HiLook IPC-T289PH-MU/SL-BLK 8MP 180° Turret Camera with Active Blue/Red Strobe and Two-Way Audio, IR 30m 2mm (Black)
The HiLook IPC-T289PH-MU/SL-BLK is an 8MP all-in-one camera that covers a full 180° in one view, so a single unit can watch a wide frontage, car park or yard that would otherwise need two cameras. A single 2 mm lens spreads the scene across 4256 × 1888 pixels, Smart Hybrid Light keeps the picture in full colour to about 30 metres at night, and a built-in microphone and 97 dB speaker give you genuine two-way audio. When it detects a person or vehicle it can flash red and blue strobes and sound an alarm to warn an intruder off. It runs over one PoE cable or 12 V DC behind an IP67 metal housing. This is the black model.

§ 01Overview
What the IPC-T289PH-MU/SL-BLK is
The HiLook IPC-T289PH-MU/SL-BLK is an 8MP 180° all-in-one camera built to replace two or three ordinary cameras at a wide open spot.
Its single 2 mm lens gives a true 180° horizontal field of view, mapped across a 4256 × 1888 sensor, so one unit on a corner, wide wall or pole can take in a whole frontage, car park, intersection or yard in a single stream.
Because the panoramic coverage is the point, it is best aimed at area awareness rather than long-range face detail — identification falls off past about 10 metres, so for reading faces or plates at distance you would add a standard lens camera alongside it.
At night it does not drop to grey.
Smart Hybrid Light pairs a high-sensitivity sensor with white LEDs to hold full colour to about 30 metres, and it can switch to 850 nm infrared, also to 30 metres, for a discreet black-and-white view.
Person and vehicle detection (triggered on motion) keeps alerts focused on people and cars rather than every shadow, and the camera earns its ‘all-in-one’ name with active deterrence: on a detected target it can flash red and blue strobes and sound an alarm, while a built-in microphone and 97 dB speaker let you listen and talk back through the camera.
It is built for outdoor Australian use — an IP67-rated metal housing (bar the trim ring), a wide operating range and efficient H.265+ recording.
It can run completely standalone through the Hik-Connect app with a microSD card up to 512 GB, or connect to a HiLook NVR over a single PoE cable (802.3af) for continuous recording and full event management; a 12 V DC supply is also supported.
Retailers often market this model as ‘dual-lens’, but the official specification is a single 2 mm panoramic lens.
This is the black casing; a white version is also available.
It is genuine stock with a local 3-year warranty and support.

§ 04Why choose this
Built for the way you actually use the IPC-T289PH-MU/SL-BLK
Colour through the night
Smart Hybrid Light holds full colour to about 30 m, with infrared on hand for a discreet black-and-white view.
It warns, not just watches
Red and blue strobes, a 97 dB speaker and two-way audio let you actively deter an intruder rather than only record one.
Flexible to run
Use it standalone on Hik-Connect with a microSD card, or record it on a HiLook NVR over one PoE cable.
§ 05Where it fits
Right at home in these scenarios
Wide frontages and car parks
A single unit takes in a whole shopfront, driveway or parking area in one 180° stream.
Yards and open areas
Panoramic coverage suits a back yard, compound or laneway where you want situational awareness over fine detail.
Entry points needing deterrence
Strobe, siren and talk-down audio help warn off loiterers at gates, alleyways and access points.
Pair with a detail camera
Run it alongside a fixed-lens turret so the wide camera sees everything and the second reads faces or plates up close.
§ 06Setup
Installation & setup
What's in the box
One IPC-T289PH-MU/SL-BLK camera with mounting accessories and a quick start guide. A HiLook NVR, PoE switch or power supply, network cable and any microSD card are supplied separately. Optional brackets include the DS-1273ZJ-140 wall mount.
Installation requirements
Mount it above 3 metres on a corner, wide wall or pole overlooking the area, angle the lens 68 to 75 degrees down, and run one network cable back to a HiLook PoE NVR or switch (or use 12 V DC). Activate it in Hik-Connect or on the NVR, set the night mode, detection and deterrence rules, then walk-test the 180° coverage.

§ 09Bundles
Recommended packages
Record it on a HiLook NVR
Connect it to a PoE recorder such as the NVR-104MH-C-4P (4-channel), the NVR-108MH-C-8P (8-channel) or the NVR-216MH-C-16P (16-channel); the NVR powers the camera over its built-in ports.
Add a surveillance hard drive
HiLook NVRs ship without a drive — add a surveillance-grade 2TB hard drive or 6TB hard drive to record continuously.
Pair with a detail camera
Add a standard turret such as the IPC-T383H-MU or the ColorVu IPC-T581H-MU so one camera covers wide and the other reads faces up close.
Mounting options
Fit it with the DS-1273ZJ-140 bracket wall mount or run cabling neatly through a DS-1280ZJ-DM21 junction box.
