AI CCTV: Person and Vehicle Detection
April 10, 2026·Gjergj Prela, Lead Engineer
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.
