The Co-op is to ban the use of Chinese CCTV in its supermarkets after warnings over ethical concerns and security risks. The company – the fifth-biggest food retailer in the UK, with 2,500 stores nationwide – is to phase out all CCTV cameras from the Chinese firm Hikvision.
I wonder if others will follow suit - Hikvision (not the best of monikers - I always think the installer will be called Cletus) are in a fair few government sites.
It seems that has been going on for some time, UK government bans new Chinese security cameras
Right, thanks for that. My offices are full of them. Wonder if there’s a plan to replace them? I shall ask our security team.
