STI Partners with PSA Security Network

STI, a manufacturer of multipurpose push buttons, protective covers/enclosures, cages, and alarms to help prevent theft and vandalism, announced a partnership with PSA Security Network. The move allows more than 300 electronic security systems integrators in all 50 states and Canada access to STI’s line of 300-plus fire/security protective products.

PSA is the world’s largest electronic security cooperative, encompassing more than 200 manufacturing vendor partners in the security systems design, installation, integration and maintenance of access control, video surveillance, intrusion detection and fire and life safety systems industries.

“STI will certainly be an exceptional addition to our specialized network. We are excited to offer their unique line of protective covers, buttons, chimes and wire guards,” said PSA President and CEO Bill Bozeman. “STI will offer our members a full fire/security package. Their wide range of products help prevent false fire alarms, damage and vandalism to fire pull stations, horn/strobe units, smoke detectors, CCTV cameras and other critical life safety appliances. And since most of their products carry a lifetime guarantee, our integrators are getting quality with that type of assurance.”

“Our partnership with PSA is a win-win situation,” said Margie Gobler, STI president and CEO. “PSA’s objective is to provide quality products to help their system integrators in the fire and security sectors and STI has over 30 years experience in providing superior products to this industry. The partnership exposes us to customers who may not already know STI and allows PSA to offer several outstanding products for a wide range of fire/security needs.”

  • From Surveillance to Intelligence

    Years ago, it would have been significantly more expensive to run an analytic like that — requiring a custom-built solution with burdensome infrastructure demands — but modern edge devices have made it accessible to everyone. It also saves time, which is a critical factor if a missing child is involved. Video compression technology has played a critical role as well. Over the years, significant advancements have been made in video coding standards — including H.263, MPEG formats, and H.264—alongside compression optimization technologies developed by IP video manufacturers to improve efficiency without sacrificing quality. The open-source AV1 codec developed by the Alliance for Open Media—a consortium including Google, Netflix, Microsoft, Amazon and others — is already the preferred decoder for cloud-based applications, and is quickly becoming the standard for video compression of all types.
