larry 2 Posted February 26, 2019 Yeah that is the latest trend here in the US. Although in regards to Dahua and Hikvision; most government employees won't be knowledgeable enough to know that their supplier might be selling them a rebranded system. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cortian 9 Posted February 26, 2019 They're to be banned for use by government agencies and, I would expect, private businesses performing sensitive work for government agencies. They're not banned outright. However: This is a black eye for those manufacturers. Many companies will look at this and think "If it's not good enough for the government, it's certainly not good enough for me." I wonder if any non-Chinese tech firms will see this, realize they're being presented with a tremendous gift, and jump to take advantage of it? Btw: As far as we know, Dahua was simply guilty of poor security practices, as opposed to actual intentional nefarious activity. This is why I'm willing to give them a pass--with safeguards.
