Description

The company makes intelligent visual technology for homes and businesses. It was founded in 2009 by a group of engineers focused on smarter security.

Its products are used by millions of people in more than 110 countries and regions.

This role raises the quality, relevance and results of creative marketing in Germany, Austria and Switzerland.
