TDSi unveils new integrated solutions at Essen

Security Essen saw access control specialist TDSi unveil its new VUgarde IP video solution, as well as demonstrate a wide selection of systems from its reader, controller and software ranges. 

Speaking after the show, TDSi's Managing Director, John Davies, said: "We were absolutely delighted with the exhibition and particularly the great feedback we received both from our existing customers and from the new contacts we made there. With visitors from Germany, the Benelux countries, Eastern Europe, Turkey and the Middle East, we had the opportunity to fully demonstrate the versatility, functionality and integration capabilities of our access control and video solutions. This was the largest stand we had ever taken at Essen and it gave us a tremendous platform to showcase the breadth and depth of our range." 

At the heart of the company's stand was a preview of the new VUgarde system. Developed to deliver powerful yet straightforward surveillance, the cost-effective VUgarde range offers a suite of products for all requirements, from an entry level, stand-alone system capable of controlling up to 16 cameras, to VUgarde PRO, capable of managing hundreds of cameras from multiple video servers. Visitors saw demonstrations of both stand-alone and integrated options, and were particularly impressed with the functionality and capability of VUgarde when integrated with EXgarde, which enables users to seamlessly integrate video and access control.

EXgarde is the company's fully featured access management software solution; proven in projects throughout the world, EXgarde provides users with a wide range of integration, control and security management functionality. Fully compatible with Microsoft Windows 7 Professional and Ultimate software suites, as well as Microsoft Vista Business and Ultimate, EXgarde provides flexible expansion and integration options, with a wide range of building management systems including CCTV, intruder, fire alarm, lift control and energy management. 

John Davies concluded: "As one of the world's premier exhibitions, Security Essen provides a great opportunity for us to showcase our products to an international audience. With our full product development programme continuing to deliver innovative systems and solutions, we're already thinking ahead to the next event!"
