The world's second largest video surveillance manufacturer has done a complete turnaround, from threatening to sue their enemies for stealing their 'technology' to welcoming them in yet another embarrassing move.

what do you expect Dahua when Hikivison gets a 3 billion dollar endorsement from the bosses and you get nothing.
you were voted off the island, if you had anything and even if hikivison was stealing your tech it wouldn't matter when the government leaders decide who should win or lose.
best get used to the idea of becoming new hikivison employees of some fashion.

I think if they would have had this position from the beginning, it would have been successful. But now, it does look like they are desperate. You are either "open platform" or your not. Classic case of Dahua arrogance getting the best of them.

I think this is a smart move on Dahua's part: if they are not being allowed to legally challenge Hikvision copying them, why not turn the tables and copy Hik?
Now if China lets Hik stop Dahua, (on the basis of trademark, NOT technology) that would really be something. But since a unified Analog HD advances China's global dominance initiatives, I doubt they will.
Dahua could not look anymore desperate anyway, so there is little harm to their reputation. People don't care, as long as they keep the prices low and quality acceptable.

With the lack of camera selections in the HDCVI lineup (to date), we have been doing MORE IP than before. Dahua just doesn't have enough to choose from in their HDCVI lineup at the moment. That may change with the 3.0 models, but lacking true WDR is a big drawback. FLIR has a 2MP eyeball line for true WDR (ugly) and just released a dome version recently, but they cost more than the 4MP IP domes from Hik/Dahua.
We found it's easier to sell the IP based NVR with PoE built in. No analog PSU to deal with, less/cheaper wire, cheaper terminations, same UI, etc. Pricing can be a tad more, but not much. The PSU being removed from the budget helps offset some of the cost, as does the cheaper WDR domes.

For the company that uses Google Translate to convert it's manuals, I am frankly not going to be surprised by anything

We stopped by the Dahua booth to find out more about how to source Dahua products though proper channels. We have a project we are working on where the customer (owner of the company) had a "friend" that did CCTV work. Well that "friend" installed 120+ Dahua cameras in an end-to-end Dahua system. None of the part numbers used on site are on the US Dahua website. As I suspected which was confirmed by Dahua at the booth that all the Dahua products at this site are "gray market" product and Dahua will not support any of it.
I asked the Dahua rep about this supplier for the product which is a distributor in NJ.
me: "have you heard of this Dahua supplier?"
Dahua:"Yes we work with them all the time great company"
me: "ok great! so the customer will have a warranty for the product they purchased?"
Dahua: "Oh no they sell gray market product so they will NOT get a warranty or support. This happens all the time to everyone and there is nothing we can do about it"
Me: speechless
