HiLook IPC-D261H-MU 6MP AI Vandal-Resistant Fixed Dome Network Camera
The HiLook IPC-D261H-MU is a professional 6MP AI vandal-resistant IP dome security camera featuring intelligent human and vehicle detection, a fixed 2.8mm wide-angle lens, built-in microphone, 30-metre infrared night vision and advanced H.265+ video compression.
Developed by HiLook, a Hikvision security camera brand, this high-resolution network camera provides reliable CCTV surveillance for residential properties, commercial premises, offices, retail stores, warehouses and other professional security installations.
Equipped with a 1/2.8-inch progressive scan CMOS image sensor, the IPC-D261H-MU captures detailed video at resolutions up to 3200 × 1800 pixels (6MP), delivering improved image clarity compared with standard Full HD security cameras.
The camera features a fixed 2.8mm lens with a wide 107° horizontal field of view, making it suitable for monitoring entrances, corridors, building exteriors, retail areas and other locations requiring broad surveillance coverage.
Its intelligent deep-learning technology supports human and vehicle classification, helping distinguish relevant security events from general environmental movement and reducing unnecessary motion alerts when correctly configured.
With 120 dB true Wide Dynamic Range (WDR), the camera delivers improved image visibility in challenging lighting conditions, including entrances with bright outdoor backgrounds and darker interior areas.
The built-in infrared illumination provides night vision up to 30 metres, allowing the camera to capture black-and-white surveillance footage in darkness.
A built-in microphone provides audio capture for compatible recording systems, allowing authorised users to review audio alongside recorded video where appropriately configured and legally permitted.
Designed for demanding environments, the IPC-D261H-MU features an IP67 weather-resistant enclosure and IK10 vandal-resistant construction, making it suitable for indoor and outdoor CCTV installations.
The camera supports Power over Ethernet (PoE), allowing compatible network equipment to provide power and data through a single Ethernet cable.
Advanced H.265+ video compression helps optimise bandwidth and storage consumption when supported by the connected recorder and camera configuration.
Combining 6MP resolution, AI human and vehicle detection, 107° wide-angle coverage, 30m infrared night vision, built-in audio, IP67 weather protection and IK10 impact resistance, the HiLook IPC-D261H-MU is a dependable security camera for professional CCTV installations throughout Australia.
Three-year Australian camera warranty applies subject to applicable warranty terms.
