Video security and surveillance systems 547 Vicon Industries has completed the previously announced merger with IQinVision, a designer and producer of high performance HD/megapixel IP cameras. The merger creates a global market leader of integrated solutions to the video security market.

Vicon chairman and CEO Ken Darby said of the merger, “We are delighted to join forces with IQinVision. The combination of highly regarded brands within the security industry allows us to bring a compelling and complete video solution to our customers.”
