ColorVu
F1.0 apertures and warm supplemental light keep footage in vivid colour all night — the benchmark for identifying clothing and vehicle colours on driveways, doorways and shopfronts.
SatFocus Security Solutions supplies and installs Hikvision CCTV for homes, businesses and trade installers — ColorVu 24/7 colour night vision, AcuSense AI detection, Turbo HD analogue upgrades and full 4K IP systems. Over 3,000 installations since 2015, covering every London borough plus Hertfordshire, Buckinghamshire, Berkshire, Surrey, Essex and Kent.
SatFocus Security Solutions is a Hikvision CCTV supplier and installer serving London and the Home Counties. We supply Hikvision and HiLook cameras, recorders and complete kits at trade pricing, and provide full design, installation and commissioning with a 12-month workmanship warranty. Hikvision is the world's largest video surveillance manufacturer, and its ColorVu range is the benchmark for 24/7 colour night vision.
Whether you're a trade installer sourcing Hikvision hardware or a home or business owner who wants the whole job handled, we cover both sides.
Competitive supply of the Hikvision and HiLook catalogue to installers, integrators, electricians and facilities teams across London and the Home Counties.
Full-service Hikvision installation: free site survey, camera placement design, tidy first-fix cabling, commissioning, app setup and demonstration.
The world's biggest CCTV catalogue. These are the Hikvision ranges we specify daily across London projects.
F1.0 apertures and warm supplemental light keep footage in vivid colour all night — the benchmark for identifying clothing and vehicle colours on driveways, doorways and shopfronts.
Human and vehicle classification at the edge, filtering out false alarms from foxes, foliage and headlights — with smart search that finds a person or vehicle in hours of footage in seconds.
Starlight-class sensors for detailed colour imaging in near darkness without visible lighting — specified for car parks, yards and discreet perimeter coverage.
Up to 3K/5MP resolution over your existing coax cabling. The fastest, most cost-effective way to modernise an older analogue system — new picture quality, app viewing, no re-wire.
Hikvision's budget line for rentals, small shops and cost-driven residential jobs — same Hik-Connect ecosystem, sensible spec, keen pricing.
DS-76/77-series AI NVRs with smart search and perimeter analytics, scaling up to HikCentral VMS for multi-site businesses with centralised monitoring.
Every job is quoted individually after a free survey, but these installed guide prices reflect real recent SatFocus projects.

| Hikvision | UNV (Uniview) | Dahua | |
|---|---|---|---|
| 24/7 colour tech | ColorVu — the benchmark | ColorHunter — excellent | Full-Color — very good |

| 4K value | Premium priced | Best £-per-megapixel | Competitive |
| Mobile app | Hik-Connect — most refined | EZView — clean, reliable | DMSS |
| Best fit | Flagship residential, colour night vision, coax upgrades | 4K IP value, commercial AI | Budget-to-mid projects |
Our verdict: for a home where colour night vision is the priority, Hikvision ColorVu is still the one to beat — and Turbo HD makes it the easiest brand to retrofit over existing coax. For a specific site, ask us — we'll recommend the right fit, not the biggest invoice. Also see our UNV CCTV supplier & installer page.
