Faces and vehicles all reduce to relative brightness. ColorVu 3.0 uses an f\/1.0 aperture (8× the light of an f\/2.8) combined with a more sensitive sensor and onboard image processing to produce full colour footage in 0.0005 lux — effectively darker than moonlight. The 3.0 generation adds a white-light supplement that fires only on motion, so you get colour identification without the camera glowing all night.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat's in the box, and why each piece is there\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e6 × Hikvision DS-2CD2387G3-LIS2UY-SL 8MP 4K ColorVu 3.0 Turret cameras\u003c\/strong\u003e — 3840×2160 (4K) at 30 fps, f\/1.0 aperture, ColorVu 3.0 full-colour 24\/7 down to 0.0005 lux, 30 m IR backup, white-light strobe + siren, two-way audio (mic + speaker), AcuSense AI human\/vehicle classification, 130 dB WDR, IP67.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e1 × Hikvision DS-7608NI-M2\/8P 8-channel Ultra-series NVR\u003c\/strong\u003e — 8 PoE ports built-in, 128 Mbps bandwidth, 2× SATA bays for BYO HDD up to 16 TB, AcuSense-aware features, HDMI 4K + VGA output.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e1 × Hikvision DS-UPS1000-AU 1000 VA \/ 600 W UPS\u003c\/strong\u003e — Line-interactive UPS with Automatic Voltage Regulation. ~60–90 min at the system's ~108 W draw.

ColorVu cameras pull more than IR-only cameras, so the UPS is sized to keep the system recording through a typical distribution outage. Worth it if (a) you've had power cuts at this site, (b) the property is brownout-prone, or (c) the cost of losing colour footage during a power event is high (insurance claims, fuel theft, after-hours intrusion).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere ColorVu earns its money\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eInsurance claim where the police need to identify the make and colour of a vehicle that drove past at 1 am. A burglary where the description rises or falls on the colour of the offender's hoodie. A workplace incident in a low-light loading area. In all of these, an IR-only system has the resolution to identify the event but not enough chroma to identify the person or vehicle. ColorVu fills that gap.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCamera resolution\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e8 MP \/ 4K (3840 × 2160), 30 fps, H.265+\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eField of view\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHorizontal 108.8° \/ Vertical 56.4° \/ Diagonal 134.3°\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNight vision\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eColorVu 3.0 full-colour 24\/7 + 30 m IR backup\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAperture\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ef\/1.0\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAI\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAcuSense human\/vehicle classification\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDeterrence\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWhite-light strobe + siren\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAudio\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTwo-way\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWDR\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e130 dB\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeather rating\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIP67\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNVR\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHikvision DS-7608NI-M2\/8P 8-channel Ultra-series NVR\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNVR channels\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e8 (6 used, 2 spare)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRecommended HDD\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSeagate SkyHawk AI 10 TB (ST10000VE001, $811.99)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPS runtime\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e~60–90 min at the system's ~108 W draw\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWarranty\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e36 months — Australian Hikvision warranty\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch3\u003eYou'll need to supply\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSurveillance-grade HDD — recommended: Seagate SkyHawk AI 10 TB (ST10000VE001, $811.99).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCat6 ethernet from NVR to each camera — we stock the Hikvision Cat6 305m spool (DS-1LN6UZC0-BLUE) and StarTech Cat6 RJ45 plugs (CRJ45C6SOL50).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMonitor for local NVR viewing.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInternet router for Hik-Connect remote access.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDrill + masonry bits for camera mounting.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSaving vs buying separately\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt list, the components total $3647.92.
