Hikvision 2026: what’s new in professional intrusion set to redefine the future of security

With AX Hybrid PRO G2, Hikvision delivers cutting-edge security solutions designed to meet the specific needs of professional installers. This system combines:

• Wired reliability (robustness and operational stability)
• Wireless flexibility (agile deployment and easy expansion)
• Integration with security cameras (true convergence and visual verification)

Whether for new installations or expanding existing systems, AX Hybrid PRO G2 is designed so that every phase of the project can be managed with simplicity, flexibility and efficiency.

Within the AX Hybrid PRO G2 system, the AX HYBRID PRO intrusion panel is designed to grow alongside your client’s requirements:

• Versions with 64, 96 or 128 zones

• Dual BUS, up to 64 devices per BUS

• Bidirectional communication with the ARC

• Supports LAN and Wi-Fi

• Compatible with optional PSTN / GPRS / 4G communicator

In addition, it provides advanced protection for device communication and safeguards system integrity. Bidirectional communication optimises radio traffic, reduces unnecessary transmissions and helps extend battery life – essential in professional installations with many wireless points.

In 2026, Hikvision will introduce the new indoor PIRCAM Version 3.0, incorporating a critical enhancement for modern projects: hardware-based privacy masking.

• Models available with integrated white light and infrared illumination
• AI algorithms to reduce false alarms from pets or environmental factors
• Precise detection of intruders within the protected area
• AOV mode (12 V DC only) with configurable intervals of 1, 2, 5 or 10 seconds

What sets it apart: the privacy mask is not software-based but a physical protection that covers the lens and is automatically removed when an alarm is triggered or a configured event occurs.

The managed AX HYBRID BUS supports expansion of up to 7.5 km, a key feature for large-scale sites or challenging distances. The module supports BUS devices in three configuration modes:

• Cascade
• Compatible
• Ring

This allows the system to adapt to any project requirement. High-speed lines ensure stable and reliable HD image transmission, enabling a modular architecture even in complex installations.

Connectivity is reinforced with dual-SIM 4G and TCP/IP networking (wired or wireless), ensuring continuous and secure communication. High performance, flexibility and operational stability for residential, SMEs or larger deployments.

AX HYBRID is a powerful, secure and reliable intrusion panel designed with flexibility at its core. Unlike traditional solutions, it not only manages BUS sensors but also supports:

• Conventional wired sensors
• Third-party sensors, enabling reuse of existing detectors

The 868 MHz radio technology ensures high performance and stable communication even in complex environments. With Frequency Hopping, transmissions continuously change frequency, enhancing reliability. Security is further strengthened by a 128-bit encryption protocol designed to protect system operation.

This is the strategic leap: convergence between CCTV, intrusion, intercom and access control transforms the system into a modern, unified security solution.

• Cameras become intelligent detectors, delivering visual and analytical data in real time
• Transmission of clips and notifications both before and after an alarm

AX HYBRID allows rules and events to be configured directly via the IP camera’s web interface and added as zones to the intrusion panel, creating an extremely flexible system.

The panel can record and manage events from AcuSense, CurtainVu or HeatPro cameras (line crossing, area entry/exit, temperature threshold breaches, etc.). Each event can trigger an immediate alarm, but the real value lies in combining multiple conditions for more precise and reliable detection.

Result: a single converged security system, with cameras operating as true multidimensional sensors.
