Honeywell Unveils First ‘Made in India’ CCTV Series
Honeywell, a global leader in building technologies and automation, has officially launched the 50 Series CCTV Camera portfolio, its first-ever camera line designed and manufactured entirely in India. This strategic initiative aligns closely with the Indian government’s Atmanirbhar Bharat (Self-Reliant India) mission, positioning Honeywell as a committed contributor to India’s digital and manufacturing future.
The 50 Series cameras are Class 1 certified, the highest category under the government’s ‘Make in India’ policy. They are conceptualized, designed, and developed in the country, reflecting Honeywell’s commitment to India’s growth story.
Developed at Honeywell’s global development center in Bengaluru, the 50 Series cameras are manufactured through a strategic collaboration with Indian Electronic Manufacturing Services (EMS) provider VVDN Technologies, which also served as the hardware design partner.
“This launch reflects our commitment to shaping the future of innovative, secure and intelligent security solutions tailored for India. It also reinforces our commitment to the India growth story and is a testament to our deep local engineering capabilities and strong local partnerships,” said Vimal Kapur, Honeywell CEO and Chairman.
In honor of the series launch, Kapur met with Shri. Ashwini Vaishnaw, Honourable Union Minister for Electronics and IT, Railways and I&B for the Government of India in New Delhi, along with additional senior leaders from Honeywell, including Anant Maheshwari, President and CEO, Honeywell Global Regions, Ashish Modi, President, Honeywell in India and Vivek Bansal, Founder and President, VVDN Technologies.
“The Indian economy is growing consistently. We are committed to establish India as a ‘product nation’. These ‘Made in India’ CCTVs are a good step in that direction. We encourage the industry to Design in India, Make in India and Make for the World,” said Shri. Ashwini Vaishnaw.
The 50 Series CCTV cameras are built specifically for the Indian market, combining intelligent video analytics for proactive threat detection, enhanced imaging performance, gyro sensor-based image stabilization, and robust cybersecurity. They address the evolving security requirements of critical infrastructure across various sectors, including government, healthcare, education, transport, commercial, and real estate. The portfolio features a wide range of models in 3MP and 5MP resolutions, available in dome and bullet form factors.
This new offering also builds on Honeywell’s 2024 acquisition of Carrier’s Global Access Solutions business, which included LenelS2. This acquisition enhanced Honeywell’s advanced physical security solutions, including access control, video surveillance, and mobile credentialing. With the addition of the 50 Series CCTV cameras, Honeywell can now serve as the preferred Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) for all electronic security requirements of clients across various market segments and industry verticals.
Honeywell’s launch of the 50 Series CCTV cameras marks a significant milestone in India’s journey towards self-reliance in advanced technology manufacturing. By leveraging local engineering capabilities and fostering strong partnerships, Honeywell is poised to contribute significantly to India’s vision of becoming a global manufacturing hub for high-tech products.
