Intersec a hit for CBC

CBC (Europe) is celebrating a surge of interest in its Ganz CCTV systems and Computar lenses at the recent Intersec exhibition in Dubai.

The company says it was inundated with enquiries on its stand from a variety of visitors keen to know more about CBC´s latest equipment.

"Intersec 2010 has been a great event," says CBC´s export sales manager, Hassan Uddin Ahmed. "During the show we've talked in detail with a cross-section of installers, system integrators, end users, consultants, distributors from not just the Middle East but Africa and Europe. They've all been very excited by the new technology solutions we offer to a range of security issues and we're now helping them meet their system requirements."

On show at the CBC stand were a number of innovations including CBC´s new VCA video analytics packages, thermal imaging cameras and its latest application, MIST, which sharpens and increases CCTV camera visibility in conditions where fog, haze, smog, sand or rain impede outdoor video surveillance.
