Hikvision Acusense NVR Upgrade VS Acusense Camera Upgrade

[Marco Hill]

I hope everyone is doing well.

I am looking at upgrading a bunch of sites which have non-Acusense NVR/IP cameras.

There two ways one could do this I suppose.

1. Simply replace out existing non-Acusense NVR with an Acusense NVR (8, 16 or 32 channel).

I believe all connected Hikvision cameras would then be able to alarm through motion with human selection or this might limited in channels?

2. Leave the NVR as non-Acusense and replace out existing cameras with Acusense cameras. This would be more costly but would upgrade the quality of cameras in most cases and
guarantee Acusense tech to be used through all cameras connected to that NVR.

Replacing the NVR is going to be the easiest/most cost effective. One limitation will be that the AcuSense engine can only run one detection type - motion or perimeter protection, so once it’s set for motion, any line crossing/intrusion in use will use the standard non AcuSense event from the camera. Using it for perimeter there will be a restriction on the number of channels and camera resolution. All of that info is in the NVR data sheets but it’s not always easy to decipher.

Replacing cameras would be better performance wise as you can employ motion, line crossing, intrusion etc simultaneously in the camera without consideration of what’s in use on other channels.

Or there’s the AI box you’ve detailed in your other thread. Reading through that it’s a hardly a good advert for AcuSense cameras; it highlights where the camera will not work and the ai box will.

I read that too and thought the same thing...
