Product SKU: KIT-IPCT289-8CAM-8NVR
Product Overview
Combining active colour deterrence with 8MP resolution across 8 camera positions, this HiLook by Hikvision kit is built for larger properties, commercial sites, and warehouses where smart alerting and a visible response to intrusion matter as much as the footage itself. Each IPC-T289H-MU/SL turret camera triggers red and blue strobe lights, a spotlight, and a built-in audio alarm on detection, creating an immediate on-site response without requiring staff or a monitoring centre. Equipped with AcuSense technology, the cameras filter alerts by human and vehicle classification, reducing notification noise across busy outdoor environments. Two-way audio is supported via the built-in microphone and speaker on each camera. The kit includes a HiLook NVR-108MH-C-8P with 8 PoE ports for plug-and-play camera connection, 4K HDMI and VGA output, and up to 80Mbps incoming bandwidth. No HDD is included, allowing storage to be sized to suit the site.
Key Capabilities
Red and Blue Strobe Deterrence
Each camera activates flashing red and blue strobe lights on detection, creating an immediate and visible on-site response that passive cameras cannot provide. This is especially effective at entry points, gates, and yards where deterrence before an incident is the priority.
8MP 4K Resolution Across 8 Cameras
All 8 cameras capture at 3840 x 2160 resolution, giving installers the detail needed to identify individuals, read plates, and cover wide areas without cropping quality. H.265+ compression keeps storage and bandwidth requirements manageable across the full 8-camera deployment.
AcuSense Human and Vehicle Detection
AcuSense classifies motion events by human or vehicle targets, filtering out animals, foliage, and environmental movement. Across an 8-camera outdoor site, this significantly reduces the volume of false event notifications and keeps alarm responses meaningful.
Two-Way Audio on Every Camera
Each IPC-T289H-MU/SL includes a built-in microphone and speaker, enabling live voice communication from the HiLookVision app. Operators can issue verbal warnings or instructions to anyone detected on site without needing a separate intercom or external speaker.
8-Port PoE NVR with 4K Output
The NVR-108MH-C-8P connects all 8 cameras over a single Cat5e or Cat6 cable per camera, carrying both data and power. With 4K HDMI and VGA outputs and up to 80Mbps incoming bandwidth, the recorder supports real-time full-resolution monitoring on a local display.
Spotlight and 30m IR Night Coverage
Each camera supports a spotlight for full-colour illumination on detection, backed by 30m IR for passive night vision when the light is inactive. This dual-mode approach covers both triggered deterrence events and continuous low-light monitoring across driveways, yards, and building perimeters.
Best For
- Warehouses and industrial yards: 8 camera positions with AcuSense detection and red/blue strobe coverage suit large outdoor perimeters where after-hours intrusion is a consistent risk.
- Commercial properties with multiple entry points: The 8CH PoE NVR allows all access points, loading areas, and car parks to be monitored and recorded through a single system.
- Larger residential properties: Acreage homes, rural properties, or multi-building sites needing wide outdoor coverage with active deterrence across driveways, sheds, and fenced boundaries.
- Sites requiring app-based alarm control: The HiLookVision app allows remote viewing, live two-way audio, and custom audio alert management across all 8 cameras from a single interface.
- Installations where HDD sizing is site-specific: The NVR ships without a hard drive, making this kit suitable where the installer or end user needs to match storage capacity to their specific retention requirements.
Why Choose the HiLook IPC-T289H-MU/SL 8-Camera Kit
Most entry-level 8-camera kits record what happens – this one is designed to interrupt it. The IPC-T289H-MU/SL cameras combine 8MP resolution with red and blue strobe lights, a spotlight, a built-in speaker, and a built-in microphone in a single outdoor turret housing. A comparable passive 8MP camera would capture an intruder on video. This system activates visible lights, an audible alarm, and allows a live verbal warning via the HiLookVision app at the moment of detection. AcuSense human and vehicle classification keeps those responses targeted rather than reactive to every passing animal or gust of wind. The NVR-108MH-C-8P handles all 8 cameras over PoE with no separate power injectors required, and 120dB WDR on each camera handles mixed lighting conditions at entry points. This kit is available through Security Wholesalers and represents a complete active deterrence system ready to deploy across commercial, industrial, or large residential sites.

Buyer Decision Tips
Storage Planning: The NVR-108MH-C-8P has a single SATA HDD bay. With 8 cameras recording at 8MP, continuous recording will consume storage faster than a lower-resolution system. For a site needing more than a few days of retention across all 8 cameras, a 6TB or 8TB surveillance-grade hard drive is recommended. If the site only needs motion-triggered recording, a smaller drive may be sufficient – factor in the frequency of AcuSense events at your specific location before selecting drive capacity.
Network Switch Considerations: The NVR-108MH-C-8P provides 8 built-in PoE ports, so no additional PoE switch is needed for this 8-camera system. However, if cameras need to be placed more than 100m from the NVR, a PoE extender or intermediate network switch will be required, as standard PoE over Cat5e or Cat6 is limited to 100m per run. Plan cable routes before installation to confirm each camera falls within this limit.

Ideal Use Cases
Warehouse Perimeters
8 camera positions with IP67 weather rating and 30m IR cover loading docks, roller doors, and yard perimeters. The red and blue strobe activates on human detection, providing a deterrence layer before any physical breach occurs.
Commercial Car Parks
AcuSense vehicle detection triggers alerts when vehicles enter restricted areas after hours. The 8MP resolution ensures number plates and vehicle details are captured at the point of entry, and the spotlight illuminates the scene for colour footage.
Retail and Trade Premises
Shop fronts, rear access areas, and stockroom entries benefit from AcuSense human detection and two-way audio, allowing staff or a remote operator to address loitering or unauthorised access via the HiLookVision app in real time.
Construction Sites
After-hours intrusion on construction sites is a common theft risk. The active strobe and audio alarm on detection creates a visible deterrent across open site areas, and the IP67-rated turret housings handle outdoor exposure across extended project timelines.
Acreage and Rural Properties
Larger residential properties with multiple outbuildings, gates, and driveways suit an 8-camera PoE system. The HiLookVision app delivers mobile alerts with two-way audio, so owners can monitor and respond to detections from anywhere on the property or remotely.
Multi-Tenancy and Strata Buildings
Common entry points, basement car parks, and bin areas across apartment or commercial strata buildings can be covered across 8 zones. The NVR-108MH-C-8P provides centralised local recording and 4K HDMI output for a site monitor or security room display.
Choosing the Right Model
- Choose this kit if: Your site needs 8 outdoor cameras with active deterrence, including strobe lighting, spotlight, two-way audio, and AcuSense detection, all connected through a single 8-port PoE NVR with 4K output and app-based remote management.
- Choose a different model if: Your site requires more than 8 cameras, as the NVR-108MH-C-8P has no expansion capacity beyond its 8 PoE ports. A higher-channel NVR with a compatible camera kit would be needed for larger deployments.
- Choose a different model if: Coverage distances beyond 30m IR are required. A camera with extended IR range or a varifocal lens would better suit long driveways, fence lines, or industrial yards where subjects need to be identified at greater distances.
- Choose a different model if: Indoor-only installations are the primary requirement. The IPC-T289H-MU/SL is an outdoor turret camera and, while it can be installed indoors, the active strobe and audio deterrence features are primarily designed for outdoor perimeter and access point coverage.
FAQs
- Does the red and blue strobe activate automatically, or does it need to be triggered manually?
The strobe activates automatically when AcuSense detects a human or vehicle target, based on the detection rules configured in the NVR or HiLookVision app. Manual triggering via the app is also supported, allowing an operator to activate the strobe remotely when viewing a live feed and identifying a person on site.
- Is a hard drive included with the NVR-108MH-C-8P?
No. The NVR-108MH-C-8P ships without a hard drive. The unit has a single SATA bay supporting one surveillance-grade HDD. For an 8-camera 8MP system recording motion events, a 4TB to 8TB drive is a practical starting point, though actual retention will depend on camera count, motion frequency, and whether continuous or event-based recording is configured.
- Can the cameras issue custom voice messages through the speaker?
Yes. Through the HiLookVision app, users can broadcast custom audio messages from the built-in speaker on each IPC-T289H-MU/SL camera. This allows site-specific messages to be recorded and played back automatically on detection, or issued live via the app during a two-way audio session.
- What cable is needed to connect the cameras to the NVR?
Each camera connects to the NVR-108MH-C-8P using a single Cat5e or Cat6 Ethernet cable, which carries both data and PoE power. Maximum cable run per camera is 100m. No separate power cables or adapters are required within that distance.
- Does AcuSense work at night or in low-light conditions?
Yes. AcuSense detection operates independently of visible light levels. The cameras use 30m IR for passive night vision and a spotlight for active illumination on detection. Human and vehicle classification works across both lighting conditions, meaning alerts remain targeted at night when outdoor movement is most likely to be security-relevant.
- Can this kit be accessed remotely without a static IP address?
Yes. The HiLookVision app supports remote access using Hik-Connect cloud connectivity, which does not require a static IP on the installation network. A standard broadband connection with the NVR configured for remote access is sufficient for live viewing, playback, and alarm notifications from anywhere.
- Is the NVR-108MH-C-8P compatible with other HiLook or Hikvision IP cameras beyond those included in this kit?
The NVR-108MH-C-8P is designed for use with HiLook IP cameras and is generally compatible with Hikvision IP cameras on the same ONVIF-compliant protocol. However, certain smart features such as AcuSense detection and active deterrence controls may only function fully when paired with HiLook cameras confirmed as compatible. Check camera compatibility before mixing brands within the system.
- Where can I get support or more information about this kit?
This kit is available through Security Wholesalers, where the IPC-T289H-MU/SL datasheet and individual component product pages are also listed. Pre-sales questions about camera placement, HDD sizing, or network requirements can be directed to the Security Wholesalers team before purchase.
Cabling Considerations
- Cable Type: Cat5e or Cat6 Ethernet cable for each camera run. Cat6 is recommended for longer runs or installations in electrically noisy environments such as industrial sites.
- Maximum Cable Run: 100m per camera from the NVR-108MH-C-8P PoE port. Runs beyond 100m will require a PoE extender or an intermediate network switch with PoE capability.
- PoE Considerations: The NVR-108MH-C-8P provides 8 built-in PoE ports, eliminating the need for a separate PoE switch for this 8-camera kit. No additional power injectors or power supplies are required for the cameras within the 100m cable run limit.
- Wiring Tips: Plan cable routes to keep each run under 100m measured from the NVR port to the camera mounting point. Where cameras are mounted on external walls or under eaves, use UV-rated conduit or outdoor-rated Cat6 cable to protect runs exposed to sunlight or moisture. Terminate cables in a central location near the NVR to keep the installation tidy and allow for future adjustments.
