Hikvision’s AcuSense raises the bar for AI security systems

October 10, 2021 by T3 India

To allow homeowners and SME organisations breathe a sigh of relief, Hikvision’s AcuSense solutions strive to harness the power of AI to provide much more effective security. The technology is being claimed to revolutionise security for owners with better speeds, ability to help save costs, and upgraded AI features.

In their press release, Hikvision has highlighter 3 ways that AcuSense technology is upping the game in AI security:

  • AcuSense technology supports faster and more effective responses to security incidents through real-time alarms triggered and relayed to the owner’s mobile/smartphone devices, allowing them to respond as quickly as possible in the case of a security breach. This way, the owners can minimise the damages and losses, ad can also prevent severe repercussions.

Another added benefit includes the built-in sound and strobe alarms that are designed to startle the intruders and perpetrators when they enter restricted areas.

  • AcuSense technology can differentiate between humans and vehicles, and other moving objects such as animals, falling leaves, or rain. Through enhanced computer vision abilities, Hikvision’s AcuSense technology minimises false positives and alerts owners only in the event of real security threats.

Footage of incidents can be found very quickly and easily through ‘tags’ added to the video timeline every time a person or vehicle appears in the camera view, thus eliminating the time for manual video searches which is time-consuming to say the least.

  • Hikvision’s AcuSense technology is versatile in the sense that it can be deployed in a range of settings – in residences, warehouses, factories, and other restricted areas. Hikvision has been at the forefront of providing security solutions and its cameras, NVRs, and DVRs are easy to deploy too as they all use similar mounting and configuration processes. The Motion Detection 2.0 function is turned on by default – which means that accurate human and vehicle detection can be done without any configuration.

Users can also deploy AcuSense-enabled NVRs to their existing cameras to take advantage of the new, AI-powered security features. “For the very first time, AcuSense technology from Hikvision is bringing the power of AI security to homeowners and SMEs. That means customers in this important market can now boost their security and respond to incidents faster, while also saving time and reducing their workloads and costs,” says Kevin You, Product Management Director at Hikvision.

Prioritising Women’s Safety Through Video Security Technologies

March 13, 2021 by T3 Online

Women’s safety is a critical issue in India due to a lack of awareness among the key stakeholders. Promoting the cause of women’s safety through video security technology is our initiative to sensitize people about women safety-related issues and develop consensus among the critical mass for better outcomes. Women have the right to be free from violence, harassment and discrimination. Removing the barriers of an unsafe environment can help women fulfil their potential as individuals and as contributors to work, communities and economies.


Understanding Women’s Safety Issues

Women’s safety involves strategies, practices and policies, which aim to reduce gender-based violence (or violence against women), including women’s fear of crime. However, the safety and security of women and children in the country are of utmost priority for the Government. There are adequate laws and provisions to ensure safeguarding women at home, offices and society. There is a critical need to create awareness on women’s safety-related issues to change the mind-set and sensitize people.

Video Security Technologies

Women’s Safety is a major concern and adequate steps should be taken by the state and all the stakeholders. In the case of women’s safety, video security solutions are the most effective deterrent to crimes. It has a proven track record of the prevention of crimes against women. In case of attack or harassment of women, proactive video security can help the victim in real time.

The security industry has developed many video security products, Smart Home Cameras, IoT Mobile Applications, GPS based tracking solutions, Smart Poles, Emergency Call Boxes, Panic Switches and systems to help the cause of women safety. There are many smart security solutions and app-based IoT devices available for women’s safety.

Security on the Go: As an extension of traditional video security into wireless transportation environments, mobile onboard surveillance systems offer both analog and IP solutions (Video security Cameras, Mobile DVRs and NVRs) to ensure women’s safety while travelling. Designed for the harsh environmental challenges of vibration, dust and varying temperatures, the systems feature proven performance and keep forensic evidence for situations.

Should an incident be reported that requires investigation, system operators can access footage wirelessly via cellular networks, directly from the mobile video recorders, and view any recorded footage instantly in a monitoring centre. The records can also be exported to law enforcement agencies for further investigation. Additionally, abnormal driving behaviours can be detected by onboard network cameras and drivers can be alerted in real time, protecting women and co-passengers from potential incidents.

Smart home Cameras: With the latest Smart Home Camera, users get the full suite of functional security features like two-way audio, motion detection, and remote viewing, plus advanced features including a built-in AI processing chip for accurate human shape detection, and proprietary colour night vision technology that effectively shatters previous limitations inherent in night-time security footage. Smart Home cameras are an effective tool for women’s safety in home environment.

Smart Pole: Smart Poles for Smart Infrastructure solution is a very useful security system to aid women’s safety in public areas (IT parks, Campuses, Public Spaces and Transport Terminals). The solution uses cutting-edge Hikvision technology to secure people while keeping them connected while they are on the move for work or travel. In this challenging world, Smart Poles offers better safety and security solution to keep our public areas more secured during the day and night from the women’s safety perspective. It is mainly applied to the scenarios of school, square, tourist attraction, hospital, supermarket gate, market, station, parking lot, etc.

Video Security Cameras: The latest Video Security Technology enable cameras to produce colourful videos, even in extremely dimly lit environments. When using a conventional camera with infrared lighting for night monitoring, people, vehicles, or other important objects are blurry and blend into the background, making it difficult to identify details. Colour-related information is crucial for many scenarios and is a great asset for data and analysis. It bolsters the cause of women’s safety.

The latest Video Security cameras supported by AI technology, are engineered with an upgraded Deep Learning algorithm, which analyses live video streams and label them as “human,” “vehicle,” or “other events. Those labelled as human and vehicle will trigger alarms for security staff, while other events such as raindrops, animals, or the movement of foliage, for example, will be drastically disregarded. The result is a striking reduction in false alarms – now with an accuracy approaching 98%. In this way, security personnel can focus on genuine security issues and take action. Additionally, related videos are automatically sorted by categories for easier search. These advanced cameras can aid the cause of enhancing women’s safety through video security technology.

Video Security as a Deterrent and Investigation Tool


A criminal investigation on women safety incident can be thought of as a series of questions: who was involved in an incident and how any offences were committed, etc. Video security cameras may be useful in answering at least two of these questions: what happened and who was involved. A good-quality recording could potentially allow investigators to watch an entire incident unfold in detail, providing information about the sequence of events, the methods used and the entry and exit routes taken by the offender. Even if this is not possible, video security may be useful in corroborating or refuting other evidence of what happened, such as witness testimony. Recordings may also provide information that investigators can use to contextualise other evidence.

Images can also be used to identify potential witnesses. In order for video security cameras to be useful in answering investigative questions, certain circumstances are required.

The Way Forward

Women’s safety technology awareness needs to be developed among working women and peer groups. Video Security Technology can proactively help women in safeguarding them from the evolving threats in their living and working environment.
