What DNAKE does

DNAKE (Chinese legal name: 狄耐克) is a publicly listed Chinese smart technology company headquartered in Xiamen and founded in 2005. The company develops smart access control hardware and cloud-based IP video intercom systems for residential buildings and multi-property developments globally. Its core product portfolio includes the AC02C Smart Access Control Terminal — an ultra-slim (137 × 50 × 27 mm) mullion-mounted device supporting RFID, PIN, NFC, Bluetooth, QR code, and mobile app authentication with IP65 and IK08 durability ratings — and a portfolio of cloud-connected IP Video Intercom Kits. The company's DNAKE Cloud Platform (with deployed versions 2.1.0, 2.2.0, and 2.3.0, and version 2.4.0 planned) provides multi-property management, two-factor authentication, apartment-level access permissions, remote emergency exit control, QR code self-registration, and elevator control integration for facility access.

DNAKE generates revenue through two primary streams: (1) hardware sales of smart access control terminals and IP video intercom kits, and (2) recurring cloud platform subscription services for property managers and integrators. The company distributes globally via its Cloud Platform, with active markets in North America (e.g., a Habitat for Humanity Greater Los Angeles donation deployment serving over 60 families) and EMEA (French Design Award recognition in France). It holds CE, FCC, and RCM certifications enabling multi-region regulatory coverage and was named among the 2024 Global Top 50 Security Companies alongside Hikvision and Dahua Technology. The company is listed on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange (ticker: 300884), reports 1,001–5,000 employees, and has Guodong Mou as Chairman of the Board. DNAKE's go-to-market is sales-led, leveraging its cloud platform as a worldwide distribution backbone and targeting residential building operators, multi-property developers, and property management firms.
