20, Now 30+, Hikvision USA Employees Quit, Go To Turing Video

Published Jul 14, 2021 13:50 PM

Hikvision USA employees are increasingly leaving, as US government action, including the impending FCC ban, takes its toll. However, one single startup, Turing Video, is hiring Hikvision USA employees, in mass.

Inside this note, we examine what is happening as Hikvision employees go to Turing and how this might help (or hurt) Turing's prospects.

See our new Turing Video profile for more on the company's offerings and background.

UPDATE July 28, 2021, the report has been updated to reflect many more Hikvision USA employees going to Turing.
