Because the team only has one Darkfighter bullet – the one in the cloth-swathed box – I don’t get to see this camera – instead I get some images of the Darkfighter X pendant PTZ, which is a handsome half stainless and half poly unit that looks as though it would be at home in applications as rugged as they come. The demo on the stand has 3 cameras setup – the new Darkfighter X bullet, the current Darkfighter and another Hikvision camera.
According to Hikvision, Darkfighter X technology can provide colourful, sharp images down at 0.001 lux – that’s half starlight. In the case of Darkfighter X, the camera takes information from an IR sensor (for brightness) and a visible light sensor (colour) and combines them to provide a bright image in full colour without blur or extremes of noise. These are then merged within the brain to create an enhanced composite image. At the heart of this technology is what I am going to describe as a new camera engine though I may be going too far – I’ve not seen a white paper on the technology and the camera is so new the local Hikvision team doesn’t know all there is to know about the camera yet.Īccording to Hikvision, Darkfighter-X delivers the best possible colour images in low light by employing techniques used by human eyes, which use different groups of cells to collect signals generated by the reflections of colour and brightness from surfaces in the scene being viewed.
If what we saw on the Hikvision stand at Security 2017 was anything to go by, then this camera might take the market to another level.ĭARKFIGHTER X is available in 2 form factors on release – a standard box camera for indoor applications, or external applications when installed in a suitable housing, and an attractive and rugged-looking PTZ dome.
HIKVISION DARKFIGHTER WHITEPAPER 1080P
Darkfighter X is a new 2MP 1080p surveillance camera range from Hikvision that features a new sensor design that allows much improved low light performance in colour.
