Sometimes we hear from people outside the USA that IPVM criticizes manufacturers from outside the USA to defend American manufacturers. Presumably, this is because IPVM is an American company.
What these people miss is that we heavily criticize American companies.
IPVM's all-time most criticized camera company is American Arecont, with posts like Worst IP Camera Manufacturers 2011, Worst IP Camera Manufacturer 2014, Worst Camera Manufacturers 2016, Arecont Lies, Now Threatens Lawsuit, Arecont Needs a Reset Button and a Clue, etc.
IPVM"s all-time most criticized access control company is American Lenel, with posts like Lenel Partners Angry, Lenel Does Not Care, Worst Access Control 2016, Lenel President Is Out, Lenel Poor Favorability Results 2017, etc.
And it is not like we have been especially kind to other American manufacturers like Honeywell, OnSSI, Pelco, etc.
Nonetheless, here is an example of recent anti-American criticism received:
Surprising, that in the guise of being an independent information service on security products, all you seem to be doing is having an anti Asia rant. Too bad America has lost the race in the electronics component and PCB race. The nimbleness of the asians and the sheer hard work can never be matched by an American worker... Just another sick right wing misinformation outlet.
I can sympathize that when one's company or preferred brand is criticized, it is natural to focus on those criticisms. It is not as if most people are going to scan through IPVM's 4,600+ articles to figure out how much we criticize others.
The reality is IPVM has criticized (and sometimes praised) many, many manufacturers across the world. In an industry where literally every other publication is manufacturer advertiser funded, that's the unique value proposition we offer being an independent member's service.
