Other STQC-Certified CCTV Brands: Honeywell, Vicon and EQUUS Models, Certificate Numbers and Expiry Dates

Besides CP Plus, Prama, Matrix and Sparsh, STQC's network-camera ER list holds four certificates for three other brands: Honeywell (ER/078 and ER/079, 9 models), Vicon (0324/013, 3 models) and EQUUS (ER/123, 2 models). That is 14 camera models in all. The earliest expiry is Vicon's, on 7 May 2028, and STQC no longer updates this list.

Verified against

• STQC, IoTSCS Certified Product list as per the Essential Requirements (ERs). The page has 53 certificate rows. Applicant column counts: Prama 27 (written two ways), Aditya Infotech (CP Plus) 10, Matrix Comsec 7, Samriddhi Automation (Sparsh) 5, Honeywell International India 2, Vicon Security Tech 1 and EQUUS Digital Solution 1.
• The four certificate PDFs linked in the table below. They were downloaded on 7 Oct 2026 and again on 13 Oct 2026; MD5 hashes unchanged. The PDFs are scans with no text layer. Models were transcribed visually and checked across the cover page and the annexure, which agree.
• STQC, IoTSCS scheme page (registry-status notices quoted below).
• BIS CRS, List of Registrations and models of CCTVs complying with ER for Security. Parsed on 9 Oct 2026; every R-number, validity date and model count below re-checked on 13 Oct 2026.
• STQC per-certificate web pages exist only for ER/001–ER/011 (their dates differ from the PDFs); none was found for these four certificates. We follow the printed PDFs; where a web page shows a different date, confirm with the vendor or STQC.
• Checked 13 Oct 2026.
• This page uses only what the certificates and the BIS table print.

Registry status

On the STQC scheme page, a notice cites MeitY circular No. W-18/26/2025-IPHW dated 04.02.2026. It says that STQC "will issue the test report for Security as per the Essential Requirements (ERs) under CRO". A second notice on the same page says the network-camera list "is no longer being updated and is retained solely for historical reference". So a model missing from the list is not proof of anything. For the difference between the routes, see STQC ER vs BIS CRS vs PPO.

Honeywell, Vicon and EQUUS models on STQC ER certificates

All rows come from the linked certificate PDF. The model strings are exact as printed, and dates are ISO. The description is the certificate's own nomenclature.

⚠️ ER/078 prints the two bullet models with a letter O ("HC5O…") on both the cover and the annexure, while its dome models use the digit 0. The BIS CRS table (R-91003883) lists them as HC50WB3R2 / HC50WB3R3 with the digit 0. Treat the two as the same model and keep the PDF for your file. ER/079's HC50WB5R5 suffix ("R5", not R2/R3) is also printed that way on both copies.

Printed details per certificate:

• Honeywell ER/078, ER/079: Brand Name Honeywell. Manufacturer Name is Honeywell International India Pvt. Ltd; the Manufacturing Location printed is M/s VVDN Technologies, IMT Manesar. The STQC list shows the applicant as Honeywell International India Pvt Ltd, Gurgaon, and numbers the certificates "ER/78" and "ER/79", without the leading zero.
• Vicon 0324/013: OEM and manufacturer printed as M/s Greenbase Technology Co. Ltd. (A Nexcom Group Company), New Taipei City, Taiwan; M/s Vicon Security Tech Pvt Ltd, Thane, is the Supplier (the STQC list shows it as applicant). Evaluated at ETDC Bengaluru. Its number format (0324/013/ER) differs from every other certificate in the list.
• EQUUS ER/123: Brand Name EQUUS. The applicant is M/s EQUUS Digital Solution Pvt Ltd (Kolkata) and the manufacturer is M/s VVDN Technologies. The STQC list writes the number as "STQC/IOTSCS/ER/123".

BIS CRS registrations for the same brands (counted separately)

These rows are BIS CRS registrations, not STQC certificates. They come from the "Models Complying with Security ER" column of the BIS list. The list gives R-number validity but no issue date, and it does not state the device type.

In total that is 64 Honeywell-family BIS rows (52 "Honeywell" and 12 "Impact by Honeywell"), 13 Vicon rows and 2 EQUUS rows. All six R-numbers had the status "Registered" when parsed. The same two EQUUS model strings also appear under a second VVDN R-number with the brand VYONIX (R-91021466, valid to 2027-12-07). On Honeywell, note one date gap: the BIS registration covering the nine STQC models ends on 2027-02-27, but the STQC certificates run to 2028-11-12. Search any model in the CCTV certificate checker.

Where brands differ

For comparison, the four larger brands have their own pages: CP Plus (45 models), Prama (58), Matrix (36) and Sparsh.

What breaks in a factory

• The certificate does not cover the shop floor. These ER certificates cover security requirements. They print no IP/IK rating, operating temperature or surge rating. For a furnace bay, a paint shop or an outdoor yard, get those values from the vendor's datasheet.
• Model-string mismatch on the invoice. If a PO says HC50WB3R2 and the auditor's PDF says HC5OWB3R2, expect a query. Attach both the STQC PDF and the BIS listing.
• Expiry against asset life. Factory cameras often stay in service longer than three years. These certificates lapse between May and November 2028. Record the "valid to" date in your asset register, as you would a calibration date.
• The camera is certified, but not the whole system. The STQC rows here are cameras only. The NVR, PoE switch and any VLAN between them need their own checks.

When to call the installer / what to ask the vendor

Ask for the following:

1. The STQC certificate PDF number or the BIS R-number that covers the exact suffix being supplied.
2. The datasheet values the certificate omits, such as the IP rating, temperature range, ONVIF profile and RTSP path.
3. The firmware version shipped, and whether it matches the certified build.
4. For Honeywell, which registration covers the unit after 27 Feb 2027.

FAQ

Is Honeywell CCTV STQC certified? Nine Honeywell camera models are on STQC ER certificates ER/078 and ER/079: 3MP and 5MP bullets and domes, valid to 12 Nov 2028. Other Honeywell models appear only in the BIS CRS list.

Which CCTV brands are STQC certified in India? On STQC's frozen ER list for network cameras, there are seven brands: Prama, CP Plus, Matrix, Sparsh, Honeywell, Vicon and EQUUS. Newer approvals go through STQC test reports under CRO and through BIS CRS, so check both.

What is the difference between STQC and BIS certification for CCTV? An STQC ER certificate is a security-evaluation certificate issued by STQC. A BIS CRS registration is an R-number in BIS's Compulsory Registration Scheme. The same model can hold both: all 14 models on this page are also in the BIS ER column, counting Honeywell's two letter-O strings as the digit-0 models BIS lists.
