Whether the concern is related to supply chain integrity, cybersecurity, or evolving government regulations, operating with non-compliant surveillance equipment can expose your organization to unnecessary risk.

Understanding the Issue

The NDAA outlines specific restrictions on certain manufacturers of surveillance equipment due to concerns related to national security. This impacts both public and private sector organizations, especially those working with government contracts, critical infrastructure, education, and healthcare.

Even if your facility is not federally funded, provincial or regional regulations may follow similar guidelines—restricting the installation or continued use of certain equipment. In some cases, non-compliant products may no longer receive firmware updates or vendor support, introducing cyber vulnerabilities into your environment.

What You Can Do Now

If your cameras have been affected, here’s what you can do:

Start with a comprehensive audit of your current video surveillance system to identify any non-compliant or unsupported cameras and assesses any associated risks to your infrastructure.
