The HiLook IPC-T561H-MU is a powerful 6MP fixed turret network camera purpose-built for 24/7 full-colour surveillance. Designed without infrared (IR) LEDs, this model instead utilizes a built-in warm white supplemental light that enables continuous colour recording—even in total darkness. With enhanced image quality and intelligent analytics, this camera is ideal for users who demand vivid, accurate visuals around the clock.
Key Features
-
24/7 Full-Colour Imaging
Featuring a 1/1.8″ progressive scan CMOS sensor and an ultra-wide F1.0 aperture, the camera captures rich colour detail even in extremely low-light scenes. When natural light is insufficient, the built-in warm LED activates to maintain clear, coloured footage without relying on black-and-white IR imaging. -
Infrared-Free Design
Unlike conventional IR cameras, the IPC-T561H-MU is completely free of infrared lighting, eliminating glare and overexposure at night. The result is more natural, detailed, and informative video—especially important for skin tones, clothing, and vehicle colours. -
Human and Vehicle Classification
Integrated deep learning algorithms intelligently detect and differentiate between people and vehicles, significantly reducing false alarms from irrelevant motion events like animals, shadows, or wind-blown foliage. -
Dual Built-In Microphones
High-quality, built-in microphones allow real-time audio monitoring and capture surrounding sounds, supporting better situational awareness and forensic detail. -
IP67 Weather Resistance
With a rugged IP67 housing, the camera is dust-tight and protected against rain, snow, and challenging outdoor environments. -
H.265+ Compression
Efficient video compression minimizes bandwidth and storage use without compromising quality.
Choosing Between the 2.8mm and 4mm Lens
The IPC-T561H-MU is available in two fixed lens options—2.8mm and 4mm—allowing you to tailor the field of view to your application:
Lens | Field of View | Best For | Notes |
---|---|---|---|
2.8mm | ~102° horizontal | Wide coverage areas | Ideal for small to medium spaces like front yards, office interiors, shop floors, or wide driveways where broader visibility is more important than fine detail |
4.0mm | ~85° horizontal | Narrower, more focused areas | Better for longer distances or more focused views, such as corridors, entrances, walkways, or monitoring a specific object or target zone |
Tip:
-
Choose 2.8mm when you need to cover a wider area and are placing the camera close to the activity.
-
Choose 4mm when you need to capture more detail at slightly longer distances or have a narrower monitoring area.
