  1. Overview

    Dear Security Professors,

    Welcome to a new world of CCTV System. Being a serious system provider, we always want to protect the interest of your business and thus we are here to introduce you an innovative and ideal concept for your CCTV business.

    You can easily notice that there are numerous security companies in Malaysia today and many of these companies are carrying their own CCTV products, especially PC based DVR System. However, company like yours that is reliable and earnest in long run business are very rare. Regretfully, majority of these security companies are taking advantage of others by selling counterfeit products.

    We understand that some security companies might not have sufficient knowledge on counterfeit CCTV products. We also understand that some might be misled by their suppliers due to unreasonably low prices on these counterfeit CCTV products. But we could not tolerance on companies that deliberately selling these counterfeit products!

    We have to admit that, being exclusive distributor of Malaysia and Brunei, there were times we had difficulties differentiating genuine and counterfeit products, not to mention public that have limited knowledge about CCTV products. Most of the time, public will get cheated and face legal action as a result of anti-piracy operation.

    Thus, we feel that in order to protect both our business partners and public from counterfeit CCTV products, we need to introduce a new concept for CCTV solution, GeoVision Certified Integrator (GCI).

  3. Why do we need GCI?

    Firstly, there are companies that claim they sell “OEM pack of GeoVision product” or that they are “GeoVision Authorized Distributor or Agent” in local market. The fact is, these companies are simply selling counterfeit GeoVision products to our value customers. GCI can curb these illegal and wrongful business activities almost immediately.

    Secondly, we should be aware that a counterfeit GeoVision product costs merely 20% of our genuine GeoVision product and this is a major reason why our Authorized Dealers often received complains from their customers on higher prices of genuine GeoVision product. The customers that accusing us selling at unfair prices often unaware that they will face legal action from anti-piracy body by using counterfeit products.

    In order to assist public in choosing a genuine GeoVision DVR System whilst differentiating our authorized dealers and irresponsible unauthorized reseller, we would like to invite our value business partner to participate in GCI program.
