Where the brands differ
Axis registers one model. Only AXIS M4216-LV is on the BIS list, made by SVI (AEC) in Cambodia, per the list read 15 Oct 2026. Any other Axis model on a quote is not on the list on that date. ONVIF lists the camera under the title "AXIS M4216-LV Dome Camera", firmware 12.11.77, with an earlier listing from 13 Jan 2022.
Two registrants carry Hanwha models, and only one is in the security-ER column. D-Tech Co., Ltd. in South Korea makes the three ER models under the brand "Hanwha and device". Hanwha Vision Vietnam (Bac Ninh) holds R-41256552 with 11 models (HCB-, HCD-, HCO-, HCV-) in BIS's "Analog CCTV Camera Models" column and an empty brand column. The same Vietnam factory registers 8 IP models under the brand "ILLUSTRA IQ" (R-41273589).
Analogue entries are a different scope. A BIS circular of 1 Apr 2025 says MeitY clarified that the security ER order "is not applicable on Analog CCTV Cameras". The 11 Hanwha analogue models are therefore registered to IS 13252 (Part 1) only. They are not proof of security-ER testing.
Bosch is the largest of the four, and none of it is made in India. BIS prints 19 models from Ovar, Portugal and 27 from Chicony in Thailand. ONVIF lists these cameras under the company "IQSIGHT" by family and resolution, not by exact model string. The model decoding is on the Bosch BIS page. How Bosch compares with Honeywell's Indian-made line is in Honeywell vs Bosch CCTV in India.
i-PRO's registration expires first among the four. R-41245950 is valid to 2 Jan 2027, 79 days after 15 Oct 2026. All 16 i-PRO model strings have exact ONVIF listings from i-Pro Co., Ltd., tested between 2022 and 2024. The PANASONIC brand on the BIS list is a different registration: 2 models made by Matrix Comsec in Vadodara (R-72017680).
Vivotek makes two brands. Vivotek Inc. in Taoyuan, Taiwan, registers 17 VIVOTEK models and 2 "MARCH networks" models. The March Networks R-number runs to 17 Nov 2026, 33 days after 15 Oct 2026. Ask the seller whether a renewal has been filed. The BIS expiry list tracks these dates.
Avigilon and Pelco share one registration. BIS prints both brand names on R-41290890, made by Jabil Circuit de Mexico. The three model strings had no exact listing under the Avigilon or Pelco companies in the ONVIF database on 15 Oct 2026.
What the vendors say about NDAA
Axis and i-PRO publish US NDAA Section 889 statements on their own sites (read 15 Oct 2026). Axis says its "entire product portfolio" is "fully compliant with Section 889", and that "most products use the in-house developed ARTPEC® chips". i-PRO says it "does not use any manufacturers, system on chips (SoC) or any other components" banned under Section 889. These are the vendors' own claims about a US law. They are not Indian certification.
Which list matters for your purchase
A private factory buying for itself needs the exact IP camera model on a valid BIS R-number in the security-ER column. For the listed models, every brand line in the table passes that test as of 15 Oct 2026, per the BIS list.
A government department, a PSU, or a contractor supplying one often also asks for an STQC certificate and a Make in India local-content declaration. None of these brands has an STQC ER certificate (STQC list, 15 Oct 2026). The BIS list prints no local-content figure. The rules are explained in STQC ER vs BIS CRS vs Make in India PPO.
Choose if…
- Choose Axis if the M4216-LV fits the job. It is the only Axis model on the list, and its registration runs to August 2031.
- Choose Hanwha if one of the three XND/XNO/XNV-A8084 models fits. Check that the quote is not for an HC- analogue model.
- Choose Bosch if you want the widest premium range on the list: 46 models across bullets, domes, panoramic and PTZ families.
- Choose i-PRO if the WV-S series fits and the seller confirms the registration renewal past 2 Jan 2027.
- Either way, match the model string on the quote against BIS character for character in the certificate checker, or browse by brand in the certified CCTV finder.
What breaks in a factory
- Wrong suffix. BIS lists Bosch NBE-7704-AL and NBE-7704-ALX as separate models. A camera one letter away from the listed string is not the listed camera.
- Mixed recorders. 6 of the 88 security-ER models in the table have no ONVIF listing under their own vendor (checked 15 Oct 2026). Test one unit on your existing NVR before a bulk order.
- Replacement time. Every registrant in the table is outside India, per BIS. Agree spare stock and a replacement time in the purchase order.
- Power and heat. Fit surge protection and a UPS for the DG changeover, and check the datasheet temperature range against your hottest bay.
When to call the installer / what to ask the vendor
Ask for the BIS R-number of the exact model and the factory BIS prints for it. For any public order, ask whether an STQC certificate exists; on 15 Oct 2026 none did for these brands. For i-PRO and March Networks, ask for proof of renewal before the expiry date. Which big names are not on the lists at all is shown in brands missing from India's certification lists.
