A New Training Platform

Over the course of the next three days, you will see, handle and feel many new products. You'll also see many products that have gone through successful upgrades. Where does a person learn how to implement new products and innovations?

Without exception, training plays a key role in acquiring the necessary education to work on and install new stuff.

Our sister brand, Security Today has announced the launch of a new online training platform for the security industry on April 15th at ISC West: Security Today Academy.

Security-today.com, the site that brings security professionals breaking news, product information, and industry insights now offers online security training. As more jobs are requiring and going to those with certifications, Security Today Academy provides those needed training and CEUs. The platform allows access to more than 125 courses.

"Security training and education is a natural offering for our Security Today brand and a logical extension of our portfolios service to the security market," said Kevin O'Grady, president & group publisher of 1105 Media's Security, Safety and Health Group. "Security professionals have trusted Security Products and Security-Today.com for years to provide important industry information. We are excited to add Security Today Academy to our portfolio of products."

Throughout the course of my travels, and visiting the many booths here at ISC West, the topic of training always surfaces. I'm very pleased that we have started this project to help security installers/integrators get the latest information.

Here are a couple of must visits you should take time for. Orion Entrance Control is at ISC West for the first time. They are showing their Optical Barrier Swing Glass, High Glass entry system, along with their Slim Line Pure Optical. Open Options is highlighting their DNA Fusion v6.2.3 and its supporting applications built on an open architecture foundation. Razberi Technologies will be showing their plug-and-play network recorders, IP cameras and installation tools, and Vitek will be demonstrating On Cue, a high-definition recorder with real time NVR. They also will be introducing Alpha, their newest IP camera.

It is a good time to be in the security industry. There are many more products and examples to see. I hope your three days at the tradeshow will offer a wider knowledge base and a profitable experience.

  • Just as Expected

    GSX produced a wonderful tradeshow earlier this week. Monday was surprisingly strong in the morning, and the afternoon wasn’t bad at all. That’s Monday’s results and asking attendees to travel on Sunday. Just a quick hint, no one wants to give up their weekend to travel and set up an exhibit booth. I’m just saying. Read Now

  • Nothing Artificial About this Intelligence

    I have been looking forward to this year’s GSX show in New Orleans, the Cresent City, or if you prefer The Big Easy. It seems like quite a while since we’ve been here. Twenty years ago, ASIS, as it was known then was literally washed out of the city by someone known as Katrina. It is a good thing to come back to NOLA. Read Now

  • From Monitors to Mission Control

    Security Operations Centers (SOC) were once defined by rows of static monitors, each displaying a single feed with operators quietly watching for issues. That model has become obsolete. Incidents evolve too quickly, data comes from multiple locations, and decisions must be made in seconds—not minutes. Read Now

    ResponderLink

    Shooter Detection Systems (SDS), an Alarm.com company and a global leader in gunshot detection solutions, has introduced ResponderLink, a groundbreaking new 911 notification service for gunshot events. ResponderLink completes the circle from detection to 911 notification to first responder awareness, giving law enforcement enhanced situational intelligence they urgently need to save lives. Integrating SDS’s proven gunshot detection system with Noonlight’s SendPolice platform, ResponderLink is the first solution to automatically deliver real-time gunshot detection data to 911 call centers and first responders. When shots are detected, the 911 dispatching center, also known as the Public Safety Answering Point or PSAP, is contacted based on the gunfire location, enabling faster initiation of life-saving emergency protocols.

  • HD2055 Modular Barricade

    Delta Scientific’s electric HD2055 modular shallow foundation barricade is tested to ASTM M50/P1 with negative penetration from the vehicle upon impact. With a shallow foundation of only 24 inches, the HD2055 can be installed without worrying about buried power lines and other below grade obstructions. The modular make-up of the barrier also allows you to cover wider roadways by adding additional modules to the system. The HD2055 boasts an Emergency Fast Operation of 1.5 seconds giving the guard ample time to deploy under a high threat situation.
