SCS Distribution has been appointed the exclusive distributor for Africa for Milestone, leader in intelligent IP video surveillance. Milestone has more IP video cameras attached to its software than any other supplier with over 87 000 connected cameras worldwide.
Milestone`s software supports all major camera suppliers, with a range of offerings for different size organisations, from a single server supporting up to 16 cameras up to multi-server systems supporting 64 cameras per server, and with applications supporting specific requirements such as retail, banking, education, transport and logistics, and healthcare.
Roy Alves, Managing Director of SCS Distribution, states: "Milestone is the perfect complement to our distribution of Axis IP video cameras. Axis was recently confirmed as the world leader in IP video, and Milestone is the leader in IP video management software.
"SCS can now offer best of breed in both hardware and management systems. We are proud to add Africa and South Africa in particular to the 50+ countries where Milestone already operates."
Founded in 1998, Milestone has achieved outstanding organic growth with its systems, featuring for the last two years in Deloitte`s Fast Technology 500 EMEA company list with growth rates of 349% followed by 416% - an achievement particularly notable for being paired with a Dun & Bradstreet AAA rating.
