Hikvision Launches DeepinViewX Perimeter Cameras with Guanlan AI

Hikvision has launched the DeepinViewX-Series Bullet Cameras, powered by its large-scale Guanlan AI models, for perimeter protection applications. The cameras incorporate advanced millimeter-wave radar technology for all-weather detection, with Hikvision claiming a 90% reduction in false alarms and doubled detection range compared to previous-generation products.

The Guanlan AI platform represents Hikvision's move toward on-device large model inference for security analytics — applying the pattern recognition capabilities of large language model architectures to video and radar signal processing at the edge. For perimeter applications, this translates to improved classification of intrusion events in challenging conditions: differentiating a person from an animal, detecting low-crawl movement, and maintaining performance through fog, rain, and darkness.

The launch adds capable hardware to the perimeter detection market but carries the same procurement constraint that has defined Hikvision's position since 2019: NDAA Section 889 prohibits Hikvision equipment in US federal procurement and from any contractor doing business with the federal government. The restriction limits DeepinViewX's addressable market in the United States but does not apply in most international markets, where Hikvision maintains a dominant market share in video surveillance.

For PIDS buyers in NDAA-regulated environments, the DeepinViewX launch reinforces the technology gap that Section 889 creates: capable Chinese-manufactured hardware that cannot be specified for a significant segment of the market, pushing compliant alternatives to match these capabilities at a higher price point.
