IAHSS Responds To Hospital-Based Shootings Study

In response to the recent release of a study sponsored in part by Johns Hopkins entitled “Hospital-Based Shootings in the United States: 2000-2011," the International Association for Healthcare Security & Safety [IAHSS] believes there is some valuable information that was garnered from the evaluation of violence within hospital facilities, however several key strategies were not discussed.

No Room at the Inn

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). In the halls where companies show access control, video surveillance and cameras, it’s shoulder to shoulder. Booths and employees are busy almost everywhere.

Health Center in Germany Deploys IndigoVision Technology

One of Europe’s most modern health centers has brought in IndigoVision to ensure that staff are able to monitor high dependency patients across a large suite of rooms and carry out analysis work. The new IP video system replaces ageing analogue equipment that was becoming maintenance intensive and failure prone.

Axis Introduces Affordable Panoramic Network Cameras

Axis Communications recently announced 360-degree fixed mini dome cameras with a 5 megapixel sensor that enables detailed, high-quality 360-degree or 180-degree panoramic views of wide indoor areas.

Just an Idea

A couple ideas crossed my mind while taking a lunch break at Security Essen. The facility is so large that they have two press centers, but what I liked most about the press center is that they service a nice cup of chicken noodle soup to the journalists.

The Missing Link

The importance of telecommunication companies on the security and home automation scene is becoming increasingly apparent as more end users become educated about the latest technology.



Driving Video Surveillance

The transition from analog to IP video systems has been a dominant market trend in the last several years, and the associated technology transition has similarly dominated the attention of integrators and end users.

Working the Floor

There is nothing worse than having an appointment to meet someone at the tradeshow, and you get your wires crossed. Security Products is fortunate to have a salesperson working in Europe.
