In an example of the crossover of networking and IT and security, networking product distributor Mayflex has added new ranges to its portfolio, such as IP surveillance cameras from Mobotix.
Formed in 1999 in Germany Mobotix has developed products for LAN and traditional security installation companies to use in surveillance and monitoring over standard twisted pair cabling such as Category 5e.
The Mobotix product range is sold in 30 countries with users and applications in every imaginable field, from the Antarctic research centres to more conventional home and office use. With just 3pc, the distributor reports, of the CCTV cameras installed in the UK estimated to be digital the potential market for IP network based camera systems is enormous, the Birmingham-based distributor claims. To assist it resellers in taking full advantage of this opportunity Mayflex have appointed Ray Heppell as product manager for the Mobotix range; Ray helped to launch the product set into the UK.
Commenting on the launch of Mobotix, Kenny Presly Business Development Director at Mayflex said: "Generally speaking margins are under pressure in the cabling market, we are therefore committed to bringing regular new – yet related – products to the market, to assit both ourselves and our customer in enhancing revenue and margin opportunities at each and every installation. The Mobotix products is a great example of this strategy. Our sales and technical support teams are trained and ready to assist with any requirements, and we will be travelling the country to bring our customers up to speed on these new ranges and the significant sales potential they offer."
