Hikvision HiLook Cameras: Every Type in the Range Explained
HiLook cameras are made by Hikvision. HiLook is Hikvision's value brand, so each camera uses Hikvision's image processing, compression and night-vision technology at a lower price. This guide goes through every type of HiLook camera we stock, says what each one is for, and links to an example.
Starting from scratch? Go IP. One network cable per camera carries power and picture (PoE), and the cameras record to an HiLook NVR.
Replacing an old analogue system? Consider HD-TVI. TVI cameras run over your existing coax cable and record to an HiLook DVR, saving the cost of re-cabling.
Infrared IP cameras: the dependable all-rounder
Infrared (IR) cameras record in black and white at night using light you can't see. They are discreet and need no visible lighting.
IPC-T221H-M: 2MP PoE turret, a low-cost general camera.
ColorVu cameras pair a sensitive sensor with a soft white light, so they record in colour after dark. Colour makes it far easier to describe clothing or a car.
These cameras stay on infrared until they detect a person or vehicle, then switch to colour. You get discreet nights and colour evidence when it counts, without a light shining all night at the neighbours.
Higher resolution means more detail when you zoom into recorded footage, which is useful over a wide drive or car park. Make sure your NVR can record it.
