Hikvision Removed from Security Canada Expos Across Canada
The Canadian Security Association (CANASA) removed Hikvision as a sponsor of its Quebec conference after media and officials objected and said Hikvision will no longer sponsor or exhibit at shows this year. While Hikvision was previously barred from exhibiting at America's ISC West, this is a first in Canada.
In this report, we examine public objections to Hikvision's sponsorship of the expo, Hikvision no longer sponsoring or exhibiting at CANASA events, and Dahua and Hikvision's growing problems in Canada.
