Motorola Solutions acquires Italian security camera company

CHICAGO - Motorola Solutions Thursday said it has acquired Videotec S.p.A., a global provider of ruggedized video security cameras based in Italy.

Financial terms of the acquisition were not disclosed.

Videotec's fixed and panning, tilt and zoom cameras are designed to withstand the extreme conditions and hazardous environments of critical infrastructure, specifically sea ports, energy and transportation locations, where video security is imperative.

Videotec's portfolio enables security operators to have clear visibility across these settings to quickly detect and respond to abnormal events or dangerous situations, reducing safety threats and supporting business continuity, Motorola said.

"Protecting the security and operational continuity of critical infrastructure is vital to our cities and businesses," said Greg Brown, chairman and CEO, Motorola Solutions. "With Videotec's specialized suite of cameras, we're extending the breadth of our portfolio to help secure and support the demanding environments of these complex, essential industries."

The acquisition of Videotec complements Motorola Solutions' line of fixed video cameras, expanding its portfolio and reinforcing the company's position as a global leader in video security solutions.
