Lorex Still Selling Dahua, Import Records Show
Lorex may be under new Taiwan ownership, but that has not stopped it from selling relabeled Dahua. In fact, the company's imports from Dahua have increased significantly, per import records.
These products are still NDAA banned as the prohibition covers anything "produced" by Dahua, irrespective of who owns Lorex - something that Lorex admits to in tiny print.
This report examines Lorex's large ongoing Dahua shipments and relabeling, why it is likely to continue, and why these cameras are not NDAA compliant.
