March 15, 2025 — Panlink, a leading provider of precision slip ring solutions, has partnered with Hikvision, a global leader in security products and solutions, to enable advanced functionality in spherical surveillance systems. These systems require uninterrupted power and data transmission while rotating continuously—a challenge seamlessly addressed by Panlink’s capsule slip rings.

The Role of Capsule Slip Rings in Spherical Surveillance

Spherical cameras used in modern security applications must rotate endlessly without tangling cables or losing signal integrity. Panlink’s capsule slip rings are compact, high-density components designed to transmit power, video signals, and control data between stationary and rotating parts of Hikvision’s cameras. This ensures smooth 360° rotation without degradation in video quality or operational interruptions.

Unlike conventional wiring, which can wear out due to repetitive motion, slip rings provide a reliable electromechanical interface capable of millions of rotations. Panlink’s design emphasizes low electrical noise, minimal torque, and high signal fidelity—critical for high-definition video and real-time analytics.

Enhancing Safety and Reliability in Surveillance

According to industry studies, surveillance system failures are frequently caused by mechanical wear in rotating components. Panlink’s slip rings mitigate this risk with robust materials and contact technologies that extend service life while reducing maintenance needs.

Hikvision’s cameras equipped with Panlink’s capsule slip rings are deployed in high-traffic urban areas, transportation hubs, and critical infrastructure sites where reliability is non-negotiable. The slip rings also support PoE (Power over Ethernet) and high-speed data protocols, enabling smarter, more integrated security ecosystems.

A Partnership Driven by Innovation

Panlink’s collaboration with Hikvision underscores a shared commitment to innovation and quality. Custom-engineered to fit Hikvision’s compact camera designs, these slip rings undergo rigorous testing for durability under varying environmental conditions, including temperature extremes and humidity.

“This partnership is a testament to our ability to deliver tailored solutions for top-tier Hikvision,” said Mr. Tang, Chief Engineer at Panlink. “Our capsule slip rings not only meet but exceed the demands of modern surveillance applications.”
