The Co-op is to ban the use of Chinese CCTV in its supermarkets after warnings over ethical concerns and security risks. The company – the fifth-biggest food retailer in the UK, with 2,500 stores nationwide – is to phase out all CCTV cameras from the Chinese firm Hikvision.

I wonder if others will follow suit - Hikvision (not the best of monikers - I always think the installer will be called Cletus) are in a fair few government sites.

Right, thanks for that. My offices are full of them. Wonder if there’s a plan to replace them? I shall ask our security team.
