Huawei: Hikvision / Dahua "Strategy Is Just To Provide Cheap Cameras"
At the Intersec 2019 show in Dubai, IPVM spoke with the show's "exclusive artificial intelligence sponsor" Huawei who recently declared their intentions of becoming a top 3 global provider in video surveillance. By contrast, Hikvision's President has already publicly stated that he thinks Huawei will quit video surveillance in a few years.
Huawei representatives explained to IPVM their own approach, contrasting it to what Huawei described as Hikvision and Dahua's "strategy...just to provide cheap cameras."
Inside this note, we share Huawei's remarks to IPVM, analyze and contrast Huawei's approach to Dahua and Hikvision.
