Does anyone have a reliable resource on who makes/where Digital Watchdog's camera chipset is made? I know they assemble their cameras in Taiwan and are headquartered in South Korea, but want to know the actual chipset information.

Aug 30, 2019I see their new IP Turret is now manufactured in China which is disappointing as I was considering using them as an option to the Chinese cameras.

Aug 30, 2019The cameras are not great I would look elsewhere. I use DW blackjack nvr with vivotek cameras all the time. My next install will be a blackjack nvr with the new honeywell 30 series, vivo oem.

Aug 30, 2019In the past year, ~60% of DW's imports to the US, by weight, have been from China manufacturer TVT:

Aug 30, 2019It's confusing because Digital Watchdog is owned or partially owned by Kaltech Enterprises out of Tampa, Florida. The owner is Korean and they had a factory in Korea. The their VMS is Network Optix. As John pointed out, their cameras are an OEM. Kaltech use to make DVRs for GVI but I don't know if they built anything anymore.
