In April 2021, Motorola Solutions announced that IndigoVision, a Motorola Solutions-owned company, would no longer relabel Dahua cameras, citing U.S. NDAA and supply-chain concerns.

In 2021 Best Buy, Home Depot, and Lowe’s stopped selling cameras from Dahua brand Lorex due to concerns about Dahua’s complicity in surveillance and human rights violations in Xinjiang.

In November 2021, the company was named in the Secure Equipment Act as one of several entities prohibited from receiving U.S. telecommunication equipment licenses due to national security reasons.

In September 2021, Dahua acknowledged an identity authentication bypass vulnerability affecting over 30 device models that, if exploited, can allow attackers to “bypass device identity authentication by constructing malicious data packets.” In October 2021, TechCrunch reported that The Home Depot and Best Buy stopped selling Lorex-branded Dahua and Ezviz products.
