Aimetis Corp.,a global leader in intelligent IP video management software announced that it has attained Axis Communications  highest partner membership echelon, as Gold Application Development Partner (ADP). "We are excited to achieve Axis Gold-level ADP status," said Marc Holtenhoff, CEO, Aimetis Corp. "It gives us an edge with customers in areas such as early pre-release information and priority support from Axis. This is important, since our distributors and customers have expressed a strong interest in network video solutions from Axis."

Axis' ADP programme assists software developers in fully integrating Axis network video products in end- user solutions, by providing application components such as VAPIX ,technical documentation, SDKs, and dedicated development support. Through this partnership, Aimetis is able to work with Axis on a global basis to provide best-in-class solutions to their mutual customers.

For example, the Serbian City of Novi Sad has implemented Aimetis Symphony video management and video analytics software as well as 1,000 Axis HDTV network cameras to successfully decrease criminal activity and enhance traffic logistics.

Axis network cameras were installed throughout public places in the city for use 24 hours per day. Axis network cameras provide HDTV-standard resolutions, 16:9 aspect ratio and day/night functionality.

"Symphony's ability to meet our video management and analytics needs in one software platform with a cost-effective IP surveillance infrastructure made it a clear choice for the project," said Vladimir Knezevi, chief technical officer, JKP Informatika Novi Sad. "Combined with the value of the Axis network cameras, this successful city surveillance project is an exemplary model for other city governments that are striving toward better city development and growth in the future."

As a result of this implementation, Serbia's second largest city reports that its citizens have realised increased security as levels of theft and vandalism have decreased. In addition, city officials say that Novi Sad has experienced vast improvements in traffic logistics. "City surveillance is quickly becoming one of the fastest growing verticals in our industry, with local leaders searching for the best and most innovative technology to protect their citizens and property," said Fredrik Nilsson, general manager, Axis Communications Inc. "Because Aimetis has earned the distinction as one of our Gold Application Development Partners, we can work closely together to anticipate customer needs and stay ahead of demand to deliver intelligent solutions in every vertical market to protect people all around the globe with superior video surveillance."
