"This new business partnership provides a great opportunity for us to increase our activities in Ireland," said Mel Hatchard, Deputy Managing Director of Vicon.

"We will continue to offer customers every aspect of our traditional support structure including system design and specification work, whilst Norbain's well established sales channel in Ireland under the management of Peter Ball, will ensure that all of our customers will be able to call upon the best possible post-sales support."

Vicon is one of the world's largest independent CCTV manufacturers offering fully engineered solutions based on both traditional analogue and the latest network digital products.  The company's sustained commitment to R&D underscores an ability to be a one stop provider of high performance CCTV solutions from a simple stand-alone camera/DVR application through to a networked DVR installation or a full IP video network system.

Commenting on the agreement, Dermot Grace, Commercial Director of Upperpoint Holdings, the parent company of Norbain SD said:  "We are delighted to have been appointed Vicon's sole distributor in Ireland.  Vicon's impressive product range together with their system design support will add much to our mid to high end activity in what is a dynamic and growing market."
