Activa Brand IP Cams? Re-Branding Of Hikvision

Maybe they're just the one-off brand of the integrator, because I'm not finding any Activa cameras.

Do you have a link?

Also, there just to note are board cameras made by Aptina and Hik rebrands by Advidia, and ACTi cameras as well.

Matt,

Is Activa a brand of Fine? I have never heard of Activa, I have vaguely hear of 'Fine'. They are a Taiwanese company. I don't know enough about them to know how they build or buy products but, in general, Taiwanese companies do not OEM from Hikvision as Taiwan companies do not typically have enough brand / Western marketing presence to complement a China OEM.

A master list would have value and it has been suggested before, we are mainly concerned about keeping something complete together (there are a vast number of tiny OEMs out there) and accurate. That said, we are certainly happy to call out specific manufacturers when asked (e.g., HiDef Tech Is An OEM From a California Integrator).

I do not have a link unfortunately. Some screenshots below.

Activa appears to be somehow connected to Fine, or a relationship of a Fine salesperson. I was informed they are Chinese based.

The name of the company is listed as Active Solutions Network Co. Ltd.

I rec'd a demo camera that appears to be on the Hikvision Phase-out list. Most likely from late 2012 early 2013. I am uncertain if they are pushing dated product at a discount, or if they offer a line of current cameras. The housing on the dome does not look like the one's that Hikvision uses.

The web interface is tweaked to look unique. But the Hikvision batch tool and SADP tool find the camera.

I have seen several brands that OEM or rebrand Hikvision, and they all seem to use the same housing/packaging etc. This one stood out with a more unique body style. (It may also be dated, and I don't recognize an older model Hikvision dome.)

Some snapshots.. not the greatest quality.

Good point. So Fine - Who supposedly is made in Taiwan is selling another brand called Activa that is made in China, that is really Hikvision (from what I can determine.)

The Activa product line is a response to Hikvision undercutting price from what I understand. I find it interesting that they are using Hikvision to compete with Hikvision.

I'm kinda dizzy now. ;)

Banner pull? don't do that shitty stuff, why should i? My Chrome complains, and wants to open with raw ftp://ftp.finecctv.com/?raw

Guess it's happens due to some Chinese chars in the listing...
