VIVOTEK has officially introduced its latest Chroma24 AI camera series, marking a significant step forward in nighttime surveillance technology. Designed for continuous 24/7 operation, Chroma24 focuses on delivering true color imaging and precise visual details even in extremely low-light environments. By combining advanced image sensors, optimized lenses, and AI-enhanced processing, the cameras are able to capture clear nighttime footage without relying on infrared or white-light illumination.
Unlike traditional security cameras that switch to grainy black-and-white images after dark, Chroma24 maintains stable color reproduction with minimal noise. This capability allows security teams to identify clothing colors, vehicles, and other critical visual details more accurately. The elimination of supplemental lighting not only reduces energy consumption but also ensures a quieter and more unobtrusive surveillance presence, particularly important for sensitive or environmentally conscious sites.
True Color Imaging in Extreme Low-Light Conditions
At the core of the Chroma24 series is an imaging system engineered for nighttime clarity. Even under near-dark conditions, the camera produces full-color visuals with high sharpness and balanced exposure. Motion blur and ghosting are actively suppressed in dynamic scenes, ensuring moving subjects remain clearly identifiable. This makes Chroma24 particularly effective in locations where activity continues after sunset.
Edge AI for Smarter Visual Analysis
Chroma24 integrates Edge AI processing to enhance both image quality and search efficiency. With built-in analytics and Deep Search functionality, users can quickly locate events based on color, personal attributes, or vehicle characteristics. These capabilities remain effective at night, significantly reducing the time and manpower required to review footage across large camera networks.
Wide Dynamic Range and Scene Stability
To handle complex lighting scenarios, the cameras feature WDR Pro technology that balances bright highlights and dark shadows in the same frame. This ensures consistent detail visibility in environments with uneven lighting, such as industrial facilities or open outdoor spaces. The result is a more reliable visual record for both real-time monitoring and forensic review.
Cloud Integration and Scalable Deployment
Chroma24 is designed to work seamlessly with hybrid cloud environments and integrates with the VORTEX cloud surveillance platform. Through this system, users can access real-time video, event management, and remote patrol features. The generative “Think Search” function allows text-based searches across multiple cameras, further improving operational efficiency. Additional details are available directly from VIVOTEK.
Initially launching in mid-range dome camera models, the Chroma24 series is expected to expand into additional form factors to support diverse deployment needs. VIVOTEK notes that pricing and regional availability will vary by market, with broader lineup availability planned as the series continues to grow.
