Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming video surveillance in 2025, turning traditional CCTV from passive recording tools into intelligent security systems capable of instant analysis, precise detection, and natural language search. Industry leaders Hikvision, Dahua, and Wisenet are at the forefront, each bringing unique AI-powered features that help organizations secure their environments more efficiently than ever before.
For businesses, schools, councils, and homeowners in Australia, CCTV Tradie is making these advanced systems accessible with expert installation, tailored advice, and local support.
The Shift: From Video Recording to Intelligent Surveillance
In the past, CCTV systems relied heavily on manual review. Locating an incident meant scrubbing through hours of footage — a slow, resource-draining process. The latest AI-powered Network Video Recorders (NVRs) change that by:
-
Understanding human language for search.
-
Analyzing video in real time.
-
Delivering second-level search results.
-
Reducing false alarms to less than 1%.
CCTV Tradie supplies and installs Hikvision, Dahua, and Wisenet NVRs with full configuration, ensuring you get maximum performance from day one.
Hikvision AcuSeek NVRs: Type It, See It Instantly
Hikvision’s AcuSeek is powered by a Large Multimodal Model (LMM), mapping both images and natural language into a shared vector space. This enables:
-
Natural language search: e.g., “a man in a red jacket carrying a bag.”
-
Feature-based retrieval: find objects by color, model, or activity.
-
Second-level search results for rapid incident review.
-
High-precision detection by aligning visual and semantic data.
CCTV Tradie offers the full range of Hikvision AcuSeek NVRs, backed by professional setup and training so your security team can use these advanced AI features effectively from day one.
