Hikvision Launches “AcuSeek NVR” Powered by Large Multimodal AI Models for Next-Level Video Retrieval

Hikvision unveils its revolutionary AcuSeek NVR, a groundbreaking solution powered by the Guanlan large-scale AI models. Designed to address a key industry challenge, the AcuSeek NVR significantly reduces the time security personnel spend manually reviewing surveillance footage frame by frame during incident investigations. By incorporating natural language interaction, the system enables highly accurate video and image retrieval within seconds. This innovation marks a transformative milestone in advancing the security industry toward more intelligent and efficient applications.

Large multimodal AI models enable the "Search by Text" era

The AcuSeek NVR leverages Hikvision’s proprietary Guanlan large-scale AI model, trained on massive parameter sets and extensive datasets to enable advanced cross-modal text-image comprehension. Users can simply enter a phrase or keyword, such as “person on a phone call,” “white van,” or “person walking a dog” and the system swiftly extracts relevant subject features from video footage, semantically aligning them for fast and accurate retrieval.

Four core advantages defining industry standards

  • Search Broadly: The system covers high-frequency security subjects including people, motor vehicles, and non-motor vehicles, while supporting open semantic searches for specific items such as wheeled suitcases and small carts, as well as anomalies like not wearing helmets when required, meeting diverse scenario requirements.
  • Search Accurately: Through feature alignment technology, the system precisely interprets complex descriptions such as "person wearing a hat and black clothing" or "child carrying a backpack," significantly lowering false detection rates.
  • Search Instantly: The system responds in seconds, rapidly locating subjects from extensive video footage and enhancing emergency response efficiency.
  • Search Flexibly: The system user interface provides convenient shortcuts including "Find People," "Find Vehicles," and "Find Pets," while supporting user-customizable search phrases with an extremely low operational threshold that requires no professional training

Four core advantages defining industry standards

The AcuSeek NVR can be widely applied across physical security, traffic management, and community service sectors. Examples include: 

  • Physical Security: Rapidly screening object characteristics such as "black SUV with round headlights" to assist investigations.
  • Traffic Management: Searching for "scooters" and "motorcycles" that have entered restricted road sections to enhance enforcement efficiency.
  • Community Service: Helping residents locate lost pets or missing items, enhancing community service capabilities.

Leo Chen, the product manager at Hikvision, stated: "The launch of the AcuSeek NVR addresses the pain points of traditional video retrieval that relies on manual annotation and suffers from low efficiency. Moving forward, we will continue optimizing AI model algorithms, expanding into more vertical scenarios, and promoting the deep integration of AI technology with security applications."
