CCTV Shortage in India? Here’s What’s Really Happening...

What is STQC Certification?

STQC stands for Standardisation Testing and Quality Certification, a program under the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY), Government of India.
The certification is designed to:

• Ensure products meet quality and safety standards
• Verify compliance with Indian security regulations
• Prevent vulnerabilities that could compromise national security

For CCTV products, STQC certification is a mandatory approval before they can be imported or sold in India.

What’s Happening with Hikvision & Dahua?

Hikvision and Dahua are globally trusted brands, and we at Smart Vision Technologies have proudly offered their solutions for years.

Here’s the truth:

• CCTV camera imports are paused.
• This is because STQC certification is pending.
• It is NOT a ban – once approved, imports can resume.

💡 Good to Know:
All their Video Door Phones (VDP), Intrusion Alarms, Fire Alarm Systems, and Interactive Panels are still available in India and are being sold as usual.

CP-Plus – STQC Certified

While some brands are completing their paperwork, CP Plus has already obtained STQC certification for its CCTV range.
