ASIS: A Daily Look Into The Show

The dust is just now starting to settle post ASIS 2007. Last week, security professionals from across the country and beyond migrated to the Las Vegas Convention Center in hopes of finding out what it was that made this ASIS show the biggest and best yet.

As always, Security Products was there, working as hard as ants to find the latest and greatest products, meet with professionals near and far, attend educational sessions and discuss the state of the industry with other media sources.

Like many of you out there, we too got home at odd hours of the night, and we too had flight issues, luggage issues, parking and traffic problems – all the wonderful complications many face with traveling nowadays. But finally, most of us are back at work, telling stories of the now-memories we have of ASIS 2007 Las Vegas.

I find myself retelling stories of the helicopter ride I took courtesy of HSM; the laughable amount of money I won on the penny slot machines; the “What’s New on the Show Floor” seminar by Roy Bordes; and the attraction that Vegas continues to have for both business and pleasure purposes alike.

Who knows if next year’s show will top the attraction and allure this show had. I guess we’ll all just have to wait another year and see.

We’ll see you next year!

    Snap One has announced its popular Luma x20 family of surveillance products now offers even greater security and privacy for home and business owners across the globe by giving them full control over integrators’ system access to view live and recorded video. According to Snap One Product Manager Derek Webb, the new “customer handoff” feature provides enhanced user control after initial installation, allowing the owners to have total privacy while also making it easy to reinstate integrator access when maintenance or assistance is required. This new feature is now available to all Luma x20 users globally. “The Luma x20 family of surveillance solutions provides excellent image and audio capture, and with the new customer handoff feature, it now offers absolute privacy for camera feeds and recordings,” Webb said. “With notifications and integrator access controlled through the powerful OvrC remote system management platform, it’s easy for integrators to give their clients full control of their footage and then to get temporary access from the client for any troubleshooting needs.”

    Shooter Detection Systems (SDS), an Alarm.com company and a global leader in gunshot detection solutions, has introduced ResponderLink, a groundbreaking new 911 notification service for gunshot events. ResponderLink completes the circle from detection to 911 notification to first responder awareness, giving law enforcement enhanced situational intelligence they urgently need to save lives. Integrating SDS’s proven gunshot detection system with Noonlight’s SendPolice platform, ResponderLink is the first solution to automatically deliver real-time gunshot detection data to 911 call centers and first responders. When shots are detected, the 911 dispatching center, also known as the Public Safety Answering Point or PSAP, is contacted based on the gunfire location, enabling faster initiation of life-saving emergency protocols.

    A8V MIND

    Hexagon’s Geosystems presents a portable version of its Accur8vision detection system. A rugged all-in-one solution, the A8V MIND (Mobile Intrusion Detection) is designed to provide flexible protection of critical outdoor infrastructure and objects. Hexagon’s Accur8vision is a volumetric detection system that employs LiDAR technology to safeguard entire areas. Whenever it detects movement in a specified zone, it automatically differentiates a threat from a nonthreat, and immediately notifies security staff if necessary. Person detection is carried out within a radius of 80 meters from this device. Connected remotely via a portable computer device, it enables remote surveillance and does not depend on security staff patrolling the area.
