The AD Group name is synonymous with the world's leading brands in the Security Industry today. Dedicated Micros, Dennard, Remguard, AD Network Video, AD Aerospace and DTEC, each market leaders in their own right, provide high quality security solutions to meet the needs of specialised segments of the security market

This impressive portfolio of brands sit together under the AD Group umbrella which means that as a group we have a solution to all the challenges encountered by security managers and integrators when faced with a complex security problem.

Borne out of the AD Group R & D team, all products carry the same innovative technology building blocks, offering unparalleled compatibility and seamless scalability allowing integration and control from a single user interface.

Consider the logistical problems faced by a typical Airport for example, where by sheer scale alone, the high costs associated with lengthy cable runs from cameras to centralised control equipment restricted the installation of security systems to the contains the terminal buildings. Using the network as the transport mechanism to distribute video, the DM DV-IP video servers provide unlimited scalability as they are installed at convenient points on the network close to the cameras significantly reducing cabling costs.

The Server working hand in hand with the DV-IP Decoder, provide security and IT convergence by delivering video from any camera, from any moment in time from anywhere in the installation. Disparate control rooms can be built using traditional high quality composite monitors in a familiar format to the Security Operator.

We have already established that there are significant benefits to be gained by utilising the IP network infrastructure. We can now look at how previously unconnected areas of security can now be brought together effectively within a seamless security environment.

There is more to Airport security than the cameras you see in the terminal buildings. The aircraft and ground based vehicles require the strictest surveillance. This is a high risk area for an Airport security manager, as can be left unattended for some time. Combined with the additional threat of fire in areas where highly flammable substances are handled, these disparate areas are difficult to police effectively.

TransVu mobile video recorders installed in ground based vehicles and AD Aerospace FlightVu recorders installed within the aircraft themselves can be linked to the integrated security solution managed from the terminal via a wireless LAN link. DTEC VSD products provide early warning through visual verification of the heat signature generated by smoke, long before it can be detected in volume by traditional smoke detection devices. Video together with passport data at baggage check in desks can be integrated and managed from one interface.

This impressive portfolio of names, built with the trademark “NetVu Connected” compatibility guarantee brought together under a seamlessly scalable and interoperable set of product offerings, take away the problems associated with sourcing security components from multiple manufacturers, all with different terms, warranties, protocols and interoperability problems.

The Group's shared technology base offers even greater benefits. Following the ratification of BS8418 in the UK, the AD Group make it easy for you to ensure that all aspects of your system meet the requirements of the Code of practice for the installation and remote monitoring of detector activated CCTV systems. From Dennard Dome Cameras, Dedicated Micros DV-IP Servers and New DS2 models right through to remote site management via Remguard’s Remote Video Response Centres, compliance comes as standard.

The AD Group’s ongoing commitment to best practice and raising standards in the Security Industry through our work with key industry bodies both in our home market and internationally will ensure that when you choose an AD CCTV solution you’re guaranteed quality, consistency and interoperability.
