Top Countries That Produce Security Systems | KOA ED

Certain countries are best known for their technological achievements and the strides they made in particular industries. For example, Germany is known for excellent car manufacturing, with brands like Mercedes-Benz, BMW, and Audi being synonymous with quality and highly-praised German engineering. 

The Japanese are known for the country’s electronics and robotics technology, the US for digital innovations, and the Chinese for their mass manufacturing capabilities and emerging technology sector. But what about surveillance and security systems? In this article, we’ll discuss some of the top countries that produce security systems.

United States

As one of the world’s largest economies and a country that’s at the forefront of digital innovation, the US has also developed a robust security systems industry with several major companies, such as Honeywell, a global leader in residential, commercial, and industrial security systems which include alarms, CCTV, and access control systems . 

ADT is another American company known for residential and commercial security systems, which also include alarms, surveillance cameras, and smart-home integrations . And let’s not forget Rind, which is owned by Amazon and offers a range of cameras, alarms, and home integrations. 

China

China’s presence on this list, as one of the leaders in the global security systems market, is two-fold. China’s prominence is primarily due to its vast manufacturing capabilities, but also due to the fact that it’s the highest surveilled country in the world, which has approx. 440 cameras per 1,000 people.

It’s no wonder that some of the security systems’ biggest names, such as Hikvision and Dahua, are coming from China. Both brands specialize in video surveillance, offering a broad range of products that include CCTV cameras, digital and network video recorders (DVRs and NVRs), and other related products and accessories. 

Furthermore, the country’s production of IoT-based security devices and systems is rapidly growing, thanks to the aforementioned manufacturing capabilities and robust electronics manufacturing industry.

Germany

Germans are best known for their precise and meticulous engineering, as well as very high-quality standards. In fact, German engineering is often synonymous with the term “over-engineered.” As one might expect, German companies have made significant contributions to the global security systems industry. 

For example, Bosch Security Systems, a division of the engineering and technology giant Bosch, provides a range of security and communications solutions . This includes but isn’t limited to video surveillance, intrusion detection, fire detection, and voice alarms. 

On the other hand, Siemens, another multinational tech giant, offers comprehensive smart building and home security solutions—with a larger emphasis on the former. Thanks to the contributions of these two companies alone, Germany’s focus on innovation and advanced technology often places its security systems at the forefront of the industry. 

Japan

The land of the rising sun and the home of Sony Group Corporation—a conglomerate corporation and one of the world’s largest manufacturers of consumer and professional electronics—Japan’s reputation in technology and electronics extends to the security system industry. 

Companies such as Hitachi provide a wide variety of security solutions, including access control systems, video monitoring, and integrated security systems. Panasonic is another Japanese multinational company known for its wide range of electronic products—including security systems. 

Panasonic’s offering encompasses video surveillance, access control, alarm systems, and more. Considering that Japan is low on natural resources and relies heavily on imports, the country had to develop an industrialized economy with a large focus on efficiency, technological innovation, and high-value manufacturing, which is reflected in the high quality of its security systems industry. 

Summary

While this list presents only four of the top counties that produce high-quality security systems, other notable mentions include the United Kingdom, South Korea, Israel, Sweden, and so on.
