Since the launch of eDVRs, the market response has exceeded the expectation.

June 2023 – Hikvision has introduced eDVR 1TB, for enhanced video surveillance storage capacity in the India market. Its eSSD Technology helps in 45% energy savings. Since the launch of eDVRs, the market response has exceeded the expectation. There were specific demands for enhancing the storage capacity of eDVR, it came from the end-users and system integrators. The latest eDVR 1TB is Hikvision Indias latest offering with many value added features like Enhanced Capacity, Enduring Storage and Efficient Video Analytics.

Around the world, energy costs have been rising, and the need to lower carbon emissions is more pressing than ever. With Hikvisions range of eDVRs, homeowners and businesses can achieve annual, per-device energy savings of 40-45kWh compared to traditional DVRs: which is the equivalent to more than 3,000 iPhone charges.

Traditional digital video recorders (DVRs) consume a significant amount of power due to their reliance on hard disk drives (HDDs). These drives consist of numerous moving parts, such as spindles, actuator arms, and the drive heads, which contribute to high energy consumption for data storage.

Hikvision eDVR 1TB offers enhanced storage capacity for the diverse surveillance storage requirements. It is available in six models namely -DS-E16HGHI-B, iDS-E08HQHI-B, iDS-E04HUHI-B, DS-E08HGHI-D, iDS-E04HQHI-D, iDS-E04HGHI-E.

Furthermore, thanks to its exceptional storage efficiency, a 1TB eDVR can provide up to 8 weeks of storage, easily meeting customers storage requirements. A 1TB 4 channel model (iDS-E04HQHI-D) can store up to 4 weeks of continuously recorded footage by all channels in 1080P, while a DS-E04HGHI-E model supports up to 8 weeks of continuous recording in 1080p lite (960x1080 resolution).

Hikvision patented technology offers convenience of adaptability on the storage front. It applies H.265-based scene-adaptive bitrate coding on eDVRs to ensure sufficient storage and quality video compression. Thus H.265-based scene-adaptive bitrate control Storage allocation is enabled to ensure 2/4/8 weeks recording.

The algorithms can detect how complicated and active the actual scene is, and then assign a certain bitrate to the scene according to the level of activeness, so as to guarantee storage allocation.

The storage is pre-allocated into about 2/4/8 weeks with minor differences in each day according to actual scene and events.

Intelligent human/vehicle classification is in-built in the eDVRs, enabling smart Motion Detection and quick target search and playback.

Deep learning-based motion detection 2.0 can classify humans and vehicles, and extremely reduce false alarms deep-learning algorithms are trained to classify objects in videos into three categories – Persons, Vehicles, and Other. The algorithms can automatically detect persons and vehicles.

In comparison to H.265, H.265 Pro option offers better coding efficiency, which improves Video Compression capacity by 20%.
