I knew I could return and see all the people and vehicle movements whenever I wanted/needed to.Īs day and night go by, Acusense just goes on snaring pedestrian and vehicle movements. In a real sense, I found myself getting up from the workstation and walking away – leaving the Acusense turret to do its thing. With this camera you don’t view the monitor so much as trawl smart reports looking for humans and vehicles. It’s hard to express the operational paradigm shift that Acusense brings in words. Hikvision Acusense TechnologyĪcusense (for accurate sensing) is where the rubber meets the road. Something I like for the street is that this combination of wide view and high-resolution means that Acusense won’t miss much. This is designed to warn an intruder off before they attempt to breach the perimeter.Ī quick summation of camera performance – this is an excellent turret with strong resolution and good colour rendition – I notice a bit of over exposure or veiling flare in very bright areas – perhaps because the lens is so close to the front window of the turret. Hikvision’s latest AcuSense network camera is also equipped with built-in strobe light and audio alarm, which can be triggered when a potential intruder has been accurately detected. There’s simultaneous live view of up to 6 channels.
Security features include password protection, complicated password, HTTPS encryption, 802.1X authentication (EAP-MD5), watermark, IP address filter, basic and digest authentication for HTTP/HTTPS, WSSE and digest authentication for ONVIF and TLS1.2.
Image setting include saturation, brightness, contrast, sharpness, AGC and white balance adjustable by client software or web browser, there’s day/night switch and day/night/auto/schedule. Build is cast alloy with a plastic trim ring and the 138.3mm x 126.3mm camera weighs 740g and has an operating temperature of -30 to 60C and a current draw of 5.8W. The 2.8mm version, which I’m using for this test, has a horizontal field of view of 110 degrees and a vertical field of view of 60 degrees, which is ideal for my street application. Lens options include 2.8, 4 and 6mm, with a modest aperture of F1.6. It’s worth pointing out that the I model is IP66 and the IU model is IP67-rated. The camera delivers dual video streams, 3D digital noise reduction, has 30 metres of IR, 3-axis adjustment. Hikvision’s DS-2CD2386G2-IU 4K AcuSense turret camera has a fixed 2.8mm lens, a ½-inch progressive scan CMOS, giving 3840 × 2160 pixels at 20ips, 120dB WDR, a Darkfighter camera engine, H.265+, H.265, H.264+ and H.264 compression, support for micro SD/SDHC/SDXC up to 256GB, and a built-in microphone.
Before we go on, I’m going to quickly run over the specs, though the idea with this test is to focus on the Acusense deep learning algorithm, rather than on the camera. Key to this solution is that once it’s set up, the camera does this automatically, all the time, and it also filters out ‘noise’ so if there’s an event, you’re not battling through a river of video. Video clips are sorted into categories – people and vehicles – users click one of these categories and use time or location data to quickly locate the clip they need, making searches faster, as filtration has already been applied to footage. This NVR features a 4-core processor and supports H.265 intelligent compression, which aims to reduce bandwidth and storage requirements by up to 50 per cent.īefore we get into the specifications of the camera, it’s worth pointing out that the key to this camera is Acusense technology – a deep learning algorithm able to distinguish pedestrians, vehicles and objects and report events based on rules around what they do. Hikvision’s Acusense is more a solution than a camera and we’re testing outside the SEN network using the DS-7732NI-I4-16 32 channel, with 16 PoE Ports, 256Mbps throughput, H.265, 4K, 1.5RU, featuring 4 x HDD Bays + a 3TB HDD. Hikvision’s Acusense 4K fixed turret camera features 8MP resolution supported by Darkfighter technology to enhance low light performance, integrated IR, H.265 compression, 120dB of WDR, and a robust part-metal build that’s rated IP67 against water and dust.
