DarkFighter 2.0 is Hikvision’s technology that significantly enhances low-light image quality for security cameras. It uses a combination of advanced camera sensors, large apertures, and AI-driven image processing to capture sharp, colourful, and detailed video even in extremely low light conditions.

Key Features and Benefits:

• AI-powered low-light imaging:

DarkFighter 2.0 uses AI to process video and enhance image quality, making it more like human vision.

• Advanced sensors and apertures:

It incorporates large camera sensors (e.g., 1/1.8″) and ultra-large apertures (e.g., F1.0) to capture more light.

• Improved detail and colour reproduction:

The technology ensures that critical details are never compromised, even in near darkness, and that images retain lifelike colours.

• Enhanced dynamic range:

It uses Auto Wide Dynamic Range (AWDR) to prevent overexposure in bright areas while preserving details in dark areas.

• High frame rates:

DarkFighter 2.0 supports high frame rates (e.g., 4K at 60fps, 2MP at 120fps) to reduce blur and capture more detail in fast-moving scenes.

• SharpMotion and ShotN features:

These features further optimize performance by minimizing image noise and motion blur and enabling flexible exposure settings for capturing clear images of moving objects.

 

Why is it important?

• Security applications:

DarkFighter 2.0 is ideal for security cameras in areas where low light is a challenge, such as crossroads, parking lots, and other complex urban environments.

• 24/7 video capture:

It enables high-quality video capture in various lighting conditions, including those with ultra-low light, providing comprehensive coverage around the clock.

• Improved evidence:

The enhanced image quality allows for better identification and capture of details, making it easier to capture and analyse video evidence.
