STQC Certification: Elevating CCTV Standards Across India

As India advances towards stricter compliance standards in the CCTV sector, the government’s new mandate marks a major shift. 

All CCTV cameras—whether manufactured, imported, or sold—must now be certified by the Standardization Testing and Quality Certification (STQC), ensuring a secure, self-reliant, and quality-driven surveillance ecosystem.

This move aligns seamlessly with the national vision of Design in India, Make in India, and Make for the World. It not only strengthens India’s security infrastructure but also positions the country as a global leader in surveillance technology.

There are few companies who could secure STQC certification even before it became mandatory. 

With a strong commitment to data security and product excellence, CCTV companies are helping set new benchmarks for the industry.

As surveillance systems expand across public and private spaces, the volume of sensitive data captured grows exponentially. 

The government’s regulatory framework addresses critical national security concerns by mandating robust data protection and product quality standards.

Indian companies are stepping up with innovations in AI, advanced imaging, and secure cloud technologies, ensuring India builds a future-ready, self-reliant surveillance ecosystem.

Moving forward, by prioritizing security and innovation, India is setting the foundation for a resilient, homegrown surveillance landscape.
