📹 Hikvision DS-7216HUHI-M1/X – AcuSense Smart Search Example

Imagine you manage a busy warehouse or commercial gate where people and vehicles move throughout the day. One morning, staff report that a package was moved from a restricted area sometime last night. You have hours of footage, but you don’t want to watch every second — this is where AcuSearch makes the difference.

📍 Scenario: A package was moved near the rear loading door at around midnight, and you want to see exactly who was there.

◆ First, open the AcuSearch tool on the recorder or remote software.
◆ Next, set the time range to cover the hours when the incident most likely occurred (for example, 10:00 PM to 3:00 AM).
◆ Then choose the object type you are interested in — in this case “human” because you want to find people, not cars or animals.
◆ After that, draw a search region around the rear loading door area on the video snapshot or live view frame — this tells the system exactly where to look.
◆ The DVR then analyzes all the recorded video in that time and zone using its deep learning filters to find clips where a person entered that designated area during the selected hours.

Instead of fast-forwarding through hours of recordings, you now see a short list of clips where a human appeared in that area at the relevant time. The system ignores unrelated motion like shadows, rain, or forklift movement in other parts of the frame.

This means you can isolate the exact event — who approached the package and when — in seconds instead of hours, saving time and giving you clear, actionable evidence.
