Smart Hybrid Cameras

Smart Hybrid Light is HiLook and Hikvision's intelligent night vision technology that combines IR and white light in a single camera. In standard mode the camera operates discreetly in IR (black and white) at night. As soon as it detects a person or vehicle, it triggers the white light to capture the event in full colour - giving you the best possible evidence without unnecessary light pollution the rest of the time.

This means you get the deterrent and evidence quality of full colour footage exactly when it matters, while avoiding the constant glow of a ColourVu camera when nothing is happening. Available in turret and bullet styles with resolutions from 4MP up to 8MP 4K from HiLook and Hikvision.

For a full comparison of night vision types - IR, ColourVu, Smart Hybrid Light, and Colour Night Vision - see our night vision guide or our CCTV buyers guide.

Smart Hybrid vs ColourVu - Which Should You Choose?

If you specifically want full colour images 24 hours a day regardless of lighting conditions, ColourVu cameras are the better choice - they use a white light supplement that is always active in darkness. Smart Hybrid Light adapts to conditions and is a more versatile option for most residential and commercial installations.

All Smart Hybrid Light cameras are IP PoE and compatible with Hik-Connect for remote viewing. They work with any HiLook or Hikvision NVR in our range. Browse IP CCTV systems for matched kits.
