Dahua Partners With Pepper for IoT Platform-as-a-Service Integration
The partnership with Pepper provides Dahua customers access to platform and software capabilities designed to deliver video as well as non-video IoT services to end-users.
IRVINE, Calif. — Dahua Technology, a leading video surveillance solutions provider, announces a strategic partnership with Pepper, an IoT platform-as-a-service, to allow the integration of its intelligent solutions into Dahua hardware.
Pepper’s U.S.-based platform powers connected devices around the world, delivering highly secure and private connected services via enterprise partnerships, according to the company.
Pepper says its platform-as-a-service approach caters to global consumer electronics manufacturers, consumer brands and service providers that aim to harness the benefits of IoT by delivering high-value and on-brand IoT services to end users. Pepper’s turnkey service includes device firmware, secure cloud hosting and intuitive user interface designs.
“Dahua Technology is pleased to bring its market-leading physical security manufacturing expertise to our partnership with Pepper,” says Tim Wang, general manager of Dahua USA. “By integrating with Pepper’s platform-as-a-service, Dahua Technology’s hardware becomes part of a comprehensive, secure, and feature-based service framework.”
Dahua devices will be preconfigured to operate on the Pepper IoT platform. For Dahua products distributed in the U.S., all data and video communications will be contained in the United States and held to Pepper’s stringent cybersecurity and data privacy standards, according to the company.
For Dahua Technology’s corporate customers, the Pepper partnership provides access to a set of market-leading platform and software capabilities designed to deliver video as well as non-video IoT services to end-users.
Pepper says its full-stack approach not only ensures optimal system quality and end-user experience, but also functions to prevent sensitive data and user video from being accessed or redirected by the device manufacturer or third parties.
“It is concerning to see millions of vulnerable connected video and non-video devices being distributed to U.S. consumers who are unaware how their personal data is being compromised – and how easy it is for hackers to access their home WiFi networks through these devices,” says Scott Ford, CEO of Pepper. “We are pleased that Dahua is deploying the Pepper full-stack approach to protect against unauthorized access and redirection of data.”
