We replaced with "AV Costar" and "Optex" cameras

AV Costar is American made and Optex is Japanese.

We are also looking at another American brand called "SCW". They are used by all 5 branches of military, most federal entities, and majority of public universities.

It's a huge improvement using hardware/firmware made in countries other than China, but for me it's still an issue that I can't really control the hardware and software of the camera.

Literally the largest camera manufacturer, they OEM tons of other manufacturers.

The largest would be Axis Communications/Canon. Furthermore, you're partially correct as they (Hikvision) are the largest Communist party-owned security camera manufacturer.

Sorry, I only give a shite about U.S. and Europe, where Axis rules. The rest of the shitty world can have their shitty spy cameras.
