Making An Impact

ESX has unveiled a program that gives manufacturers and service providers an opportunity to help integration and monitoring companies maximize revenues, profits and company value. It’s the Maximum Impact Awards.

I’m looking forward to attending ESX and reviewing the new product entries. Why? The MIAs recognize excellence in new and recently introduced products and services based on the ability to impact the business of integration and monitoring companies.

Twenty-one companies have entered 27 products to be judged during this year’s program in Baltimore. Entrants were required to submit information on how the product or service satifies end user’s needs, while boosting revenue profit potential and increasing the value of dealer companies. So, who did the judging? A panel of integration and monitoring company experts reviewed the entries and picked the winners, who will be announced during the first day of the ESX Expo, Wednesday, June 24.

Security Products magazine is pleased to have been the sponsor for the new product award, and pleased to take part in announcing the winners. In fact, we believe so much in the concept of new products, we’re having our own new product of the year award contest during ASIS in September.

ESX is all about maximum impact -- the importance of high quality and reliability in the equipment -- and we believe consumers should have the best options available during an integration project. ESX certainly provides customer care and quality.

    Hexagon’s Geosystems presents a portable version of its Accur8vision detection system. A rugged all-in-one solution, the A8V MIND (Mobile Intrusion Detection) is designed to provide flexible protection of critical outdoor infrastructure and objects. Hexagon’s Accur8vision is a volumetric detection system that employs LiDAR technology to safeguard entire areas. Whenever it detects movement in a specified zone, it automatically differentiates a threat from a nonthreat, and immediately notifies security staff if necessary. Person detection is carried out within a radius of 80 meters from this device. Connected remotely via a portable computer device, it enables remote surveillance and does not depend on security staff patrolling the area.

This new feature is now available to all Luma x20 users globally. “The Luma x20 family of surveillance solutions provides excellent image and audio capture, and with the new customer handoff feature, it now offers absolute privacy for camera feeds and recordings,” Webb said. “With notifications and integrator access controlled through the powerful OvrC remote system management platform, it’s easy for integrators to give their clients full control of their footage and then to get temporary access from the client for any troubleshooting needs.”
