During 2010, the developer of transmission and storage solutions for video surveillance systems took on three new US staff and moved to larger offices in Glen Rock, New Jersey.
Closer to home, Veracity UK moved to prestigious 7,200 square foot headquarters building on the Prestwick International Aerospace Park, adjacent to Prestwick Airport, and took on board four new members of staff during the past 12 months.
Such is the demand for the company’s award-winning Coldstore surveillance storage solution – together with its IP transmission products – Veracity is already making bold predictions about beating 2010’s growth figures (and profits) in 2011.
The company is due to hire four new staff in the US and seven in the UK, taking total headcount to 31 by the end of the year.
Coldstore secured its first three deployments in major UK city centres during 2010, and many video management systems providers have shown an interest in integrating with it as demand begins to grow.
Ahead of the business plan
Alastair McLeod, the managing director and founder of Veracity UK, explained: “We were five years old last October, and we’re now running ahead of our long-term business plan. We’re accelerating our product roadmap with new innovations in transmission and display technology for surveillance.”
In addition, McLeod told SMT Online: “We will also be increasing our investment in sales, partnerships and logistical support to continue the powerful sales momentum built last year.”
Coldstore is designed to store massive volumes of video data at low cost and high reliability, at the same time offering simple disk management and “unique” evidential handling options.
It’s specifically aimed at the megapixel camera market, where required disk capacities can be extremely high.
Coldstore can deliver high capacities with low cost, and serves as an ideal platform for the recently announced 3 Tb disk drives (allowing a massive 45 Tb of storage capacity per unit, but using a total of only 50 W of power).
Veracity’s low-cost, high-capacity technology will enable many megapixel camera projects previously not feasible due to considerations of cost, reliability, sheer capacity, total system power consumption or system density to finally become reality.
Solutions in the range of Outreach PoE network range extenders are designed to help installers overcome the distance restrictions of wired Ethernet.
Outreach Max transmits power via CAT 5 or 6 Ethernet cables to all types of PoE devices including standard PoE (IEEE 802.3af), PoE Plus (IEEE 802.3at), four-pair and even 60 W (or more) unclassified ‘Super’ PoE devices.
For installers requiring just a simple LAN extender, Veracity has also introduced Outreach Lite which allows Ethernet connections up to 200 metres without extending PoE.
PointSource: in situ adjustment for IP cameras
Veracity’s PointSource is a rechargeable PoE battery pack and network adaptor to provide 6-8 hours of in-field use, allowing installers to install, configure and adjust IP cameras and lenses in situ before site power has been established or PoE network switches installed.
PointSource is also ideal for field sales demonstration and testing of IP cameras as well as other PoE devices.
In essence, Veracity has developed a family of innovative products to support IP surveillance and general IT applications. These products solve practical connectivity problems in IP system design and deployment.
More generally, the company focuses on the development of transmission, storage and display solutions, having specific expertise in supporting megapixel network video systems.
