Hikvision has launched the latest generation Turbo HD Series - Turbo HD X, which is a complete system to help stop intruders in real-time, and avoiding damage and loss of property, from passive monitoring to active deterrence in a wide variety of applications
The Hikvision Turbo HD X series of cameras has a built-in detector that captures infrared light emitted by human bodies, distinguishing it from other visual ‘noise’. Once the camera detects a potential intruder, its built-in siren flashes red and blue light and a loud sound with the aim of frightening the intruder away.
The Turbo HD X series can support a broad range of perimeter protection and security system processes for in-process warning, and evidence collection after an event. It enables transformation of the traditional monitoring and post-event investigation approach, and helps to change perimeter protection from passive monitoring to active deterrence in order to protect people and assets. It can be used in warehouses, residences, jewellery stores and more.
An end-to-end system
More importantly, the Turbo HD X is a unified system, featuring front-end devices linking to back-end devices and a remote application. As the front-end alarm sends a warning to potential intruders, the system also triggers an alarm at the back-end, to notify security personnel. Users can also receive alarm information remotely, via an application on their mobile devices.
Better false-alarm reduction
Turbo HD X cameras can also be integrated with Hikvision’s AcuSense DVRs. The intelligent false-alarm reduction technology within these DVRs will disregard irrelevant movements picked up by the camera – such as rain, leaves and animals – and instead focus exclusively on human or vehicle movement. Together, this integrated solution dramatically reduces the number of false alarms, and ensures security staff focus on actual targets for greater efficiency.
All of this builds on the functionality that has been delivered by Hikvision’s Turbo HD DVRs and cameras since their launch in 2013. In addition to HD image clarity, the last six years of Turbo HD products have delivered a wealth of innovations to the market, including efficient bandwidth and storage usage and ultra-low-light video recording – all helping customers to enhance their security and perimeter protection.
