anavid, the Paris-based specialist in AI-powered retail video analytics, is proud to announce its official partnership with Dahua Technology within the Dahua ECO Partner Program. Through this collaboration, anavid’s AI behaviour detection now integrates with Dahua’s video surveillance hardware and Dahua DSS Professional V8.7.0, giving retailers and system integrators a simple way to add retail-specific analytics to their existing Dahua installations.
Dahua is spotlighting the partnership on its global partner platform, Dahua Partner Alliances, in its “Vertical in Focus: Retail” series.
Why this partnership matters for retailers
Inventory shrinkage remains one of the biggest threats to retail margins, causing tens of billions in losses every year worldwide, with shoplifting making up a major portion. Modern stores rely on open shelves to create a better shopping experience, which means security must protect assets without getting in the way of genuine shoppers.
Yet in most stores, CCTV still depends on people watching multiple camera feeds at once. No security team can monitor every screen continuously, so incidents are missed and real-time oversight stays limited.
By bringing anavid’s AI behaviour detection into Dahua’s centralised video management, security operators can identify and respond to suspicious events more effectively, in high-risk aisles, without new camera hardware and without increasing staff.
What the anavid × Dahua integration brings
- AI detection on existing Dahua infrastructure: anavid’s behaviour detection works with Dahua cameras and Dahua DSS Professional V8.7.0, so retailers can add real-time shoplifting detection without a hardware overhaul.
- A clear path for Dahua integrators and customers: System integrators and end users can now add retail-specific behavioural analytics to the Dahua installations they already manage.
- A richer Dahua ECO ecosystem: anavid joins Dahua’s network of third-party AI solutions compatible with Dahua infrastructure.
- Joint projects across retail: Together, Dahua and anavid support commercial projects in key retail sectors, including supermarkets, specialty shops and pharmacies.
