NDAA Compliant Cameras

NDAA compliance is the mainstream requirement today. ACTi newest high quality IP camera product line up to 4K resolution is fully NDAA compliant.

Overview

ACTi, a Taiwan-based IP camera manufacturer, offers more than 150 NDAA compliant security cameras with system-on-chip (SoC) components from trusted suppliers in Taiwan, Japan, or the United States. Several models feature ACTi’s proprietary A1 SoC, ensuring long-term firmware support and seamless integration with ACTi VMS and analytics.

All cameras fully meet the supply-chain and cybersecurity requirements of Section 889 of the NDAA H.R. 5515 (John S. McCain National Defense Authorization Act). A downloadable NDAA compliant cameras list and product matrix on this page help integrators verify model-by-model compliance before procurement.

For government projects requiring specific origins—such as U.S.-manufactured chipsets—our team can recommend NDAA compliant security cameras with complete compliance assurance.
