The distribution company Midwich has released the latest of their technical catalogues, the Security Guide 2017. Director of Midwich Technical, Jon Dew-Stanley said: “Midwich offer our trade partners access to leading security brands supported by a dedicated team of technology specialists, the team behind your team. Our supportive partnership with the channel to provide advice and guidance on security products right through to technical systems makes Midwich a technology partner of choice to the trade. We strive to competitively meet the demands of mission critical access control, IP CCTV and software analytics systems. We help AV clients to realise projects using networked security technologies that naturally complement the skills of an AV company and develop new avenues of business.”
The guide includes access control, intruder detection and surveillance. Growth in the video surveillance market is the firm says led by software and networking; a feature of some of the new products included within the guide including video analytics. The distributor points to edge-based devices, declining price points and more varied processing, so that now, video analytics are not just available to large, corporate sites, requiring servers and high-end infrastructure.
Francesco Bellavia, Head of Security Sales at Midwich said: “The increase in the availability of edge-based camera analytics will allow you to make significant savings on larger, more integrated systems. Advanced systems can provide License Plate Recognition (LPR), people counting and heat mapping which can be processed by the camera rather than the server.”
The distributor adds that retail businesses are seeking to reduce robbery and inventory loss; in the commercial sector, financial institutions and banks require the latest technology to provide security to the buildings, maintain cash management, and monitoring customers and staff.
Midwich’s 2017 guide includes new products from more than 20 industry suppliers, including Hanwha Techwin, Dahua, Panasonic, Bosch, SeeTec and Vigilant.
Francesco said: “We’ve packed it full of our top brands, the latest products and technical expertise from Midwich, with the addition of our added value services and technologies to help grow your business this year. Of course, as technology advances there is always the need for technical support and system design and here at Midwich, our technical team are fully trained and conversant in the latest products.”
