Hikvision's Groundbreaking Guanlan Encoding Technology

Hikvision, a leading provider of video surveillance products and solutions, has recently launched its innovative Guanlan Encoding technology. This AI-powered video compression system promises to provide substantial savings on storage space, reaching up to 50% while maintaining the quality of critical video recordings.

As the demand for higher resolution video and extended storage durations grows, the challenge of managing storage costs in the field of video security becomes increasingly prominent. To address this issue, Hikvision's Guanlan Encoding employs the international H.265 standard and integrates an extensive AI model, enabling a smarter approach to video encoding.

Efficiency Meets Quality

Traditionally, video codecs treat all pixels uniformly, forcing operators to compromise between resolution and storage efficiency. In contrast, Guanlan Encoding intelligently identifies key objects in a scene such as people and vehicles, ensuring their clarity through precise region-of-interest (ROI) segmentation. Meanwhile, it significantly compresses redundant background data.

Jason Yang, Vice President of Hikvision International Business Center, stated, “Storage efficiency has often come at the cost of quality—until now. Guanlan Encoding assesses the image first and then determines what needs to be kept in high resolution.”

This advanced technology combines two complementary modes: dynamic capture adjusts data allocation in real-time to preserve details in complex, fast-moving scenes, while static optimization applies ultra-high compression to stationary or low-movement footage, compressing certain frames to just a few dozen bytes. This shift positions video encoding from a one-size-fits-all solution to a more intelligent, on-demand approach.

Proven Performance Through Testing

Internal comparative tests between the conventional H.265 codec and Guanlan Encoding have demonstrated consistent bandwidth savings across various scenarios:

• - Cafeteria (24-hour): 49% savings during daily traffic variations.
• - Office Building Entrance (30 minutes): 42% savings during peak hours.
• - Corporate Lobby (2 hours): 38% savings in a standard indoor environment.
• - Busy Commercial Street (1 hour): 18% savings within a high-complexity, intense activity scene.

Seamless Integration with Existing Systems

Since Guanlan Encoding is based on the H.265 standard, it integrates seamlessly with existing H.265 decoders, Hikvision devices, and third-party hardware. The encoding format, frame rate, and resolution remain unchanged, which facilitates implementation for both new and existing projects.

This technology is supported across Hikvision's full product line, including network and PTZ cameras in the DeepinView series, Ultra cameras, ColorVu 3.0 technology, and digital video recorders. Its applicability spans multiple environments, from corporate campuses and retail chains to public spaces and critical facilities.

By incorporating AI directly into the encoding process, Guanlan Encoding signifies a step towards a future where every byte of video is captured, compressed, and stored with a specific purpose. This represents a transition from pixel-based compression to purpose-driven compression.
