Hikvision Japan is set to sequentially roll out the "ColorVu 3.0 (Color View 3.0)" series, its next-generation security cameras that fuse proprietary AI image processing technology with high-performance hardware, to the Japanese market starting from April to June 2026, aiming to enhance security and monitoring environments at night for greater peace of mind and comfort.

This series achieves "high-definition video, AI detection, and two-way audio," approaching the capabilities of expensive IP systems while continuing to leverage existing analog coaxial cable environments. It records vivid, full-color images as if it were daytime, even in dark conditions at night, providing secure and safe monitoring environments across various scenes, including stores, parking lots, offices, and even coastal areas requiring salt-damage countermeasures.

Development Background: Overcoming Challenges of "Image Quality and Blurring" in Nighttime Security Measures

Many customers have reported issues with nighttime security camera footage, such as "difficulty distinguishing the faces or clothing colors of suspicious individuals due to darkness" and "blurry moving people or vehicles, making license plates unreadable (motion blur)." Furthermore, high-performance systems that solve these issues tend to have high initial導入 costs.

To address these challenges, HIKVISION developed the "ColorVu 3.0" series equipped with its proprietary AI image processing technology, "HIK AI-ISP." While maintaining an affordable price range, it significantly reduces noise and video blur, realizing clear full-color images day and night. This provides a more accurate and reliable monitoring environment 24/7.

Four Innovative Points Making "ColorVu 3.0" Cameras Stand Out

1. Thoroughly Eliminates Nighttime Graininess and Blur with Proprietary "HIK AI-ISP"

Unlike conventional image processing, the combination of an AI chip and ISP (Image Signal Processor) effectively removes the grainy noise often present in nighttime footage. Additionally, it effectively suppresses blur (motion blur) when detecting fast-moving people or vehicles at night, capturing critical moments with sharp clarity.

2. "F1.0 Ultra-Large Aperture Lens" Captures Even Faint Light

The lens, acting as the camera's eye, employs an "F1.0 Super Confocal Lens" capable of capturing a large amount of light. This allows it to produce bright, full-color images even in dark locations with only minimal light from sources like streetlights, without the need for dazzling auxiliary lighting.

3. Long-Lasting Durability in Coastal Areas with "Corrosion Resistant Design (Corrosion Resistant+)"

The "KV3T" model features a special "anti-rust aluminum material" that is resistant to corrosion and meets the stringent "NEMA 4X" durability standard. This prevents the camera body from rusting, even in coastal parking lots prone to salt damage from sea breezes or in outdoor environments exposed to rain and wind, ensuring stable operation over extended periods.

Comparison of ColorVu 2.0 and 3.0

ColorVu 3.0 evolves beyond the previous "bright imaging in darkness" capability to become a smarter and tougher camera, now featuring "AI-powered elimination of noise and blur, and enhanced rust resistance."
