Hifocus (branded Hi-Focus / HI-FOCUS) is an Indian video-surveillance and network-infrastructure manufacturer headquartered at No. 3 Sunguvar Street, Chintadripet, Chennai, Tamil Nadu. The IEEE registry carries two assignments for "Hifocus Electronics India Private Limited" sharing that Chennai address: one MA-L block (24-bit OUI A4:17:52) and one MA-S block (36-bit OUI-36 70:B3:D5:B25), so a Hifocus MAC may surface from either allocation depending on the device. The company ships a full surveillance stack — IP cameras (dome, bullet, PTZ, fisheye, ANPR, body-worn, solar), HD/analog CCTV, AI-capable NVRs (8–160 channel), hybrid DVR/XVR recorders, smart Wi-Fi cameras, PoE switches, Wi-Fi routers, VMS server software, and interactive flat panels — aimed at commercial, government, educational, and smart-city deployments in India. Hifocus markets STQC (MeitY) and BIS Essential Requirements validation, relevant to India's April 2026 mandatory CCTV security-testing rule. A critical disambiguation: a separate entity "Zhuhai HiFocus Technology Co., Ltd." (MA-L 4C:E1:BB, Zhuhai, Guangdong, China) appears in the registry but is a DISTINCT company and must not be conflated with this Indian vendor. No product-specific CVEs were found, but the device class — networked IP cameras and NVRs exposing ONVIF/RTSP and cloud — carries the standard low-cost IoT surveillance risk profile: default-credential exposure (publicly documented reset guides) and botnet recruitment if internet-exposed without hardening.
- IEEE assignment (MA-L)
- A4:17:52 → Hifocus Electronics India Private Limited, Chennai, IN [Confirmed] — IEEE MA-L (oui.csv)
- IEEE assignment (MA-S / OUI-36)
- 70:B3:D5:B25 → Hifocus Electronics India Private Limited, same Chennai address [Confirmed] — IEEE MA-S (oui36.csv); note OUI-36 blocks are shared 24-bit prefixes carved into 36-bit assignments, so 70:B3:D5 alone is the IEEE-administered prefix
- Registry / block size
- MA-L (24-bit OUI) + MA-S (36-bit OUI-36) — two distinct allocations to the same company [Confirmed] — IEEE oui.csv / oui36.csv
- HQ / country
- No. 3 Sunguvar Street, Chintadripet, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, IN 600002 [Confirmed] — IEEE MA-L registry address; corroborated as Chennai HQ by company/third-party sources (hifocuscctv.com/about-us, techbullion.com, tracxn.com)
- Company status
- active [Confirmed] — hifocuscctv.com/about-us
- Founding year
- ~2015 [Likely] — single-source (tracxn.com snippet; direct fetch returned 429, corroborated via search snippet only)
- Device types
- IP cameras (dome/bullet/PTZ/fisheye/ANPR/body-worn/solar), HD CCTV cameras, NVRs (8–160 ch, AI-capable), hybrid DVR/XVR recorders, smart Wi-Fi cameras, PoE/network switches, Wi-Fi routers, VMS server software, interactive flat panels, power supplies [Confirmed] — hifocuscctv.com (about-us, ip-cameras, NVR category pages)
- Primary use case
- physical-security surveillance — IP-based CCTV for commercial, industrial, government, educational, and smart-city deployments in India; also bundles network infrastructure (PoE switches, Wi-Fi routers) with surveillance systems [Confirmed] — hifocuscctv.com/about-us, businessupturn.com
- Protocol support
- ONVIF, RTSP (per iSpy/ispyconnect integration guide); vendor-branded cloud NVR; PoE camera powering [Confirmed] — ispyconnect.com/camera/hi-focus
- Certifications
- STQC (MeitY), BIS-ER (Bureau of Indian Standards Essential Requirements), CE, FCC, ISO 9001, RoHS — vendor-stated; relevant to India's April 2026 mandatory BIS-ER CCTV requirement [Confirmed as vendor claims] — techbullion.com, hifocuscctv.com/categories/hd-cctv-camera
- Parent company
- Unknown — no parent or group affiliation identified in public sources [Unknown] — null
- IEEE registration date
- Unknown — IEEE publishes NO assignment/registration date for MAC/OUI blocks; any third-party "date registered" is a database artifact, not an IEEE fact [Confirmed] — IEEE oui.csv schema (Registry, Assignment, Organization Name, Organization Address only)
- Security context
- No public CVEs, CISA KEV entries, CERT-In advisories, or NVD records found specific to the HiFocus brand (as of June 2026). The product class (IP cameras/NVRs with ONVIF/RTSP/cloud) carries documented category-level risk: default credentials with widely-available reset guides, ONVIF/RTSP exposure if unsegmented, and historical IoT-botnet (Mirai-family) recruitment via unchanged defaults. Vendor's STQC "secure firmware / encrypted transmission / unauthorized-access protection" claims are marketing copy, not independently audited. Treat any internet-exposed device as a low-cost IP camera: change defaults, isolate on a surveillance VLAN, disable UPnP.

- Data trap / disambiguation
- "Zhuhai HiFocus Technology Co., Ltd." (MA-L 4C:E1:BB, Zhuhai, Guangdong, CN) is a DISTINCT registry entity — do NOT conflate with this Indian Hifocus vendor [Confirmed] — IEEE oui.csv
