DENTON, Texas July 4th, 2007 – ioimage, the pioneer of intelligent video appliances designed for simplicity, announced today that it has signed a distribution agreement with Northern Video Systems, a leading distributor of security, surveillance and IP video equipment, to distribute its products to security systems integrators and dealers throughout North America.

Through the agreement, Northern Video will offer off-the-shelf intelligent video solutions from ioimage that are simple to install, operate and maintain. Northern Video serves systems integrators and dealers in North America and will distribute ioimage’s products through its headquarters in Rocklin, California, and distribution centers in Texas and New Jersey.

“We are excited to represent ioimage since its products offer off-the-shelf intelligent video solutions,” said Brian James, Vice President of Northern Video. “This kind of solution will appeal to small and mid-size security sites that have been slow to embrace video analytics because of the involved complexity and costs“.

“By joining forces with Northern Video, ioimage is able to bring its high-performing, yet easy-to- install intelligent video solutions to a larger group of system integrators and dealers,” said Garry Clark, President of ioimage Americas. “We’re providing unprecedented access to intelligent video products, enabling both high level security facilities such as power plants, airports and manufacturing facilities, as well as industrial and commercial facilities such as car dealerships and universities to deploy video analytics”.

ioimage offers a comprehensive line-up of intelligent video devices, including video encoders and cameras that enable installers to take a plug-and-play approach to video analytics. ioimage solutions are ideal for retrofitting installations and installing new systems. Earlier this year, ioimage expanded its line of IP cameras with video analytics built in. The ioicam mmp100dn, a 3- megapixel IP camera, received the Security Industry Association’s Product Achievement Award at ISC West, Las Vegas this March.
