Queensland buses sign contract with government-blacklisted Chinese CCTV company

Buses in Queensland will soon use Chinese-made security cameras which were previously blacklisted from public buildings. Chinese company Hik-vision will provide CCTV for 200 rail replacement buses. The company's products have been removed from Australian government buildings over national security concerns. Security analysts say the move could give the Chinese government direct access to the cameras. Government infrastructure in Europe as well as the UK and the US have also taken down Hik-vision cameras over security concerns.
