The main theme for 2018 is the contest between Chinese and Western manufacturers. As the race to the bottom ends and problems for Chinese manufacturers rise, the competition will get more heated. Dahua and Hikvision show no signs of backing down but now face growing barriers. This leaves a market torn between very aggressive sales campaigns of low-cost products and concerns about security and quality.
