Uniview Falsely Banned In Kirschenbaum Newsletter

By John Honovich, Published Nov 30, 2021, 11:35am EST (Info+)

Uniview / UNV was falsely blacklisted in industry attorney Ken Kirschenbaum's newsletter titled "Comprehensive list of banned equipment". Kirschenbaum defended the newsletter, saying "I posted comment by someone else; no verification. Don't shoot the messenger"
