Vidimon is the new and exciting products division of Farco Technologies Limited. It was created to specialize in and distribute the Traffic Management and Enforcement products, which were previously a branch of the Farco line of motion detection innovations.
Farco Technologies is a successful company providing video-based motion detection technology to a global market. The founder of Farco Technologies, Farshad Nourozi, holds a number of patents and has considerable background and knowledge in the areas of image processing, communications and home automation technologies. Video image processing is a particular area of expertise and is the basis for the current range of sensing products.
Farco's core technology is a chip which detects motion through a video camera. This means that it is no longer necessary to couple an external sensor to a camera as the motion detection trigger. Sales have grown dramatically with products now sold to nine countries including some blue chip companies.
