WHAT WE DO NOT BUY

Honest limits.

We are upfront about what falls outside our buyback. Knowing this in advance saves everyone time.

  • Hikvision, Dahua, and rebranded equipment (Honeywell HD-series, EZVIZ, Annke, Lorex with covered chipsets). We assist with documented disposal through R2 partners, but cannot resell under NDAA Section 889.
  • Analog CCTV cameras unless part of a large lot purchase
  • Equipment from sanctioned entities or counterfeit units
  • Credentials and cards with active enrollments (must be wiped first)

HOW IT WORKS

From inventory list to payment.

  1. 01

    Tell us what you have

    Submit the form below. Upload an inventory list, share photos, or just describe what you have. Single items and full facility decommissions both welcome.

  2. 02

    We review and quote

    Our team reviews the equipment against current market comps. Most quotes come back within 48 hours. We will tell you what we can buy, what we cannot, and why.

  3. 03

    We confirm logistics

    Once you accept the quote, we coordinate pickup, packaging, and data sanitization if applicable. We work with your facilities and IT teams directly.

  4. 04

    We take it in

    Equipment moves through documented chain of custody from your dock to ours. Serial numbers are reconciled at pickup and again at intake.

  5. 05

    You get paid

    Payment terms are Net 7 on standard deals, Net 30 by arrangement. Certificates of Destruction and Recycling are issued when applicable.

For this category

  • NDAA Section 889 compliance is checked before resale. Banned-entity equipment is routed to certified destruction, not resale, with documentation issued.
  • Cameras and NVRs are factory-reset before resale; any recorded video is wiped per NIST 800-88.
  • Access control credentials must be wiped of cardholder data before pickup. We help coordinate this with your security team.
  • For VMS hardware, software licenses must be released from your account before resale (Milestone Care, Genetec SMA).

COMMON QUESTIONS

Questions we hear often.

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. We are upfront about it because honesty here is the trust signal.
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 gear.
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 gear is reset and resold; banned-entity gear is documented and destroyed. A consolidated settlement and a single set of certificates is issued at the end of the project.
