Overview
The HiLook IPC-T229HAA-LU(2.8MM) is a 2MP ColorVuHikvision AcuSense vs ColorVu: UK Installer Guide for 2026 3.0 turret network camera with Smart HybridSmart Hybrid Light Light: it records in full colour 24/7 down to 0.0005 lux, and switches between white light and infrared (both up to 30 m) to suit the scene. It is the next-generation successor to the IPC-T229HA-LU, adding ColorVuHikvision AcuSense vs ColorVu: UK Installer Guide for 2026 3.0 imaging and Hikvision’s HikAI-ISP noise reduction for noticeably cleaner night-time footage, with 120 dB WDR for doorways, forecourts and other high-contrast scenes.
Motion Detection 3.0 classifies people and vehicles, so alerts and recordings are triggered by the targets that matter rather than swaying trees or headlights. The built-in microphone with environment noise filtering adds real-time audio over the same network cable. The 2.8mm F1.0 lens gives a wide 106° field of view, and the compact IP67-rated turret body is the UK installer favourite for both indoor and outdoor mounting.

What does Smart Hybrid Light do?
It combines white light and infrared, both up to 30 m — full-colour night footage when you want it, discreet IR when you don't.
What lens and field of view does it have?
A 2.8mm fixed lens with a 106° horizontal field of view. A 4mm version (88°) is also made for narrower, longer views.
