Quick addendum from a Genetec employee.
Bruno Dutey: Hello, how may I help you?
Robert Shih: Hello! I've heard that you have dropped support for Hikvision recently. Are you going to continue Dahua support?
Bruno Dutey: Thank you for contacting us. Hikvision has been removed from our pricelist due to security concerns. Cameras from that manufacturer are still available, however licensing will come at a higher cost and end users would need to sign a waiver. A press release with more details on this topic is set to be published soon.
In regards of Dahua
Everything is business as usual, we are not planning on removing any other manufacturer from our supported device list
Robert Shih: Will you also update to support Dahua's new h.265 products?
I am particularly inquiring about this model: http://www1.dahuasec…cts/ipc-pfw8601-a180-3341.htmlIPC-PFW8601-A180IPC-PFW8601-A180
Bruno Dutey: Usually new cameras are tested within 3 months of release and then published in our website. Unfortunately I don't any have access to the list of cameras that our engineers are working on
Robert Shih: What is the outlook though?
Bruno Dutey: Unfortunately there is not really an estimated guess that I could give you with the information I have. However if the camera uses the Onvif protocol you could most likely be able to get a basic videostream but any other functions might not work
Is there anything else I can help with?
Robert Shih: Mainly, I'm asking for a member of IPVM who was interested in a panoramic 180 degree multiimager camera
I wonder though, do multi-imager cameras count for a single license or multiple? Read
Bruno Dutey: It would depend on the exact model
Some of them need multiple licenses
