Hikvision incorporates 4K and varifocal options into its ColorVu line 2.0

These cameras have been well received in the North American market and, now, the manufacturer has expanded its offerings with 4K models, that bring color images to extremely high definition levels, de día y de noche; and varifocals, with motorized lenses ranging from 2,8 y 12 mm.

Hikvision it has announced its new generation of ColorVu cameras for more vivid color images 24 hours. These solutions, which are not yet available in the Spanish market, include 4K and varifocal options.

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

Hikvision's ColorVu technology solves this problem faced by many security camera users, allowing color video to be produced even in extremely low-light environments.

“This is one of our best-selling products since 2018, we introduced the first generation of ColorVu cameras to the market. The demand for low-light equipment continues to increase in the security industry, and we are pleased to see that our ColorVu 2.0 improved can bring a more vivid image experience”, comments Frank Zhang, president of the International Product and Solution Center at Hikvision.

Options for Turbo HD and network

The new ColorVu cameras 2.0 offer improved options, covering both Turbo HD (DF8T series / DF3T series / DF0T series) as well as network products. They can meet a multitude of needs, from high-performance products to more economical options and smart solutions.

Hikvision now includes ColorVu 4K cameras in its product line, which take color images to extremely high levels of definition, de día y de noche. With better image quality and more defined details, the ColorVu 4K cameras can be applied in a growing range of environments, including stadiums, airports, seaports and parking lots, where clear and high-definition images are needed.

Besides, Hikvision has also added varifocal cameras (DF8T-Z series) to the ColorVu models 2.0 to create color images 24 at all focal distances. With motorized lenses that 2,8 y 12 mm, allow zooming in on color images at night.

Enhanced color images

The lenses of ColorVu cameras 2.0 retain the super F1.0 aperture design, allowing four times more light to enter than conventional cameras (with the F2.0 design).

Achieving focus in high-definition cameras with the huge F1.0 apertures is extremely challenging technically for the industry, which requires very strict and precise manufacturing.

Hikvision ha aplicado su tecnología de Alineamiento Activo (AA) en la producción de las cámaras ColorVu para aumentar la precisión del ajuste a 4 píxeles o menos, incluso más pequeño que 1/30 del diámetro de un cabello.

Meanwhile, las imágenes a color nocturnas de las cámaras ColorVu 2.0 resultan mucho más brillantes que las de las cámaras convencionales gracias a sus sensores optimizados. Un nuevo algoritmo de reducción dinámica de ruido (DNR) 3D las ayuda a grabar detalles remotos adicionales claramente y obtener imágenes más nítidas.

Besides, las cámaras ColorVu 2.0 están equipadas con una luz suplementaria suave y cálida que permite garantizar imágenes a color incluso en ambientes completamente oscuros.
