Manufacturer Description
5 MP coaxial audio camera with discreet built-in microphone; 2.8/3.6mm fixed lens; EXIR 2.0 advanced infrared with 40m IR distance; IP67; 4-in-1 (TVI/AHD/CVI/CVBS switchable); Digital WDR.
Who is the THC-T250-MS for?
A 5MP HD-TVI turret with a built-in microphone and 40m EXIR infrared — the coax camera for detail and reach together. More than twice the pixel detail of 1080p means a plate at the end of a drive or a face across a yard is readable, the 40m IR covers that distance at night, and audio comes down the same coax. It is the sensible upgrade for a coax system where the existing 1080p cameras can't quite identify. Night footage is black and white; for colour at the same resolution and range, the THC-T259-MS ColorVu Lite. If 20m and 2MP are enough, the THC-T220-MS costs less.
What you'll need with it
- A 5MP-capable HD-TVI DVR with audio over coax — e.g. DVR-204Q-M1, DVR-208Q-M1, DVR-208U-M1/T. A 1080p-only DVR records 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 my current DVR record it at 5MP?
Only if it supports 5MP on TVI (HiLook Q or U series). Older 1080p DVRs will show it at 1080p.
Does audio record on any DVR?
Only with audio-over-coax support ("/T" or U-series).
Is the night vision in colour?
No — infrared. The T259-MS is the colour equivalent.
