Ban on Hikvision, Dahua and TP-Link CCTVs

[ghostiin]

TP-Link as Well? Are They Also Banning their Router and other network products as well?

If that's for the National Security, then how can I oppose? BUT, to be honest, products from "cp plus" are way more unreliable than something from the TP Link TAPO or HiK Vision cams. And the Feature they give in the Price Range is also Excellent.

More Over the Indian Brands, Even Though they write on their website and Packaging "PROUDLY MADE IN INDIA", most of the internal components, like PCB, WiFi chipset, if not all, do come from China. And these so-called Indian-made products could have severe vulnerabilities.


Before banning, I think the government should first check the domestic manufacturer that will fill the Gap.

It also feels to me like India is following/copying U s a like someday before FCC banned specific set of devices and here we got onto the bandwagon, I wish this not but routers may get targeted eventually.

Why is India banning Hikvision, Dahua, TP-Link CCTV cameras from today? All you need to know

India has enforced new STQC certification rules for CCTV cameras, effectively blocking devices from Chinese companies such as Hikvision, Dahua Technology and TP-Link without approval.

all our info is over the internet. what are we trying to solve with this. NOTHING

Hmm, so social media apps like instagram, whatsapp and facebook are looking the other way when we open our phone cameras? Just treat them like you do drones and limit their installation in sensitive areas.

Indian manufacturers use cheap material which is bought from china lol. No point of this so called BAN. Ban these manufacturers first
