Chinese video surveillance company Hikvision has been advertising ethnic recognition features as part of its new batch of security updates, reported The Hongkong Post. Many world leaders are thus questioning if the firm should be allowed to function within the domestic markets.
Hikvision has since long faced criticism for its failure in upholding secure networks for international clients. The company faces several espionage allegations across different countries.
The UK government as a result of the allegations put a blanket ban on Chinese cameras in governmental buildings. The government later called for an absolute ban on the sale and use of security cameras made by Hikvision and Dahua, both partly owned by the Chinese government.
According to a report in The Hongkong Post, these actions were not in isolation, they came at a time when the U.S had already warned nations around the world that Chinese tech firms posed significant security threats, one which if not prevented, can prove to be detrimental to their vital national security interests.
The report also said that Hikvision had been placed on US's trading blacklist in 2019 after the Commerce department claimed that the company in question had played a collusive hand in Human Rights abuses and had implemented China's repressive campaigns against its domestic ethnic minority communities
In view of Hikvision's links with the Chinese military, Former US President Donald Trump signed an order banning American companies and individuals from investing in the firm.

Hikvision and Dahua both make highly rated security cameras. I don’t use either of them, but have considered them in the past. The Honeywell security cameras I use in my residence are just so-so.
Should Hikvision and Dahua cameras be considered for residential use?
Quite helpful in a residence when you need Ng Lap Seng to know the best time to visit.
Sounds like a company whose product could be used to recognize poor southerners and rednecks.
Democrats will want that, sincd they represent the biggest collection of racists on the planet. After all, EVERYTHING is about race with them, and they may as well have a race detector to save them processing time when they have to decide whether or not to use the “racist” card.
What will the Chicoms think of next?
I heard the Chicoms have stopped using the technology domestically because they all look the same to it. In the rare occasions when it does recognize someone, it wants to recognize them again 30 minutes later.
We use Hikvision...for home security...I am not happy about it like my hub is. Security pro told us it is the best, tho...
Yes. The first TV sets tuned into Hee Haw had Hick Vision.
Race... Class... Gender.
