Dahua introduces technology-driven solutions for modern schools

Dahua Technology, a world-leading video-centric AIoT solution and service provider, has launched a range of education-focused solutions and products aimed at transforming school environments.
 
With a focus on digital learning, efficient management, and enhanced student safety, Dahua’s new offerings are designed to address the needs of modern educational institutions.
 
The launch on November 15 introduced a range of smart education solutions under three primary pillars – Student-Centered Learning, Intelligent Student Safety, and Innovative School Management. In addition to these solutions, Dahua also revealed several new products tailored to optimize the educational experience.
 
“Education is the foundation for future generations, and at Dahua, we are committed to creating safe, innovative, and interactive learning environments,” said Sophie Pan, Enterprise Solution Manager at Dahua Technology. “Our latest solutions and products are designed to empower schools with the tools they need to support digital transformation, safeguard students, and enhance the overall learning experience.”
 

 
Dahua’s Student-Centered Learning solutions are built to support evolving educational models, particularly the shift towards hybrid and online learning. These solutions foster flexibility and enhance engagement, enabling students to learn effectively both in the classroom and remotely.
 

 
The Hybrid Learning Solution integrates in-person and online learning environments, allowing students to participate from anywhere. It enables educators to deliver seamless hybrid lessons that keep both remote and on-site students engaged.
 
By supporting flexible teaching models, the Hybrid Learning Solution addresses the need for continuity in learning, ensuring that all students receive an equally interactive and inclusive experience.

 
 

 
Classroom interaction is critical as it helps students learn actively, develop critical thinking and improve communications skills. Now classrooms will become even more interactive with Dahua’s cost-effective solutions such as the Deephub whiteboard paired with its education software suite including: Deephub Class, Deephub Canvas, Deephub Board, MDM, and document camera software. With these tools, combined with a rich ecosystem of partners, gamification is brought to the forefront, shifting students from passive to active learning.
 

 
Hands-on learning plays a key role in increasing students’ engagement and knowledge retention. To enhance the hands-on learning experience, Dahua has developed a mobile lab training cart that comes with a 4K camera and mechanical arms, providing full-view demonstrations for real-time learning. With this, the traditional training methods are replaced with a more integrated approach, where theory and practice are seamlessly combined to overcome common challenges such as unclear demonstrations and limited replay options.
 
According to Pan, the aforementioned solutions are designed to create an engaging, accessible experience for all students, whether they’re in the classroom or learning remotely. “With tools like our Hybrid Learning, Lecture Learning and mobile lab training cart, we aim to empower educators to bridge the gap between traditional and digital learning, providing students with the skills and flexibility they need for the future,” she said.
 

 
Recognizing the importance of campus security, Dahua’s Intelligent Student Safety solutions leverage advanced monitoring and access control to ensure that students and staff remain safe within school environments. These solutions enable schools to proactively manage potential risks and maintain a secure campus.
 

 
Campus safety and security is vital. Too many times students fall victim to school violence, while behaviors such as bullying and trespassing should be dealt with in the timeliest manner. In this regard, Dahua's access control system enables quick entry for authorized personnel and vehicles while blocking unauthorized individuals. Inside the campus, AI-based behavioral analysis can be used to detect potential threats and suspicious activities such as bullying, trespassing, aggressive movements and students loitering in restricted areas. Immediate alerts can then be issued to security personnel who can contain and manage the situation immediately.
 

 
Security personnel are an integral part to campus safety and security, and providing them with the necessary tools to help them do their job effectively is crucial. To that end, Dahua offers the monitoring center that integrates traditional video surveillance with AR technology to provide clear, panoramic and detailed views of the campus. Routine patrol needs can be met with the VR Patrol System which automates security patrols, reduces human oversight and ensures that no area is left unchecked. With this automation, the workload for security staff is significantly reduced, and potential lapses in coverage that could lead to safety breaches can also be prevented.
 

 
Coordination and information sharing among schools in a given district is of utmost importance in campus safety and security. Imagine there’s a suspicious individual at one school – wouldn’t it be a good idea if other schools nearby are immediately alerted so they can take the necessary action? This is where schools can be well served with Dahua’s Multi-School Management System, which connects all schools in a given region and improves the efficiency of cross-school responses by 50 percent. Additionally, the system optimizes evidence collection and provides immediate access to crucial data, resulting in response times cut down by an average of 4 hours. With this tiered approach – from school-level to department-level oversight – school operators can rest assured that incidents receive immediate attention at multiple levels, ultimately improving overall safety outcomes by 100 percent.
 
“Every school should be a place where students and staff feel completely safe,” Pan said. “Our Intelligent Student Safety solutions give schools the tools to stay ahead of potential threats, so everyone can focus on what matters most – learning and growth, without having to worry about safety.”
 

 
Dahua’s Innovative School Management solutions are geared toward streamlining daily administrative processes, allowing schools to improve operational efficiency and reduce the workload on educators and staff.
 

 
This solution automates attendance tracking and exam monitoring, eliminating the need for manual record-keeping. By integrating contactless attendance and AI-enabled examination management, the system improves accuracy and minimizes administrative time. The automated processes enable teachers to focus more on instruction, while supporting fairness and integrity in attendance and exam records.

 

"Our goal is to take the weight of routine tasks off the shoulders of teachers and staff,” Pan said. “With automated attendance and exam management, educators can spend less time on administration and more time doing what they do best – teaching and inspiring students.”
 

 
Complementing its educational solutions, Dahua has also launched several new products specifically designed to enhance the learning environment and improve administrative processes. These products provide additional tools for creating customized, comprehensive educational setups.
 

 
This advanced attendance management system offers contactless attendance tracking. By automating data collection and generating detailed reports, DSS Pro Edu improves accuracy and reduces administrative workload, enabling staff to concentrate on core educational tasks.
 

 
Designed for educational settings, the Classroom PTZ Camera, paired with DSS Pro Edu, supports attendance tracking, classroom behavior analysis, and exam monitoring. The camera’s dual-lens 4MP technology enables wide and close-up views, making it suitable for both recording classes and monitoring student behavior during exams. This multi-functional camera provides a cost-effective solution for tracking and recording essential classroom activities.
 

 
Smart classrooms will become even smarter with DeepHub, Dahua’s interactive whiteboard, two models under which are especially worth-mentioning. The ST420-S3, an upgraded version of the ST420 and equipped with features such as an NFC login, enhanced speakers and 65W Type-C charging, lets kids’ imagination run wild with a broad range of enhanced features including: handwriting recognition, formula calculation, mind mapping, dual-color writing, the ability to erase while writing, and five-finger to turn on/off the screen. But it’s not just the kids who can benefit – new system tools like split-screen and multi-page annotation make the job easier for teachers who can log into their Google or Microsoft accounts using the NFC card reader, ensuring a seamless experience across devices and platforms.
 
For a smoother, more precise writing experience, students and teachers can turn to Dahua’s S473, a whiteboard with capacitive touch technology, a 48-megapixel camera, an 8-microphone array, and voice tracking and auto-framing features.
 

 
Optimized for hybrid classrooms, Dahua’s audio system ensures high-quality sound for in-person and remote learning. Features like echo cancellation and MIMO management make it ideal for course recordings and live streams, providing an immersive audio experience that enhances the effectiveness of hybrid learning environments.
 

 
Lastly, Dahua has the mobile lab training cart, which, as mentioned earlier, plays a crucial role in hands-on learning. With cutting-edge features including: 4K resolution with 12 times magnification for detailed viewing, full-angle coverage to capture all perspectives, multi-screen simultaneous display, and local high-capacity storage, the cart makes sure that every student can see clearly, understand the material, learn effectively and receive the necessary skill development to become useful and productive adults in the society.
 
“With these new products, we're really focused on giving schools the tools to shape their ideal learning spaces,” Pan said. “Whether it’s seamless attendance tracking, engaging touch screens, or crystal-clear audio, we’re making it easier for educators to bring smart, impactful tech into the classroom that benefits everyone.”
 

 
Dahua’s new educational solutions and products present a comprehensive approach to fostering safe, interactive, and efficiently managed school environments. By focusing on Student-Centered Learning, Intelligent Student Safety, and Innovative School Management, Dahua’s offerings demonstrate how advanced technology can support educational institutions in adapting to modern demands.
 
As schools increasingly shift towards digital-first approaches, Dahua’s solutions provide institutions with the tools to facilitate hybrid learning and efficient management while ensuring a secure campus.
 
For security system integrators, these solutions highlight how IoT and AI-driven technologies can enhance security, learning, and operational efficiency within educational settings. Through these innovations, Dahua attempts to empower schools to cultivate optimal environments where students, educators, and administrators can thrive.
