(BUSINESS
WIRE)-- ImmerVision, the inventor of the 360-degree panomorph lens and

With more than 22 years
of combined experience in leading sales, channel management, business

and report to the Chief Commercial Officer, Alessandro Gasparini.
Walter
was previously VP of Business Development for Chinasoft International,

Sales of MCS Fire & Security and Strategic Sales Manager for GE
Security. He earned his MBA from the University of Pittsburgh, Katz

“During my time at MCS Fire &
Security, I saw ImmerVision Enables® as the 360-degree video standard in
the same respect as H.264 is the standard for video compression in the
security industry for cameras and video management systems,” said
Wallace. “This is a very exciting time for the company and the industry,
and I’m very happy to be part of it.”
“For the past seven years,
we have seen the growing role of 360-degree in video surveillance and
the adoption of panomorph lenses as the super wide-angle optical
technology that overcomes the challenges of image quality, performance
and compatibility,” said Gasparini. “Walter and his global team will
work with integrators, consultants, lens manufacturers, camera vendors
and software developers, to increase the value of video surveillance for
the end-user.”
Walter Wallace and the ImmerVision team will be
at ISC West in Las Vegas, NV, Booth 6115, April 10-12 at the Sands Expo
