I was under the impression that Dahua is the OEM for Honeywell's HD-CVI products.

Yes, ergo our demonstration of how the recorder client interfaces are nearly identical.

John,

Does this mean that the Honeywell HDCVI (HQA) cameras are generally compatible with other MFG (i.e. HIK/LTS) TVI/CVI AHD DVR's or is Honeywell HQA technology proprietary?

It's been 5 years since we did this test so I am reluctant for us to make a claim here.

I don't think it's strictly proprietary but, from our various testing over the years, often some formats will work but others will not, without a clear pattern. Net/net, it's important to test with your own devices.
