Brainlike Technology Reduces Data Overload

Data overload is a huge problem. Billions of sensors already generate data at staggering rates, and data creation is growing at an annual rate of 60 percent, according to a special report in The Economist (27 Feb. 2010). The same report states that generated data surpassed available storage over three years ago.


The Integration of EasyLobby Visitor Management with Access Control Systems

This white paper provides a description of the integration process between EasyLobby Secure Visitor Management (SVM) and a variety of access control systems.


IP Video Management Software Going Vertical: One Size Does Not Fit All for the Campus Environment

Video Management Software applications were first introduced with enterprise class DVR systems and, with the migration to IP, have separated into an independent product category. VMS allows a user to view live or recorded video from any camera in the business or organization, typically from a monitoring station or from a web based platform.


School District Combats Gang Violence Border Issues

Just 10 miles away from the United States-Mexico border along the Rio Grande, Donna Independent School District sits amidst international violence including drugs, guns and gangs.


Should You Jump to IP? A Guide to Migrating Video Surveillance Equipment

Should You Jump to IP? Infinova’s commonsense guide for chief security officers (CSOs), directors and managers on how to reduce costs and extend the life of existing surveillance equipment when migrating from analog to IP surveillance.


Business Shredders High-Tech Document Destruction

The need to efficiently dispose large quantities of documents in the workplace has transformed the simple paper shredder into an advanced piece of office equipment.


City College Printing Student IDs Saving Time

City College of San Francisco chose to roll out the printers fully for the following semester. With the new system, the college now reduces time and frustration—and lines—for staff and students.
Across 85,000 students, City College now produces ID cards in just one-sixth the time it took before. For 85,000 students, that’s a savings of more than 2,000 hours—dramatic time-savings for staff and students.


Retransfer Technology Delivers Optimal Card Printing Solution

Retransfer technology is the optimal on-demand printing solution for meeting the stringent image quality and encoding standards that advanced card applications require. In the past, desktop retransfer printers offered low printing speeds and image quality, thus limiting their applicability in many card issuance applications. This lack of performance and quality slowed the adoption of retransfer technology industry-wide. Today, however, innovative technology for retransfer printing delivers a fast, flexible, and affordable solution.

Intelligent Storage IP Video Surveillance

The security industry has adopted a centralized storage approach for IP video surveillance systems. Manufacturers followed traditional data center designs, assuming that it was best to use the standard architecture for Information Technology (IT). However, many of the growing issues with IP video systems today, such as bandwidth, storage and maintenance costs, are the direct result of this centralized storage architecture.
