By: John Honovich, Published on May 22, 2019

Dahua USA is, in their own words, 'celebrating' 5 years in North America or as trade magazine SSN declared:

Dahua Technology finds success in the North American security market in just five years

While 5 years can be an opportunity to reflect, Dahua USA has overwhelmingly been a series of errors, mostly unforced.
