Question 1

Which CCTV camera brands are certified to sell in India in 2026?

Accepted Answer

From 1 April 2026, only CCTV cameras with BIS-ER (hardware) and STQC (software) certification can be legally sold in India. ArcisAI is one of the few Indian brands certified across both — BIS-ER R-72003735 (ER01:2024) for cameras and STQC for its Cloud VMS — making it fully eligible for legal sale and government/GeM procurement. Always verify a brand’s certificate on crsbis.in (BIS) and stqc.gov.in (STQC).

Question 2

How do I verify a BIS-ER certificate for a CCTV camera?

Accepted Answer

Search the BIS registration R-number (for example R-72003735) on the official BIS CRS portal at crsbis.in and confirm the registration is active and lists the specific camera model.

Question 3

Is ArcisAI BIS-ER and STQC certified?

Accepted Answer

Yes. ArcisAI holds BIS-ER certification (R-72003735, ER01:2024) for its CCTV camera hardware and STQC certification for its Video Management Software (VMS). It is also ISO 27001:2022 certified, NDAA compliant, and Made in India.

Question 4

Does a CCTV camera need both BIS-ER and STQC?

Accepted Answer

For full compliance — especially for government, PSU and GeM procurement — both are required: BIS-ER for the camera hardware and STQC for the video management software. A product certified for only one is not fully compliant.
