"To understand the importance of this partnership, one must move away from the concept of traditional video surveillance. In recent years, the needs of end-users have changed significantly. The new demand for video surveillance goes far beyond the concept of security. An intelligent solution offers end users a tangible return on investment," says MOBOTIX CEO Thomas Lausten.

Vijay Raghavan, Senior Vice President (SVP), Konica Minolta, United States, said "We focus on meeting our customers' individual video analytics needs, especially with Konica Minolta: Beyond the pure video image, data and information can be quickly managed and analysed. This creates tangible added value for our customers, think for example of customer behaviour analysis in retail or process monitoring in industry."
He adds, "By partnering with MOBOTIX in the U.S., Konica Minolta can bring its A.I. video capabilities together with a world-class partner that will enable us to take video security to the next level and protect our customers across all verticals."
