Why it matters on site
AcuSense classification runs at the recorder, not the camera, so it works with standard HDTVI/AHD/CVI cameras already on a job — no need for AI-capable camera hardware to get reduced false alarms. Quick search by object or event type speeds up footage review, useful when reviewing multiple channels after an incident.
Suited to small retail, residential or perimeter jobs needing 4 analogue channels plus headroom for a handful of IP cameras, without stepping up to an NVR-only design.
