Specialist recording and storage systems manufacturer, Visimetrics, has appointed a new Business Development Manager to focus on the company's growing IP-centric recording solutions.

Mark Blackwood joins the company with more than 20 years security industry experience, most recently at ADI where he was responsible for business development of IP-based CCTV solutions.

Mark will be supporting current and future customers with system design and technical consultancy specifically in the area of IP-based distributed recording solutions. Commercial Director, Craig Howie, confirms "We are delighted to welcome Mark to the company. His extensive expertise in the field of IP-based systems will benefit the growth of our highly successful NVR solutions, OCTAR Net and OCTAR Net Array in particular."

Blackwood said: "Visimetrics has an extensively proven array of very high quality recording solutions to meet the requirements of almost any application. It was important to me to work closely with a technology driven company where I could feed customers requirements directly into the development cycle. The technical capability of Visimetrics, particularly when considering the progression of IP-based recording systems, was a major lure personally and a significant benefit in quickly delivering solutions to customers needs."
