AD Corporate

AD Logo The AD Group was established in 1997, its primary objective being to create and bring to market leading edge CCTV solutions. The pioneering nature of the Group's products, with the emphasis very much on R&D, has undoubtedly been a critical element in AD's success to date. Since its formation AD's growth has been remarkable, with turnover soaring from Ł930k in 1998 to Ł84 million in 2006.

Shared Technology Base

The principal shareholder of AD is Mike Newton who founded UK CCTV giant Dedicated Micros in 1982 which ranks No1 globally for multi channel digital video recorders. In 2001 Dedicated Micros became an integral part of the AD Group. Since that time all AD companies have been able to take advantage of a shared technology base, offering the potential for flexible CCTV solutions on the ground, in the air and on the move.

Diverse Range of Applications

One of the first companies to embrace the concept of video over IP, AD's interests now include CCTV systems for aircraft, transport and smoke detection, together with camera technology and digital video recorders and multiplexers.

AD Offices Take a trip on a transatlantic jet, for example, and AD companies could very well have supplied the video servers dropped into the airport's IT network to monitor your progress as a passenger through to the gate; mobile CCTV recorders to keep track of groundside vehicles and, when on board, specialised internal cameras/recorders to monitor the cabin environment and, externally, to ensure that the undercarriage has deployed correctly.

The Group is firmly committed to the implementation of effective CCTV standards and its senior personnel play an active role in key industry bodies, helping to drive best practice in critical areas from detector activated CCTV (BS 8418:2003) to digital video evidence.

Outside of CCTV the Group's interests include the operation of an aircraft charter business to destinations across Europe and sponsorship of global motorsport, supporting entrants in prestige events ranging from the Le Mans 24 Hours to the FIA GT Championship.
