Guangdong (Shenzhen video-surveillance cluster)
Shenzhen and the surrounding Pearl River Delta produce the majority of the world's IP cameras and NVRs. The OEM/ODM ecosystem there lets an Irish buyer specify sensor, lens, housing and firmware/branding and buy at the same factory price the global brands pay, before the European distributor markup.

Ask about compliance documentation →What this lands at in Ireland
IP camera and NVR kits bought factory-direct from Shenzhen typically land in Ireland 40–55% below security-trade distributor pricing for equivalent specification. EU import duty on television cameras and recorders (HS 8525/8521) is commonly 0–4.1% depending on code; VAT at 23% applies on CIF + duty. A full duty-inclusive landed cost is provided at quote stage. Note: GDPR signage, retention and data handling are the operator's responsibility on deployment, separate from product compliance.
Lead time and logistics
Lead time: 4–6 weeks production + 4–5 weeks sea freight (Shenzhen/Yantian → Dublin).
Cameras and recorders ship cartonised on pallets in a 20ft or 40ft HQ container; air freight is viable for urgent low-volume orders. Ériu Sourcing verifies ONVIF interoperability and firmware/branding at the factory and coordinates door-to-door delivery to your Irish premises.
Electronics, sourcing questions answered
Will Shenzhen IP cameras work with my existing NVR or VMS?
Yes, where they share ONVIF support. We specify cameras to ONVIF Profile S/G/T so they integrate with standards-based NVRs and video-management systems. If you run a specific brand of recorder or VMS, tell us at brief stage and we confirm interoperability with the factory before ordering.
Can the cameras be supplied white-label or with our own branding?
Yes. The Shenzhen OEM ecosystem is built for white-label supply, housing colour, logo, firmware splash and app branding can all be specified. Minimum order quantities for custom branding are higher than for stock models; we confirm the MOQ for your spec at quote stage.
Are these cameras CE-compliant for sale and installation in Ireland?
Ériu Sourcing verifies genuine CE compliance, an EU Declaration of Conformity referencing the LVD, EMC and (for wireless models) RED, plus RoHS, at the factory before shipment. A Chinese third-party "CE certificate" has no standing in the EU; we obtain manufacturer-signed EU documentation, not that.
What import duty applies to CCTV cameras from China to Ireland?
Television cameras and digital recorders from China to Ireland (EU) typically attract 0–4.1% import duty depending on the precise HS code, with VAT at 23% on the CIF value plus duty. We confirm the exact rate for your product mix before order commitment.
