VMP Appoints KLM Marketing as New Representative for Mid Atlantic RegionVideo Mount Products, a provider of mounting solutions for the security, AV, and communications industries, is proud to announce that it has appointed KLM Marketing its new factory representative for the mid-Atlantic region (MD., VA., DE., and eastern PA) effective Sept. 1. KLM will work primarily with VMP in the security market and will support other low voltage channels, as well.

“As security continues to be an ever-expanding and increasingly important market for VMP, we needed a representative with a successful and established history in this vital territory,” explained Keith Fulmer, president of Video Mount Products. “KLM has everything we were searching for, and we are looking forward to working with them.”

Mechanicsville, VA-based KLM Marketing was established in 2002 to represent security manufacturers in the mid-Atlantic region. It has a team of six people of which four are field reps who are based throughout the territory and are available to visit customers in their region. KLM offers system design, sales/technical training and site visits, striving for total customer support. Much of KLM’s growth has come due to its ability to work closely with end users and fit their needs with solid solutions.

“KLM strives to partner with dealers, distributors, consultants and end users to design and specify best of breed security solutions to make our world a little safer,” said Paul Walter, KLM partner. “We represent top-tier manufactures and are consistently recognized by our brands as being one of the best rep agencies in our industry. For example, KLM has been Aiphone’s ‘Rep of the Year’ in 2010, 2011 and 2012. VMP has had a strong presence and has been well respected in the security market for a long time, and we are excited and proud to work with Keith [Fulmer] and his team.”

    Years ago, it would have been significantly more expensive to run an analytic like that — requiring a custom-built solution with burdensome infrastructure demands — but modern edge devices have made it accessible to everyone. It also saves time, which is a critical factor if a missing child is involved. Video compression technology has played a critical role as well. Over the years, significant advancements have been made in video coding standards — including H.263, MPEG formats, and H.264—alongside compression optimization technologies developed by IP video manufacturers to improve efficiency without sacrificing quality. The open-source AV1 codec developed by the Alliance for Open Media—a consortium including Google, Netflix, Microsoft, Amazon and others — is already the preferred decoder for cloud-based applications, and is quickly becoming the standard for video compression of all types.
