The National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) is a crucial annual legislation passed by the United States Congress to allocate funding for the Department of Defense. In 2018, Congress enacted the John McCain NDAA Act for the fiscal year 2019. This act had significant implications, as it effectively prohibited government agencies from procuring products from major Chinese equipment manufacturers due to geopolitical concerns. The ban specifically impacted the security camera industry, as many prominent security camera manufacturers were included in the restricted list.
Fortunately, CCTV Camera World offers a range of products that comply with the restrictions set forth by the 2019 NDAA. These products provide a viable solution for organizations seeking security solutions while adhering to the enacted law.
- Who does the NDAA ban apply to?
The 2019 NDAA requires federal government employees, contractors, and subcontractors to comply with the ban and shift away from non-compliant equipment. In 2020, the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) led a revision that extended the ban’s reach to include businesses and non-profits receiving federal funding. However, home consumers and businesses without federal funding or transactions with the US federal government remain unaffected.
This Ban has implications around the world not just in the United States for example the UK government has banned chinese manufactured cameras on their sensitive sites
