What a crazy first day of ISC West 2018!!

The doors opened up right at 10 a.m. to numerous attendees looking for the most innovative security solutions the industry can offer and boy did they come to the right place!

I feel like I got to see a good portion of the show floor as I walked about 12,000 steps today from one end of the expo to the other visiting booths. The amount of excitement in the air was palpable as I made my way from booth to booth. There are so many new innovations, great partnerships and perfect integrations to talk about. Let’s get into it!

Aiphone Corporation, Booth 17101
Aiphone has a ton going on at their redesigned booth this year including their versatile multi-tenant video intercoms, emergency towers, wall boxes and more.

Their booth is one of the most interesting and important booths to visit at ISC West given the amount of time and effort they put into creating a flexible and easy to use solution for their customer with great attention to integrations and partnerships.

Louroe has quite the perfect spot on the show floor up by the front entrance, I bet they had a great view of the marching band that kicked things off in the morning!
