HANGZHOU, China, March 25, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Hikvision has launched a brand new TalkVu Video Intercom series. This next-generation family of products transforms how homeowners experience security and communication.
Embodying the brand vision 'Talk Clear, View Smart', the TalkVu series combines crystal-clear 4 MP imaging, AI-powered audio optimization, and intuitive controls to deliver exceptional clarity in monitoring doorstep activities, distortion-free conversations, and seamless management of connected environments.
View smart: Crystal-clear vision in any lighting condition
TalkVu's 4 MP outdoor camera is paired with 1080p indoor displays to capture doorstep activities in exceptional detail, day or night. The 150°/180° ultra-wide lens eliminates blind spots while advanced imaging algorithms automatically adjust for bright sunlight or low-light conditions. This ensures faces and packages remain clearly visible at all times. The cutting-edge AI-ISP technology leverages AI for better noise reduction, color accuracy, and dynamic range, resulting in clearer, more detailed, and smarter visual output especially in low-light environments.
Talk clear: Distortion-free communication
TalkVu's dual-microphone array features intelligent noise reduction which eliminates environmental interference from conversations. Directional sound pickup technology focuses on human voices while filtering out unwanted sounds from wind, traffic, and background disturbance. High-output speakers ensure crystal-clear conversations—whether greeting visitors or coordinating with delivery personnel during adverse weather—making distance irrelevant to communications quality.
Proactive AI-powered security
TalkVu evolves security from reactive to proactive protection. Multi-modal access control supports facial recognition, access cards, PIN codes, Bluetooth, QR codes, and mobile app authorization. Intelligent video analytics provide smart event detection including fall detection, line crossing, and region intrusion with instant alerts, while abnormal sound detection identifies screaming, glass breaking, and unusual sounds with immediate notifications. These layered features transform your intercom into an intelligent and proactive protection system.
Comprehensive control, three simple ways
TalkVu's indoor station serves as your command center, seamlessly connecting video security, alarms, intercoms, elevator controls, lighting, and climate—all accessible with simple touches. The Hik-Connect app enables instant mode switching between 'At Home' and 'Away' for total control at your fingertips. Voice commands provide natural environment control for dimming lights, adjusting temperature, or closing blinds effortlessly.

Hikvision launches TalkVu Video Intercom series, taking security and communication to the next level
SYDNEY, March 25, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- As the latest figures from UNICEF reveal one in four people worldwide still lack access to clean drinking water, Liquid I.V. launched a campaign at Bondi Beach to highlight the scale of the crisis of access to clean water.
Despite these figures suggesting that 961 million people have gained access to safely managed drinking water services - underlining significant progress over the last decade - over 2 billion people around the world still lack access to clean water.
These findings underscore the urgent need to ensure safe, reliable water for all - a basic human right, yet a privilege many take for granted.
To highlight this issue, Liquid I.V. installed three 'non-working' water fountains along the Bondi Promenade, symbolically 'turning off the tap'.
The installation of the 'non-working' water fountains aligns with Liquid I.V.'s sponsorship of water fountains across Bondi Beach prompted those passersby looking to sip on fresh water or refill their bottles to reflect on the stark reality that one in four people globally do not have access to clean drinking water.
The installation included insights from Liquid I.V.'s recently launched 2025 Global Impact Report featured on the design of the water fountain, encouraging the general public to learn more about the issue.
"Water insecurity is one of the most pressing global challenges today, affecting billions of lives every day. Initiatives like Liquid I.V.'s Bondi installation are important because they bring into view the realities many communities face in accessing safe drinking water, helping people understand the scale of the issue and why it matters," said Dr Tim Foster, an expert on global water security at the UTS Institute for Sustainable Futures.
"For us at Liquid I.V., our impact work isn't just an initiative, it's a commitment to action to help expand clean water access globally. We are on track to achieve our goal of expanding clean water access for 2 million people by the end of 2026, but with 1 in 4 people lacking access to clean drinking water, we know there's a lot more work to be done.," said Harrison Power, Marketing Manager for Liquid I.V. Australia.
"This activation in Bondi aims to raise awareness of this global clean water crisis, encouraging Australians to reflect on water insecurity and the importance of a collective responsibility in addressing this global issue."
Through its Global Impact Program, Liquid I.V. contributes 1 per cent of company revenue to commitments such as the Clean Water Access Program - which aims to expand access to clean drinking water worldwide. Since 2021, the brand has supported both community-led and systems-change projects, prioritizing sustainable solutions for vulnerable and historically underserved communities.
These combined efforts contribute to the brand's goal of providing 2 million people with clean water by 2026, as outlined in its 2025 Impact Report - turning awareness into tangible, lasting impact.
Liquid I.V. encourages all Australians to learn more about the global water crisis, engage with the issue, and support commitments that make clean water accessible for all.
