In the current scenario, video surveillance systems have advanced from being simple monitoring devices to forming comprehensive intelligent solutions that can be applied in every vertical industry. Surveillance and security solutions are increasingly incorporating emerging technologies to deliver data that can drive intelligent protection and monitoring. The driving force behind this is IoT technology integrated with systems at every level, a trend that is expected to see unparalleled growth while reducing the latency and bandwidth requirements for real-time data collection and situational monitoring. As companies attempt to achieve enhanced monitoring and search efficiency through IoT, they seek tailor-made solutions that can be applied closely to their needs instead of relying on off-the-shelf offerings. In addition, it will improve scalability and cost-effectiveness while reducing capital expenditure by providing services under an operating expenditure framework. Zhejiang Dahua Technology (Dahua) is a world-leading video-centric smart IoT solution and service provider that offers end-to-end security solutions, systems, and services based on emerging technological innovations for city operations, corporate security management, home surveillance, and more. The company's core competencies include customized technical innovations and end-to-end services to suit customers' requirements. Its video surveillance product line includes network cameras, network video recorders, and HD over coax, which can be applied in various sectors, such as banking, sports, transportation, and energy.

As the very first company to bring 4K-over-coax to the market, Dahua's patented in-house technology, High Definition Composite Video Interface (HDCVI), comes with a complete product portfolio. It supports 4K ultra high definition resolution with four times the pixels of 1080P to present a true-to-life image with significant clarity by capturing even the tiniest of details even in extremely low-light environments. Furthermore, Dahua's HDCVI technology guarantees long-distance transmission in real-time cost-effectively without any signal loss based on realworld scenario testing in Dahua's test laboratory. The HDCVI technology was pioneered to simultaneously transmit four signals (audio, video, data, and power) over a single coaxial cable to cover multiple signal acquisition demands, further simplifying the installation and deployment of surveillance systems. The HDCVI camera does this by enabling high-resolution video, supporting audio input or built-in mic, and communications through control signals.

Whether it is implementing a new system or upgrading an existing legacy system, the deployment of Dahua's HDCVI solution requires only minimal basic labor and costs. The HDCVI system can be seamlessly integrated with its existing analog infrastructure to enable users to enjoy the advantages of modern technological innovation, even if the current system is using other HD-overcoax technologies. Owing to its full compatibility nature, Dahua's HDCVI can be easily integrated to be plug and play, making construction flexible and enabling no-hassle network configuration. In addition, the system also allows the re-use of existing cables with Power-over-Coax (PoC) technology made available for integrated powersupply requirements.

Dahua's many high-profile projects demonstrate its efficiency and cost-effectiveness, including the Rio Olympics 2016, Hangzhou G20 Summit 2016, Oman Avenues Shopping Mall, LAN Airlines in Peru, as well as APEC in China. In one particular project, the Toledo Cathedral, which is one of the three 13th-century High Gothic cathedrals, needed to ensure proper maintenance and accidents prevention. Considered to be the magnum opus of the Gothic style worldwide, the Spanish govt takes cultural relics protection as their social responsibility. Experts at Dahua security upgraded all the surveillance equipment in the cathedral. With the help of Dahua's customized installation support, cameras were tactically positioned to make it unnoticed by churchgoers and tourists. At the same time, the control center will have full-aspect monitoring of every corner to stay in control and adopt corresponding measures to different incidents. Dahua security provided technical support to the integration with the cathedral's existing security systems successfully deployment of high resolution 5 Megapixels IP cameras and 2 Megapixel HDCVI cameras. Furthermore, the existing coaxial cable from the previous plain-old analog CCTV system was re-used to install HDCVI cameras, saving cost on cabling work and reducing the risk of damaging the historic structure. Besides the essential functions of recording and real-time live view, Dahua built the system for heat detection, magnetic detection, intruder detection, and fire detection functions. Thanks to Dahua, the Toledo Cathedral security management was provided with the best possible image quality and surveillance strategy.

HDCVI has also become an open international technical specification. This is the affirmation of the market, industry and experts regarding the HDCVI technology,” - Yin Jun, President and Founder of Dahua Technologies


Since its inception in 2001, Dahua has been committed to providing its highest quality solutions and products with the latest technologies to enable end-users to perform their business successfully. Since then, the company has registered with over 1700 patents and has continually focused on investing in building strong R&D capabilities for new technology and innovation. Dahua has four research institutes – Advanced Technology Institute, Big Data Institute, Chip Institute, and Video Cloud Institute and a high-level R&D team working on cutting-edge technologies in AI, IoT, Cloud services, video, cyber security, and more. Currently, Dahua has more than 16,000 employees in 54 subsidiaries and representative offices globally covering APAC, Americas, Middle-East, and Africa regions. The year 2022 marks the 10th anniversary of Dahua's independently developed HDCVI technology. Over the years, the company's industry-leading coaxial technology has achieved several key technological breakthroughs, including Audio-over Coax, AI functions, AI Coding, 4K Realtime, and Super Adapt. In the near future, Dahua will launch its brand new HDCVI TEN which is equipped with AI-for-all, Scheduled AI, Smart Dual Illuminators, and Real 5MP 16:9 technologies blazing a trail in the over-coax AI era. "HDCVI has also become an open international technical specification. This is the affirmation of the market, industry and experts regarding the HDCVI technology," - Yin Jun, President of Dahua Advanced Technologies Institute.
