HiLook Hikvision 8MP Pro Series CCTV Kit – 4x Turret IPC-T383H-MU + 8CH PoE NVR (NVR-108MH-C/8P)

Installers and homeowners needing a ready-to-run 4K surveillance system will find the HiLook IPC-T383H-MU and NVR-108MH-C/8P kit a well-matched pairing of 8MP turret cameras and an 8-channel PoE NVR. Each IPC-T383H-MU camera captures at 3840 x 2160 resolution through a 2.8mm fixed lens with 30m EXIR night vision and 120dB true WDR, making it suited to driveways, shopfronts, car parks, and outdoor perimeter coverage where lighting shifts between harsh sunlight and low-light conditions. Featuring AcuSense human and vehicle classification, the cameras filter motion triggers down to the events that actually matter, reducing unnecessary recordings and notifications. Built with a built-in microphone and IP67 weatherproofing, the turret cameras are equally capable indoors and out. The included NVR-108MH-C/8P provides 8 plug-and-play PoE ports, 80Mbps incoming bandwidth, 4K HDMI output, and mobile viewing. No HDD is included, allowing storage to be selected to match the site recording requirements.

8MP Ultra HD Image Quality

Each HiLook IPC-T383H-MU turret camera records in 8MP Ultra HD (3840 × 2160), delivering exceptional clarity for identifying faces, vehicle number plates, and other important details. The 2.8mm fixed lens provides a wide viewing angle, making it ideal for monitoring driveways, entrances, gardens, retail frontages, and other open areas with fewer cameras.

AcuSense AI Human & Vehicle Detection

Built-in AcuSense technology uses intelligent AI classification to distinguish between people, vehicles, and irrelevant motion such as animals, moving branches, or changing light conditions. This dramatically reduces false alarms while ensuring important events are highlighted for faster review.

8-Channel PoE NVR with Simple Installation

The included HiLook NVR-108MH-C/8P features eight integrated PoE ports, allowing every camera to receive both power and data through a single Cat5e or Cat6 cable. Installation is quicker, cleaner, and requires no separate power supplies or PoE injectors, while leaving four spare channels available for future expansion.

30 Metre EXIR Night Vision

Advanced EXIR infrared technology provides clear black-and-white video in complete darkness up to 30 metres. Unlike conventional IR LEDs, EXIR delivers more even illumination across the entire image, reducing bright hotspots and improving night-time visibility around entrances, fences, car parks, and outdoor pathways.

Integrated Audio Recording

Each IPC-T383H-MU includes a built-in microphone that records ambient sound alongside video footage. Audio provides valuable context during playback, helping capture conversations, alarms, or environmental sounds without requiring additional microphones or cabling.

Efficient H.265+ Video Compression

Support for H.265+ compression significantly reduces bandwidth and storage requirements while maintaining excellent image quality. Combined with the recorder’s 4K HDMI output, users can enjoy smooth live viewing and playback while maximizing available hard drive capacity.

Best For

Homes and Residential Properties: Protect front doors, driveways, side access, garages, and backyards with detailed 8MP surveillance while benefiting from intelligent human and vehicle detection that minimizes unnecessary notifications.

Retail Stores and Small Businesses: Ideal for shopfronts, offices, workshops, cafés, and warehouses where accurate AI detection helps staff focus on genuine events rather than environmental movement.

Outdoor Security Installations: With IP67-rated weatherproof construction, every camera is designed for reliable operation in exposed outdoor environments including rain, dust, heat, and humidity.

Expandable Surveillance Systems: The supplied 8-channel NVR supports up to eight cameras, allowing additional cameras to be added later without replacing the recorder.

Buyer Decision Tips

Select the Right Storage Capacity

This recorder does not include a hard drive. Storage requirements depend on recording mode, image quality, and retention period. A 4TB surveillance-grade drive is suitable for many residential installations, while 6TB or 8TB drives are recommended for longer recording periods or continuous 24/7 recording. WD Purple and Seagate SkyHawk drives are ideal choices for continuous surveillance workloads.

Plan Camera Locations Carefully

Each camera uses a fixed 2.8mm wide-angle lens that provides excellent coverage for entrances, driveways, gardens, and open outdoor spaces. If your installation requires long-distance identification along narrow driveways or corridors, consider supplementing the system with cameras featuring longer focal length or varifocal lenses.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this kit include a hard drive?

No. The NVR includes one SATA drive bay but does not include a hard drive. A surveillance-rated HDD such as WD Purple or Seagate SkyHawk should be purchased separately.

How does AcuSense improve motion detection?

AcuSense uses deep-learning algorithms to distinguish between people, vehicles, and environmental movement. This reduces unnecessary notifications caused by trees, animals, insects, rain, or shadows while ensuring important events are prioritised.

Can I expand this system later?

Yes. The recorder supports eight cameras in total. Since this kit includes four cameras, four additional compatible HiLook or Hikvision IP cameras can be added later.

What cable is required?

Each camera connects using a single Cat5e or Cat6 Ethernet cable. The cable carries both power and network data via PoE, eliminating the need for separate power wiring.

Do the cameras record audio?

Yes. Every IPC-T383H-MU camera includes a built-in microphone, allowing audio to be recorded together with video footage for additional incident context.

Can I view the cameras remotely?

Yes. Once connected to your network, live and recorded footage can be viewed remotely using the HiLook or Hik-Connect mobile application on compatible iOS and Android devices.

Is the 2.8mm lens suitable for most installations?

Yes. The 2.8mm lens provides a wide viewing angle that is well suited to homes, retail stores, offices, warehouses, and general outdoor surveillance. For specialised long-range monitoring, a camera with a longer focal length may provide better subject detail.

Cabling Considerations

Recommended Cable: Cat5e minimum or Cat6 Ethernet cable.

Maximum Cable Distance: Up to 100 metres from the NVR to each camera using standard PoE.

Power: All cameras receive power directly through the recorder’s integrated PoE ports, eliminating external power supplies.

Installation Tips: Use outdoor-rated cable or conduit for exposed installations, seal all cable entry points to maintain the IP67 weather rating, and avoid running network cables alongside high-voltage electrical wiring where possible.
