Hikvision reports that it’ll have the largest stand at IFSEC 2018 at Excel in London Docklands this month. New from the manufacturer at the annual show will include self-learning Artificial Intelligence (AI), deployable across vertical market sectors. On demonstration will be queue and crowd management, a new Video Management System (VMS), DarkFighter ‘low-light’ cameras, and thermal imaging powered by Artificial Intelligence (AI). The stand D300 will highlight the intruder alarms of Pyronix, and feature technology partners who will show ‘value add’ features.
Visitors can see new products in the company’s AI Series:
· Queue Management Technology: Live queue information analysis providing real time alerts with the ability to provide data reports/analysis, for business service and operational efficiency.
· Deep in Mind: Crowd density analysis: analyse and generate alert levels of crowds with reports in different time frames. Reduce false alarms (up to 90pc, it’s claimed) by distinguishing target type, for perimeter defence in monitored applications.
· Deep in View: Deep learning algorithm for human behaviour analysis (loitering, falling down) and face capture. Also shown will be technology that delivers information on vehicular activity, such as illegal parking detection.
· Deep in View Facial Recognition: integrated with access control to allow people entry to offices using secured biometric identification.
Another AI-powered product on display at IFSEC will be Hikvision’s Deep in View Thermal camera, which can distinguish objects based on target type, reducing false alarms by up to 90pc the makers claim and providing notifications.
The manufacturer’s new video management system, HikCentral, brings multiple technologies into one platform, using the AI Series to deliver what the firm describes as integrated surveillance solutions. Other products on display will include:
· Intelligent Traffic System: Deep Learning-based check point systems and smart parking management.
