Zhejiang Dahua Technology - 2nd largest security cameras manufacturer on the verge of collapse

Company will get $443 millions USD of government money but they can't help much, except to pay salary for people who will do nothing. Money will travel via intermediaries like China Mobile and Alibaba Group Holding.

Company is mostly focusing development on cameras made for tracking ordinary citizens where each camera is part of giant AI cloud that can track you in realtime using not only facial AI, but also walking recognition of items that belong to you. Cameras work in extreme close union with cell providers that send information about your name, home address and such.

Yet Sony and Samsung no longer can supply any sensors to company, HiSilicon do not have big stock of chips that had been core of company cameras and also around 60 of other chips and parts are no longer available.

Company need big amount of supplies for servicing and cameras replacement as lot of cameras are being destroyed by citizens in last months according to their service department.

Inside company ordinary workers are in panic, as big money are unable to solve any of the problems that company have, multiple intermediaries that company tried to use to get more chips and sensors stock also stopped working with company 2 days ago.

Industry rumor, today source

Sony, Panasonic and Samsung can be ordered by next executive Trump order to stop sensors supply to ALL Chinese firms or their affiliates, order will part of the sanctions for the Chinese actions towards Uighurs.

Main goal will be to fully stop high quality security cameras production as well as stop smartphone manufacturing by Xiaomi and BBK brands (Oppo and Vivo).

Z-CAM could get another extreme blow here.

First, they won't move anywhere. If they won't find solution fast it won't anything to move soon.

Second, main issue is in proprietary specific Chinese chips :-)

Looking at B&H and Adorama

Z-CAM E2-M4 and Z CAM E2-F8 are only cameras in stock all else in on back order or not available.

HiSilicon situation

Retail channel operators for Huawei's smartphones in China are hiking prices of the vendor's models powered by HiSilicon's Kirin chips that are expected to become obsolete in the wake of the US sanctions against the Chinese tech giant.

Z-CAM and development of situation

Z-CAM cameras batch that they send before sanctions finally got to US. They smartly used limited batch of LSIs on more expensive models, so cheaper ones are out of stock.

Real wave must hit all distributors in all countries around November and early December as getting LSIs will become impossible. For now it is few poorer countries that have no stock according to messages I got.

Yes it seems they are sneaking away...

Panasonic ....Z-Cam KILLER

Look above - it is already introduced and we have this images here in BGH topic.

if it is confirmed that the hardware of the GH5s works inside and that with MFt

the next variant will be the GH5S with original sensor

I am thrilled and happy that I have resisted the E2 until today,

1.) the design

2.) the performance of the GH5S

3.) Finally no 200 3dLut and umpteen additional programs to eliminate the defects of the cam

4.) finalya new victim for " Mr. Panasonic Hack Vitaly_Kiselev "

this will be my next cam I'm already starting to think about how to explain this to my wife ...

@Bob_Hawk

Some of Z-CAM dealerships want to clear inventory to no longer be responsible for service and related things.

It will be fully visible in next 2 months.

Huawei Technologies Co. quietly spent months racing to stockpile critical radio chips ahead of Trump administration sanctions, ensuring it can keep supplying Chinese carriers in their $170 billion rollout of 5G technology through at least 2021.

Partner Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. began ramping up output in late 2019 of Huawei’s 7-nanometer Tiangang communications chips, the most crucial element in 5G base stations, people familiar with the matter said. The Taiwanese contract manufacturer eventually shipped more than 2 million units at Huawei’s behest ahead of the sanctions cutoff last month, one of the people said, asking not be identified discussing internal matters.

Processors used in Z-CAM had been one of casualties, as Huawei demanded to supply only very limited number of chips, with 5G base station ones being top priority.

Now it is completely bad.
