According to the notice "Congressional Letter Urges Sanctions Against Dahua and Hikvision For Human Rights Abuses" I like to add some information I have posted some time ago (sorry for my English, I'm from Argentina). Dahua and Hikvision are flooding our market with merchandise at a very, very low cost in a way of dumping other firms for entry in this market.
Political matters apart, the chinese government lends millions of dollars to our country, having established a "satellite searching base/aerospatial military base" granted for 50 years in our territory (Patagonia) without taxes.
But, returning to our matters, the market is being flooded since 3 years ago directly from Dahua (not its dealers), jumping over integrators and security professionals, and selling their products directly to end users: big and medium companies in a direct way at undisclosed/undisclosed prices.
Resuming: specially Dahua is converting Argentina CCTV market in a financial business, not a security business, price matters, no? Hikvision operates in a more correct way in order to respect integrators.
I have noticed that these same actions are being carried on in other countries of South America induced (I think) by the loss of American market. Regards! Juan.
