History

Originally developing generic Internet Protocol video technology under the VideoBridge brand, [3] it later specialised in the video surveillance market. In 2000, it was floated as a public limited company on the London Stock Exchange. [1] [3]

More recently, it has focused on large-scale IP video security systems. Products include Video Management Software, IP cameras and Network Video Recorders. Notable installations include EuroTunnel, Amsterdam Airport Schiphol, Indira Gandhi International Airport Terminal 3 and the Canada–US border. [4]

As of 2014, IndigoVision has sales and support staff across 30 countries. [4] It provides support from 15 regional centers including New Jersey, São Paulo, Singapore, Dubai, London and Edinburgh, with training facilities, demo suites and local stocking. It partners with approximately 500 trained system integrators to provide local installation and service to end users all over the world. [5]

In March 2020, Motorola Solutions announced that it would acquire the company for £30.4 million. [6] [7] The acquisition was completed in June 2020. [8]

Products

IndigoVision relabels cameras manufactured by Avigilon, also a Motorola Solutions company. [9] The company, which formerly relabeled cameras manufactured by Dahua Technology, told IPVM that the change was made due to NDAA and supply-chain concerns. [9]

Closed-circuit television (CCTV), also known as video surveillance, is the use of closed-circuit television cameras to transmit a signal to a specific place, on a limited set of monitors. It differs from broadcast television in that the signal is not openly transmitted, though it may employ point-to-point, point-to-multipoint (P2MP), or mesh wired or wireless links. Even though almost all video cameras fit this definition, the term is most often applied to those used for surveillance in areas that require additional security or ongoing monitoring.
