HiLook Hikvision 8MP Pro Series CCTV Kit – 8x Turret IPC-T383H-MU + 16CH PoE NVR (NVR-216MH-C/16P)
This HiLook 8MP Pro Series kit pairs eight IPC-T383H-MU Smart Hybrid Light turret cameras with a 16-channel PoE NVR — 4K detail with colour night capture, and a recorder built to grow. Each 8MP Pro turret uses Smart Hybrid Light: it stays on infrared by default at night, and when it detects motion it can switch on a warm white light to capture that moment in full colour. The 16-port PoE recorder powers all eight cameras over a single cable each, has two hard-drive bays for longer 4K retention, and leaves eight channels free for later.

§ 01Overview
What the IPC-T383H-MU is
This HiLook 8MP Pro Series kit is an eight-camera, 4K system on a 16-channel recorder — the same colour-on-motion Pro turrets as the 8-channel kit, but with a recorder that has plenty of room to grow and two hard-drive bays for longer 4K retention.
Eight IPC-T383H-MU Pro 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.
The Pro turret's headline feature is Smart Hybrid Light.
At 8MP (3840 × 2160) it captures fine detail by day, and at night it uses infrared by default; when it detects motion it can switch on a warm white light to capture that moment in full colour — colour detail only when something is happening.
Each camera carries 120 dB true WDR for high-contrast scenes and a built-in microphone for audio, and AcuSense classifies people and vehicles so 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, so you can fit a drive in each for more days of 4K footage — a 6TB drive is a sensible starting point and each bay takes a drive up to 8TB.
And with eight cameras on sixteen channels you keep eight channels spare for later, which makes this the kit to choose if you expect to expand.
These are not deterrence cameras: they record audio with a microphone but have no speaker, strobe or siren, so for active talk-back deterrence look at the T269 and T289 all-in-one kits.
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-T383H-MU
Longer 4K retention
Two HDD bays let you fit a drive in each, up to 8TB per bay, for more days of recording.
Colour when it matters
Smart Hybrid Light captures motion events in full colour, then returns to infrared.
Evidence-grade 4K
8MP Pro cameras capture faces and plates clearly and let you zoom into recorded footage.
§ 05Where it fits
Right at home in these scenarios
Properties planning to expand
Start with eight 4K cameras and add up to eight more on the spare channels over time.
Larger homes and businesses
Cover every approach in 4K with colour-on-motion, with headroom and storage to spare.
Multi-stage installs
Fit the key positions now and grow the system on the same recorder as needs change.
Detail-and-storage-critical sites
Keep more days of 4K footage across two drives where retention matters.
§ 06Setup
Installation & setup
What's in the box
Eight IPC-T383H-MU Pro turret 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 and the hybrid-light behaviour, and test each view and the night colour 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 T383H Pro 8CH kit runs the same eight cameras on an 8-channel recorder for less if you won't expand.
Need fewer cameras now
Compare the 6-camera T383H Pro kit with two spare channels, or the 4-camera T383H kit for a smaller start.
Want active deterrence
The 6-camera T289 4K deterrence kit adds strobe, siren and talk-back on every camera.
