by Brianna Crandall — December 3, 2014—The HDcctv Alliance recently announced a new global standard of high-definition (HD) analogue for the security industry—HDCVI 2.0, which is based on HDCVI technology developed by China-based video surveillance manufacturer Dahua Technology, a steering committee member of the Alliance.
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, giving users complete freedom of choice for security equipment using different brands.
As the HDCVI technology inventor and patent owner, Dahua introduced the milestones of the HDCVI development, which 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 implementation of HDCVI 2.0 technology, carving the path for wider and quicker market acceptance.
Todd Rockoff, Chairman of the HDcctv Alliance, pointed out that the Alliance will test products and issue the compliance 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 recognize product compatibility and make sure their product selection works seamlessly from end-to-end.”
More information about the HDCVI certifications is available on the HDcctv Alliance Web site.
