Hikvision Cameras and Recent Government Directive
June 29, 2025
At Thorn Security Ltd. the safety, security, and trust of our clients and partners remain our highest priority.
In light of the recent Government of Canada directive regarding Hikvision — specifically the order for the company to cease operations in Canada due to national security concerns — we want to address any potential concerns surrounding previously installed surveillance equipment.
Key points we would like to clarify:
- Compliance and Transparency: All Hikvision cameras installed by our company were sourced and deployed in full compliance with Canadian regulations in place at the time of purchase and installation.
- No Remote Access or Monitoring: As a matter of policy, Thorn Security does not provide or enable remote monitoring through foreign-based servers.
- Security Assessments and Options: We are actively reviewing the government’s findings and are preparing to assist any clients who currently use Hikvision hardware and would like an assessment, upgrade options, or removal services.
- Client Communication: Over the coming weeks, we will be reaching out to clients who may be impacted by this decision to offer personalized solutions and ensure their systems meet current and future regulatory standards.
We understand the concerns this news may raise and are committed to helping our clients navigate this transition with clarity and professionalism. If you have questions or would like a system review, please contact us directly at 250-472-6443 or Info@ThornSecurity.ca
We will continue to monitor the situation closely and uphold the highest standards in system integrity, cybersecurity, and customer service.
