Outdoor-rated network cameras from Hanwha Vision and Axis Communications, selected because each one meets the Trade Agreements Act, NDAA Section 889, and FIPS 140 requirements that public-sector buyers have to satisfy. Domes, bullets, panoramic, box, block, PTZ, thermal, and explosion-protected models, every one IP67-rated and 4 MP or better, for AI weapons detection and everyday surveillance of facilities and campuses.
A camera can have the right lens and the right price and still be unpurchasable on a public contract. These three requirements are the reason, and they apply before any spec sheet comparison starts.
The Trade Agreements Act limits federal purchases above a threshold to products made, or substantially transformed, in the United States or a designated country. GSA Schedule and most federal contract vehicles require it, and many state and cooperative contracts follow the same rule.
Section 889 of the 2019 NDAA bars federal agencies, and anyone using federal funds, from buying video surveillance equipment made by Huawei, ZTE, Hytera, Hikvision, Dahua, or their affiliates, including cameras that use their components. Many state and local rules mirror it.
FIPS 140 is the NIST standard for cryptographic modules. A camera with a FIPS 140 validated module stores its certificates and keys in certified hardware, which is what federal cybersecurity baselines and many state IT policies expect.
Vandal domes for entrances and corridors, bullets and panoramics for perimeters and parking, PTZs for operators, and specialty units for thermal and hazardous locations. Counts are compliant models across both brands.
Impact-rated domes for entrances, corridors, and exteriors where tampering is a concern.
Two or more sensors in one housing to cover intersections, corners, and lobbies.
Multi-sensor 180 or 360 degree coverage of parking lots, quads, and open areas.
Long-range outdoor coverage of perimeters, gates, and parking with built-in IR.
Interchangeable-lens cameras for housings and specialty optics.
Compact block cameras with long-range zoom for tight or elevated mounts.
Pan, tilt, and 30x class optical zoom for operators tracking activity across campus.
Dual-sensor cameras that detect at night and in weather, with a 4K visual channel.
Certified for hazardous locations such as fuel, chemical, and utility sites.

Our AI Threat Detection program, built on the ZeroEyes platform, integrates with existing security cameras. The models on these pages provide the resolution, low-light performance, and outdoor rating that gun detection at entrances, parking lots, and campus perimeters calls for.
One camera program covers the day-to-day: entrances, corridors, perimeters, parking, and operator-driven PTZ coverage, recorded to the video management system you run or one we supply.
XGen Mobile is an authorized dealer under the OMNIA Partners and Sourcewell cooperative purchasing contracts, and we quote federal, state, and municipal purchases through a national distribution partner that holds the underlying government contract vehicles. Public agencies, school districts, and universities can often buy under a contract they already participate in instead of running a separate solicitation. Details are on our Cooperative Contracts page.
Each brand page has a short form for camera types, quantities, and compliance requirements. Not sure which brand? Send us the spec and we will recommend one.
