I have found an OEM camera, and it's price is cheaper 30$ than brand. I was hesitant to purchase OEM.

Would you please let us know whether i need to purchase it? If the function isn't different from Hikvision, then I will choose to purchase an OEM that is cheaper than it.
Thanks
If you’re within $30 of the brand price and are unfamiliar with the OEM vendor, I’d be inclined to pay the extra $30.
One thing for sure with OEMs is that if you run into any technical problems or need warranty support, the vendor you bought from is responsible for providing that. IMO, that means you should feel comfortable with the vendor before making the purchase. What’s their track record? Will they be around a year from now?
IMO, that’s why OEM Dahua models are so popular on this forum. There’s been an awesome vendor (Andy,
@EMPIRETECANDY) working with forum members here for years. His OEMs are the same as regular
Dahua equipment, just no Dahua logos. Can be upgraded with Dahua firmware. He’s active on the forum here, keeping us updated with new Dahua info. Great vendor. Nobody’s found a Hikvision version of him.
