Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton opened an investigation against Lorex Technology Inc. (“Lorex”) for potentially selling cameras from a system linked to the Chinese Communist Party (“CCP”).
“Texans should never have to worry that the devices protecting their homes could be tied to foreign adversaries,” said Paxton. “Any company that gives the CCP a foothold in American life will face the full force of Texas law.”
Lorex was founded in 1991. It was acquired by Dahua, a Chinese company linked to the Chinese Communist Party, in 2012. Later, it was sold to Taiwan-based Skywatch in 2022.
Yet, reports show that Dahua continues to supply key components for Lorex cameras, raising concerns given that the U.S. Department of War has designated Dahua as a “Chinese military company.”
Additionally, both the U.S. Department of Commerce and the Federal Communications Commission have placed restrictions on Dahua’s products due to national security risks. Despite this, Lorex cameras remain available for buying by Texas consumers through major retailers like Amazon and Costco.
The Office of the Attorney General will be investigating whether Lorex is deceptively selling goods known to pose national security and privacy risks while representing them as secure, safe, and appropriate for residential use.

Wow. I have noticed these kind of cameras popping up on all the traffic lights in Claremont, next to my town, this past year, and not liked it one little bit. I take the back way more now, and avoid them. But this should not be, in America, or anywhere.

I keep thinking about the spy balloons they send over the US on occasion too. What’s up with that?

If we knew who was behind that, we might have a clue why.

They want to see what you’re having for breakfast-and don’t come out of the bathroom without a robe! 🙂
