HiLook Cameras

HiLook is Hikvision's value-focused brand, designed for homeowners and small businesses that want reliable, professional-grade surveillance without the premium price tag. HiLook cameras are built on the same platform as Hikvision and are fully compatible with HiLook NVRs, making them a practical choice for straightforward installations.

The HiLook camera range covers the most common installation scenarios - from fixed turret cameras for driveways and entry points, to PTZ cameras for larger outdoor areas, and active deterrence models that can warn off intruders before they act.

Frequently asked questions

Are HiLook cameras compatible with Hikvision NVRs? HiLook cameras are ONVIF-compatible and can connect to Hikvision NVRs, though AI features like smart detection work best when cameras and recorders are from the same brand and series.

What is the difference between HiLook Standard and ProSeries? ProSeries cameras have a larger F1.2 aperture, which allows more light into the sensor - resulting in brighter, sharper footage in low-light conditions. They also support more advanced AI features when paired with a K series NVR.

Do HiLook cameras work with third-party NVRs? Yes - HiLook cameras support ONVIF Profile S, making them compatible with most third-party NVRs. Basic recording and live view will work, though some advanced features may not be available.
