IDIS, Swift sign deal at IFSEC

by Mark Rowe

The manufacturer IDIS and the fire safety and security installer Swift Fire & Security signed a strategic partnership agreement during IFSEC, at London’s ExCel.

Installing over £1.4m of security systems a month, Swift Fire & Security say that they wanted to increase profit margins by streamlining the networked surveillance systems they offered to three manufacturers. Swift added that some IP manufacturers were delivering poor technical support and regularly had diluted product availability, while some systems were proving difficult and complex to commission.

In early 2014, Swift began evaluating network surveillance products. DirectIP from IDIS, packaged as what the makers term an end-to-end solution, comprises a range of cameras, monitors, network video recorders (NVR), network accessories and video management software (VMS).

An intuitive user interface, maintenance requirements, low power consumption and a bundled VMS with no annual licence fees, also met with the security and low cost of ownership requirements sought by Swift for end user customers, the firms add.

Tony Bates, Security Director at Swift Fire & Security, said: “We carefully evaluated IDIS DirectIP against a number of other IP systems and quickly realised that it offered us what we were looking for in terms of functionality, performance and simple plug-and-play installation as well as providing every element required to implement a complete network surveillance solution. In addition, we were equally impressed with the excellent local technical support, locally warehoused stock, and customer service that the IDIS team could provide. Having made our final decision to make DirectIP one of our network surveillance offerings, it made perfect sense to sign the official partnership agreement here at IFSEC, the home of security solutions.”

Jamie Barnfield, Senior Sales Manager at IDIS Europe, added: “We’re thrilled to sign and announce this agreement at IFSEC with the atmosphere and excitement of the show. This year IDIS is presenting its most comprehensive total surveillance solution to date–with DirectIP at the heart of that offering. One of the top security systems integrators in the UK, Swift Fire & Security are also one of the most established and well-respected in the industry. To have the Swift team validate IDIS and DirectIP here on the IDIS stand at IFSEC, is truly a great honour. We’re very much looking forward to supporting and working with the Swift team moving forward.”
