Prama Hikvision India Private Limited — 2 prefixes (MA-L)

A MAC address starting with 24:B1:05 or BC:29:78 belongs to Prama Hikvision India Private Limited, typically seen on CCTV/IP cameras, HD analog cameras, NVRs/DVRs, and related video-surveillance equipment manufactured in India.

Prama Hikvision India is a registered Indian legal entity (CIN U36100MH2009PTC190094) headquartered in Kandivali East, Mumbai, Maharashtra. It is a joint venture, reportedly around 58% Hangzhou Hikvision Digital Technology Co. (China) and 42% Prama Technologies (India), established via an MOU circa 2008-2009 and covered by multiple trade-press outlets at the time.

The company operates a dedicated manufacturing and integration facility near Vasai, Mumbai, and produces network cameras, analog cameras, recorders, video management software, access control, and intrusion alarm equipment — a product mix consistent with an OUI registrant issuing camera and recorder firmware.

Both IEEE MA-L assignments (24B105 and BC2978) list the identical registrant name and Mumbai address, and the assignment was independently cross-corroborated by two separate third-party lookup services. IEEE's own oui.txt registry could not be fetched directly during this pass (HTTP 418), so the raw IEEE record text was not independently re-read; confirmation instead rests on the local the IEEE MA-L registry snapshot plus third-party mirror agreement.

No CVE or security advisory as of an August 2026 web search names "Prama" or "Prama Hikvision" specifically, and none was found tied to the 24:B1:05 or BC:29:78 ranges. The Chinese parent, Hangzhou Hikvision Digital Technology, carries a separate and substantial CVE history (e.g. a 2023 storage-exposure flaw and a 2025 HikCentral RCE) plus US NDAA Section 889 procurement restrictions, but whether that history extends to Prama-branded, India-manufactured devices carrying these two OUIs is unverified.

24:B1:05, BC:29:78 [Confirmed] — the IEEE MA-L registry 24B105, the IEEE MA-L registry BC2978

Third-party cross-check

both prefixes independently corroborated under this registrant name by two separate lookup services; direct fetch of IEEE's own oui.txt was blocked (HTTP 418) during this check, so the primary registry text was not independently re-read this pass

Registration dates

not applicable — IEEE does not publish OUI/MAC assignment or registration dates; third-party "date" fields (e.g. 2020-06-30, 2024-04-25 shown by macaddress.io) are database scrape artifacts, not IEEE facts [Confirmed] — no IEEE date field exists

Special note

no CVE or security advisory as of an August 2026 web search names Prama or Prama Hikvision specifically, or ties one to the 24:B1:05/BC:29:78 ranges; the Chinese parent Hangzhou Hikvision has a separate, substantial CVE history and is subject to US NDAA Section 889 procurement restrictions, but that history is not confirmed to extend to this JV's own OUI-tagged devices [Unknown] — https://www.securityweek.com/critical-vulnerability-in-hikvision-storage-solutions-exposes-video-security-data/, https://www.sentinelone.com/vulnerability-database/cve-2025-34067/, https://www.hikvision.com/en/support/cybersecurity/security-advisory/security-vulnerability-in-some-hikvision-products/

Analyst note

24:B1:05 and BC:29:78 are dedicated MA-L blocks corroborated to this specific company, not a shared IEEE-RA administrative base, so attributing devices carrying these two prefixes to Prama Hikvision India is a defensible OUI-level claim; it should not be extended into an unqualified security verdict, since no vendor-specific CVE was found and the CVE/restriction history that does exist belongs to the Chinese parent, not confirmed for this JV's own devices
