If you think that security cameras are for professionals only, think again. Last month, Secret e-Source Distribution Incorporated introduced the do-it-yourself security solutions of Swann Global.

"Swann has set the industry standard for success in surveillance camera worldwide, especially for a do-it-yourself product integrity. Since its establishment in the Asian region, it is now set to conquer the market by bringing various influences offering fresh new innovative products with special focus on cuting edge technologies," said Mr. Alanbain M. Garcia, General Manager of Secret e-Source Distribution Inc.

Swann is an Australian company established in 1988 as an IT company started making Macintosh modems which evolved into security 10 years ago. Currently, Swann has become the international leader in home and office security distributed through retail channels. They carry a full range of products that focus 100% on the "do-it-yourself" or "plug 'n play" category.

"In the past, your wife or husband would say "Look, I want a camera for home," "I want to put a camera on the front door," "I want to put a camera to monitor the baby's room," or "I want to put a camera for my business." The perception you woud have is that CCTV is complex and technical, maybe it's expensive and you would have to hire a professional to install one, and it's all too much effort. What Swann has done is we've built solutions that are designed for the retail channel so you can just walk in and grab it from the shelf," said Mr. Dennis Freedman, General Manager, Global Business Development

Security cameras offered by Swann includes color cameras, weatherproof day/night cameras, wireless cameras, baby monitors, and portable security cameras and monitors. They also offer various security monitor kits, accessories, and monitor switchers.

"Security has a massive growth category for consumer electronics, for the IT sector, and for do-it-yourself retails. Obviously, with what's going on in the world (like the September 11, the London bombing, and all other things) people are becoming security-aware more than ever. And this is where Swann come into play," added Freedman

Aside from security products, Swann still have a small division that looks after some IT products, like their Flash Club mini optical USB mouse that continuously flashes multiple colors (which is also distrubuted in the Philippines along with Swann Security products). (Carlo S. Suerte Felipe)
