AcuPick: How Dahua Makes Finding Targets in CCTV Easy

AcuPick leverages artificial intelligence and image analysis to pinpoint, recognise, and monitor the trajectory of designated targets (people or vehicles) within live video streams. This advanced system empowers CCTV operators to efficiently sift through recorded footage by focusing solely on segments that align with predefined criteria, such as attire hue, object classification, or particular behavioural patterns.

Key Features of AcuPick

1. Quickly and Accurately Locate Target 

AcuPick 2.0 facilitates rapid target identification through a variety of pre-search methods:

• Intrusion/Tripwire Detection: Users can define custom intrusion zones or tripwires to swiftly locate video clips where objects or individuals breach these designated areas during both live and recorded footage.
• Intelligent Video Surveillance (IVS) Self-Learning: To minimise false alarms, AcuPick 2.0 incorporates self-learning capabilities within the IVS system. By manually marking and cataloguing false alarms, the system intelligently adapts to recurring false triggers, enhancing the accuracy of intrusion and tripwire detection.
• Attribute-Based Search: When the precise location or timing of a target is uncertain, AcuPick 2.0 enables users to search for targets based on specific attributes such as clothing colour, size, or other distinguishing characteristics.

These pre-search functionalities streamline the target location process, enabling users to efficiently pinpoint relevant video segments before initiating the advanced AcuPick tracking and analysis.

2. Rich Search Types 

AcuPick 2.0 offers a diverse range of search capabilities, encompassing humans, vehicles, and now, animals.

• Expanded Target Support: The inclusion of animal search functionality broadens the application scope of AcuPick 2.0, making it suitable for a wider array of security and surveillance needs.
• Face Recognition Integration: When integrated with face recognition capabilities available on NVR5-XI and NVR6-XI, AcuPick 2.0 can effectively identify and track individuals exhibiting suspicious behaviour. This integrated approach enhances security by providing real-time alerts upon the re-entry of previously identified individuals.

These enhanced search capabilities contribute to a more comprehensive and effective surveillance system.

3. Better Compatibility 

AcuPick 2.0 by NVR supports AI, integrates with third-party and Dahua cameras, and reduces thresholds and costs. AcuPick 2.0 also seamlessly integrates with third-party platforms via CGI/SDK, enhancing flexibility and scalability.

• AcuPick by NVR: AcuPick 2.0 supports AI by NVR, making it compatible with third-party cameras and Dahua general cameras. It can lower the threshold for use and help reduce construction costs.
• Compatible with Third-party Platforms: The AcuPick 2.0 function can seamlessly and deeply integrate with various third-party platforms by supporting open CGI/SDK. The compatibility upgrade significantly enhances AcuPick's flexibility and scalability, enabling it to fit broader application scenarios.

4. Easily Trackable 

AcuPick 2.0 enhances target tracking by:

• Visualising Movement Trajectories: Users can easily visualise and analyse the movement trajectories of identified targets on an interactive map. This visual representation facilitates rapid target location and identification.

This improved tracking functionality provides valuable insights into target movement patterns, aiding in investigations and security assessments.
