Hikvision's Guanlan AI Models Enhance Video Surveillance Efficiency

HANGZHOU, China, Sept. 7, 2026 /CourierPR/ -- Hikvision, a leading provider of video surveillance solutions, has unveiled significant advancements in its Guanlan AI models, enhancing the capabilities of its video systems to better understand and respond to their environments. Launched over a year ago, the Guanlan models have transformed traditional video systems into intelligent agents capable of real-time analysis and decision-making.

The perimeter protection feature of Guanlan is a standout improvement. Traditional security systems often generate false alarms from animals, weather, and moving vegetation, overwhelming operators and leading to manual re-evaluations. Guanlan addresses this issue by running AI models at the edge, specifically on DeepinViewX cameras. These cameras reduce false alarms by 90% while extending detection ranges by a factor of two. For shorter perimeters, optical cameras are used, and for wider areas, thermal, radar, and fiber-optic sensing are employed. The AI algorithms ensure that the systems remain robust and reliable, significantly cutting down on unnecessary manual work.

Beyond perimeter protection, Guanlan offers scenario-specific analytics tailored to different operational environments. For instance, in safety and compliance, the system can detect Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) on construction sites, monitor for falls in care homes, and alert on smoking in gas stations. These applications continuously monitor for risky behaviors and trigger instant alerts, reducing false alarms by 70% to 90%. In operational hazards, Guanlan can detect forklifts in logistics parks and use dual-channel thermal cameras for early fire and smoke detection. Specialized uses include animal detection for large farms and prohibited item detection at transport hubs, powered by advanced X-ray and millimeter-wave models.

Efficiency is another key feature of Guanlan. The AI efficiency engine optimizes video storage by using precision Region of Interest (ROI) segmentation. Conventional encoding treats every part of the frame equally, but Guanlan Encoding brings the large vision model into the encoding pipeline. This approach preserves details on dynamic subjects like people and vehicles while heavily compressing static backgrounds. As a result, storage savings average between 30% and 50%.

Moreover, Guanlan introduces AcuSeek, a natural language video search tool. This feature allows operators to find specific moments in recorded video quickly and efficiently. By aligning image features with the meaning of a written phrase, AcuSeek enables searches based on simple descriptions, returning results in seconds.

Hikvision's latest innovation, the HIKO AI agent, represents the next frontier in AI interaction. This AI assistant sits between the system and the user, turning complex configurations into simple conversational commands. HIKO acts as an AI Assistant, carrying out administrative instructions instantly, such as setting up visitor access by plate number or generating an attendance report on request. As an AI Guardian, HIKO replaces rule configurations with natural language commands, tagging each alarm with a written summary and composing contextual audio warnings. Finally, HIKO functions as an AI Search engine, reconstructing a person's complete movement path across video, door records, and ANPR reads based on a simple query.

In summary, Hikvision's Guanlan AI models represent a significant leap forward in video surveillance technology, offering higher accuracy, lower costs, and smarter interaction. These advancements promise to enhance operational safety, reduce false alarms, optimize storage, and streamline user interaction.
