Dahua Technology USA, has unveiled an upgrade to its video management software (VMS), DSS (Dahua security system) Pro. This enhancement equips security personnel with advanced tools, enabling them to identify and monitor suspicious individuals’ movements in just seconds.
Dahua’s DSS Pro is a video management software (VMS) security solution designed for scalability. It leverages users’ video security system to help them make informed decisions and serves as a backbone of operation. This version, DSS Pro 8.3, became available to the public in beginning of 2023.
This upgrade primarily focuses on integrating Dahua’s advanced algorithm, AcuPick Technology, which helps investigators to save time in searching and identifying people of interest. This feature also supports multiple user logins with permissions for up to 200 individuals simultaneously. Another feature is remote-control capability, which enables security staff to monitor and track events from anywhere, whether they are on move or at home.
“This technology makes investigations more efficient than ever before,” says Kevin Sok, product marketing manager of Dahua Technology USA.
It has been predicted that this upgrade will foster digital transformation across various sectors and empower stakeholders from retail, gaming, residential and other sectors to become more digital and efficient.
Integrated search algorithm
Traditional security methods demand frame-by-frame analysis of hours of video footage. Now, with AcuPick, all searchable targets can be scanned instantly.
This search algorithm breaks up people and vehicle objects into feature values that are sent to DSS platform for processing. DSS saves these feature values to its database and finds a target object by comparing feature values.
Even without clear details, security staff can find and track a person or vehicle of interest using a single reference image. Upon selecting a person, individuals will instantly see a history of each appearance on all AcuPick-enabled cameras throughout premises.
DSS Pro 8.3 streamlines user experience, eliminating need for lengthy training sessions. This process is as simple as installing AcuPick, selecting a target, viewing desired thumbnails and receiving video feedback instantly.
Enhanced workflow and visualisation
DSS Pro 8.3 also introduces a clearer assignment system, simplifying the entire workflow. It is divided into three groups staff assignment, safeguarding doors, and routes connecting these two. This allows users to see personal assignments for each door and personnel situation.
The company has improved its user interface to offer a more visualised and intuitive dashboard. This upgraded feature provides overview of peak times, equipment status and other vital information for stakeholders to manage their security systems.
Existing stakeholders get these updates free of charge. While clients are required to purchase their own servers for data storage, data transfer during a DSS Pro upgrade is an additional cost.
