As long as they are subsidized the only thing HiKvIsIoN needs to do is keep asking their parents for a bigger allowance.  Once that umbilical cord is removed then it is a fair fight and most of the criticisms of them would be no longer applicable.

If HIKVISION wasn't already paying for it I would be tempted to pay for Marty's subscription fees.  In a way Marty's posts are priceless to IPVM discussions in terms of (occasionally valid) discussion points, insight into a Hikvision integrators logic, and pure comedic value in the same way Rockoff was before him.

...and pure comedic value in the same way Rockoff was before him.

That's a bit unfair.

Please understand, Todd Rockoff was a paragon of parody at IPVM; the butt of more jokes than B.S. and A.F. combined, he had a richly learned, if deeply flawed, philosophy which made him the perfect foil for all occasions.  He was what the Generals were to the Globetrotters.  Now M. Calhoun may have shown some early promise I admit, but whether he can deliver as consistently as the good Dr. remains to be seen.

Technically, IPVM 'pays' for Marty's IPVM subscription.

Remember, Marty is the #5th ranked commenter overall and, like any IPVM member who gets voted up, he gets quarterly rewards / credit.

In terms of how to 'beat' Axis, need to knock Axis out of the mid to high end, where they are still stronger. The problem is how does Axis do that, given the mid to high end is less price sensitive and more cyber security concerned.

If you check other forums or large high end User/customers you will find a whole lot of AXIS shilling and worshiping.

I agree in large scale or money isn't an option jobs AXIS still is holding up quite well.

 

That being said I have seen quite a bit of the HikVison Name starting to pop up in IT circles and smaller jobs with a 50/50 Knowledge of who and what they are.
