We accelerate the next generation of smart security and safety solutions through joint innovation with customers and partners.
We are an award-winning German startup with locations in Munich, Eindhoven and Pittsburgh. We are 100% funded by the Bosch Group.
Our goal is to be the leading open platform and marketplace for smart security and safety solutions. The platform we offer is based on a camera operating system that powers cameras from various manufacturers on the market. It connects to our Application Store where leading video analytics development companies offer cutting-edge apps. To run this platform, we take a commission for app sales.
The idea for Security & Safety Things was initially launched as a growth project within Bosch. Very quickly it became clear, that this idea can best accelerate and grow in an external company. In August 2018, the company was founded with Hartmut Schaper (CEO) and Stefanie Grimm (CFO) as managing directors.
Collaboration initiative that enables value added innovations in security and safety, designed around real customer needs.
