Scottish Capital Edinburgh Removes Hikvision For New City Project
Scotland's capital city, Edinburgh, is removing its Hikvision cameras as part of a major $3 million upgrade, the government confirmed to IPVM, explaining why.
This comes days after Hikvision confirmed it faced declining sales in both North America and Europe.
In this report, IPVM examines this deal, with an explanation from Edinburgh, why Hikvision lost, and its broader impact.
