Forcing Online Camera Sellers To Show Way Higher Pricing? Uniview Vs Hikua?

One of the most common problems integrators cite is that listing model numbers of quotes result in buyers looking them up online and debating them (which leads to, e.g. Hide or Show Models on Quotes - Integrator Statistics).

As we were finalizing edits for our newest shootout on Integrated IR fixed focal cameras, I noticed that the online Uniview pricing was significantly higher than Dahua or Hikvision. For example, the Uniview turret below was being sold for $300 to $400 whereas corresponding Hikua ones were far lower ($200 range):
