Hikvision ColorVu CCTV Installation in Hapugala | Full-Color Security Cameras
Hikvision ColorVu CCTV Installation — Hapugala, Galle District
Our technicians completed a full-perimeter security camera system for a residential property in Hapugala — 6 × Hikvision ColorVu 2MP full-color bullet cameras connected to a Hikvision 8-channel Turbo HD DVR, with weatherproof PVC conduit routing delivering round-the-clock, full-color surveillance for the homeowner.
About This CCTV Installation Project
Hapugala is a peaceful residential locality in the Galle District, Southern Province, Sri Lanka, approximately 7 km from the Galle city centre. Like many rapidly developing suburban areas in the district, demand for professional home security solutions has grown significantly over the past few years.
US Layer was contacted by a homeowner in Hapugala who needed complete perimeter coverage for their property. After an initial on-site survey, our team recommended a Hikvision ColorVu full-color CCTV system — a globally trusted technology that captures vivid, full-color footage 24 hours a day, even in complete darkness, using built-in warm supplemental lighting instead of traditional IR.
The installation scope included:
- 6 × Hikvision ColorVu 2MP (1080p Full HD) bullet cameras covering all entry points and the surrounding garden
- Hikvision 8-channel Turbo HD DVR with local HDD storage for continuous 24/7 recording
- Weatherproof white PVC conduit cable routing along all external walls and eaves
- Dedicated 12V DC power supply units mounted securely at each camera point
- Full camera angle calibration and ColorVu focus adjustment on completion

Why We Chose Hikvision for This Project
Hikvision is the world’s leading CCTV manufacturer, headquartered in Hangzhou, China, with a dominant market share in both residential and commercial security camera systems globally. For this Hapugala installation, Hikvision analog bullet cameras were the ideal choice for several reasons:
Hikvision ColorVu vs. Standard IR CCTV — What’s the Difference?
ColorVu cameras use a high-sensitivity image sensor combined with a warm supplemental light to produce vivid, full-color footage around the clock — even in complete darkness. Traditional IR cameras capture black-and-white footage at night, making it harder to identify clothing color, vehicle color, or facial details. For a residential property like this one in Hapugala, ColorVu provided a meaningful upgrade in evidence quality with no extra complexity.
Analog ColorVu vs. IP CCTV — What’s Right for Hapugala Homes?
For residential properties in areas like Hapugala, analog HD CCTV systems remain a highly cost-effective and reliable choice. Here’s why many homeowners in the Galle District continue to choose analog over IP:
| Feature | Analog HD CCTV | IP CCTV |
|---|---|---|
| Installation Cost | Lower | Higher |
| Cabling | Coaxial + power | Cat6 (PoE) or separate power |
| Resolution | Up to 8 MP (5K) | Up to 12 MP + |
| Network Required | No (standalone DVR) | Yes (NVR + network) |
| Remote Access | Yes (via DVR app) | Yes (via NVR/cloud) |
| Best For | Homes, small premises | Large commercial, multi-site |
For this Hapugala property, the Hikvision ColorVu analog system delivered excellent full-color coverage at a budget that made sense for the homeowner — with no compromise on image quality, color accuracy, or reliability.
Our Installation Process — Step by Step
Every CCTV installation by US Layer follows a structured process to ensure clean workmanship, maximum camera effectiveness, and a system that lasts for years without issues.
1. On-Site Survey
Before any equipment is ordered, our technician visits the property to map out all entry points, assess wall materials, measure cable runs, and plan the DVR placement. This ensures zero surprises on installation day.
2. Equipment Selection & Procurement
Based on the survey, we specified 6 × Hikvision ColorVu 2MP Turbo HD full-color bullet cameras and a Hikvision 8-channel DVR — giving the homeowner 6 active channels with 2 spare ports for future expansion. All equipment is sourced from authorised Hikvision distributors.
3. Cable Routing & Conduit Installation
We run cables through white PVC conduit along walls, eaves, and ceilings — giving a clean, professional finish and protecting cables from UV, moisture, and physical damage. No messy surface wiring.
4. Camera Mounting & Positioning
Each camera bracket is drilled and anchored securely into masonry or wood. We position cameras at the optimal height and angle — typically 2.5–3.5 m above ground — to capture full facial detail and wide area coverage simultaneously.
5. Power Supply Installation
Dedicated power supply units (PSUs) are installed at strategic points, each providing stable 12V DC power to nearby cameras. Clean wiring keeps voltage drop to a minimum for consistent performance.
6. DVR Setup & Configuration
The Hikvision 8-channel Turbo HD DVR is configured with the correct channel settings for all 6 cameras, recording schedules (24/7 continuous), HDD formatting, and network settings for remote access via the Hik-Connect app.
7. Remote Access & Handover
We connect the system to the homeowner’s router, set up their mobile app, and provide a full demonstration. The homeowner leaves with live viewing capability on their smartphone on day one.

Frequently Asked Questions — CCTV Installation in Hapugala
How many cameras do I need for a typical house in Hapugala?This Hapugala project used 6 ColorVu cameras for complete perimeter coverage — front entrance, rear garden, both side access points, the driveway, and a rear corner. Most single-storey homes in the area are well covered with 4–6 cameras. Our technician will confirm the exact number after the free on-site survey.
What resolution are the Hikvision ColorVu cameras you install?For this project we installed Hikvision ColorVu 2MP (1080p Full HD) Turbo HD bullet cameras — delivering crisp, full-color identifiable footage in both daylight and complete darkness using built-in warm supplemental lighting. We also offer 5MP ColorVu options for clients who want extra detail.
Can I view my cameras remotely from abroad?Yes. Once the Hikvision DVR is connected to your broadband router, you can view live and recorded footage from anywhere in the world using the free Hik-Connect app on Android or iOS.
How long does the installation take?This 6-camera system was completed in a single day. A standard 4-camera residential system typically takes 4–6 hours; a 6–8 camera system like this one takes 6–8 hours including DVR setup and remote access configuration.
Do you provide a warranty on the installation?Yes. All Hikvision hardware comes with the manufacturer’s warranty, and we back our installation workmanship for 12 months. If a camera mount fails or a cable develops a fault due to our work, we’ll fix it free of charge.
What happens to recorded footage if the power goes out?The DVR resumes recording automatically when power is restored. For areas with frequent power cuts, we can add a UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) to keep the system running during short outages.
