Vicon Industries, an industry-leading global supplier of end-to-end security solutions since 1967, has increased its commitment to the Indian market this year.
Following their launch in the region in January 2023, Vicon has inaugurated a dedicated sales unit, complemented by an immersive experience center in Viman Nagar, Pune.
This strategic move underscores Vicon’s commitment to providing personalized service and support, ensuring that customers have access to hands-on demonstrations and expert guidance.
A Legacy of Excellence
With a legacy spanning over half a century, Vicon brings unparalleled expertise and reliability to integrators and end-users around the globe–and now, in India.
In that time, Vicon has seen the security industry go from analogue to digital, from physical to electronic, and from reactive to proactive. Today, Vicon’s focus is on developing end-to-end security solutions that perform when it matters most, building a range of products and solutions designed to meet the evolving needs of the industry.
Throughout these changes, Vicon has been at the forefront of innovation, developing new products and services that have helped to shape the industry, from the first pan-tilt-zoom cameras to the first analogue matrix switching systems that paved the way for the video management systems used across our entire industry today.
NDAA Compliance Across the Board
In an era marked by heightened concerns over data security and regulatory compliance, Vicon ensures that its entire portfolio adheres to NDAA compliance–a U.S. legislation which mirrors the Indian government’s ban on the use of certain Chinese-made technology for government projects in 2020.
This dedication to rigorous standards underscores Vicon’s commitment to ethical business practices, solidifying its position as a trusted partner in security solutions by governments around the globe.
A Single Source, Open Platform
Vicon’s single-source, end-to-end approach provides all the necessary components to build a security system, including VMS, access control, intelligent cameras, and servers, all from one place, ensuring seamless integration and limited downtime.
Vicon thoroughly tests and quality controls all its products before shipping, to meet customers’ expectations. In the rare event of an issue, only one contact is needed for support, removing the hassle of dealing with multiple suppliers.
For those wanting to mix and match their system, Vicon maintains an open platform: all their cameras comply with ONVIF (Open Network Video Interface Forum) standards, ensuring compatibility with other VMS or previously installed cameras, provided those are also ONVIF-compliant.
The value of the flexibility offered by an open platform is significant. It allows customers to build the system to precise specifications, shop across manufacturers for the best price, and easily expand the system over time. Features like automatic discovery and configuration of new devices by their VMS, Valerus, prove particularly valuable, saving time and money by streamlining the installation at every step.
Valerus VMS: A Comprehensive Solution
Central to Vicon’s holistic approach is Valerus, a fully-fledged Video Management System (VMS). Equipped with both web and desktop clients, Valerus empowers users with seamless control and monitoring capabilities, ensuring maximum efficiency and peace of mind.
In addition to monitoring cameras, Valerus allows you to monitor video, access control, ANPR, and server status from one interface– simplifying the process for operators and providing a comprehensive view of the system on a single screen.
By centralising platforms, users can set rules based on various factors such as doors, locks, line crosses, loitering, crowds, and number plate recognition. This frees the end-user to respond to issues before they escalate.
Driving Growth in India
Gaurav Taywade, Director of Operations at Vicon, asserts, “India’s rapid growth presents a myriad of challenges and opportunities, particularly in the realm of security. With Vicon’s entry into the market, we are poised to meet the evolving needs of Indian businesses and individuals. Our state-of-the-art solutions, backed by decades of experience, position us as the ideal partner for navigating the complexities of today’s security landscape.”
