EViS Posted April 8, 2020 Author Share Posted April 8, 2020 These days, using trade desks in isolation is nuts if you're after the best prices (and sometimes advice too). More often than not there's a better price online with a faster service when you account for deliveries directly to your door. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

al-yeti Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 5 hours ago, PeterJames said: Really? That is interesting ADI are going to love you posting that on here, Hik do not like their distributors selling their stuff to JP, and distributors have got into trouble over it in the past . I only know Dahua products, I have never really bothered with Hik for varying reasons. I couldnt give you a comparison other than the fact that they both have similar versions of the same stuff. What I can tell you is Hik are part owned by the Chinese Government, and Dahua are not, yet guess whose face recognition cameras are in all the tube and train stations in Shenzhen Many dealers selling hik Hik don't care for some reason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterJames Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 Quote Hikvision UK professional CCTV range is now only sold through authorized distributors and authorized resellers in the UK, nearly all of these product codes starting with DS- Here is Hikvision UK Published notice of the change. "Hikvision UK Limited only sells products through our authorized distribution partners.

MrHappy Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 I think @james.wilson was the 1st to predict on TSI that Hikvision was one day to become the "standard" product ? At the time a 16ch sprite was couple of grand, where in 2020 where it couple of hundred for 16ch Hikvision Quote Mr Veritas God Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
