overview

VVDN's Comprehensive Camera Testing Services ensure that camera-enabled solutions meet the highest quality standards. Leveraging our state-of-the-art in-house ISP tuning and QA labs, we specialize in image quality tuning, functional validation, storage-based testing, camera interoperability, and performance optimization. This enables global customers to bring their vision products to market faster, with unmatched reliability.

Our experienced QA team is equipped to test and validate cameras against all customer-specified parameters, including firmware and OTA validation, audio/video quality, network interfaces, battery life, low-light performance, and overall performance validation.

Importantly, VVDN goes beyond standard validation—we actively contribute to achieving compliance certifications such as Standardisation Testing and Quality Certification (STQC) by directly working on the camera software stack and addressing all necessary technical criteria. This ensures that OEMs not only meet product performance benchmarks but also achieve timely and successful regulatory certification.

With VVDN's rigorous testing expertise, we empower global OEMs to deliver high-quality, cutting-edge camera solutions that truly stand out in the market.

OUR EXPERTISE

STQC Testing

Ensures compliance with government-mandated standards for camera products, essential for deployments in regulated sectors:
  • Software & Security Compliance: Validation of secure boot, firmware encryption, secure upgrade mechanisms and tamper detection to meet stringent security requirements.
  • Functional Standards Validation: Testing of critical parameters including resolution, frame rate, IR/night vision performance, storage retention and access control features in alignment with certification criteria.
  • Cybersecurity & Data Protection: Verification of encryption protocols, user authentication, data integrity and secure communication channels to comply with data protection regulations.
  • Interoperability & Protocol Conformance: Ensures seamless compatibility with standard communication protocols (e.g., ONVIF) and smooth integration with central monitoring or management platforms.
  • Certification Documentation & Submission: Preparation of compliance reports, test logs and technical documentation; coordination with regulatory bodies to facilitate timely certification approvals.
