In June 2025, the Canadian government ordered Hikvision to shut down all operations in the country.
No more sales, no more support, no more local team.
For commercial buildings, this means every Hikvision camera still installed is running without a safety net and potential backdoors into your network.
No firmware updates, no warranty, no parts, no technical support anywhere in Canada.
And here's the part worth paying attention to: Hikvision hardware has been white-labelled under other brand names for years.
The camera on your building might not say Hikvision on it, but the technology inside might be.
If you want to know what's installed in your building and whether it's affected, Spire can run a full system audit and walk you through your replacement options.
