It likely costs a fortune to ship the products back to China, so it makes sense to sell them for cash, even pennies to the dollar.

Good write up, Derek, and interesting piece. It seems pretty amusing the sell off of equipment the last day, but in a way makes sense. The equipment is so cheap it's probably more to ship that make it.

For a number of years now the so called small off shore ccv companies have been showing up at ISC west and for the most part they tend to cluster together which as lead me to believe that their all part of single larger corporate group based on nationality. Note that the booths tend to be sub-par in size. Their art work tends to be above average. I would perfer something a litle more established myself. Just a through or two

From what I recall, and someone correct me, my understanding was that selling anything directly out of a booth was against the rules, essentially to stop ISC West from being a flea market.

I am about to comission a Hybrid DVR with a PTZ and a controller. We will see how good it is.
