- Smart camera standards launched at the Beijing Surveillance Summit with collaboration throughout the industry
- JD.com invests $ 1.37 million in three years to support compliance
- The new rules establish the performance, safety and labeling requirements for intelligent home surveillance cameras
Some of the largest surveillance companies in China recently launched a smart camera initiative with the aim of establishing clearer reference points for quality standards and adjustment throughout the industry.
The initiative, more or less translated as “true pixels, without false statements,” was presented at the Summit of the Surveillance and Safety Industry of Surveillance and Security of 3C JD.com.
Zohomo The reports of the participants in the event included Xiaomi, Hikvision, Haier, Ezviz, Dahua, Skyworth and others.
Adoption of driving
The Chinese and JD.com video industry association presented new technical specifications for intelligent domestic and consumption cameras.
Among other things, this standard covers measurable criteria for resolution, signal / noise relationship, color reproduction, information security requirements, intelligent monitoring and voice functions.
The group wants test methods consisting of all areas to ensure that the products that go on sale deliver what they say.
The new initiative expects to take energetic measures against the growing problem of cameras that are marketed and sold with false specifications, a problem that has long been a concern in China.
Companies behind the campaign “True pixels, without false claims” want to increase confidence among buyers, as well as add greater responsibility throughout the industry.
The collaboration shows the interest that camera manufacturers and suppliers have in the configuration of the next stage of the surveillance sector in China, which has become central both in consumer safety products and for the wider CCTV infrastructure.
JD.com announced that it would compromise more than 10 million yuan (approximately $ 1.37 million) in the next three years to support the adoption of new standards.
The funds will go to raise awareness, encourage (not enforce) compliance and offer promotional support to those products that successfully comply with the new criteria.
The framework is not just about consumer protection, but also to make things more fair for manufacturers.
By supporting technical claims against a recognized reference point, the standard could reduce confusion while helping products that tow the line to stand out better in an increasingly crowded market.
Companies in China are expected to begin to adopt the new rules in their product lines and marketing strategies very soon.
