While Eagle Eye Networks has been partnered with Hikvision for years, doing multiple marketing efforts just this month, Eagle Eye CEO Dean Drako tells IPVM they are "winding down" their partnership.
Since these actions, Hikvision has had difficulty attracting US partnerships/promotions, however, Eagle Eye ignored this, continuing its longtime Hikvision support in multiple webinars in the past month.
