Product Overview
Installers and homeowners needing a ready-to-run 4K surveillance system will find the HiLook IPC-T383H-MU and NVR-108MH-C/8P kit a well-matched pairing of 8MP turret cameras and an 8-channel PoE NVR. Each IPC-T383H-MU camera captures at 3840 x 2160 resolution through a 2.8mm fixed lens with 30m EXIR night vision and 120dB true WDR, making it suited to driveways, shopfronts, car parks, and outdoor perimeter coverage where lighting shifts between harsh sunlight and low-light conditions. Featuring AcuSense human and vehicle classification, the cameras filter motion triggers down to the events that actually matter, reducing unnecessary recordings and notifications. Built with a built-in microphone and IP67 weatherproofing, the turret cameras are equally capable indoors and out. The included NVR-108MH-C/8P provides 8 plug-and-play PoE ports, 80Mbps incoming bandwidth, 4K HDMI output, and mobile viewing. No HDD is included, allowing storage to be selected to match the site recording requirements.
Key Capabilities
8MP 4K Resolution
Each IPC-T383H-MU records at 3840 x 2160, capturing fine detail across wide outdoor areas such as driveways, shopfronts, and car parks. The 2.8mm fixed lens provides a broad field of view suited to covering entry points and open approaches from a single mounting position.
AcuSense Human and Vehicle Detection
AcuSense AI classifies motion events as human or vehicle, filtering out false triggers caused by animals, leaves, or lighting changes. This means recordings and alerts are tied to genuine activity, keeping footage libraries focused and notifications actionable across all 4 cameras.
8-Port PoE NVR with Plug-and-Play Setup
The NVR-108MH-C/8P includes 8 built-in PoE ports that power and connect each camera over a single Cat5e or Cat6 cable run. There is no need for separate power adapters or injectors, which simplifies both the initial installation and ongoing cable management across the site.
30m EXIR Night Vision
Each turret camera uses EXIR infrared illumination to maintain usable monochrome footage at distances up to 30m in complete darkness. This is sufficient for most residential driveways, side gates, and small commercial car parks where artificial lighting is absent or inconsistent.
Built-In Microphone for Audio Context
Each IPC-T383H-MU includes a built-in microphone, capturing audio alongside video footage. This adds verbal context to incidents and can support review processes where understanding the environment around an event matters. Audio is recorded directly to the NVR.
H.265+ Compression with 4K HDMI Output
H.265+ compression on both cameras and NVR reduces the storage and bandwidth required to sustain continuous 8MP recording. The NVR-108MH-C/8P outputs live and recorded footage at up to 4K via HDMI, supporting a high-resolution monitor connection for on-site review.
Best For
- Residential Properties: The 4-camera count and 2.8mm wide-angle fixed lenses cover front and rear entry points, driveways, and side access paths on most home sites without requiring multiple camera positions per zone.
- Small Commercial Sites: Shopfronts, small warehouses, and service areas benefit from 8MP detail and AcuSense filtering, which keeps alert volumes manageable when foot traffic is regular and triggers would otherwise be frequent.
- Installations Requiring Simple Cabling: Sites where running a single Cat cable per camera is preferable over managing separate power circuits will benefit from the 8-port PoE NVR, which handles both data and power across the same run.
- Outdoor Perimeter Monitoring: IP67-rated housings across all 4 cameras make this kit suited to exposed eave, soffit, and wall-mounted positions subject to rain, dust, and humidity without requiring weatherproof enclosures.
Why Choose the HiLook IPC-T383H-MU and NVR-108MH-C/8P Kit
This kit combines 4 cameras that each punch above typical entry-level specifications, pairing 8MP 4K resolution with AcuSense AI detection and a built-in microphone in an IP67-rated turret housing. A basic 4K camera without AI classification records everything but cannot distinguish between a person walking past and a branch moving in the wind. AcuSense changes that by limiting recorded events and push notifications to confirmed human and vehicle activity. The NVR-108MH-C/8P supports 80Mbps incoming bandwidth, meaning all 4 cameras can stream at full 8MP simultaneously without throttling. The 8 PoE ports provide 4 spare ports for future camera additions without switching to a different recorder. This kit is available through Security Wholesalers and is well suited to buyers who want a system that is straightforward to install, expandable, and built around cameras that go beyond basic motion detection from day one.
Package Inclusions
Buyer Decision Tips
Storage Planning: No HDD is included with this kit. With 4 cameras recording at 8MP using H.265+ compression, storage consumption is meaningful, particularly when continuous recording is enabled. A 4TB surveillance-grade drive typically provides several weeks of motion-triggered recording across 4 cameras, while 6TB or 8TB suits sites that require longer retention or continuous 24/7 recording. Select the drive size based on your retention requirement before installation, as retrofitting storage later requires opening the NVR again.
Lens Coverage Planning: All 4 IPC-T383H-MU cameras in this kit use a 2.8mm fixed lens, which provides a wide field of view suited to open areas, entry points, and driveways viewed at relatively close range. If any camera position requires coverage of a longer approach, such as a narrow driveway extending 20m or more, or a corridor viewed from one end, a fixed 2.8mm lens may capture a wide scene but with reduced subject size at distance. Confirm each camera position suits the 2.8mm field of view before committing to this specific kit configuration.

Ideal Use Cases
Home Perimeter Coverage
4 IP67-rated turret cameras cover the front door, rear yard, driveway, and side access of a typical residential property. AcuSense detection filters pet and foliage triggers, keeping alert volumes practical for homeowner review on mobile.
Retail Shopfront and Rear Entry
8MP resolution captures customer and vehicle activity at shopfront entrances and loading areas in enough detail for incident review. AcuSense limits notifications during business hours when constant foot traffic would otherwise trigger frequent alerts.
Small Warehouse or Workshop
Turret cameras mounted on eaves or internal beams monitor vehicle access points, loading dock entries, and internal floor areas. The PoE NVR consolidates all feeds into a single recorder with 4K HDMI output for on-site monitor review.
Multi-Tenancy Residential Buildings
Common area entry points, car parks, and stairwells benefit from the 8MP resolution and 30m IR range. The 8-channel NVR leaves 4 spare ports for stairwell or lift lobby cameras to be added later without replacing the recorder.
Childcare Centres and School Grounds
Wide-angle 2.8mm lenses and 8MP resolution make the IPC-T383H-MU cameras suited to outdoor playground areas, gate entries, and reception approaches where broad scene coverage and subject identification are both required.
Choosing the Right Model
- Choose this kit if: You need a 4-camera 8MP system with AcuSense AI detection, built-in microphone recording, IP67 outdoor protection, and an 8-channel PoE NVR that leaves room for up to 4 additional cameras in future, all connected over a single cable per camera.
- Choose a different kit if: Your site requires cameras with motorised varifocal lenses to cover long narrow approaches or corridors where a fixed 2.8mm lens would frame the subject too small at distance. A kit pairing varifocal turret or bullet cameras with the same 8-channel NVR would better suit that scenario.
- Choose a different kit if: You need more than 4 cameras from day one. This kit includes 4 cameras but the NVR supports 8, meaning additional cameras can be added individually. If 6 or 8 cameras are required immediately, a larger camera-count kit would be a more cost-effective starting point.
FAQs
- Does this kit include a hard drive?
No HDD is included. The NVR-108MH-C/8P has 1 SATA bay that accepts a single surveillance-grade hard drive. You can select a compatible WD Purple or Seagate Skyhawk drive from the options listed on this page and add it to your order. Storage should be chosen based on your required retention period and whether recording will be continuous or motion-triggered.
- How does AcuSense detection work on the IPC-T383H-MU cameras?
AcuSense uses deep learning to classify detected motion as either a human or a vehicle. Events triggered by animals, moving vegetation, headlight flare, or other non-relevant motion are not classified, so they do not generate push notifications or priority recordings on the NVR. This significantly reduces the volume of alerts on sites with regular background movement such as trees, neighbouring traffic, or pets.
- Can I add more cameras to this system later?
Yes. The NVR-108MH-C/8P has 8 PoE ports and this kit connects 4 cameras, leaving 4 ports available for future additions. Any additional cameras must be compatible with the NVR. HiLook and Hikvision IP cameras from the same product generation are generally compatible, but confirm compatibility before purchasing additional cameras for this recorder.
- What cable is needed to connect the cameras to the NVR?
Each camera connects to the NVR via a single Cat5e or Cat6 Ethernet cable. The PoE ports on the NVR supply both data and power over that cable, so no separate power cabling or adapters are required per camera. Standard PoE maximum cable run length of 100m applies per camera connection.
- Can the cameras record audio through the built-in microphone?
Yes. Each IPC-T383H-MU has a built-in microphone that captures audio alongside video. The NVR-108MH-C/8P supports audio recording, so audio captured by the cameras is stored with the corresponding video footage and is available during playback. This is a one-way audio capture capability built into the camera hardware.
- How is the 2.8mm lens suited to outdoor use at a residential property?
A 2.8mm fixed lens provides a wide field of view that covers broad entry zones such as driveways, front facades, and rear yards effectively at short to medium distances. At 8MP, subject detail is retained even when the scene is wide. For sites where a camera must cover a single narrow approach extending beyond 15 to 20 metres, a longer focal length would frame the subject larger, but for most home and small business positions the 2.8mm lens performs well. Security Wholesalers stocks additional IPC-T383H-MU configurations if a different focal length is required for specific positions.
- Can I view the cameras remotely on a phone or tablet?
Yes. The NVR-108MH-C/8P supports mobile viewing, allowing live and recorded footage to be accessed via a smartphone or tablet app. Remote access requires the NVR to be connected to your local network and internet router. The specific app used for remote access is the HiLook or Hik-Connect platform, consistent with the HiLook by Hikvision product ecosystem.
Cabling Considerations
- Cable Type: Cat5e or Cat6 Ethernet cable is recommended for each camera connection. Cat6 is preferable for longer runs or installations in environments with potential for electrical interference.
- Maximum Cable Run: Standard PoE distance applies – maximum 100m per camera from the NVR PoE port to the camera. Runs exceeding this will require a PoE extender or intermediate switch.
- PoE Considerations: The NVR-108MH-C/8P provides built-in PoE across all 8 ports. No external PoE switch or power injector is required for any of the 4 included cameras. Each camera receives both data and power through the single Ethernet cable from the NVR.
- Wiring Tips: Route cables through walls or conduit before mounting cameras, as the turret housing offers limited internal cable management space. Where cables are exposed outdoors, use UV-rated outdoor cable or run inside conduit to protect against weathering and UV degradation over time.
