HISTORY
Digital Surveillance Equipment (DSE), was established in 1996 in
Turin (Italy) with the clear goal o making professional CCTV equipment
affordable to everyone. The first DSE camera has been produced this year in the
Turin workshop. It was an easy to install wireless cameras for
small size CCTV system.
In 1997 DSE started the production of hardwire cameras based on the new state-of-the-art CCD SONY SUPERHAD, suitable for CCTV systems of any kind.
In 1998 DSE was one of the first companies in Italy choosing Internet as their exclusive sales channel.
Traditional sales method, with agents and resellers, were abandoned, being considered more expensive and less effective.
In 1999, while time-lapse tape-recorders was the only way of storing videos, DSE saw the potential of digital videorecording and launched its first generation of Windows-based DVR boards. The D-Vision range is still
today a leading product in the CCTV market.
In 2000 DSE stopped printing paper documents and decided to adopt the newly born PDF format as unique support for catalogues, price lists and manuals.
From the company web site, customers could download updated contents and no useless promotional costs had to be charged on the product price anymore.
In the same way DSE stopped investing in exhibitions and magazines ads, dedicating the whole badget to the Internet.
In 2003 DSE was one of the first companies in Europe to produce a waterproof camera with built-in infrared illuminator.
The RE-BCC6 included for the first time: camera, housing and 10 m. IR into a single product.
This new solution provided an unbeatable price/performance ratio and opened a new era in the CCTV market.
In 2006 DSE launched the first "Full D1" portable videorecorder suitable for police and detectives.
The DK range started a new segment of the CCTV market that expanded very quickly.
Today's DSE portable DVRs are as small as a lighter, including the camera.
In 2008 DSE moved all commercial and technical activities in the new offices in San Mauro Torinese, an Hi-Tech working space, built up from scratch on the green hills around Turin.
