Hikvision says it has a comprehensive portfolio of physical security solutions to protect assets, people and property at cannabis operations.

“As the cannabis industry continues to expand and evolve, Hikvision remains at the forefront, providing scalable and future-proof physical security solutions,” said John Xiao, vice-president of marketing, Hikvision USA, in a statement. “Beyond facilitating security and compliance, our solutions are capable of delivering intelligent insights cannabis facilities crave to help owners make data-driven decisions for better operational outcomes.”

Hikvision says it has developed an array of security solutions designed to address the specific requirements of cannabis facilities, including regulatory compliance, retail optimization, workforce management and cash control.

Solutions include:

DeepinView Cameras for Retail Stores: Hikvision’s DeepinView cameras provide intelligent video analytics and features like Queue Management, Customer Traffic Counting and Shoplifter Alarms.

Thermal Cameras for Grow Rooms: With the ability to operate without supplemental lighting, Hikvision’s thermal cameras provide 24/7 monitoring of temperature and humidity in cannabis cultivation environments.

HikCentral VMS for Security Rooms: The HikCentral Central Video Management System (VMS) offers unified video, alarm, and access control management, as well as system health monitoring.

Colorado-based medical marijuana company, 14er Gardens, has deployed a total of 95 Hikvision cameras for indoor and outdoor monitoring and used Hikvision’s Pro Series NVRs for storage, according to a Hikvision press release. These NVRs enabled them to meet the Colorado Marijuana Enforcement Division’s (MED) video storage requirements for 40 days of on- and off-site recording.
