I used to buy many DS-2CD2442FWD-IW for 75USD and now i see the price went up on aliexpress.
Whats the best deal for DS-2CD2442FWD-IW international firmware from China?

Hikvision suspended B2C business of its English version products since May 14th.
Now all of Hikvision English products are previous stocks of individual sellers.

I too am curious. Can’t seem to get good prices on hik cam since several months. That explains it.
Plus the lack of availability that comes with it makes it hard to purchase hikvision cam recently.

Any idea if this is permanent?

Yes, all purchasing from China will be stopped by hikvision. They need protect their local distributor's high profit

How does Ali pricing compare to LTS, BH, etc.? I would assume the latter are much more expensive, yes/no?

it varies by model...between 20-50 per camera more...there is no real overall increasing in pricing on ali...take this popular low light hik camera for example DS-2CD2335FWD-I - Hikvision Ultra Low Light 3M camera
its actually 3 dollars cheaper than when the thread started in 2017. edit, its no longer in stock but available here HIKVISION english version DS 2CD2335FWD I 3 MP Ultra Low Light Network Turret Camera POE Network Camera-in Surveillance Cameras from Security & Protection on Aliexpress.com | Alibaba Group

They just killed all the online seller, Hikvision thought the low price selling ruined their distributors' sales profit. Future end users have to pay 100-150% higher price for hikvision.

When you say 'local', you mean protecting their 'overseas' / US distributors or?

Yes, that is correct. The distributors all over the world, esp in USA. They have the biggest market in North American.
 
Hi guys there are still several companies selling to end users. I just don't think its fair at all at the end user. How is it fair that you have to buy from a local installer who doesn't have knowledge about the product and will charge a ridiculous mark up for selling it to you.

Let me know if you need me to quote for anything.

Jamil
