- bradknowles 5y agoSadly, both HikVision and Daihua have apparently produced hardware for the Chinese government to help them do facial recognition on the Uighur population, and otherwise commit atrocities against them. And both HikVision and Daihua have a large array of brand names that they sell under: See: https://ipvm.com/reports/hik-oems-dir https://ipvm.com/reports/hik-oems-dir and https://ipvm.com/reports/dahua-oem https://ipvm.com/reports/dahua-oem
- citizenpaul 5y agoThe crazy thing about this to me is that Chinese spy hardware is actually the best defense against the US Gov spyware if you live in the US. There is less reason to care if China is spying on you, they are not going to suddenly arrest you. The US governments will though.

I've just accepted that there isn't and always recommend having them on a separate VLAN segregated from the rest of the network and access is controlled by a bastion host which only allows trusted machines to connect.
