Hikvision knows nothing about these potential crimes. IPVM\u2019s email was the first time the company has ever heard of anything like this,&#8221; the company said in a statement when reached for comment by IPVM. &#8220;IPVM\u2019s selfish decision to seek comment from us prior to alerting authorities is highly questionable and, in this instance, disgraceful. But if any part of IPVM\u2019s reporting is true, Hikvision will enthusiastically assist law enforcement to bring those child predators to justice. We just hope IPVM\u2019s lack of action has not given criminals a head start in evading justice.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Hikvision said in a statement to Fox News Digital that it &#8220;received an email from IPVM alleging that criminals have used its cameras to record unconscionable things. Our lawyers immediately reported the allegations to the US Department of Justice, multiple offices of the FBI and the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We are doing everything we can to help.
