I'm a bit surprised by how well they are doing in the current climate. It's good news - the Vivotek team deserve success for all the work they put in. Is this possibly a case where Vivotek has a loyal audience in a market that is under-represented on IPVM?

They do OEM for the largest networking manufacturer in the world and the product quality has improved 100% since that unnamed networking company switched to Vivotek.

I see vivotek mostly popular with IT shops/hobbyist/home owners. they either use Vivotek or Ubiquiti cameras.
they are low end in my opinion, wouldnt use them when i have better alternatives like Samsung/Hanwha

What about the Alarm.com factor? I believe all Alarm.com cameras are Vivotek?
I have just recently entered the security camera scene so excuse my ignorance. Thanks to John and IPVM I am learning. Most of my security camera experience is with Alarm.com. Alarm.com's tech support is second to none!! (that I have experienced). So Vivotek has quite a customer with Alarm.com. The Vivotek cameras they provide have been incredibly reliable!

About 5 years ago here in the UK Norbain were everywhere with the Vivotek brand, then it went quieter, and now think they've binned them completely since they got hold of Hikvision.
Never hear about Vivotek anymore, and Norbain is fully 'Hik, Hik, Hik'

I believe that today, Vivotek is the best cost benefit, it is the only equipment that beats head on with Axis and has a better price.
I read the comments, asking for NVR and the basics of small integrators.
I think these people who comment, use Chinese, like Hikvision, Dahua and Uniview do not know Vivotek, Axis, Panasonic, Avigilon ... that use the Chinese and stop talking nonsense.
Compare Hikvision with Vivotek, Axis, Panasonic is at least insane, there is no comparison.
The only comparison is that they are very cheap and do not fulfill what they promise in the many Speecs of the same camera (hehehe).
The only thing that Chinese does well and food, and copy.

Vivotek appear to be on a clear mission to emulate AXIS - which I loathe.
But in saying that they do offer another low cost option and fairly complete solution with 95% of the features the 'big guys' bring.

In what sense do you say that?
I did not understand the reasoning.
