![]() In 2019, the US government banned the use of Dahua, Hikvision and Montavue security cameras in federal facilities. Lorex is a brand that is owned by Dahua and Dahua products that are branded under any other name are still banned. We see no distinction between this and if Lorex were to do the same. Our understanding of the law is that if Dahua buys products from other suppliers and then brands them as Dahua, then the equipment would still be banned. Since Lorex is a retail brand for Dahua, we believe that the law applies to them as well. While we appreciate the effort on his part, we do not believe this is an accurate interpretation of the NDAA law. We were contacted by the CEO of Lorex, who wanted to explain that if they buy equipment from other suppliers (not the company that owns them) and brands the equipment as Lorex, then the equipment would not fall under the recent NDAA law or the FCC ban. The House of Rep Vote to Ban Retail Giants Pull Lorex Off the Shelves ![]() While the NDAA 2019 law banned these companies from being used in government facilities, this action now makes it illegal for them to sell new products into any US market. The FCC (Federal Communications Commission) made it official and voted unanimously to stop the sale of all future products from these companies by denying them new FCC licenses.
