# FCC Blocks Foreign-Chip Video Devices

On October 22, 2026, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) announced that it had prevented a dashboard camera and a wireless video transmitter containing foreign surveillance chips from being marketed or sold in the United States. For government buyers and contractors sourcing video or wireless equipment, the action highlights the importance of checking component provenance and confirming that products meet FCC market-access requirements before they are included in procurements or deployed in programs.

- Suppliers and integrators should review the chip origins of dashboard cameras, wireless video transmitters, and related equipment they offer for government use.
- Procurement teams can incorporate component-provenance checks and FCC market-access verification into supplier due diligence for video and wireless equipment.
