See Everything, Even in Total Darkness – Introducing Hikvision’s New Hybrid 3.0 ColorVu Cameras
As security threats evolve, so do the technologies designed to protect what matters most. That’s why Hikvision’s new Hybrid 3.0 ColorVu cameras are a game-changer for both homes and businesses. Designed to provide crystal-clear, full-colour footage 24/7 — even in pitch-black environments — these cameras are now smarter, sharper, and more efficient than ever.
At NorthTech, we’re excited to introduce the latest in CCTV innovation and explain why Hybrid 3.0 ColorVu might just be the best upgrade you’ll make to your security system this year.
What Is ColorVu Technology?
Hikvision’s ColorVu technology was developed to tackle a major challenge in security: poor night-time image quality. Traditional cameras often rely on infrared to provide black-and-white images in low light, making it difficult to identify details such as faces, clothing colours, or vehicle information.
ColorVu cameras solve this by using:
- Advanced lenses with a wider aperture
- High-sensitivity sensors
- Built-in warm supplemental lighting
This means you get full-colour video 24/7, even in complete darkness — a massive advantage when reviewing footage for evidence or deterrence.
What’s New in Hybrid 3.0?
The Hybrid 3.0 range takes things even further, combining ColorVu and Smart Hybrid Light technology with advanced AI. Here’s what makes them a standout:
✅ Smart Hybrid Light Mode
The camera automatically switches between IR and warm white light depending on the scene — keeping power usage low and avoiding unnecessary glare for neighbours.
✅ AcuSense Technology
Now built-in, AcuSense AI filters out false alarms caused by animals, rain, or leaves. Instead, it focuses on humans and vehicles — so you only get alerts that matter.
✅ Higher Resolution
Options now include up to 4K Ultra HD clarity, offering more detail than ever before — perfect for identifying faces or number plates from further away.
✅ Efficient Storage & Bandwidth
With H.265+ compression, you can store more footage using less space, making these cameras ideal for residential or commercial systems with long retention needs.
