Dahua Italy Alleges Racism Over ONVIF Conformance Ban
Dahua's top employee in Italy alleged the company's ONVIF conformance ban is due to "racial discrimination" against PRC companies, not the result of Dahua's presence on the US government's Entity List.
In this report, IPVM explains the ONVIF conformance ban, outlines the accusations by Dahua Italy, and analyzes ONVIF's actions once Dahua was placed on the list.
ONVIF conformance has become a global issue as Dahua's cross-town rival Hikvision lost a $73 million Italy deal over a similar ONVIF conformance ban.
