ColorVu 3.0: Hikvisions all new AI-powered colour night vision
13/03/2025 Neil Levett 24
Introducing ColorVu 3.0, Hikvision's all new AI-powered night vision cameras, which elevate video security to unprecedented levels, delivering improved image quality, more intelligent functions, better audio capabilities, and enhanced product design and materials. All ColorVu 3.0 cameras feature smart hybrid light technology which integrates Infrared and white lights to give the best of both worlds, providing colour night-time images
The new camera range features significant upgrades in four key aspects, each designed to enhance user experience and security performance. ColorVu 3.0, AcuSense 3.0, Audio 2.0 and Corrosion Resistant 2.0.
ColorVu 3.0: AI-powered night vision hits new heights
ColorVu 3.0 incorporates Hikvision’s cutting-edge AI image processing technology, HikAI-ISP. This enhances both dynamic clarity and static detail through AI-driven noise reduction and dynamic motion trail minimization, resulting in exceptional image quality even in low-light environments.
This improvement is made possible by HikAI-ISP's ability to process vast amounts of data for deep learning, enabling it to automatically acquire far more parameters than traditional ISPs. This allows for highly precise image restoration, enhancing every detail.
Additionally, ColorVu 3.0 features 3D LUT technology, which ensures accurate colour correction and fine-tuned colour matching. Beyond boosting brightness, it also faithfully restores the true colours of the scene.

AI WDR
Hikvision has introduced the innovative AI WDR (Wide Dynamic Range) in its ColorVu 3.0 range, allowing both the bright and dark areas of an image to be blended naturally. Bright areas are not overexposed, while details in dark areas are not lost. In addition, the AI WDR enables the device to determine whether to automatically turn on or off WDR according to the brightness of the environment, without the need for manual adjustments.
AcuSense 3.0
Hikvision AcuSense 3.0 advanced video surveillance technology combines AI and deep learning algorithms to deliver smarter, more accurate security monitoring. This innovative system enhances the detection and classification of objects and events, significantly reducing false alarms and improving operational efficiency.
The dual algorithm upgrades in AcuSense 3.0 greatly improve the accuracy rate while effectively reducing the false alarms caused by lights hitting stationary cars at night and reacting to the true source of the event notification.
AcuSearch
With Hikvision's new AcuSearch feature, users can enjoy faster and more accurate video searches during playback. This innovative search capability allows users to focus on specific targets of interest with just one click, improving overall search efficiency. ‘Smart Search’ settings allow users to draw rule boxes or intrusion lines at the location of an event to quickly filter and easily identify targets entering a particular area. The ‘Slice Playback’ function enhances video retrieval still further by enabling users to visually locate the segments they want to replay. These features work together to improve overall search efficiency, helping users to quickly and easily find the information they need.
Audio 2.0: Crystal-clear audio with intelligence
In addition to upgrading image and intelligence, the Network Cameras with ColorVu 3.0 also bring users a new audio experience. The Audio 2.0 provides better sound reception and speaker effects. The arrayed dual-mic design ensures excellent noise reduction, delivering enhanced vocal clarity and improving overall audio quality. The integration of a Smart PA Speaker extends sound coverage, amplifying the warning effects of alerts and facilitating greater two-way audio communication. With Audio 2.0 the cameras can better adapt to larger and more complex scenarios which have higher audio requirements.
Corrosion Resistant +
Corrosion is a pervasive challenge that can affect the daily use of electronic devices and the operation of industrial machinery. By developing the next generation of anti-corrosion cameras, Hikvision provides more options for users in different industries to meet their security needs in corrosive environments. These anti-corrosion cameras excel where conventional security cameras can easily fail or have a shortened lifespan.
With advanced anti-corrosion technology and design, these outdoor cameras ensure longevity and optimal performance, extending their utility to seaside or industrial settings.
