In recent years, global regulatory environments have become increasingly stringent — particularly in the United States. The National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), passed annually by the U.S. Congress, defines strict procurement rules to ensure national security and restrict the use of technology from entities deemed high-risk.
Under Section 889 of the NDAA for FY2019 and reinforced in subsequent years, U.S. federal agencies and their contractors are prohibited from purchasing, using, or renewing contracts involving equipment or components originating from specific Chinese companies or suppliers. This includes surveillance equipment and image sensors embedded in camera systems.
For embedded vision system developers and OEMs, using NDAA-compliant image sensors is now essential for U.S. market access and for maintaining a secure, transparent supply chain.
Fully NDAA-Compliant. Every Sensor. Every Chip. Every Product.
At TechNexion, we ensure that every camera module we design and manufacture is NDAA-compliant. This includes strict sourcing policies that exclude any restricted or controlled components under the NDAA — especially at the sensor level.
We use image sensors from onsemi, a U.S.-based semiconductor company whose sensors are not subject to NDAA export restrictions. These sensors are widely recognized for their reliability, industrial-grade performance, and compliance with U.S. federal regulations.
All TechNexion camera modules are:
Built with NDAA-compliant image sensors (onsemi)
Free of components from banned manufacturers
Manufactured in Taiwan with strict supply chain controls
Free from ITAR or EAR export restrictions
Accompanied by documentation for regulatory or procurement audits

Why NDAA Compliance Matters
In an increasingly regulated and security-conscious world, NDAA compliance is more than just a checkbox — it is a competitive differentiator.
By choosing TechNexion cameras:
Security Assurance: Using NDAA-compliant sensors protects you and your end users from legal and cyber risks associated with unauthorized telemetry or data interception.
Global Export Flexibility: Our camera modules can be freely exported to and deployed within the U.S. and in sensitive infrastructure projects without the risk of non-compliance.
Compliance for Government and Public Sector Use: Many U.S. and international organizations — especially those in government, defense, education, and critical infrastructure — now require proof of NDAA compliance at both the component and system level.
Supply Chain Transparency: TechNexion maintains full traceability of all camera module components. This simplifies vendor qualification processes and supports long-term regulatory readiness.
