At the "Unlock AI, Unlock SMB Growth" event, part of the HikTech Star Tour 2025, held at Hikvision's campus in Hangzhou, China, the organization gathered its global SMB business partners to showcase advancements in AI technology endeavors.
Enhancing Video Security
Central to these new offerings are the Hikvision Guanlan Large-Scale AI Models, which enhance performance and intelligence within the company's product suite.
Vice President of Hikvision International Business Center, Derek Yang, emphasized the deepening commitment to the SMB sector: "We're transforming how technology serves as a growth accelerator for businesses. By infusing the power of Guanlan AI models into our products and tools, we are enabling partners to deliver superior value to their customers while operating more efficiently."

AI continues to redefine video security, enabling installers to provide enhanced services to their customers. The AcuSeek NVRs provide smarter video search functionalities, allowing users to type descriptions like "person wearing a red top" for immediate footage retrieval, thus reducing the manual review time. Users can also set up custom alerts, such as "a person riding a motorcycle," for more flexible monitoring solutions.
DeepinViewX Cameras offer improved accuracy in video analytics by significantly reducing false alarms and doubling detection range for perimeter security. These cameras employ advanced AI algorithms for precise object and event analysis, facilitating customizable AI applications in business operations.
Furthermore, the integration of HikAI-ISP technology into ColorVu 3.0 and AI Pro PTZ Cameras ensures clearer imaging, with enhanced color reproduction and motion detail in challenging conditions.
AI Access Control Advancements
The event also unveiled AI-powered access control technologies, designed to provide safer and faster access solutions for residential, office, and transport settings.
TalkVu Video Intercoms offer high-resolution video and audio, while Prime Pass Speed Gates employ Time-of-Flight sensors to prevent unauthorized access.
The Quick Pass Vehicle Solution boasts over 98% accuracy in license plate recognition, and Security Inspection Systems offer a 98.8% detection rate for prohibited items.
