IC Realtime Adds Integration Center to Florida Corporate Office

  • Mar 28, 2013

IC Realtime Adds Integration Center to Florida Corporate OfficeIC Realtime, a designer and manufacturer of advanced visual surveillance solutions for residential and commercial applications -- with US corporate headquarters in Pompano Beach, Florida and a satellite office in Goodyear, Arizona -- today announced that it has expanded its Florida offices to accommodate a brand-new 20,000 square foot integration center.  Now open and fully-operational, the center adds a state-of-the-art demonstration showroom, a dedicated training center and an expanded tech support/R&D lab.

The first thing visitors experience when they enter IC Realtime’s main corporate entrance is a fully-equipped showroom replete with individual workstations demonstrating the company’s many analog and IP cameras, DVRs, NVRs, Apps and accessories - all live, in action.  Also in place are workstations that show IC Realtime’s products fully-integrated into RTI, Control4, Crestron and Savant environments.

In the middle of the showroom stands a display center equipped with all the mobile devices that the company supports including Kindle, Windows8, Android and Apple (both mobile and home) platforms.

Another focal point of the showroom is a demonstration of IC Realtime’s I-Sniper technology that illustrates how special sensors in the cameras capture images in detail both night and day, even under challenging, mixed-lighting conditions.  This pixel-by-pixel enhancement technology is created exclusively for IC Realtime by Pixim, Inc.

IC Realtime CEO Matt Sailor has opened the showroom to security and AV dealers interested in demonstrating the company’s solutions to their clientele.  In addition, Sailor intends to fly dealers to the facility from around the US to experience the showroom and get better acquainted with IC Realtime.

IC Realtime’s sales and technical teams are also available to conduct demonstrations to dealers and their clientele.  Standard showroom hours of operation are Monday – Friday, 8am – 6 pm.  Special after-hours appointments can be made as well.

Annexed to the showroom is a brand-new training center that comfortably seats 40 people.  Making for more interactive and robust training sessions, the facility incorporates digital whiteboards that communicate via Bluetooth.  IC Realtime plans to offer educational classes throughout the year that earn participants 2 CEDIA University credits.

Also in place is a new-and-improved lab that IC Realtime uses for research, development and technical support.  The lab is 4-times larger than the company’s previous lab and incorporates new testing areas for newly developed products, R&D equipment, and specialty projects.  In total, the company employs more than 30 people in the lab.

According to Sailor, the integration center cost IC Realtime more than $300,000 to build. “We’ve put our money where our mouth is here,” says Sailor. “The showroom is designed to show -- not talk about -- how our products truly integrate with these multiple platforms.”

The integration center is situated at IC Realtime’s US headquarters, located at 3050 North Andrews Ave Extension, Pompano Beach, FL 33064 - only minutes from Interstate I-95.  Dealers interested in visiting should call 954.772.5327 or email [email protected].  

Later this year, IC Realtime plans to put in place a 10,000 square foot integration center in its Arizona office.

  • The Evolution of IP Camera Intelligence

    As the 30th anniversary of the IP camera approaches in 2026, it is worth reflecting on how far we have come. The first network camera, launched in 1996, delivered one frame every 17 seconds—not impressive by today’s standards, but groundbreaking at the time.

  • From Surveillance to Intelligence

    Years ago, it would have been significantly more expensive to run an analytic like that — requiring a custom-built solution with burdensome infrastructure demands — but modern edge devices have made it accessible to everyone. It also saves time, which is a critical factor if a missing child is involved. Video compression technology has played a critical role as well. Over the years, significant advancements have been made in video coding standards — including H.263, MPEG formats, and H.264—alongside compression optimization technologies developed by IP video manufacturers to improve efficiency without sacrificing quality. The open-source AV1 codec developed by the Alliance for Open Media—a consortium including Google, Netflix, Microsoft, Amazon and others — is already the preferred decoder for cloud-based applications, and is quickly becoming the standard for video compression of all types.
