Dahua Technology, a world-leading manufacturer and supplier of video surveillance products headquartered in Hangzhou, China cooperated with Eiffler Industrial Company for video wall surveillance project in Caracas, Venezuela.
The customer
Eiffler Industrial Company is the supplier of Petroleo De Venezuela S.A. which is also an oil exploration equipment manufacturer. Its products cover oil exploration, production and process. This cooperation has brought more opportunities and possibilities for Dahua.
A typical video wall is made up of a set of computer monitors or television screens that are arranged like tiles on a wall to give the effect of a single big screen. Generally speaking, video walls usually run on Windows-based operating systems. But, in Venezuela, the video wall needs to run on a Linux system since Windows is forbidden for use nationwide. Therefore, Dahua needed to ensure the video wall is capable of running on Linux system.
The compatibility of the system was an uncertain operational factor for Dahua at first in this project. Compared to Windows systems, video walls are more difficult to operate on Linux. It took at least 2 months, which is 4 hours a day, for the Dahua technology team to run tests. The whole experiment needed both sides’ engineers to discuss and coordinate together, and it needed third-party engineers’ remote support to work out the best result as well. Both sides were highly satisfied when they finally saw the Dahua logo on the video wall, running on Linux system.
