Other than a couple EmpireTech cams on Amazon I haven't been able to find any that aren't so stupidly priced that I can't see anybody buying them ($2699.99 for a 5mp dome cam? Gimmie a break). There are none on eBay. All the others are found are grossly over priced and being sold by "Dealers". There's a brand out there called "DahuaSecurity (all one word) but they are obviously not Dahua. Either dahua went belly up or they're hiding their cams. Andy, where are you?

Dahua did not go out of business.

Many sellers are being blocked on ebay and Amazon that are selling Dahua branded cameras due to over reaching the ban.

Empiretech has done a lot of work to still be able to sell.

Hey Guys

We will have 10days off from Feb.14th-24th for the Lunar New Year---Horse, happy new year to all again.^^
Business on Amazon, Website orders keep processing, they are local US. Thanks a lot for all guys' support and help.
 
I'm concerned prices going to only go up from here-on
In 48 hours his camera prices will be going up 15% to 30% encroaching Ubiquiti territory. What was $175 for a 5442 Varifocal camera yesterday will go up in excess of $220 tomorrow :( or even higher

If you need cameras, the 5442 is the standard, tried and true for the last 7 years! Literally, almost 7 years - they were first conceived in 2019
This guy has 1 left for $115 shipped

 
Dahua Technology (Dahua Security) does not sell directly to installers or end users.
Dahua cameras should only be available through authorised distributors OR through OEM rebranding.

Online platforms AliExpress/eBay/Banggood, etc are typically 'grey market' products that are unauthorised distribution channels.

No. I'm technical support for a regional Dahua office.
I've been a long time IPCT user (before I joined Dahua). I made this 2nd account to keep my views/banter separate from my personal IPCT account.
