Moving ahead, Jon will be able to apply his considerable security industry expertise to this new role with AD Network Video. Most recently he spent four years at GE Security, latterly as a Regional Sales Director where he was responsible for the successful management of product sales across eight US states and, prior to this, was an award-winning District Manager and Engineering Solutions Sales Specialist. Before joining GE Security, Jon spent 12 years with Trans-Alarm Inc. in Burnsville, MN, as a Security Systems Integrator and Systems Design Manager.

Throughout his career Jon has regularly been called upon to support all parts of the security supply chain, whether that be direct dealers or end users in key vertical markets from manufacturing to healthcare, knowledge which will prove invaluable in his position with AD Network Video. Before joining the security sector, Jon was a Design and Test, Manufacturing Technician at both 3M Corporation and Seagate Technology. His interest in technology started in the US Marine Corps where he spent six years as an Avionics Systems Technician.

Said Jon VanDiver: "I am looking forward to the opportunities offered by this new position. The sheer scope of what AD Group and its subsidiaries can offer through NetVu Connected CCTV solutions on the ground, in the air and on the move - with Dedicated Micros possibly its most recognizable brand in the US - is I believe unparalleled in the marketplace, built on heritage which stretches back almost 30 years.

"In fact AD Group can even has access to its own silicon through Boston-based ChipWrights and its Visual Signal Processors (ViSPs). Having the AD Network Video business in place, provides the real potential to seamlessly draw on this Group-wide expertise and demonstrate to those responsible for large-scale projects that is perfectly possible to integrate key elements, whether that be emergency messaging or mobile CCTV, all from  one point of contact at the specification and purchasing stage. The fact that all the surveillance solutions offered are based on an embedded, non-PC operating system is also a key advantage when it comes to maintaining a robust security infrastructure in enterprise level projects.
