Gains Up to 338%: Stocks from This Industry Turn Multibaggers in Less Than a Year; How AI Is Driving the Theme

On Tuesday, October 06, 2026, shares of CCTV and video-surveillance companies have hit a fresh high Shares as investors track the growing use of artificial intelligence across the security industry. Aditya Infotech and Prizor Viztech touched fresh 52-week highs on Tuesday.

The interest comes at a time when India’s surveillance market is expanding beyond conventional camera installations. Security concerns, infrastructure development, government programmes and increasing adoption of technology across public and private establishments are supporting demand for more sophisticated surveillance systems.

According to Frost & Sullivan, video surveillance and biometric technologies are playing an increasingly important role in India’s digital economy. The domestic video-surveillance market is benefiting from rising security requirements, government-led initiatives such as the Smart Cities Mission, greater regulatory oversight and continued infrastructure development.

Demand is also being supported by urban safety programmes and compliance requirements across sectors such as Banking, education and transportation. At the same time, India has become an important market for biometric technologies, aided by the government’s push towards a secure digital ecosystem through platforms such as Aadhaar.

Aditya Infotech Hits Fresh High

Aditya Infotech was among the prominent surveillance stocks in focus during Tuesday's session. The stock touched a fresh 52-week high of Rs 4,188.90 after opening at Rs 4,082.10. It later gave up part of its Intraday gains and was trading near Rs 3,993 on the NSE at around 2:32 pm.

The stock has delivered strong returns over the past year. On a year-to-date basis, Aditya Infotech has gained 162.38 per cent, while its return over the last one year stands at 189.65 per cent.

The company has guided for FY27 revenue of Rs 6,000-6,500 crore, while its PAT guidance stands at 8.5-9.5 per cent.

Aditya Infotech operates in a segment that is gradually seeing cameras evolve from standalone recording devices into connected security systems capable of integrating analytics, monitoring and other digital tools.

Transline Technologies Adds to the AI Surveillance Theme

Another company linked to this theme is Transline Technologies, which has filed its Draft Red Herring Prospectus.

The company provides technology-led surveillance solutions that combine IP cameras, CCTV systems, access-control systems and video-analytics software. Artificial intelligence is incorporated into its solutions to support real-time monitoring and improve operational efficiency.

Its offering goes beyond the installation of cameras. Depending on customer requirements, Transline integrates its proprietary software products such as StorePulse, CamStore and CheckCam with surveillance systems.

The company also operates across smart-city solutions, network infrastructure and security, wireless communication platforms and customised software development. These offerings are supported by services such as technical training, on-site maintenance, managed services, installation and commissioning.

The presence of companies offering both surveillance hardware and analytics software highlights how the industry is gradually moving towards integrated technology platforms rather than relying only on traditional CCTV installations.

Prizor Viztech Locked in Upper Circuit

Prizor Viztech was another surveillance-related stock attracting investor attention on Tuesday.

The stock touched a fresh 52-week high of Rs 1,316.35 and was trading at the same level, up 5 per cent, indicating that the counter was locked in the upper circuit.

Its performance over a longer period has also been sharp. Prizor Viztech has gained 338.05 per cent on a year-to-date basis, while the stock is up nearly 300 per cent over the last one year.

Why CCTV and Surveillance Stocks Are in Focus

The underlying change taking place in the surveillance industry is increasingly centred on artificial intelligence.

Traditional CCTV systems were largely designed to record footage that could be reviewed later. Newer surveillance systems can go several steps further. AI-powered video analytics can identify objects, analyse behaviour, detect unusual activity and generate alerts while an event is taking place.

This makes surveillance useful not only for security but also for monitoring operations, controlling access, analysing movement and improving response times.

For businesses, government agencies and infrastructure operators, the value of a surveillance network therefore increasingly depends on what can be extracted from the footage rather than simply how much footage is recorded.

This shift from recording video to analysing video in real time is widening the opportunity for companies operating across CCTV hardware, video analytics, smart-city infrastructure and security software.

With artificial intelligence becoming a bigger part of surveillance systems, companies with exposure to both cameras and intelligent monitoring solutions are increasingly finding their way onto investors' radar.
