Video monitoring standards play a key role in the development of the industry. Last year, the well-known DORI framework, which was introduced in 2014, was replaced by OODPCVS, a new, more sophisticated classification which better reflects the needs of modern technologies. In response to this shift, Hikvision is actively aligning its products and design resources to support our partners in navigating this transition to higher industry standards.

As technology advances, so the relevant industry standards that govern it need to evolve. Last year, the IEC 62676-4:2025 standard, which is published by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC), introduced a major update to how image detail levels are classified and evaluated in video monitoring systems. This reflects significant advances in digital imaging, AI-driven video analytics, and the growing need for more refined visual detail definitions in modern security applications.
