The grey markets cameras are worse. Not only are they rebranded Hikvisions, they also don’t update the software at all. I bought a cheap camera from Monoprice that is really a Hikvision. And even shows up in their discovery tools. Except the firmware is 4 years old. I can’t get security updates and since it’s not Hikvision I can’t flash it with their patched firmwares.
