Who is the IPC-T229HA-LU for?

The lowest-cost way to get colour night vision with audio on a wired system. Full-HD 1080p is ample for a porch, garage or small garden where the subject is within about 15m, and the built-in microphone means you hear as well as see — useful for a front door where a delivery driver or caller speaks to the camera. Colour after dark comes from a large-aperture lens and 30m warm white light. If you need to identify faces or plates further away, step up to the 4MP IPC-T249HA-LU; if you want the option of invisible infrared instead of always-visible light, the IPC-T229HAA-LU ColorVu 3.0 has both (but no microphone).

What you'll need with it

• A PoE NVR such as the NVR-104H-D/4P — one Cat5e/Cat6 cable carries power, video and audio.
• Enable audio on the channel in the NVR menu to record sound.
• The free HiLookVision or Hik-Connect app for live view, playback and alerts.

Frequently asked questions

Is 2MP enough?

For seeing who came to the door and what happened, yes — 1080p remains the most common CCTV resolution. For reading plates or recognising faces at 15m and beyond, 4MP is worth the small extra.

Is the white light always on at night?

It switches on when the scene is too dark for colour and can be dimmed or scheduled in the menu. This model has no infrared LEDs.

Does it work with a Hikvision NVR?

Yes, plug and play. ONVIF is supported for third-party recorders.
