I got the email from them on this as well. They said they will only be stocking "Longse" branded equipment in the USA.

I think I remember IPVM mentioning they asked the head of Longse to take IPVM staff off the SPAM list when they were at maybe ISCWest a few years ago....? Did you guys stop getting emails from "Elvis"?

$6 cameras?? I may have to start my own integration company now. I'll easily clear a 1000% profit end of year, although that will equate to about $600, my car trunk is my warehouse so expenses are low. I will easily steal business from all the serious integrators who sell on value and solution. With Longse, I can take the Hikvision dealer philosophy to a new level!

Maybe Hik USA will sue Longse USA as a little warning to those who venture out of their ‘backyard’...

UPDATE -
Just received confirmation that the building is actually owned by Longse. Updated report to reflect this:
For their US location Longse purchased the office building they will occupy. LA County Tax Assessor Site shows the building was recently purchased for just under $1M. An enquiry to LA County lists the building owner as "LONGSE USA INC".

I've always thought that if Longse could develop more solid GUI's and Software interfaces, that they could be a real threat as long as they can keep their prices the same.

Longse was looking for national sales manager for their US operation. There was a job advertisement on Craig List but can't find it anymore. But here is link to a Chinese site that shows the same ad. http://c.ccyp.com/Content/Details/35152
They are also advertising on indeed.
https://www.indeed.com/cmp/Longse-USA-Inc./jobs/Sales-Manager-Cctv-Security-Product-2952c98e8542c5d8?q=national+sales+manager
A chance for a great career advancement for those who know how to sell cheap IP cameras by speaking Chinese (a requirement for the position).

Actually since July, 2016, Longse already stop mass mailing to US customers, our sales person are allowed to send email only after they set up customer file for the USA customers who are indeed need our products.
In the past years, in order to expand Longse influence and promote the marketing, we sent emails to introduce new or hot products, new technologies and developments,
the assembling technology improvements, the seasons promotion information, etc, to our clients cooperated or potential.
Someone like it, and someone does not accept it. We are sorry if we disturbed you.
Actually we also feel a little sad that someone still keep the original impression to Longse when not fully know us, even we have already made some changes.
But it does not matter, we will still try every effort to become better. And we are striving to change our mode/ways to sale, committed to providing the service which is one to one, really meet customers requirement, high satisfaction to our customers!
Our strategy to set up the USA office is that: totally change our original sales mode, only have one distributor in each city or each area, in order to protect our distributor's interests and provide them more excellent service!
At the same time, we have technician in USA office, which can provide telephone service and on-site support services.
If you want to represent our products with “longse” brand, please contact our people in USA office directly(Sales.usa@longse.com) , if you need OEM products, pls feel free to contact our factory in China ( the purchase amount is at least 250 thousand USD per year, our email is info@longse.com or kelly@longse.com ) or USA office. Thanks for your understanding&support!

I don't know if it is effective but Federal Trade Commission has a Spam reporting address. https://www.ftccomplaintassistant.gov/GettingStarted?NextQID=280&Url=%23%26panel1-5#crnt
spam@uce.gov As to what effect this would give is unknown, but now they enter the USA they will have to answer for their actions. (possibly!)

Update: Longse has hired Daniel Mik, who previously worked at Eastern CCTV, to be their USA sales manager.
