Regulation
Section 889 restricts federal agencies and federal contractors from buying or using covered Hikvision and Dahua equipment. The FCC Covered List separately restricts new equipment authorizations and marketing. Neither rule automatically makes an existing privately owned system illegal, but the requirements depend on the contract, the site and the buyer.

The right replacement depends on why the system is being changed: a federal contract, a critical-infrastructure requirement, an insurance condition or a private refresh. Start with the camera roles and the recorder/VMS, verify the alternative manufacturer documents, then replace in phases so coverage and access control keep working.

It applies prospectively to new authorizations and does not automatically remove existing equipment, but it changes what a buyer should verify before a new deployment.

Camera cybersecurity starts with the same basics as any networked device: current firmware, unique credentials, a segmented network, restricted remote access and a documented update owner. The brand matters less than whether those controls are actually configured and maintained after handover.

SecureComm service and operations updates.
We write when a rule, product or support position actually changes — not on a fixed content calendar. Each update names its sources, carries a publication date and a last-reviewed date, and is revised when the underlying facts change.
Regulatory articles are general information, not legal advice. For a federal contract or a critical-infrastructure site, verify the requirement with the procurement or compliance contact.
Tell us what you need to protect and we will scope the cameras, access control or alarms that fit. We work across Denver and across Colorado.
Call the office or send a quote request with the site, the areas you need covered and any existing equipment you want to keep.
