Understanding the Benefits of AI Video Analytics in Commercial Property Security
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming CCTV from passive recording to proactive incident prevention. Two leaders—Hikvision and Hanwha Vision—ship cameras with onboard deep‑learning chips that filter noise and surface real threats. Here’s how their flagship technologies, DeepinView and WiseAI, deliver value for Australian commercial properties.
1. What Is AI Video Analytics?
AI video analytics use deep‑learning algorithms to recognise patterns—such as people, vehicles, or unusual behaviour—in live video streams. These insights drive real‑time alerts and forensic searches.
Term Explained – Deep Learning: A machine‑learning method where neural networks with many layers learn to identify objects or behaviours from large datasets.
2. Hikvision DeepinView Highlights
Hikvision DeepinView cameras feature:
Target Classification – Distinguish humans, vehicles, and pets, reducing false alarms by up to 90 %.
Attribute Search – Search archive for “white sedan” or “person with red shirt” in seconds.
Queue Management Analytics – Measure wait times in lobbies or retail check‑outs and export CSV reports.
3. Hanwha Vision WiseAI Strengths
WiseAI is Hanwha’s edge‑AI platform.
AI Mask Detection – Detects face covering or safety‑helmet compliance—ideal for industrial sites.
BestShot Cropping – Saves bandwidth by sending a cropped image of the detected object alongside the full stream.
AI‑Based PTZ Hand‑Over – Fixed camera detects a target, automatically hands off tracking to a PTZ camera.
4. Shared Benefits for Property Managers
| Benefit | How DeepinView & WiseAI Deliver |
|---|---|
| Reduced False Alarms | Edge AI filters out rain, shadows, and moving foliage. |
| Faster Searches | Attribute metadata tags footage, cutting review time from hours to minutes. |
| Operational Insights | Heatmaps show traffic flow, helping optimise store layouts or staffing. |
| Lower Storage | Smart codecs and BestShot reduce video retention costs. |
5. Deployment Considerations
VMS Compatibility – Both brands integrate with open platforms like Milestone XProtect via ONVIF and proprietary plug‑ins.
Edge vs. Server AI – On‑camera analytics reduce server costs but need sufficient PoE power and network bandwidth.
Cybersecurity – Enable HTTPS and firmware auto‑updates to protect AI features from exploitation.
