James Wang, Dahua VP and GM at Dahua UK & Ireland, commented: “We are very pleased to welcome Risco Group as an authorised distributor. Following an extensive analysis of the market, it quickly became clear that Risco Group was the ideal partner for Dahua. Risco’s expertise in distribution, sales, marketing and e-commerce was hugely appealing, along with the company’s long-standing relationships, knowledge and expertise of the UK market. The new partnership gives us a dedicated channel through which we can supply our intelligent and connected video-based security solutions, which help enhance efficiency and reduce cost across a wide range of different industries.”

Featuring AI capabilities, Dahua’s security solutions are some of the most advanced in the world and are now also capable of analysing data. This means that video is no longer confined to just security and surveillance, but can be seamlessly extended to applications such as fire detection and suppression, video analytics, facial recognition and ANPR, payments and attendance and retail analytics. “Driving Innovation to an AIoT Future” is the company’s motto. Dahua will be introducing a set of series of core products including AI (Wizsense/Wizmind), full-colour technology which enables effective performance under extreme low light conditions as well as HD-over-Coax HDCVI 6.0.

Commenting on the partnership, Steve Riley, Risco UK & Ireland Commercial Director: “Installers today are demanding greater integration of intruder and CCTV applications to increase cross and upsell opportunities and lower their operational costs with parallel installations. We are delighted we can now provide installers with a much wider product selection, allowing them to benefit from the cutting-edge technologies from both Dahua and Risco – all available through a single supplier."
