Hikvision Expands Security AI Agents With Updated Guanlan

According to AI TIMES, Hikvision updated its large AI model "Guanlan" on September 17, expanding its functions beyond video security to an AI agent direction that handles search, storage, and system control. The overhaul is said to cut false alarms by up to 90% and reduce video storage requirements by up to 50%. The core idea is to go beyond finding objects and sounding alarms, and instead tie multiple steps in onsite operations into a single flow based on scene understanding. It also stands out for enabling users to search video with natural language, handle security rules, and carry out management tasks in a conversational way. The company also widened its use cases to include risk detection tailored to industrial sites and linked analysis of access and vehicle information. The development shows how competition in video analytics is shifting toward not only detection accuracy, but also storage efficiency, search convenience, and operational automation.
