Company History

IQinVision began as a technology merger between an Engineering Services firm, Gordian Technologies, and one of Gordian's customer's, a small startup company called "VISQN" (literally 'IQ' within the word "Vision" with the Q replacing the O) that designed intelligent network cameras for the surveillance industry. The merger combined Gordian's network switch expertise with VISQN's imaging expertise, and IQinVision was born. The company began by OEM'ing to Phillips (later acquired by Bosch) for Phillip's "eDome" a 360-degree 'immersive' surveillance camera that Phillips never successfully released. Though not a success, eDome gave the new Merger, now called "IQinVision" the chance to work out the fundamental's of combining a robust network stack with surveillance megapixel imaging and on-board camera analytics.
