Dahua Integrated Security, Fire, Network & Wi‑Fi

Centralised Dahua platform covering CCTV, access control with face recognition, integrated intruder alarms, addressable fire alarm system, campus Wi‑Fi, and gigabit switching — all monitored from a single pane of glass.

Project Scope

IP Cameras:32 Dahua cameras
Access Control:Face recognition on 8 doors
Fire Detection:Addressable panel + 45 detectors
Network:Gigabit switches with VLAN segmentation
Wi-Fi Coverage:12 APs across facility
Monitoring:Central console + wall display

The Challenge

A fast-growing manufacturing site needed unified safety and security across multiple buildings and floors. The facility produces home electronics including TVs and fridges, requiring comprehensive coverage of production lines, warehouses, and office areas.

Key Requirements:

  • Centralised monitoring instead of disparate systems
  • Evidential video coverage for production lines and entry points
  • Face recognition for staff access with clean audit trails
  • Intruder alerts linked to cameras for visual verification
  • Compliant fire detection across the entire facility
  • Secure, segmented network with reliable site-wide Wi‑Fi

Our Solution

We designed and deployed a Dahua-centred, fully integrated platform with clean separations at the network layer and simple, resilient operator workflows.

CCTV System

  • • 32 Dahua IP cameras sized per zone
  • • Production, perimeter, reception coverage
  • • Smart IVS rules at choke points
  • • Privacy zones where required

Access Control

  • • Face recognition terminals on 8 doors
  • • Role-based access schedules
  • • Anti-passback on sensitive areas
  • • Events linked to camera verification

Fire Alarm

  • • Addressable panel with 45 detectors
  • • Smoke, heat, manual call points
  • • Siren strobes throughout facility
  • • Integrated monitoring and alerts

Network

  • • Dahua gigabit core/edge switches
  • • VLAN segmentation for security
  • • PoE budgets sized for growth
  • • Reduced blast radius architecture

Wi-Fi

  • • 12 Dahua APs across facility
  • • High-bay/metal-dense coverage
  • • Reliable roaming for operations
  • • Segmented wireless networks

Control Room

  • • Central operator console
  • • Wall display for monitoring
  • • Standardised alarm workflows
  • • Audit-ready reporting

Outcomes

Single pane of glass for all security and safety systems
Faster emergency response with camera auto-verification
Better accountability with face recognition access logs
Resilient network foundation with segmented traffic
Scalable platform for future expansion
