Who is the THC-T259-MS Grey for?

A 5MP ColorVu Lite turret with 40m white light and a built-in microphone, in a grey housing — HiLook's most capable coax camera for identification at range. 5MP gives more than twice the detail of 1080p, so a plate at the end of a drive or a face across a car park is readable; the 40m light keeps the image in colour that far out; audio travels over the coax. Grey suits rendered, stone or dark-clad properties and commercial fronts with grey fittings. For a white body at 20m, the THC-B159-MS bullet or THC-T159-MS turret; for 2MP at 40m, the THC-T229-MS.

What you'll need with it

• A 5MP-capable HD-TVI DVR with audio over coax — e.g. DVR-208Q-M1, DVR-208U-M1/T. A 1080p-only DVR would record it at 1080p.
• RG59 coax + 12V power per camera, or pre-made shotgun cable.
• Remote viewing through the DVR in the free HiLookVision or Hik-Connect app.

Frequently asked questions

Will a 1080p DVR record the full 5MP?

No — it will record at 1080p. Use a Q or U-series HiLook DVR for full resolution.

Is the grey model different inside?

No, only the housing colour.

Does it have infrared?

No — ColorVu Lite uses white light for colour at night; there is no IR mode.
