Frequently Asked Questions
What is an AI NVR, and how is it different from a traditional NVR?
An AI Network Video Recorder (NVR) uses artificial intelligence to analyze surveillance footage rather than simply recording and storing video. Unlike traditional NVRs, AI-enabled recorders such as the IC Realtime 32-Channel Elite AI NVR can identify people and vehicles, recognize faces, detect activity in restricted areas, and organize video metadata to help users find important events faster.
What are the benefits of AI-powered video surveillance?
AI-powered video surveillance helps improve security by identifying meaningful activity, reducing false motion alerts, and making recorded footage easier to investigate. Features such as human and vehicle detection, facial recognition, and intelligent video analytics allow property owners and security teams to focus on relevant events instead of manually reviewing hours of recordings.
How does AI reduce false alarms in security camera systems?
AI reduces false alarms by distinguishing people and vehicles from environmental movement such as rain, blowing leaves, and changes in lighting. The IC Realtime Elite AI NVR uses Intelligent Motion Detection (iMD) to filter motion events, helping users receive more relevant security alerts.
What is the difference between AI by Camera and AI by NVR?
AI by Camera means the security camera performs the video analysis using its own processing capabilities. AI by NVR means the network video recorder analyzes incoming footage using its built-in AI processing. The IC Realtime 32-Channel Elite AI NVR supports both approaches, allowing installers to combine recorder-based analytics with additional features available through compatible AI cameras. Supported features and channel limits vary by processing mode.
