Yangzhong Hu, president of Hikvision, said: "We are very proud of being chosen by Agricultural Bank of China for the high performance and stability of our company's products."

While more than 80 camera vendors in the security industry were eager to gain a foothold in this important area, Hikvision was selected because of its leadership in digital surveillance, as well as excellent product performance and support, according to the company. Hikvision will supply its camera products and technical support services to create monitoring solutions for the bank.

This endorsement not only demonstrates that Hikvision's camera products are up to international standards but also confirms that the company is equipped with the know-how and resources to play an important role in the international security and surveillance market, the company further states.

"Hikvision is honored to provide the sophisticated products that ensure a secure environment for the Agricultural Bank of China," said Polo Cai, vice president of Hikvision. "This endorsement has definitely motivated us to develop more powerful and cost-effective surveillance products to meet the various requirements from customers worldwide."

In addition to cameras, Hikvision's DVR products are also listed in the Agricultural Bank of China's tender as they have been for a number of years now.
