Even if you have never set foot in China, Hikvision’s cameras have likely seen you. By 2017, Hikvision had captured 12 percent of the North American market. Its cameras watched over apartment buildings in New York City, public recreation centers in Philadelphia, and hotels in Los Angeles. Police departments used them to monitor streets in Memphis, Tennessee, and in Lawrence, Massachusetts. London and more than half of Britain’s 20 next-largest cities have deployed them.

The goal should be disentanglement with Cimmunists.
But we know the Left doesn’t consider Communist China their enemy.
Their fellow Americans are their enemy.
They are stealing military personnel records and who knows what else.
… darn typos!
It was during Obama’s presidency that ALL the OPM and DoD records were hacked. The only thing of mine not compromised were my fingerprints.
It was also then, that Capitol One’s records were hacked, and a bit later, the records of the VA and Yahoo.
Blue cross blue shield records were also hacked. Probably all states were hacked in the last election by china if not other countries.
“But we know the Left doesn’t consider Communist China their enemy.”
Most multinational corporation executives don’t consider Communist China their enemy. From what I’ve observed most Republican politicians in Congress don’t either. I would say the number of Republicans in the House and Senate who truly are concerned about China are less than 20%. The remainder are on the gravy train and during election years throw the voter base a bone by expressing “concern” about China.
Follow the money.
“ They are stealing military personnel records and who knows what else.”
What else ? Try latest military hardware (via Afghanistan).
I highlighted the Left because the supposedly are the most concerned with civil liberties, just ask them and they’ll say it’s so.
Of course they’re soooo concerned that the show trials here are already inevitable. At least for those too well known to simply disappear.
The Atlantic engaging in fear mongering.
People need to make data informed decisions and assess risk. I use Apple Homekit as an IOT framework and am careful of what devices I connect. The use of a good firewall is highly recommended.
They did not have to steal some secrets as they were sold to them by previous administrations. Sierra Vista was bought out by china just out of the military base. Many military facilities are surrounded by Chinese property. La port is owned by china so no wonder the container ships are not sent to American ports that are operating at half capacity.
Hi Nully.
To Xi and the CCP:. Go and reproduce asexually.

US is already watching.
“Traffic monitoring” cameras are just pretext for monitoring you.
There's a company 'in the City of Industry, California', 'started by three Millennials from the Midwest.' that is little more than a rebranded front for Hikvision’s cameras, door bells, locks and automatic lights.
You can bet that there are similar front companies sprouting like toadstools after a summer deluge.
Caveat emptor, but a google search will show whatever results their Chinese masters tell them to.
Sure did/
The tone of the article was on of fear. At least that's the way I read it.
I use Eve HomeKit products. No requirement to setup an account with them, no requirement to use their cloud services, etc.
Hikvision has a poor reputation for their products.
Good!
Yes, that is the tone. Fear porn sells.
But there are underlying truths that we need to be aware of and pitfalls to avoid.
You make no sense.
Can you elaborate or are you making a general observation?
You use a product that presumably doesn’t send data to ChiComs.
That doesn’t mean large numbers of other systems don’t send data to ChiComs.
