Users frequently search for methods to detect specific environmental noises rather than relying solely on visual motion triggers. Executing a proper Hikvision sound classification setup allows the surveillance system to categorize distinct audio events and log targeted alerts.

Activating this feature requires logging into the camera’s web interface, navigating to the Event and Detection menu to enable Sound Classification, assigning the sound type parameters, and verifying the triggered alarms using the Hikvision SDK demo software.

How to execute a Hikvision sound classification setup?

• Log into the Camera Web Interface: Access the camera via a web browser, input administrative credentials, and navigate to Configuration > Event > Event and Detection.
• Configure Sound Classification Parameters: Select the Sound Classification Detection tab. Choose the target sound type, configure the sensitivity level, establish the arming schedule, and assign the linkage method. Click Save.
• Add Camera to SDK Demo: Open the Hikvision SDK demo application, input the camera IP details to add the device, and activate the guard function.
• Verify Alarm Info: Open the “Alarm Info” section in the bottom right corner of the SDK demo interface. Triggering the targeted audio event populates the detection data directly within this window.
• Check Local Logs: Navigate to the local directory C:\Picture on your computer and open the generated log file to verify the specific alarm type recorded by the system.

Operation Notes

This function requires compatible hardware and firmware. The configuration applies specifically to 7 series cameras running firmware version 5.9.22 and above. Operating older firmware versions prevents the Sound Classification menu from appearing in the interface.

Use Cases

Audio detection categorizes specific sound profiles in monitored environments, providing critical security alerts in areas where visual line-of-sight is obstructed or insufficient for complete situational awareness.
