HiLook Hikvision 8MP 4K AcuSense CCTV Kit – 8x Turret IPC-T381H-MU + 16CH PoE NVR (NVR-216MH-C/16P)
This HiLook 8MP 4K 16-channel kit pairs eight IPC-T381H-MU Dual IR AcuSense turret cameras with a 16-channel PoE NVR — sharp 4K detail across eight positions, on a recorder built to grow. Each 8MP camera records fine detail by day and 30 metre infrared at night in black and white, using dual infrared illuminators for even coverage, with built-in dual microphones for clearer audio and AcuSense human and vehicle detection. The 16-port PoE recorder powers all eight cameras over a single cable each, has two hard-drive bays, and leaves eight channels free.

§ 01Overview
What the IPC-T381H-MU is
This HiLook 8MP kit is an eight-camera, 4K system on a 16-channel recorder — sized for a larger home or a small-to-medium business that wants sharp evidence with room to grow.
Eight IPC-T381H-MU turret cameras run from a HiLook NVR-216MH-C/16P, which has sixteen built-in PoE ports, so every camera connects over a single network cable that carries power and data.
At 8MP (3840 × 2160) the T381H captures the fine detail that makes faces, clothing and number plates usable as evidence.
Its dual infrared illuminators give even 30 metre night coverage, recording in black and white, and 120 dB true WDR balances bright and dark areas in the same frame.
A built-in arrayed dual microphone captures clearer audio than a single-mic camera, and AcuSense classifies people and vehicles so eight channels of alerts stay relevant.
The IP67 metal housings suit outdoor use and H.265+ keeps the 4K streams efficient.
Two honest notes.
The recorder ships without a hard drive, but it has two SATA bays, and 4K across eight cameras fills storage quickly — fit a surveillance-grade drive in each bay, with a 6TB drive a sensible starting point and each bay taking a drive up to 8TB.
And with eight cameras on sixteen channels you keep eight channels spare for later.
The T381H uses infrared at night and records in black and white; for full colour at night look at the T383H Pro or T269 cameras.
The cameras have a built-in microphone that records sound, but no speaker, so there is no two-way talk-back; and they have no red-and-blue strobe or siren.
If you want talk-back and active deterrence, the HiLook T269 and T289 all-in-one camera kits are the ones to look at.
This is genuine HiLook stock with a local 3-year warranty and support.

§ 04Why choose this
Built for the way you actually use the IPC-T381H-MU
Even night coverage
Dual infrared illuminators light the scene more evenly out to 30 metres in black and white.
Built to grow
Eight cameras on a 16-channel recorder leave eight spare channels and two HDD bays for later.
Fewer false alerts
AcuSense human and vehicle classification keeps notifications about people and cars, not animals or weather.
§ 05Where it fits
Right at home in these scenarios
Larger homes
Cover every approach and the perimeter in 4K with channels and storage to spare.
Small-to-medium business
Watch entries, floors, stockrooms and car parks in evidence-quality 4K on one recorder.
Identification-critical sites
Use 4K where reading faces and plates matters, across a wider property.
Staged rollouts
Install eight now and add cameras on the spare channels as the site changes.
§ 06Setup
Installation & setup
What's in the box
Eight IPC-T381H-MU 8MP cameras, one NVR-216MH-C/16P recorder and mounting accessories with guides. Hard drives, network cables and a monitor are supplied separately.
Installation requirements
Mount the eight cameras across the site, run one network cable from each to the NVR's PoE ports, and fit one or two surveillance-grade drives before recording. Set up in the HiLookVision app or on a monitor, enable AcuSense rules, and test each view and the night mode before relying on it.

§ 09Bundles
Recommended packages
Add hard drives to record
This NVR ships without a hard drive, and it has two SATA bays. Add a surveillance-grade 2TB drive or 6TB drive sized to how long you want to keep footage; for eight cameras recording continuously a 6TB drive is a sensible starting point, and each of the two bays takes a drive up to 8TB.
Don't need spare channels
The 8-camera T381H 8CH kit runs the same eight cameras on an 8-channel recorder for less if you won't expand.
Need fewer cameras
Compare the 4-camera T381H kit for a smaller start.
Want colour at night or deterrence
The 8-camera T383H Pro 16CH kit adds Smart Hybrid Light colour, and the 6-camera T289 4K deterrence kit adds strobe and talk-back.
