Introduction
Smart Hybrid Light is Hikvision’s adaptive illumination technology that combines IR and warm white LEDs in the same camera. The camera automatically switches between invisible IR and visible white light based on the scene, providing the best of both worlds without manual configuration.
How It Works
In normal conditions, the camera uses IR illumination for covert, low-profile monitoring. When AcuSense detects a person or vehicle intrusion, the camera instantly switches to warm white LEDs—illuminating the scene for colour evidence capture and serving as a visual deterrent to the intruder.
Benefits of Adaptive Lighting
You no longer need to choose between covert IR and visible ColorVu at installation time. Smart Hybrid Light adapts in real time: invisible when nothing is happening, bright and colour-rich when it matters. This reduces light pollution during quiet hours while maximising evidence quality during events.
Comparison with Fixed Modes
IR-only cameras miss colour details. White-light-only cameras create constant illumination that may disturb neighbours. Smart Hybrid Light delivers colour footage on demand—the intelligent middle ground that suits residential, commercial, and mixed-use environments.
Available Models
Smart Hybrid Light is available across Hikvision’s latest Pro series cameras in bullet, turret, and dome form factors at 2 MP, 4 MP, 6 MP, and 8 MP resolutions. All models include AcuSense as the trigger mechanism.
FastEgy Recommendation
Smart Hybrid Light is our new default recommendation for outdoor installations. It provides the flexibility that single-mode cameras cannot match. Contact FastEgy for Smart Hybrid Light product information and pricing.
