30 questions

Ordering and pricing

How do I get a price for a product?

Send an enquiry from the product page, or add several models to your enquiry list and send them together. You can also call or WhatsApp the sales desk.

Prices are quoted per enquiry and depend on the model, the quantity and current brand pricing.

Why are prices not shown on the website?

Distributor prices move with brand price revisions, stock and order quantity, and they differ between dealers, integrators and direct buyers. Quoting per enquiry means the figure you receive reflects current pricing for your quantity.

Is there a minimum order quantity?

Minimum quantities depend on the product and the brand. Some items are supplied only in full cartons or packs. The sales desk confirms any minimum when it quotes.

Can you price a full project bill of quantities?

Yes. System integrators, contractors and institutions can send a BOQ covering several brands from the projects and bulk supply page. Include the delivery location and any approved makes named in the tender or specification.

Do you sell to individual buyers?

We mainly supply dealers, resellers, system integrators, institutions and businesses. Individual buyers can still send an enquiry, and the sales desk will advise on the best way to buy the product you need.

Billing and GST

Do you issue GST invoices?

Yes. Sales are billed on a GST tax invoice showing the products, quantities, rates and tax. Keep the invoice safely: it is also your proof of purchase for warranty claims.

Can my business claim input tax credit?

Registered businesses can claim input tax credit under GST rules when the invoice carries their GSTIN. Share your GSTIN, registered business name and billing address before the invoice is raised, so it is right first time. Changing an invoice after it is issued takes extra paperwork on both sides.

Do quoted prices include GST?

Each quotation states whether its prices include or exclude GST. If that is not clear on the quotation you received, ask the sales desk before you order.

How do I pay for an order?

Payment methods and terms are confirmed by the sales desk with each order. Before paying into an account for the first time, confirm the bank details by calling a number listed on this website.

Do you offer credit?

Credit is not offered through the website. Whether credit is available, and on what terms, is agreed individually with the sales desk; ask about it when you register as a dealer.

Delivery and dispatch

Which areas do you supply?

We supply customers across North East India from Guwahati. For other locations, ask the sales desk.

How long does delivery take?

It depends on stock, the delivery location and the transport used. The sales desk confirms the expected dispatch when you order. Items that have to be ordered from the brand take longer.

Can I collect an order from your office?

Ask the sales desk when you order. If collection suits your order, the desk agrees a time with you so the goods are packed and invoiced before you arrive.

How are goods sent outside Guwahati?

By courier or road transport, depending on the size, weight and destination of the consignment. The carrier and any freight charges are confirmed when you order. Ask for the docket or LR number after dispatch so you can track the consignment with the carrier.

What should I check when a consignment arrives?

Count the cartons against the invoice, check seals and packaging, and write any visible damage on the delivery receipt before you sign. Photograph damaged cartons and report damage or shortages to the sales desk straight away.

Warranty and service

Who provides the warranty?

The manufacturer. Each brand sets its own warranty period and terms, which can differ by product line and model. We log and follow up claims for products bought from us or our dealers. See the warranty policy.

How do I raise a warranty claim?

Call our service team on +91 70990 18041 with the invoice number, model, serial number and a description of the fault. They tell you whether to take the product to the brand's service centre or send it through us, and how.

Some brands also accept products directly at their authorised service centres.

What if a product does not work out of the box?

Report it immediately, with photos of the box, labels and product. Each brand sets its own dead-on-arrival window and conditions. Faults reported after that window are handled as normal warranty repairs. More on dead-on-arrival claims.

Can you recover data from a failed drive?

No. Warranty service covers the hardware only, and a faulty drive is often replaced rather than repaired. Back up your data before sending any hard drive, SSD, memory card, pen drive or recorder.

How long does a warranty repair take?

It depends on the brand's service centre, the availability of parts or replacement stock, and courier time in both directions. We do not promise a fixed turnaround. Give your invoice number and serial number when you call for a status update.

What does the warranty not cover?

Brands usually decline claims for physical or liquid damage, burn marks, surge or lightning damage, tampered or missing serial labels, unauthorised repair, consumables, software problems and normal wear. The brand's service centre makes the final decision. See what is not covered.

Dealer accounts

How do I become a dealer?

Register on the dealer programme page with your business details and GSTIN. The sales desk reviews each registration and contacts you to discuss brands, pricing and terms.

Do I need a GSTIN to register as a dealer?

A GSTIN is needed for business invoices and input tax credit. If your business is not registered under GST, say so in the registration form and the sales desk will advise.

Do dealers get different pricing?

Dealer and project pricing is quoted per enquiry and depends on the brand, the quantity and current brand pricing. No standard discount levels are published.

How do registered dealers place orders?

Call or WhatsApp the sales desk, or build an enquiry list on the website with model numbers and quantities and send it. The desk confirms price, stock and dispatch before billing.

Products and compatibility

Can you help me choose compatible products?

Yes. Tell the sales desk what you are building, for example a 16 camera IP system or a desktop PC, and it can suggest compatible models from the brands we distribute.

The CCTV storage, PoE budget and UPS sizing calculators help with first estimates.

Is every model on the website in stock?

The website lists the models we distribute, not live stock. Availability is confirmed when you enquire.

Which hard drive should I use in a DVR or NVR?

Use a surveillance-rated hard drive, such as Seagate SkyHawk or WD Purple, which are designed for continuous recording. Size it with the CCTV storage calculator using your camera count, resolution and retention period, and check the recorder's maximum supported capacity per bay.

Are the specifications on this website final?

Specifications come from official brand sources and our price lists, and brands revise products from time to time. Confirm critical details on the brand's datasheet or with the sales desk before you order.

Will a processor work with my motherboard?

Check the socket, the chipset and the board's CPU support list on the brand's website. Newer processors can need a BIOS update on older boards. Send the sales desk both model numbers if you want a second check.

Ask the sales desk

If your question is not answered here, call or message the desk. For a warranty claim, call the service team on +91 70990 18041.
