The Hikvision HiLook IPC-T221H 2MP Dome IP Camera is a high-quality security camera designed to deliver crisp full-HD video with reliable performance and durability. From its 1/2.8″ progressive scan CMOS sensor, it captures 2MP (1920×1080) resolution imagery at up to 30 frames per second, ensuring detailed visuals in both static monitoring and motion capture. The camera is offered with either a 2.8 mm or 4 mm fixed lens, allowing selection between wider field of view or tighter coverage depending on location.
Designed for round-the-clock protection, the HiLook IPC-T221H includes built-in IR illumination with a range of up to 30 meters, enabling clear black-and-white night vision even under zero visible light. A smart IR mechanism helps reduce overexposure when objects are close. Color performance remains strong in low light, with a minimum illumination of approximately 0.01 Lux in color mode when AGC is enabled.
Image clarity is further enhanced by features such as digital wide dynamic range (DWDR), backlight compensation (BLC), and 3D digital noise reduction (3D-DNR). These help maintain visibility in challenging lighting conditions—e.g., with strong backlight, shadows, or dim ambient light.
Built to endure harsh environmental conditions, the unit is rated IP67, making it dust-tight and highly resistant to water ingress. It supports Power over Ethernet (PoE), which simplifies installation by allowing both power and data to run over a single cable. For flexible deployment, the camera offers pan, tilt, and rotation adjustment: pan 0°-360°, tilt up to ~75°, and rotation 0°-360°, which helps with configuring optimal angles after mounting.
Video streams are compressed using efficient codecs (H.265/H.265+/H.264/H.264+), enabling significant reductions in bandwidth and storage demand without sacrificing visual detail. Sub-streams allow for lighter loads when live-viewing or when using less demanding devices. This makes the HiLook IPC-T221H suitable for residential, commercial or outdoor surveillance tasks where both quality and efficiency are required.
