Extra Info
AcuSense Technology
Hikvision's AcuSense technology revolutionizes surveillance by applying deep learning algorithms to filter out irrelevant motion, such as animals or falling leaves. This means you receive alerts only when human or vehicle targets are detected, making your security system far more effective and manageable. This feature is particularly useful for monitoring driveways, entrances, and property perimeters where precise detection is crucial.
Enhanced Image Quality
The camera's 120 dB Wide Dynamic Range (WDR) capability is essential for scenes with high contrast. Whether it's a brightly lit entrance against a dark interior or strong sunlight beaming through a window, WDR balances the lighting across the entire image, ensuring that both bright and dark areas are clearly visible and detailed. Coupled with 3D Digital Noise Reduction (DNR), the video output is clean, sharp, and free from grainy artifacts, especially in low-light conditions.
Intelligent Event Linking
When an event is triggered, such as a human or vehicle crossing a defined line, the camera can automatically initiate a series of actions. This includes uploading footage to FTP or network-attached storage (NAS), sending email notifications, and triggering recordings or captures to ensure that critical moments are never missed. This automated response streamlines your security operations and provides immediate awareness of potential incidents.
