ODM/Factory in Hangzhou
Company Overview
Founded 2001 in Hangzhou by Fu Liquan, Dahua is the world's #2 video surveillance manufacturer with ~18% global market share (Omdia 2024). Public on SZSE (002236.SZ). 22,000+ employees, ~RMB 32B annual revenue. Industry leader in Starlight low-light (0.005 lux color) and proprietary HDCVI 4.0 HD-over-coax. TiOC (Three-in-One Camera) integrates AI + active deterrence (light + siren). ⚠️ CRITICAL: NDAA Section 889 (2019) named by Congress; FCC Covered List (March 2021); Entity List (2019, Xinjiang); DOD Chinese Military Companies List (2021); Texas Prohibited Technologies List (2025); state AG lawsuits in TX/FL/NE (2025) probing Lorex (historical Dahua consumer subsidiary now under Skywatch). Major OEM source for Lorex, Amcrest, Honeywell Essentials, EmpireTech. For North America consumer/SoHo needs, prefer NDAA-clean alternatives (Reolink, TP-Link VIGI, Uniview, Axis) or Imou (Dahua's semi-independent consumer brand).
