Hikvision CCTV cameras monitoring Britons in more than 275,000 separate networks are identified at five Uighur internment camps

• CCTV cameras monitoring Britons have been identified at five Uighur camps
• Cameras of Chinese firms Hikvision and Dahua have been monitoring detainees
• Research identified the cameras by studying recently-recorded video footage
• The UK has fourth largest CCTV network made by Communist Party-owned firms

Surveillance cameras made by firms monitoring the movements of Britons in more than 275,000 separate networks have been identified at five Uighur internment camps in Xinjiang, The Mail on Sunday can reveal.

The specialist CCTV cameras of Chinese state-owned companies Hikvision and Dahua have been found monitoring detainees at the camps.

The research, carried out by surveillance experts IPVM, identified the cameras by studying recently-recorded video footage by a Chinese blogger of the ‘re-education centres’ for minority Uighur Muslims in Xinjiang.

The cameras are tailored to low-light conditions and come with analytics such as intrusion detection, line crossing detection, and region entrance/exiting detection, which can all be used to detect people entering sensitive areas or inmates trying to escape.

Both firms have been blacklisted in the US over links to human rights abuses but so far the UK Government has not moved to sanction the companies.

It comes as the MoS can also reveal a study has found the UK has the world’s fourth largest network outside of China of CCTV cameras made by Communist Party-owned companies.

A report found that Britons are surveilled by 277,986 networks of Hikvision and Dahua cameras, with the number of individual cameras likely to be much higher.

London holds the largest number at 61,504, followed by Birmingham with 8,865, Manchester with 7,436 and Liverpool with 4,957, according to researchers at TOP10VPN.

Last week it emerged that the Government is using hundreds of Hikvision cameras across the Department for Health, Department for Work and Pensions, and Ministry of Justice.

This is despite a Freedom of Information request by the campaign group Free Tibet that uncovered official Ministry of Defence guidance warning ‘not to use / install Hikvision equipment’.

And last week the MoS revealed the Home Office had faced a security scare after discovering a CCTV unit in its London HQ manufactured by Dahua.

Authorities in the US fear the companies’ camera technology present a national security concern because of their links to the Chinese state, which the firms’ bosses strongly deny.

Both Hikvision and Dahua’s cameras and technology has been used in the repression of the Muslim minority Uighurs in China.

Conservative MP Alicia Kearns, of the China Research Group, said: ‘I have been calling for the UK government to ban Hikvision and Dahua cameras for months – not least stripping it from Government departments and local councils.

‘This is yet more evidence why we urgently need to rip this insidious technology from our country to protect our civil liberties.

‘It is unacceptable for even a penny of taxpayers’ money to go to an arm of the Chinese state, one actively facilitating the genocide of the Uighur people in Xinjiang.’

Earlier this month the Government brought its revised camera surveillance code before Parliament but failed to include a human rights clause blocking the purchase of equipment from firms linked to human rights abuses.

Fraser Sampson, England and Wales’s Biometric and Surveillance Camera Commissioner, said: ‘From what little they’ve said publicly it seems Hikvision would like to adopt a ‘fire and forget’ approach and disown any responsibility for what is done with their systems once they’ve designed and installed them.’

Hikvision supplies CCTV cameras to British schools, police forces, government departments, local councils, hospitals, care homes and private companies.

The Chinese government owns a controlling stake in Hikvision and smaller minority share of Dahua.

Hikvision declined to comment but a Dahua spokesman said: ‘We cannot confirm that the camera pictured is in fact a Dahua device and its specific purpose, as there are many look-alike cameras made by other manufacturers available on the market.

‘Regardless, we are not surprised, not should anyone else be surprised, to see an outward facing and traffic-monitoring security camera located on the perimeter of what appears to be a government facility.

‘One would expect to find cameras being widely used to help secure public and commercial facilities, reduce traffic congestions, improve industrial automation, as well as many other intelligent applications to help make the world safer and smarter.’

How organisations can revolutionise their security strategies and outcomes with Artificial Intelligence

Artificial Intelligence allows machines to do jobs previously done by people. When it comes to security and surveillance, this technology allows cameras and control room equipment to identify a wide range of threats automatically and in real time across hundreds or even thousands of cameras – allowing security teams to take immediate action to protect people and assets. 

Video surveillance cameras are the electronic eyes of any security operation. In the past, human supervision was needed to make sense of the images captured, and to assess whether certain events posed a security risk or not. With some organisations using hundreds or even thousands of cameras to protect their people and assets, manual review of footage is simply impossible – potentially leaving them vulnerable to security breaches.

To help organisations overcome this challenge, and to optimise their security, Hikvision has built advanced Artificial Intelligence technology into our surveillance solutions. This means that our cameras, control-room equipment and back-end infrastructure can now ‘learn’ about potential threats for themselves by recognising people, vehicles and even behaviours.

Improving all aspects of security with ‘proactive’ detection and prevention
The manual interventions needed with traditional security systems mean that teams were frequently reacting to breaches that had already happened. Artificial Intelligence changes all this by recognising potential threats before they impact company’s people or assets – allowing security teams to react immediately to neutralise any potential threat.

For example, Hikvision Artificial Intelligence solutions can automatically trigger alerts when a person appears in a restricted area, or when a vehicle with a blacklisted number plate enters a site. With alerts delivered in real time, teams can identify and react to security threats and protect people and assets more effectively. And because alerts are automated, potential threats are hardly missed or overlooked.

How does Artificial Intelligence work? 
Artificial Intelligence systems become more intelligent over time, building databases of potential threats and reacting to new events accordingly. This allows systems to ‘think for themselves’ and to alert teams of any suspicious events or people who are caught on camera.

Hikvision’s Artificial Intelligence technologies use advanced algorithms based on Deep Learning to distinguish between different kinds of security events and threats. Technologies incorporated into the Hikvision portfolio include:

•    Facial recognition 
which allows law enforcement personnel to identify suspects and commercial teams to identify VIP customers in real time.
•    Vehicle identification 
which can be used to identify vehicle number plates, and recognise different types of vehicles (even down to make and model), or to trigger alerts when vehicles enter restricted areas.
•    Perimeter protection 
which helps organisations to identify real threats by distinguishing people and vehicles from other moving objects and keeping false alarms to a minimum.
•    Business intelligence
which employs people counting, queue detection, and heat mapping technologies, so that organisations can enhance operational efficiency by making use of the data report.

Why is Artificial Intelligence great news for businesses? 
Artificial Intelligence isn’t just useful for identifying security threats – although this is a key strength of the technology. It can also help organisations increase their competitiveness and commercial success.

For example, VIP customers who opt to participate in special marketing promotions or other incentives can be identified so staff can provide the right kind of service at the right time. This gives organisations the opportunity to personalise the service experience, foster loyalty and maximise customer lifetime revenues.

Hikvision: an Artificial Intelligence pioneer
Hikvision has created a family of Artificial Intelligence products to maximise the benefits for organisations, such as the DeepinView network cameras and DeepinMind NVRs. The products help to tackle security with facial recognition; monitoring and counting of people; and recognition and detection of vehicles, to name a few. These features all depend on Artificial Intelligence technology to recognise, classify and respond to security threats.Continue Shopping

Discover Hikvision’s latest ColorVu technology: even sharper imaging with brighter color, 24 hours a day

Traditional video cameras provide black and white images, which can be grainy and unclear in low-light environments. To help boost security 24×7, Hikvision has created its ColorVu technology, which gives organizations high-resolution, full-color images, even in near-total darkness.

Security breaches are not governed by the seasons, by the weather, and certainly not by the time of day. They can occur at any time, and often under the cover of darkness when traditional, black-and-white security cameras with infrared lighting are unable to capture events clearly enough to collect clear evidence or respond effectively.

Hikvision has expanded its full-color camera range with ColorVu technology. This offers a much better visual experience than traditional cameras, providing accurately rendered color images with balanced brightness at all times of the day or night.

Now the camera range with ColorVu technology includes 4k cameras for UHD experience, and varifocal cameras for unparalleled clarity. These innovations allow organizations and local authorities to monitor outdoor or indoor spaces, identify breaches as soon as they occur, and react in real-time to protect staff, employees and members of the public.

Boosting security with leading-edge technology
Cameras with ColorVu technology are able to capture high-definition, full-color images in low light conditions because of two key technology breakthroughs: advanced F1.0 large apertures, and high-performance imaging sensors. The cameras also use a new 3D dynamic noise reduction (DNR) algorithm to increase clarity at long range, and a soft and warm supplemental light guarantees colorful images even in zero-light environments.

The expanded camera range with ColorVu satisfies different needs of customers, from high-performance products to budget-friendly choices, as well as smart solutions. For example, the range now includes a 4K camera that offers ultra-high-definition color imaging during the day and at night. With better image quality and richer details, 4K cameras with ColorVu can be applied in wider scenarios such as stadiums, airports, harbors, and parking lots, where clear and high-resolution images are necessary.

The cameras with ColorVu can also integrate Hikvision AcuSense technology to distinguish between people, vehicles, and other moving targets such as rain, leaves and animals. Alarms are only triggered when preset intrusion types are detected, allowing security teams to take action.

4 key applications for the cameras with ColorVu Technology
The ability to capture clear, full-color images 24×7 is useful for a wide range of indoor and outdoor scenarios. Examples include:

1) Security for outdoor spaces – especially streets and parks

Lighting on streets and in parks is rarely uniform, and dark areas can increase the risk of crime and make people feel unsafe. Cameras with ColorVu technology enable local authorities to record high-resolution, full-color video footage even in low-light conditions, which helps to increase security and enables much faster responses to incidents.

2) Improved perimeter protection for retail and logistics parks

Perimeter protection is always a challenge for large retail and logistics parks. With ColorVu technology, security teams can monitor the perimeter 24×7 and react quickly to any breaches before assets or people are put at risk. Cameras with ColorVu can also be combined with other smart video technologies from Hikvision – including AcuSense vehicle and license-plate recognition – to trigger automated alerts for suspected security breaches.

3) Asset protection for small businesses

Small businesses around the world need to protect their assets, including vehicles left in driveways or on the street. Because cameras with ColorVu technology are able to capture high-resolution, full-color images 24×7, security breaches can be recorded, and evidence passed on to the authorities – increasing the chance that assets can be recovered and that perpetrators will be brought to justice.

4) Increased security at building entrances

High-resolution, full-color images can greatly enhance security at building entrances, which are sometimes unlit, or dimly lit. Even though cameras with ColorVu can record footage in extremely low light conditions, teams often choose to turn on the cameras’ supplementary light as an additional deterrent to a break-in or other security incident.Hikvision Cameras with ColorVu technology

Hikvision Adds Network Bullet Cameras With 25x Optical Zoom To Its DeepinView Range

Hikvision, an IoT solution provider with video as its core competency, recently announced the launch of a new addition to its signature AI-based DeepinView network camera range – the 4MP varifocal bullet camera (iDS-2CD7A45G0-IZ(H)S(Y)).

It is the first camera in the DeepinView range to incorporate 25x optical zoom capability which allows customers to monitor large spaces more cost-effectively than before. This makes it ideal for transportation hubs like airports and railway stations, highways and stadiums, as well as industrial settings like steel mills and chemical plants.

Why does 25x optical zoom make a big difference?

Featuring a 4.7 -118 mm focal lens and 25x optical zoom, the camera can capture targets with clear images from a distance. This gives customers several benefits.

  • Saving on overall expenditure and maintenance costs. One camera can cover large spaces that would otherwise need several cameras to do the job. This also delivers cost savings in the future, as customers only need to pay maintenance costs for ‘one’ camera.
  • Improving facility protection and employee safety. Places like steel mills and metal production plants generate extremely high temperatures. That means to secure the key areas, cameras need to be deployed from a safe distance. An HD security camera with 25x zoom ensures quality footage can still be captured from a farther but safe operating environment.
  • Boosting security with strengthened target identification. The ultra-long focal length coupled with 4MP resolution enables images to be captured in detail. Employed with Deep Learning algorithms, the camera can meet more advanced security needs including perimeter protection, facial recognition, and multi-target-type recognition for people and vehicles.

Object detection upto 200m

To cover wide areas, the camera needs to be mounted at certain heights. Accordingly, its performance can also be impacted by exterior environments such as high winds or passing traffic, which could result in shaking and blurry images. Hikvision’s new DeepinView camera is engineered with Gyro Image Stabilisation (GIS) technology that minimises the effects of vibration and allows the camera to constantly produce clear images.

The camera features long-range IR, capable of object detection at distances of up to 200 metres, ensuring optimal vision at night. This is an unusual feature on a bullet camera, making it more valuable.Pre-Order Now
