The National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), enacted on August 23, 2019, includes Section 889, which prohibits the utilization of specific telecommunications and video surveillance services or equipment offered by particular companies. This law imposes significant regulations on existing and prospective video surveillance systems employed by the US government. Esentia proudly provides security camera products that comply with the NDAA, sourced from reputable leaders in the security industry such as Vivotek, UNV (Uniview), Geovision, DW (Digital Watchdog), Lilin (Merit Lilin), and CDVI. It's important to note that the NDAA ban extends beyond the listed companies to encompass other manufacturers selling prohibited video surveillance cameras or systems under a different brand name. This practice is common with original equipment manufacturers (OEM), original design manufacturers (ODM), and joint design manufacturers (JDM).
