The following Digital Watchdog cameras, encoders, network video recorders (NVRs) and digital video recorders (DVRs) which do not use or deploy critical components, nor include SoCs produced by component vendors banned by the NDAA, are compliant with GSA Schedule regulations. These products will be included in Digital Watchdog’s GSA contracts and are recommended for US government applications that are subject to the NDAA.

This article will list Digital Watchdog products that are in compliance with NDAA and TAA GSA Schedule regulations and are approved for the lawful exchange of security parts and products.

National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA)

To address a perceived cybersecurity risk, an interim final rule of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for the Fiscal Year of 2020 was made effective on January 1, 2020.

Section 889 of the NDAA states that there is a “Prohibition on certain telecommunication and video surveillance services or equipment”. This is primarily focused on companies within the regions of China such as:

Hauwei Technologies Company
ZTE Corporation
Hytera Communications Corporation
Hangzhou Hikvision Technology Company
Dahua Technology Company

The NDAA ban also extends to manufacturers in cases where video surveillance cameras and/or systems are resold under another manufacturer or vendor brand name. While this is a standard practice among original equipment manufacturer (OEM), original design manufacturer (ODM), and joint development manufacturer (JDM) relationships, DW strives to stay within compliance.

Several provisions within the NDAA have a major impact on currently existing and future US government-related video surveillance deployments. As the ability to claim NDAA compliance is dependent on the location of the manufacturer (OEM) and the chipset/internal components of the devices in question. Some examples of NDAA compliant chips are:

Intel
Ambarella
MStar

Trade Agreements Act (TAA)

“TAA” refers to the Trade Agreements Act (19 U.S.C. & 2501-2581), which is intended to foster fair and open international trade, by requiring that the U.S. Government may acquire only U.S. – made or designated country end products.

TAA requires that the U.S. Government may acquire only “U.S. – made or designated country end products. This act requires that contractors must certify that each end product meets the applicable requirements. End products are ‘those articles, materials and supplies to be acquired for public use’.” This includes items which have been manufactured or “substantially transformed” in the United States or a TAA “designated country”.
