India’s urban transit, including metros, city buses, and major terminals, is expanding rapidly. More passengers mean a greater need for reliable surveillance. Cameras in these systems must do more than record video; they must protect data, resist tampering, and connect to control systems in real time.
For public projects, the government of India requires certified equipment. This makes STQC compliance a must-have. Any IP camera used in urban transit has to meet the strict STQC framework to be approved.
At Regami, we design surveillance hardware and software for transport hubs. Our in-house engineering delivers IP cameras that meet STQC standards for metro and smart city projects, helping OEMs and integrators meet deadlines while staying compliant. Partner with Regami to design and deploy STQC-compliant IP camera systems, ready for real-world integration.
Why STQC Compliance Matters for Transit Surveillance
Transit areas handle tough security demands: controlling crowds, catching incidents, securing data, and responding to threats as they unfold. Simple cameras don’t cut it—systems need to be reliable, integrate with other gear, and stay locked down.
The Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) mandates STQC certification for surveillance hardware in government projects. This means cameras must have:
Locked boot processes and verified firmware
Data encryption through TLS
Defenses against physical tampering
Support for standard video management systems (VMS)
For developers, MeitY certification keeps systems running smoothly and meets project oversight needs.
Achieving STQC Compliance for a Metro Hub
A system integrator on a smart city metro project was under pressure and faced strict compliance demands. They needed dome cameras with onboard analytics, tamper safeguards, and full encryption. Rebuilding their hardware to hit regulatory standards would’ve thrown their timeline off track.
Regami supplied a modular IP camera solution that fits their current setup. With our secure firmware, edge AI capabilities, and support for ONVIF and regulatory standards, we got them certified without major rework. The cameras passed MeitY lab tests, secured approval, and were installed on schedule—proof that compliance doesn’t have to derail customization.
Custom IP Cameras Built for Compliance
Transit projects vary—buses deal with vibrations, and underground stations battle heat. Surveillance systems have to keep up while meeting regulatory demands.
Regami’s IP camera services offer complete customization while targeting STQC compliance from the outset. Our designs handle:
Different System-on-Chip (SoC) and embedded controller platforms
Sensors for HDR, low-light, or thermal imaging
Pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) or fixed camera models
Edge AI or basic video processing
Dome, bullet, or box camera formats
Each design is crafted to meet regulatory standards and work in real-world transit environments.
Engineering Compliance from the Start
Some vendors tack on security features after the fact. Regami builds STQC-compliant IP cameras from the circuit board, making compliance part of every phase, from hardware to secure firmware.
Hardware Engineering
Adjusting image pipelines using ISP frameworks
Setting up sensors and aligning optics
Incorporating SoCs and AI accelerators
Mechanical Design
IP-rated enclosures for indoor or outdoor settings
Mounts for walls, ceilings, or poles
Tough builds for high-traffic zones
Protocol & Firmware Stack
Locked boot with encrypted OTA updates
TLS 1.2/1.3 for secure data transfer
ONVIF supports VMS integration
This approach makes certification straightforward for large-scale transit projects and long-term deployment.
Pre-Built IP Camera Modules
To cut risks and speed up projects, Regami provides ready-made IP camera modules for transit use. Each includes features tied to STQC requirements:
Neurex Smart Camera: Edge analytics for crowd tracking
Innova GigE Camera: Low-latency encoding for quick data transfer
