Cisco Systems may take over another video surveillance vendor BroadWare. BroadWare develops and distributes video surveillance systems that run over standard IP networks for government organisations and private companies. The camera networks can be accessed and managed over the web.

BroadWare represents Cisco’s second purchase of a video surveillance vendor in as many years. Last year the company purchased SyPixx which made software for viewing analogue surveillance video over IP.

Such purchases by cisco are in a direction to create combined packages, that will allow it to offer security products for analogue and digital surveillance systems.
