Hikvision India has introduced traffic cameras featuring DarkFighterX to combat urban light pollution. Traffic cameras fitted with DarkFighterX, Hikvision’s ultra-low-light video imaging technology, combine these three approaches to combat light pollution effectively. They are designed to sense both visible and invisible light, reducing the need for blinding flashes. This scales down the number of LEDs used in the flash – merely four LED beads suffice where once many were needed. What’s more, incorporating an LED lattice significantly diminishes stray light, so that the intensity that escapes beyond the camera’s focus is effectively eliminated. In addition, the DarkFighterX technology features deep learning algorithms to enhance the image quality in Hikvision cameras. It effectively addresses common issues such as color bias, resulting in improved color reproduction. Furthermore, this technology helps to solve the problem of headlight halo effects, ensuring that the captured images are more accurate and realistic. The significance of this is that it not only greatly enhances the efficiency of traffic violation enforcement, but it also reduces the camera’s need for high ambient light levels to achieve high-quality imaging in urban environments. “Hikvision’s innovative traffic cameras have already been successfully implemented in many countries and these cameras are helpful in Indian environment too,” said Ashish P. Dhakan, MD & CEO, Prama Hikvision India Private Limited, “Given the increasing global emphasis on sustainable living, mitigating urban light pollution through advanced technology like Hikvision’s traffic cameras is not only an immediate solution but also a future trend.” Managing the urban environment has always been about making progress and then dealing with the new that it inevitably creates. One of the latest challenges is the glare which is created by the guardians of our intersections – traffic cameras. Although they help detect violations and ensure road safety, this unintended glare also poses risks to drivers and residents. This blog explores the solutions to this problem. For drivers, the bright flashes of traffic cameras operate like a double-edged sword – intended for safety but sometimes resulting in the exact opposite. According to the US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA)’s Traffic Safety Facts Report, in 2020, glare contributed to approximately 2.8% of road accidents. Intense bursts of sudden, unexpected supplemental light can obstruct drivers’ vision at crucial moments, especially when they are navigating complex urban roads at night. For city dwellers, these intrusive flashes enter through their windows, disrupting sleep patterns and affecting their quality of life. Excessive lighting also disrupts wildlife behavior and impacts the natural rhythms of the environment. A study published in the journal Science Advances, estimated that artificial skyglow resulting from outdoor lighting, including traffic camera lights, has increased at a rate of 2.2% per year. In order to combat light pollution, progressive cities such as Barcelona, London, Oslo, and San Diego, are adopting smart streetlights that dim when not needed. Motion sensors are employed to provide light only when necessary and shielded lighting is being implemented to focus light where it’s required, minimizing spillage into surrounding areas. But what about the traffic cameras that need to operate around the clock? Engineers and urban designers have been working on developing cameras that emit less light while still capturing clear images. Here are a few approaches they are taking: Shielding and directed lighting One method involves installing shields around traffic cameras and using directed lighting techniques. This helps to focus the light only on the required areas while minimizing light pollution in other directions. The problem with this approach, however, is that these modifications require significant up-front investment and ongoing maintenance, which, understandably, is causing many urban areas to hesitate. Cameras with invisible light sensors Another approach involves the use of invisible light sensors, which significantly reduce the reliance on blinding flashes for successful imaging. Traffic cameras with this technology can operate within the non-visible spectrum. They effectively capture images without the intense bursts of light that pierce the night. This approach is particularly effective in areas with high levels of light pollution, where it is important to minimize the additional impact of traffic camera lights. The utilization of AI-ISP techniques With the latest camera technologies, artificial intelligence algorithms have been combined with image signal processing (AI-ISP) techniques to effectively handle color inconsistencies in images. By utilizing mathematical modeling and direct restoration of the information from the sensor input, deep learning image enhancement algorithms can capture color-accurate, high-definition images even in extremely low-light conditions. This diminishes the need for relying solely on environmental brightness and supplemental lights such as bright flashes. As a result, the efficiency of traffic cameras gets increased whilst their environmental impact is reduced. Hikvision’s traffic cameras with DarkFighterX Given the increasing global emphasis on sustainable living, mitigating urban light pollution through advanced technology like Hikvision’s traffic cameras is not only an immediate solution but also a future trend.

The Quarter 3 ASIS Delhi Chapter Meet was held on 18 July this year at Wipro Limited’s Gurugram office. Led by Harvindra Singh, Chairman – ASIS International (Delhi Chapter), it was nothing short of magnificent – a splendid spectacle of meticulous organization and flawless execution. The enthusiastic reception from all attendees was palpable, and the sheer volume of participants was overwhelming. The event saw a footfall of over 120. The principal sponsor for this event was Wipro Limited. Their generosity extended beyond providing the venue; they graciously hosted a lavish lunch and presented each participant with a delightful gift bag. Col A. L. Suresh, Head Function – Tech COE Physical Security Systems, Wipro delivered the keynote address on ‘Setting up a Center for Excellence for Physical Security Systems and Operational Technology’ that was extremely engaging and insightful. He dwelled on various insights by initially pointing out that the purpose of a Center of Excellence (COE) included tech management, exploring new tech, IoT security, trends and threats and aspects special to organizations. A fireside chat was effected between Umesh Kumar – VP of Physical Security, Risk & Control at NatWest Group, and Capt. Sanjay Sharma, Global Security Head – Wipro Limited. Pertinent and some tricky questions were raised regarding the future of corporate security. Most memorable was when Mr. Kumar gave an option to Capt. Sharma to choose between Artificial Intelligence and Human Intelligence. Capt. Sharma dodged that googly and explained why a combination of both was necessary. A takeaway from this fireside chat was that smart technology is growing ahead with time. It is a financially well-informed practice closely aligned with business. Both Col Suresh and Capt. Sharma spoke about the problem of deepfakes when trends and threats were discussed and how there is no structured response to this problem as of now. A workshop by young professionals from Inquest Advisories Niharika Karamchandani and Tanya Vatsa was aptly called ‘Resilience Reboot’ as it led to everyone putting their thinking caps on to deal with three different kinds of incidents – a ransomware attack at a global tech company, a fire incident at a warehouse, and a lockdown situation due to a pandemic. The audience became privy to the CSR activities conducted by the ‘Women in Security’ and the ‘Young Professionals’ Committees. In June, in a workshop organized by ASIS International New Delhi Chapter, psychologist Prakriti Pandia encouraged participants to share their stories and feelings, leading to an exceptionally insightful experience. The combination of personal reflection and communal support created an invisible bond. Emotions were let out and shared, with many finding solace in discovering the commonality of shared experiences. A self-defence training was given to 30 girls at Lajpat Nagar this quarter and the aspiration is to reach out to more girls and empower at least 300 girls. Abhay Ranjan, who spearheads the boot camp for CPP, PSP, and PCI certifications amassed a lot of love when he mentioned how he has enriched each time any member gets certified. Needless to say, there is a reason why ASIS International is creating a lot of goodwill among security professionals globally.
