What is Guanlan Encoding?

Guanlan Encoding is an AI-powered video compression technology built on the H.265 standard. By bringing Hikvision's Guanlan large AI model directly into the encoding pipeline, it cuts video storage costs by 30%–50% on average — without losing clarity on the people, vehicles, and other details that matter most.

Can you share real-world examples of the 30%–50% average storage savings?

Yes. In internal comparative tests against conventional H.265, Guanlan Encoding consistently delivered significant savings: Canteen (24 hours) — 49% savings across full-day traffic fluctuations Office park entrance (30 min) — 42% savings during peak traffic Corporate lobby (2 hours) — 38% savings in a standard indoor environment Busy commercial street (1 hour) — 18% savings in a high-complexity, high-activity scene At project scale, the impact compounds. For a typical large deployment, Guanlan Encoding can roughly halve HDD requirements, rack space, and long-term power consumption — meaningfully lowering total cost of ownership.

With that much compression, will image quality suffer?

No. Guanlan Encoding is designed to compress without compromising what matters. Powered by an AI model that understands the scene, it uses precision Region of Interest (ROI) segmentation to preserve full clarity on dynamic subjects — people, vehicles, and other key objects — while applying ultra-high-ratio compression only to static backgrounds. The result: bitrates drop significantly, but the details you need for investigation, analytics, and evidence stay sharp.

Will Guanlan Encoding work with my existing system?

Yes. Because Guanlan Encoding is built on the H.265 standard, it remains interoperable with existing H.265 decoders and third-party devices. Encoding format, frame rate, and resolution stay unchanged — making adoption straightforward for both new and existing projects, with no impact on downstream AI analytics.

Saving 30% to 50% storage on average

A 2,000-channel project (1080p @ 2 Mbps for 90 days) can reduce HDD requirements from 403 to 202 units, saving 50% on hardware, rack space, and electricity costs.

Preserving HD details of key objects

Guanlan AI Encoding integrates a large AI model into the encoding pipeline to identify key objects within a scene. Powered by precision Region of Interest (ROI) segmentation, high-definition details are preserved for dynamic subjects such as people and vehicles. Static backgrounds undergo ultra-high-ratio compression, significantly reducing bitrates. The technology enables true encode-on-demand.
