Frequently Asked Questions about AVCiT IP-Based KVM & Video Wall Controllers

AI NVR is a network video recorder with on-device artificial intelligence. It performs the recording and storage functions of a conventional NVR and adds content analysis, so recorded footage is indexed by what appears in it rather than only by when it was captured.

A traditional NVR retrieves footage by camera channel and timestamp. An AI NVR indexes the content of the footage - people, vehicles, objects, behaviours and attributes - so it can be retrieved by description. The AI NVR also generates alerts from defined events, which a traditional NVR cannot do without external analytics.

AVCiT reports retrieval response under 500 ms, including against libraries at million-frame scale. The system converts text and images into feature vectors, so a query is matched rather than scanned frame by frame.

Yes. The CSN AI NVR supports common IP camera protocols, so existing cameras continue to work and are brought into the same search index. Analytics algorithms are then assigned per camera group.

Coverage grows with the site: more buildings and entrances mean more cameras, and more cameras mean longer searches across areas and time periods.  On the CSN AI NVR, cameras added later join the same search, so the time to locate footage does not scale with the channel count.

Matched clips export as MP4 for incident review and authorised evidence sharing. Because each alert and match is tied to a specific moment in the recording, the exported clip carries its own timestamp context.
