Canon U.S.A., Inc., a leader in digital imaging solutions, has introduced its first-ever line of Full HD IP Security cameras
With the second day of Security Essen is well underway, I dare say there is hardly room to squeeze an orange to find room in some of the halls (there are 12 halls total).

Other than a brief stopover in Frankfurt years ago, this is my first trip to Germany, and is my first exposure to Security Essen.
