Surveillance cameras
Secure. GDPR-compliant. No backdoors.
Surveillance cameras from Geutebrück, Hanwha, and Axis
Modern video surveillance goes far beyond high-definition images – it must be intelligent, secure, and compliant with data protection regulations to meet the increasing demands of businesses, critical infrastructure, and public areas. The surveillance cameras from Geutebrück, Hanwha, and Axis combine exactly these features, offering camera technology that meets the highest security standards. Combined with Vaidio’s AI-driven video analysis, it creates a powerful solution that not only detects objects and people.
Certified security cameras – uncompromisingly secure, powerful, and GDPR-compliant
Whether in industrial manufacturing, building surveillance, or public city monitoring – we provide professional camera solutions from Geutebrück, Hanwha, and Axis that meet the highest standards for cybersecurity, reliability, and data protection. All systems are GDPR and NDAA-compliant, free from hidden access points (“backdoors”), and offer a long lifespan thanks to high-quality craftsmanship – even under harsh environmental conditions.
With open interfaces and manufacturer-independent data storage, the cameras integrate seamlessly into existing IT environments – ensuring maximum control over your infrastructure and sensitive video data.
Encrypted firmware, secure updates, secure boot, and signed software prevent tampering and hacker attacks. No hidden backdoors, as production takes place outside of China.
High-quality image sensors ensure better details, color reproduction, and high resolutions (Full HD to 8K). Robust, weatherproof, and vandal-resistant enclosures (IP66/IP67, IK10) guarantee a long lifespan with minimal maintenance.
Geutebrück, Hanwha, and Axis meet the highest data protection standards and are also NDAA-compliant.
Our cameras are designed for exceptionally long-lasting use and typically achieve a significantly higher lifespan than many Chinese models.
Axis Communications: Scandinavian top quality in video surveillance
Axis Communications is a Swedish company and one of the world’s leading providers of network cameras and video surveillance solutions. Since the invention of the first IP camera in 1996, Axis has continuously set new standards in the industry. The company’s cameras are used across various sectors, including retail, critical infrastructure, government, healthcare, and industry.
Axis cameras deliver excellent image quality with resolutions ranging from Full HD to 4K Ultra HD. Thanks to advanced image processing technologies like Lightfinder, Forensic WDR, and Zipstream, they ensure detailed and clear footage even in challenging lighting conditions and backlighting. This enables precise identification of people, objects, and situations – both during the day and at night.
Reliably detect the finest wires, organic materials, explosives, and drugs – thanks to dual technology and crystal-clear image quality.
Axis offers one of the broadest portfolios on the market – from fixed cameras, PTZ cameras, multisensor and thermal cameras to body cameras. The solutions can be flexibly combined and are suitable for industries such as retail, public safety, healthcare, transportation, and many other applications.
Many Axis cameras feature simple, integrated edge analytics that enable basic functions such as motion detection, line crossing detection, or audio triggers — directly in the camera without additional server load. These basic analytics are ideal for applications with simple security requirements. For more complex use cases, Axis cameras can be excellently combined with external AI analytics like Vaidio to achieve much more comprehensive evaluations.
Axis manufactures its products outside of China. Additionally, Axis relies on secure boot, signed firmware, and end-to-end encryption to ensure the highest security standards. Axis products also meet the requirements of the US NDAA (National Defense Authorization Act), making them suitable for use in regulated, security-sensitive infrastructures without concerns.
Hanwha Vision: South Korean video surveillance with a focus on data protection
Hanwha Vision, formerly Hanwha Techwin, is a South Korean company and one of the world’s leading manufacturers of video surveillance solutions. As part of the Hanwha Group, one of South Korea’s largest industrial conglomerates, the company offers a wide range of camera solutions for use in industries such as manufacturing, retail, critical infrastructure, transportation, and government. Hanwha Vision stands for reliable, robust, and secure surveillance technology with a strong focus on data protection and cybersecurity.
Hanwha cameras deliver excellent image quality with resolutions ranging from Full HD to 8K, and use technologies such as WiseNR II (noise reduction), Forensic WDR, and Extreme Low Light to ensure clear and detailed footage even in challenging lighting conditions. This enables precise detection of people and objects – even in poor visibility or with fast movements.
Hanwha Vision develops cameras for demanding environments that are weatherproof (IP66/IP67) and vandal-resistant (IK10). Designed for use in extreme temperatures, they are suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications. With their durable construction, Hanwha cameras provide a reliable solution for long-term security needs.
Hanwha’s portfolio includes fixed cameras, PTZ cameras, multisensor cameras, fisheye cameras, and specialized solutions for specific requirements.
For basic analysis tasks, many Hanwha cameras offer simple edge analytics functions such as motion detection, person and vehicle detection, or zone monitoring. These are especially suitable for applications where straightforward surveillance without complex AI-powered analysis is sufficient.
Hanwha Vision places great importance on data protection and IT security. The cameras are equipped with signed firmware updates, secure boot technology, and encryption to prevent unauthorized access. A key advantage: Hanwha does not manufacture its cameras in China, but develops and produces them in South Korea and Vietnam. This ensures that there are no potential backdoors or unauthorized access to hardware or software.
Geutebrück: A pioneer in video surveillance – Made in Germany
Geutebrück is a German company that has specialized in the development and production of video surveillance systems for over 50 years. The company’s products are used worldwide across a variety of industries, including manufacturing, retail, transportation, and public safety. Geutebrück has established itself as a leading provider of video cameras for surveillance applications.

What to keep in mind:
Most low-cost surveillance cameras come from Chinese manufacturers such as Hikvision, Dahua, or Uniview, which are widely used around the world. However, there are geopolitical and security concerns to consider:
- In the United States, United Kingdom, Australia, and New Zealand, there are official restrictions or outright bans. In the EU and Germany, security advisories have been issued, and the use of such equipment in sensitive areas is strongly discouraged.
- Some Chinese cameras transmit data to servers located in China or are connected to Chinese cloud services.
- Many low-cost cameras have poorly secured firmware, making them vulnerable to cyberattacks.
- Chinese companies are legally required to cooperate with government authorities.
- Chinese companies have repeatedly been accused of using various methods to gain access to sensitive corporate data – including the potential misuse of video surveillance technology.
