Hikvision Introduces New AI-Powered Traffic Cameras and Servers

Hikvision has announced the launch of a new range of traffic cameras and servers powered by advanced large-scale Traffic AI models, designed to enhance traffic safety and reduce false alarms. The new lineup includes incident detection cameras such as the iDS-TCS802-HS, iDS-TCS907-HIR, iDS-TCS917-HI, and iDS-TCS900-HI, alongside servers like the iDS-TSS500-H/16 and iDS-TSS300-H/04.

“A big step forward in traffic management efficiency,”

Using a Transformer-Based AI architecture with a self-attention mechanism, these devices analyze entire traffic scenes to better understand the context, significantly reducing false detections caused by background noise. For example, the seatbelt detection feature reduces false alarms by 75% by evaluating the driver’s posture and the visible parts of the seatbelt, even in complex situations such as when the belt blends with clothing or has an unusual shape.

Phone use detection is also improved, with the cameras analyzing hand position, driver’s line of sight, and the area near the ear to reduce false positives by 75%. The incident detection cameras achieve a 60% reduction in false alarms for events such as fallen objects, pedestrian detection, and stopped vehicles. Meanwhile, the servers enable users to upgrade existing cameras without the need to install new equipment.

Hollis Li, Intelligent Traffic Product Director at Hikvision, described the new products as “a big step forward in traffic management efficiency,” emphasizing their ability to handle real-world challenges and contribute to safer roads and more efficient traffic control.
