What's New At Expo Seguridad

En Español...

Trade shows are pretty much the same: Attendees want to know what’s new, and often times, you want to know what new products I think will be the next big thing.

I ran across a product here in Mexico City that actually made its debut at ISC West. Digiop, an Indianapolis-based video intelligence software company, introduced a design   that was built in collaboration with Dell. That’s right, Dell, the computer giant.

The Advantage series comes with hybrid capabilities and integration to third-party systems, bringing visual integration to your business. The hybrid video management system is built to the company’s specifications by Dell on its latest hardware platforms. The nice thing about that is the system can be configured to provide months of real-time, high resolution video and audio. And the Advantage series will expand when you're ready to expand.

VMS products should provide real-time power for the end users' business intelligence  that is used in operations, marketing, merchandising and IT departments.

On the first day of Expo Seguridad, I had another interesting experience: I ran across a couple of guys from Russia, who have been living in Mexico City for the past 10 years.

I’ve always been fascinated with the Soviet Union, so I wondered why they chose Mexico. The story is rather easy to tell. When I asked about the economic differences of having their business in the Americas as opposed to Russia, they quickly reminded me that the Soviet Union breakup was more than 10 years ago.

So I asked: Why not branch out from Moscow to various points around the world? Security needs are everywhere.

Shamil Sharapudinov, general director, and Alexey Aleksyutkin, security manager, of Axon, said the security world has become so small that their company not only works in the Mexico City market, but other countries as well; however, they say Mexico is a very progressive market for both IP video surveillance and analog solutions.

Their company's headquarters are in Moscow, but they have two U.S. offices in Los Angeles and Washington, D.C.

For me, it was a great lesson in civics, cultural adaptability and economics as they explained their vertical market choices in the government sector. For instance, in the city Moscow, more than 100,000 of their cameras have been integrated into one of the biggest projects in the city.

I’m looking forward to day two. Tomorrow, I will report on several U.S. companies that have specific interests in Mexico and Latin America. I also have a key interview with the executive director of ALAS. I hope you’ll join me for tomorrow’s Expo Seguridad E-News daily update.

  • New Report Reveals Top Trends Transforming Access Controller Technology

    Mercury Security, a provider in access control hardware and open platform solutions, has published its Trends in Access Controllers Report, based on a survey of over 450 security professionals across North America and Europe. The findings highlight the controller’s vital role in a physical access control system (PACS), where the device not only enforces access policies but also connects with readers to verify user credentials—ranging from ID badges to biometrics and mobile identities. With 72% of respondents identifying the controller as a critical or important factor in PACS design, the report underscores how the choice of controller platform has become a strategic decision for today’s security leaders.

    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.
