Hikvision AcuSeek Redefines Video Retrieval with Type-to-Search
Security teams have been fighting the same battle for years: drowning in video footage with no fast way to find what they’re looking for. Picture this — a theft occurs at your facility, and you need to review 12 hours of video across multiple cameras to find a suspect in a red jacket. Traditional systems would have you clicking through timestamps and scrubbing through endless footage, turning a simple search into an all-day investigation.
Those days are over.
AI Video Search: From Manual Reviews to Instant Results
Modern video management software (VMS) has evolved far beyond basic recording and playback but still require significant inputs, filters and manual effort to locate video of interest. With new AcuSeek AI technology from Hikvision, users can simply type a description of what they are looking for – a person in a red jacket -- just like they do on their favorite search engines, and all related video content that fits that description is automatically queued for playback. So instead of spending hours manually reviewing footage, security professionals can easily find what they are looking for in seconds.
This transformation represents the biggest new leap forward in video security since the shift from analog to digital. AcuSeek AI video search technology fundamentally changes how investigations will be conducted moving forward.
Natural Language Search Delivers Video of Interest in Seconds
Early users of this new advanced video search technology are seeing dramatic improvements in their daily operations. Investigations that previously took 45 minutes of manual review are now completed in seconds. More than just a convenience, AcuSeek AI technology enables security and law enforcement personnel to respond to incidents while they're evolving rather than hours after they’ve occurred.
AcuSeek AI technology lets users search through reams of recorded video footage using natural language “text” search descriptions up to 64 characters long. Whether you're looking for a "black SUV entering east gate" or a "person carrying a backpack," the AcuSeek AI instantly understands and delivers accurate results. This powerful investigation tool transforms traditional video content analysis into an intuitive, conversation-like experience with rapid results.
Advanced Security Investigation Tools: AcuSeek Plus Layered Intelligence
The most powerful implementations combine multiple AI technologies for even greater precision. Users can start with a broad natural language search to identify general activity, then drill down using advanced target identification tools to focus on specific individuals or vehicles. This layered approach is perfect for scenarios like:
Lost and found investigations - Quickly locate when and where an item was last seen, then track its movement through your facility.
Incident response - Identify suspicious behavior patterns and trace individuals across multiple camera zones.
AcuSeek Integration with HikCentral VMS Platform
Hikvision’s HikCentral Lite and HikCentral Professional software management platforms are designed to seamlessly incorporate AI capabilities facilitating system-wide deployment of AcuSeek AI at any scale. Whether you're running a small business with or managing more complex enterprise-wide surveillance across multiple locations, AcuSeek AI scales to match your requirements.
The beauty lies in the simplicity—no complex training is required or lengthy setup processes. Teams can start using AcuSeek’s user-intuitive search capability immediately, with the system getting smarter as it processes more data.
On-Device Video Management: ZERO Subscription Costs, Complete Privacy
Unlike cloud-based solutions that require uploading your footage to external servers, the next generation AcuSeek AI NVR processes everything locally. Your video never leaves your network, eliminating privacy concerns and ongoing subscription fees. The AI processing happens right on your hardware, giving you enterprise-grade search capabilities with ZERO recurring costs.
This approach addresses a major concern for many organizations: maintaining complete control over sensitive video data while still benefiting from cutting-edge AI analysis.
Smart Security Systems: AI Analytics Meet Modern Hardware
AcuSeek's intelligent search capabilities go even further when integrated with other modern security technologies. For instance, high-resolution 4K cameras aren't just about clearer images. They provide the detailed imagery essential for AcuSeek AI to deliver highly accurate identification. Similarly, ColorVu technology ensures clear, full-color footage even in low-light conditions, giving AcuSeek the optimal visual data it needs to perform in challenging environments. The AcuSeek NVR, paired with 7 Series DeepinView cameras, integrates a wide range of intelligent functions in one solution, including perimeter protection, face recognition, people counting, license plate recognition, and parking space management. These features enhance accuracy and performance, made even more powerful with the AcuSeek AI feature that locates targets in seconds.
Transforming Video from a Reactive to Proactive Solution
When AI software and intelligent edge devices converge, they create a comprehensive security ecosystem that's both proactive and preventive by helping to identify potential threats as they are evolving with on demand investigative capabilities. Embracing these new tools improves safety and security while allowing personnel more time to enhance overall services.
