When will you be getting them?

Any specific new end user security cameras that caught your attention?

Does this now make the 4mp cameras worth considering over the 5231R-Z?

Very interesting. It’s seems to me, if you get past the human rights issue and want to go with one of those companies, then as long as you’re using a dual NIC setup you’re probably A-OK.

Do you guys predict any impact to us after the latest White House move to blacklist Hangzhou Hikvision and Zhejiang Dahua, Alibaba-backed AI titans SenseTime and Megvii, and other Chinese firms? It seems to be focused around US businesses but feels like the trade war may start to have more...

Ah so it’s Partially a hardware thing. Makes sense now. What about facial recognition?
