR-104MH-C-4P has a single HDD bay and supports one surveillance-grade hard drive. With 4 x 8MP cameras recording continuously, storage consumption is higher than a 2MP or 4MP system. A 4TB surveillance drive provides approximately 7 to 10 days of continuous recording across all 4 cameras at standard settings; a 6TB or 8TB drive extends this range. If motion-triggered recording is used instead, retention can be extended significantly on the same drive capacity. Add a hard drive to your order before installation to avoid a second freight cost.
Lens and Coverage Planning: All 4 cameras in this kit use a fixed 2.8mm wide-angle lens, which is well suited to coverage distances of 5 to 10 metres in typical residential and small commercial settings. If you need to identify detail at 15 metres or beyond, such as across a wide car park or long driveway, a 4mm or 6mm lens option would provide a narrower but more detailed field of view. The 2.8mm lens should be confirmed as appropriate for your specific camera positions before purchasing this kit.

Ideal Use Cases
Home Driveway and Front Entry
The 2.8mm wide-angle lens and 30m IR cover typical residential entry approaches. The strobe and two-way audio allow a homeowner to communicate with or deter a visitor without opening the door, using the HiLookVision app from inside or offsite.
Small Retail or Office Perimeter
4 camera positions cover a typical shopfront perimeter or small office exterior. AcuSense human and vehicle detection means the system generates targeted alerts during after-hours periods rather than constant notifications from passing traffic or environmental movement.
Rental Property or Airbnb Exterior
The IP67 outdoor housing and PoE cabling make this kit a low-maintenance solution for a managed rental property. Remote mobile access allows the owner to monitor the exterior without being on-site, with push alerts tied to confirmed human or vehicle movement.
Garage, Side Gate, and Backyard Approaches
Multiple access points around a residential or small commercial property can each be covered by a single camera in this kit. The strobe warning light on each unit activates independently upon detection, making each position a self-contained deterrence point.
First-Time CCTV Installation
The 4-channel PoE NVR auto-discovers all 4 HiLook cameras over the local network with no manual IP configuration required. The HiLookVision app guides through initial setup, making this a practical entry-level kit for a self-installed system with professional-grade detection.
Choosing the Right Model
- Choose this kit if: You need up to 4 outdoor camera positions with built-in strobe deterrence, spotlight, and two-way audio at each location, and you want a single PoE NVR that handles power and recording without separate switches or power supplies.
- Choose a different kit if: You need more than 4 camera positions, as this NVR has no expansion beyond its 4 PoE ports and a single HDD bay. If your site requires coverage beyond what 4 cameras can provide, an 8-channel kit with a larger NVR would be the appropriate next step.
- Choose a different kit if: Your primary camera positions require identification detail at distances greater than 10 to 12 metres. The fixed 2.8mm lens on these cameras provides wide-angle coverage rather than long-range identification, which may not suit large car parks, long access roads, or wide commercial yards.
FAQs
- Does this kit include a hard drive?
No. The NVR-104MH-C-4P is supplied without a hard drive. The NVR has one SATA HDD bay that supports a single surveillance-grade hard drive. You will need to add a compatible hard drive to the order to enable local recording. Surveillance-rated drives such as WD Purple or Seagate SkyHawk are recommended for continuous recording applications.
- Do all 4 cameras have the strobe light and speaker built in?
Yes. Every IPC-T289H-MU/SL camera in this kit has built-in blue and red strobe warning lights, a white spotlight, a built-in microphone, and a built-in speaker. All 4 cameras are identical, so each installation point benefits from the same active deterrence and two-way audio capability without requiring additional accessories.
- Can the strobe and audio warnings be triggered manually from a phone?
Yes. Through the HiLookVision app, users can trigger the strobe lights and audio warnings on demand from a mobile device. This is in addition to the automatic activation that occurs when AcuSense detects a human or vehicle within the camera’s field of view.
- How does AcuSense detection work on these cameras?
AcuSense analyses motion events and classifies moving objects as human or vehicle. Events that do not match these categories, such as animals, moving branches, or passing headlight reflections, are filtered out before a notification is sent. This reduces the frequency of alerts that do not relate to human or vehicle activity at the monitored location.
- What cable is required between the NVR and each camera?
Each camera connects to the NVR-104MH-C-4P via a single Cat5e or Cat6 Ethernet cable, which carries both power (via PoE) and video data. No separate power cabling is needed at each camera position. Maximum recommended PoE cable run is 100 metres per camera. Cable is not included in this kit and will need to be ordered separately based on your site layout.
- Can this kit record and display footage at 4K resolution?
Yes. Each IPC-T289H-MU/SL camera captures footage at 8MP (3840 x 2160). The NVR-104MH-C-4P outputs to a monitor via 4K HDMI, allowing 4K live view and playback when connected to a compatible 4K display. H.265+ compression on both the cameras and the NVR reduces the data rate without significant impact on recorded image quality.
- Where can I get support or technical advice for this kit?
This kit is part of the Security Wholesalers range, and technical advice on camera placement, storage sizing, and compatible accessories is available through the Security Wholesalers team. The IPC-T289H-MU/SL datasheet is also available for download via the Additional Information section below for full technical reference.
Cabling Considerations
- Cable Type: Cat5e or Cat6 Ethernet cable for all 4 camera runs. Cat6 is recommended for longer runs or installations in electrically noisy environments such as near high-voltage cabling.
- Maximum Cable Run: 100 metres per camera from the NVR PoE port to the camera. Runs beyond this distance will result in PoE power delivery and data reliability issues.
- PoE Considerations: The NVR-104MH-C-4P has 4 built-in PoE ports, each supplying power directly to a connected camera. No external PoE switch or power injector is required. Cable is not included and must be sourced separately.
- Wiring Tips: Route cables through conduit or protective sleeving for outdoor cable runs exposed to UV or physical contact. Ensure cable entry points into the camera mounting surface are sealed to maintain the IP67 rating of each camera. A single Cat5e or Cat6 cable handles all power and data for each camera, simplifying routing compared to systems requiring separate power cables.
