alt Hacker NewsPersonally, I know nobody who has the need to install this type of crappy surveillance shit on their front door in Europe to start with.
You frame it like the only alternative to American surveillance cameras is Chinese surveillance cameras, but no cameras seems to be no option for you.
Who is the one with the paranoid, imaginary reasons?
Edit: Ah btw, here in germany we have of course cameras to see who is in front of the door, it is called Türsprechanlage. It does not record, it does sent to the cloud, it is not smart, and is developed and produced in Germany, for example by Siedle.
I don't understand why all answers make it all about Germany. I say "Europe" and you say "but here in Germany". If you insist on Germany I saw plenty of cheap Chinese IP cameras in Turkish, Arab, and Asian districts of German cities and in tourist hotspots of German cities. Every noodle and kebab place has at least one inside or outside. IP camera, doorbell camera, surveillance camera, call it however you want.
