Hikvision Dealers - Is Competition From Other Hikvision Dealers Getting Harder?

Recently, we covered a Hikvision distributor making huge profits and another Hikvision dealer who said he was laughing all the way to the bank. These may be best case scenarios but they are consistent with the general trend of strong margins for Hikvision dealers compared to Axis and Avigilon.

On the other hand, Hikvision continues to add dealers at a huge rate, making it increasingly hard to find a region without a dozen or more dealers carrying Hikvision.

So, integrators, is competition harder for Hikvision sales?

I would say that it's more likely that a Hikvision Partner would feel much more pain from A Hikvision OEM dealer than another Hikvision Partner. That is, unless one Partner is Silver and the other Diamond. That would be tough sledding.

Either way it's pain inflicted by Hik's expansion, yes/no?

How do you answer this slightly modified question:

So, integrators, is competition harder for people selling Hikvision-made cameras?

No. Not in my area. But it could be in others. My market is rather small.
