so I noticed video insight (who is owned by Panasonic ) had some new cameras added to their AVIDIA line funny the old ones looked like Panasonic cameras rebranded ( which is fine i suppose) but the new ones look like Hikivision?

just wondering based on the recent poor decision making that has been going over at Panasonic security if this is gonna be a trend ?

Maybe thew guys at ISC west can get a straight answer out of them ?

Before being acquired by Panasonic, Video Insight's Advidia line was all Hik, so maybe they've just been adding Panasonic since, but still OEMing Hik as well?

The Advidia P series came about after Panasonic acquired VI. I want to say that series was announced sometime in the middle of last year.

The other models are Hikvision and also some ACTi I believe. I don't think there are new Hikvision Advidia models, but I wouldn't be surprised either way.
