Find out what an auditor would find. First.
Since 1 April 2026, cameras without STQC certification can't legally be sold or installed in India. Most systems running today predate the rule. Add unsegregated networks, default passwords still in place, and retention settings nobody ever wrote down — and "we have CCTV" starts meaning less than it should.
What the audit covers
- Hardware compliance: every camera model checked against the STQC/BIS certified list; banned or uncertified equipment flagged.
- Coverage: blind spots mapped against how your facility actually operates.
- Network: whether camera traffic is segregated, how the recorder is exposed, and what a hostile person on your network could reach.
- Footage governance: retention settings, access control, and what the DPDP Act expects of footage that identifies people.
What you receive
A written gap report — typically 4–6 pages — with findings ranked by risk, a costed recommendation for each, and the compliance references your management or client auditor will want to see. It's yours regardless of whether we do the upgrade work.
Who this is for
Warehouses facing client audits. Factories with export customers. Offices whose parent companies ask awkward procurement questions. And any business that installed its cameras before April 2026 and hasn't looked at them since.
Frequently asked questions
How long does an audit take?
A half-day walk for most facilities under 100,000 sq ft; the written report follows within 3 working days.
Will you tell us to replace everything?
Only if everything deserves it, which is rare. Most reports mark the majority of hardware "retain" or "reposition".
