Consistent wins BIS-ER nod for 'Made in Bharat' CCTV

Mon, 2nd Mar 2026

Consistent Infosystems has received BIS-ER certification for its range of 4G and Wi‑Fi CCTV cameras, bringing the devices under India's product safety and regulatory framework.

The certification was issued after testing at an STQC-accredited laboratory. BIS-ER sits under the Bureau of Indian Standards and is used across electronics categories to demonstrate compliance with safety and quality requirements.

The approval covers connected cameras sold into residential and business settings in India. Consistent positions the certified range as part of a broader push in surveillance hardware alongside its other IT products.

Camera range

The certified cameras connect over 4G and Wi‑Fi and link to the company's CEYE app (Consistent Eye). The app offers live viewing, recorded playback, and motion alerts on smartphones.

The line also includes YouTube live streaming, enabling users to broadcast a feed in real time, based on the company's description.

Consistent also highlighted data localisation, saying the CEYE app uses India-based servers for cloud storage to align with data security and privacy requirements.

Data positioning

Consistent framed the certification as part of a "Made in Bharat" stance that combines local manufacturing claims with local data handling. It also described BIS-ER approval as a marker of regulatory compliance for customers evaluating surveillance equipment.

The Indian CCTV market has expanded in recent years as small businesses and homeowners adopt app-connected cameras. At the same time, India has tightened rules across electronics supply chains and imports, making certification and lab testing a more visible part of purchasing and procurement decisions.

Vendors have increasingly paired hardware announcements with statements about storage location and privacy. Cloud recording remains a key differentiator, but it also raises questions about where footage is stored and which jurisdiction governs access and retention.

Consistent said the certification supports demand for "secure and reliable monitoring systems" across residential, commercial, and enterprise settings. It did not disclose how many models are included in the certified range or whether the approval covers future variants.

One focus is integrating cameras and app features into a single ecosystem. Many smaller installations rely on mobile-first viewing and alerts rather than dedicated on-site recorders, particularly in homes and small offices where installation budgets remain tight.

"Both our surveillance products and the CEYE App are proudly 'Made in Bharat,' reflecting our commitment to national self-reliance and superior data protection," said Yogesh Agrawal, CMD and co-founder of Consistent Infosystems. "Achieving BIS-ER Certification through an STQC-accredited lab reflects our focus on quality and customer assurance as we address the growing security needs of Indian homes and businesses."

Business footprint

Consistent sells products across IT hardware, networking, surveillance, print consumables, electronics, and gaming. It says it has expanded across India through branches and service centres, supported by an established base of channel partners.

In surveillance, the company has previously highlighted third-party recognition through industry awards. It has also promoted the "Surveillance That Never Sleeps" tagline in marketing for its camera products.

Consistent did not provide financial details related to the certification or outline any changes in pricing or distribution for the approved models. It also did not indicate whether BIS-ER certification will become standard across additional surveillance lines.

For channel partners and system integrators, formal certification can affect procurement eligibility and tender participation, particularly where buyers require evidence of standards compliance. The broader market continues to balance feature competition, price pressure, and regulatory requirements as connected cameras become more common in Indian homes and workplaces.

Consistent said it plans to build on the certification as it expands its surveillance portfolio for the Indian market.
