Hikvision (spelling: HIKVISION) is a Chinese provider of video surveillance products and solutions founded in 2001.
Overview
According to its own website as of 2018, the company employs over 20,000 people and is listed on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange. It is majority owned by the state.
In 2015, Hikvision had sales of $ 3.88 billion. This corresponds to a sales increase of 47 percent compared to the previous year.
Products
The "Darkfighter" product line includes IP cameras . The "Lightfighter" series is designed for situations with strong backlighting and can also be used for license plate recognition.
Hikvision has developed the HD-TVI standard, which allows HD videos to be transmitted in an analog transmission standard on conventional coaxial cable without interference. HD-TVI is primarily used where the conventional cabling of an existing video surveillance system is already available.
In 2019 it became known that the company had advertised a surveillance camera that it could also be used by ethnic minorities , such as B. Uighurs , can recognize. After critical inquiries regarding Chinese human rights violations against Uyghurs, the company deleted the product page.
