@adityakalraIndia has banned the sale of internet-connected CCTV cameras that lack testing clearance. But hundreds of unlicensed CCTVs, including Hikvision and Dahua models, are listed on Amazon and Flipkart in India, Reuters found. Following questions from us, the e-commerce firms have launched a review. Over 700 internet cameras lacked BIS certification, mandatory since April. Unapproved online sales are a "serious concern," former cybersecurity chief Gulshan Rai said. Dahua's Imou even has a dedicated page on Amazon. Since Tuesday, at least a dozen listings have been removed from the e-commerce platforms, including at least two models from Hikvision's EZVIZ brand, which Amazon now shows as "currently unavailable". Other listings included Maizic Smarthomes, which describes itself as India's best-selling AI security brand. None of its 138 "wifi camera" offerings on Amazon, including some slotted inside bulbs, had an Indian approval, the standards bureau's website showed. https://www.reuters.com/world/amazon-walmarts-flipkart-launch-review-unlicensed-security-camera-listings-india-2026-10-01/ With @MunsifV, edits @kate_mayberry
