Embedded SSD

eSSD (embedded Solid-State Drive) is a chip-level storage with high integration, ultra-low power consumption and specially developed and designed technology. The eSSD applied in Hikvision DVRs are integrated with Hikvision’s data management technology.

eco-friendly

The EDVR is designed to be environmentally friendly and features several eco-friendly elements. The device’s low power consumption with eSSD and smart fan design make it energy-efficient and noiseless during operation. Additionally, the EDVR’s packaging materials are fully recycled, reducing its environmental impact and enhancing its sustainability. These eco-friendly features not only reduce energy consumption and lower operational costs but also contribute to a cleaner environment.

enduring storage

H.265-based scene-adaptive bitrate coding by Hikvision is applied on eDVRs to ensure sufficient storage and quality video compression.

Axis Communications proudly announces the launch of the ARTPEC-9, the 9th generation of its purpose-built system-on-chip (SoC). Designed in-house, ARTPEC-9 refines the advanced capabilities that have defined its predecessors—delivering exceptionally low bitrate, AI-powered analytics, superior imaging, and enhanced cybersecurity.

In a groundbreaking development for network video, ARTPEC-9 introduces support for the AV1 video encoding standard, developed by the Alliance for Open Media (AOM). When paired with Axis Zipstream, this innovation enables significant reductions in storage costs without compromising forensic detail.

“ARTPEC-9, with its industry-first support for AV1, allows for attractive bitrate and extended client compatibility. It’s really a win for the industry,” says Johan Paulsson, Chief Technology Officer at Axis Communications. “The keywords are ‘easy access’ and ‘open,’ which align perfectly with our commitment to innovating for a smarter, safer world. Plus, like all our SoCs, ARTPEC-9 is purpose-built for high-quality network video. And, as always, we retain complete control of the SoC production process.”

Key Features of ARTPEC-9

Enhanced Imaging

ARTPEC-9 advances Axis’s renowned imaging technologies, including Axis Lightfinder and Axis Forensic WDR, integral components of Axis Scene Intelligence. These tools ensure exceptional video clarity and improve analytics performance, even in challenging lighting conditions.

Advanced Cybersecurity

With Axis signed OS and secure boot, ARTPEC-9 strengthens cybersecurity measures. Its in-house design allows Axis to maintain full control of the production process, ensuring a higher level of security and integrity.

Next-Generation AI Analytics

ARTPEC-9 ushers in a new era of advanced AI analytics with enhanced capabilities:

• Improved detection range for smaller objects.
• Higher accuracy and earlier triggers for actionable insights.
• Support for nuanced analytics with recognition of a wider array of object classes for more detailed classification.

Introducing AV1 Video Encoding

Axis sets a new standard with the integration of AV1 video encoding for the surveillance industry. This open video standard delivers:

• High-quality video with exceptional detail and clarity.
• Reduced bandwidth and storage needs, thanks to seamless integration with Axis Zipstream.

AV1 is already supported by AXIS Camera Station, and major video management solutions (VMS) like Genetec and Milestone are expected to introduce compatibility soon.

What This Means for Surveillance

ARTPEC-9’s combination of AI-powered analytics, AV1 support, and enhanced image processing ensures high-quality, low-bitrate video that meets both on-premises and cloud surveillance needs. The result is smarter, more efficient, and cost-effective security solutions.

Axis will begin integrating ARTPEC-9 into select network video products starting early 2025.

Hik-Connect 6, the robust security management software, continues to evolve and improve.

Created to offer comprehensive security solutions, Hik-Connect 6 now features two new enhancements that expand its capabilities. With updates ranging from more flexible permission controls to advanced video viewing and searching tools, the latest version ensures that security management is more efficient, intuitive, and reliable than ever.

Here’s a summary of the key improvements:

More flexible and efficient permission controls
Managing user permissions can be challenging, especially in large organizations. Hik-Connect 6 tackles this by offering more flexible and efficient controls. Instead of assigning permissions solely based on roles, administrators can now configure system rights individually. This provides the ability to set specific permissions for each user, offering greater flexibility and ensuring each team member has the right level of access. This update makes it easier to customize security settings to the unique needs of an organization, enhancing both security and productivity.

Enhanced video viewing & searching
Quick and easy access to video footage is essential for effective security management. Hik-Connect 6 enhances this with more intuitive video playback and faster footage retrieval. The update introduces smooth drag-and-drop functionality for video playback within the app, along with thumbnail previews for local recordings on both the portal and app. These improvements make it simpler to navigate through video footage, enabling users to quickly find and review important incidents.
