Zhejiang Dahua Technology Co., Ltd. — 31 prefixes (MA-L)
Summary
- // what this is
- Zhejiang Dahua Technology is registered to MAC prefix
74:C9:29and 30 more in the IEEE OUI database. When a device's MAC address begins with74:C9:29, that block was registered by Zhejiang Dahua Technology — the OUI identifies the maker of the network hardware, which is not always the brand on the device. - // analyst note
- A Dahua OUI on a globally-administered address = genuine Dahua hardware; any asset surfacing one warrants elevated scrutiny given active-exploitation CVEs and U.S. federal / critical-infrastructure restrictions. Do not display the third-party 2011 date as an IEEE registration date.
About this vendor.
Dahua is one of the world's two largest video-surveillance manufacturers, and its hardware footprint is reflected in 31 MA-L blocks registered to "Zhejiang Dahua Technology Co., Ltd." in the cached IEEE registry. The registry address is No. 1199 Bin'An Road (rendered variously as Waterfront Road / BinAn Road), Binjiang District, Hangzhou, Zhejiang, CN 310053; a newer variant on a handful of blocks (407A:A4, F8:CE:07, 4C:99:E8, 30:DD:AA) points to Building 1, No. 1399 Binxing Road, Changhe Street, Binjiang District. These prefixes appear across the full Dahua catalogue — IP and PTZ network cameras, thermal cameras, HDCVI cameras, DVRs/NVRs, video intercoms and doorbells, access-control and facial-recognition terminals, alarm systems, and intelligent-traffic cameras — which is why a single consolidated vendor entry is far more useful than minting dozens of near-identical per-prefix pages. The operationally critical context for any Dahua OUI work is regulatory and security risk, not registration mechanics. Dahua is named in NDAA Section 889 (banning federal purchase/use for public-safety, government, critical-infrastructure, and national-security purposes), was placed under an FCC equipment-authorization ban in November 2022, and appears on the U.S. Department of Defense Section 1260H list of "Chinese military companies." CISA has issued multiple ICS advisories for Dahua products, including CVE-2021-33044 and CVE-2021-33045 (CVSS 9.8, authentication bypass via crafted packets) — both added to CISA's Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog on evidence of active exploitation — plus ICSA-22-193-01 (facial-recognition terminal) and the earlier ICSA-17-124-02. The practical takeaway: a Dahua OUI reliably identifies genuine Dahua hardware for asset classification, and any network surfacing one warrants elevated scrutiny — devices may be unpatched, remotely reachable without authentication, and explicitly restricted in U.S. federal and critical-infrastructure contexts. One data-quality caveat: a 32nd the IEEE MA-L registry row (A8:CA:87) belongs to the distinct subsidiary "ZHEJIANG DAHUA ZHILIAN CO.,LTD" at a different Hangzhou address and is deliberately excluded from this primary entity's prefix list.
- IEEE assignment

- Registry / block size
- MA-L (24-bit OUI); 31 IEEE prefixes for the primary entity. NOTE: IEEE's public OUI data publishes NO assignment/registration date (the IEEE MA-L registry columns are only Registry, Assignment, Organization Name, Organization Address); any "date registered" on third-party tools is a database artifact, not an IEEE fact.[Confirmed] — IEEE MA-L: https://standards-oui.ieee.org/oui/oui.csv

- Third-party prefix count
- third-party MAC lookups (maclookup.app, mac-address.alldatafeeds.com) report ~27 MA-L blocks — lower than the 31 in the cached IEEE CSV, a typical third-party-snapshot lag. The first-party registry count of 31 is authoritative. [Likely] — https://maclookup.app/vendors/zhejiang-dahua-technology-co-ltd , https://mac-address.alldatafeeds.com/statistics/company/15161
- MA-M / MA-S registrations
- none. the IEEE MA-M registry (28-bit) and the IEEE MA-S registry (36-bit) contain no entries for Zhejiang Dahua Technology Co., Ltd. (Two the IEEE MA-M registry rows match "dahua" but are unrelated entities: 40:2C:76:1 = Shanghai Dahua Scale Factory; 4C:EA:41:C = hogotech.)[Confirmed] — IEEE MA-M / MA-S (cached): https://standards-oui.ieee.org/oui28/mam.csv , https://standards-oui.ieee.org/oui36/oui36.csv

- Analyst note
- A Dahua OUI on a globally-administered address identifies genuine Dahua hardware; any asset surfacing one warrants elevated scrutiny given active-exploitation CVEs and U.S. federal / critical-infrastructure restrictions. Do not surface the third-party 2011 "date registered" as an IEEE registration date.
