Over 70% of property crimes, break-ins, and industrial security breaches happen during low-light night hours. For decades, security cameras relied on black-and-white Infrared (IR) night vision. Today, full-color night vision technologies like CP PLUS Color+ / Guard+ and ColorVu have revolutionized forensic video evidence.
The Limitation of Traditional IR Surveillance
Infrared night vision illuminates a scene with invisible 850nm IR LEDs. While effective at producing an illuminated silhouette, it strips all color information. In forensic police investigations, knowing whether a getaway vehicle was dark blue, green, or black is crucial—a distinction impossible to make on black-and-white IR footage.
The Three Pillars of ColorVu Technology
- F1.0 Super Aperture: Captures 4 times more light than conventional F2.0 security camera lenses.
- Advanced High-Sensitivity Sensor: Utilizes backside-illuminated (BSI) sensor technology with ultra-low noise even at 0.0005 Lux.
- Warm Supplement Lighting: Non-glare, soft warm LED lights activate automatically in absolute zero-lux total darkness to preserve accurate color spectrums without blinding visitors.
ColorVu cameras are ideal for jewelry showrooms, residential gates, parking driveways, fuel stations, and public parks where color identification of clothing and license plates is essential.
