FAQs
What is the number 1 CCTV camera for home use in India?
The Hikvision 4MP WDR Dome Camera is our #1 recommendation for Indian homes. It offers excellent 4MP resolution, 30m night vision, IP67 weatherproofing, and a 3-year warranty at an affordable price.
Is 2MP or 4MP better for home CCTV?
4MP is significantly better for home use. The higher resolution allows face identification at longer distances and provides more detail for digital zoom during incident review. The extra cost is minimal (₹1,000–₹1,500 per camera).
What is the best CCTV camera for a gate in India?
For gate monitoring, we recommend a 4MP bullet camera with a varifocal lens (adjustable focal length) that allows number plate reading at gate distances. The Hikvision 4MP ColorVu bullet is excellent for gate use as it shows full colour at night.

Hikvision is the world's #1 brand and our top recommendation. CP Plus is the best Indian brand with strong local support. Dahua is an excellent alternative. All three are reliable choices for Indian homes.
