AcuSearch: How to Find Anything in Your CCTV Footage

UNV's AcuSearch is a groundbreaking technology that streamlines video surveillance data analysis. It leverages AI and attribute-based video analysis to quickly and accurately pinpoint specific information within vast amounts of video footage. This significantly improves efficiency compared to manual searches, which can be time-consuming and laborious.

Overview

1. In one click, find the one you want 

UNV AcuSearch makes finding targets in video footage incredibly fast. Frame the target on the live or playback screen and click "search." AcuSearch delivers results within seconds, drastically reducing the time spent on investigations. This is a significant improvement over traditional methods that could take hours.

2. In seconds, search targets from massive data 

UNV AcuSearch leverages powerful computing to efficiently analyse target attributes in challenging environments. It can quickly compare this information against a massive amount of video data from multiple cameras, minimising the risk of errors and significantly reducing the time required to identify suspects.

3. Affordable and accessible solution 

UNV AcuSearch is an affordable and readily available technology integrated into UNV NVRs, making it accessible to small and medium-sized businesses. By enabling faster and more accurate suspect identification, AcuSearch helps businesses track criminals and illegal activities quickly.

Technology of AcuSearch

1. Brand new video targeted search 

UNV AcuSearch employs a groundbreaking approach to video target search. Users draw a box around the target object within the live or recorded video. The system then automatically identifies, classifies, and extracts key features of the target. By comparing this information with existing data, users can quickly access relevant historical information about the target. This innovative method significantly enhances search efficiency and provides a more user-friendly experience.

2. Intelligent data processing 

AcuSearch algorithms intelligently analyse both the overall characteristics and specific details of people and vehicles. This includes capturing fine-grained features like a person's hairstyle and hair colour, a vehicle's headlights, and the presence of a luggage rack. This meticulous attention to detail ensures highly accurate matching results, providing users with more reliable object recognition.

3. Add data analysis on NVR 

UNV AcuSearch fully utilises the capabilities of Network Video Recorders (NVRs) to conduct in-depth analysis of individuals and vehicles. By extracting key features and storing them in a database, it ensures a complete record of every detected person and vehicle. This comprehensive data source provides users with access to crucial information about their targets, minimising the risk of overlooking critical details.

How the AcuSearch Works 

AcuSearch operates in a few key steps. First, the target to be searched is identified. Then, the system extracts relevant data from the target, such as visual information or other characteristics. This extracted data is then compared against the information stored in the database to find matches. Finally, the search results, which may include the target's location or other relevant information, are displayed. This process outlines how AcuSearch effectively searches for targets from initial identification to the final output.

Applications of AcuSearch 

UNIVIEW’s AcuSearch technology is designed to increase efficiency in intelligent video and surveillance data search. It is ideal for use in locations such as Industrial Parks, Supermarkets, Campuses, and Parking Lots. Here’s why this technology is suitable for these locations:

1. Industrial Park 

In industrial parks, AcuSearch enhances security and efficiency. Its ability to analyse vast amounts of video footage and rapidly detect specific objects or events is crucial for maintaining a secure environment across large industrial areas. By quickly locating relevant footage of incidents in factories, warehouses, and production areas, security operators can significantly improve their operational efficiency.

2. Supermarket 

In supermarkets, AcuSearch plays a crucial role in both security and customer management. Analysing facial features or specific characteristics can identify and track individuals, aiding in the prevention and rapid resolution of theft or suspicious activity. Furthermore, AcuSearch can analyse customer traffic patterns, providing valuable insights for store management, such as optimising product placement and managing entry and exit routes.

3. Campus 

In campus environments, AcuSearch enhances security and facilitates efficient management. Tracking individuals' movements helps prevent potential security threats and allows for rapid retrieval of incident footage in emergencies. For campuses with multiple buildings and open areas, AcuSearch simplifies monitoring and investigation. It enables easy searching of data related to specific activities, aiding in both inquiries and enforcement actions.

4. Parking Lot 

In parking lots, AcuSearch significantly improves vehicle tracking and security. By analysing license plates or other visual characteristics, it efficiently monitors and locates vehicles, making it easy to find footage of vehicles entering or exiting the lot. This technology also enhances parking lot security by enabling rapid searches for footage of incidents like vehicle theft or collisions, allowing security personnel to respond swiftly.

AcuSearch's ability to quickly and accurately process data significantly enhances the efficiency and quality of surveillance in various locations. This technology improves security and facilitates investigations by enabling rapid analysis of video footage.
