§ 01Overview
What the IPC-T381H-MU is
This HiLook 4-camera kit delivers true 4K on a future-proof recorder: four 8MP IPC-T381H-MU AcuSense turrets on the 8-channel NVR-108MH-C/8P.
At 3840 x 2160 each camera captures roughly 44% more pixels than a 6MP model, so faces and number plates are sharper when you zoom into footage, and using the 8-channel NVR leaves four channels spare to grow into.
AcuSense deep-learning AI classifies people and vehicles and filters out animals, foliage and rain so your alerts stay useful.
Each camera sees up to 30 metres at night with dual infrared (black-and-white), records audio through a dual built-in microphone, and uses 120dB true WDR for bright backlight.
H.265+ compression cuts the storage and bandwidth that 4K would otherwise demand.
The 8-channel NVR-108MH-C/8P powers and connects each camera on one PoE cable, with four used and four spare for later.
It outputs 4K over HDMI with independent VGA, supports cameras up to 8MP, and has one SATA bay - because 4K records more data, fit a surveillance-grade drive sized accordingly (the kit ships without one).
The free HiLookVision app gives local and remote viewing, and the IP67 metal cameras suit Australian outdoor conditions.

§ 04Why choose this
Built for the way you actually use the IPC-T381H-MU
Plenty of room to grow
Using an 8-channel NVR for four cameras leaves four spare PoE ports, so you can double the system on one cable each.
4K without storage blow-out
H.265+ compression cuts the storage and bandwidth that 4K would otherwise need, so a sensible drive still records for days.
Smart, weatherproof, simple
AcuSense filters animals and weather, the IP67 cameras handle the elements, and each runs on a single PoE cable.
§ 05Where it fits
Right at home in these scenarios
Homes wanting detail
Cover the front door, driveway, back yard and a side gate in 4K so you can zoom into faces and plates.
Small business
Watch the entry, counter and stockroom where identifying detail matters, with room to add cameras.
Driveways and forecourts
Capture vehicles and plates approaching at night in ultra-high definition.
Growing sites
Start with four 4K cameras and expand to eight on the same recorder as needs grow.
§ 06Setup
Installation & setup
What's in the box
4 x HiLook turret cameras, 1 x HiLook NVR-108MH-C/8P 8CH PoE NVR, mounting screw packs and quick start guides. The NVR has a single SATA bay (surveillance-grade hard drive sold separately).
Cabling and power
Each camera runs on one Cat5e/6 cable to a PoE port on the NVR (up to about 100m), so there are no separate plug packs at the cameras. Mount each unit on a solid wall or eave with a clear view of the area.
Add a hard drive first
Fit a surveillance-grade hard drive into the NVR's SATA bay before recording - the kit ships without a drive. Choose the capacity for how many days of footage you want to keep.
Set up and view
In Australia these kits are commonly installed by a licensed security installer or a competent DIY owner: run a single Cat5e/6 cable from each camera to a PoE port on the recorder, mount the cameras, then run the on-screen wizard. Set a strong password and Australian time zone, then add the system to the free HiLookVision app for live and recorded viewing on your phone.
§ 07Questions

Q.01
What resolution are the cameras?
Q.02
Why does a 4-camera kit come with an 8-channel NVR?
Q.03
Will 4K fill the hard drive quickly?
Q.04
How far do the cameras see at night?
Q.05
Do the cameras record audio?
Q.06
Is a hard drive included?
Q.07

§ 09Bundles
Recommended packages
Step up the storage
4K records more data, so fit a surveillance-grade 6TB, 8TB or 10TB drive (the kit ships without one).
Add a local monitor
Run the Hikvision DS-D5022F2 HDMI monitor at the NVR for an always-on 4K view.
Expand the system
Four PoE ports are spare, so add more IPC-T381H-MU 4K turrets or a IPC-T269-MU/SL deterrence camera at a gate.
Larger options
See the 6-camera 4K kit, 8-camera kit or 16-channel kit as your site grows.
