Dahua delivers video-centric AIoT security solutions across key areas
Dahua’s offers a broad range of security-related products, including network cameras (IPC), NVR, HDCVI cameras/recorders, PTZ cameras, thermal cameras, access control, video intercom, alarms, mobile & traffic products, display & control, VMS, and more. Dahua also states its products are built on an open platform designed for third-party integration via a standard SDK.
Video surveillance
A complete surveillance ecosystem across:
Network cameras (IPC) and network recorders (NVR)
HDCVI cameras and HDCVI recorders
PTZ and thermal cameras
Specialist categories (for example, explosion-proof / anti-corrosion ranges are listed as product families in Dahua’s catalogue navigation)
Access control & time attendance
Dahua includes Access Control & Time Attendance is designed around four core strengths—fast, accurate, convenient, and trusted—delivering a compact, cost-effective face recognition solution with intuitive management.
It provides rapid recognition in under 0.3 seconds per person, a claimed accuracy of up to 99.5% with strong performance in challenging environments, and a convenient touchless access experience with flexible installation options and multiple management interfaces. For privacy and security, it also includes anti-spoofing protection designed to detect and prevent photo or video-based attacks.
Video intercoms
Dahua’s video intercom range is built to simplify communication between visitors, residents, and property management, offering a versatile mix of IP, Wi-Fi, 2-wire, and analogue solutions suited to houses through to large apartment communities.
With CCTV and alarm integration for added intelligence and security, the platform supports both PC client and mobile app management—enabling security staff to oversee sites from a central workstation while residents can answer the door remotely from virtually anywhere.
Open, standard SIP support helps streamline third-party integration, and Dahua’s emergency phone terminals further extend capability by combining surveillance, information display, and management features, with multiple device types available to suit different installation requirements.
alarms
Dahua’s wireless intrusion alarms use RF-HD image transmission to deliver high-resolution alarm images/video quickly for fast verification and evidence, with multi-band support (including 2.4 GHz plus sub-GHz options such as 433/868 MHz) to suit indoor and longer-range outdoor applications.
The alarm hub can also integrate Dahua IP cameras (IPC) as visual detectors on the same LAN, enabling alarm-to-video linkage (automatic recording when a detector triggers or when camera analytics events occur), and it can interconnect over the network with NVR/XVR recorders and VTH indoor monitors for more seamless arming/disarming, remote control, and status checking—without relying on traditional dry-contact wiring.
VMS and central management
Professional is a centralized management system designed for large-scale and industrial applications.






Mobile app access remote viewing & notifications
Dahua’s DMSS mobile app listing describes remote live view/playback and push notifications when alarms are triggered.
