HiLook Pro IPC-T289PH-MU/SL 8MP Dual-Lens 180° Panoramic Smart Hybrid Light Turret Camera

Hikvision HiLook Pro IPC-T289PH-MU/SL#AU 8MP 180° Dual-Lens Smart Hybrid Light Turret Network Camera

The HiLook Pro IPC-T289PH-MU/SL#AU is a professional 8MP 4K-class dual-lens panoramic IP security camera combining an ultra-wide 180° field of view, stitched panoramic imaging, Smart Hybrid Light night vision, intelligent motion detection and active deterrence technology.

Developed by HiLook, a Hikvision security camera brand, this advanced panoramic turret camera is designed for professional residential, commercial and industrial CCTV installations requiring wide-area surveillance with fewer cameras.

Unlike conventional fixed turret cameras with narrower viewing angles, the IPC-T289PH-MU/SL combines images from its dual-lens panoramic system into a single ultra-wide surveillance image.

The camera captures video at a maximum resolution of 4256 × 1888 pixels, delivering approximately 8MP of panoramic image detail across a 180° horizontal field of view.

This wide viewing angle makes the camera particularly suitable for monitoring large entrances, car parks, commercial building exteriors, warehouses, loading areas and other open spaces where conventional cameras may require multiple installation positions.

The camera features a 1/2.4-inch progressive scan CMOS imaging system and a fixed 2mm lens configuration with an F1.6 aperture.

With Smart Hybrid Light technology, the IPC-T289PH-MU/SL combines infrared and white-light illumination to provide flexible night-time surveillance.

The camera supports supplemental illumination up to 30 metres, allowing infrared-assisted black-and-white monitoring or white-light-assisted colour imaging depending on the selected operating mode.

For improved security response, the IPC-T289PH-MU/SL includes active red-and-blue flashing strobe lights and an audible alarm, helping warn intruders when supported alarm events are triggered.

Its built-in microphone and speaker provide two-way audio functionality, allowing compatible users to listen and communicate through the camera using supported software and network configurations.

Intelligent motion detection supports human and vehicle target classification, helping distinguish relevant security events from general movement.

The camera also supports line-crossing detection, intrusion detection, video tampering alarms and exception events for more flexible security monitoring.

With 120 dB Wide Dynamic Range, the camera helps maintain image visibility in challenging lighting conditions, including entrances and outdoor areas exposed to strong backlighting.

Advanced H.265+ video compression helps optimise network bandwidth and recording storage when supported by compatible recording equipment.

The built-in microSD memory card slot supports compatible cards up to 512GB, providing an additional local storage option for supported recording configurations.

Its IP67-rated housing provides protection against dust and water ingress when correctly installed, making the camera suitable for demanding outdoor CCTV applications.

The IPC-T289PH-MU/SL supports IEEE 802.3af Power over Ethernet, allowing compatible network equipment to supply power and data through a single Ethernet cable.

Designed for integration with compatible HiLook and Hikvision network video recorders, this panoramic security camera provides a powerful solution for professional security installers, electricians and system integrators throughout Australia.

Important: This is a fixed panoramic camera, not a motorised PTZ camera. Its 180° coverage is created through a dual-lens stitched panoramic image rather than mechanical pan-and-tilt movement.

Three-year Australian camera warranty applies subject to applicable warranty terms.
