Color VU Technology

Hikvision ColorVu Technology

With the new ColorVu Technology, Turbo HD cameras with ColorVu render clear images at 0.0005 lux, providing critical surveillance in ultra low-light scenarios. With this technology, cameras can now provide round-the-clock vivid color imaging.

When it comes to ensuring security and safety, seeing every detail is critical – especially in low light conditions.

Hikvision’s industry-leading ColorVu technology captures high-quality, full-color video 24/7 which enables businesses and homeowners to protect people and property at night with the same sharp rendering as in daylight.

For a broad range of security scenarios, ColorVu technology empowers a diverse set of products and solutions to meet users’ growing needs. Read on to learn more. 

The whole scene in vivid color
Hikvision’s ColorVu cameras with ColorVu harness pioneering pixel-level image registration technology with Hikvision’s image fusion algorithm to stitch together a Wide horizontal field of view, delivering brilliant and seamless panoramas with more lively details. Wide-area security footage helps improve situational awareness and reduces the number of cameras required for comprehensive monitoring, aiding cost efficiency.

Zoom in with vivid color
Varifocal cameras adapt to various scenarios by changing the camera’s focal length. Hikvision’s Varifocal Cameras with ColorVu are designed with a large, fixed F1.0 aperture, which guarantees image brightness while the camera zooms in or out.


Capture richer, more colorful details
ColorVu-enabled cameras render vivid color images in dim light, even down to 0.0005 lux – that’s the same lighting as a moonless, starlit night. This incredible capability to intensify minimal ambient light is achieved through two advanced features:

• F1.0 Super Aperture – Capturing as much light as possible for the sensor
• 1/1.2” Large Sensor – Maximizing the use of available light
