Main article: In re TRENDnet, Inc.

In September 2013, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) brought an enforcement action against TRENDnet alleging that the company marketed its SecurView IP cameras describing them as "secure", when in fact the software allowed online viewing by anyone with the camera's IP address.[3] The FTC approved a final settlement with TRENDnet in February 2014.[4] In January 2018, TRENDnet launched 4K UHD PoE surveillance cameras with covert IR LEDs.[5]
