Building a new installation, expanding over a network or coordinating multiple areas.
Check the match
Bandwidth, recording/analytics channels, PoE power and jointly supported camera/NVR features.
AI-generated equipment concepts, not photographs of specified models.
Both systems can support remote viewing through compatible recorders and networking. Plan user accounts, updates and appropriate connectivity from the start.
Hikvision, from capture to playback
We coordinate cameras, recorders, cabling and operation as one system. Select the capabilities you need and test them before handover.
01IP camera
Bullet: a defined direction
A directional form for entrances, boundaries and corridors. Choose the lens for the target detail, as well as the width of the scene.
02IP camera
Turret: position the view
An adjustable ball-shaped head for ceiling or wall placement in shops and offices. Assess backlight and mounting height together with lens choice.
03Turbo HD · DVR
DVR: build on coaxial cabling
Receives supported analog HD camera signals, encodes and stores footage. A route for upgrading an existing installation after checking signal formats, resolution and cable condition.
04IP · NVR
NVR: bring network cameras together
Records and retrieves video received over the network. Match channels, incoming bandwidth, decoding and HDD capacity to the project. Built-in PoE is model-specific.
Equipment images illustrate product types. Models, lenses, capabilities and delivery terms are specified in your site proposal.
Choose the form for the view
Form helps placement. Image detail depends on the lens, light, distance and selected model.

Technology that makes footage useful
ColorVu / Smart Hybrid Light
Assess low-light colour imaging and model-specific IR/white-light modes. Test with moving targets in the actual night scene.
AcuSense
Supported models classify people and vehicles to filter events. Match camera, recorder and firmware capabilities.
Recording that fits the task
Set retention, bitrate, frame rate and continuous or event recording before sizing HDDs. Test search and export at handover.
Three brands. Choose for your operation.
Hikvision is the focus here. Dahua and TP-Link VIGI offer alternatives to assess against your existing equipment and workflow.
Customer favorite
Hikvision
Customers to consider it for
Offices, factories, warehouses or coordinated sites
Why compare it
DPI focuses on Hikvision designs, from Turbo HD / IP cameras to DVRs / NVRs, coordinating recording and events within the selected system.
Before choosing
Choose ColorVu or AcuSense for the actual scene; confirm models, analytics channels and management software.
Dahua
Customers to consider it for
Existing Dahua users, or projects comparing HDCVI and IP
Why compare it
Offers HDCVI and network cameras, including WizSense. Consider when assessing an existing system or comparing video analytics requirements.
Before choosing
Check recorder models, signal formats and supported AI combinations before an upgrade.
TP-Link VIGI
Customers to consider it for
Shops, offices and businesses starting an IP system with VIGI
Why compare it
VIGI offers IP cameras and NVRs, including PoE models. Assess for projects planning the site network and surveillance together.
Before choosing
Check models, hardware versions, central management and any required cross-brand features.
Customer fit is DPI design guidance, rather than a quality or price ranking. Compare day/night samples, event search, software and lifecycle costs, and verify interoperability by model.
LINK American StandardThe cabling DPI specifies for its systems
Reliable video starts with the right cable
DPI specifies LINK cabling as part of CCTV design, matching the cable model, equipment and acceptance tests to each mounting point.
Indoor IP cameras, and links between switches and the NVR.

Outdoor points that need power alongside data, such as cameras not powered by PoE.

Cameras in lift cars, where the cable travels with the car; routed with the lift contractor.
Conductor and environment
Specify solid copper and a jacket suited to indoor/outdoor exposure and building requirements. The LSZH example is an indoor cable.
Reach and PoE power
For conventional Ethernet, plan channels up to 100 m including patch cords, with application derating. Check per-port and total switch power.
Test the installed link
Agree cable-test criteria and reporting, then check simultaneous streams, night footage, playback and alerts on the installed system.
Model names and constructions are from LINK’s product list. Cable standards support the design; end-to-end performance is confirmed through the selected equipment, terminations, routing and project acceptance tests.
An outage is exactly when footage matters most. Without backup power, cameras and the recorder stop at once, and a sudden cut puts the recorder’s disks and video database at risk.

Capture and detect
A person walks into view. Supported AI models classify people and vehicles, capture faces and flag a virtual-line crossing, so alerts come from real events.
AI-generated equipment concepts, not photographs of specified models.
Scene, timing and event labels are illustrative, not a live feed or installation drawing. Person, vehicle, face and line-crossing detection depend on the camera or recorder model, firmware and settings; real results depend on angle, light and distance.
An operating concept, not an installation drawing. Devices, paths and interfaces are defined after the site survey.
Before you decide
How much recording storage will we need?
Agree the retention target first, then calculate capacity from camera count, video settings and recording schedules. Drive size alone does not determine the recording period.
Can cameras work with another recorder brand?
Check the exact models, firmware, connection method and required functions. Live view, recording and event features may have different compatibility limits.
From survey to support
The same six stages on every project, so the system is ready on handover day.
