Axis Communications, continued its annual tradition of recognising the outstanding performance of its partners when it recently held its VIP Partner Event and 2013 awards.
Axis invited 40 of its top-performing gold partners from across the Northern European region to the VIP Partner Event held in Copenhagen, Denmark. The theme for the event was ‘experience smarter video surveillance’ and aimed to reinforce how effective partnerships could drive market growth.
The 2013 award categories and winners were:
Heathrow Airport catered for over 70 million passengers last year, and with the redevelopment of Heathrow Terminal 2 set to be complete in 2014, it demanded a state-of-the-art video surveillance system be installed by Tyco/ADT; an integrator with a pedigree in delivering enterprise security projects.
Reflecting a trend of video applications beyond security and surveillance, 2020 Vision’s solution demonstrates the positive role IP video can play in today’s world. An innovative audio-visual monitoring solution providing 24-hour situational awareness, designed to significantly improve the lives of a family caring for their son who suffered severe brain damage at birth.
Having shown phenomenal growth over the last 12 months, Securitas continues to go from strength to strength in embracing and leading with IP solutions across the region. Its remote video solution has gained significant momentum in the market and includes a prestigious installation in Tivoli, Copenhagen.
With a stellar performance in the last year, Tyco/ADT has embraced IP across its business, reinforced by a significant investment in Axis Academy training for their personnel. Following on from its tremendous success in securing high-profile projects across segments spanning retail, transportation, healthcare and stadiums / venues.
Against a backdrop of a wider industry debate about regulation and systems installed according to best practice, this company has seen the value in achieving certified professional partner status, providing reassurance to their end user customers that their installation team have achieved the highest possible accreditation with the market leader in network video.
Atul Rajput, regional director, Northern Europe at Axis Communications said: “We have a proud history of constantly working with our partners to achieve industry excellence. Our VIP partner event allows us to reward our top-performing partners, giving them the recognition they deserve.
“The convergence to IP video has meant far more opportunities for our partners and we are working closely with them to help them capitalise on these.
“All the award winners have demonstrated that they possess a level of knowledge that marks them out as leaders in this fast-paced market and I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate them on their achievements.”

“ Being able to view the footage on our phones in real time and flick between the different cameras in the café is great. We can zoom in on different areas and slow down or speed up the playback.” Jaya Da Costa, Owner of the Pause Cat Café.
“The Axis cameras have proved exactly the right fit for London Underground here at Canary Wharf station. As we move to 24-hour operation on London Underground stations in a few months’ time, reliability and ease of maintenance are all key operational requirements. Axis cameras have met all these needs and I anticipate they will be deployed in other Jubilee Line extension stations as they are upgraded over the next few years.” Dave Perry, Delivery Manager, Station Capital Expenditure, London Underground.
“ Chester Zoo now has a video security platform which is highly reliable, expandable and future-proof. We know that whatever our requirement in terms of security intelligence, video analytics and integration, it’s now possible with our new IP video system. Speed and appropriateness of response to threats is now assured.” Nigel Peers, Security Manager, Chester Zoo.
“Observit offers a turnkey solution that gives you complete control of the entire process, from simple installation to monitoring of the cameras in each bus and the collection of image material. The entire process is covered in a highly functional and quality manner.” Bram Lauwers, Product Manager Digital Services at Nobina.
“Our analogue system was no longer as innovative as it once was; upgrading to HD IP camera technology made complete sense to us as we strive to maintain our status as the leading event facility in Northern Ireland.” Brian Hughes, Group Head of Facilities at The Odyssey Complex.
“Today the new system is only used if there is a security incident. But in the future we expect managers in specialist areas like visual merchandising to access cameras to assess whether agreed store layouts for new lines are being observed and whether these are working for store visitors.” Lee Bingham, Head of IT, Paul Smith.
“Wireless cameras on the front of the buildings have proven to be a huge asset. Following the initial installation, we noticed an individual attaching a scanner to the cash machine. We’d never had this additional vision before and therefore would not have identified this fraudulent activity prior to the installation.” Phil Parker, Venue Operations Manager at Twickenham Stadium.
