Product Description
The Hilook 5 MP turret camera (THC-T250-M-R) is a 5 MP (megapixel) Turbo HD mini turret for entrances, corridors and other key areas. It connects to a compatible DVR (digital video recorder) over coaxial cable.
What the specs mean in use
- Lens: fixed 2.8 mm or 3.6 mm, depending on the variant supplied. The lens does not zoom. As a rule, the shorter 2.8 mm gives a wider view, and the 3.6 mm a narrower, closer one.
- Night vision: infrared (IR) to 20 metres. The picture is colour by day and black-and-white under IR at night. Smart IR adjusts infrared exposure so nearby subjects are clearer.
- Housing: metal and plastic, IP66-rated for outdoor weather resistance.
- Image processing: Digital Wide Dynamic Range (DWDR) for scenes with bright and dark areas, plus digital noise reduction.
- Video output: switchable between HD-TVI, AHD, CVI and CVBS (analogue composite video).
- Power: 12V DC.
What else you need
- A DVR with a channel that accepts the output format you select.
- Coaxial cable between camera and recorder.
- A stable 12V DC supply. IR LEDs draw more power at night, so a weak supply or a long cable run can cause flicker or a black screen after dark.
