Say goodbye to limited color night vision, and experience the daytime view at night as well.

Story

Are you tired of dealing with security camera issues? Problems like the camera’s infrared lights exposing its location when you try to hide it outdoors, or being limited to black and white footage when checking videos at night? Even with spotlights or floodlights, you can only see objects in color at a short distance and miss out on what’s happening further away. To add to the frustration, the presence of infrared lights and spotlights attracts mosquitoes, resulting in countless false alerts.

We’ve received numerous complaints about these issues, which led us to ask: Can we achieve color night vision without relying on supplementary lighting? Introducing the KAWA T6 and T6 Pro security cameras, offering a different solution. With these cameras, you no longer need to activate additional lights for color night vision. What’s more, the color night vision isn’t limited to just a few meters—it provides a full-color view like daytime.

Take a look at the video below. Can you tell if it’s night or day? Can you guess the time?

Even if the most advanced sensors, lenses, and apertures, it is far from showing a shocking visual. It also requires a chip with exceptional data storage&processing capacity and sophisticated image algorithms for dynamic superimposition.

KAWA T6 pro is equipped with a quad-core CPU that can increase data processing capacity by four times. And the CPU is integrated with 2T GPU computing power, 4TOPs@INT4 NPU, and more importantly, AI-ISP.

What is AI-ISP?

AI-ISP, an AI-powered ISP (Image Signal Processing) algorithm, is a software solution that uses artificial intelligence (AI) techniques to improve the quality of images captured by digital cameras. The algorithm utilizes machine learning and computer vision technologies to perform various image processing tasks, such as noise reduction, color correction, exposure correction, and sharpening, in order to enhance the visual quality of the images.

An AI-powered ISP algorithm can analyze and optimize the images in real time, making adjustments based on factors such as lighting conditions. The goal of the algorithm is to produce images that are as visually appealing as possible, with accurate colors, high levels of detail, and minimal noise or artifacts.

Most security cameras with color night vision on the market are only equipped with traditional ISPs. KAWA is the first brand to apply AI-ISP to security cameras. Traditional ISPs are effective at processing images, but AI can take this to the next level. For instance, AI can help in noise reduction, improving the image’s clarity, especially under low-light conditions.

We are very confident in the true color night vision capability of KAWA T6 pro security cameras, and we welcome users to compare our products with other brands.
