How does Hikvision AcuSeek work?

AcuSeek utilises Hikvision’s large multimodal AI model, called “Guanlan”, which combines visual understanding (video and images) and natural language processing (text) to match your typed query with relevant video content.

For example, you can type:

"Man wearing a red jacket entering the main gate"

or

"White car parked near loading bay at night"

The AcuSeek NVR will automatically find and display video clips that match the description within seconds. Take a look at a quick demo of an NVR with AcuSeek.
