Federal agencies and companies that hold federal contracts must follow Section 889. Many state agencies, school districts, healthcare groups and businesses that sell to government have adopted the same requirement, and some insurers and landlords ask for it.
If you are not sure whether it applies to you, ask your compliance team or the agency you contract with. This page is general information, not legal advice.
How to choose
- Pick cameras whose manufacturer, chips and firmware are documented as compliant, and keep that documentation with your records.
- Use a compliant recorder too: a Silarius NVR, or no recorder at all with Silarius X cameras on Silarius Cloud.
- Plan the system in one place: the System Builder picks cameras, the recorder, drives and PoE switches for your site.
