Product Documents & CCTV/ELV Project Resources

1. Define the customization boundary

Branding OEM: identify the logo, label, carton and manual work you need. Supply artwork and brand-use instructions when available.

Platform configuration: request model-specific lens, housing or supported function options. Feasibility depends on the selected product platform.

ODM development: describe the problem, required outcome and evaluation criteria. Hardware, structure or software changes need an agreed feasibility, development and sample plan; they are not included automatically in a branding order.

2. Make the sample approval measurable

Keep a sample record with the platform/model, relevant hardware and software version, approved artwork revision, packaging contents and the checks you agreed. Record results and unresolved items before authorizing a batch.

• Image and recording behavior in the intended scene.
• Required functions with the named NVR or VMS version.
• Logo, labels, language, carton and included accessories.
• Accepted differences and who approves each change.

A successful sample test applies to the tested configuration. Recheck changes that affect the agreed functions or compatibility.

3. Compare quotations on the same scope

Ask which model and revision are priced, what the branding charge covers, and whether sample, tooling or development costs are separate. Check accessories, packaging, required documentation, export terms and any software or license scope.

MOQ, sample cost, development cost and lead time are confirmed after the product, quantity and approval steps are known. Use the same assumptions when comparing an alternative.

4. Keep one approval baseline

After sample approval, freeze the product specification and artwork references used for the order. Log a change with its revision, reason, cost or timing effect, approval owner and affected batch.

For repeat orders, send the previous model/order reference and state what has changed. This is more reliable than asking for “the same camera” when packaging, components or software requirements have moved on.
