Oi, it's tough to be a camera rebrander in this modern world of ours. So much work, so impossible to hide.

Next comes the tear down to show the different chips and other circuit board differences, and then a posting of the firmware code differences to show the UTC engineering that went into the product.  Right??

Wha 'UTC engineering' are you expecting or think you might see? It's visibly copied and pasted from Hikvision.

That was sarcasm, referencing the other thread where it was insisted multiple times that UTC engineered......etc.

Ok, I thought you were being sarcastic but on the oft-chance you were serious, I did not want to insult you.

With UTC being such a large conglomerate, how would the NDAA effect their ability to continue OEM'ing from Hikua?  Would that potentially risk their government contracts with say Pratt & Whitney, Collins, etc.

Once the rules come out for the ban, it will be clearer how it will be enforced. There is certainly risk so not sure what UTC is going to do.

With all the potential liability for integrators selling Hikua or any OEM, I'm shocked that a global brand like UTC would even consider keeping the OEM going.  This could easily get them kicked out of any federal agency business, and depending on the agency, it could impact LenelS2, also, since they're all part of UTC.

This is honestly just shocking to me.

So now we have our answer, UTC is closing the interlogix US business 12/31. Interlogix has never hidden the HIKvision mfr for the truvision products from us. In any case UTC is dropping the business line in US and Canada on 2 months notice.

AXIS made in sweden seems our only non chinese choice. Are there any truly Made in USA cameras? The dell servers that run the Qognify Vision Hub appliance SVRs aren't made in USA. When will ipvm start showing country of origin for the products listed in the comparison tool?

That's good for your case but they have regularly and repeatedly hidden it in the marketing and documentation and as well numerously to us.

We covered the Interlogix shutdown here - Interlogix Shutting Down

AXIS made in sweden seems our only non chinese choice.

Very few of Axis models are made in Sweden but all of Axis cameras sold outside of China are made outside of China, see: Axis: Ends Made In China Products 2017 (Except For Domestic China Sales)

When will ipvm start showing country of origin for the products listed in the comparison tool?

It's a good idea, the problem though is that it is hard to verify since very few manufacturers actually disclose where products are made. We might be able to do China / not-China though as that tends to be easier.

The AXIS rep that did our presentation two weeks ago said they only manufactured in Sweden. This is why we subscribe to IPVM for an independent voice. Thailand is fine but tell me the truth.

Any idea if the new TVD-5604H variant is an OEM from Hikvision or from a different manufacturer? Specs are virtually the same but it looks physically different somewhat.
