Lorex Tiny Print Box Disclosure: NDAA Banned
While Dahua divested Lorex to a Taiwan company a year ago, the new owner is now quietly disclosing it is still NDAA-banned.
In this note, we examine the move, the risks involved, and Lorex's sales to Costco, which Congress has scrutinized. Plus, we contrast it to its supplier Dahua, petitioning the FCC with its own plan to disclose its products' banned purposes.
