Hikvision’s market-leading innovations include self-learning Artificial Intelligence (AI), deployable across a wide range of vertical market sectors. On demonstration will be queue and crowd management, a powerful new Video Management System (VMS), DarkFighter ‘low-light’ superior technology, and thermal imaging powered by Artificial Intelligence (AI) – as well as a host of other technological advances for a multitude of applications and environments. Hikvision’s stand will highlight the intruder alarm solutions of Pyronix, and feature additional technology partners who will show ‘value add’ features that compliment Hikvision solutions to provide an enhanced level of performance or a greater return on investment for the end user.

The power of AI

Visitors to stand D300 will see firsthand how AI is revolutionising the surveillance technology landscape, with Hikvision demonstrating a variety of new products in its AI Series:
