Getting Off On The Right Foot

Even before ISC East kicks off its’ annual event in New York, SIA is brining back its new product showcase. The event runs next week, Oct. 28-29, at the Jacob Javits Center.

I like new products and all they bring with them. There is a flurry of excitement when new products are announced, despite what the critics might say. New products and new technology have a definite role to fill in the security industry.

The latest innovations in security products will be on display in the center of the show floor. I am going to check this out, and I hope you will also.

A new feature this year is the Demonstration Theater, where manufacturers will present their solutions in action during the show. Space is limited, so be sure to register beforehand for the presentations you wish to attend.

Here’s another event I’m looking forward to attending. Well, I have to attend, but our Network-Centric Security publication will be hosting a theater session each day of the tradeshow. It also will be held in the theater each day from 1:30 to 2:30 p.m.

Our first session on Wednesday will be a panel discussion on standards and interoperability. Representatives from ONVIF and PSIA will take a few minutes to discuss their organizations. Then Jim Henry of Henry Brothers Electronics will wrap it up. There will be a question-and-answer session following.

On day two Thursday, we will have a panel on school security. This is always a lightning rod for discussion and our three panelists will touch on the physical side of security, as well as IT security issues.

This will be an interesting time in New York and SIA has gotten off on the right foot this 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.”

    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.
