Security surveillance pays for Aussie developer

Australian surveillance technology developer, Zylotech, has hit July running with two new projects and the announcement of orders just short of $4 million for 2008.

Australian building products supplier, CSR, has chosen to secure its factories with Zylotech’s Smart G Enterprise Protection surveillance system, starting with the Bradford insulation manufacturing plant in Ingleburn NSW.

According to Nicholas Sikiotis, CEO at Zylotech, the overall plant management system was designed and integrated by Soundfreq. It encompasses CCTV, access control, perimeter fencing and intercoms.

“[Soundfreq’s] overall integrated shield system integrates seamlessly with Zylotech’s Smart G Enterprise Protection system in real time,” he said.

The win comes off the back of Zylotech’s recent announcement that it had been awarded the stage 1 contract of a multi stage project by Pittwater Council in NSW. The project has recurring – “almost monthly” – upgrades to Pittwater Council’s security surveillance program dubbed – SafeCity, said Sikiotis.

He claimed the project will be worth around $180,000 by the time all three stages are completed. “Zylotech’s SafeCity prospects have been enhanced since our equipment in now specified by name and as a result, we are in the final stages of negotiations with 11 other large councils.”

According to Sikiotis, orders were at the highest ever for the Australian company: “Around $1.7 million received just in the September 2007 quarter have been further boosted by a number of successes totalling an amount just short of $4 million sales orders for 2008, an increase of 400 percent compared to last year,” he said.

Other major wins for Zylotech include security projects for Telstra stadium, Vodafone, the National Gallery of NSW (Stages one and two), eight large city council wins and ongoing deployments for Qantas and RMIT, said Sikiotis.
