Dahua and Hikvision Cutting Out Channel in Brazil
In China, Dahua and Hikvision routinely sell direct but outside, it is less common. However, this is a growing trend in Brazil.
IPVM investigated a Dahua direct bid in Southeast Brazil earlier this month and in January. Inside this note, IPVM examines Dahua and Hikvision cutting out the channel in Brazil and what this means for the local video surveillance market.
