HiLook THC-T220-MS(2.8mm) is a 2MP 1080p analogue turret camera with a built-in microphone, Smart EXIR infrared night vision up to 40 metres, and 4-in-1 switchable video output (TVI/AHD/CVI/CVBS). Designed for indoor and outdoor installations, it provides clear full HD footage day and night, with audio transmitted over the existing coaxial cable without the need for separate audio wiring.
HiLook THC-T220-MS(2.8mm) 2MP 1080p Analogue Turret Camera with Built-In Microphone and 40m Smart IR
The HiLook THC-T220-MS(2.8mm) is a 2MP full HD analogue turret CCTV camera from HiLook by Hikvision. It delivers 1920 × 1080 resolution footage via a 2.8mm fixed lens and provides Smart EXIR infrared illumination up to 40 metres, enabling clear black and white imaging in complete darkness. A built-in microphone transmits audio over the coaxial cable using Audio over Coax (AoC) technology, allowing sound to be recorded alongside video without running a separate audio cable.
The camera supports four analogue video formats — HDTVI, AHD, HDCVI and CVBS — switchable via a button on the body, making it compatible with the majority of modern analogue DVRs. The all-metal housing is rated IP66 for dust and water resistance, suitable for year-round indoor and outdoor use.
2MP 1080p Full HD Imaging
The camera uses a 2MP CMOS image sensor delivering a maximum resolution of 1920 × 1080. The 2.8mm fixed lens provides a wide horizontal field of view of 106.4°, vertical FOV of 57.9° and diagonal FOV of 124.6°, making it suitable for covering entrances, corridors, reception areas and open spaces from a single mounting point.
Frame rates of 1080p@25fps (PAL) and 1080p@30fps (NTSC) are supported across HDTVI, AHD and HDCVI output formats.
Smart EXIR Night Vision up to 40 Metres
The camera is equipped with a Smart EXIR LED infrared array providing illumination at distances of up to 40 metres. Smart IR automatically adjusts infrared LED intensity based on the subject's distance from the camera, helping to prevent image overexposure on nearby subjects while maintaining illumination at longer distances. In complete darkness with IR active, minimum illumination reaches 0 Lux.
Built-In Microphone with Audio over Coax
The built-in microphone captures ambient audio which is transmitted to a compatible DVR over the existing coaxial cable using Audio over Coax (AoC) technology. This eliminates the need for a separate audio cable run between the camera and recorder, simplifying installation — particularly useful for retrofit projects or locations where additional cabling would be difficult or costly.
Note: audio recording requires a compatible AoC-capable DVR. Audio over Coax is not supported by all analogue recorders.
4-in-1 Switchable Video Output
The camera supports four analogue video formats, selectable via a physical switch button on the camera body:
-
HDTVI — compatible with HiLook and Hikvision TVI DVRs
-
AHD — compatible with AHD-format recorders
-
HDCVI — compatible with Dahua and CVI-format recorders
-
CVBS — standard analogue output for legacy recorders
This universal compatibility makes the THC-T220-MS suitable for use with virtually any modern analogue CCTV recorder without the need to specify format at the point of purchase.
Digital WDR and Image Enhancement
The camera includes Digital WDR (DWDR) to help manage high-contrast scenes such as entrances with bright outdoor light in the background. Additional image processing features include Backlight Compensation (BLC), 3D DNR noise reduction, brightness and sharpness adjustment and Mirror mode, all configurable via the camera's OSD menu on a connected monitor.
IP66 Weatherproof All-Metal Housing
The turret housing is constructed from metal and carries an IP66 protection rating, providing full dust ingress protection and resistance to powerful water jets. Operating temperature range is −40°C to +60°C, making the camera suitable for use in all UK weather conditions year-round. The turret design mounts flush to the surface, reducing the risk of glare from direct sunlight or artificial light sources compared to dome or bullet housings.
Flexible Mounting and Adjustment
The camera offers full three-axis adjustment: Pan 0°–360°, Tilt 0°–75°, Rotation 0°–360°, allowing precise aiming of the lens after mounting. The turret form factor supports both ceiling and wall mounting, and can be installed with the cable exiting from the rear or the side depending on site requirements. An optional junction box is available separately for concealed cabling.

Does the built-in microphone work with any DVR?
The microphone uses Audio over Coax (AoC) technology. Audio recording is only supported when connected to a compatible AoC-capable DVR. Not all analogue recorders support AoC — check your recorder's specifications before relying on this feature.
What is the night vision range?
The Smart EXIR infrared LEDs illuminate up to 40 metres. Smart IR adjusts LED intensity automatically based on subject distance to avoid overexposure of nearby objects. In complete darkness with IR active, minimum illumination is 0 Lux.
Is it suitable for outdoor installation?
Yes. The camera carries an IP66 protection rating and operates from −40°C to +60°C, making it suitable for permanent outdoor installation in all UK weather conditions.
What field of view does the 2.8mm lens provide?
Horizontal 106.4°, vertical 57.9°, diagonal 124.6°. This wide angle is well suited to covering entrances, open rooms and car parks from a single camera.
Does it need a separate power supply?
Yes. The camera requires a 12V DC power supply (max 3.7W), separate from the BNC coaxial video connection. Power is typically supplied via a dedicated PSU box or individual camera power supplies at the recorder end.
Can the camera be adjusted after mounting?
Yes. The turret design provides three-axis adjustment: Pan 0°–360°, Tilt 0°–75°, Rotation 0°–360°, allowing the lens direction to be set precisely after the base is fixed to the wall or ceiling.
