IPVM is a surveillance industry research group based in the United States.[1][5][6] IPVM gained recognition in 2020 and 2021 for its reporting on the use of thermal imaging cameras during the COVID-19 pandemic[7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16] and for covering how PRC-based technology firms Alibaba, Dahua Technology, Huawei and Megvii filed patents for face detection technology designed to target Uyghurs.[17][5][18][19][20][21][22][23][24]

History

In 2008, John Honovich launched IPVM, an initialism of Internet Protocol Video Market, in Hawaii.[1] The website's first post was published on April 10, 2008.[25]

In October 2018, Reporters Without Borders condemned the Chinese government’s decision to block IPVM's website behind the Great Firewall.[26]

In December 2019, IPVM opened a 12,000 sq. ft. (1,115 m2) research facility in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania where it tests video surveillance hardware and software from manufacturers such as AnyVision, Avigilon, Axis Communications, Dahua, and Hikvision.[1][27]

In March 2021, the Journal of Biomedical Optics published a study by five IPVM researchers and a U.S. military medical service officer on the problems with COVID-19 fever screening devices.[28] The study was funded by IPVM and conducted at its Pennsylvania research facility.[28]

In May 2021, the BBC aired Are You Scared Yet, Human?, a Panorama documentary featuring an interview with IPVM on Dahua Technology's, Hikvision's, and Huawei's roles in developing mass surveillance technologies in China, including technological products designed to identify Uyghurs.[29]

In September 2021, IPVM named Kean University professor and former The New York Times Upfront editor Carl Stoffers as its managing editor.[2] Also in September 2021, IPVM presented an expert statement to the Uyghur Tribunal in the United Kingdom.[30][31]

Joint investigations

In 2020, The Washington Post and IPVM jointly reported on Huawei's testing of facial recognition technology designed to identify Uyghurs.[32][33]

In 2021, IPVM partnered with TechCrunch to examine U.S. local governments' purchases and U.S. retailers' sales of surveillance equipment manufactured by companies linked to Uyghur abuses[34][35] as well as with The Intercept to investigate the U.S. military's purchase of sanctioned cameras for the U.S. embassy in Caracas.[36]

Controversies

Hikvision

In July 2021, Hikvision resigned its membership in the Security Industry Association, a U.S.-based trade association, citing in its resignation letter that it had been "harassed and maligned" by IPVM.[37][38][39] Hikvision further claimed that IPVM had engaged in "unethical hacking" of its cameras and that IPVM had published "misleading blog stories."[37][38][39]

In January 2022, Axios reported that Hikvision had asked U.S. congressional ethics officials to investigate potential lobbying disclosure violations by IPVM.[40] U.S. senator Marco Rubio and congresswoman Claudia Tenney retweeted the Axios article, urging their congressional colleagues to ignore Hikvision while claiming that Hikvision's accusations against IPVM amounted to censorship.[41][42]

Global Times

In November 2021, Global Times, a tabloid under the auspices of the Chinese Communist Party, published an article by Gao Lei writing under the pen name 耿直哥,[43] or Candid Brother, to its Baidu[44] and WeChat[45] accounts criticizing IPVM as a U.S. government mouthpiece parading as a civilian company. Lei also compared IPVM founder John Honovich to German anthropologist Adrian Zenz and claimed that another IPVM employee is "a rather extreme white right-winger."[44][45]

Reputation

IPVM is well-regarded within the video surveillance industry, with Axis Communications acknowledging IPVM's "independence as a tester and blogger" in 2020[1] and Techdirt describing IPVM as "a long-running and respected authority on security cameras and other video surveillance technology" in 2021.[46] IPVM reporting has served as the basis for articles by outlets such as the MIT Technology Review[47] and Reuters.[48]

Citations

IPVM's reporting and research have been cited internationally by more than 60 news organizations, nonprofits, and think tanks, including ABC News,[49] Access Now,[50] the American Civil Liberties Union,[9] The Atlantic,[51] the Australian Financial Review,[17] Axios[52] BBC News,[5][18] Big Brother Watch,[53] Bloomberg News,[54] the Brookings Institution,[55] Business Insider,[56] Calcalist,[57] CBS News,[58] CNBC,[20] CNET,[59][60] CNN Business,[19] Engadget,[61] L'Express,[62] Fast Company,[63] Financial Times,[64][65][66][67] Forbes,[68] France 24,[23] Gazeta Wyborcza,[69] The Guardian,[21] The Hindu,[70] India Today,[71] The Intercept,[36] the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists,[72] The Japan Times,[73] KTVT,[13] Los Angeles Times,[74] Marine Corps Times,[75] Medium,[16] Miami New Times,[12] Mint,[76] the National Cyber Security Centre of Lithuania,[77] NBC News,[78][79] New York Post,[80] The New York Times,[7][22] PCMag,[81] Politico,[82][83] the Poynter Institute,[84] Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty,[85] Radio Taiwan International,[86] Reuters,[87][88][89][90][91] Sky News Australia,[14] TechCrunch,[34][35] Techdirt,[92] Thomson Reuters Foundation News,[93] The Verge,[94] Vice News,[32] The Wall Street Journal,[10] The Washington Post,[8][24] WFSB,[95] The Wire China,[96] Wired,[97] WKRG-TV,[98] WPMI-TV,[99] WRBL,[100] WSB-TV.[11]
