AcuPick vs. Quick Pick vs. SMD: Choosing the Right AI Technology for Smarter Security

In the world of security and surveillance, finding and tracking a specific person or vehicle of interest in hours of footage can be a daunting and time-consuming task. Enter Montavue Security’s AcuPick Search Technology, Quick Pick, and Smart Motion Detection (SMD)—three AI-powered solutions that simplify and accelerate this process. AcuPick enables users to quickly and accurately locate, track, and identify targets across live and recorded video feeds. Quick Pick provides rapid filtering of footage based on attributes like people or vehicles, while SMD enhances real-time monitoring by distinguishing relevant motion from false alarms. In this blog, we’ll explore how these technologies work, their key features, and how they compare to one another.

AcuPick is an AI-powered search and tracking technology. It works with 5 Series AI and 6 Series AI NVRs to analyze and match specific persons or vehicles across multiple video streams. By analyzing human body shape, clothing color, and other distinguishing features, AcuPick can rapidly search through vast amounts of recorded footage, dramatically reducing the time needed to locate key events.

• Reference Image Input: Users select a target from any recorded footage on a AcuPick Supported camera connected to an AcuPick-compatible NVR.
• Deep Learning Analysis: AcuPick’s advanced AI algorithm analyzes the target's features, including body shape, clothing color, and vehicle details.
• Footage Search: The system scans live and recorded video footage from all AcuPick-enabled cameras to locate instances of the target.
• Similarity Setting: Users can adjust the similarity threshold to refine the accuracy of search results.
• Results Display: AcuPick presents all recorded incidents where the target appears, allowing users to review relevant footage efficiently.

*AcuPick is only supported on 5 Series AI and 6 Series AI NVRs. Lite Series NVRs and 4 Series AI NVRs do not support AcuPick.

• Deep Learning-Powered Matching: Accurately identifies and tracks targets based on a reference image.

• Fast Multi-Camera Search: Instantly scans through recorded footage from all AcuPick-enabled cameras.

• User-Adjustable Similarity: Customize search parameters for optimal accuracy.

• Live and Recorded Video Analysis: Works in real-time and on stored footage for flexible tracking.

• Time-Saving: Reduces hours of manual video review to seconds.

• Person and Vehicle Tracking: Designed for versatile security applications, including suspicious activity detection.

Smart Motion Detection (SMD) is a feature commonly found in security cameras that uses advanced algorithms to detect and filter motion. It distinguishes between relevant motion (e.g., humans, vehicles) and irrelevant motion (e.g., leaves rustling, shadows) to reduce false alarms and improve the efficiency of security systems.

• Motion Filtering: Differentiates between humans, vehicles, and other objects.

• Reduced False Alarms: Ignores irrelevant movements like animals or changing lighting.

• Real-Time Alerts: Sends notifications when significant motion is detected.

• Energy Efficiency: Triggers recording only when motion is detected, saving storage and power.

While both AcuPick and SMD are AI-powered technologies designed to enhance security systems, they serve different purposes and operate in distinct ways. Here’s a comparison:

Quick Pick is another AI-driven search technology designed to enhance security monitoring by rapidly identifying and retrieving footage of people or vehicles. Unlike AcuPick, which focuses on tracking a specific target throughout recorded video, Quick Pick specializes in providing rapid filtering of objects based on basic attributes.

• Attribute-Based Search: Users can filter recorded footage by selecting specific criteria such as person or vehicle.
• Efficient Sorting: The system scans video streams and organizes search results based on object type, significantly reducing review time.
• Real-Time & Historical Footage Support: Quick Pick can be used on both live and recorded video feeds.
• Optimized for Speed: It is designed for fast retrieval, allowing security personnel to locate footage within seconds.

• Instant Retrieval: Quickly find persons or vehicles in footage without manual searching.

• User-Friendly Filtering: Select objects based on basic attributes for efficient sorting.

• Time-Saving: Reduces the effort required to find relevant security footage.

• Seamless Integration: Works with AI-powered NVRs and cameras for efficient monitoring.

Both AcuPick and Quick Pick enhance security systems, but they serve different roles:

AcuPick is a game-changer for security professionals who need to quickly locate and track specific targets in recorded footage. By utilizing deep learning algorithms and working seamlessly with 5 Series AI and 6 Series AI NVRs, AcuPick eliminates the need for manual footage review, making investigations significantly more efficient.

Quick Pick is the perfect solution for users who need fast and efficient filtering of recorded footage. It allows security teams to rapidly identify people or vehicles without needing to track a specific target, streamlining security operations.

AcuPick, Quick Pick, and Smart Motion Detection each bring unique capabilities to security systems. Whether you need precise target tracking, rapid object filtering, or real-time motion alerts, Montavue Security offers cutting-edge solutions to meet your needs.
