The already impressive capability of AD Group and specifically Dedicated Micros has been further extended with the move to bring the Dennard range of dome cameras - including the advanced 2040 and 2060 - CCTV hardware products and ancillaries, under the DM banner.
DM certainly has ambitious plans, building on the long track record of innovation and quality which Dennard, its Hampshire (UK) based subsidiary, has already demonstrated. Founded more than 40 years ago, Dennard has been one of CCTV’s true pioneers from the very start, constantly pushing the boundaries whether in the early days with pan and tilt mechanisms, and the very first camera housings, to more recently with advanced dome cameras.
It is expected, as a result of this new development that the uptake of the re-branded Dennard product portfolio will grow dramatically, supported by the promotion of these industry leading solutions to DM customers across the globe and a simplified procurement process for customers.
Dennard was acquired by DM back in 2003 and since that time the skills, expertise and business systems of the two organisations - both market leaders in their own right - have been brought ever closer together.
Driving Dome Camera Design
Looking at dome cameras in particular, Dennard has demonstrated a capacity to deliver effective solutions whatever the application. This is typified by the introduction of vandal and waterproof options, to make outdoor use a viable proposition. |

The robustness of the latest domes, which will in future be available through DM, is also evidenced by the widespread adoption of materials such as polycarbonate for the camera hemisphere. This makes them particularly attractive for exposed town centre environments where they have to face-up to potential attack from vandals. There is also the ability of dome cameras to be applied covertly, especially in the retail and leisure sectors where a less obtrusive form of surveillance is required.
Time and again Dennard dome cameras have been able to prove that beauty is more than skin deep as they have been constantly refined to enhance positional accuracy through the use of die cast mechanisms, tracking with features such as an auto flip facility; deliver low light performance - via specialized day/night cameras - and offer long-term durability.
Beyond Domes
Other key Dennard products, which now come under the DM banner, include: its full range of brackets to support housings and/or camera combinations; telemetry controllers including keyboards and base units; an extensive range of stylish dome and camera housings; IR illuminators - offering a cost effective solution to night time CCTV surveillance - and all important pan and tilt heads for smooth camera movement.
