By utilizing AIoT technologies and scenario-based innovations, Dahua provides SMBs with scalable, efficient, and reliable tools to enhance security and operational efficiency.
For small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs), managing security effectively while keeping costs under control can be challenging.
Property loss due to intrusion theft or fire hazards, difficulties in managing internal personnel and visitor access, delays in preventing and handling abnormal events, poor experiences with access to meeting rooms, and advertising, as well as high costs of deploying equipment in on-grid and no-power environments, are common challenges faced by many business owners.
While technology continues to advance, many SMBs still use outdated or fragmented security measures, which may leave gaps in their protection strategies.
To address these issues, Dahua Technology now offers tailored SMB Solutions. By utilizing AIoT technologies and scenario-based innovations, Dahua provides businesses with scalable, efficient, and reliable tools to enhance security and operational efficiency.
Addressing key security challenges
SMBs often struggle with property loss, high operational costs, and complex management requirements. Dahua’s SMB Solutions are designed to tackle these challenges head-on, offering a range of innovative technologies tailored to specific scenarios.
“In perimeter scenarios, for instance, our triple-lens camera enables 100-meter intrusion protection, reducing deployment costs while minimizing property loss,” said Allen Liu, SMB Solution Director at Dahua Technology.
Dahua’s offering not only protects business assets but also simplifies installation and operational costs, making it ideal for SMBs with tight budgets. For warehouses, thermal temperature detection technology offers an additional layer of safety by providing fire hazard alerts.
“This helps avoid significant damage caused by fire and ensures peace of mind for warehouse operators,” Liu added.
Additionally, AI intrusion detection and AcuPick technology enable rapid event response and quick discovery, ensuring that businesses can address potential issues promptly.
Empowering efficiency with AI Integration
Dahua’s SMB Solutions goes beyond traditional security measures by integrating cutting-edge artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities with non-CCTV technologies. This holistic approach ensures that SMBs can streamline their operations while maintaining high levels of security.
“Our solutions integrate CCTV AI functions with wireless alarm systems and access control systems to provide comprehensive security,” Liu explained.
In factory settings, for instance, the TiOC camera (Three-in-One Camera series) offers perimeter protection, while face recognition terminals and automatic number plate recognition (ANPR) systems enhance access control.

These technologies work together to prevent unauthorized access and ensure that only authorized personnel can enter restricted areas. Centralized management platforms further enhance operational efficiency.
“Features like E-map visual operation and system linkage allow businesses to manage their security systems seamlessly, reducing complexity and improving response times,” Liu pointed out. By integrating various security components into a single platform, SMBs can achieve greater control and operational clarity.
Global applications and success stories
Dahua’s SMB Solutions have been successfully implemented across diverse industries and regions, showcasing their adaptability and effectiveness. In Europe, for example, thermal solutions are widely used in villas and car dealerships to enhance security.
“These solutions work in tandem with security operation centers to provide real-time monitoring and rapid response,” Liu said.
In Asia, the TiOC solution has gained popularity among factories for its ability to deter intrusions effectively. Vehicle management solutions, such as ANPR technology, have also become increasingly popular.
By automating vehicle access, these solutions eliminate the need for manual barrier control, enhancing convenience and efficiency for users.
“ANPR systems support seamless, non-stop vehicle access and can include two-way video talk functionality for visitors,” Liu said.

This technology is widely used in factories, apartments, and shopping malls, highlighting its versatility and effectiveness across different SMB scenarios.
Dahua offers a total of 15 solutions tailored to various scenarios, including perimeter protection, vehicle management, and more. Each solution is designed with the specific needs of SMBs in mind, ensuring maximum value and effectiveness.
Scalability and affordability
One of the key strengths of Dahua’s SMB Solutions is its scalability, which allows businesses to choose from a range of advanced and basic options.
“We mainly promote advanced solutions with AI performance, but for businesses with budget constraints, basic solutions are also available,” Liu explained.
This flexibility ensures that SMBs of all sizes can access effective security solutions without exceeding their financial capacity.
The ability to scale solutions based on business needs is particularly valuable for SMBs that are looking to grow. By starting with basic solutions and upgrading to advanced options as their needs evolve, businesses can achieve long-term security and operational efficiency.
Adapting to evolving trends
Dahua’s commitment to innovation is driven by continuous customer feedback and advancements in technology. The company’s solutions are designed to address the evolving demands of SMBs while staying ahead of industry trends.
“Customer feedback is the foundation of our solutions,” Liu said. “In overseas markets, different countries have unique requirements. For example, in Asia, vehicle entrance solutions need to support motorbikes, while in Latin America, multiple authentication methods are essential.”
These insights have shaped innovations such as WizColor technology, which enhances image quality and AI performance, and AcuPick technology, which accelerates event searches for quicker responses.
Dahua also addresses specific needs in rural and remote areas with solar-powered solutions, ensuring reliable outdoor security even in challenging environments.
Cloud vs. on-premises solutions
When it comes to infrastructure, SMBs have varying preferences for cloud-based and on-premises solutions. Dahua’s offerings cater to both options, ensuring flexibility for businesses with different operational requirements.
“Cloud adoption is growing, but the choice ultimately depends on the specific needs and infrastructure of the SMB,” Liu said. “Factories, hotels, and schools often prefer on-premises solutions for localized control, while chain stores and offices opt for cloud-based systems for their lightweight and convenient features.”
The flexibility to choose between cloud and on-premises solutions allows SMBs to tailor their security infrastructure to their specific needs. This adaptability ensures that businesses can achieve the right balance of cost, efficiency, and functionality.
Overcoming common SMB challenges
SMBs often face unique security challenges that differ from those of larger enterprises. While larger businesses require complex system integrations and operational capabilities, SMBs are primarily focused on addressing security, management, and user experience challenges.
“With AI technology improving and IoT integration becoming more accessible, SMB solutions are becoming increasingly powerful and affordable,” Liu said. This affordability ensures that even small businesses can invest in advanced security systems without straining their budgets.
To further enhance accessibility, Dahua provides efficient delivery tools and cloud-based technologies, ensuring that SMBs can quickly and easily implement their chosen solutions.
Bridging security and efficiency
Dahua’s SMB Solutions demonstrate that advanced security and operational efficiency can go hand in hand. By combining AI technology, IoT integration, and a customer-centric approach, Dahua empowers SMBs to overcome their unique challenges and achieve long-term success.
“Our solutions are designed to provide powerful security capabilities while remaining affordable and easy to use,” Liu concluded. “With these solutions, SMBs can focus on growing their businesses while ensuring the safety and security of their operations.”
As SMBs continue to adapt to evolving market demands, Dahua’s innovative solutions provide a reliable foundation for security and operational efficiency.
