I got email on Tuesday from my friend and colleague Garrett Smith over and VoIP Supply letting me know they've launched IPCameraSupply.com. IPCameraSupply.com is an eCommerce site focused on the emerging IP surveillance marketplace. As unified communications grows and gains momentum, video, CCTV and surveillance solutions are becoming more and more common, particularly in campus environments.

The IP surveillance marketplace is extremely similar to the VoIP marketplace in that both industries are evolutions of legacy analog technologies. This is an exciting time for VoIP Supply. It's their first eCommerce initiative in a new marketplace and the next step in their plans to launch multiple niche eCommerce sites in emerging technology sectors. With IPCameraSupply.com, VoIP Supply hopes to bring to the IP surveillance marketplace the same high levels of customer service, support and industry evangelism that they've delivered to the VoIP marketplace with VoIP Supply.

Launched on Monday, IPCameraSupply.com is VoIP Supply’s first entrance into the IP/CCTV surveillance and recording marketplace and the third Internet Retailer they have launched over the past three years. This announcement comes on the heels of VoIP Supply’s recent nomination to the Inc 500 list of fastest growing privately held companies in America.

“With the launch of IPCameraSupply.com our organization is taking another step towards becoming the leading multi-niche, emerging technologies Internet Retailer in North America,” stated Benjamin P. Sayers, CEO of VoIP Supply. “Customers, vendors and business partners of IPCameraSupply.com will experience the same high level of product knowledge, exceptional customer service, technical support and ease of doing business that they have come to expect from VoIP Supply. We are committed to making IPCameraSupply.com the leading Internet Retailer for IP/CCTV surveillance and recording related products in the very near future using these same core principles that we used to propel VoIP Supply to the industry leading position it current holds.”

“CCTV, as an analog, legacy ecosystem for surveillance, monitoring and recording, is on the same evolutionary path to IP that we are currently seeing in telephony,” stated Cory Andrews, Director of New Market Initiatives at VoIP Supply. “Users are migrating from proprietary, hardware based platforms to more open and flexible IP software based platforms. At the same time, the industry is enduring the same challenges in terms of protocol standardization and product interoperability. VoIP Supply is accustomed to operating within a marketplace that is in a constant state of flux. We intend to leverage our experience, operational efficiency and technical know-how with IPCameraSupply.com to help businesses with their surveillance, monitoring and recording needs.”
