Installation is a significant part of any monitoring
camera. It is something that installers need to carefully consider and think
about before purchasing any equipment. The camera structures may affect the
steps required to complete the task, the cost that can be incurred, the number
of people needed, etc.
As a world-leading video-centric AIoT solution and
service provider, Dahua has a lot in store for us in terms of making camera
installation simple, quick and user-friendly. Its recently launched 5E initiative focuses on
user-centered design and aims to provide customers with efficient operations,
cost reduction, security guarantees, and value enhancement. Easy
Installation, one of Dahua 5E’s key components, refers to easy
hardware installation and easy software deployment. For hardware, Dahua
constantly optimizes their structural design, tools requirements, guide
materials, process safety, etc., so as to improve the hardware's ease of
installation. For software, Dahua continuously optimizes their accessibility,
flexibility, complexity, and correctness, thus enhancing the easy installation
of software products.
Here are some of the highlights of Dahua 5E’s Easy Installation:
Dahua PTZ
Pain
Points:
-
Different installation
requires different brackets. Typically,
only wall brackets are included in the
product accessories; the ceiling mounting brackets need to be purchased
separately. Agents must store both of these
brackets, which occupies significant warehouse storage space and incurs more
transportation cost. Installers need
to confirm the installation position first to be able to select a suitable bracket type.
-
Installation of dome camera is complex. When
installing dome cameras. Installing a ceiling-mounted dome camera generally needs to disassemble the cover, fix the equipment with the
top wall using screws, and then install and fix the ball
cover. This with no doubt takes a long time to complete. What’s more, water vapors may enter the device during
installation, making the video blurry and unclear.
Solutions:
-
2-in-1 Bracket. It supports both ceiling and wall mounting, reducing warehousing and
transportation costs and enabling installers to install PTZ cameras using just
one bracket regardless of the application scenario.
-
Quick-to-Install Structure. The quick-to-install metal plate and fastener eliminate the need to disassemble
the dome cover, reducing installation steps, increasing work efficiency, and
reducing the risk of having water vapor inside the camera.
-
Remote Adjustment. The
PTZ system supports remote camera adjustment for optimal monitoring range. No
need for manual angle adjustment on site.
Application Scenarios: retail store, villa
Dahua IPC
Pain
Points:
-
The
structure of certain products require relatively more manpower to install.
Inflexible structural design may consume more installation time. Also, cameras
used in special scenarios cannot be adjusted in three axes and are not
adaptable for various mounting planes.
Solutions:
-
Quick-to-Install Eyeball Structure. It
offers a fastener design that does not require additional screws, and a clip
design that prevents the camera from falling during installation. It is also
equipped with a tightening screw that can be used to fasten the camera
enclosure, camera body and base structure together, which helps stabilize the
device and prevent unnecessary movements. In
addition, with just a single tightening screw, the entire camera
can be locked
to the quick-mount panel base to prevent it from being stolen.
-
IP
Adjustable Three-axis Structure. The
body of the camera presents a spherical design, enabling it to be flexibly adjusted through
tilt and rotation. Also, the
circular design of the enclosure can be adjusted through
unlimited pan direction. Overall,
the camera
is adjustable in three axes, enabling it to be easily installed in a wide range of complex and uneven mounting planes.
Application Scenarios: cafe, parkland
Dahua ITC Cardan Bracket 8019
Pain Points:
-
High Labor Cost, High
Accident Risk. Conventional bracket structure requires at least
two people to install; one to hold the camera and one to install it. This incurs more labor cost and
presents high accident risk when installing from high spots.
-
High Material Cost. Installers will need a ladder and other equipment just to install the camera.
-
Long Installation Time. A traditional bracket usually takes around 30 minutes to install.
Solutions:
-
Quick-mount Structure Design. It
has a quick release plate that can be attached to
the camera to make it more secure. Its snap joint design does not need
additional screws and another person to install the device. One person can
install it in no time. It also offers two
screw spindles for flexible angle adjustment and a load
capacity of 10kg, making the installation more stable and less wobbly. It
significantly reduces installation time by 60%.
Application Scenarios: highway, urban roads
HDCVI
Pain
Points:
-
Long
installation time, high labor cost, and complex surveillance system deployment
process.
Solutions:
-
xxQ (Lite
& Pro) Quick-to-Install Eyeball Camera. It is equipped
with a thin quick-to-install panel separated from other components. Only
two steps are needed when installing: fix the quick-to-install panel in place
and attach the other components.
-
Cooper-U
Series Quick-to-Install Eyeball Camera. The inside of the outer cover is formed by molding
one piece to form the sphere wrapping cavity and the shell disassembling
button. It only needs two screws to fix the quick-to-install panel in place.
-
Universal
Joint Bullet Camera. It significantly eliminates the hassle of constantly adjusting
screws and camera angle when installing the device.
-
Quick-to-Install
PT Camera. The original product package contains two quick-to-install panels (wall mount
and in-ceiling mount), providing multiple installation options. Through the DMSS app, the Pan & Tilt function (Pan 0-355° & Tilt 0-90°) enables
the user to remotely adjust the camera angle for optimal monitoring coverage.
Application Scenarios:
-
Indoor: lobby, coffee shop, warehouse, retail store
-
Outdoor: parking
lot, playground, park, villa
-
Panoramic: hallway, shopping mall, public garden, residential area
