A new set of regulations controlling closed-circuit television cameras (CCTV) that can be produced or marketed in India has been announced by the Indian government. According to analysts, the new regulations will make it extremely impossible for Chinese CCTV manufacturers to oversupply the Indian market with goods that can endanger India’s security. This is due to the tight connections that a number of these businesses have with Chinese Communist Party (CCP) organisations.

As long as the Chinese enterprises can comply with the strict new regulations, this order should have a good effect on them. They haven’t been allowed to compete in the steadily expanding security camera market until now.

A list of all the keys and certificates utilised by the device ecosystem, along with a summary of all the sensitive data and its intended use, as well as the secure storage mechanism(s) in the device, must be submitted by the manufacturer.

Additionally, the device’s safeguards against hardware and software tampering must be made evident and explicitly stated.

If the vendor uses any technology to protect intellectual property, it must disclose them.

Most significantly, the vendor must provide a document outlining the circumstances in which the device would create server connections with the external world. This document must include comprehensive details regarding the security methods implemented while verifying the digital signatures of the server connections. By doing this, you can be confident the feeds from the

To prevent firmware reverse engineering, a business must also make sure that security measures are in place. Finally, the suppliers must present a business continuity/supply chain risk planning policy outlining their approach to managing supply chain interruptions.
