Huh…I thought most of those were ALREADY banned in like 2019. Huawei was definitely previously banned, and then a bunch of others were banned a while ago too.

So far, I don’t think any of those companies are Wyze suppliers for any of Wyze’s products, so shouldn’t affect Wyze stuff directly…at least not yet. And not all of Wyze’s suppliers/partners are from China anyway, but it would suck if all Chinese trade was banned.

Did you have a specific point to offer, @Customer?

The cameras at my old shop run HIKvision software. The law applies to new installs. If they want to watch a bunch of techs working on cars, go for it. The only downside is if the camera software could open a back door to the router. From there, anything is possible.

Nope, @Newshound I didn’t, other than bringing it to the group’s attention, partly since Dahua is often seen as a more serious next step up in security cameras, above consumer class Wyze WiFi gear.
