Milestone Drops Hikvision From Elite Partners

By: John Honovich, Published on Feb 11, 2019

Milestone has quietly dropped Hikvision from their 'Elite Partners', less than 3 years after adding the Chinese government-owned mega-manufacturer.

This comes amidst rising criticisms of Hikvision, from mainstream global media and to UK and US elected officials.

Inside this note, we examine:

Feedback from Milestone on why they made this move
How it does or does not relate to cybersecurity and Hikvision's Chinese government control
Hikvision's status with Milestone now
What advantages Elite Partners receive
Contrast to Genetec's expelling of Hikvision
Hikvision's desire to grow partners
Hikvision's promotion of its own CMS / VMS
How this may impact Hikvision
