August 11, 2008—Nio Security Inc., a provider of intelligent video security camera and DVR solutions for civilian security applications, announced that it has signed a strategic agreement and alliance with Lenco Software AS, a developer of military GIS and 3D visualization software with additional NBC (Nuclear, Biological, Chemical) detection products.
The agreement gives Nio access to one of the most advanced 3D visualization and navigation software solutions available for maps and satellite images. Also covered in the agreement is Lenco’s sophisticated alarm- and event-management system, which has already been adopted by several NATO countries as part of their national defense solutions.
Lenco software will become the foundation of Nio’s new civilian control room solutions that fully leverage the company’s auto-tracking EyeMax video cameras and Tempest networked digital video recording devices, the companies say.
Under this agreement, Lenco will sell Nio’s advanced video surveillance products to the defense sector, while Nio will have the exclusive right to sell OEM versions of Lenco’s CODS 3D visualization software that have been adapted to the civilian market. The civilian software will be sold under Nio’s brand through its worldwide certified dealer network. Lenco will continue to focus on the defense sector and sell Nio’s advanced video surveillance products in addition to its CODS multi-sensor command and control products.
