- HikCentral Professional 2.0 now supports a broader range of security and 
business applications in one platform, all managed with a new dynamic and 
intuitive user interface.

Hikvision launched newly updated HikCentral Professional 2.0 security software 
("HCP 2.0"), which blends feeds from multiple systems onto a single platform. 
HCP 2.0 can be configured to link video security devices, alarm and access 
control systems, and more, including third-party systems through the OpenAPI – 
for easy centralized management of a variety of security and business 
applications.

Frank Zhang, President of Hikvision's International Product and Solution 
Center, said, "This is an important release for us, and a significant leap 
forward in our security management software offerings. HikCentral Professional 
2.0 will help our customers manage a variety of activities seamlessly on one 
platform. We're excited to see the value it delivers."

Nine key applications for numerous business needs

HikCentral Professional 2.0 integrates multiple business and security systems 
with nine key applications, making it valuable to a wide variety of common 
security and business scenarios seen in buildings, factories, stores, 
apartments, and the like.

Among them, video cameras and security alarms are integrated into the platform 
to deliver fluid live viewing and timely alarm notifications. 

Furthermore, access control can be included to assign a variety of access 
permissions using multiple methods including facial recognition, ID cards, 
fingerprints, QR codes, and more. HCP 2.0 also allows various personnel such as 
HR managers to set flexible attendance rules, including schedules for shift 
work, while delivering full reporting facilities. Additionally, site managers 
can also employ vehicle management and visitor management applications to 
streamline entrance management as well as on-site parking. 

Users can further rely on HCP 2.0 with intelligent analysis and reporting – an 
application that collects data and transforms it into easy-to-understand 
reports and dashboards. This includes flow status, people density and more. For 
systems management teams, HCP 2.0's system maintenance application visualizes 
alarm and device notifications, as well as the full network and device topology 
for rapid, targeted action in unusual events. 

Last but not least, HCP 2.0 lets users deploy digital signage systems to 
display advertisements and announcements. The software comes with eight 
pre-installed templates for users to present content optimally. This can be 
crowd numbers and temperature status in a supermarket scenario, for example. 

Creating truly unified systems with enhanced security and greater operational 
efficiency 

With HCP 2.0, users will flexibly unite applications and build a tailored 
system to match their security and business needs. The unified approach not 
only creates greater situational awareness of their security environment, it 
also reduces real day-to-day management resources previously required by 
disparate systems. 

For example, users can integrate visitor management with vehicle management to 
enhance daily operational efficiency for building facilities. Facility managers 
can register visitor information into the HCP 2.0 system, and – by linking to 
an ANPR system – can set visitors to be automatically permitted into on-site 
parking. Similarly, the system can also pre-authorize visitor access to 
specific areas of an organization's premises.

Personalized user experience 

HikCentral Professional 2.0 can be tailored to deliver specific information to 
assigned users. The system comes with three pre-configured roles: "system 
installation and management," "security control and management," and 
"attendance management." In this way, HR staff can customize their feed to show 
employee attendance status, for example, while management staff can monitor 
security of the facilities. There is also one custom role, which can be 
tailored to specific needs. 

Perhaps most importantly, HikCentral Professional 2.0 features an improved user 
interface. Users can customize the control panel to suit their viewing 
preferences, simply dragging and dropping key video and device feeds into the 
dashboard, adjusting where they sit and how they look. 

Dynamic and intuitive user interface 

HCP 2.0 also incorporates multiple visualized dashboards that display key 
security and business insights generated from various applications, 
facilitating decision-making processes with more accuracy and efficiency. 

What's more, users apply 3D E-maps that vividly demonstrate device monitoring 
statuses in different locations, and manage instant alerts interactively by 
clicking and watching associated live videos and other integrated system 
information. 

Easy setup and maintenance 

HikCentral Professional 2.0 is easy to deploy and quick to set up for a 
multitude of projects with single applications. Customers with minimum system 
requirement of Intel i3-CPU and 8 GB RAM can get up and running with a 
one-click installation procedure that makes HCP 2.0 setup a breeze. Operations 
guidance wizards are conspicuously displayed to support users in configuring 
key applications. In addition, the visualized health monitoring dashboards 
enable more focused and efficient IT maintenance.
