Hikvision’s IVaaS Technology links previously separated CCTV and intrusion alarm systems together in one platform, sending a 7-second video clip via email or app in the event of an alarm for timely confirmation – 5 seconds of footage pre-alarm, and 2 seconds post-alarm. The technology enables extracting live video streams directly from the alarm control panel, with which cameras are connected.
WHAT’S THE BENEFITS?
Removing the Guessing Game
Traditional intrusion alarm systems don’t have a verification process. Alarms can be triggered by causes other than actual intruders. Responding to these false alarms can place a huge burden on home or business owners. And, due to high false alarm rates, law enforcement officers simply cannot prioritize timely responses. Through a verification process, Hikvision’s IVaaS Technology removes the guessing game in determining what caused an intrusion.
Providing Video as Evidence
Many alarm verification solutions on the market rely on low-quality static imagery or video feeds to confirm alarms. These, however, provide little detail when it’s needed. Hikvision’s IVaaS Technology provides high-quality video clips as forensic evidence, making it easier to apprehend a suspected intruder and recover losses.
Storing Recorded Video Safely
Intruders tend to damage cameras and detection equipment to disable CCTV and alarm systems, eliminating any available evidence. By installing a discreet alarm control panel, Hikvision’s IVaaS Technology becomes vandal-proof. Even if the intruder damages the intrusion detector, the camera, or the power system, a video clip of the very moment will be streamed and stored safely at the control panel.
Hikvision’s IVaaS Technology gives you the benefit of a fail-safe, smart security system with fewer false alarms and more valuable information. It is expertly designed for integration with 3rd-party IP cameras and offers a wide array of applications in residential and SMB scenarios.
February 23, 2022 – Hikvision, an IoT solution provider with video as its core competency, today announced a brand-new addition to its AX PRO alarm product line: the Wireless External Tri-tech Detector and (optional) dedicated camera module. This powerful intruder detection system provides a better image, more precise detection, and a handy modular design – all working to enhance alarm system capabilities for both homeowners and small businesses.
Tapping into the industry trend of using external passive infrared (PIR) detectors for video verification, the detector protects a property with innovative technology for precise detection and video verification.
Tri-tech innovation reduces false alarms
In these scenarios, false alarms are often triggered by anything from bad weather to leaves or branches to pets. The answer to dealing with these is to be able to identify them and ignore them as ‘non-threats’. As its name suggests, a tri-tech detector uses three sensors: a PIR sensor at the top, a microwave sensor, and another PIR sensor at the bottom. This means that it can detect at various heights, with a 15m and 90° adjustable detection area, more precisely identifying what is actually triggering the alarm.
Patented Independent Floating Threshold (IFT) technology allows the detectors to adjust their thresholds based on the environment infrared and background noise automatically and dynamically. This essentially reduces false alarms caused by background noise interference.
The detector uses digital temperature compensation to automatically adjust the alarm threshold according to environment. This also means it is much more resilient in bad weather conditions, and enables consistent detection throughout.
Any successful security systems is subject to attempts to overcome it. One of these is ‘masking’, where a potential criminal ‘covers’ the sensor(s), for example with a spray. The AX PRO device uses active IR anti-masking – the detector can initiate a mask-processing sequence to check whether it has been masked or not. The ‘operator’ receives an alarm and can act accordingly.
And there’s more
The optional camera module provides GIF verification, allowing the ‘operator’ to see an image of an ‘incident’ for visual verification. The module has a 2.0mm lens with adjustable angle and can provide up to 20 images with VGA/QVGA/QQVGA formats.
Other features include:
Pet immunity up to 40 kg
Waterproof to IP65 standard
Automatic sensitivity
Easy to install and cost-effective, with no power/network cables needed.
In a market where accurate intruder alerting is exploding and verification is becoming more important, the Tri-tech Detector can provide an innovative solution in a wide range of scenarios.
February 17, 2022 – Hikvision has launched its new TandemVu PTZ camera range, which integrates PTZ and bullet camera capabilities into a single unit. This means that TandemVu PTZ cameras can monitor large areas and zoom in on specific security incidents while maintaining focus on both ‘viewpoints’ simultaneously. These cameras eliminate the need to deploy separate PTZ and bullet cameras in pairs.
Features and benefits of the TandemVu PTZ cameras
The TandemVu technology features Hikvision’s next-generation camera design, integrating multiple lenses in one unit to provide big picture and small details in tandem. The new TandemVu PTZ cameras offer a range of benefits vs. deploying stand-alone PTZ cameras, or pairs of PTZ and bullet cameras mounted together. These include:
1) 100% security coverage with no ‘blind spots’
TandemVu PTZ cameras allow security teams to continue monitoring large areas with no interruptions, while simultaneously zooming in to monitor specific security incidents that occur. This ensures that there are never security blind spots related to PTZ zooming, tilting, or panning.
2) Extraordinary image performance
The cameras provide high-definition imaging with 2 x 4MP lenses and a super-wide view of 180°, with no image distortion (i.e., no curving of the image at the edges). Specifically, its bullet unit features Hikvision’s signature ColorVu technology, which provides crystal-clear, full-color imaging 24/7; while its PTZ unit employs Hikvision DarkFighter technology that enables excellent HD color images down to 0.0005 Lux – ensuring that every security incident is recorded in fine detail.
3) Optimized security based on smart automation
Engineered with intelligent AI, the cameras are able to differentiate between real security threats and innocent moving objects such as falling leaves, heavy rain, or animals moving. They can also differentiate vehicles and people and use smart linkages to check on trespassers as they move within the PTZ coverage, which is extremely useful for perimeter protection applications.
Customers can also rely on TandemVu PTZ cameras for more advanced security, thanks to its leading AI chipset that facilitates massive computing power. This allows more advanced deep learning algorithms available for complex scenarios, including automatic number plate recognition (ANPR), facial recognition, multi-target-type detection, and others.
4) Highly effective sound and light alarms
TandemVu PTZ cameras incorporate a Live-Guard solution using sound and light alarms that warn would-be trespassers before they enter a site or building. This can help to prevent security incidents, helping organizations to protect their people and assets.
5) PTZ and bullet capabilities in one unit for more efficiency and cost savings
TandemVu PTZ cameras significantly reduce installation, configuration, and maintenance costs vs. separate PTZ and bullet cameras. Procurement costs compared to deploying PTZ and bullet cameras side-by-side is also reduced dramatically. As a result, Hikvision customers can achieve major cost savings with TandemVu.
The new Hikvision TandemVu PTZ cameras
The new offerings are now grouped into two product families that are suitable for different application and scenarios.
Top of the range SF8C series provide two bullet lenses for maximum coverage with 180° panoramic view and colorful low-light imaging with Hikvision ColorVu technology. They further incorporate top-notch AI algorithms for advanced intelligence. The cameras offer 42x optical zoom capabilities to focus on security incidents close-up. SF8C cameras are suitable for highways, airports, railway stations, city squares, scenic places, and important infrastructure facilities such as power plants.

The cameras support up to 32x optical zoom, they are ideal for streets, industrial parks, farmland, and parking lots.
Perimeter protection plays a crucial role in any physical security system, whether protecting critical infrastructure, high-risk sites, commercial residential sites, retail spaces, or any other urban or remote location.
Over the past decade, advances in technology and hardware have vastly improved these perimeter security systems with developments in thermal network cameras, radar detection system, alarm sensors, and now even drones that accomplish unprecedented security tasks.
More recently, the development of advanced algorithms has helped to reduce false alarms that many of these devices trigger automatically. But consistent, reliable verification between true and false alarms was still lacking.
But now Hikvision offers diversified perimeter protection solutions which boast highly-effective false alarm reduction. Solutions range from deep learning algorithm-based video products, to thermometric cameras, alarm systems, and radar products.
Equipped with advanced algorithms, Hikvision’s Deep Learning Series products – including DeepinView network cameras, DeepinMind NVRs, AcuSense network cameras, and NVRs – offer sophisticated alarm activation by distinguishing people and vehicles from other moving objects, such as leaves, raindrops, shadows, and more. Today, a security staff can focus on real threats, saving time and manpower.
Installing thermal imaging cameras on a perimeter can provide a highly-effective technology tool for advanced detection, spotting intruders in adverse weather conditions such as fog, smog, rain and snow, and long after daylight has passed.
