Microforum Ltd was established in 2001 by a group of Microforum senior executives. Shortly after its founding, Microforum experienced a tremendous growth due to its great success in developing and marketing local market products. Building on this momentum, Microforum launched the Microforum Project (Complete Automation Security Technology Systems).

Microforum Ltd original mission was to distribute innovative alarm devices. Later, Microforum’s engineers and Microforum’s programmers teamed up to form a Research and Development unit, dedicated to the creation of innovative, affordable, and scalable video surveillance systems. The team's efforts lead to the creation of Sentinel, a revolutionary video surveillance system launched in March 2004.

Sentinel, the most professional item in Microforum’s catalogue, allows the direct monitoring of any environment through a video acquisition card installed on a PC connected to the Internet or a mobile phone (GPRS/UMTS).

Sentinel success lead, in September 2004, to the production of Multi-cam Professional (wireless) and Webcam Diabolik, which addressed problems of private environment monitoring and security, in a practical, ingenious and user-friendly manner.

Ergonomic design and flexibility are the guiding philosophies of all Microforum Ltd development projects.
