HiLook IPC-T249HAA-LU 4MP ColorVu 3.0 Turret Network Camera - Grey

The HiLook IPC-T249HAA-LU is a 4MP ColorVu 3.0 fixed turret network camera designed for modern IP CCTV installations requiring detailed video, intelligent motion detection, flexible night illumination and integrated audio capture.

This listing is for the grey-colour camera. The IPC-T249HAA-LU combines a 4MP imaging platform with HikAI-ISP image processing, an F1.0 fixed lens, Smart Hybrid Light, 120dB True WDR, Motion Detection 3.0 and a built-in microphone.

The camera supports wired Ethernet networking and can be powered either from 12V DC or through a compatible IEEE 802.3af PoE connection, making it suitable for professional residential and commercial CCTV systems.

4MP Network Video

The IPC-T249HAA-LU is a 4MP network camera.

HiLook's current technical specification identifies the camera's maximum-resolution field as 2560 x 1440 pixels. This provides substantially more image detail than a standard 1080p Full HD camera and makes the model suitable for entrances, driveways, shops, offices, warehouses and other areas where clear surveillance footage is required.

The camera supports multiple video-resolution modes and provides both main-stream and sub-stream video for flexible recording and remote-viewing configurations.

ColorVu 3.0 Technology

The IPC-T249HAA-LU is officially part of the HiLook ColorVu 3.0 generation.

ColorVu 3.0 is designed to provide clearer colour imaging in extremely low-light environments by combining a high-sensitivity imaging system with an F1.0 lens and advanced image processing.

HiLook specifies minimum colour illumination down to 0.0005 Lux at F1.0 with AGC enabled and 0 Lux when supplemental lighting is active.

The actual image produced at night depends on available ambient light, installation position, camera settings, reflective surfaces and the selected supplemental-light mode.

HikAI-ISP Image Processing

The camera incorporates HikAI-ISP technology for advanced image processing and noise reduction.

This technology is intended to improve image clarity, especially in challenging low-light scenes where traditional image processing can introduce excessive noise or loss of detail.

HikAI-ISP forms an important part of the ColorVu 3.0 imaging platform used by this camera.

F1.0 Fixed Lens

The IPC-T249HAA-LU uses a fixed focal lens with an F1.0 aperture.

The large F1.0 aperture allows more light to reach the sensor than a conventional smaller-aperture CCTV lens, helping the camera maintain useful colour information in low-light conditions.

HiLook manufactures this exact camera family with two fixed-lens options:

• 2.8mm fixed lens
• 4mm fixed lens

The lens is not motorised and cannot change focal length after installation. The correct version should therefore be selected according to the required viewing area.

2.8mm and 4mm Lens Options

The 2.8mm version provides the wider view of the two manufacturer options. HiLook's current specification lists an approximate horizontal field of view of 101.5°, vertical field of view of 54.6° and diagonal field of view of 122.1°.

The 4mm version provides a narrower view intended for more concentrated coverage. Its specified field of view is approximately 84.1° horizontally, 45.6° vertically and 99.1° diagonally.

This listing should only show one exact lens as the supplied specification when the lens printed on the physical product or supplier stock record has been confirmed.

Motion Detection 3.0

The IPC-T249HAA-LU supports Motion Detection 3.0 with human and vehicle target classification.

This allows motion alarms to be triggered according to specified target types, helping reduce unwanted notifications caused by irrelevant movement within a surveillance scene.

The camera's event specification also includes video-tampering alarm and system exception events.

Human and Vehicle Detection

Human and vehicle classification is supported as part of Motion Detection 3.0.

This feature allows the camera to distinguish supported human and vehicle targets when configured for motion detection, helping make event filtering more useful than basic pixel-change motion detection alone.

The camera should not be described as having every advanced analytics function found on higher-end AcuSense or DeepinView models. This listing is limited to the intelligent functions confirmed for this exact model.

Smart Hybrid Light

The camera supports Smart Hybrid Light technology using both infrared and white supplemental light.

HiLook specifies three supplemental-light modes, allowing the camera to use its available illumination according to the configured operating requirements.

Smart Hybrid Light provides greater flexibility than an IR-only camera because supported operation can combine conventional infrared night monitoring with visible white illumination when required.

Up to 30m Supplemental Light

Both infrared and white supplemental lighting form part of the camera's night-imaging system.

HiLook specifies a maximum supplemental-light range of up to 30m.

The actual effective distance depends on the scene, installation height, weather, reflective surfaces and surrounding environment. The 30m specification should therefore be understood as the manufacturer's maximum published range rather than a guaranteed recognition distance.

850nm Infrared Illumination

The infrared illumination system operates at a specified wavelength of 850nm.

An IR-cut filter is used for day and night switching to support suitable imaging as lighting conditions change.

120dB True WDR

The IPC-T249HAA-LU supports 120dB Wide Dynamic Range.

WDR helps improve visibility in scenes containing both bright and dark areas, such as entrances where strong daylight appears behind a person or vehicle.

The camera also supports Back Light Compensation, Highlight Compensation and 3D Digital Noise Reduction.

Built-In Microphone

The camera includes one built-in microphone for recording mono audio from the camera location.

This can provide additional context alongside the video recording where audio recording is lawful and appropriate for the installation.

Environment noise filtering is supported.

No Built-In Speaker or Two-Way Talk

The standard IPC-T249HAA-LU does not have a built-in speaker.

It should therefore not be advertised as a two-way-audio camera. The base LU version provides a built-in microphone for audio capture but does not provide the speaker functionality found on other variants in the wider product family.

H.265+ Video Compression

The main video stream supports H.265+, H.265, H.264+ and H.264 compression.

H.265+ can help reduce storage and network-bandwidth requirements when used with compatible recording equipment and appropriate surveillance scenes.

The sub-stream supports H.265, H.264 and MJPEG.

Wired RJ45 Network Connection

The IPC-T249HAA-LU includes one RJ45 10/100M self-adaptive Ethernet connection.

This allows the camera to connect to a compatible PoE NVR, PoE network switch or other wired IP surveillance infrastructure.

No Wi-Fi interface is specified for this model.

ONVIF Support

The camera supports ONVIF Profile S and Profile G together with ISAPI and SDK integration.

ONVIF support can assist integration with compatible third-party recording platforms, although individual recorder and VMS compatibility should always be confirmed before installation.

12V DC or PoE Power

The camera supports two power methods.

• 12V DC ±25%
• IEEE 802.3af PoE, Class 3

The current manufacturer specification lists maximum consumption of approximately 6.2W when using 12V DC and approximately 7.5W when using PoE.

PoE allows compatible network communication and power to be supplied over the Ethernet connection, simplifying installation where a suitable PoE NVR or network switch is available.

IP67 Weather Protection

The IPC-T249HAA-LU carries an IP67 ingress-protection rating.

This makes the camera suitable for correctly installed indoor and outdoor CCTV applications where protection against dust and water ingress is required.

Outdoor installation should still use correct weatherproof cable connections, suitable junction boxes where required and appropriate mounting techniques.

Metal Main Body

HiLook specifies a metal main body with a plastic cover.

The camera measures approximately 112mm in diameter by 82mm high and weighs approximately 350g.

The compact turret format makes it suitable for mounting on walls, soffits, ceilings and compatible CCTV brackets or junction boxes.

Wide Operating Temperature Range

The camera is specified for startup and operation between -30°C and +60°C with humidity of 95% or less, non-condensing.

This operating range supports a wide variety of residential and commercial CCTV installations in the UK when the camera is properly installed.

Privacy Masking

The camera supports up to four programmable rectangular privacy masks.

Privacy masking can be used to obscure parts of the image that should not be recorded, such as neighbouring windows, private property or other areas outside the intended surveillance zone.

Important Storage Information

The wider IPC-T249HAA product-family marketing material refers to optional onboard storage on certain configurations. However, the detailed interface table for the standard IPC-T249HAA-LU specifically lists onboard storage as not available.

For this reason, this listing does not advertise a microSD card slot on the standard IPC-T249HAA-LU. Customers requiring onboard storage should select a model or suffix whose exact specification explicitly confirms the memory-card interface.

Important Variant Information

The manufacturer's product family also contains IPC-T249HAA-LUF/SL and IPC-T249HAA-LUF/SRB variants.

Those are separate variants and their additional functionality should not be applied to the standard IPC-T249HAA-LU.

In particular, this base LU listing does not claim a built-in speaker, flashing warning light or other Live Guard functionality belonging to different suffix variants.
