At least it wasn't an F minus. That's what I would have expected.

An F is no biggie... No child gets left behind in the US, not even a defiant blogger child.

I give Hikvision's debate skills an F-, and my opinion on this is almost as relevant as theirs.

Why do they never mention IPVMs name? This always looks so out of context, like they are just attacking some random unknown blogger. Sure any publicity for IPVM could be seen as a negative for them right now but at the same time do these completely untargetted attacks not look a bit insane?

Instead of attacking critics and reviewers, Hikvision should consider focusing on gaining back the trust of the industry and security community. Attacking someone who criticises your business for any reason, doesn't show professionalism, it shows lack of confidence in your own actions and products.

Hikvision has posted another post about IPVM (the third in 3 weeks), hours after IPVM released this post. This post is called "Blogger Hires Click-Bait Consultant".
They make a number of sweeping allegations but the truth is fairly boring. I hired a freelance marketing person to help write our email autoresponder series and sales pages. After he did those, I discontinued using him more than a year ago. Any questions, let me know.

Thats hilarious. That's not much different than the neighborhood kid getting mad because he can't score a TD, taking his football, and going home. I've got (3) words for you, HikVision. "Boo. Hoo! Hoo!"

John,
You have been hacked or should I say Hiked.

I have to admit I laughed a bit. Yesterday I read the "Most Disrespected Camera Manufacturers" article and so that was my context for this read.
John, you are doing fine. The company is in a marketing crisis - and doesn't know how to handle crisis well so they are lashing back. You've provided more than just evidence, but the word of your followers as a basis. Any business who leans on government subsidies will one day have to answer to the business gods (too many examples to name). They ran (run) the low cost game and when profitability becomes not viable (because low cost volumes decrease when customers start caring about security in their security products and not just price) a crisis ensues.
A sign of character and integrity is owning your problems and addressing them - not lashing out against the whistle blowers.
Keep blowing your whistle. You have support.

I agree with Tim. Take it a a badge of honor. All they can do is lash out with no real defense. Facts are facts.

Oh how I wish the Hik Blog had a comments section

Thanks Tim, Richard, all.
To clarify, I am not offended by it. I've also told Hikvision repeatedly that their tactics here are a mistake and actually helps IPVM.
Interestingly, Hikvision shared their first anti-IPVM post on social media, but it got so much criticism (see LinkedIn) that Hikvision has not promoted the following two anti-IPVM posts. And they took down comments on their own blog. It's a mess for them.
Btw, a few responses on LinkedIn to Hikvision's first anti-IPVM post:

Most any student today taking business classes, at some point in the process, will be required to write a case study on the failures of Blockbuster. It has become one of the most widely discussed and written about business failures in academia.
I wonder if in the near future, Hick will be added to the list of case study subjects, specific to failed PR and marketing response of negative press. The rate at which they are spiraling down is staggering.

They HAD to have hired an american or at least a Chinese person with great english to write that article!
I can't even get my kids toy's instruction written in proper english let alone use the word vociferously correctly spelled and in context. :)

This is hilarious! The only thing that would make it better is if they attempted legal action against IPVM. Could you imagine a judge asking HiKVision to prove that their product isnt crap? :D

It sure is going to be one perilous time when that bubble bursts. And I am afraid it's going to take a toll on everyone =(
