Common questions

NDAA-compliant cameras from Axis, Hanwha and Avigilon, recent NVRs, and current access-control panels and readers hold value. Hikvision and Dahua we do not buy. Send the model numbers and quantities and we quote against current resale.
We coordinate pickup and freight for lots we buy and build the cost into the offer. Multi-site pulls are consolidated to one intake.
Within three business days of the equipment arriving and being validated against the list, including confirmation that cloud-managed devices have been released from your account.
Under NDAA Section 889, federal agencies and federal contractors are prohibited from using Hikvision, Dahua, and a list of rebrands. This has created a strong secondary market headwind: reputable resellers cannot place this equipment with federal or government customers, and many enterprise buyers have adopted the same standard internally. Rather than resell into a shrinking market, we route this equipment to R2-certified destruction with documentation.
For NDAA rip-and-replace projects we coordinate the pull, intake, and documented destruction of banned equipment in parallel with the buyback of NDAA-compliant replacements you may be decommissioning. The two flows are kept on the same project timeline. Certificates of Destruction are issued for the banned equipment; standard buyback proceeds for the compliant equipment.
Cardholder data must be wiped from controllers and credentials before resale. We coordinate this with your security team: typically the data is wiped from the access control software (Lenel OnGuard, Genetec Synergis, Software House C-CURE), and we verify at intake. For credentials, we either wipe them or route them to destruction.
For Milestone XProtect, release the Software Maintenance Agreement and the license keys from your account. For Genetec, release the SMA and any Streamvault entitlements. For Avigilon, release ACC licenses. We confirm release before payment.
Both. Security integrators often have project-wrap surplus, RMA returns, and demo equipment. End-user organizations (corporate security, facilities, schools, hospitals) have refresh and decommission surplus. The buyback process is the same.
No strict minimum. Single high-value items (a Software House iSTAR Ultra, a Genetec Streamvault) are welcome. For low-cost items (basic IP cameras, readers) the math works better at lot scale: 20+ units: because pickup logistics dominate the small-lot economics.
For multi-site decommissions we coordinate freight from each site to central intake. Cameras are sorted at intake: NDAA-compliant equipment is reset and resold; banned-entity equipment is documented and destroyed. A consolidated settlement and a single set of certificates is issued at the end of the project.
