Keeping your home or business safe is easier when your CCTV system is smart, fast, and reliable. Hikvision’s AcuSeek NVR promises exactly that, using advanced AI technology to make reviewing footage quicker and more efficient than ever.
In this review, we’ll break down what makes the AcuSeek NVR stand out, and whether it’s worth considering for your security setup.

What exactly is it?
The AcuSeek NVR is a network video recorder powered by Hikvision’s proprietary Guanlan AI models. These large-scale AI models allow the system to interpret video footage in ways that traditional recorders can’t. For example, you can search by keywords or phrases, like “person on a phone,” “white van,” or “child with a backpack”, and the system will quickly pull up relevant clips.
This “search by text” feature is designed to save hours of manually reviewing footage, making investigations faster and more accurate.
Key Features
- Search Broadly: Covers people, vehicles, pets, and even unusual scenarios like missing helmets or wheeled suitcases.
- Search Accurately: AI understands complex descriptions to reduce false detections.
- Search Instantly: Finds footage within seconds, even from large video libraries.
- Search Flexibly: Shortcuts for common searches like “Find People” or “Find Vehicles,” plus custom search phrases with minimal training required.
Who Can Benefit?
The Hikvision AcuSeek NVR is ideal for a wide range of applications beyond traditional business use. For home security, it helps quickly locate missing items or monitor unusual activity. In traffic management, it can track scooters, motorcycles, and other vehicles in restricted areas, while in community service, it supports locating lost pets and enhancing public safety. Its AI-powered search capabilities make reviewing footage fast, accurate, and efficient, saving valuable time during investigations.
