Hikvision DarkFighter

What’s the Challenge

Most security incidents happen at night. Of all known crimes, 70% happen under the cover of darkness. Information about suspects  such as facial features, height, and clothing  and vehicles  license plate number, color, type  are all crucial forensic evidence. In low-light environments, however, these critical details can be easily missed by conventional cameras. Infrared does improve image sharpness on conventional cameras, but it cannot provide color reproduction.

A solution to the Problems

Hikvision has dedicated years of research & development efforts to image processing in varied low-light environments.

In 2013, Hikvision launched cameras with DarkFighter technology, featuring a larger sensor and a larger aperture. Only four years later, Hikvision set the industry benchmark with DarkFighterX highlighted by an innovative dual-sensor design. Based on the process human eyes use to perceive color and brightness, it employs two sensors  one for IR imaging, guaranteeing brightness and sharpness, and the other for visible light, guaranteeing vivid color reproduction. These signals are then combined into ONE BRIGHT, FULL-COLOR image.

DarkFighterX Technology enables unparalleled brightness and vivid color, along with amazingly sharp, clear images in ultra-low light.

Note: Although with extreme light sensitivity, DarkFighterX still needs ambient light such as moonlight to function.

Where You Can Apply It 

DarkFighterX can be used in a wide range of security scenarios, such as streets, railways, ports, squares, waterfronts, parks and forests, and anywhere colorful, high-definition images are needed around the clock.
