Prior to DVTel, Ireland sharpened his technical and market expertise as owner and president of DI Associates, a security consultancy. Previously, Ireland was a regional manager at Securac Inc., a provider of risk and compliance management software and services, and at Access Direct Sales, Inc., a manufacturers representatives company, where he designed security systems for government, education, and private sector clients.

"We continue to experience unprecedented worldwide demand for our award-winning HD and megapixel video surveillance systems," said Dave Tynan, vice president of global sales at Avigilon.

Based in Ontario, Ireland will manage all sales activities pertaining to Eastern Canadian markets including Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, Newfoundland, and Labrador. Ireland will manage customer, integrator, and consultant relationships by providing technical expertise and onsite support, and will provide end-user feedback to Avigilon to help implement product enhancements and new product releases.

"Avigilon's end-to-end surveillance system, with its high quality megapixel cameras and the industry's only open enterprise video management software designed specifically for HD performance, is truly unequalled in the surveillance industry today," said Dan Ireland. "I am excited to be part of a dynamic, growing company that is changing the face of surveillance."
