DO MORE FOR LESS:

Aukoo’s value line of cameras, DVRs and NVRs allow retailers to deploy more technology while meeting budget requirements. 

H.265+ COMPRESSION:

H.265+ video compression technology reduces video bitrate streaming between 60 to 80 percent over the current H.264 industry standard. Leveraging H.265 and H.265+ greatly reduces network bandwidth usage and lowers storage requirements, leading to significant cost savings and better video transmissions over limited bandwidth. This provides a lower infrastructure investment that delivers high quality video.

RETAIL-CENTRIC ANALYTICS:

Robust edge analytics are included in Aukoo cameras to enhance system productivity. These standard analytics coupled with Hikvision’s retail-centric analytics such as queue monitoring, people counting, heat mapping, and POS integrations, ensure efficient operations.

 

HD OVER COAX SOLUTIONS:

TurboHD, with resolutions up to 4K, facilitates the move to high definition video by utilizing existing coaxial cable infrastructure, saving time and money. A TurboHD solution can often save up to 30 to 50 percent when compared with a similar IP conversion project.

POINT-OF-SALE (POS) INTEGRATION:

Leveraging the HikCentral software platform to manage multiple store locations can potentially boost profits. The cloud-based point-of-sale integration merges POS data with associated video, providing better visibility into financial transactions. Utilize exception reporting to view trends and identify potentially fraudulent activity.
