The iF Design Award is among the most prestigious and largest design competitions in the world. Since 1953, designers, manufacturers and users have looked to iF as a sign of good design. With 6,402 entries from 54 countries, the iF Design Award has seen a record number of submissions this year. Never before have so many products and designs been entered into the competition. The members of the jury faced a difficult task.

After a 3-day long examination and deliberation by a panel of 63 international jurors who are experts in design, industry and architecture, the Dahua “Eye in the Sky Robot” industrial camera, stood out as the winner.

What distinguished the Dahua industrial camera is the advantage in innovation and product design, resulting from graphic processing technologies as well as design experience accumulated from over a decade. This product demonstrated the core competency of Dahua's R&D centre and institute of advanced technologies in ISP, software, algorithms, hardware, structure, ALT testing, etc.

For Dahua, it is not the first time the company has been recognised by an internationally renowned design award. In 2014, the Dahua HD Sync Auto Focus Camera won an iF Product Design Award. The same year also saw the Dahua Full-HD TV Box recognised by the iF Product Design Awards as well as a Red Dot Award. The Dahua NKB5000 Ultra-high Definition (UHD) Decoding Network Keyboard won both an iF Design award in 2017 and a Red Dot Award in 2017, the latter of which was also given to the Dahua Full Coverage Positioning PTZ Camera.

We have every reason to expect the award winning list to grow longer in the future as it’s a natural result of practicing Dahua’s core values of innovation, quality and service. The increasing number of award winning products confirms the efforts that Dahua has made to realise its mission of “Enabling a Safer Society and Smarter Living”.
