In the evolving security technology landscape, the demand for integrated, intelligent video solutions in advanced video management software (VMS) is driving change. For security professionals, especially integrators and installers, staying ahead means delivering systems that are not just functional, but forward-thinking and scalable. Hikvision, the global leader in video surveillance technology, offers two robust platforms to meet a range of project requirements: HikCentral Professional and HikCentral Lite. Each is built to support streamlined deployment, flexible integration and advanced functionality — empowering professionals to offer more value to clients across industries. 

HikCentral Professional: A modular platform built for scale

For large-scale and multi-site projects, HikCentral Professional provides a powerful foundation. This unified VMS platform brings together video surveillance, access control, visitor management, alarm systems and more — all through a flexible, modular architecture that supports over 100,000 channels in RSM mode.

Its plug-in structure is particularly valuable for integrators looking to customize deployments for verticals such as retail, education, manufacturing and critical infrastructure. Whether you’re building out a full-scale solution or phasing upgrades over time, the system’s architecture allows for precise tailoring without re-engineering. 

HikCentral Lite is designed with simplicity and scalability at its core and supports AI-powered intelligent search functions for robust capabilities without the complexity. The system supports Windows, Android and iOS, making it adaptable across devices, and comes with:

    16 free video channels and 2 free doors, with easy license upgrades (e.g., HX-LVSS1C for video, HX-LACS1DI for access)
    AI-powered video content analysis (VCA) tools for rapid object and event search
    Simple migration paths from legacy software like iVMS-4200
    Lifetime software updates at no additional cost—helping integrators maintain system value over time.
