- 4K ultra-high-definition surveillance
- 180° panoramic camera coverage
- Intelligent human and vehicle detection
- Visible and audible active deterrence

8MP 4K Panoramic Surveillance
The IPC-T289PH-MU/SL provides detailed 8MP 4K surveillance while its dual-lens system captures an exceptionally wide scene.
Rather than monitoring a conventional narrow camera view, the two lenses work together to create a stitched panoramic image spanning approximately 180 degrees.
This makes it particularly effective where wide-area visibility is more important than concentrating on one narrow viewing direction.
180° Dual-Lens Coverage – See More with One Camera
The major advantage of this camera is its 180° panoramic field of view. Two fixed lenses capture adjacent areas and combine them into a single ultra-wide surveillance image.
This can help reduce blind spots and, depending on the site layout, may reduce the number of conventional cameras required to monitor a wide area.
Excellent locations include:
- Wide building entrances
- Retail shopfronts
- Driveways
- Warehouse entrances
- Loading docks
- Car parks
- Courtyards
- Apartment and strata common areas
- Large open-plan spaces
Human and Vehicle Intelligent Detection
Intelligent detection helps the camera distinguish people and vehicles from other movement within the monitored scene.
This helps make motion events more relevant and can reduce unnecessary notifications caused by general movement such as foliage, shadows or other environmental activity.
Active Deterrence with Red & Blue Warning Lights
The IPC-T289PH-MU/SL does more than simply record activity. Its integrated active deterrence features can provide an immediate visible and audible response when configured security events occur.
- Red and blue flashing warning lights
- Built-in audible alarm
- White-light illumination
- Remote two-way communication
This makes it particularly suitable for entrances, car parks, driveways, loading areas and other locations where making a potential intruder aware that they have been detected may provide an additional layer of security.
Smart Hybrid Light for Flexible Night Surveillance
Smart Hybrid Light combines infrared and white-light illumination to provide flexible monitoring after dark.
-
Infrared Surveillance – Provides discreet night monitoring without continuous visible lighting
-
White-Light Illumination – Helps provide additional colour detail when visible lighting is required
-
Smart Operation – Allows the lighting response to work with configured surveillance events
This provides a useful balance between discreet everyday night monitoring and enhanced visible illumination when an important event occurs.
Two-Way Audio for Real-Time Communication
The IPC-T289PH-MU/SL includes a built-in microphone and speaker, allowing compatible systems to provide real-time two-way communication.
This can be particularly useful for:
- Warning unwanted visitors
- Speaking with delivery drivers
- Communicating at remote entrances
- Responding to after-hours activity
- Managing loading docks or unmanned access areas
2mm Dual-Lens Design for Ultra-Wide Coverage
The camera uses 2mm fixed lenses specifically designed to provide very broad coverage across the panoramic scene.
This is different from a conventional wide-angle 2.8mm turret camera. The dual-lens arrangement is intended for monitoring an exceptionally wide area rather than focusing tightly on a distant target.
For applications requiring identification at longer distances or a narrower field of view, a conventional fixed-lens or varifocal camera may be more appropriate.
Local Storage up to 512GB
The IPC-T289PH-MU/SL includes a microSD card slot supporting compatible storage of up to 512GB.
Local edge storage can provide additional recording flexibility and can complement footage stored on a compatible network video recorder.
For a complete multi-camera surveillance system with longer recording retention, connection to a compatible NVR with a surveillance hard drive is recommended.
PoE for Simple Network Camera Installation
The camera supports Power over Ethernet, allowing power and network data to travel through a single Ethernet cable when connected to compatible PoE equipment.
This simplifies installation and makes the camera suitable for new network CCTV systems as well as compatible system upgrades.
Efficient H.265+ Video Compression
H.265+ compression helps reduce network bandwidth and surveillance storage requirements while maintaining useful recorded image quality.
Efficient compression is particularly valuable with an 8MP panoramic camera because of the amount of image data produced by high-resolution video.
HiLook NVR Compatibility
The IPC-T289PH-MU/SL is a PoE IP network camera designed for use with compatible network video recorders and network CCTV systems.
If you're purchasing this camera for an existing system, check that your NVR supports the required resolution, PoE connection, panoramic camera stream and intelligent features.

Ideal Applications
- Wide residential driveways
- Retail storefronts
- Commercial building entrances
- Warehouses and loading areas
- Car parks
- Apartment and strata complexes
- Courtyards and open areas
- Sites where conventional cameras leave wide blind spots
- Locations requiring active visible deterrence
Why Choose a 180° Panoramic Camera?
A conventional turret camera is usually designed to monitor one specific direction. The IPC-T289PH-MU/SL is designed to monitor a much broader scene.
A panoramic camera can be particularly useful when:
- A single location needs extremely wide coverage
- You want to reduce blind spots
- A shopfront or entrance spans a large area
- Multiple conventional cameras would otherwise be required
- You want a cleaner installation with fewer camera bodies
