Perhaps girding itself for the upcoming hand-to-hand combat with its bigger brother Hikvision, Dahua saw fit to issue this strange press release (June 4).
The copy is not so bad here, though clearly still not written by a native English speaker. And in this case it was definitely needed; as opposed to some comic hyperbolic 'case study', this one could have used a little more subtlety. But you be the judge, and please explain what the true purpose(s) of this release is...
