Hikvision has reached an important cybersecurity milestone by becoming the first CCTV manufacturer to receive the European Cybersecurity Certification (EUCC) for its DeepinView Network Camera Series (iDS-2CD7x). This achievement demonstrates that modern IP cameras are no longer evaluated only by image quality and AI capabilities. Today, cybersecurity is equally important, especially for organizations that rely on surveillance systems to protect critical infrastructure, public facilities, transportation, and commercial buildings.
For system integrators, security professionals, and end users, the certification provides additional confidence that the camera has passed independent cybersecurity testing based on internationally recognized standards.
What Is EUCC Certification?
EUCC (European Cybersecurity Certification based on Common Criteria) is a cybersecurity certification framework developed for digital products sold within the European market. The certification is based on the internationally recognized Common Criteria (ISO/IEC 15408) standard and verifies whether a product has been designed, tested, and maintained with strong cybersecurity practices.
Unlike basic security claims made by manufacturers, EUCC certification requires independent evaluation by accredited testing laboratories and certification bodies.
For surveillance devices, this means the camera’s security features are thoroughly assessed before certification is granted.
Hikvision DeepinView Cameras Meet the EUCC “Substantial” Assurance Level
The certified Hikvision DeepinView iDS-2CD7x network camera series successfully achieved the EUCC “Substantial” assurance level.
The evaluation was conducted according to:
- ISO/IEC 15408 (Common Criteria)
- CEM:2022 R1 methodology
- Evaluation Assurance Level 3 (EAL3)
- ALC_FLR.2 requirements for vulnerability remediation
The certification was issued by TrustCB B.V., while the security assessment was performed by Bureau Veritas Cybersecurity Europe, both recognized organizations in cybersecurity testing and certification.
This is what the certificate looks like.
What Are Hikvision DeepinView Network Cameras?
Hikvision DeepinView Network Cameras are a premium series of AI-powered IP cameras designed for professional video surveillance. Compared to conventional network cameras, the DeepinView series combines high-resolution imaging with advanced deep learning algorithms to deliver more accurate detection, classification, and event analysis.
These cameras are widely used in demanding security environments such as airports, transportation hubs, government facilities, industrial sites, smart cities, commercial buildings, critical infrastructure, and large enterprise campuses where both image quality and intelligent analytics are essential.
One of the key advantages of the DeepinView series is its ability to distinguish between people, vehicles, and other objects. This significantly reduces false alarms caused by environmental factors such as rain, moving leaves, shadows, or animals, allowing security personnel to focus on real security events.
Depending on the model, Hikvision DeepinView cameras may include intelligent features such as:
- Deep learning-based human and vehicle classification
- Perimeter protection with accurate intrusion detection
- Facial detection and face capture
- Queue management and people counting
- ANPR (Automatic Number Plate Recognition) for vehicle access control
- High-resolution imaging up to 12 MP
- Smart low-light performance with DarkFighter technology
- WDR (Wide Dynamic Range) for challenging lighting conditions
- H.265+ video compression to reduce storage and bandwidth requirements
- Built-in cybersecurity features for secure network communication
The DeepinView portfolio includes bullet cameras, dome cameras, box cameras, and specialized models with multiple lens options to support a wide range of surveillance applications.
Why Cybersecurity Matters for Network Cameras?
Unlike analog cameras, IP cameras have evolved into connected IoT devices. Besides streaming video, they communicate with networks, storage servers, mobile applications, and cloud platforms. You can read about the differences between IP cameras and analog CCTV.
Without proper cybersecurity protections, connected cameras may become targets for unauthorized access, credential theft, or network attacks.
Modern organizations increasingly require surveillance equipment that provides protection in areas such as:
- User authentication
- Secure access control
- Encrypted communications
- Security event logging
- Vulnerability management
- Secure software updates
These capabilities help reduce cybersecurity risks while supporting compliance with modern security regulations.
Security-by-Design from the Beginning
According to Hikvision, the certification reflects its Security-by-Design development philosophy.
Rather than adding security after a product is released, Security-by-Design integrates cybersecurity throughout the entire product lifecycle, including:
- Product planning
- Hardware and software development
- Security testing
- Manufacturing
- Deployment
- Firmware maintenance
- Ongoing vulnerability management
This approach helps ensure security remains an integral part of the product instead of an optional feature.
Supporting Europe’s New Cybersecurity Regulations
Europe is strengthening cybersecurity requirements for connected digital products.
Recent regulations such as the Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) and the NIS2 Directive encourage manufacturers to improve product security throughout the product lifecycle. EUCC certification provides an independent way for manufacturers to demonstrate compliance with these evolving cybersecurity expectations. You should know that many security camera products from China are banned from use in the European market for security reasons.
For organizations operating in regulated industries, certified products can simplify procurement and cybersecurity risk assessments.
Benefits for System Integrators and End Users
For security installers, consultants, and IT administrators, certified surveillance equipment offers several practical advantages.
These include:
- Higher confidence in product cybersecurity
- Independent third-party security validation
- Better alignment with European cybersecurity requirements
- Reduced cybersecurity concerns during project planning
- Increased trust for government and enterprise deployments
As cybersecurity becomes a key purchasing factor, certifications like EUCC may become increasingly important when selecting IP surveillance equipment.
