The IPC-T561H-MU is particularly suited to customers looking for:
- Full-colour surveillance after dark

- Enhanced audio recording
- Wide general surveillance coverage
- Simple PoE installation
6MP High-Resolution Surveillance
The IPC-T561H-MU provides up to 3200 × 1800 resolution, delivering detailed video for everyday monitoring and recorded event review.
Its 6MP resolution provides a useful balance between image detail and recording storage requirements, making it suitable for both individual camera upgrades and multi-camera CCTV systems.
24/7 Full-Colour Imaging with ColorVu
The standout feature of the IPC-T561H-MU is ColorVu technology, which is designed to capture colour information in very low-light environments.
Traditional CCTV cameras commonly switch to black-and-white infrared footage after dark. ColorVu technology instead combines a highly light-sensitive imaging system with supplemental white light to help retain useful colour information.
This can make recorded footage more useful when identifying details such as:
- Vehicle colour
- Clothing colour
- Objects being carried
- Activity around entrances and driveways
- Details within retail and commercial areas
White-Light Illumination up to 30 Metres
Integrated white-light illumination provides additional lighting at distances of up to 30 metres, helping the camera maintain colour surveillance when natural or ambient lighting is insufficient.
This makes it particularly useful around:
- Driveways
- Front entrances
- Garages
- Side access areas
- Shopfronts
- Commercial entrances
Human and Vehicle Intelligent Detection
Deep-learning technology allows the IPC-T561H-MU to classify human and vehicle targets, helping the CCTV system focus on activity that is more likely to be security-related.
Compared with basic motion detection, intelligent classification can help reduce unnecessary events and make recorded footage easier to search and review.
Dual Microphones for Enhanced Audio Recording
The camera features an arrayed dual-microphone design to capture audio alongside surveillance video.
Audio can provide useful additional context when reviewing incidents around:
- Entrances
- Retail areas
- Reception areas
- Commercial properties
- Outdoor access points
Note: The built-in microphones are designed for audio recording. This model does not include a speaker for two-way audio communication.
Wide 2.8mm Lens for General Surveillance
The fixed 2.8mm lens provides broad coverage, making the IPC-T561H-MU well suited to general residential and commercial surveillance.
Ideal camera positions include:
- Front doors and entrances
- Driveways
- Retail shopfronts
- Office entrances
- Hallways and common areas
- Garages and workshops
- Outdoor property areas
Scene-Adaptive WDR
Scene-adaptive Wide Dynamic Range helps optimise image quality where lighting conditions vary across the scene.
This is particularly useful around doorways, garages, windows and entrances where bright sunlight and shaded areas can appear within the same image.
PoE for Simple Network Camera Installation
The IPC-T561H-MU supports Power over Ethernet, allowing power and network data to travel through a single Ethernet cable when connected to compatible PoE equipment.
This simplifies cabling and makes the camera suitable for new CCTV installations and compatible network-camera upgrades.
Efficient H.265+ Video Compression
H.265+ compression helps reduce network bandwidth and surveillance storage requirements while maintaining useful recorded image quality.
This helps make more efficient use of NVR hard drive capacity, particularly in systems using several high-resolution cameras.
HiLook NVR Compatibility
The IPC-T561H-MU is a PoE IP network camera designed for use with compatible HiLook network video recorders and network CCTV systems.
If you're purchasing this camera as an upgrade or replacement, check that your NVR supports 6MP resolution, PoE connectivity, audio recording and the required intelligent features.

Why Choose ColorVu?
Colour information can provide valuable additional context when reviewing security footage. Instead of relying entirely on black-and-white night images, ColorVu technology is designed to preserve colour details in low-light environments.
The IPC-T561H-MU is therefore particularly suitable for locations where identifying colours, clothing, vehicles and objects may be important when reviewing recorded events.
