With the development of the surveillance industry, the voice for effective monitoring in ultra-low light environments in various fields is growing stronger and stronger. Nighttime has always had the most potential for crimes, and the dark and unclear environment catalyzes criminal acts. Traditional IPCs cannot provide clear images at night, and even though the IR fill light technology can achieve clear images under low light, it results in black and white images without the important colour information.

Here’s where the LightHunter technology comes to play, solving the need for high-quality video surveillance 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

What is LightHunter Technology? 

In general, less light in the environment means the worse quality of images. In order to achieve higher quality images in a low-illumination environment, manufacturers often use a variety of methods to increase gain, including slower shutters or better lenses.

Behind the LightHunter technology, there are several technical cores, such as sensor, lens, U-ISP image processing technology, and hardware structure processing.

LightHunter is an innovative technology that allows for vivid colours, adequate brightness, and extremely clear images in ultra-low light. This technology enhances image brightness using the F1.2 Large Iris design and BSI sensor. These large sensors allow IPCs to have higher photosensitivity and feature high SNR. 

Uniview’s unique patented U-ISP technology enhances the sharpness and brightness of images and introduces a new generation of noise reduction technology that improves signal-to-noise ratio and reduces blurring. This allows for effectively reducing the blur during the movement of objects, which ensures that the image is similar to the real scene. Combining the advantages of both hardware and software, LightHunter ensures a colorful image even under the lowest lights. 

How Does LightHunter Technology Help Us? 

While IR fills light technology can achieve high resolution in low-light environments, color information may be lost and result in black and white images. However, LightHunter technology can provide superior color-related information that cannot be achieved with traditional cameras. This allows for more effective information about vehicles and suspects – such as the license plate number, color, suspect’s facial features, hair color, height, and clothing color which is useful to law enforcement. 

Uniview has devoted significant resources to research and development of this useful technology that provides unparalleled detail, brightness, and lifelike color, along with clear images in ultra-low light. 

What Are the Applications of LightHunter Technology? 

LightHunter Technology meets users’ surveillance needs for high-quality image effects 24 hours, every day of the week. Uniview LightHunter cameras can be used in schools, squares, parking lots, shopping malls, airports, hotels, hospitals, or any other low-light scenario. 

UNV LightHunter Cameras, the Best Choice for Ultra-Low Light Environments

In terms of hardware, UNV LightHunter IPCs enhance the brightness of the images in a low-illumination environment by increasing the sensor target surface, sensor photosensitivity, lens aperture, and transmittance and optimizing the hardware structure. In terms of software, UNV LightHunter IPCs guarantee image quality in a low-illumination environment by using intelligent U-ISP technology. With the support of both the software and hardware technologies, UNV LightHunter IPCs are the most competitive products to meet the monitoring requirement in a low-illumination environment.
