Visual Defence will contribute through BSSI, its broad portfolio of physical security solutions along with associated design and engineering expertise to BSSI's enterprise clientele. Visual Defence and BSSI have a number of synergies that offer a competitive advantage in the Canadian marketplace including BSSI's broad reach and Visual Defence's market expertise.
Oved Tal, CEO for Visual Defence, said: "The arrangement with Bell Security Solutions provides a comprehensive physical and logical security offering to the Canadian marketplace that leverages Bell's expertise in network deployments."
Visual Defence provides solutions that enable digital audio-visual ("AV") data to be captured from a variety of sources, such as fixed or mobile cameras, microphones, infra-red sensors, access controls and burglar alarms and delivered to local or remote locations where it can be managed and monitored. The Company's solutions are primarily targeted at government establishments, the military, mass transport centres such as airports, seaports, underground trains and large commercial enterprises.
A key strength of the Visual Defence's systems is that they integrate with legacy analogue equipment, overcoming problems of compatibility and replacement costs that potential clients face in the process of migrating from analogue to digital technologies. In addition, the Company's digital AV technology platform enables the introduction of "next generation" security and surveillance applications such as face recognition, motion detection and real time distribution of images and other data to multiple sites.
Bell Security Solutions Inc. (BSSI), provides network and information security for organisations in Government (Federal and Provincial), Healthcare, Financial Services, Retail and Manufacturing. BSSI offers the most comprehensive set of IP security applications through a single point of contact.
