Huawei’s Kunpeng brand has officially launched the Microlight Full-Color 2.0 Camera, model D2141-01-LV (3.6mm/6mm). This product addresses the pain points of traditional night vision cameras, such as poor low-light image quality, large storage footprint, and high operational costs. By upgrading hardware and leveraging HarmonyOS technology, it redefines the night vision security experience for SMEs and outdoor scenarios.
The camera utilizes an RGBW ultra-sensing sensor. Unlike traditional RGGB sensors, the new RGBW sensor includes a white pixel (W), which increases light intake by 75% compared to industry-standard solutions. This enhancement allows for true full-color images even in extremely low-light conditions, such as moonlight or weak streetlights, without the need for supplementary lighting. This effectively overcomes the common issues with traditional infrared cameras, which often result in blurred black-and-white images or overexposed, blown-out highlights due to excessive fill light.
Additionally, the camera is equipped with an F1.0 large aperture lens and high-transparency optical glass, further boosting its light-capturing capabilities. This enables clear visualization of distant details at night, such as the movements of people in outdoor parks or the products on shelves in supermarkets.
The product supports AI ISP image tuning, employing deep learning algorithms to optimize noise reduction and detail restoration. Compared to traditional cameras, this results in a 30% improvement in edge sharpness, leading to clearer text and identification marks. The AI motion and static judgment feature intelligently distinguishes between static scenes and moving objects like pedestrians and vehicles. By optimizing frame rates and exposure for moving areas independently, it prevents motion blur during rapid movements.
The camera automatically adapts to various light sources, such as the warm light of streetlamps or the cool light in supermarkets, accurately restoring the true colors of objects. This effectively resolves the issue of color casts (yellowish or bluish tints) often seen in traditional cameras at night.
The integration of HarmonyOS exclusive Super Encoding technology is a significant advantage. This technology intelligently analyzes the video content. Redundant data in static backgrounds (like walls or floors) is compressed, while crucial details in target objects (such as people or vehicles) are preserved in high definition. This advanced compression significantly reduces data volume without sacrificing essential visual information.
Real-world tests indicate that while maintaining equivalent image quality, the video bitrate is reduced by 60% compared to the industry-standard H.265 codec. This directly translates to a 60% reduction in storage space requirements, significantly lowering costs associated with purchasing and replacing hard drives during long-term operations. This cost-saving aspect is particularly attractive for businesses looking to optimize their surveillance infrastructure.
The camera can be seamlessly integrated into Huawei’s Kunpeng intelligent security ecosystem. Its ability to link with HarmonyOS routers, switches, and other devices allows for a simplified one-button deployment and disarming process. This capability is tailored to meet the lightweight operational demands of small and medium-sized enterprises.
