Audio and Video Technology Displayed at ISC West

When you think of audio technology, Louroe Electronics is one company that generally comes to mind first because of their audio monitoring technology. At ISC West this year, Louroe showcased two new products, the Verifact A USB microphone and AOP530 speaker microphone. Both products have major improvements on network device integration, installation time and sound clarity.

The Verifact A USB microphone features a USB connection and enables direct connection to USB hubs or computers, simplifying installation and creating plug-and-play audio for almost any application.

The AOP530 is a two-way speaker microphone with echo cancellation and full-duplex communication. The AOP530 connects directly to IP cameras and encoders that support two-way, line level audio. It also has vandal-resistant housing.

For scalable video surveillance storage, Equus Compute Solutions had their cost effective server architectures on display at their ISC West booth last week. The server and storage chassis are ideal for supporting the advanced data storage requirements for today's in-vehicle and body-worn cameras. Equus Compute Systems is a custom computer manufacturer and offers competitive prices – with superior logistics and support – to service providers, independent software vendors/original equipment manufacturers (ISVs/OEMs) and enterprise value-added resellers (VARs).

Equus partners with WatchGuard Video and Open-E in a solution that meets the time and storage demands vital for law enforcement agencies' surveillance security camera data. WatchGuard Video, the world's largest manufacturer of law enforcement video systems, supplies in-car and body-worn cameras along with evidence management software. Open-E provides the IP-based storage management software for data backup and storage. The cost-optimized Equus high-density storage servers (HDSS) enables law enforcement agencies to run video surveillance without delay or interruptions 24/7/365.

Both of these companies were a great addition to ISC West, and are definitely worth keeping an eye on for years to come.

  • Gaining a Competitive Edge

    Ask most companies about their future technology plans and the answers will most likely include AI. Then ask how they plan to deploy it, and that is where the responses may start to vary. Every company has unique surveillance requirements that are based on market focus, scale, scope, risk tolerance, geographic area and, of course, budget. Those factors all play a role in deciding how to configure a surveillance system, and how to effectively implement technologies like AI. Read Now

  • 6 Ways Security Awareness Training Empowers Human Risk Management

  • The Stage is Set

    The security industry spans the entire globe, with manufacturers, developers and suppliers on every continent (well, almost—sorry, Antarctica). That means when regulations pop up in one area, they often have a ripple effect that impacts the entire supply chain. Recent data privacy regulations like GDPR in Europe and CPRA in California made waves when they first went into effect, forcing businesses to change the way they approach data collection and storage to continue operating in those markets. Even highly specific regulations like the U.S.’s National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) can have international reverberations – and this growing volume of legislation has continued to affect global supply chains in a variety of different ways.
