Hikvision presents ColorVu 3.0, an innovative technology that simplifies video analysis.

The company launches the new generation of cameras with ColorVu 3.0 technology, taking network video surveillance of the Pro series with ColorVu 3.0 to unprecedented levels.

These cameras deliver sharp, full-color images 24/7, even in complete darkness, thanks to enhanced sensors, an F1.0 aperture, and intelligent hybrid light. In addition, the incorporation of advanced artificial intelligence optimizes the detection of people and vehicles, reducing false alarms and improving real-time security.

Beyond the image: intelligence, audio, and ease of use

• ColorVu 3.0: AI-enhanced night vision: The new cameras in the Pro series are equipped with ColorVu 3.0, which integrates Hikvision’s advanced image processing capabilities with artificial intelligence, AI-ISP. This technology offers AI-based noise reduction and dynamic motion trail reduction, significantly enhancing both the clarity of dynamic images and the detail in static scenes. This enables users to achieve superior image quality even under challenging lighting conditions.
• AcuSense 3.0: Intelligence adapted to various scenarios: With the introduction of AcuSense 3.0, the new cameras simplify video analysis with AcuSearch. This feature enables image-based video search with just one click, immediately displaying the relevant footage, greatly enhancing retrieval efficiency. Additionally, dual updates in perimeter protection and 3.0 motion detection algorithms have been adapted to better suit diverse application scenarios, improving accuracy and reducing false alarms caused by lights impacting parked vehicles at night.
• Audio 2.0: Crystal-clear audio with intelligence: In addition to enhancing image quality and intelligence, the Pro series with ColorVu 3.0 also offers a new audio experience. Audio 2.0 provides improved sound reception and speaker effects. The dual-array microphone design ensures excellent noise reduction, delivering greater vocal clarity and overall audio quality. The integration of an intelligent PA speaker expands sound coverage, amplifying alert effects and facilitating more effective two-way audio communication.
• Improved design and materials: Hikvision not only prioritizes technological innovation but also carefully selects the materials for its products. Enhanced corrosion protection ensures a longer-lasting customer experience. Additionally, Hikvision has improved its packaging to be more environmentally friendly, striving to protect the planet.

Moreover, Hikvision reinforces corrosion protection and sustainability in its EasyIP 4.0 products, offering more durable and eco-friendly solutions.

With ColorVu 3.0, we enhance image quality, intelligence, and user experience, helping our partners achieve commercial success, says Haoran Zhang, product manager at Hikvision Europe.

Key advances of ColorVu 3.0

• 24/7 full-color images: State-of-the-art image sensors and lenses with an F1.0 aperture capture more light, ensuring bright and detailed images even in low-light environments.
• Smart hybrid light: The cameras automatically switch between warm light and infrared vision, adapting to ambient conditions to minimize light pollution without compromising visibility.
• Integrated AI for enhanced precision: Deep Learning technology enables advanced detection of people and vehicles, reducing false alarms triggered by animals, shadows, or adverse weather conditions.
• Wider dynamic range and noise reduction: The combination of WDR technology and 3D DNR improves contrast and clarity, ensuring effective surveillance in complex scenarios, such as areas with uneven lighting or reflections.

At Hikvision, we continue to innovate to provide smarter and more effective security solutions. With ColorVu 3.0, we have further raised the standard for night video surveillance, ensuring uninterrupted full-color images and more accurate detection thanks to artificial intelligence. These improvements guarantee that our customers can rely on a technology that not only protects but also optimizes operational efficiency in any environment, says Haoran Zhang.

Applications in security and surveillance

• Enterprise and perimeter protection: Enhance surveillance in factories, warehouses, and offices with full-color images that facilitate the identification of intruders.
• Urban and traffic video surveillance: Enable the recognition of license plates, faces, and key details in nighttime environments, improving safety on streets and in public spaces.
• Residential security: Provide greater peace of mind to homes and communities with clear images and real-time alerts for any suspicious activity.

A new standard in video surveillance

With ColorVu 3.0, Hikvision ushers in a new era in video surveillance by combining 24-hour full-color imaging, artificial intelligence, and energy efficiency. These innovations reinforce security in any environment, providing more effective and reliable solutions for the present and the future.
