Hikvision’s ColorVU Technology

One of the newest and most interesting innovations out of Hikvision is its’ new ColorVu technology. ColorVu may be one of the single largest breakthroughs in night vision technology in the last decade. The go-to standard for night vision through cameras for decades has been the use of infrared lighting, leading to a colorless and dull image from cameras at night or in the dark. Essentially; through the use of super large apertures, a larger sensor, and advanced ISP technology, Hikvision has solved this problem plaguing camera owners for years.

ColorVu technology allows for full-color, 4K Ultra-High Definition video in the dark, even down to a measurement of 0.0005 lux. That’s the same lighting as a moonless, starlit night. The results must be seen to be believed, so take a look at our review of ColorVu cameras from our secondary YouTube channel; Guardian Approved:

 

Improved 2nd Generation AcuSense Cameras

Another exciting product line from Hikvision is the 2nd Gen AcuSense Camera line. AcuSense cameras are characterized by possessing a set of common features. When a potential intruder is detected, the AcuSense camera triggers a VCA (video content analysis) event in its’ software. This VCA event allows the camera to filter human and vehicle-based movements over ambient movement in the environment and other sources, saving you time by not having to check for false alarms when a tree branch moves, rainfalls, or a stray animal walks across the frame. The footage is even automatically sorted and stored separately, saving you time going over hours of footage in the event of a detection.

Speaking of alarms; “SL” models of AcuSense cameras are equipped with a flashing strobe light and auditory warning that can be activated when potential intruders are on-site to dissuade their trespassing. Both the strobe light brightness and auditory warning volume are adjustable, allowing you to adapt them to their environment and actively reduce the risk of an actual intrusion.

2nd Gen AcuSense Cameras also support the Hikvision embedded open platform (HEOP). This allows them to run custom, switchable onboard third-party cloud applications on devices.

HeatPro Thermal Camera Solutions from Hikvision hikvision installer CCTV

The third and final offering from Hikvision that we’ll be discussing today is their line of “HeatPro” thermal surveillance cameras. What makes thermal cameras different than traditional, optical cameras? The answer is actually fairly simple. Standard, optical cameras measure light in the form of visible light radiation. Thermal cameras measure thermal radiation either instead of, or in addition to visible light radiation. All objects with a temperature above absolute zero emit thermal radiation, even at low levels. This kind of radiation, invisible to the human eye, can be detected by the imaging sensors in Hikvision’s HeatPro cameras.

Hikvision of course has additional technological advancements beyond simple heat detection for their HeatPro cameras. HeatPro cameras offer temperature measurement, allowing you to know if temperatures exceed or fall below a certain limit. This can provide an advanced warning before equipment freezes or overheats, or if a fire occurs. The HeatPro cameras are able to accurately detect and alert you to these threats even in areas with little or no visible light. They also feature an adaptive automatic gain control, digital detail enhancement, and 3D visual noise reduction for the clearest image possible!
