Huawei: Hikvision / Dahua "Strategy Is Just To Provide Cheap Cameras"

Published Jan 24, 2019 11:54 AM

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."
