Chinese surveillance cameras raise concerns in Canada

An investigation by TVA’s investigative bureau shockingly reveals that cameras manufactured by Hikvision, a Chinese company considered by many countries to be a threat to national security (including the U.S.), were widely installed throughout Quebec, in Canada.

They can be found in school service centers, universities, health and social service centers, and numerous municipal and provincial government establishments. In all, over fifty Quebec cities are equipped with these surveillance cameras, according to TVA.

What is worrysome is the possibility that these devices won’t be used for simple surveillance for security purposes, but rather as a tool for interference or outright espionage!

Many concerns about the real intentions of Chinese company Hikvision have been raised since 2019, and the company’s surveillance cameras are now banned in the USA, Great Britain and Australia.
