False alarm filters are one of the most intelligent features of modern surveillance systems. Designed to filter out movements from things like rain, leaves and animals, these systems focus on movements by relevant objects like people or vehicles. This prevents time and costs being wasted on non-threatening events.

Saving time and cost is important for Small and Medium-Sized Businesses (SMBs), the question is, how can they access such innovative technology in the most cost-effective way possible?

Hikvision’s EasyIP 4.0 security solution features intelligent false alarm filters within its Acusense NVR and IP camera ranges. Currently, a Hikvision Acusense NVR supports up to four camera channels with false alarm filter.

According to the company, Hikvision Acusense-enabled devices can filter out false alarms with an average of 90% accuracy. What’s more, the Acusense Quick Target Search feature saves time by identifying footage of people and vehicles automatically, avoiding staff having to search through footage manually. Add in Hikvision’s Colorvu IP cameras, which provide full colour, vivid images even at night, allows customers to take advantage of false alarm filter around the clock.

For SMBs looking to access these features in the most efficient way, Hikvision’s cameras and/or NVRs can be added to their existing surveillance system, to provide reliable false alarm filter capabilities while protecting their investment.

When it comes to analogue surveillance systems, it is not a conundrum if customers ask to add false alarm filters to their existing system. They can easily replace with an Acusense DVR from Hikvision’s Turbo HD 5.0 product range, which makes the very most of legacy cabling. Accordingly, the system will be able to perform false alarm filters and quick target search across up to four channels. If customers have the requirement for more than four channels, they can either add extra Acusense DVRs or Hikvision Acusense network cameras.

With Hikvision, SMBs can take advantage of state-of-the-art surveillance systems in a way that suits their business needs and their budget. Equally important, the solution options can help system integrators and installers engage in new conversations with their customers.
