Ever wondered how Hikvision is doing its bit for Mother Earth? Well, it's not by chance - it's a deeply ingrained part of our culture and everyday operations.
We're not just sitting in our labs, inventing the next-generation security gadgets. We're also constantly striving to craft technologies and products that don't just benefit our partners and end users, but also the planet. We're digging into the low-carbon thinking and green practices that ensure we squeeze every bit of potential out of our resources. That's the Hikvision way.

We're not just sitting in our labs, inventing the next-generation security gadgets. We're also constantly striving to craft technologies and products that don't just benefit our partners and end users, but also the planet. We're digging into the low-carbon thinking and green practices that ensure we squeeze every bit of potential out of our resources. That's the Hikvision way.
We know that even small changes in our manufacturing processes can make a big difference. That's why we continue to research best practices to reduce waste and minimize footprint.
To increase the proportion of clean energy we use, in 2022 alone, Hikvision purchased 32,852 MWh of green energy, including solar, wind and hydro power, and generated 4,508.3 MWh of photovoltaic power ourselves.
Tonglu Manufacturing Complex
9.118 MW of rooftop solar panels, with an expected annual power output of 8 million kWh
Wherever possible, we use clean materials in the manufacture of our products. For example, we use a no-paint process to minimize wastewater and volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions when producing our speed gates and turnstiles.
We maximize the use of eco-friendly materials in product packaging. Using folded cardboards instead of expanded polyethylene to cushion the interior of product packaging alone can reduce our plastic use by 27.9 tons per year.
As an organization with a global reach, Hikvision understands the importance of ensuring that sustainability concepts are at the core of our daily operations around the world.
AI-powered sensors detect the presence of people in meeting rooms and automatically turn off lights and air conditioning when a room is empty. Thanks to intelligent energy mgmt., Hikvision's energy consumption per unit of revenue continues to decrease over the years.
When we design and build our office parks, we control the total amount of stormwater runoff and improve the way stormwater is recycled and reused for landscape pond replenishment, road washing, sprinkler irrigation, and more.
Providing 4,200 virtual machines on 500 computing service nodes, Hikvision’s R&D cloud platform cuts electricity consumption by nearly 5,000 MWh and carbon emissions by nearly 4,000 tons per year.
We are implementing a paperless office philosophy. Where possible, meetings are held online and printed materials are replaced by their digital equivalents. We also launched a new business travel platform that promotes low-carbon mobility and hospitality.
We prioritize and continue to implement technologies that optimize the energy consumption of our products, incorporating green thinking into technological innovation. By leveraging electric power-saving devices and green digital technologies, we are committed to further reducing our environmental footprint and promoting sustainable practices in all aspects of our product development.

Our CCTV camera without an external power supply, Solar-powered Security Camera reduces electricity consumption by approximately 80 kWh per year.
This innovative approach results in a reduction of about 56.7 kg of CO2 emissions per year for each camera, contributing to a greener and more sustainable environment.

The eDVR Series is another leap forward. Thanks to eSSD technology, an eDVR reduces energy consumption by almost 45% over conventional DVRs. The energy saved in one year is equivalent to what’s absorbed by a mature tree in the same period.
DarkFighterS technology produces color images in ambient light as low as 0.0003 lux, significantly delaying the need for additional lighting. In dark-ness, users can set motion-triggered supplemental lighting instead of “always-on” lighting to reduce energy use while maintaining security.

By simplifying the encapsulation with better dissipation, our LED displays with flip-chip COB can reduce power consumption by around 45% and screen body temperature by 5-10° C.

We continue to optimize power consumption, too. For example, select Ultra Series Network Cameras feature a low-power mode. The camera continues to operate, but only captures images when events occur, saving enough energy to charge around 2,100 smartphones per year.
