Non-PRC Manufacturers Block Dahua From Chile Event
When Dahua registered for an industry event in Chile, several non-PRC manufacturers, led by Genetec, delivered an ultimatum to the organizer—kick out Dahua, or lose us.
IPVM spoke with the event’s organizer as well as with event participants to learn more about what happened and why the non-PRC brands categorically refused to participate alongside Dahua.
