Description
Dahua Technology is one of China's biggest surveillance equipment makers. In February 2024, Dahua announced that it will establish a joint venture with Alat, a newly formed entity owned by Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund (PIF), to manufacture surveillance hardware in Saudi Arabia. The company's technology has been linked to the abuse of China's Uighur minority and its surveillance systems has also been deployed in the U.S, Vietnam, Mexico, UK and Brazil. Dahua confirmed it sells “skin color” analytics and defended them as “a basic feature of a smart security solution.” A Reuters report revealed that Myanmar's military junta is installing Chinese-built facial recognition cameras in key urban centers to strengthen its surveillance capabilities, with technology provided by Dahua alongside other Chinese surveillance giants, Hikvision and Huawei Technologies Co Ltd.
