TP-Link India receives coveted BIS-ER certification for its VIGI line of cameras
Mumbai, March 3
TP-Link India, a subsidiary of US-based TP-Link Systems Inc, on Tuesday announced a landmark update for its VIGI line of security cameras. The company said that its two key models, VIGI C340 and VIGI C440, have successfully achieved the Government of India's mandatory BIS-ER certification.
According to the company, this makes TP-Link India one of the few companies in India making security cameras that have achieved this vital certification, underlining the cutting-edge technology employed in their manufacturing and their advanced security features.
The BIS-ER certification, a stringent, process-linked certification, involves testing of not only the product, but it complete supply chain, components, software to the core. TP-Link India joins a select list with its VIGI security cameras having achieved this standard.
Both, the C340 and the C440, come with a range of high-tech features. The VIGI C340, an outdoor full-colour bullet network camera, provides clear and colourful details even in pitch darkness. It enables maximum 4MP resolutions and ensures colourful monitoring with its large-aperture lens, high-sensitivity sensor, and attached supplemental lights.
According to the company, VIGI C440 is a 4MP full-colour Turret Network Camera, with a 'Human' and 'Traffic' classification for easier detection and smart detection that actively detects abnormal activities. It also comes equipped with two-way audio to carry out conversations while watching your feed from anywhere and the industry standard H.265+ for video compression, taking up less storage space.

Finally! We need more electronics, especially security devices, to have proper Indian certification. It's about time. The features sound good, but I hope the pricing is competitive for the Indian market. "Human" and "Traffic" classification could be very useful for home security.
Good step for 'Make in India' and quality assurance. However, I just hope this certification translates to actual long-term reliability and good after-sales service. Sometimes companies get the certificate but the product support is lacking. Fingers crossed TP-Link delivers on that front too.
The full-colour night vision is a game-changer for places with frequent power cuts or poor street lighting. The H.265+ for storage is also a smart feature. Will definitely consider these when upgrading my parents' home security system in Pune.
Joining a "select list" is impressive. It shows they've invested in their Indian supply chain and manufacturing processes, not just slapped a label on an imported product. This is the kind of commitment we need from foreign companies operating here. Thumbs up! 👍
The two-way audio is a nice touch. Can imagine using it to talk to delivery personnel or even scare off stray animals at night. Hope the certification also means robust data privacy standards are in place for the camera feeds.
