AI CCTV: Person and Vehicle Detection

New AI cameras aren't just "eyes" — they're intelligent systems that understand what they see. What do AI cameras offer and when is it worth it?

What does AI do in cameras?

• Person detection: Distinguishes people from animals — zero false alarms
• Vehicle detection: Reads license plates, tracks entries/exits
• Intruder alert: Alerts when someone enters outside hours
• Face recognition: Face-based entry system (optional)

Hikvision AcuSense — our top series

Hikvision's AcuSense series offers on-device AI, meaning no separate AI server is needed. 4MP cameras with AcuSense start from €59.

When is it worth it?

• Warehouses and office areas with restricted access
• Parking lots and garages
• Shops and supermarkets

When is it not?

If you simply need to see what's happening (not be alerted), standard cameras remain economical.
