The camera companies always end up having a lot in common:

Not all of them. At my workplace (the parent company, actually), security and privacy are among the highest priorities.

Competing with companies that don’t share these values is a “slow path.”

For instance, one of the most common requests is integrating our VMS with Chinese cameras, because of cost. While we’ve done it in the past, using a hardware device to prevent unexpected protocol communication, our CEO concluded that it was ethically questionable given our principles.

TLDR: The feature was dropped, and you can imagine that this decision had a significant impact on sales.

Pretty bold move, honestly.

Because of things like that, that's why I stay.
