Who is the IPC-B149HAA-LU for?

The bullet version of HiLook's 4MP ColorVu 3.0 camera. Bullets are the most visible form factor, which is exactly what you want at the entrance to a car park, along a side passage, over a loading bay or on the corner of a commercial building — the camera itself acts as a deterrent, and the integral sunshield helps in exposed positions. Its picture and night-vision performance are identical to the IPC-T249HAA-LU turret; pick the turret if you'd rather the camera blend in under the eaves, or the IPC-D149HAA-LU dome for indoors. The 2MP IPC-B129HAA-LU is the lower-cost option where 1080p is enough.

What you'll need with it

• A recorder or PoE switch — the camera is powered and connected by a single network cable. A HiLook or Hikvision PoE NVR (e.g. NVR-104H-D/4P or NVR-108H-D/8P) is the simplest option; it powers the camera and records to its own hard drive.
• Cat5e or Cat6 cable — up to 100m per run from the NVR or switch.
• The HiLookVision or Hik-Connect app (free, iOS/Android) for live view, playback and alerts on your phone.
• No Wi-Fi and no separate power supply required — this is a wired PoE camera.

Frequently asked questions

Does it really record in colour at night?

Yes. In white-light mode the built-in LEDs illuminate the scene so the image stays in full colour up to 30m. You can also set it to IR-only (black and white, no visible light) or to the smart mode, which stays on IR and switches to white light when an event is detected.

Will it work with my existing Hikvision NVR?

Yes. HiLook is Hikvision's own brand and the cameras use the same protocol, so they plug straight into Hikvision and HiLook NVRs. They also support ONVIF for third-party recorders.

Bullet or turret — which should I choose?

Same sensor, same lens, same night vision. Choose the bullet when you want the camera to be seen and need a longer, more directional view; choose the turret for a neater, less obtrusive install and easier aiming on a soffit or ceiling.

Is it suitable for outdoor use?

Yes — it is weatherproof and designed for permanent external wall or pole mounting.
