VIVOTEK has unveiled its new Chroma24 AI camera series at ISC West 2026, a prominent security industry event in Las Vegas.
The cameras, set to be available by mid-2026, promise to enhance security with their capability of capturing true-color images 24/7, regardless of lighting conditions.
This innovation marks a significant step in ensuring clarity and detail in both day and night security footage.
Advanced Low-Light Imaging
According to Diro Fanchiang, Director of Product Planning at VIVOTEK, Chroma24 cameras incorporate sophisticated imaging technologies that merge upgraded lenses and sensors with AI enhancements.
"Chroma24 ensures clear visibility and accurate details at night, allowing rapid identification of critical details," Fanchiang explained. The cameras eliminate the need for infrared or white-light illumination, offering unobtrusive protection that minimizes environmental impact and reduces power use.
Key Features and Benefits
Chroma24 cameras overcome the typical shortcomings of nighttime surveillance by providing vivid, low-noise images even in minimally lit conditions. Motion blur and ghosting are mitigated in dynamic scenes, while Wide Dynamic Range (WDR Pro) technology balances illumination levels in captured footage.
The integrated Deep Search feature allows users to locate footage based on specific attributes like color or identity, streamlining the search process and reducing resource expenditure.
Versatile Deployment Capabilities
Hybrid cloud and VORTEX integration enable real-time video management and remote accessThese cameras are ideal for areas requiring extensive coverage and continuous monitoring, including parks, campuses, infrastructure sites, and warehouses. By minimizing the need for physical patrols, they enhance efficiency and operational effectiveness.
Furthermore, support for hybrid cloud integration and connection with VIVOTEK's VORTEX cloud platform facilitates real-time video management and remote access. The incorporation of "Think Search," a generative AI tool, allows users to easily gather footage across multiple devices.
Expanding Product Line and Future Developments
The Chroma24 AI cameras initially focus on mid-range turret models, with plans to expand into a broader range of products. This strategic development aims to provide comprehensive solutions that address varied security scenarios.
VIVOTEK leverages its long-standing expertise to cater to increasing demands for intelligent security systems, emphasizing clear imaging, AI-driven computing, and sustainable design.
VIVOTEK's Integrated VSaaS Platform
The VORTEX platform acts as a hybrid-cloud Video Surveillance as a Service (VSaaS), combining AI-enhanced cameras, advanced edge computing, and robust cloud storage.
The system supports real-time analysis, remote monitoring, and sophisticated search capabilities through mobile or web platforms, complementing existing hardware with flexible cloud integration options.
VIVOTEK, the foremost global security solutions provider, is proud to announce the launch of the new Chroma24 low-light full color AI camera series during ISC West 2026, held in Las Vegas, Nev. from March 25-27 at the Venetian Expo and Convention Center, booth #22043.
Scheduled for availability mid-2026, Chroma24 redefines security with 24/7 true-color imaging and unmatched clarity, so every detail counts – day or night.
Expert opinion
“In extremely low-light nighttime environments, Chroma24 features advanced imaging, combining comprehensive upgrades to lenses and image sensors with AI-enhanced imaging technology to deliver clear, stable, full-color images, without the need for infrared or white-light illumination,” explained Diro Fanchiang, Director of the Product Planning Division at VIVOTEK.
“Chroma24 ensures clear visibility and accurate details at night, allowing rapid identification of critical details. By eliminating the need for supplemental lighting, this solution provides quiet, unobtrusive protection while also reducing power consumption and minimizing impact on people, ecosystems, and the environment.”
Benefits and features
Chroma24 breaks through the limitations of traditional surveillance equipment that typically delivers only black-and-white, blurry images at night. Even in low-light conditions, it outputs clear images with true color and extremely low noise, ensuring sharp details in nighttime footage.
In dynamic scenes, the system suppresses motion blur and ghosting, while Wide Dynamic Range technology (WDR Pro) balances bright and dark areas. Combined with Deep Search functionality, users can quickly locate key footage by color, person, or vehicle attributes, whether during the day or at night, significantly reducing manpower and time costs.
Suitable environments
Chroma24 is well suited for environments with insufficient lighting, large coverage areas, or round-the-clock security needs, such as parks, campuses, suburban roads, and critical infrastructure, including factories, warehouses, energy storage facilities, and solar power plants. It reduces the need for manual patrols while improving operational efficiency.
The solution also supports hybrid cloud deployment and integration with the VORTEX cloud platform, offering real-time video, event management, and remote patrol capabilities. With VORTEX's generative AI "Think Search", users can simply enter text to quickly retrieve nighttime footage of individuals across multiple cameras.
Currently, Chroma24 is first being introduced in mid-range turret camera models. The series will gradually expand to additional product lines in the future, forming a comprehensive portfolio to meet diverse application scenarios.
