Not true,
Paul, you are right, sorry I was being facetious. ;)
You asked:
During last Canasa show in Toronto every second booth had Hikvision cameras with their names. I believe some are authorized to sell in North America but some are not. Can Hikvision list all authorized vendors?
Here's the list of resellers authorized to sell product branded as Hikvision in the U.S.A.
My point was only that you might not find those relabelers on the list.
That's because there is NO authorized list of Hikvision OEM's. Because neither Hikvision nor the OEM has any reason to reveal publicly these relationships.
Hikvision is very concerned with who and where people are selling branded Hikvision product, less so for OEM product.
IMHO, as far as Hik is concerned, if it says XYZ, it's a XYZ camera.
That's what I was trying to say.
