All that stuff is made in China

Hikvision makes a ton of other brands as well.

This is all nanny scare tactic BS

No evidence as of yet that Beijing or anyone is spying on anybody through Hikvision or other China made gear

Hikvision is 42% OWNED BY THE CHINESE GOVERNMENT.

Which in case you forgot.

Doesn’t believe in open elections.

I agree, as it relates to home security systems, but where our national security is concerned, I think surveillance/security equipment should be manufactured in the United States and that production should monitored by representatives of the agency(ies) which will be using the devices. I don’t think we should take any chances with such equipment.
