Hikvision responded by admitting it won the project but alleging, without evidence, that these alerts were never actually developed/deployed. Similarly, Hikvision recently blamed an employee for Hikvision including minority detection tech in its latest software. Hikvision has not offered any explanation for a $6 million contract explicitly requiring Hikvision Uyghur recognition that we reported on earlier this year. Executive Summary Hikvision won a ~$9m PRC 'Smart Campus' project in mid-2022 that alerts administrators to any ethnic minority students "suspected of fasting" during Ramadan based on "dining records." The alerts are part of a larger surveillance system against ethnic minority students that tracks what books they borrow, their holiday destinations, family information, and more. This raises human rights concerns for targeting Uyghurs/Muslims, amid a broader PRC crackdown. Hikvision was contracted to "meet the requirements of the tender" including the Ramadan alerts. However, after IPVM reached out, Hikvision told its international partners that it excluded these features out of concern for human rights without supplying any evidence. PRC sources do not mention such an exclusion, and the project's successful completion was announced in December 2022.
