DC Integrator Says NDAA Rip and Replace is Now "Extremely Large Part" of Business
Widespread government use of PRC-made cameras has caused "rip and replace" to become the majority of a D.C. integrator's government business, said its president, while also lamenting the "constantly evolving scenario" of NDAA compliance during IPVM's March 2022 Integrator Show.
In this report, IPVM examines statements by TIC Security President Derek Radoski about the company's government-centered business, including extensive "rip and replace" work, the prevalence of PRC made cameras in government facilities, and NDAA-created ambiguity and confusion in the industry.
