Economy, quality and short delivery times

He sees economic and technical advantages as essential success factors: Due to the enormous demand for cameras, Hikvision generates corresponding purchasing volumes in the area of electronic components. These cost-saving effects were reflected in economical prices for industrial cameras without having to cut back on quality. In addition to financial aspects, technical know-how and flexibility in development is another crucial factor,"Soliman explains. Of Hikvision's more than 20,000 employees, around 9,000 work in R&D. Thanks to the resources at Hikvision's disposal, we are able to offer our customers a technically mature and attractively priced package. This includes both a constantly growing portfolio of standard cameras and the ability to design custom cameras within a very short period of time."
