Based near Goole in Humberside, IMDS is an ambitious Alarm Receiving Centre which holds the National Security Inspectorate's Gold standard including the prestigious BS8418 for CCTV. IMDS sees the roll-out of the CheckmyCCTV solution as an important, added-value, element to the service it will be able to offer CCTV monitoring clients. IMDS is also seeking to promote this remote CCTV fault-finding capability as a standalone option for sites that may not necessarily be interested in, or simply cannot afford, a full blown 24/7 CCTV monitoring service but want to know whether their surveillance infrastructure is in full working order.

Commented Darren Rewston, Managing Director at Checkmysystems Ltd: "Signing up IMDS is a positive step for us and adds to the list of high quality providers that have come on board with us over the past 12 months. We are certainly looking forward to working closely with IMDS as they roll-out CheckmyCCTV to new and existing customers and use their expertise to extend the scope of the applications where it can be successfully deployed."

Said Simon Vukasinovic, Director at IMDS: "Following a demonstration of CheckmyCCTV we trialled the solution which surpassed all of our expectations with the features offered. It has been extremely easy for our operators to pick up and run with, whether it be the on-screen 'traffic light warning' or the ability to integrate with Google maps so an interactive map of sites covered - and their status - can be readily displayed. When implemented CheckmyCCTV certainly provides a much more detailed and time efficient overview of equipment issues than more traditional approaches.

"Deciding to become a Checkmysystems' partner for CheckmyCCTV should unlock a tremendous range of opportunities for us, whether it be ensuring that the CCTV equipment on existing customer sites is fully operational, through remote fault checks, or looking to expand our customer base in new areas.

“A case in point are mission-critical sectors like utilities where, with the threat of metal theft, they simply cannot afford to leave any CCTV failures undetected."
