Inside Dahua's Pro Challenge 2026

Pro Challenge 2026 ran under the theme "Build It. Show It. Win It." and included the Social Media Video Challenge and the newly introduced Partner App Scan Challenge. The two tracks gave partners different ways to take part, share their experience with Dahua products and solutions, and connect with the wider installer community.

At the opening ceremony, Chairman Fu Liquan thanked partners for their continued trust and support and highlighted installers' role in translating AIoT technologies into practical applications. "Only through open cooperation and complementary strengths can we better seize the opportunities brought by technological change," he said. President Jason Zhao set out three priorities for cooperation: a deeper understanding of customers, stronger support for partner growth, and more lasting partnerships.

Partners visited Dahua's global headquarters and showroom, where they explored products and technology demonstrations covering video perception and AIoT applications, and joined hands-on sessions with Dahua experts. A visit to the Dahua AIoT Industrial Park gave them a closer look at the company's manufacturing operations and production capabilities. Installers shared frontline insights on product selection, system integration and after-sales service, and Dahua said it will continue to incorporate partner feedback and frontline insights into improvements to its products, solutions and support.
