HiLook IPC-T259H-(2.8 mm) 5MP ColorVu Lite Fixed Turret Network POE IP Camera IP67 24/7 Colour - Grey

The camera is great, as is the app to use it on a network recorder however this is based on the ones I already had. Sadly I was sent the IPC-T249H, 4mp camera, so not as described. Refund as easy, other than having to drop the package at an Evri drop off point.

Camera it's self is amazing I've used them before but this was delivered with thr tamper seal missing and had clearly been mounted and the box had just been taped shut again

Ok, firstly this is a HiLook brand camera - it's a budget version of Hikvision cameras and as such it is a bit more cheaply made than their premium units, but still durable. The shell is plastic, not metal, and mounting is a bit more of a faff than it is with the Hikvision turrets, but neither of these are significant problems in most cases but it's clearly more suited to internal use or a residential setting. During the day, and early evening, these are fantastic cameras - they offer high quality images and good colour rendition. Even in the early evening you can get respectable bright images with 1/25 or 1/50 shutter where some competitors might require 1/8 or slower, this drastically improves clarity. However, at night, where there is no other artificial lighting, they're utterly useless. In my application I get a plain black image. The ColourVu cameras do not have an IR emitter. Instead they have an obnoxiously bright white LED, so the camera might as well be an always-on floodlight. There is no capability to have this source turn on only when movement is detected (or otherwise programmatically) and if you are going to use white lights at all then you might as well just use standard cameras and add white LED floodlights to them. For me, this is completely unusable, and will be replaced with a normal 30m IR range camera. If you are using them in a building or somewhere the constant white light will not offend your neighbours or contribute to light pollution, then they're good cameras, but not suitable for everyone.

Excellent fitted by a qualified technician. Camera image so clear and the night light brightness superb. Value for money
