A Chinese smart home device maker whose cameras have raised security and privacy concerns will be fined nearly $735,000 for allegedly making a false statement under a U.S. regulator’s proposal.
Eken, a Hong Kong-based company, has been selling doorbell cameras to the United States through major online platforms, but it failed to register a legitimate U.S. agent, violating the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) rules that require international companies to do so, the agency said in a press release on Nov. 21.
