Hikvision Sales Engineer Leo Gutierrez discusses the company's new emphasis on solutions and services for the enterprise market.
ORLANDO, Fla. – Hikvision may best be regarded in North America as a supplier for video surveillance installations in the small and medium-sized (SMB) market, and yet the company’s exhibit booth was decidedly focused on delivering a much broader message to security professionals and end users.
As Hikvision Sales Engineer Leo Gutierrez explained, the company arrived in Orlando ready to tout its new emphasis on solutions and services for the enterprise market, with equipment and technology displays for specific verticals. Here’s a glance by market niche and their accompanying featured products:
Education
Education security personnel can surveil campuses day and night with Hikvision’s products with resolution up to 4K. Panoramic cameras offer a multidirectional field of view, which is applicable for other market niches as well, such as warehouses. The Value Plus product line and third-generation TurboHD allow education customers a low-cost transition to high definition, and Hikvision’s NVRs and DVRs with H.264+ provide necessary compression technology.
Featured new product: DS-2CD6986F-H multimager camera, which reproduces a 180° stitched view and IP66 protection. The camera uses four 2MP Darkfighter sensors for low-light color imaging.
Retail
Security and loss prevention professionals need products that provide an understanding of activity in their stores. Certain cameras are equipped with heat-mapping, people-counting and other analytics. Hikvision is also exhibited a new height-strip camera. Full coverage is available from every angle with fisheye cameras. Add to that list DVRs, which support POS on up to eight channels.
Featured new products: 2MP covert cameras, 2MP height-strip camera, 12MP fisheye camera, 3MP ultra-wide panoramic camera and 1.3MP people counting camera. A variety of cameras are also available in black enclosures.
