The History of Luxriot EVO :

When you buy Luxriot EVO you open up your IP CCTV cameras to a host of carefully designed features and integration options. Working with key integrators, such as Videcom, Luxriot are continually developing EVO, updating and adding features, new camera models and making improvements to the mobile and monitor applications. As part of your software licence you can take advantage of these updates and upgrades to your Luxriot EVO software for two years after registering. After this period you can add optional EVO software upgrade plans for an additional 2 years or 8 years. We always recommend you protect your software investment by carefully considering these optional software update plans.

Since these early days of initial training and installation Videcom Security have worked closely with the team at Luxriot, with ongoing training, recommending new features and development opportunity as well as continuing to sell, promote, install and upgrade EVO installations. Below we have highlights of the Evolution of Luxriot EVO, with new version features as the software evolves from release 1.2 onwards with 1.7 being released only 20 months after the original launch. There have already been some great leaps forward and although the EVO brand remains very recognisable EVO continues to evolve and grow in strength, highlights for Videcom Security include Geo Maps, External Serial Data and h265 support.
