Detailed Review
Securiton AG was founded in Bern on 22 July 1948 and is headquartered at Alpenstrasse 20 in Zollikofen. Its company page lists more than 860 employees and CHF 212 million in sales, and the product range spans fire protection, intrusion protection, access control and video security.
That breadth sets it apart from video-only vendors. The same supplier can deliver cameras, alarms and doors, with local offices in all regions of Switzerland.
Three SecuriEye Tiers
SecuriEye Compact is an autonomous system for SMEs and households with up to 16 video inputs, a recorder plus connected cameras and one-off costs. SecuriEye Expert is the modular solution for demanding applications such as schools and prisons, with object tracking, video analytics and event-based search. SecuriEye Smart is a cloud-based service sold as a subscription.
Cloud Operated in Switzerland
The SecuriCloud page states that cloud services are 100% operated in Switzerland and lists security by design, encryption and multi-level authentication. Its ControlServices provide web and mobile apps, while RemoteServices handle remote support of the alarm and security installations.
Local Advice as Part of the Offer
Each product page leans on personal advice from offices across Switzerland and on security concept design, meaning the buying route is consultative.
Limitations to Consider
Prices are not published, and SecuriEye is sold with local consultation, which suits Swiss customers more than buyers elsewhere in Europe. Switzerland is outside the EU, so check the data transfer basis in the contract. For a camera-agnostic cloud layer outside Switzerland look at Cloudview.
Who Should Use Securiton
Swiss SMEs, public bodies, schools and hospitality businesses that want one installer for video, intrusion alarms and access control.
