AcuSeek - faster, smarter video search

At OSS, we're not just watching technology evolve - we're actively implementing it. One of the most exciting innovations we've been working with this year is Hikvision's AcuSeek AI video search.

AcuSeek represents a genuine step forward in how CCTV footage can be used day to day. Traditionally, reviewing video meant scrolling through hours of footage to find a single moment. With AcuSeek, that changes completely. You can now search video using plain language - describing what you're looking for, and the system returns matching footage in seconds.

This is made possible by advanced AI that understands both text and images together. In simple terms, it doesn't just record video - it understands what's happening in it. That means faster results, fewer false leads, and far less time spent manually reviewing footage.

In practical terms, AcuSeek delivers:

Speed - hours of footage searched in seconds. Simplicity - no specialist training needed. Accuracy - clearer results with less noise.

Crucially, all of this intelligence runs locally on the system, not in the cloud. That keeps data on-site, avoids subscription fees, and maintains strong privacy controls. At the same time, these systems can still integrate with cloud platforms for management, alerts, and oversight, giving you the best of both worlds.

Hikvision's AcuSeek AI video search changes how security is approached - turning CCTV from a reactive tool into a fast, searchable source of insight.
