Hikvision announces PowerX 2.0 series with AI-driven storage optimization
Hikvision has announced the upcoming release of its PowerX 2.0 series, a next-generation digital video recorder (DVR) featuring proprietary Guanlan AI Encoding technology. Scheduled for rollout in Japan starting June 2026, the series aims to address rising storage costs and the increasing price of hard disk drives (HDDs) in the security industry.
Guanlan AI Encoding utilizes a large-scale AI model to differentiate between critical targets, such as people and vehicles, and static backgrounds. By maintaining high resolution for important subjects while aggressively compressing low-motion areas, the technology can reduce HDD capacity requirements by 30% to 50% on average. Unlike some proprietary high-compression formats, Guanlan is built on the H.265 standard, ensuring compatibility with third-party platforms and standard video players.
A recent survey conducted by asmag.com and Hikvision highlights a growing demand for such solutions, with approximately 38.2% of respondents identifying video storage costs as a major business challenge. The PowerX 2.0 series also includes AI-driven features like ‘AcuSearch’ for rapid target retrieval and ‘Smart Search’ to minimize false alarms by focusing on specific boundary crossings.
