TECHNOLOGY Hikvision releases Gen 2 ColorVu cameras with 4K options

Hikvision has announced its new generation of ColorVu cameras for more vivid 24/7 colourful imaging, including 4K options in its full-colour offerings.

In video security, colour-related information is crucial to identifying details of events, especially at night. Conventional cameras with infrared lighting provide only black and white images for night monitoring. As a result, people, vehicles, or other important objects can appear blurry and blend into the background, making critical elements difficult to distinguish.

It’s a challenge faced by security camera users the world over, and the good news is that Hikvision ColorVu technology provides a solution, enabling cameras to produce colourful videos even in extremely dim environments.

“Since 2018 when we introduced the first generation of ColorVu cameras to the market, they have been one of our best selling products,” said Frank Zhang, President of International Product and Solution Center at Hikvision.

“The demand for low-light cameras continues to increase in the security industry, and we’re glad to see that our upgraded Gen 2 ColorVu cameras can bring even more vivid imaging experience to our customers.”

Enriched ColorVu options with 4K cameras

The newly released Gen 2 ColorVu cameras offer enriched options designed to satisfy a multitude of customer needs – from high performance products to budgetfriendly options and smart solutions.

Hikvision has now included 4K ColorVu cameras in its product range, which brings colour imaging to new ultra-high-definition levels day and night.

With better image quality and richer detail, 4K ColorVu cameras can be deployed across an even wider range of scenarios including stadiums, airports, harbours, and parking lots, where clear and highresolution images are necessary.

Enhanced colour imaging with AA manufacturing technology

Gen 2 ColorVu cameras lenses have kept the F1.0 super-aperture design, allowing four times more light to enter the lens than conventional F2.0 cameras.

Focusing high definition cameras with large F1.0 apertures is extremely technical, requiring precise manufacturing. Hikvision has applied its advanced Active Alignment (AA) Technology in the production of ColorVu cameras to bring adjustment accuracy to within 4 pixels – smaller than a 1/30 hair diameter.

With optimised sensors, Gen 2 ColorVu camera night time colour imaging renders much more brightly than conventional cameras. A new 3D dynamic noise reduction (DNR) algorithm helps the camera record additional remote details clearly and deliver sharper images.

In addition, Gen 2 ColorVu cameras are equipped with a soft and warm supplemental light that illuminates to guarantee colour imaging even in zerolight environments.

Quick target search with AcuSense technology

Most security cameras are deployed to focus on alarms triggered by human and vehicles, especially at night. The newly released ColorVu cameras can integrate Hikvision’s cutting-edge AcuSense technology to help users focus only on the events that matter.

Empowered by deep learning algorithms, ColorVu cameras can distinguish people and vehicles from other moving objects such as rain, leaves and animals. Alarms will only be triggered when the pre-set intrusion type takes place. Footage is sorted by human and vehicle categories, with object classification leading to vastly improved search efficiency.
