"We plan to offer the installer a one-stop depot, where they can purchase all their security needs - from security alarm panels, electric fencing, infrared detection equipment, remote control receivers and transmitters, gate motors and CCTV equipment as well as all installation hardware and tools.

"In order to offer a fully comprehensive range of products QD has formed strategic alliances with various other manufactures and suppliers - Reditron for CCTV, Hydro Doors and MMA Electric Fencing."
