Hikvision Perimeter security

Increasingly, education institutions, from schools to universities, are harnessing new digital technologies to ensure students are always safe on campus. Here, AI-powered education solutions have a key role to play, providing automated alerts when students are in danger, and ensuring that only authorized visitors access the campus. Traditionally, teachers and other staff have been responsible for keeping students safe on campus by simply paying attention to incidents that happen around them. However, it is impossible for a relatively small team of teaching staff to constantly check on hundreds, or sometimes thousands, of students across large campuses with multiple indoor and outdoor areas. Additionally, schools, colleges and universities need to ensure that authorized visitors, such as students’ parents, can access the campus quickly and easily, while ensuring that strangers never come into contact with students.  To keep students safe, many education institutions are turning to the latest digital technologies – and smart education solutions in particular. With AI-powered solutions, alerts can be triggered in real time when students are in a dangerous situation, or if a stranger or other unauthorized visitors attempts to enter the campus.  With access to real-time insights, teachers and other members of staff can do more to help. They can react quickly in the event of an incident or accident, and they can provide the help and support students need as quickly as possible to minimize negative impacts.  4 key ways education solutions can increase student safety and wellbeing 1. Alert school staff in real time in the event of a perimeter breach The latest generation of AI-powered solutions sends alerts in real time if unauthorized people breach the campus perimeter. With the ability to distinguish between human beings, and other moving objects such as animals, falling leaves and heavy rain, these kinds of solutions minimize false alarms and help security teams to focus on, and prevent, genuine intrusion incidents.  2. Deny access to unauthorized visitors  With AI-powered solutions for education, institutions can distinguish between authorized and unauthorized visitors to school or college buildings. This is achieved using smart onboard algorithms that recognize visitors, such as students’ parents and visiting officials, and grant them immediate access to the institution. These same systems also deny entry to people who are not recognized by the system, sending alerts to staff members in real time to enable fast, effective security responses. Additionally, these types of solutions can grant visitors access to certain areas of the campus for specified time periods, further helping to increase student security.   3. Keep students safe on their way to school While campus security is paramount, parents also expect their children to be kept safe on the way to school. This requires smart solutions onboard school buses that ensure students get on where they should, that they travel to school without incident, and that they enter the campus safely. To achieve this, the solutions need to recognize students and ensure that they board the bus at their designated stop and arrive safely at school.  4. Understand the popular areas on campus  Another benefit for schools, colleges and universities is that smart video solutions provide a greater understanding of which areas of the campus are popular with students at different times of the day. AI algorithms in smart cameras can help with this by counting students in specific areas such as classrooms, corridors, cafeterias or gyms. The reports that are generated can enable management teams to understand which parts of the campus are popular and which are not which, in turn, can help them evolve student communications or even adapt the campus accordingly. Such reports can also ensure compliance with fire and evacuation protocols, while also minimizing the risk of injury and the other potential risks associated with crowding in small areas.

Hikvision, an IoT solution provider with video as its core competency, announced the launch of HeatPro, a new thermal series of cameras designed to provide affordable all-weather deterrent and alerts. It is especially useful in perimeter protection and fire prevention applications. The HeatPro Series Cameras feature deep-learning thermal video analytics for perimeter protection, and object temperature measurement and fire detection with real-time alarms. Features like accurate human/vehicle classification, visual and auditory alarms for perimeter protection, and speedy temperature exception alarms for fire prevention make them ideal for SMB (small and midsize business) applications. Perimeter defense with AIWhen securing a perimeter, higher accuracy and a low false alarm rate can help reduce operation costs. The HeatPro Series achieves this by developing powerful video analytics based on Deep Learning algorithms, radically reducing false alarms. The cameras focus on short-range perimeter protection (0-50meters), where they deliver target detection and classification. The use of AI means that the cameras can distinguish between a person and a vehicle. This comes in especially useful when the two targets are close together. Traditionally, they can only be recognised as one ‘target’, but intelligent algorithms mean that they can be detected separately, increasing accuracy. Thermal cameras are also able to easily locate potential threats in zero visibility conditions, where a conventional camera could not. They do this by detecting the latent radiation emissivity of an object, so not relying on visible light. This means they can operate in all-weather conditions and the darkest night. They also don’t emit light, which means their presence is not obvious, making them useful in scenarios where they need to be hidden. The HeatPro Series is also designed to be efficiently and quickly installed, with a simple, three-step deployment, bringing setup time down to 30 seconds. Traditionally thermal cameras require specialist engineers to configure and double check, takes both extra time and energy. HeatPro cameras have been designed with installation time and effort in mind – they are simpler to install and so installers can spend more time correctly configuring for optimum operations, and the lowest false alarm rate possible. Temperature measurement for fire preventionThe HeatPro Series is also equipped with the ability to measure temperature. This process is very useful in a scenario where overheating could lead to fires. The camera can provide non-contact temperature measurement for fast and visible detection. This means that action can be taken earlier, potentially preventing a fire from the very beginning. The camera can trigger a fire alarm faster than a smoke sensor. The temperature measurement function can also be used to help check any potential overheating issue and troubleshoot problems. The series contains a number of different models and options, with bullet and turret forms, and Bi-spectrum or single lenses. The cameras can be built into a number of solutions, for instance seamlessly working with NVRs, AX PRO alarm systems, and even Hik-Connect for real-time mobile alerts by phone. They can be used in various scenarios – not least: residential buildings, offices, construction sites, car parks, retail outlets and warehouses. “Dedicated to bringing professional protection solutions to the mass market, these cameras provide perimeter protection with unparalleled accuracy, and fire detection with superlative sensitivity”, says Stefan Li, Director of Thermal Products at Hikvision. “Hikvision HeatPro Series provides professional protection made simple.”

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-colour camera range with ColorVu technology. This offers a much better visual experience than traditional cameras, providing accurately rendered colour images with balanced brightness at all times of the day or night. The camera range with ColorVu technology includes 4k cameras for UHD experience and varifocal cameras for unparalleled clarity. These innovations allow organisations 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 can capture high-definition, full-colour 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 colourful 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 colour 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, harbours, 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 The ability to capture clear, full-colour images 24x7 is useful for a wide range of indoor and outdoor scenarios. Examples include: 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 colour video footage even in low-light conditions, which helps to increase security and enables much faster responses to incidents. 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 24x7 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. 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 can capture high-resolution, full-colour images 24x7, 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. Increased security at building entrances High-resolution, full colour 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 another security incident. These examples are the tip of the iceberg in terms of how and where cameras with ColorVu technology can be deployed to boost security and protect people and assets.
