“I’m excited to have Matt onboard to increase our sales coverage of the Mid-Atlantic region,” stated John Bujarski, Senior Sales Director, Eastern US and Canada. “He will work with our partners in the area to bring the new Arecont Vision Costar and our Total Video Solution to new and existing customers.”

“As a new company with a very large product family of industry-leading megapixel cameras, video recorders, and cloud-enabled VMS and web services, we have much to offer our customers that they can greatly benefit from,” said Mr. Bernfeld. “I look forward to assisting our partners to across the Mid-Atlantic region in bring Arecont Vision Costar to new and existing customers.”

Mark Wicinski is Arecont Vision Costar’s newest Field Application Engineer and brings a wealth of technical skills and experience in video, IT, and related disciplines.

Prior to joining the company, Mr. Wicinski’s career included technical assignments with Aimetis, 3VR, and DVTel in both individual contributor and management roles. He has earned numerous certifications for surveillance cameras as well as Cisco CCNP, Microsoft MCSE, and Comptia A+ ratings.

 

“Arecont Vision Costar has a long legacy of megapixel technology leadership, and its newest products are providing to be outstanding in terms of features, designs, and reliability,” stated Mr. Wicinski.  “Bringing this technology to our customers and working to ensure that they get the most from our megapixel cameras, video recorders, VMS, and cloud services is going to change how many use, administer, and support their surveillance systems.”

 

Based in New Jersey, Mr. Wicinski’s territory will provide technical assistance across much of the eastern United States and Canada.
