Brand in Hangzhou
Company Overview
Imou (formerly Lechange, rebranded Oct 2018) is the global consumer IoT video brand of Dahua Technology (002236.SZ), operated through Hangzhou Huacheng Network Technology. Serves 40M+ registered users with 80M+ cloud-connected devices in 100+ countries. Product line: indoor/outdoor/PT/4G/battery/bulb cameras, video doorbells, smart locks. Key tech: IMOU SENSE self-developed AI (99% human/vehicle accuracy). Imou Open Platform provides OEM/ODM SDK/API access; Imou Protect subscription ($X/yr) bundles cloud storage + AI + reports; Imou Glow is B2B SaaS. ⚠️ Imou shares infrastructure with Dahua (FCC Covered List, Entity List, DOD Chinese Military Companies List); US retail compliance teams scrutinize Imou SKUs. NOTE: Most Imou consumer cameras do NOT expose ONVIF/RTSP — locked to Imou Life App ecosystem, unlike Reolink. For NA retail/SoHo channels, viable with SKU-level due diligence.
