Hikvision blazes innovation trail

Hangzhou firm looks to grow its presence in Internet market

A gang of robbers has just robbed a bank and fled with a car. By entering information about the robbers and the car, police officers are able to get video footage sent from surveillance cameras around the city and track their whereabouts within minutes.

This is no longer an imaginary scene that we see in Hollywood blockbusters. Such technology, developed by Hikvision Digital Technology Co, has already been used by several security departments around the world.
