The final member of the Dedicated Micros' Board in the Americas is John Dolan as VP, Business Development who has a surveillance pedigree with more than 25 years of system sales for the military, aerospace, transport and, most recently, fire sectors. Dolan's connection with AD Group goes back to 1997 when he started work at its Atlanta office and from where he oversaw the application of the mobile CCTV system in a number of large-scale school bus projects. Most recently Dolan has been working to develop the AD Group's AD Network Video business in the Americas as a one-stop resource for enterprise scale video surveillance projects.
