Hikvision’s AI NVR: Smarter Security with Language and Video Models

Hikvision is changing the game in video investigation with its new AI-powered search tool, AcuSeek. This innovation promises to slash the time it takes for security teams to sift through footage, turning hours into mere seconds. Imagine finding that crucial clip of “a person in a red jacket with a backpack” or spotting “a black SUV” just by typing a quick description.

From days to seconds

“AcuSeek tackles the age-old problem of manually hunting for specific video in systems of any size,” says John Xiao, VP of Marketing at Hikvision USA. “Forget wrestling with complicated filters and endless video reviews. AcuSeek uses smart AI to make searches lightning fast.”

Powered by Hikvision’s cutting-edge visual and language AI, AcuSeek is seriously efficient. What used to take 45 minutes of manual searching can now be done in under 10 seconds. This speed and accuracy boost means security can identify, respond to, and analyze threats faster than ever.

AcuSeek will first be available as a built-in feature on Hikvision’s advanced AcuSeek NVR (model iDS-9632NXI-M8/X), updated with the latest firmware. It uses powerful on-device GPUs and deep-learning for top-notch privacy. Paired with the AcuSearch high-precision target ID engine, AcuSeek NVR enables advanced search capabilities, including:

• Tracking suspicious individuals
• Finding lost individuals, and lost and found investigations
• Motor vehicle incident tracking
• Behavioral monitoring

This powerful combination allows for rapid event detection, faster resolutions, and better security decisions.

Edge advantage

For maximum data protection, AcuSeek keeps all search processing local, ensuring every bit of data stays within the user’s network. This is a key advantage over cloud-based solutions that require footage to be sent offsite for analysis.

AcuSeek works smoothly with Hikvision’s wide range of security products, including 4K cameras for detailed images, ColorVu cameras for colorful footage day and night, and the robust HikCentral Professional and HikCentral Lite management platforms.

And to top it off, AcuSeek comes without any licensing fees or bandwidth restrictions, adding even more value.
