Shenzhen Qihu Intelligent Technology Company Limited — 5 prefixes (MA-L)
Summary
- // what this is
- Shenzhen Qihu Intelligent Technology is registered to MAC prefix
B8:80:35and 4 more in the IEEE OUI database. When a device's MAC address begins withB8:80:35, that block was registered by Shenzhen Qihu Intelligent Technology — the OUI identifies the maker of the network hardware, which is not always the brand on the device. - // analyst note
- 5-block MA-L registrant with corroborating FCC device filings and independent product reviews — real manufacturer, not a shell. Device class (home/vehicle cameras) plus the parent conglomerate's privacy and sanctions record warrant elevated scrutiny for any deployment context, though that record is not confirmed to be specific to this entity.
About this vendor.
A MAC address beginning with B8:80:35, C8:5B:A0, 5C:27:D4, 1C:68:7E, or B0:59:47 belongs to Shenzhen Qihu Intelligent Technology Company Limited, a Shenzhen-based hardware maker typically found on consumer IP cameras, dash cams, and car camcorders sold under the "360" brand name.
The company holds five distinct MA-L blocks in the IEEE OUI registry, registered to an address in the Qianhai Shenzhen-Hong Kong Modern Service Industry Cooperation Zone, Shenzhen, Guangdong. Five separate prefix assignments rule out a bare single-OUI shell registration — this is a manufacturer with multiple production runs, not a one-off filing.
FCC equipment-authorization records under Grantee Code 2AGGX corroborate specific shipped products: the 360 Home Camera (filed Dec 2015), the Voyant 360 Dash Cam (filed May 2016), and the 360 Car Camcorder (filed Nov 2017). Independent consumer-tech review sites separately covered the related 360 Smart Camera line, confirming these are real retail devices rather than filings with no market footprint.
The "360" product naming strongly suggests a tie to Qihoo 360's smart-home/IoT hardware push, though no source formally confirms a legal parent-subsidiary relationship — only consistent brand and product-name overlap plus a reported 2015 Qihoo 360 / Huayuan Group smart-home partnership announcement.
Because this vendor's device class is home and vehicle surveillance cameras, the parent company's security record is worth flagging: Qihoo 360 shut its own camera-livestreaming platform in Dec 2017 over privacy violations, and independent researchers found covert surveillance functions in other Qihoo-linked connected-hardware (children's smartwatches). Qihoo 360 the conglomerate also sits on the US Commerce Dept Entity List (2020) and a 2022 Pentagon list of China-military-linked firms. These findings are Confirmed at the Qihoo 360 corporate level but only Likely to extend to this specific camera-manufacturing OUI entity.

- Security context (parent-conglomerate level)
- Qihoo 360 shut its Shuidi Zhibo camera-livestreaming platform in Dec 2017 over privacy/portrait-rights violations; sits on the US Commerce Dept Entity List (2020, Xinjiang surveillance ties) and a 2022 DoD list of China-military-linked firms; a 2025 congressional report ties Qihoo 360 to a state vulnerability-disclosure pipeline [Confirmed re: Qihoo 360 corporate level; Likely as applied to this specific camera-manufacturing OUI entity] — https://www.scmp.com/tech/china-tech/article/2125076/qihoo-360-shuts-down-live-streaming-video-platform-over-privacy, https://technode.com/2017/12/20/shuidi-shutdown-qihoo-360/, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qihoo_360, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Criticism_of_Qihoo_360
- Covert-function precedent
- independent researchers found covert surveillance/backdoor functions (remote snapshot/location/wiretap) in other Qihoo-linked connected consumer hardware (children's smartwatches, not this camera line itself) [Likely — different product family, same corporate family] — https://www.mnemonic.io/resources/blog/exposing-backdoor-consumer-products/
- Assigned/registration date
- Unknown — IEEE's public OUI/MA-L registry publishes no assignment or registration dates; a third-party aggregator shows a database "registered 2015-11-17 / updated 2020-06-16" timestamp, which is a scrape artifact, not an IEEE fact[Confirmed absence of IEEE date] — https://uic.io/en/mac/vendor/shenzhen_qihu_intelligent_technology_company_limited/
- Related, unrelated org (exclude)
- the IEEE MA-L registry line 36020 (78:EC:22) is "Shanghai Qihui Telecom Technology Co., LTD" — a distinct company (Qihui ≠ Qihu), excluded from this vendor's block list [Confirmed] — the IEEE MA-L registry
- Company status
- no explicit "active/inactive" statement found; FCC filings run through 2017 and third-party listings remain current [Likely active] — https://fccid.io/2AGGX
