States allege this top security-cam company has Chinese military ties — it sells baby monitors too

A home security and baby monitor provider is allegedly tied to the Chinese government.

Missouri Attorney General Catherine Hanaway said in a press release on Monday that the communist government has had its “hand on our cradles” for some time.

‘These cameras watch our babies breathe.’

Hanaway announced a lawsuit against Lorex, a major retailer of WiFi cameras for indoor and outdoor security, including baby monitor cameras. The company even sells cameras attached to lightbulb fixtures as well.

In 2018, Lorex was acquired by Dahua Technology, the same year Dahua CEO Fu Liquan was reported to be the secretary of Dahua’s Communist Party Committee. In 2019, Dahua was used by the Chinese government for its surveillance program.

Dahua eventually sold Lorex to Taiwanese company Skywatch for $72 million in 2022,
