Company history

IQinVision began as a technology merger between an Engineering Services firm, Gordian Technologies, and one of Gordian's customer's, a small startup company called "VISIQN" (literally 'IQ' within the word "Vision" with the Q replacing the O) that designed intelligent network cameras for the surveillance industry. The company changed its name to "IQinVision" early on to avoid confusion.

The company began designing, manufacturing and marketing megapixel/HD cameras.
