REVO America Is Now A Uniview OEM

So, following my recent AvertX revelation I've discovered some more retail-ish iterations of Uniview products.

REVO Ultra HD series

REVO Ultra HD Plus Series

Now it's not just the cameras, but the NVRs as well.

I believe more than a few people have been told that this wouldn't happen with them?

Interesting

An IDIS PR person (not from the US) listed Revo as an OEM of theirs and claimed $20 million in annual revenue.

Now that IDIS has launched their own competitive direct branded offering in the US, I wonder how this is impacting the moves of their heretofore US OEMs like Revo.

I'm not able to identify any of the Idis equipment in REVO's line. Care to pick out the models?
The Uniview form factor is glaringly obvious within REVO's products though.

I am not saying REVO uses IDIS now. I am saying IDIS very clearly claimed REVO as an OEM a few years ago. So it appears from your and #1's comments that REVO stopped working with IDIS.

They still claim them as an affiliate on their financials, and as a large shareholder, on their financials.

Good find, #1, if I am reading this translation correctly, they are reporting ~$7 million in revenue (8.4 billion won) over the past year:

That noted, if IDIS only owns 1/3 of REVO, REVO may have the ability to switch suppliers.

How much is a plan there? IPVM could expose a whole lotta people with that membership!

They are amateurs!

Real companies have obfuscating holding and shell storefront companies for just this very reason...

I found a few from Dahua and Hikvision without membership.

CAMACC gets to buy direct from Hik, for example.

Having trouble finding XiongMai though.

Evidently, Axis gets their bodies made by China.

They should have changed cases and GUI for OEM partners to differentiate the product a little however I think it is unrealistic to expect any manufacturer not to do OEM work for people.

I believe almost every manufacturer in the security industry will have OEM products going somewhere.
