From 1 April 2026, only CCTV cameras with valid BIS-ER (hardware) and STQC (software) certification may legally be sold in India. Use this free tool to verify any certificate directly on the official government portals before you buy.
Independent buyer's tool by ArcisAI — verifies against official BIS & STQC sources.
Certification type
Certificate / registration number
ArcisAI is one of the few Indian brands certified across BOTH hardware and software — fully eligible for legal sale and government/GeM procurement under the 2026 mandate.
1. BIS-ER (hardware): every camera model needs a BIS registration under ER01:2024. Search the R-number on crsbis.in and confirm the specific model is listed.
2. STQC (software): the VMS / recording software needs STQC security certification. Confirm on stqc.gov.in.
3. Both are required. A camera with only one of the two is not fully compliant for government / GeM / PSU procurement.
4. NDAA & origin: for sensitive/government sites, confirm NDAA compliance and that the supply chain avoids high-risk foreign components.
