Given all the controversy regarding Hikvision, I did a search here in IPVM to see if any article, comment or test has any reference to this, and only found this.

Can anyone verify if Interlogix Truvision is relabelled Hikvision?

[IPVM: Yes, confirmed, see Interlogix Vs Hikvision Tested]

We have been told that Interlogix uses Hikvision camera hardware but has their own firmware and own VMS / CMS.

We have not tested this because Interlogix does not get a lot of interest overall.

Interlogix is one of only three vendors on the Genetec "restricted" license list, the others being Hikvision, and Huawei.

Which would give credence to the theory that they were OEMing Hiks.  On the other hand, the absence of any other Hik OEMs from the list could possibly mean they have their own firmware, as John suggests.

We took over a large project with 100+ Interlogix (Hikvision) cameras.  They are discovered by Hikvision's SADP tool and are basicly Hikvision cameras which the GUI has changed colors and less features then the same Hikvision product.

Yes. Interlogix TruVision is Hikvision OEM'd. The NVR's are Hik as well and have older software versions.  Use caution.

The web interface and configuration screens are identical so I would say yes.

The Wedge camera is a dead giveaway for a Hik.

To my knowledge, Interlogix is absolutely OEM Hikvision product. The firmware however is different. When a new Hikvision camera is released you will likely within a several months see an equivalent in an Interlogix branded camera provided it fits the direction Interlogix is taking its portfolio.

Some of it was when I worked there, but not all of it. And Interlogix did use their own software, different port setups, etc.  So did it come from that factory, yes.  Was it the same camera, no.  Actually in many cases better performance.
