HANGZHOU, China - Wednesday, 24. August 2022

(BUSINESS WIRE)--For the first time in history, Antarctica has a video security project, developed by Dahua Technology: the company donated 15 security cameras, which were installed in scientific bases on the "white continent" to enable 24-hour footage, increase contact and connectivity with scientists on the ground, and improve knowledge of local fauna and meteorology.

Dahua not only donated devices but also developed them specifically for this project, taking into account that it is a very cold, remote area with little connectivity.
