🔍 Core Features of HiLook Systems

✅ High-Definition Imaging

HiLook cameras come in resolutions from 2 MP to 8 MP (4K), giving clear video for identifying faces, vehicles, and details.

🌙 Low-Light & Night Surveillance

Depending on model:

• ColorVu / ColorVu Lite gives colour imaging at night using sensitive sensors.

• Smart Hybrid Light switches between IR and white light to capture full colour only during events.

📡 Smart Motion Detection

Many kits include people/vehicle motion detection to reduce false alerts — useful for getting meaningful notifications.

📲 Remote Monitoring

You can view live video, receive alerts, and play back recordings from your phone via the HiLookVision or HiLook app.

📀 Recording & Storage

HiLook systems typically include:

• A PoE NVR — plug-and-play support for cameras

• H.265+ efficient compression to save storage space

• Support for HDDs up to several terabytes for weeks of footage.

🔧 Easy Installation

PoE (Power over Ethernet) means one cable per camera for both power and data — simplifying setup.
