Upgrades in perimeter protection and Motion Detection 3.0 enhance accuracy and reduce false alarms caused by stationary vehicles at night, optimizing performance for various applications. Audio 2.0: Enhanced Sound QualityThe cameras also feature Audio 2.0 for improved sound reception. The dual-mic design ensures excellent noise reduction and vocal clarity, while a Smart PA Speaker amplifies alerts and facilitates two-way audio communication, making it suitable for larger, complex environments. Motorization 2.0: User-Friendly Dome DesignThe PTRZ cameras introduce a transparent cover design with motorized adjustments, eliminating manual tuning and contamination risks. The 5-axis adjustment ensures clear imagery around the clock. “Hikvision is committed to delivering high-quality products for small and medium businesses,” said Hikvision’s product manager. “With the ColorVu 3.0 upgrades, we meet customer demands for quality while supporting business success.” The upgraded anti-corrosion protection and environmentally friendly packaging further enhance customer experience and sustainability efforts.

HikCentral Professional 2.0 security software (“HCP 2.0”)
HikCentral Professional 2.0 security software (“HCP 2.0”)

Hikvision launched newly updated HikCentral Professional 2.0 security software (“HCP 2.0”), which blends feeds from multiple systems onto a single platform. HCP 2.0 can be configured to link video security devices, alarm and access control systems, and more, including third-party systems through the OpenAPI – for easy centralized management of a variety of security and business applications. Frank Zhang, President of Hikvision’s International Product and Solution Center, said, “This is an important release for us, and a significant leap forward in our security management software offerings. HikCentral Professional 2.0 will help our customers manage a variety of activities seamlessly on one platform. We’re excited to see the value it delivers.” Nine key applications for numerous business needs HikCentral Professional 2.0 integrates multiple business and security systems with nine key applications, making it valuable to a wide variety of common security and business scenarios seen in buildings, factories, stores, apartments, and the like. Among them, video cameras and security alarms are integrated into the platform to deliver fluid live viewing and timely alarm notifications. Furthermore, access control can be included to assign a variety of access permissions using multiple methods including facial recognition, ID cards, fingerprints, QR codes, and more. HCP 2.0 also allows various personnel such as HR managers to set flexible attendance rules, including schedules for shift work, while delivering full reporting facilities. Additionally, site managers can also employ vehicle management and visitor management applications to streamline entrance management as well as on-site parking. Users can further rely on HCP 2.0 with intelligent analysis and reporting – an application that collects data and transforms it into easy-to-understand reports and dashboards. This includes flow status, people density and more. For systems management teams, HCP 2.0’s system maintenance application visualizes alarm and device notifications, as well as the full network and device topology for rapid, targeted action in unusual events. Last but not least, HCP 2.0 lets users deploy digital signage systems to display advertisements and announcements. The software comes with eight pre-installed templates for users to present content optimally. This can be crowd numbers and temperature status in a supermarket scenario, for example. Creating truly unified systems with enhanced security and greater operational efficiency With HCP 2.0, users will flexibly unite applications and build a tailored system to match their security and business needs. The unified approach not only creates greater situational awareness of their security environment, it also reduces real day-to-day management resources previously required by disparate systems. For example, users can integrate visitor management with vehicle management to enhance daily operational efficiency for building facilities. Facility managers can register visitor information into the HCP 2.0 system, and – by linking to an ANPR system – can set visitors to be automatically permitted into on-site parking. Similarly, the system can also pre-authorize visitor access to specific areas of an organization’s premises. Personalized user experience HikCentral Professional 2.0 can be tailored to deliver specific information to assigned users. The system comes with three pre-configured roles: “system installation and management,” “security control and management,” and “attendance management.” In this way, HR staff can customize their feed to show employee attendance status, for example, while management staff can monitor security of the facilities. There is also one custom role, which can be tailored to specific needs. Perhaps most importantly, HikCentral Professional 2.0 features an improved user interface. Users can customize the control panel to suit their viewing preferences, simply dragging and dropping key video and device feeds into the dashboard, adjusting where they sit and how they look. Dynamic and intuitive user interface HCP 2.0 also incorporates multiple visualized dashboards that display key security and business insights generated from various applications, facilitating decision-making processes with more accuracy and efficiency. What’s more, users apply 3D E-maps that vividly demonstrate device monitoring statuses in different locations, and manage instant alerts interactively by clicking and watching associated live videos and other integrated system information. Easy setup and maintenance HikCentral Professional 2.0 is easy to deploy and quick to set up for a multitude of projects with single applications. Customers with minimum system requirement of Intel i3-CPU and 8 GB RAM can get up and running with a one-click installation procedure that makes HCP 2.0 setup a breeze. Operations guidance wizards are conspicuously displayed to support users in configuring key applications. In addition, the visualized health monitoring dashboards enable more focused and efficient IT maintenance.

Conversations are crystal clear thanks to intelligent noise reduction which isolates human voices by filtering ambient sounds. High-powered 2W speakers ensure that the sound quality is strong and immersive. People can comfortably talk over long distances, meanwhile, thanks to the generous 3m intercom pickup and the greater 5m pickup used at the remote end.  Compact dual-lens cameras with stitching technologyTurbo HD 8.0 introduces a new dual-lens camera that uses proprietary image-stitched technologies to deliver seamless, 180-degree, stitched images. These images remain vivid and colourful at all times of the night, as well as the day, thanks to its large F1.0 aperture and high-sensitivity sensors. The new camera also introduces a more compact design. This makes the new camera more discreet, and more aesthetically suitable for small and medium businesses. Smart Hybrid Light in allSmart Hybrid Light technology enhances the night vision experience and has now been extended across the entire range of cameras in the Turbo HD 8.0 range. The Smart Hybrid Light cameras have a wide F1.6 aperture and can capture colour images at critical events when a person or a vehicle appears. Even better night images can be captured using advanced Smart Hybrid Light cameras with ColorVu technology, a larger F1.0 aperture, later supplemental light turn-on time, Super Confocal Lens, and a BSI high sensitivity sensor.  Upgraded intelligence with advanced pro-series DVRThe new Turbo HD 8.0 range includes an advanced pro-series DVR with AcuSense. This expands the intelligent channel support and improves performance for perimeter protection. It also integrates smart technologies including facial recognition, Motion Detection 2.0, and perimeter protection in a single DVR for varied security requirements. The new DVR will be updated soon to include the AcuSearch function, enabling precise target search with a single click for improved video searching efficiency. The revolutionary HD Turbo 8.0 products are the latest example of Hikvision’s commitment to constant technological innovation and development. In 2018, ColorVu and AcuSense technologies were introduced to deliver 24/7 colour imaging and smart recognition. The following year, PIR Live Guard alarms were added in Turbo HD X. Hikvision will continue to innovate technology to bring new values and experiences to users in the future.
