QED distributes Uniview, one of the world’s leading manufacturer of video surveillance products and solutions including the PRIME Ⅱ series.

One of the main features is the Colourhunter technology –  you can literally see in the dark! When you combine Colourhunter technology and 4MP camera resolution you achieve outstanding image quality at low light.

Day & Night images in Colour

All products in the PRIME Ⅱ series deliver 4MP@30fps high resolution and support 120dB WDR. This provides superb high-quality image in the daytime. Meanwhile, empowered by Uniview Colourhunter technology, you see colourful and sharp images even at the lowest light conditions. The cameras also support U-code smart code which enhances bandwidth performance and lowers the data storage requirements.

Compared to the normal sensor, these new products are equipped with the BSI (backside illumination) CMOS sensor, which increases the light utilisation. As we know, the more light that enters into sensor, the brighter image an IP camera can produce. The vari-focal IP cameras come with built-in F1.35 iris lens to raise the brightness level. In addition to this, the built-in high transmitted lens improves the light transmittance up to 36%. In summary, you will receive a clear, sharp full colour image even in very low light conditions.

Colourhunter

Recently high resolution has become the trend of video surveillance. However, as we all know, with the increase of pixels, the light-sensing area of each pixel decreases with the same size of sensor. However, Uniview’s new generation of Lighthunter products include 4MP IP cameras, enabling higher resolution with excellent colourful images in ultra-low light.

Star Products:

UNV 4MP Colourhunter products are available in a bullet, IK10 dome and turret design and each of them contains fixed and vari-focal IP cameras. All of them support Waterproof IP67, the vari-focal cameras are also with built-in F1.35 iris to ensure the image colourful in ultra-low light. The motorised lens is customised from 2.7 to 13.5mm.
