VIVOTEK delivers unparallelled value when considering the cost of ownership as a companion of consumer Chinese brands like Hikvision in 2026

According to the 2024 Victorian crime statistics, non-residential break-and-enter offenses rose by 7.2%, underscoring the growing need for effective surveillance. However, choosing the right system goes beyond deterring crime; it involves balancing cost, cybersecurity, and regulatory compliance, decisions that will affect your property for the next 5–7 years. Here’s how SensaTek ensures a solution that delivers lasting results.

In Melbourne’s case, due to the environmental terrain, durability and environmental resistance are key factors in determining which cybersecurity system lies with you. SensaTek proves to be a vital helping hand, distributing VIVOTEK as an outstanding option for battling Australia’s entire coastline sea salt spray experience, which deters basic camera systems 27% faster. Calling for VIVOTEK'S specialised range featuring leading corrosion-resistant materials in critical joints and connectors, resulting in a 15% lower failure rate in coastal applications over a 5-year period.

Real security goes beyond specification sheets and depends on cybersecurity strength and geopolitical risk. SensaTek exclusively provides VIVOTEK on the principles of being an accredited Taiwanese manufacturer, ISO 27001 certified with standard enterprise security practices for Government projects and so on, at a lower inherent risk with compliance-friendly manufacturing and security certifications.

VIVOTEK CERTIFIED PERFORMANCE:

• Supreme Night Visibility (SNV) and Chroma24 technologies deliver exceptional clarity in low-light conditions, enabling full-colour video in near-dark or high-glare environments. Advanced noise-reduction algorithms produce a natural-light image rather than blurred or over-illuminated footage.
• Large apertures, high-sensitivity sensors, and AI-based Image Signal Processing (AI-ISP) work together to maximise light capture and maintain image detail in challenging lighting conditions.
• Chroma24’s automated, proactive AI simultaneously reduces noise, enhances colour accuracy, and minimises motion blur. Critical for reliably identifying suspects and vehicles in low-light environments. In addition to the collection, SensaTek will be the first distributor globally to distribute Chroma24’s, AVAILABLE TO PRE-ORDER NOW!
• VIVOTEK’s Wide Dynamic Range (WDR) Pro balances extreme light contrasts, ensuring clear, detailed footage in scenes with both bright and dark areas.
• SMART AI technology enables advanced detection, classification, and reporting through both reactive and proactive automation, delivering purpose-built intelligence rather than generic AI processing.

Compared with alternative cybersecurity approaches for commercial environments, Hikvision is a more budget-friendly option for minor applications. However, it requires strict network isolation, firewall blocking, and no internet egress, adding an additional 15–20% in costs on top of the initial 40% price difference. This also necessitates prolonged ongoing cybersecurity monitoring and maintenance, as documented 34% of businesses reported attempted IoT device breaches in 2023. 

By contrast, VIVOTEK is a higher-end solution suited to both high- and mid-tier applications. It offers broader applicability across environments, proving implementable in all areas without the need for extensive network prerequisites, and can contribute to reduced insurance premiums of approximately 12–18% for commercial clients. Is the cheaper price worth more than quality, no-hassle security?

SensaTek delivers uncompromising quality through our range of VIVOTEK camera systems. You can have complete confidence knowing VIVOTEK’s performance is proven, reliable, and engineered to operate in even the most demanding environments—providing lasting safety and peace of mind.

VIVOTEK is value beyond the price tag in 2026.
