HDCVI 2.0 a global standard

January 2015 News & Events

The HDcctv Alliance has announced a new global standard of HD analogue – HDCVI 2.0. HDCVI 2.0 is based on Dahua’s HDCVI technology. The standard aims to provide a stringent level of certification among manufacturers. Certification will ensure that all HDCVI products with certification label are completely compatible with each other. This gives users complete freedom of choice for security equipment using different brands.

Dahua is the HDCVI technology inventor and patent owner. This standardisation process has now taken the proprietary technology to a global open standard. Dahua provides open access for any third party, including competing manufactures, to use HDCVI. Partnering with the HDcctv Alliance allows manufacturers to better collaborate on the implementation of HDCVI 2.0 technology – carving the path for wider and quicker market acceptance.

As a steering committee member of the alliance, Dahua has come to appreciate that the HDCVI technology has been recognised as a global standard in the industry. “Since our HDCVI technology was released in 2012, the technology has attracted great attention not only in China but around the globe,” said Henry Zhang, VP at Dahua Technology. “HDCVI is now a global standard instead of being merely one of HD analogue solutions in the industry.”

At a press conference held during the Security China Exhibition in Beijing, alliance member Shany Electronics showcased its latest WDR camera with PoC function based on the HDCVI technology.

HDCVI 2.0 is just taking off among alliance members. “Speaking of certification, the alliance will play a more important role in testing products and issuing the compliant mark to HDCVI product suppliers,” said Todd Rockoff, chairman of HDcctv Alliance.

Rockoff pointed out that the alliance administers the compliant marks, including HDCVI 1.0, HDCVI 2.0 as well as HDCVI 3.0, the next step, which is expected within the next 12 months. “Only alliance member products that pass the applicable certifications can display the marks on their products or boxes. With these compliance marks, people can easily recognise product compatibility and make sure their product selection works seamlessly.”
