Sphere Security
and SightLogix, Inc. jointly announced that the two companies have
entered into a reseller partnership. SightLogix, a US-based manufacturer,
will be supplying its automated
outdoor surveillance camera solutions for perimeter
security and critical infrastructure applications to Sphere Security,
one of the UK’s leading security system integrators. The agreement will
create additional new business development opportunities for Sphere
Security with public and private organizations that need to protect large
perimeters and campus sites, while extending market penetration of
SightLogix’ unique product suite in the UK.
“Sphere Security is always looking for exceptional products to expand our
portfolio of integrated security solutions,” said Nigel Sperring, Managing
Director, Sphere Security. “SightLogix’ automated outdoor surveillance
camera solutions are complementary to our existing security portfolio and
we are looking forward to working with them. With this agreement, Sphere
Security will strengthen its offering to customers who have critical
infrastructure sites such as ports, utilities and private estates. These
customers will benefit by safeguarding their business with an IP-enabled
security system specifically designed to enhance outdoor physical security
and protection.”
SightLogix’ combination of edge-based video analytics , long and wide area
coverage, and geo-spatial target tracking provide reliable and
cost-effective intrusion detection
for large outdoor areas. When a SightLogix camera detects a target that
violates a user-defined security policy, the camera provides the precise
Geographical Information System (GIS)-based target location to the host
video management control platform.
SightLogix automated outdoor surveillance camera solutions have been
deployed in many locations around the globe for a wide variety of
industries including utility, transportation, energy, chemical, information
technology, public safety and defense. With their long range and greater
detection accuracy, SightLogix SightSensors(TM) can reduce the overall cost
of infrastructure and storage by as much as one-third that of alternative
outdoor surveillance approaches.
This reseller agreement enhances the extensive portfolio of integrated
security solutions and services offered by Sphere Security, who have
unrivalled technical knowledge of IP network architectures and the project
management expertise to deliver best-in-breed technology. By offering
SightLogix’s unique automated outdoor surveillance cameras, Sphere Security
is able to deliver an integrated perimeter security system solution that
accurately detects intrusions over large areas, revealing activities that
otherwise may go undetected. Technical and operational personnel at Sphere
Security will undertake intensive training from SightLogix’ experienced
staff.
