Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India – October 2026 – As businesses prepare for India’s Digital Personal Data Protection (DPDP) requirements, Adiance highlights the importance of building privacy and security into AI-enabled CCTV infrastructure.

CCTV footage can contain identifiable individuals and may constitute personal data. For organisations using surveillance systems, DPDP compliance involves more than installing cameras. Businesses need to consider how video is collected, processed, stored, accessed, retained and protected.

AI CCTV increases the importance of data security because video analytics can generate structured information such as face matches, vehicle recognition, people counts, event tags and searchable surveillance data. Access controls, encryption, audit logs and appropriate retention policies are therefore important parts of a secure surveillance architecture.

Adiance recommends that businesses review their CCTV infrastructure before the applicable DPDP obligations take effect. Key steps include mapping cameras, checking applicable BIS-ER and STQC certifications, defining surveillance purposes, displaying clear notices, setting retention periods, restricting access through unique accounts and role-based permissions, maintaining audit logs, protecting video through appropriate security controls and preparing a data breach response process.

Adiance and ArcisAI cameras incorporate security measures including secure boot, signed firmware, encrypted video streams and device credentials. ArcisAI Cloud VMS provides role-based access and audit logging, while Adiance states that its Cloud VMS is STQC certified and its management processes are supported by ISO 27001:2022 certification.

Adiance provides CCTV hardware, Cloud VMS and AI surveillance technology designed and manufactured in India, helping businesses build more secure and connected surveillance infrastructure.
