HiLook 8MP 4K Smart Hybrid Light CCTV Kit – 4 Camera AI PoE NVR System (180° Panoramic + Turret) for Front Yard, Backyard & Side Paths
Built for large Australian homes, this HiLook (by Hikvision) 4K kit pairs two IPC-T289PH-MU/SL 180° panoramic turrets for wide front-yard and backyard coverage with two IPC-T381H-MU AcuSense turrets that lock down narrow side paths — all running into an 8-channel NVR-108MH-K/8P AI recorder with built-in PoE. Every camera shoots true 8MP (4K), sees in full colour at night with Smart Hybrid Light, classifies people and vehicles on-device, and can warn off intruders with an active strobe and siren. Ships pre-loaded with a 4TB surveillance-grade HDD for weeks of continuous recording.

Coverage Designed Around Your Property
Front Yard & Backyard — 180° Panoramic
Two IPC-T289PH-MU/SL turrets each sweep a full 180° horizontal view from a single point, so one camera covers a wide open lawn, driveway or rear yard with no blind spots and no second unit.
Two Side Paths — Focused Turrets
Two IPC-T381H-MU AcuSense turrets put detailed 4K detail down narrow side access points, the routes intruders use most — clear faces, clothing and number plates at the gate.
Smart Hybrid Light — Colour at Night
All four cameras switch intelligently between discreet infrared and bright white light, delivering full-colour footage in darkness and flooding the area only when a threat is detected.
Active Deterrence
The panoramic cameras add a flashing red/blue strobe and a built-in siren that trigger automatically on a human or vehicle event — scaring off intruders before they reach the house.
AcuSense Human & Vehicle AI
On-camera deep-learning filters out cats, branches and rain, alerting you only to real people and vehicles — fewer false alarms and faster searches through recorded footage.
Two-Way Audio & 120dB WDR
Speak to visitors or warn off trespassers through the panoramic cameras, while true 120dB WDR balances harsh backlight so faces aren't lost against bright sky or headlights.
Single Cable Per Camera
The NVR-108MH-K/8P has eight built-in PoE ports, so each camera needs just one network cable for both power and video — no separate power supplies, no electrician. The recorder auto-detects the cameras, and AcuSense events are colour-tagged on the timeline for fast review on your phone via the HiLookVision / Hik-Connect app.

Need More Storage?
The kit includes a 4TB surveillance HDD as standard — enough for roughly 2–4 weeks of continuous 4K footage across all four cameras, and considerably longer using AcuSense motion/event recording. Want maximum retention? Select None on the storage option and add a larger 6TB, 8TB or up to 16TB surveillance drive from the add-ons. The NVR's single bay accepts any 24/7-rated SATA HDD.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this kit suitable for a large property?
Yes. The two 180° panoramic cameras are made for wide open areas like a front lawn or backyard, while the two turret cameras give focused detail on side paths and gates — four cameras cover a typical large home.
Does it record in colour at night?
Yes. Smart Hybrid Light delivers full-colour night footage and only switches on bright white light when motion is detected, so you get colour detail without lighting the whole yard 24/7.
Will it alert me to people and not animals?
AcuSense uses on-camera AI to classify humans and vehicles, filtering out most animals, foliage and weather to cut false alarms.
Can the cameras scare off intruders?
The panoramic cameras have an active red/blue strobe and siren plus two-way audio, so you can trigger a deterrent automatically or speak through the camera from your phone.
How many cameras can the NVR take?
It's an 8-channel recorder with 8 PoE ports — this kit uses 4, leaving room to add up to 4 more HiLook cameras later.
Do I need a separate power supply?
No. Each camera runs on a single network cable via the NVR's built-in PoE — power and video in one run, no power adapters at the camera.
How much footage does 4TB hold?
Around 2–4 weeks of continuous 4K recording from all four cameras, and longer with motion-based recording. Choose None and add a larger drive for more.
Can I view it on my phone?
Yes — the free HiLookVision / Hik-Connect app gives live view, playback and push alerts on iOS and Android from anywhere.
Is it weatherproof for Australian conditions?
All four cameras are IP67-rated and operate from –30°C to +60°C, suited to sun, rain and dust outdoors.
