We're compiling a list of Hikvision OEMs. Here's what we have so far:

I know there are more. Likely many more. Any you can think of? Let us know in the comments!

I believe their low cost NVRs are Hikvision.

Their low cost NVRs are typically Dahua. Their low end SD analog DVRs have been Hik for some time, though.

Ah, the low end SD analog DVR was the one I saw, not an NVR.

Thanks, added Hunt and Winnic. Q1C1 looks like Dahua to me but I don't see enough information to confirm. If anyone can confirm that, I'll add them in.

Does Swann still technically OEM them? I think since the Infinova takeover and a bunch of other internal things...that's changed. I'll dig some more, but I've heard multiple times that Swann no longer OEMs them.

Avycon.  Salesman bought and sold some bargain-bin IP cameras, the software CDs that came in the box were blank.  No data on the disk and no manuals in the box. 

Avycon rep sent me a link to a configuration tool that was the same SADP Tool on Hikvision's download page.

Hills in Australia is a distributor...

Are these items akin to ADI's 'branded' W-Box series?

Feb 27, 2017

distributor yes, they re-branded hikvision gear as a low budget home solution

I have only installed a low amount of both Hikvision and Hills so i am not too familiar with them, saying that i did notice the Hills branded equipment seemed to be almost identical but cut down version of their Hikvision variants with the cameras I installed the mic was not present, and various options unavailable in web setup as opposed to the Hik, the NVR I used was almost identical sw wise, blue instead of red borders..

Just listing names is not sufficient data IMO.  Do they OEM the carcass and use their own software?  Or, do they OEM the whole thing from the manufacturer?  Or, do they pay the manufacturer to brand the software for them. 

So is an Interlogix camera a Hikvision camera?  Who's software is it?

Lavonne, are you denying that none of your products are made by Hikvision? Because your post above doesn't really deny it. I looked for myself and found a few very similar models:

Maybe you could clarify why some of your models are dead ringers for Hikvision products? I know that the Photoshopped logo on the multi-imager wasn't very persuasive to me, anyways.

Don't know if SimplyMonitored counts as they declare they are a Hikvision OEM without any labelling.  They do state they are the manufacturer though.  Their product is also on Amazon free of any Hikvision info.

Depends on where you live or what you studied.

The final list for Hikvision will probably go up next week and Dahua the week after.

We delayed a little because there has been so much news happening.

WOW, how in the hell can that be UI #3 with all of the government concerns? Why in the world would 40+ companies be distributors of products that "according to IPVM" have such a horrific track record on Cyber-Security? Must be that all of those companies, everyone of them is careless and does not care, right? Or ?

The horrific track record on cyber security is factual, not simply "according to IPVM". A truncated list:

So assuming that OEM companies are careless is not an unfair conclusion. These vulnerabilities are public and well documented by us and others.

That being said, we aren't going to turn this thread into another Hikvision debate. If you want to comment with other OEMs, feel free. Cyber security or government ownership issues are covered in 100 other Hikvision discussions.

Few years ago, we did OEM with Hikvision but we stopped doing and moved our products to Taiwan and Korea in 2015... Note: if you review our products line, only 3 models left that belonged to Hik due to surplus inventory.
