HiLook IPC-T383H-MU Pro 8MP Acusense Turret IP Camera with Mic Colour Night
The HiLook IPC-T383H-MU is a Pro-series 8MP (4K) fixed turret camera for everyday outdoor and indoor monitoring where you want sharp detail and accurate alerts. AcuSense deep-learning classification picks out people and vehicles and filters away the moving trees, rain and shadows that trigger nuisance notifications. Smart Hybrid Light keeps recordings clear after dark — infrared for a discreet view, or white light to hold full colour on a detected event — and a built-in microphone adds audio to your footage. A 120 dB true WDR sensor copes with backlit doorways, and the whole camera runs over one PoE cable behind an IP67 housing. It comes in a 2.8 mm or 4 mm lens and white or black.

§ 01Overview
What the IPC-T383H-MU is
The HiLook IPC-T383H-MU is a Pro-series 8MP fixed turret camera that pairs genuine 4K detail with smart, low-noise alerts.
At 3840 × 2160 it captures the clarity you need to identify people and vehicles around a home, shop or commercial site, and AcuSense deep-learning classification means the camera tells the difference between a person or car and the swaying branches, rain and shadows that set off ordinary motion alerts.
That keeps your notifications and recorded events focused on what actually matters.
After dark it uses Smart Hybrid Light.
By default it runs discreet 850 nm infrared to about 30 metres for clean black-and-white footage, and on a detected event it can switch on its white LEDs to capture the scene in full colour — handy when you want to see clothing or vehicle colour at the moment something happens.
A 120 dB true WDR sensor balances bright and dark areas in the same frame, so a backlit doorway or a driveway against a sunset stays usable, and a built-in microphone records audio alongside the video for extra context.
It is an easy camera to install and live with: one PoE cable carries power and data, the turret housing aims neatly under an eave or on a ceiling, and H.265+ compression stretches storage on a HiLook NVR or a microSD card of up to 512 GB.
The IP67 metal housing handles Australian weather, and it comes with a 2.8 mm wide lens (about 119° horizontal) or a 4 mm option for a tighter, longer view, in white or black.
Note it has a built-in microphone but no speaker, so it records audio rather than offering two-way talk.
It is genuine stock with a local 3-year warranty and support.

§ 04Why choose this
Built for the way you actually use the IPC-T383H-MU
Alerts that mean something
AcuSense classifies people and vehicles and ignores animals, branches and shadows, so notifications stay relevant.
Useful night footage
Smart Hybrid Light gives a discreet infrared view by default and switches to full colour on an event.
Simple, tidy install
One PoE cable and a neat turret housing make it quick to fit under an eave or on a ceiling.
§ 05Where it fits
Right at home in these scenarios
Home entrances and driveways
A wide 2.8 mm view covers a door, carport or driveway with accurate people and vehicle alerts.
Shops and offices
Clear 4K footage of entries, tills and service areas, with audio recording for added context.
Backyards and perimeters
AcuSense keeps alerts to genuine intruders rather than pets or moving foliage along a fence line.
Multi-camera systems
An easy, consistent turret to standardise on across a HiLook NVR install of several cameras.
§ 06Setup
Installation & setup
What's in the box
One IPC-T383H-MU turret 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
Fit it to a wall or ceiling aimed across the area, run one network cable to a HiLook PoE NVR or switch, and activate it on the NVR or in the app. Set the lens to suit the scene, choose the night-light behaviour and AcuSense rules, and test the view before relying on it.

§ 09Bundles
Recommended packages
Record it on a HiLook NVR
Pair it with 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 each 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.
Power several cameras
For a few cameras without an NVR's PoE ports, add a 5-port PoE switch or 8-port PoE switch.
Compare the range
Want active deterrence and two-way audio? Look at the IPC-T289H-MU, or full-time colour with the IPC-T581H-MU.
