Dahua Petitions FCC With Confidential Compliance Plan
Dahua has sent a compliance plan to the FCC but requested it remains secret for at least 7 years by claiming "sensitive business information".
Dahua also made a number of claims in its request which raise concerns.
In this post, IPVM examines this news, its impact and IPVM's letter to the FCC asking the plan to be made public.
