AcuSeek – Search CCTV Footage Using Natural Language
The defining technology of the VPro platform is:
Hikvision AcuSeek
Traditional CCTV investigation often requires an operator to identify the correct camera, select a timeframe and manually review substantial amounts of recorded video.
AcuSeek changes this workflow by allowing users to search compatible recorded footage using descriptive natural language.
Searches can be based around descriptions such as:
- Person Wearing Particular Clothing
- Person Carrying an Object
- Vehicle with Particular Characteristics
- Person Appearing in a Particular Area
- Other Visually Describable Targets
The system uses AI-powered text-image understanding to identify targets corresponding with the entered description.
For a 32-camera surveillance system, this can provide a significant improvement in investigation efficiency.
Hikvision Guanlan Large-Scale AI Models
AcuSeek is powered by:
Hikvision Guanlan Large-Scale AI Models
Guanlan provides cross-modal understanding between:
Text + Video Images
Rather than relying exclusively on predefined event filters, the system can interpret a natural-language description and compare it with compatible recorded video targets.
This creates a more intuitive method of investigating surveillance footage.
Search by Text
Hikvision describes AcuSeek as introducing:
Search by Text
to CCTV investigation.
Instead of knowing the exact time or camera where an event occurred, an operator can describe what they are looking for and use AI-assisted search to locate potential matches.
This is particularly valuable across large multi-camera systems where manually reviewing footage from dozens of cameras could otherwise take substantial time.
Up to 32-Channel AcuSeek
When compatible Hikvision AcuSense cameras support and have the required AcuSearch functionality enabled, the NVR supports:
AcuSeek Across All 32 Channels
This allows AI-assisted natural-language investigation across the full camera capacity of the recorder.
AcuSearch
The recorder also supports:
Hikvision AcuSearch
AcuSearch allows an operator to identify a human or vehicle target and search recorded footage for matching appearances.
Potential applications include investigations involving:
- Theft
- Trespassing
- Suspicious Activity
- Vehicle Incidents
- Property Damage
- Unauthorised Access
- Workplace Incidents
- Security Events
AcuSeek vs AcuSearch
The two technologies provide complementary investigation tools.
AcuSeek
Search by entering a natural-language description of a target.
AcuSearch
Select an identified human or vehicle target and search for matching appearances.
Together, AcuSeek and AcuSearch can significantly improve investigation efficiency across a large CCTV system.
Up to 300,000 Targets Per Day
With compatible AcuSense cameras and supported functionality enabled, the NVR can model up to:
300,000 Targets Per Day
for AcuSeek and AcuSearch applications.
This makes the recorder particularly suitable for busy commercial environments generating substantial volumes of video activity.
Dual AI Engines
The VPro platform incorporates:
2 AI Engines
The architecture allocates dedicated processing resources for:
- Face Picture Processing & AcuSearch
- AcuSeek
This provides the processing capability required for advanced AI-assisted video investigation.
Facial Recognition
The recorder supports facial recognition functions including:
- Face Picture Comparison
- Human Face Capture
- Face Picture Search
The NVR supports up to:
8 Channels of Face Picture Comparison
and up to:
4 Channels of Human Face Capture
under supported configurations.
Face Picture Libraries
The DS-7732NXI-I4/16P/VPro supports up to:
16 Face Picture Libraries
with up to:
50,000 Face Pictures in Total
This provides substantial capacity for compatible facial-recognition applications.
Facial recognition must be used in accordance with applicable privacy and surveillance requirements.
Advanced Intelligent Analytics
Depending on connected cameras and system configuration, supported intelligent functionality includes:
- AcuSeek
- AcuSearch
- Facial Recognition
- Face Capture
- Perimeter Protection
- Motion Detection 2.0
- Video Structuralisation
- ANPR
- People Counting
Some intelligence is provided by the recorder while other functionality requires compatible camera-side analytics.
ANPR Support
When connected to compatible Hikvision ANPR cameras, the recorder supports vehicle and number-plate information.
Supported camera-generated attributes can include:
- Plate Number
- Licence Plate Colour
- Licence Plate Type

Advanced AI functionality depends on camera compatibility.
16 Built-In PoE Camera Ports
The /16P version incorporates:
16 × Built-In PoE Camera Interfaces
This allows up to sixteen compatible PoE cameras to connect directly to the recorder.
PoE carries:
- Camera Power
- Network Data
- Video

- Intelligent Event Information
over compatible Ethernet cabling.
This provides straightforward plug-and-play connectivity for the first sixteen compatible PoE cameras.
Expanding Beyond 16 Direct PoE Cameras
An important distinction with this model is:
32 Recording Channels + 16 Built-In PoE Ports
The NVR can record up to 32 IP cameras, but only sixteen cameras can connect directly to its built-in PoE interfaces.
For installations requiring more than sixteen cameras, additional cameras can be connected through the site's network using suitable external network infrastructure such as compatible PoE switches.
This provides excellent flexibility for larger surveillance installations.
Up to 32MP Recording Resolution
The recorder supports recording resolutions including:
- 32MP
- 24MP
- 12MP
- 8MP
- 7MP
- 6MP
- 5MP
- 4MP
- 3MP
- 1080p
- Lower Supported Resolutions
This provides compatibility with a wide range of high-resolution professional IP cameras.
384Mbps Incoming Bandwidth
The DS-7732NXI-I4/16P/VPro provides:
384Mbps Incoming Bandwidth
This high bandwidth is particularly important for large multi-camera installations using high-resolution cameras.
Camera configuration should consider:
