Feel Smart, Touch Smart

When talking about network cameras, people often refer to ‘smart’ cameras. But what exactly does that mean? Essentially, a ‘smart’ camera is capable of functioning in a way that seems like the human eye. For example, a ‘smart’ camera can detect that a person or vehicle is moving in a certain area, or that a person or vehicle has crossed a preset line.

These functions can be read in the camera's specifications, but how to perceive that they really work?

Let's take a closer look at the latest Smart Hybrid Light Camera, which recently became hugely popular. This camera is a great example. The ‘smart’ camera could automatically switch from infrared (IR) light to white light when a person or vehicle appears in the monitored area or triggers an event. This allows the camera to record color information. When a person or vehicle leaves, the camera switches back to infrared light, capturing black-and-white images while remaining concealed. By this means, can you feel the intelligence behind “smart” cameras?

What's more, if users set light and audible warnings, the camera will also emit lights and sounds when a person or vehicle is detected. Meanwhile, users can also receive notifications and recorded videos via the Hik-Connect app.

In this way, the intelligence of security cameras is no longer intangible. The ‘smart’ behind security cameras could be perceived and experienced.
