FIRST ON FOX:<\/strong> Nebraska Attorney General Mike Hilgers will file a lawsuit Tuesday against home security camera maker Lorex, alleging the company misled consumers about the safety and privacy of its devices, Fox News Digital has learned.<\/p>\n

Few people know the name Lorex, but its cameras, sold at retailers like Costco and Best Buy, are quietly monitoring homes across the U.S.<\/p>\n

NATIONAL SECURITY EXPERTS RAISE CONCERNS AFTER MICROSOFT EXPOSED AS POSSIBLE AVENUE FOR CHINESE SPYING<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

The 39-page lawsuit, filed in Nebraska state court, claims the company marketed its cameras as “private by design” and safe for places like children\u2019s bedrooms, while concealing that the devices rely on a Chinese firm sanctioned by the U.S. over national security and human rights violations.\u00a0<\/p>\n

According to Hilgers, Lorex devices depend on technology from Zhejiang Dahua Technology Co., a Chinese surveillance firm legally bound to assist Beijing\u2019s sweeping intelligence apparatus.<\/p>\n

“The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) poses a direct threat to American security, including through market actors who create or exploit security to American consumers,” Hilgers told Fox News Digital. “This is a national issue, and we are leading the fight in Nebraska against these companies who enable the CCP influence and surveillance,” he added.<\/p>\n

CHINA IS EXPLOITING OUR GOVERNMENT’S TECH WEAKNESS. WE NEED A RAPID REBOOT<\/u><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

The complaint notes that the Lorex 2K Dual Lens Indoor camera, sold by major U.S. retailers such as Costco, Best Buy, Kohl\u2019s, and Home Depot, closely mirrors Dahua\u2019s “H5D-5F” and “H3D-3F” models.<\/p>\n

Hilgers said Lorex markets its surveillance products for use in highly private areas, including children\u2019s bedrooms, without warning families of potential security risks. “This marketing is deceptive, as Nebraskans are not warned about security risks,” he said. “When it comes to products that may be used to monitor children and inside Nebraska homes, this deception is both alarming and unacceptable.”<\/p>\n

Hilgers isn\u2019t alone in sounding the alarm. Others in the security space say Lorex\u2019s products represent a broader national threat.<\/p>\n

Michael Lucci, CEO of State Armor, has been the leading voice pushing states to act. “Lorex products shouldn\u2019t just say \u2018Made in China,\u2019 they should say \u2018Watching from China,\u2019” Lucci said in a statement to Fox News Digital.<\/p>\n

CHINA TARGETS US MILITARY MEMBERS IN OVERSEAS SPY OPERATIONS, FORMER CIA CHIEF WARNS<\/u><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

He continued, “By hiding its reliance on a CCP-controlled company sanctioned for human rights abuses and national security risks, Lorex is lying to American families.”<\/p>\n

“Marketing these cameras as \u2018private by design\u2019 while all the data is back-doored by Beijing is not just false advertising, it\u2019s a direct threat to individual privacy and American national security,” he added.<\/p>\n

Lawmakers from both parties have long raised concerns that the Chinese government<\/a> exploits educational exchanges, research partnerships, and business investments in the U.S. as cover for espionage activities. These warnings have intensified in recent years amid growing scrutiny of Beijing\u2019s influence operations on U.S. soil.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
