7 Key Things to Check Before Choosing a CCTV Factory

Certifications That Ensure Global Compliance

Before anything else, ensure your supplier meets global standards:

  • CE – Required for EU markets

  • FCC – Required for the US market

  • RoHS – For environmental compliance (Europe & global partners)

Why it matters: Without these certifications, your imports may be blocked at customs or fail post-shipment inspection.

✔️ Tip: Ask for certification files upfront and double-check issuing authority.


Production Capacity That Matches Your Growth

Evaluate whether the factory can keep up with your future scale.

MetricIdeal Benchmark
Daily Output3,000–5,000 units/day
Number of Lines4–6 fully functional lines
Factory Size5,000m²+ preferred
Staff Headcount100–300 trained workers

Ask For: Monthly production report, equipment list, and a short video tour of the workshop.


Customization Capabilities for Branding

Don’t settle for off-the-shelf products. Your brand needs:

  • 🔧 Logo Printing

  • 🎨 Color Box & Packaging Customization

  • 🧠 Firmware/APP Adjustments

  • 🖥 Web Portal/Cloud Branding

Evaluate the R&D team size, past ODM cases, and UI/UX development capability.

🧩 Bonus: A good factory provides cloud API access or SDK for platform integration.


Quality Control: The Real Backbone

CCTV is a trust product. One failure can break your business.

Look for these QC checkpoints:

  • 🔍 Incoming Material Inspection (IQC)

  • 🧪 Aging Test: 48–72 hours under high temp

  • 🎥 Image Focus + Angle Adjustment

  • 📦 Drop Test & IP66 Water Resistance Test

  • 🔁 100% Final Inspection Before Shipment

Request: QC SOP file + inspection reports from real orders.


Delivery Schedule: Can They Ship on Time?

Time = Money. Ask your supplier to commit to:

  • 📦 7 Days for sample production

  • 🚛 15–25 Days for bulk orders (<5,000 pcs)

  • ⏱ Peak Season Buffer Plan

Pro Tip: Check if they use ERP systems for production planning.


Transparent & Flexible Pricing Terms

A strong partner offers:

  • 📉 Tiered pricing for different volumes

  • 💲 Flexible Incoterms: EXW, FOB, CIF

  • 🔄 Sample cost refundable on bulk orders

  • 🧾 Clear Proforma Invoice with payment breakdown

Check for: MOQs, deposit rates (30% or lower preferred), and PayPal/LC support.


After-Sales Support That Speaks Your Language

You’re not just buying hardware — you’re buying long-term support.

✅ English-speaking account manager
✅ 12–24 months warranty
✅ Fast RMA policy (1% spare parts recommended)
✅ Video guides & remote debugging

💡Tip: Ask if they provide WhatsApp or WeChat support during your time zone.
