Talk:Hikvision

State owned, size of stake
There is conflicting information in the article as to whether the Chinese state owns part of Hikvision, or if it used to owned part of the company. If the Chinese state owns part of the company it would be good to include the percentage if that information is available.Jonpatterns (talk) 08:09, 17 December 2016 (UTC)

It just removed by some new Wikipedian or someone associated with Hikvision. Moreover it is a bit odd to state the government own how much stake. Seem it is more appropriate to state the stake held by the mega state-owned conglomerate. Matthew_hk  t  c  09:05, 17 December 2016 (UTC)


 * Adding information about any and all owners improves the article, including government, mega state-owned conglomerates and others.Jonpatterns (talk) 12:41, 17 December 2016 (UTC)

Needed updates

I’d like to address some updates needed for this article and get some advice on how to help make that happen. •	First and foremost, our 2017 Annual Report (2016 results) with updated financials can be found here: http://www.cninfo.com.cn/finalpage/2017-04-22/1203358317.PDF and here http://www.securitysales.com/news/hikvision_posts_revenue_growth_for_2016/

•	The “Activities” section includes some Hikvision product categories, but there are more – UAVs, robotics, AI and Deep Learning applications, networked and cloud storage products and services, automobile electronics, manufacturing equipment, intelligence solutions, access control and alarm products, and others. Below are some news stories about Hikvision’s product lines:

Dead Links
Hi, my name is Mike with Hikvision. I noticed that citation #27 on our page – “Jeffrey He, president of Hikvision North America, had criticized the online blogger site for allegedly seeking financial gain” – and citations #11 and #12 – “Hikvision has been listed on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange since 2010. The company provides surveillance products to the global market via more than 2,400 partners in 155 countries and regions and has its presence in 18 locations around the world” – are dead links. Due to my conflict of interest, can other users help review and remove these passages from the page? Thank you!
