NDAA & Video Surveillance

NDAA & Video Surveillance

Closed-circuit television (CCTV), also known as video surveillance, is the use of video cameras to transmit a signal to a specific place, on a limited set of monitors. It differs from broadcast television in that the signal is not openly transmitted, though it may employ point-to-point (P2P), point-to-multipoint (P2MP), or mesh wired or wireless links but transmit a signal to a specific place only. Not for open to all. 

An early mechanical CCTV system was developed in June 1927 by Russian physicist Léon Theremin. Originally requested by the Soviet of Labour and Défense, the system consisted of a manually-operated scanning-transmitting camera and wireless shortwave transmitter and receiver, with a resolution of a hundred lines.
One of the first recorded application for closed circuit television system (CCTV) was back in 1942.  It was used to view the launch of V2 rockets in Germany.   In the US, commercial surveillance applications began around 1947.
The goal of this history is to help professionals newer to the industry understand the important business and technology shifts that impact the market today, including:
1950 - Colour cameras became available.
1957 – 1969: a number of companies such as General Precision Labs (GPL division), provided CCTV camera systems
1970 – 1999: Videocassette recorders (VCR) era.
2000 – 2005: DVR Era
2001 - 9/11 Impact
2006 - Infancy IP and VMS (Axis introduced the first IP cameras in 1996)
2008 – 2012: MP Cameras Go H.264, Main player are PELCO, Hanwha (Samsung), Axis, Infinova, Flir, Indigo Vision, AVTECH etc.
2009 – 2013: Cloud Hype / Bursts
2010 – 2018: Struggles for Video Analytics, WDR and Low Light Improvements
2012 – 2014: Rise and Fall of Edge Storage
2015 Smart CODECs Rise
2018 H.265 Mainstream
Storage No Longer Major Problem
Slowing of Camera Resolution Increases
HD Analog Rises 2014, Niche Now
Rise Cybersecurity 2015 - Current
2013 – 2017: Rise of The Chinese
2015 – 2017: Race to The Bottom
2018 - Now US vs China.
2019 - Rise AI and Cloud Startups
2020 - Coronavirus Impact - Elevated skin temperatures camera & globally reject China factory made product.

Day by Day increase hacking of video surveillance camera. Now cyberattacks on CCTV systems making news headlines on a weekly basis of late, there is a good deal of concern and uncertainty about how at risk these systems are, as well as why they are being attacked.

In 2014, a US ally observed a malicious actor attacking the US State Department computer systems. In response the NSA traced the attacker’s source and infiltrated their computer systems gaining access to their CCTV cameras from where they were able to observe the hackers’ comings and goings.

In October 2016, 600,000 internet connected cameras, DVR’s, routers and other IoT devices were compromised and used to for a massive Bot Net to launch what was the largest Denial of Service (DOS) attack the internet had experienced to date.

In the lead up to the 2017 US Presidential inauguration, 65% of the recording servers for the city of Washington CCTV system were infected with ransomware. How did the attack take place? Whilst unknown, it most likely occurred by the same means as other common PC hacks such as infected USB keys, malicious web sites, or phishing attacks.

May, 2018, over 60 Canon cameras in Japan were hacked with “I’m Hacked. bye2” appearing in the camera display text. How did the attack take place? Simple. IP cameras were connected to the internet and were left on default credentials. It appears that the hackers logged into the cameras and changed the on-screen display. What was the impact? Other the defacement of the camera displays and some reputational damage, there doesn’t seem to have been much impact from these attacks.

On Aug 13, 2018, The US President has signed the 2019 NDAA into law, banning the use of Dahua and HikVision (and their OEMs) for the US government, for US government-funded contracts and possibly for 'critical infrastructure' and 'national Security’ usage.
US government is effectively blacklisting Dahua and HikVision products, this will have a severe branding and consequentially purchasing impact. Many buyers will be concerned about:
What security risks those products pose for them
What problems might occur if they want to integrate with public / government systems
What future legislation at the state or local level might ban usage of such systems

On Jun 06, 2019 Hanwha Techwin is dropping Huawei Hisilicon from all of their products. Its belongs to China’s origin. Backdoor entry is open on product.

China's Wuhan Institute of Virology, the lab at the core of coronavirus. The institute is home to the China Centre for Virus Culture Collection, the largest virus bank in Asia which preserves more than 1,500 strains ( https://www.livemint.com/news/world/china-s-wuhan-institute-of-virology-the-lab-at-the-core-of-a-virus-controversy-11587266870143.html ). Result Corona has infected people in 185 countries. Its spread has left businesses around the world counting the costs. Global economy impact. Recession increase. Now people avoid to get china factory made product, electronics goods importing has stopped from china to other country. People looking for product except china. Now come to Video surveillance, access control equipment.
The ban that prohibits the purchase and installation of video surveillance equipment from Hikvision, Dahua and Hytera Communications in federal installations – passed on year 2018 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA). In conjunction with the ban’s implementation, the government has also published a Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) that outlines interim rules for how it will be applied moving forward. Like NFPA, now NDAA law accept globally.
Rules outlined in this FAR include:
·        A “solicitation provision” that requires government contractors to declare whether a bid includes covered equipment under the act;
·        Defines covered equipment to include commercial items, including commercially available off-the-shelf (COTS) items, which the rule says, “may have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities;”
·        Requires government procurement officers to modify indefinite delivery contracts to include the FAR clause for future orders;
·        Extends the ban to contracts at or below both the Micro-Purchase Threshold ($10,000) and Simplified Acquisition Threshold ($250,000), which typically gives agencies the ability to make purchases without federal acquisition rules applying.
·        Prohibits the purchase and installation of equipment from Chinese telecom giants Huawei and ZTE Corporation. This would also presumably extend to Huawei subsidiary Hisilicon, whose chips are found in many network cameras;
·        And, gives executive agency heads the ability grant a one-time waiver on a case-by-case basis for up to a two-year period.

Specifically, NDAA Section 889 creates a general prohibition on telecommunications or video surveillance equipment or services produced or provided by the following companies (and associated subsidiaries or affiliates):
·        Huawei Technologies Company; or
·        ZTE Corporation
It also prohibits equipment or services used specifically for national security purposes, such as public safety or security of government facilities, provided by the following companies (and associated subsidiaries or affiliates):
·        Hytera Communications Corporation;
·        Hangzhou Hikvision Digital Technology Company; or
·        Dahua Technology Company
While the prohibitions are initially limited to the five named companies, Section 889 authorizes the Secretary of Defense, in consultation with the Director of National Intelligence or the Director of the FBI, to extend these restrictions to additional companies based on their relationships to the Chinese Government. The prohibitions will take effect for executive-branch agencies on August 13, 2019, one year after the date of the enactment of the 2019 NDAA, and will extend to beneficiaries of any grants, loans, or subsidies from such agencies after an additional year.
The provisions of Section 889 are quite broad, and key concepts are left undefined, such as how the Secretary of Defense is to determine what constitutes an entity that is “owned or controlled by, or otherwise connected to” a covered foreign country, or how the head of an agency should determine whether a component is “substantial,” “essential,” or “critical” to the system of which it is part. The statute also fails to address the application of the prohibitions to equipment produced by U.S. manufacturers that incorporate elements supplied by the covered entities as original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) or other kinds of supplier relationships.

Section 889 contains two exceptions under which its prohibitions do not apply:
(1) It allows Executive agencies to procure services that connect to the facilities of a third party, “such as backhaul, roaming, or interconnection arrangements.” This likely means telecommunications providers are permitted to maintain common network arrangements with the covered entities.
(2) It permits covered telecommunications equipment that is unable to “route or redirect user data traffic or permit visibility into any user data or packets” it might handle, meaning a contractor may still be able to provide services to the Government so long as any covered equipment provided is unable to interact or access the data it handles.

Hikvision is one of the world’s largest video surveillance companies producing both hardware and software tools. It is central to China’s ambitions to become the world’s leading supplier of surveillance systems. Hikvision sells cameras and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) allowing security agencies to monitor railway stations, roads, etc. It is a darling of the Communist Party of China (CPC), having been heralded as a ‘national AI Champion” in 2019.
As per a 2019 report, around 42 per cent of the company is controlled by state enterprises, with China Electronics Technology HIK Group owning nearly 40 per cent. Hikvision controlled 21 per cent of the world’s CCTV market in 2017.
Hikvision exists in India under the name Prama Hikvision Indian Private Limited. As per reports, Hikvision enjoys over 35 per cent market share in India. Its 2019 annual report said it has established a local factory in India — its first overseas production base. It is 58 per cent owned by the parent Chinese company. The Indian partner is Ashish P. Dhakan, who started the collaboration in 2005. It has declared serious investment plans for India.

In 2018, it won a tender from the Delhi government to install 1.5 lakh CCTV cameras in the national capital. It is also listed as a vendor by Bharat Electronics (BEL), which works on highly sensitive and classified defence projects for the government of India. More worryingly, Hikvision has allegedly also supplied solutions to Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC), Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO), and the Special Protection Group (SPG), which is responsible for the security of the prime minister. Link https://www.indiatoday.in/mail-today/story/installation-of-1-4-lakh-chinese-cctv-cameras-by-delhi-govt-sparks-row-1696032-2020-07-02
Clearly, the security and privacy risks at play here are best left to one’s imagination.
This leaves India with a tricky situation. Admittedly such companies do create secondary economic benefits for India with the local assembly and selling units creating jobs at home. However, there is arguably a bigger price India pays in terms of handing its CCTV grid to a country that is in no mood to offer any concessions to us.

For starters, the Modi government needs to make a clear list or database of all its current installations. Second, it needs to review all installations that would be considered critical or with a national security implication, and then  seriously consider replacing them with a local alternative. If that is not feasible, the government needs to wrap such installations with third party (non-Chinese) encryption tools, which would disable any back doors that may exist. Third, India must prohibit Hikvision from participating in any ongoing or future government tenders. Fourth, the government needs to contemplate increasing local ownership and control of the Indian subsidiary. An innovative solution would be to purchase the 58 per cent stake in Hikvision — either the government could be an investor or it could be enabled by other Indian businesses or funds. Fifth, the Modi government needs to impose a legal obligation for regular audits to check for any security vulnerabilities with serious penalties for non-compliance or negligence.

Lastly, like the Chinese, India too needs to create local champions. In India, this is always the hardest part — less access to capital, poor procurement processes, etc. Most of the technology and subcomponents for Hikvision come from the United States. It is important to remind ourselves that with enough government support, India too can build local champions of technology.

Often those on the government procurement side use price as an excuse to prefer Chinese over Indian vendors. But it’s a lazy argument. Yes, Chinese vendors and their products are often cheaper, but it is because they have worked on these things for decades. Cheap is also not always better and certainly not more secure.

As India considers the next steps, it is important to not penalise and demonise the Indian entrepreneur behind the local subsidiary. They are not to blame. It shouldn’t take a border stand-off and loss of lives for such issues to be tackled head-on.

Now question how we design a CCTV project respect to product selection. Many institutional purchaser want to stop such camouflaged OEM from their procurement activities. Yeah this is very hard to say this company are not tie-up with china-based company. As we are belonging to India, Atmanirbhar Bharat (self-reliant India) is the vision of the Prime Minister of India Narendra Modi of making India a self-reliant nation. The first mention of this came in the form of the 'Atmanirbhar Bharat Abhiyan' or 'Self-Reliant India Mission' during the announcement of the coronavirus pandemic related economic package on 12 May 2020. Known china CCTV OEM are thrown out. Yes, it’s true, India don’t have much infrastructure to generate Camera manufacturing plant, it will take time at list 5 year. Within this time, we can follow BIS website to get information about selected camera / NVR model are china factory make or not. Low cost and high cost both option camera you can found. If you found that model belongs to china factory immediately change with Closest or Alternative Substitute.
Another way to design selection your camera / storage via NDAA compliance. For example, few models of Pelco, Axis, LILIN, Honeywell get NDAA compliance. Some OEM giving good effort, based on Hikvision or Dahua camera which is current compatible camera. Example:
Dahua Model: IPC-HFW8630E-ZE is Closest to Pelco model: IBP521-1R & Alternative Substitute is IBP521-1R.
Dahua Model: SD10A248V-HNI is Closest to Pelco model: P2230-ESR & Alternative Substitute is S6230-EGL1.
Hikvision Model: DS-2CD4025FWD-AP is Closest to Pelco model: IXE22 or IXE32.
Hikvision Model: DS-2CD2125FWD-I 4MM is Closest to Pelco model: IMP221-1RS Or IWP221-1ES/IJP223-1RS.
Yes PELCO is 1st OEM who get NDAA & share compatible camera with respect HikVision & dahua model number.

For SOHO industry or small medium company, do start with making video data policy, its very important, due to using Chinese owned product every country data is now with hacker. Basically, china product is low price due to no standard quality. Other country like Taiwan or Korea product not low price, due to they maintain minimum quality of product. Now time to change, due to corona virus people change lifestyle. Indian govt need to general prohibition on telecommunications or video surveillance equipment or services produced. 
Below I share some Indian factory-made product model based on Brand. BIS not necessarily certify the quality and source of components. Very important for customers to understand.

Worthy post sir

Ornias1993 said...

Anyone know this? I know a lot of manufactures are changing practices are just going outta business because of NDAA. I imagine the DOD nor DOD Contractors are using Ubiquiti cameras, but I am curious to know.

Arindam Bhadra said...

Thanks for post: i tell you post here due to it should be open for all.

UBNT Camera's are not "covered telecommunications equipment", so it complies with section 889.

" The term ‘‘covered telecommunications equipment or services’’ means any of the following: (A) Telecommunications equipment produced by Huawei Technologies Company or ZTE Corporation (or any subsidiary or affiliate of such entities).
(B) For the purpose of public safety, security of government facilities, physical security surveillance of critical infrastructure, and other national security purposes, video surveillance and telecommunications equipment produced by Hytera Communications Corporation, Hangzhou Hikvision Digital Technology Company, or Dahua Technology Company (or any subsidiary or affiliate of such entities).
(C) Telecommunications or video surveillance services provided by such entities or using such equipment.
(D) Telecommunications or video surveillance equipment or services produced or provided by an entity that the Secretary of Defense, in consultation with the Director of the National Intelligence or the Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, reasonably believes to be an entity owned or controlled by, or otherwise connected to, the government of a covered foreign country. "

Neither A, nor B, nor C nor D applies, so its section 889 compliant.

Be aware: The NDAA goes FAR BYOND just section 889, section 889 is basically a sidenote "Ohh, btw also skip huawei please"

What is the driving issue behind the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), formerly known as HR5515

Anonymous said...

hey Arindam
The named companies that are banned by the NDAA are based in China. Does the NDAA ban all video surveillance and telecommunications products and components made in China?

Arindam Bhadra said...

Cybersecurity concerns. In particular, cybersecurity of telecommunications and video surveillance products from specific companies that have deep relationships with a “covered foreign country” government, the People’s Republic of China.

Arindam Bhadra said...

No. The NDAA does not ban all products and components that are designed or manufactured in China.
As per NDAA Section 889, f – definitions, 3 – Covered Telecommunications [and Video Surveillance] Equipment or Services, items A through D calls out specifically-named companies “that the Secretary of Defense, in consultation with the Director of the National Intelligence or the Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, believes to be an entity owned or controlled by, or otherwise connected to, the government of a covered foreign country [The People’s Republic of China]”.
Hence, the NDAA does not ban products manufactured in China by companies that are headquartered and owned by entities that are not based in China.

in the final guidance issued Aug. 13 will help security companies and their customers ensure grant funds are spent in compliance with Section 889 by simply making sure equipment that would be covered by Section 889 is excluded from what is purchased with the funds.

Restated in the grant’s guidance is the law’s definition specifically for video surveillance equipment covered by the prohibition:

(i) For the purpose of public safety, security of government facilities, physical security surveillance of critical infrastructure and other national security purposes, video surveillance and telecommunications equipment produced by Hytera Communications Corporation, Hangzhou Hikvision Digital Technology Company or Dahua Technology Company (or any subsidiary or affiliate of such entities).

Taiwan manufacturers make their products in their Taiwan facilities which are known for strong quality control and assurance practices. “In terms of quality, we keep the defective rate at less than 0.3 percent. China on the other hand does the opposite; they either provide one-for-one exchanges or offer discounts of 1 to 2 percent; yet in the U.S. labor cost is high – the cost of exchanging products due to defects is pretty high,” Hsu said.

“We keep high quality and reliability as usual but provide competitive price, which makes AVTECH jump from the long global manufacturer list and get new customers’ attention,” Chen said.

It’s important to note that these companies’ supply chain is either in Taiwan or in places close to Taiwan to ensure speedy time-to-market. Further, most of them have localized support in the U.S. to deliver the necessary assistance and service when needed.

“We set up a US-based operation to provide in-house designed end-to-end IP surveillance solution so partners in North America can have the flexibility to purchase VIVOTEK branded products from there,” Liu said.

Indeed, Taiwan security companies offer a variety of NDAA-compliant products that are highly secure and highly reliable, suitable for various US segments including government. In the midst of the trade dispute, Western brands as well as US end users seeking to source from elsewhere may consider Taiwan companies, which are capable of meeting their NDAA compliance needs.

This article was a real eye-opener about the build quality of these switches WS-C2960X-48FPD-L effortlessly. Experience style, quality, and convenience.. I had no idea they were so modular inside. It got me thinking, what are some common issues that people face with ProCurve 2824 switches, and how can they troubleshoot or repair them?
