What is Adder Digital Technology Ltd?
Adder Digital Technology Ltd (Company number 389056)providing a range of services and related activities. The business provides a internationally available range of Digital Video recorders, with bespoke integration with POS and other data sources.
Adder has used its research & development resources to diversity its core digital CCTV technology and link it with sophisticated data analytics software, facial biometrics solutions and automatic number plate recognition to achieve a variety of identification and management functions.  This move has enabled Adder to use its CCTV Integration Platform (CIP), firstly, for a range of uses in both site protection and loss prevention deployments.
Secondly, the technology has been innovatively adapted for parallel use in non-security applications, such as the education sector, where it’s marketed as the eyeTeach system –an audio/visual teaching aid for schools, colleges and universities. Alongside this education sector expansion, Adder has diversified the CIP technology for applications in the downstream fuel sector, combining surveillance cameras with advanced data analytics software.
Meanwhile, the company’s Analytic Retail Solution is also in use in the retail sector, enabling custom designed analytics tools to benefit customers by analysing unusual or suspect trading activity, while also providing a range of management information to help improve store revenue.
