DW is a US Brand, in a partnership with this S. Korean maker.  Secubest

Not all of their cameras come from this company as a source but if you look through the products tab, you'll see most of them available by DW.

David, 

This is correct. 

If you have any questions, I am available for discussion. 

Thanks,

Patrick, what about the DW camera we tested that was a TVT OEM? What should users expect in terms of DW OEMing Chinese cameras like TVT?

Yes John, you are correct, we have three camera models we OEM from a vendor for the use of the Video Analytic Chip. 

Mr. Wise,

We will be releasing our proprietary 4K series of cameras on or before ISC West.

Thank you for your interest. 

Cheers, 

Wade

proprietary 4K series of cameras

I am curious, what is the motivation to release a proprietary camera into the market as it exists today?

Please excuse the use of the term propriety... 

What i meant to say was that a series of ONVIF compliant DW cameras will be released around the ISC show dates. 

Thanks, 

Wade

It would be nice to know which cameras are coming from China. Is there any easy way to tell this?

 

As we reevaluate our camera line, and look for a Dahua alternative, it would be good to know if the line we are looking at is going to see the 25% price increase.

Not sure why the unhelpful... it was a legit question. We are working on doing a price/feature comparison of DW/Hanwah/Vivotek to the Dahua products so we can start bringing in another product line.

 

If some of the products are subject to a 25% price increase, we need to know.

The DWC-MTT Model Cameras Include the video analytic chip.

These models will not be affected by the January tariff increase. 

Please let us know if you need a local DW Pro to assist you with your considerations. 

Thank you,

Wade

Thanks Wade, we are working with a rep but since you were kind enough to share, I figured I would take the opportunity to ask here and maybe others would find the info useful.

 

So if I understand correctly, nothing in the DW would be subject to the tariff increase?

 

Thanks

Good morning Integrator #3
We will have small increases with a few flavors of our Blackjack Series NVR’s based on various computer components that will be affected. Because those materials are only part of the overall product bill of materials, the increases in most cases will be nominal.
Thank you for your interest - I hope this helps.
Wade
