INTRODUCTION
“Bhai, Hikvision aur Dahua cameras market me shortage hai.”
This is a common concern among Indian buyers today. STQC certification has become a key factor in the CCTV industry, and understanding it is essential before purchasing any security camera.
What is STQC Certification?
STQC, or Standardisation Testing and Quality Certification, is managed by the Ministry of Electronics & Information Technology (MeitY), Government of India. It acts as a quality and safety seal for CCTV cameras and electronics. Think of it like ISI for helmets or FSSAI for food – it ensures products are tested, reliable, and safe.
Only STQC-certified CCTV cameras can be legally imported and sold in India. These cameras are tested for reliability, durability, and cybersecurity while complying with Indian government standards. You can verify certified products on the STQC website:stqc.gov.in
Current Situation of CCTV Brands
The STQC requirement has impacted the availability of some popular brands. CP Plus has several models already STQC certified and ready for purchase. Hikvision and Dahua are currently in the approval process, which has temporarily halted the import and sale of their uncertified CCTV models, creating a shortage in the Indian market.
Why STQC Certification is Important
Using uncertified CCTV cameras can be risky. They may have cybersecurity vulnerabilities, privacy issues, or reliability problems, and they are not legally approved for import or sale in India. For offices, factories, schools, and even homes, STQC-certified cameras provide peace of mind, safety, and legal compliance.
For buyers who need immediate installation, choosing STQC-certified cameras like CP Plus ensures you get a secure and approved product. It is always recommended to wait for STQC approval before buying uncertified models from other brands.
