Mr. Ke Li, Dahua President, and Mr. Yong Ying, Dahua Senior VP, gave their opening remarks to launch the event. Mr. Yun Xie, CEO of Hangzhou Huacheng Network Co. Ltd. (branded as Imou), gave a keynote speech on “Gathering and Growing”, sharing the achievements and big moments of Imou since the brand upgrade last year, and elaborating on products, Imou service system, brand communication, and other issues. Mr. Xie pointed out that Imou will continue to deepen its efforts in the consumer IoT industry, continuously expand in the global market, and will strive to enable everyone to enjoy a smart life.

Mr. Hongwu Zhao, Director of China Daily Hardware Technology Development Center, shared the report on the development trend of the smart lock industry. He pointed out that the entire smart door lock market is still a blue ocean market, and the industry is positioned to be the most promising area to experience a market breakout. Mr. Xianwen Dai, Head of Business Operation-Industrial from Alibaba, gave a speech on the new era of cross-border trading. As an important partner of Imou, Alibaba firmly believes that the internet can help create a more beneficial environment by enabling companies like Imou to use innovation and technology to grow and compete more effectively in the domestic and global economy.

The event saw the launch of many new heavyweight high-tech products for the domestic market, among which there was the highly anticipated Imou V8i Smart Lock - Imou’s first smart lock with 3D AI facial recognition technology to achieve more secured facial unlocking, allowing users to bid farewell to keys, free their hands, and enjoy more relaxed lives.

For the overseas market, the release of the Imou Ranger IQ received strong attention. As the first AI-powered IoT camera with capabilities to “watch, listen, speak, and act”, the Ranger IQ can detect sounds/motion, identify human beings from moving objects or pets, warn off intruders with a built-in siren, and act as the centre of the alarm system to collaborate with detectors.

The product launch also featured the release of the Wireless Security System in the overseas market. The brand new Imou Wireless Security System comes with the latest camera repeater technology, which allows for unparalleled long range coverage. The system also features plug-and-play setup, thus easily connecting with other security cameras.
