Security 2008 in Essen was a record-breaking event. Guests from 115 nations used the opportunity to see the latest products and services offered by more than 1100 exhibitors. According to the fair management, during the first two days the numbers of visitors was already 8 per cent higher compared to the previous tradeshow.
Dallmeier reported an increased number of visitors on the stand: attendances grew by more than 56 per cent compared to Security 2006. Highlights on the stand were the new VideoIP range ‘a tribute to Amadeus’, the presentation of the VdS certificate for the VdS CertiSec Pack as well as the HD camera.
New VideoIP range
With the IP product line ‘a tribute to Amadeus’ Dallmeier has developed a VideoIP range. The product firm says that the most important thing is the harmonious interplay of all elements within the complete system.
With its VideoIP solutions, Regensburg-based Dallmeier says, it offers the customer everything from one source, coordinated. The individual components are tested in advance to guarantee an optimal interaction. Open interfaces facilitate connection with third-party products and complete systems. Dallmeier, as a provider of complete solutions, assumes responsibility for the entire system. The customer is given one contact for all questions.
Presentation of the VdS certificate
For the first time worldwide, the loss prevention company VdS GmbH, a company of the German Insurance Association (GDV), has not just certified an individual CCTV product but a complete video surveillance system, the VdS CertiSec Pack.
The first – and so far only – VdS certificate for a digital video recorder was awarded to Dallmeier electronic GmbH & Co.KG in 2002 for its Digital Video Recorder model DMS 180 III.
The official presentation of the certificate took place during the press conference at Security 2008. Mr Grundmann, the head of the laboratories for security applications at the VdS, handed over the certificate to Dieter Dallmeier, founder and President & CEO of Dallmeier electronic GmbH & Co.KG. Dieter Dallmeier said: “Quality and reliability have always been top priorities for Dallmeier. The VdS certificate is further evidence that those values are not merely marketing terms but rather that our high quality standards are also confirmed by an independent testing centre which enjoys international reputation. That gives our customers further assurance and shows us that we are on the right track following our corporate philosophy ‘Quality made by Dallmeier – Quality made in Germany’.
HD – High Definition
Another highlight at the stand was the presentation of a new development in the area of cameras: the HD camera. "The development of megapixel cameras for the area of security is increasingly turning out to be a dead end. The megapixel technology was initially developed for still picture applications i.e. digital photography. It is only conditionally suited for video. Therefore we have been focussing on the HD-TV video standard from the beginning”, said Dieter Dallmeier.
Dallmeier adds that it will also orientate towards TV standard when it comes to higher resolutions because only those standards guarantee the highest quality for video security applications.
