Company Profile

Founded in 1995, Aralia has provided 'intelligent' surveillance solutions since 1997, making it one of the oldest and best-established companies in the intelligent surveillance market. Conceived as a solution to secure transportation and critical infrastructure applications, Aralia’s software was designed to enhance the overall security of rail systems, airports and public buildings.

In the mid 2000’s, the product was radically enhanced to become a video data mining system based around relational databases and a GUI that uses Internet Explorer. In 2010, the product was again re-imagined as a complete single source C2 solution. The current application has more than 1 million lines of software code.

For 10 years, Aralia has worked with public, private and government organizations with mission critical security requirements. A strong international team of engineers and support staff work together to improve and enhance our software and support existing systems. Our headquarters are located in Horsham, West Sussex, England and the US office is located in Baltimore, Maryland.
