Security On Every Level

ISC West kicks off today, and the buzz is spot on. There are more exhibitors with incredible products specifically designed for the security space. In our March issue of Security Products magazine, we published new products from many companies in the marketplace.

Our products are not to take the place of the SIA Showcase, but an opportunity for our advertisers to highlight products you’ll want to see the next three days. I hesitated and thought about telling you which products caught my eye, because I appreciate the support the magazine gets, but there were a few products that stopped me in my tracks.

I’m taken by PCSC’s rack-mounted fault tolerant controller. Here’s what I like about it. It is IT friendly and it’s available with standard 19-inch rack rails. Connections are easy with RJ-45 jackets on the front. I also like the product Tatung USA is showing in a public view monitor system. It’s a 20-inch plus LDC display with 480-TV-line wide dynamic range camera equipped with a varifocal auto-iris lens.

Last, but not least is the EverFocus digital pixel system color sensor technology. This is a wide dynamic, rugged dome camera that captures and improves image quality in scenes with bright and dark areas.

The Sands Convention Center is buzzing, and it’s time to begin the first day of appointments. I look forward to reporting back to you, our faithful readers about the new products and technology discovered today.

If you’re at the show, technology means that you could be receiving this on a hand-held device. Send me a note and let me know what you think of the products in the ISC West space.

    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.”

    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.
