Hikvision upgrades Darkfighter night surveillance

Hikvision has upgraded its Darkfighter night surveillance technology with the DarkfighterX series, which it claims can provide colourful, sharp images down to the light levels of 0.001 lux. DarkfighterX cameras take brightness information from an IR sensor and that from a visible light sensor for colour, and combine them to provide a bright full-colour image. The DarkfighterX series includes a PTZ and bullet cameras - both come with optical defog, 25X optical zoom, 2MP resolution and smart detection.
