Amcrest still trying to squeeze out a little more mileage on the Foscam brand association:

Once Dahua develops full ranges of products and gets comfortable with the online channels such as Amazon, Dahua would do the same - undercut this sole distributor.
Apparently, this guy really tried to monopolize the channel management for Foscam and Dahua. This might work against the modern trend of multi-channel or balanced channel management strategies that you can find in any US business school textbooks.
The other question we should be asking is: how much profit % this guy squeezed from Foscam? Being the sole distributor certainly gave him a lot of bargaining power over Foscam. If he asked for too much and left Foscam little profit for reinvestment in R&D, it might legitimize Foscam's move to undercut him.

Amcrest continues be concerned about my Foscam firmware being up to date.
However, since I'm not a Foscam customer and they're not a Foscam distributor, I'm confused.
Oddly, there is nothing else here about how or where to update my firmware:
