The traditional hardware manufacturer in the Internet of Things era

During the period of 2010, Premier Wen Jiabao's government work report clearly put forward the first attention to the development of the Internet of Things. Since then, the development of China's Internet of Things has been formally included in the national development strategy. Nowadays, the Internet of Things industry has formed a scale. The products of the Internet of Things can also be said to be endless, spanning smart homes, smart transportation, smart medical care, smart grids, and smart logistics.

For consumers, the most concerned is the home intelligence and home security that are closely linked with themselves. This has also led to smart homes becoming hot spots for various manufacturers in the industry chain. Operators, IT giants, and Internet startups And so on are vigorously developing the smart home industry. In 2015, China Unicom held a “Wisdom Warrior” conference and announced that it entered the home Internet sector in a high-profile manner. Among them, smart home is one of its core areas. In addition to operators, IT giants at home and abroad are also starting to deploy smart homes. In foreign markets, Gooogle spent nearly 4 billion US dollars to buy Nest Lab and Dropcam two home automation companies.

Nowadays, everyone wants to have a share. For intelligent doorbells, in recent years, well-known brands like Yikang and Yunshitong have launched new products one after another. The intelligent doorbell is no longer satisfied with transmitting only voice signals. Interconnection with mobile phone APP, providing video voice, automatic alarm / camera / camera and other functions. In the face of this menacing trend, traditional doorbell manufacturers are also faced with upgrading their industrial models. However, if they want to successfully develop smart video doorbells, they not only need to develop APPs, but also need to address the stability of remote video transmission, message push, and two-way video. Technical difficulties such as intercom, lack of funds and software development technologies have caused doorbell hardware manufacturers to become passive to a certain extent.

How to reduce costs and easily enter the intelligent video doorbell industry, these problems have emerged with the emergence of various types of solution providers. Xu Zhao, CEO of Zhongyun Video, a provider of remote video solutions, said: “We provide sophisticated industry solutions. Video doorbell solutions are one of them.

Control sustainable operations, thereby effectively increasing hardware manufacturers' product competitiveness. It is worth mentioning that the program also supports customization, skinning, etc. It is a major favorable condition for major hardware manufacturers to establish effective competition between their own brands and innovative Internet companies.

The Internet of Things has opened the door, and traditional hardware vendors are sitting on most of the user market. In the course of historical development, they already have a certain market and user groups, hold a large user base, and how to transform existing resource advantages. As the advantages of today's intelligent hardware industry, seeking cooperation to break through the bottleneck is actually very simple. Each program is different, and you also need to select the best choices to help you successfully stand up in the smart hardware industry and gain a foothold, to find the right way to get on the train.
