Hikvision AcuSeek is an AI-powered Network Video Recorder (NVR) technology that allows users to search recorded video footage using natural language text or voice queries. It uses large-scale multimodal AI models (Guanlan) to instantly locate specific objects, people, or events—such as “person in a red jacket”—significantly reducing manual video review time.

This video demonstrates how AcuSeek can be used to search for specific objects in video recordings:

Key Features of AcuSeek NVRs:

• Natural Language Search: You can type descriptive phrases (up to 64 characters) to find specific, recorded events.
• Rapid Retrieval: The technology identifies and returns relevant video clips in seconds, accelerating incident investigations.
• Object Identification: AcuSeek can identify specific features, such as “worker without a hard hat,” or types of vehicles.
• Versatile Application: Ideal for security in factories, retail stores, and business parks, enabling behavioural monitoring and lost-and-found investigations.
• Remote & Local Access: Searches can be performed directly on the NVR, via a web browser, or remotely using the Hik-Connect app.

AcuSeek is generally compatible with modern G2/G3 series Hikvision cameras, with functionality often managed through a ChatGPT-style interface within the NVR system.
