State Attorneys General

Nebraska Attorney General Mike Hilgers is filing a 33‑page consumer‑protection lawsuit in state court against Resideo, alleging the smart‑home tech firm misled customers by marketing security cameras made by Chinese manufacturers Hikvision and Dahua as secure while failing to disclose known cybersecurity and national‑security risks. The suit notes that Hikvision and Dahua appear on U.S. government restriction lists under the National Defense Authorization Act and the FCC, and seeks fines, refunds, and court‑ordered warnings and advertising changes for cameras sold nationwide through Resideo’s ADI distribution network. Security advocates say the case highlights a broader problem of U.S. companies rebranding restricted Chinese surveillance technology to circumvent federal bans.
