HiLook by Hikvision IPC-T561H-MU 6MP Hi-Color Fixed Turret Network Camera BLACK


The HiLook IPC-T561H-MU BLACK is a 6MP full-colour turret camera designed for true 24/7 colour surveillance. Instead of infrared, it uses a built-in warm LED light to illuminate scenes at night, delivering vivid colour images even in total darkness. With no IR LEDs, there’s no black-and-white night mode—just continuous, true-to-life colour around the clock.

Key Features:

  • 6MP high-resolution full-colour imaging

  • 24/7 colour video, even in pitch-black environments

  • No infrared LEDs – warm white LED light used instead

  • Large F1.0 aperture for enhanced low-light performance

  • Built-in dual microphones for audio recording

  • Smart human and vehicle detection with deep learning

  • IP67-rated weatherproof housing

  • H.265+ compression for efficient storage and bandwidth usage

IPC-T561H-MU datasheet

$240.00 inc GST +3 Year Warranty & Support

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 (NOTE THAT BLACK IS ONLY AVAILABLE IN 2.8mm 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.


Technical Specifications

  • Image Sensor: 1/1.8″ Progressive Scan CMOS

  • Resolution: 3200 × 1800 (6MP)

  • Minimum Illumination: 0.0005 Lux @ (F1.0, AGC ON); 0 Lux with supplemental light

  • Lens Options: 2.8mm or 4.0mm fixed lens

  • Shutter Speed: 1 s to 1/100,000 s

  • Audio: Built-in dual microphones

  • Day/Night Mode: Full-colour only (no IR)

  • Ingress Protection: IP67

  • Video Compression: H.265+, H.265, H.264+, H.264


Ideal Use Cases

  • Retail Stores – Capture product and customer detail with colour accuracy.

  • Residential Entrances – Identify visitors, clothing, and vehicle colours even at night.

  • Parking Areas – Full-colour imaging helps capture license plates and vehicle types without distortion.

  • Warehouses and Lobbies – Track movement and identify events with full visual context.


The HiLook IPC-T561H-MU is an excellent choice for users wanting clear, colour-accurate footage at all hours without the pitfalls of infrared. Its smart features, durable build, and flexible lens choices make it suitable for both home and commercial environments
