The name change to Nio (pronounced as 'Neo') was undertaken to provide a consistent brand and corporate identity for the merger of DynaPel and Tempest Microsystems, Inc., announced in August, 2007. Named after the never-sleeping guardians flanking the entrance to all Buddhist Temples, Nio's new corporate identity was formally launched at the IFSEC 2008 security industry trade show in Birmingham, England .
An aggressive new worldwide marketing campaign was also unveiled at IFSEC to promote the corporate brand and products that were announced at the show. The company's merged product lines, under the tagline of 'Watchful Intelligence' include a complete range of smart video cameras, digital video recorders and image enhancement peripherals that represent a compelling solution for the growing world security market.
Nio also announced two new products at IFSEC - the beautifully-styled EyeMax(R) intelligent camera, incorporating advanced AI (Artificial Intelligence) algorithms and a stunning new visual design. The company also announced the new CloseView(R) Supreme - a quad-camera video enhancement peripheral that allows for the unmanned operation of up to 4 different cameras, while simultaneously enhancing the quality and depth-of-field for recorded video from any of these sources. Details on both products, as well as the other members of the Nio solution for video security, may be found at the new company website - http://www.niosec.com.
"The announcement of the evolution of DynaPel into Nio is the first step in the company's new worldwide marketing activities," said Pal Fevang, CEO and President of Nio Security, Inc. "Creating a new 'umbrella brand' for the merged DynaPel and Tempest brings enhanced clarity to our communications efforts about the strengths of this merger and the complete solutions we offer for intelligent video analytics. We are very confident that the new products we are announcing at IFSEC will be well received for their unique capabilities and price points, ranging from entry-level components to complete security solutions.
