Classic image analysis
The debut of the platform dates back to 2018. Since then, significant technical adaptations have been made and the camera performances have been optimized. A team of engineers has also managed to enable most of the recent Dahua cameras with 3rd party embedding options and this will be standard in the future. The Belgium based video analytics company ACIC was one of the DHOP partners.
Christophe Parisot, Chief Technology Officer of ACIC, looks back on this partnership. "ACIC is a global player in the VCA solutions sector. Our solutions, based on classic image analysis coupled with artificial intelligence, are at the cutting edge of technology. Our customers entrust us to provide their projects with ACIC's cost-effective solutions of various verticals embedded on Dahua cameras. Being part of the Dahua Hardware Open Platform Community gives us the chance to build the security industry together with Dahua."
