Delhi's CCTV Overhaul: Phasing Out Chinese Cameras for Security

Delhi plans to replace 1.4 lakh Chinese-made CCTV cameras with updated and secure systems as part of a security overhaul. This move aligns with government directives and addresses concerns over national security related to the use of Chinese technology.

The Delhi government is set to replace 1.4 lakh Chinese-made CCTV cameras as part of a security overhaul, according to PWD Minister Parvesh Sahib Singh.

The current count of 2.8 lakh cameras, a significant chunk of which are Chinese-made, will be phased out owing to security directives.

This initiative primarily targets Hikvision cameras, aiming to substitute them with advanced systems that ensure better data protection.
