While China’s production was once occupied by low cost and low quality low-end markets characterized several companies in the Yangtze Delta, surrounded by Shanghai, took a different path. Here they have created the model of Zhejiang, reshaping the stereotypical images of Chinese manufacturers.
Chinese supplier of security solutions are usually not considered further as a taxpayer, albeit important, the manufacture of cheap products. government investment in Chinese companies and small and medium enterprises high tech industry, coupled with low labor costs have increased, however, companies from Zhejiang. Familiar names include Dahua, Dali, and Hikvision Hisome for DVRs; Skyvision (a subsidiary of Groupe SSTC) for the DVR software; Group AB, Lihong Pearmain, and for matrices; H3C Solution IP Video; Obtelecom of optical fiber transmission, reformers for smart card solutions and Miax for fingerprints. They are now very focused on technology-based R & D investment and the requirement of product quality. Their existence is a conglomerate of a complete industrial chain of security equipment in central China and one of the most important industrial sector of China’s security.
Contributing to the success was the fact that a manufacturing license in central Zhejiang electrical engineering, textiles, chemicals, food and construction materials. This growth comes from the security sector Zhejiang ‘. “In Zhejiang, we have a good supply of various electronics industry, manufacturers benefit from strong security here.” Weiping Wang said, the president of Pearmain.
The Zhejiang provincial government priority and support entrepreneurship of local businesses in high-tech research and development. Zhejiang University and Zhejiang University of Technology also supported these efforts. Dali and Hikvision split of two national research institutes in Zhejiang Province.
In addition, make significant investments in public infrastructure and to support the production of goods in bulk at low cost to both domestic consumption and export. Zhejiang has become one of the richest provinces in China, is the “model of Zhejiang.
The down-to-earth personality of Zhejiang residents also creates “Zhejiang spirit” which is still a legend in Chinese. R & D should be considered as the basis for the further development of society Zhejiang enterprises . Not only that sales growth is important, but what counts is always the long-term management.
Below we have highlighted the way manufacturers Security Zhejiang use their technical expertise to build capacity and expand their activities in this sector.

Hikvision serves mainly medium and high-end market, but it is also planning an entry-level products, how to start a four-channel standalone DVR. Then there is a full range all the way from bottom to top of range. Overall, the company of innovative products, cameras, video servers and storage devices (DVR and IP storage is to concentrate). “Having the full range of products for video surveillance over IP, the next step to strengthen our overseas marketing and sales teams,” said Hu. “Ultimately, we expect a 50-50 split of sales (export over domestic) in three years.”
IP Video Surveillance Platforms
H3C
H3C is a leading provider of China-based IP networking products and solutions. The offer includes routers, Ethernet switches, wireless LAN, security, voice and video IP, SOHO products and network management systems. H3C earlier by Huawei, a provider of telecommunications networks, before they sold in 2006 include 3COM. Recently started his H3C IVS (IP CCTV) solution.
The solution replaces H3C IVS analog video transmission equipment, optical and matrices of control of IP network. The system has an open architecture standard and intelligent management for large projects to control dense, high quality images is needed. The surveillance solution H3C TSI has been presented in Fushun City, Futian District, Shenzhen City and the Beijing Olympics of transportation, etc. China ₩ 2,006 (IOC China Information Organization) Annual Awards.
As innovative IP-based network solutions provider, H3C architecture provides new ideas and technologies Surville video. For example, H3C has also been the first to adopt the Ethernet Passive Optical Network (EPON) Technoloy in video surveillance. This solution uses passive optical splitter also split an optical input in a number of optical outputs. This feature is necessary when a single optical preamplifier is used to drive a large number of optical amplifiers.
In establishing the monitoring of IP networks in developed countries, is convinced that H3C has its edge in video surveillance and strong distribution channels, it offers many possibilities. To further its goals, he sees the partnership with traditional societies, while conducting a video IP surveillance solution provider.
Fiber Optic Transmission Systems
VOSCOM
VOSCOM, which specializes in systems with fiber optic transmission, was founded by a group of professors from Zhejiang University of Technology. In addition, Zhejiang Public Fiber Communication Technology Laboratory research and development conducted by these teachers. In 2000, the company launched the first fiber optic products for video streaming uncompressed China. In 2001, Voscom all-in-one, the transfer of integrated video, audio, data, Ethernet and Telecommunications. “Since 1998,” said Chief Executive Officer, Jacky Xu, “we support the optical fiber transmission security, but at that time spoke very few players over optical fiber. It was not until 2000 that many players have started on the market. ” Unlike its competitors, Voscom transfers uncompressed video. They said, Jacky has focused on decoding technology, but the video quality compromise.
For now Voscom emphasizes innovation, often against their competition with product launches. He also developed the EPON “solutions with a foreign company. Compared to other solutions, has developed Voscom open platform, which is a high degree of integration and flexibility in the central administration. Recently launched its system transmission Voscom CMS, which supports transmission in all digital video formats (uncompressed digital video, MPEG-2, MPEG-4 and H.264). This replaces the conventional transformer, which is transmitted over the IP network over standardized and centralized management more flexible. The solution is used in many projects safe city. “Different areas of China, and try different bandwidths, all the videos on the different networks to connect.
