Hikvision announces that its new Turbo HD 4.0 range, which boasts ultra-low light performance and the ability to send power as well as 8MP video images over conventional coaxial cable, will be available from Q3 2017.

The latest-generation Turbo 4.0 products also take advantage of Hikvision’s new H.265+ video compression technology, which provides savings on both bandwidth usage and storage requirements.

8MP Performance, Power over Coax Convenience
The first Turbo 4.0 products to hit the market include 8 megapixel box and varifocal bullet cameras, and DVRs with 4K UHD HDMI outputs. The 8MP cameras offer one of the highest resolutions available in an analog surveillance system. Models equipped with Hikvision-patented Power over Coax 2.0 (PoC) capabilities also allow users to transmit both UHD video and power over the same coaxial cable, for faster, simpler and less expensive installations using existing infrastructure. As with previous Hikvision Turbo ranges, IP, analog, Turbo HD, and third-party AHD cameras are all supported, providing a flexible upgrade path. The result is a very high performance for the end user allied with cost-effective installation.

Ultra-Low Light Capabilities
The new Turbo 4.0 range brings Hikvision’s renowned Darkfighter ultra-low light recording capabilities to cameras using coaxial cable for the first time. With Hikvision’s unique low light technology, these cameras provide sharp, full-colour video images with as little light as 0.001 lux. The first models in the Turbo 4.0 range with Darkfighter as standard are 1080p models in the D9T series.
