FWIW, there are multiple other camera brands who don't manufacture in Xinjiang (or China for that matter), like Axis or Vivotek.

I've eyed Axis cameras but they're pricy (particularly for large sensors) and don't seem to come in the turret form factor I prefer. E.g. the AXIS M4317-PLVE is a dome and $717 at newegg. Kinda a weird model actually—180/360 degree view which isn't what I'd want. But I haven't found anything that is at a price I'd like to pay myself, let alone recommend to others for home use.
Vivotek's a bit more reasonable but still. The (brand new?) Vivotek VIT04A-W is the closest I've found—1/1.8" sensor, 4MP, turret, $535 on jmac.com.
These Ubiquiti models seem really nice in terms of hardware specs and and very reasonably priced. $200 for a 1/1.8" sensor turret, $479 for a 1/1.2" sensor turret with extra AI features. Same general price bracket as Dahua, I think.
