CITY OF INDUSTRY, Calif. – Hikvision wants integrators to be aware it is more than just a manufacturer of video surveillance equipment. The company announced a Q1 market push for its integrated lineup of video intercom and access control solutions. The activities include a full range of initiatives including market awareness outreach, increased training for dealers and users, demonstration equipment, and sales incentives that will continue through March 31, 2023.

“We are committed to helping our dealers and end users make every entryway more secure than ever,” said John Xiao, Vice President of Marketing, Hikvision USA. “Our unique and extensive offering of video intercoms and door control solutions delivers reliable and cost-effective protection for every installation, helping to eliminate potential threats, liabilities, and needless losses.”

Hikvision product lines included in these promotions include entryway and internal intercom stations using IP or two-wire communications, single and multi-door access controllers, and a variety of both smart managed and unmanaged PoE networking switches. The intercoms also work with video security cameras and can often be centrally managed via the HikCentral video management system (VMS).

Applications for these products include single family residences, multi-family apartment buildings, and commercial office buildings. In each case, one or more entrance stations are integrated with internal stations in each apartment, office, or other desired locations. Video intercoms provide visual confirmation of who is requesting entry to the premises and can be integrated with access control to provide for easy authorized admissions. Where appropriate, these systems can also be integrated with video security systems for completely seamless functionality.
