Stratel, based in Malaysia , and Bridge 129, based in Italy , are two of the latest distributors to join the VideoIQ roster of partners. Philip Saint-Pere , managing director of Stratel, said, "VideoIQ represents everything a distributor is looking for in a partner -- a solid product line that can efficiently and effectively meet customers' needs, technical excellence and reliability, and a full-featured training program that allows us to get quickly up to speed on their solutions."

It combines automated event detection, a built-in DVR and integrated video management into a single solution -- all driven by next-generation analytics.

"VideoIQ has seen a heightened need for intelligent video surveillance solutions, particularly with terrorism and the poor economic climate that is often rife with increased acts of violence and theft," said Scott Schnell , president and CEO of VideoIQ. "This demand has enabled VideoIQ to expand rapidly across the world, due in part to our best-in-class distribution partners. I'm proud to welcome Stratel and Bridge 129 to this mix."
