National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA)

The National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), particularly Section 889, has significant implications for the surveillance industry, especially concerning the procurement of video surveillance equipment. Section 889 prohibits U.S. federal agencies and their contractors from purchasing or using telecommunications and video surveillance equipment from certain manufacturers due to national security concerns.

As security integrators operating in the public sector and government markets, it’s critical to partner with brands that meet U.S. regulatory compliance. Illumivue is fully NDAA-approved, meaning our cameras, recorders, and associated components comply with the National Defense Authorization Act’s requirements that restrict use of certain foreign-made surveillance equipment. This gives you confidence when proposing Illumivue to municipalities, schools, and other agencies that must comply with these standards. Beyond compliance, Illumivue products deliver advanced capabilities—such as full-color night imaging (NightColor), dual-illumination modes (NightLight), intelligent analytics (line crossing, auto tracking, object counting), and plug-and-play setup—that make them a compelling solution both technically and contractually.
