In the days before fiber optics, certain surveillance applications simply weren't possible—or too expensive to even be considered feasible.
In the past, that would have been the case at the West Gate Bridge in Melbourne, Australia, where a fiber-optic solution from Infinova is now linking cameras to the city's video depot, miles away. West Gate is Australia's third-longest bridge, stretching a total of 8,473 feet across the Yarra River. The beautiful cable-stayed bridge, which was built in the 1970s, is twice as long as the Sydney Harbour Bridge.

The second day of ISC West dawned to the same impressive crowds as the opening morning, and everywhere I looked, I saw busy exhibitors and countless customers (not to mention the occasional harried industry journalist).

The second day at ISC West did not disappoint. Visitor traffic was as high as the first day, and aptly maneuvering through the bustling crowd became an acquired skill for Security Products editors as we hurried to and from booth interviews, product demos and press briefings. The products and news we encountered on the second day also were as ground-breaking and exciting as the first.
