Kia ora and welcome to the July 2026 issue of New Zealand Security Magazine, the second edition of our new shorter, sharper monthly publication!
Leading this latest edition of NZSM is a very smart piece of writing from Cyntion Managing Director Tara Pulawski. Tara argues that there are a range of objective considerations – from firmware quality, construction, support, network behaviour to real-world performance and more – that procurement teams should subject any CCTV camera to. And they should be doing this no matter the country of origin.
This is essential reading for electronic security and procurement professionals trying to make sense of the debates over Chinese cameras. Tara puts the political smoke and mirrors to one side in favour of a technical evidence-based approach that’s just good sense.
