About Tim Jones

Welcome to Visimetrics, where innovation and security converge. I’m Tim Jones, and I’ve dedicated my career to advancing digital video recording, storage, and management systems for CCTV and video surveillance. From my humble beginnings in 1996 as a small start-up in Ayrshire, Scotland, I’ve grown into a global supplier within the electronic security market, known for providing cutting-edge security solutions backed by a world-class service culture.

At Visimetrics (UK) Ltd, we have always focused on pushing the boundaries of technology. Early on, I recognized the potential of digital video technology combined with IP networking, leading to the development of our groundbreaking OCTAR2000 product in the late 1990s. This innovation laid the foundation for my OCTAR range, offering scalable and easily integrated CCTV recording solutions for clients worldwide. Our commitment to excellence and innovation has enabled us to work closely with system integrators, consultants, and security installers to deliver tailored security solutions to meet the evolving needs of my customers.

In 2013, Visimetrics was acquired by Digital Barriers, a leader in surveillance technologies for homeland security and defense. This transition marked a new chapter for the company, allowing us to further refine my expertise and expand our offerings in the electronic security space. However, as technology continues to evolve, so do my interests and professional pursuits.
