Hauppauge, NY, Sept 1, 2007 – Vicon Industries Inc., a leading designer and producer of digital and IP video surveillance systems, has been designated by PEPPM to be an “awarded vendor” for security camera equipment. PEPPM is a nation-wide technology bid-protection program serving educational agencies, county governments and local municipalities.

 This relationship will provide benefits to both Vicon and qualifying PEPPM organizations. Agencies that place orders through PEPPM will purchase products at the most current, lowest available price, eliminating the bid process and expediting procurement. They will also benefit from the thorough investigation and selection process performed by PEPPM before designating “awarded vendors” for each product category.

 Procedures for placing orders through PEPPM are documented on the organization’s website: www.PEPPM.org. The site also includes a complete listing of available Vicon products.

“With security such a hot topic within the educational community, we hope that our affiliation with PEPPM encourages school officials to seriously consider what Vicon products can offer. We realize that PEPPM awards contracts only to top performing technology manufacturers and we at Vicon are proud to be among this select group,” says Susanne Ruse, Inside Sales Manager at Vicon.
