Observision, a market leader in video analytics, has made an important step into the UK by appointing ClearView Communications as its distributor.

Observision provides cutting-edge solutions for video content analysis and is planning further European expansion.

Its most recent accolade, received at Security Essen in November, was the silver Security Innovation Award. The Videominer was selected from 72 international entries.

According to Mark Bloemendaal, CEO at Observision, there is much interest in Observision’s innovative solutions, which was a major reason why it needed to find a solid partner with a proven track record in the intelligent security solutions arena.

“We have gone through a thorough selection process of potential distributors, since the UK is considered the biggest European market for security solutions,” said Mr Bloemendaal. “In the end, it was ClearView’s product portfolio and market position – in addition to its technical knowledge and experience – that provided an excellent fit with our services. It is a serious player in the UK security market and instantly recognised the added value of our solutions.

“On top of that, ClearView Communications has a leading position providing forensic video solutions to UK police forces. We are also anticipating high demand for our Videominer in the UK, which is our first official product launch here.”

Observision’s new UK sales manager Graham O’Connor added: “There has been strong interest for Observision’s Videominer in the UK, due to its ability to search an hour of CCTV footage in less than two seconds.”
