How can I provide 3rd party products (such as camera, device, or application) to participate the development of Example System?

Rules of "Example System integration"

• The camera/device must stay in our lab no less than 6 months to ensure the test adequacy and completeness.
• You need to advise & explain what product competitive edge that will be gained by Genius Vision by putting this effort.
• Genius Vision develop & integrate 3rd-party components (such as camera, device, or application) based on the principle of "Open Specification Integration", which means what we integrate must be accessible and available to all Genius Vision NVR users, including pricing & buying information. If you do not agree to this term, please do not participate.
• The decision of whether or not to integrate the 3rd party component, will be made on the sole discretion of Genius Vision. Generally, this means we will decide only to integrate what is most valuable addition to our product, considering current resource prioritization.
• The integration and testing process will be initiated any moment from receipt of the products. However, no exact date will be given, the schedule will be dynamically adjusted in accordance with our own project scheme.
• If, after testing, the device failed to meet Genius Vision's quality standard, we might not proceed with the integration.
• The 3rd-party product information and the test result will be made public.
• Genius Vision will not be responsible for round-trip freight shipping cost and someone else needs to pay for it, in case shipping is needed.

Examples of the rules

Here we briefly explain the rules by some examples:

• If integration of the component requires signing an NDA or treat it like a secret, we will not proceed with Example System integration. This is because after a successful integration, we will publish product information and pricing/availability on our website, thus allowing all Genius Vision NVR's users to acquire such component.
• In order to ensure component availability, we will try to contact the seller and confirm the price and availability, before submitting to internal review. If product availability couldn't be confirmed, the integration request will be rejected.
• If the component could not be bought by Genius Vision (when opted), we will not proceed with the Example System integration.
• Some camera spec looks good. However, after test, it keeps video loss without a tangible solution, we will stop the integration, even when the camera has arrived to our lab.

Please also note that, even if your integration request doesn't fit the rules described above, it doesn't mean it couldn't be integrated. It just means that we couldn't do it without charging expensive integration fees. This type of integration request will fall into the category of paid consultant services. More information can be looked-up in this FAQ entry.

If conditions stated above are acceptable then please provide following required information. (Please note all listed items are mandatory information, in order to submit to further review).

• Model No.
• Spec Sheet, preferably in PDF format.
• Manufacturer name
• Where to buy
• MSRP
• Discounted Price to GV (will not be made public, purchase only for internal lab use)

Remarks: A request for delivery will be submitted to you once your application passes the preliminary review.
