HiLook IPC-T240H-MU 4MP Fixed Turret IP Security Camera with Built-In Microphone
The HiLook IPC-T240H-MU is a professional 4MP fixed turret network security camera featuring high-resolution imaging, a built-in microphone, 30-metre EXIR 2.0 infrared night vision, 120 dB Wide Dynamic Range (WDR) and advanced H.265+ video compression.
Developed by HiLook, a Hikvision security camera brand, this reliable IP camera is designed for residential, commercial and professional CCTV installations requiring detailed video surveillance and integrated audio capture.
Equipped with a 1/3-inch progressive scan CMOS image sensor, the IPC-T240H-MU captures surveillance footage at resolutions up to 2560 × 1440 pixels (4MP), delivering greater image detail than conventional Full HD security cameras.
The camera is available with 2.8mm and 4mm fixed lens options. The 2.8mm lens provides wider surveillance coverage, while the 4mm lens offers a narrower viewing angle for more focused monitoring.
Its built-in microphone allows compatible network video recorders to capture audio alongside surveillance footage, providing additional context when reviewing recorded security events.
Audio recording must be configured appropriately and comply with applicable Australian privacy and surveillance laws.
With EXIR 2.0 infrared technology, the camera provides black-and-white night surveillance at distances up to 30 metres, helping maintain monitoring coverage in dark environments.
The camera features 120 dB true WDR, improving image visibility in scenes with strong differences between bright and dark areas, including entrances, shopfronts and locations exposed to backlighting.
Advanced H.265+ video compression helps optimise network bandwidth and recording storage when supported by the connected NVR and recording configuration.
The IPC-T240H-MU supports configurable motion detection, video tampering events and compatible network security functions.
Its IP67 weather-resistant housing provides protection against dust and water ingress when correctly installed, making the camera suitable for indoor and outdoor CCTV applications.
The camera supports Power over Ethernet (PoE), allowing compatible network equipment to provide power and data through a single Ethernet cable.
Designed for integration with compatible HiLook and Hikvision network video recorders, the IPC-T240H-MU offers a practical surveillance solution for security installers, electricians and system integrators.
Important: This is a fixed-lens turret camera, not a motorised varifocal or PTZ camera. It includes a microphone but does not provide a built-in speaker for two-way conversation.
Combining 4MP imaging, built-in audio, 30m infrared night vision, 120 dB WDR, H.265+ compression, IP67 weather protection and PoE connectivity, the HiLook IPC-T240H-MU provides reliable surveillance for professional CCTV installations throughout Australia.
Three-year Australian camera warranty applies subject to applicable warranty terms.
