The HiLook THC-T129-MS(2.8mm) is a 2MP Turbo HD turret camera with 24/7 ColorVu colour imaging, a built-in microphone and IP66 weatherproofing, switchable across TVI/AHD/CVI/CVBS signal types over a single coax cable.
HiLook THC-T129-MS(2.8mm) 2MP ColorVu Audio Turret Camera
The HiLook THC-T129-MS uses a CMOS sensor delivering 1920 × 1080 (2MP) resolution, with a minimum illumination of 0.001 Lux (F1.0, AGC on) and 0 Lux with white light active. 24/7 colour imaging is maintained via the F1.0 aperture and white-light supplement lighting up to 20 metres.
The 2.8mm fixed lens (3.6mm also available separately) is mounted on an M12 lens mount. A built-in microphone captures audio over coax, and the camera is rated IP66 for outdoor installation.
2MP ColorVu Imaging
24/7 colour imaging is maintained via a large F1.0 aperture and white-light illumination, rather than switching to black & white IR at night.
Switchable Signal Support (TVI/AHD/CVI/CVBS)
A single coaxial port supports four switchable analog signal types — TVI, AHD, CVI and CVBS — recording at up to 1080p@30fps depending on connected DVR.
Built-In Microphone
A built-in microphone (the "-MS" in the model name) transmits audio over the same coaxial cable as video, avoiding the need for separate audio wiring.
IP66 Weatherproofing
Rated IP66 against dust and powerful water jets, suitable for permanent outdoor installation.
