HiLook Hikvision 8MP 4K 4CH CCTV Kit with 2 Full-Color Audio Cameras IPC-T289
This HiLook 8MP kit pairs two IPC-T289H-MU/SL 4K active colour-deterrence cameras with a 4-channel PoE NVR — proactive security with evidence-grade detail for a home or small business. Each camera records in full colour to about 30 metres at night, classifies people and vehicles with AcuSense, and adds red and blue strobes, a spotlight and two-way audio so you can warn an intruder off live. At 8MP (3840 × 2160) the footage is sharp enough for faces and vehicle detail. The HiLook NVR-104MH-C-4P powers both cameras over single PoE cables and leaves two spare channels. No hard drive is included.

§ 01Overview
What the IPC-T289 is
This HiLook 8MP kit combines proactive deterrence with 4K detail — so you can warn an intruder off and, if they ignore the warning, have evidence-grade footage of who they were.
It brings together two IPC-T289H-MU/SL all-in-one colour-deterrence cameras and the HiLook NVR-104MH-C-4P, a 4-channel recorder with built-in PoE so each camera connects over a single network cable that carries power and data.
It suits a home or small business that wants both deterrence and high-resolution evidence at two key spots.
Note these are the standard T289H all-in-one turrets, not the 180° panoramic T289PH model.
Each IPC-T289H-MU/SL records at 8MP (3840 × 2160), capturing the kind of detail that makes faces and vehicle features usable.
On a detected person or vehicle it can flash red and blue strobe lights, switch on a white spotlight and play an audible warning, and its built-in microphone and speaker give you two-way audio to speak to whoever is there from your phone.
It holds full colour to about 30 metres at night with white light and infrared on hand, and AcuSense human and vehicle classification keeps alerts focused on people and cars.
Both cameras are IP67 for outdoor use.
Two honest notes.
The NVR does not include a hard drive — add a surveillance-grade drive sized to your needs; because 4K fills storage faster than lower resolutions, a 4TB drive is a sensible starting point for two cameras recording continuously.
And the deterrence, two-way audio and one-tap arming features are driven by the included HiLook NVR and the HiLookVision app, so they work as intended here; moving the cameras to a third-party recorder later may limit some linkages.
The 4-channel NVR keeps two spare channels for adding cameras down the track.
It is genuine stock with a local 3-year warranty and support.

§ 04Why choose this
Built for the way you actually use the IPC-T289
Evidence-grade 8MP
High resolution makes faces, clothing and vehicle detail far clearer than a typical kit camera.
Colour at night
Both cameras hold full colour to about 30 m, so detail stays usable after dark.
Room to grow
Two spare channels on the 4-channel NVR leave space to add cameras later.
§ 05Where it fits
Right at home in these scenarios
Home front and back
Cover the two busiest approaches with deterrence and 4K detail at each.
Shopfront and rear access
Warn off after-hours visitors while capturing evidence-quality footage.
Driveways and gates
Identify vehicles and people clearly while actively deterring loiterers.
Small business entries
Proactive security with high-resolution records at two key points.
§ 06Setup
Installation & setup
What's in the box
Two IPC-T289H-MU/SL cameras with mounting accessories and one HiLook NVR-104MH-C-4P recorder with guides. A hard drive, network cables and a monitor are supplied separately.
Installation requirements
Mount the two cameras over your highest-risk approaches, run one network cable from each to the NVR's PoE ports, and fit a surveillance-grade hard drive before recording. Set up the system in the HiLookVision app or on a monitor, configure the deterrence and AI rules, then test both views and the night colour before relying on it.

§ 09Bundles
Recommended packages
Add a hard drive to record
This kit does not include a hard drive, so add a surveillance-grade 2TB drive or 6TB drive sized to your cameras and how long you want to keep footage — a 4TB drive is also available for longer retention.
Want more 8MP cameras?
Step up to the 6-camera 8MP deterrence kit or the 8-camera 8MP deterrence kit for full coverage.
Prefer 6MP value?
For a lower-cost option, compare the 6MP 2× deterrence kit or 6MP mixed kit.
