The all-in-one Panoramic Series cameras that make up the Hikvision PanoVu family of products can capture excellent panoramic images as well as close-up images to give consideration to both a panorama and detail.
Traditionally, coverage for 360-degree panoramic video application required the installation of four cameras or a fisheye camera. Now, one Hikvision PanoVu flexible camera can replace four standard cameras. In addition, it provides ease of installation and costs savings using a single mounting with one Ethernet cable.
Cameras are available with 180-degree or 360-degree fields of view with flexible, mini, and dual-directional options . These include:
Panoramic Stitched 180°/360° Series
Full 180-degree view stitched together with up to 32 MP resolution. Popular uses are parking lots, entrances, or other “no dead zone” applications with 40x optical zoom PTZ.
Flexible Series
Track design that allows four individual sensor gimbals to be independently placed. Popular uses include hallway intersections, providing a 270-degree view at a building corner, or any application that requires 360-degree coverage.

Hikvision Ultra Series (Smart IP)
Combining DarkFighter low-light technology and up to 4K high-definition quality, Hikvision Ultra Series can easily meet the requirements of enterprise projects with reliable high performance.
The Hikvision Ultra Series SmartIP camera range includes box, dome, turret and bullet models. The range is packed with options that include Acusense Technology intelligence, strobe lighting, two way audio and varifocal lenses.
Hikvision has dedicated years of research & development efforts to image processing in varied low-light environments.
In 2013, Hikvision launched cameras with DarkFighter technology, featuring a larger sensor and a larger aperture. Only four years later, Hikvision set the industry benchmark with DarkFighterX highlighted by an innovative dual-sensor design. Based on the process human eyes use to perceive colour and brightness, it employs two sensors — one for IR imaging, guaranteeing brightness and sharpness, the other for visible light, guaranteeing vivid colour reproduction. These signals are then combined into ONE BRIGHT, FULL-COLOR image.
HIKVISION SOLAR POWERED STAND ALONE SECURITY STATION
The EXIR Fixed Bullet Solar Power 4G Network Camera is a standalone security station that perfectly suits areas where other power supplies and ethernet cables cannot reach, but demand robust performance.
When permanently installed, it can allow 24/7 monitoring at power transmission facilities, rivers and canals, and farms and forests. This system can also be used in temporary installations such as road maintenance sites, construction sites and more.
Hikvision is dedicated to creating professional protection solutions for the mass market. The HeatPro Series of thermal cameras does just that, boasting accurate perimeter protection and fire detection with superlative sensitivity.
Featuring deep-learning video analytics in all weather and light conditions, these cameras hit the target in both cost and performance for a variety of residential, commercial and industrial applications. Thermal cameras sense an object’s heat radiation, capturing images 24/7, regardless of environmental factors such as darkness, lowlight, strong backlight, etc.
With thermal cameras, users can easily locate objects and potential threats that are invisible to conventional optical cameras. Thermal cameras don’t emit visible light, which is ideal for concealing their presence and position when they need to remain hidden.
As well as offering intelligent perimeter protection, thermal cameras can be particularly beneficial for early warning fire detection as well as temperature monitoring for increased safety and improved operational efficiencies.
