Hikvision Scrutinized In The Netherlands
Hikvision is facing unprecedented scrutiny in the Netherlands, at the same time the US government ban has taken effect.
This week, a Dutch public broadcaster ran an investigation about Hikvision cameras in the Netherlands, highlighting the NDAA ban and Hikvision use in Xinjiang.
Meanwhile, Dutch politicians recently proposed a parliamentary motion asking the government to investigate the use of Hikvision and Dahua cameras.
In this post, we examine the news, Hikvision's response, and possible impact.
