Global Partners Summit: Idis Sharpens Strategic Vision

A summit of international security and video surveillance specialists, hosted by Idis in Seoul, South Korea, focused on some of the key drivers that will shape the global video market over the next three years.

The growing importance of upcoming innovations in AI, recording and camera technology, network security, extended warranties and the need for increasingly powerful VMS capabilities were among topics discussed at the event.

Delegates from around the world got their first opportunity to see the second iteration of Idis Deep Learning Analytics (IDLA). Version 2.0 IDLA sets new market benchmarks with accuracy of 96% and a speed of up to 200ips permitting analysis of 32 channels simultaneously.

Further, IDLA does not need additional processing power, meaning users will not have to upgrade existing hardware. When IDLA becomes commercially available early next year, Idis will stay committed to its promise of a low total cost of ownership by giving users access to both standard and advanced analytical functionality, such as appearance searching, through just one simple and affordable license.

The summit also focused on the importance of secure design and manufacturing to dispel common market concerns around ‘backdoors’ and how the use of Idis proprietary protocols harden network security. The agenda also covered sector specific application developments in key markets where Idis solutions are increasingly being adopted, including large scale projects in the Asia, Europe, the Middle East and the United States.

Held over two days, the annual summit has grown in scope over the last three years and is now an important diary date for those attending. It is seen as a chance to network with leading market specialists from around the world to share lessons from projects which are frequently at the cutting edge.

The summit is also used an opportunity to focus on business development, with Idis working closely with its partners to refine its marketing and media strategy for the coming year, to share the latest information about market trends and insights, and to drive product development and continual improvements in technical support.

This long term, collaborative approach between Idis and its business partners is a key element of the company’s growth strategy. It is this customer-focused drive that has seen Idis grow continuously since 1997 to become Korea’s largest video surveillance manufacturer, with regional operations now expanding across over 50 countries.

Concluding the summit, Idis Chief Executive Officer, Y.D. Kim, presented 2018 Business Partner Awards to three companies – Avix (Russia), Trinet (Singapore) and Red Office (Bangladesh) - in recognition of their commitment to a close partnership and their outstanding performance over the last year.
