Product SKU: IPC-T561H-MU

Product Overview

The HiLook IPC-T561H-MU is a powerful 6MP fixed turret camera engineered for continuous full-colour video surveillance. Purpose-built without infrared, it uses a built-in warm white light to maintain rich, vibrant visuals—day and night. Ideal for users who need accurate colour detail for people, vehicles, and environments, this model delivers intelligent detection, audio capture, and weatherproof durability in a compact form factor.

Key Capabilities

24/7 Full-Colour Imaging
Equipped with a 1/1.8″ progressive scan CMOS sensor and F1.0 large aperture, this camera captures vibrant colour even in low-light conditions. Its supplemental warm LED activates at night, replacing traditional black-and-white IR with crystal-clear colour footage.

Infrared-Free Recording
By eliminating IR lighting, this camera avoids glare and light reflection issues, producing more natural video that preserves accurate colours for skin tones, vehicles, and environments—especially helpful for identifying subjects.

Human and Vehicle Classification
Built-in AI algorithms distinguish between people and vehicles, reducing false alarms from shadows, animals, or leaves and delivering smarter, more efficient monitoring results.

Dual Built-In Microphones
Two integrated microphones capture ambient sound and voice with clarity, offering added situational awareness for playback and real-time monitoring.

IP67 Outdoor Protection
This camera is IP67-rated against dust and water ingress, ensuring dependable performance in harsh outdoor environments, including rain, snow, and wind.
