You must admit this is all guess work, right? Did Hikvision inform you of their NA Sales numbers? Without direct knowledge of Sales numbers (which you do not have) this is an attempt to misrepresent what has been an outstanding year actually as Hikvision has released many new and innovative products and accepted several industry awards. Hikvision is well on the way to year 1,2,3,4,5,6 #7 in a row leading the Industry, is that not correct?
This is nothing more than an end of year offering from a company that has the same issues as every other manufacturer in this space offering IP Cameras.Glorifying and lambasting over 'possible short-lived engineering oversights' certainly does not constitute 'losing its discipline' mentality as being portrayed here.
As a dealer in good standing, we look forward to a very prosperous 2018.

Man I belong to a lot of forums and don't think people should be removed or censored. However, I don't think there is one single thing out of Mr. Hikvision's pinyin keyboard that is of any use to anybody here.

Update: And just 3 weeks later, another 'limited time offer' from Hikvision:
How many price cuts do the dwindling Hikvision loyalists need to see to realize that Hikvision USA is actually struggling? Companies who are doing great need not run such sales multiple times per month.

My primary business is IT related.
I have used HikVision or OEM made by products.
I have noticed a lot of shots taken at HikVision.
It is very similar to those taken at Microsoft for the most part even though Apple and others too have problems.
Most all of the time the issue is made worse by the lack of user/customer discipline or lack of security policies.
I am sure that when your market share increases or is large you will be a target.
Even so there are some legitimate concerns but don't overestimate the efforts of those in competition.
So what am I saying? Just look at all the facts and consider accordingly.

The vulnerabilities in Hikvision's mobile app and cloud platform left users with little practical way to utilize those products in a secure way, since the vulnerabilities were primarily on platforms out of their control.
The Hikvision backdoor exposed any one who connected their Hikvision (or OEM) camera to the internet, regardless of discipline around things like strong passwords.
This may be true, but a vendor of any size can avoid such obvious mistakes as hard-coding backdoors into their products.
Are you saying that Hikvision's ongoing history of vulnerabilities and poor approach to securing their products should be overlooked? Or are you saying these factual, proven vulnerabilities should be considered as a caution against using the products?

Less than 2 weeks from Hikvision's previous across the board sale, Hikvision is back at:
This time though they are limiting to Value and Value Plus series while excluding H.265, making it a far more restricted offering to lower end / older products.
