Nio® Security Inc., a provider of intelligent video security camera and DVR solutions for civilian security applications, announced it has signed a strategic agreement and alliance with Lenco Software AS, a respected developer of military GIS and 3D visualization software with additional NBC (Nuclear, Biological, Chemical) detection products.
The agreement gives Nio access to one of the most advanced 3D visualization and navigation software solutions available for maps and satellite images.  Also covered in the agreement is Lencos sophisticated alarm- and event management system that has already been adopted by several NATO countries as part of their national defence solution.  Lenco software will become the foundation of Nios new civilian control room solutions that fully leverage the companys auto-tracking EyeMax® video cameras and Tempest® networked digital video recording devices.
Under this agreement, Lenco will sell Nios advanced video surveillance products to the defence sector, while Nio will have the exclusive right to sell OEM versions of Lencos CODS 3D visualization software that have been adapted to the civilian market.  The civilian software will be sold under Nios brand through its worldwide certified dealer network.
Under the agreement, Lenco will continue to focus on the defence sector and sell Nios advanced video surveillance products in addition to its CODS multi-sensor command and control products.
"This major agreement will further strengthen Nios worldwide position as an innovator and market leader, while also enabling new software sales opportunities for the company which fully leverage Nios existing portfolio of video surveillance technologies," said Paul Fevang, CEO of Nio Security, Inc.  "By combining Lencos strong defence presence with Nios advanced video surveillance products and global distribution network, we can help drive significant growth for both businesses.  Based on our expectations of success, the two companies will evaluate even closer forms of cooperation in the future."
