We have been dealing with them for a couple of years now no problems at all.

We have been dealing with them for over a year and we had no business problem.
There is however a support problem.
You should know that if you encounter any problem with a LTS product there is little to no support that you will get from them.

I get at least one phone call, email or flyer a week from LTS. I am lucky to speak to my Hikvision rep once a quarter.

IMO LTS is hilvision equipment just at a cheaper price point. But yes, the lts people are really good. Puts ADI staff to shame.

I work with both. I prefer going to the actual manufacture instead of OEM but I have to say working with LTS is so smooth and easy. when I place an order I can trust that it'll be processed and shipped out the same day. It doesn't take effort to work with them. Working with distributors like ADI takes a lot of hand holding on my part to make sure orders are correct, are processed quickly, and delivered in a reasonable time. RMAs are very similar. So not only do the products cost more going through a "value added" distributor, it costs me more time to get orders completed.
The only issue I have with LTS is that some locations IMO have shady selling practices that are completely against their terms to purchase their products.

As a company, you know you are doing well when your most innovative competitor sells nothing but your innovations. :)

The assertion that younger workers have "less external distractions" is unsupported by data.
Don't know about you, but I had way too many external distractions when I was younger!

Biggest Reason for me LTS over Hikvision LTS warranty smacks the snot out of Hikvision. 3 Year over the counter exchange, no questions asked in the extremely rare instance there is a problem. cement LTS repairs nothing you cannot even get a replacement board. I tried for a customers LTS SDI recorder. I use LTS for TVI and entry level IP going to other brands for higher end. You can also upgrade LTS firmware to Hikvision on the comparable models. To me its interchangeable.

A few moths back. I have not had the need to recently.
Another nice feature with LTS is they ship till 6pm for next day delivery. In a pinch its nice, also simple blind drop shopping when working out of town..

I like the geovision products as a step up by no means highend. No annual licensing fees. My current customer base doesn't have many "Hi End Customers" !
My verticle markets have become multi family housing, Low income housing, Industrial, and Manufacturing. None of which are looking for 4k or higher resolution.
I do almost zero retail and residential.

I've had only positive experiences with LTS. They also seem to have the latest Hik gear (branded as LTS) before it's available from ADI. Very quick response to orders.

We used to sell LTS and Hikvision, Hik threatened to stop dealing with LTS if they did not drop us as distributors as we were selling alot of LTS. One issue we found with LTS was that firmware issues were not sorted until 2 -4 months after Hiks own models were sorted.

John how did I get labeled with saying LTS is hikvusions most innovative competitor. I dont see where I posted those words. Cheap and innovative do not eork in the same sentence last time I checked. How can a brand be more innovative than its OEM? Kinda of like CNN around here? Better performsnce than Hikvision for the same money all day. About as innovative as a graphite pencil. Just to clear the air.
