Undisclosed Integrator #1
"Montreal home to Hikvision's existing Canadian sales office, and VMS competitor Genetec, will get an R&D center."
Hmm, if I were Genetec I would expect a price war to retain employees soon. Based on some forum discussions it appears as though IVMS-5200 is a little rough. Acquiring some ready talent would help accelerate the development process (I assume).

Wouldn't be easier to just Buy Avigilon?

Undisclosed Distributor #3
In my opinion this is just a flimsy PR attempt on their part to try to distance themselves from all of the bad press of being owned by the chinese government and so that they can try to get in on potential government contracts by saying they are based in the US and Canada. I may be wrong, I often am and will never be afraid to admit it if comes around that way.
