§ 01Overview
What the IPC-T240H-MU is
The HiLook IPC-T240H-MU is a 4MP fixed turret camera designed for entries, driveways and yards where you want sharp, reliable coverage with audio at a sensible price. Its 1/3 inch CMOS sensor records 2560 by 1440 at up to 20 fps, with 120 dB WDR to balance bright doorways against shaded interiors, capturing twice the detail of a Full HD camera.
It comes with a fixed lens, so choose the focal length for the scene before you order: the 2.8 mm gives a wider entry or room view, while the 4 mm reaches a little further down a path or driveway. At night the camera uses Hikvision's EXIR 2.0 infrared to light the scene evenly to about 30 m in black and white, avoiding the bright centre hotspot that older IR cameras can produce.
A built-in microphone records audio alongside the video, useful for capturing what is said at a doorway or counter. There is a microphone but no built-in speaker, so the camera records sound rather than offering two-way talk. Smart motion detection with false-alarm reduction helps keep recording and alerts focused on genuine activity, and H.265+ compression keeps storage and bandwidth low.
It is an IP67-rated outdoor camera that runs on PoE (802.3af) or 12 VDC over a single cable and records to a microSD card or to a HiLook or Hikvision NVR. The night image is black and white in infrared mode, as this is an IR camera rather than a full-colour or dual-light model.

§ 04Why choose this
Built for the way you actually use the IPC-T240H-MU
Even night vision
EXIR 2.0 infrared spreads light evenly to 30 m, avoiding the centre hotspot of cheaper IR cameras for a more usable black-and-white night image.
Hikvision engineering, lower cost
Built on Hikvision optical and IR technology under the HiLook value brand, it offers proven performance at a noticeably lower price, backed by a 3-year warranty.
Simple single-cable install
PoE power and data over one cable, a fixed lens and a compact turret body make it quick and cheap to deploy on a home or small-business job.
§ 05Where it fits
Right at home in these scenarios
Front verandahs and entries
A wide fixed lens covers a porch, doorway and footpath approach with audio for a complete record of deliveries and visitors.
Retail counters and small offices
4MP clarity records transactions and customer interactions, with EXIR night vision for after-hours coverage.
Driveways and side access
Cover a gate, path or side passage with even 30 m night vision and smart motion detection to keep alerts relevant.
Standalone or NVR systems
Record to a microSD card for a single camera, or add it to a HiLook or Hikvision NVR for continuous multi-camera recording.
§ 06Setup
Installation & setup
What's in the box
The IPC-T240H-MU turret camera, mounting base and screw pack, a waterproofing gland for the network connector and a quick start guide. A PoE switch or injector, network cable, microSD card and any junction box or bracket are not included.
Installation requirements
Mount the camera to a wall or eave, ideally 2.5 to 3 m high, angled down over the area you want to watch, and run Cat5e or Cat6 back to a PoE switch or a HiLook/Hikvision NVR (IEEE 802.3af). Seal the connector with the supplied gland for outdoor use. Insert a microSD card or point recording at your NVR, set the smart motion detection to suit the scene, then test before leaving site.

Recommended packages
Record it on a HiLook NVR
For continuous recording across several cameras, pair it with a HiLook PoE NVR such as the NVR-108MH-C/8P 8-channel, or the NVR-104MH-C/4P 4-channel for a few cameras.
Mounts and switches
Angle it off a wall with the DS-1273ZJ-130-TRL turret bracket, and power several cameras from the HiLook NS-0105P-35 5-port PoE switch.
