 Sphere Security and SightLogix announce their plan to expand UK market opportunities
Sphere Security and SightLogix®, Inc. jointly announced that the two companies have entered into a reseller partnership. SightLogix, a US-based manufacturer, will be supplying its automated outdoor surveillance camera solutions for perimeter security and critical infrastructure applications to Sphere Security, one of the UK's leading security system integrators. The agreement will create additional new business development opportunities for Sphere Security with public and private organizations that need to protect large perimeters and campus sites, while extending market penetration of SightLogix' unique product suite in the UK.

"Sphere Security is always looking for exceptional products to expand our portfolio of integrated security solutions," said Nigel Sperring, Managing Director, Sphere Security. "SightLogix' automated outdoor surveillance camera solutions are complementary to our existing security portfolio and we are looking forward to working with them. With this agreement, Sphere Security will strengthen its offering to customers who have critical infrastructure sites such as ports, utilities and private estates. These customers will benefit by safeguarding their business with an IP-enabled security system specifically designed to enhance outdoor physical security and protection."

SightLogix' combination of edge-based video analytics, long and wide area coverage, and geo-spatial target tracking provide reliable and cost-effective intrusion detection for large outdoor areas. When a SightLogix camera detects a target that violates a user-defined security policy, the camera provides the precise Geographical Information System (GIS)-based target location to the host video management control platform.
