    Legal Opinion: Cease and Desist

    Wouldn't you then be the copyright owner unless you agreed to assign it over to them? Per the US government, "Copyright exists from the moment the work is created" and "registration is voluntary" "if you wish to bring a lawsuit for infringement "

    IPVM Releases Phone Version of Calculator

    For many years, the tool offered unlimited time free access. We only added in the timer 5 months ago. As such, the time out can't be the reason why you did not hear about it over the years. However, IPVM is not primarily designed for installers as we focus on new technology and business issues...

    Eyeonet, anyone?

    The contractor hates Dahua but is fine with selling you a company that relabels Dahua? For example, Ameta, the company behind the brand Eyeonet imported 45,000+ pounds of Dahua less than 2 months ago. Contractors often have no idea where their suppliers are getting their products from.

    Eyeonet, anyone?

    Import records show Eyeonet (the company is Ameta) is supplied by Dahua, Raysharp, and TVT (the latter of which are smaller PRC China manufacturers). Relabellers often get products from multiple suppliers so it's hard to immediately ascertain which product is from which. Contractors selling...

    IPVM Releases Phone Version of Calculator

    @CCTVCam It would take a fair amount of work to build that in (it's not rocket science but it is time). What would we get from doing this? I understand that you and other IPCamTalk users would benefit but how would we benefit? I am supportive of a fair trade but it's not clear to me what we get...

    DAHUA TECHNOLOGY TO SELL LOREX TO SKYWATCH

    If the products are produced by Dahua, it does not matter who owns it, by NDAA rules, it would still be banned. For example, until recently Honeywell relablled Dahua and those were NDAA banned even though the name on the box was Honeywell.

    I learn from feedback from various people. As for not giving it away anymore, as you mentioned we did so for years and we still give 90 seconds but we want to reward those who value our work by paying for it.

    IPVM Releases Phone Version of Calculator

    There are lots of "pros" but we see lots of "pros" using and paying for IPVM's calculator or competitors such as JVSG or System Surveyor. Pros are using our tool or competitors to e.g., have the exact model's AoV precalculated on a map, to see what it looks like on street view, satellite view...

    US bans approval of new technology from China's Huawei and ZTE for 'national security

    Fenderman, at issue, is the entire list of prohibited uses: For example, critical infrastructure can be owned by private businesses but is subject to the same prohibition here. And, another example, is public schools, as "government facilities" included or excluded from this? And what...

    US bans approval of new technology from China's Huawei and ZTE for 'national security

    You saying LE and "law enforcement" is simply factually false as the prohibited uses are far broader than simply "law enforcement". You've been adamant about being exact on points and you should hold yourself to the same standards. Fenderman, the FCC itself said directly that they are...
