Hikvision AcuSeek NVR
The Hikvision AcuSeek NVR is an AI-powered Network Video Recorder that enables users to search video footage by typing simple text descriptions, eliminating the need for manual review of hours of recordings.
Search Broadly
Quickly locate people, cars, or other objects by describing key details. AcuSeek connects visual features to deliver precise search results.
Search Instantly
Find what you need in seconds, not hours — no more scrolling through endless video frames.
Search Accurately
Enter a detailed text description, and the system intelligently interprets the nuances to minimise false matches.
Search Flexibly
Execute fast searches using shortcuts like “find persons” or “find cars,” with full support for customised keywords.
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.
