In line with its commitment to delivering best in class security products that customers can depend on, UTC Fire & Security announced recently that it will offer its comprehensive range of security products through four primary brands -- Interlogix, Lenel, Supra and Onity.

This follows an announcement in March that UTC Fire & Security had acquired GE Security. UTC Fire & Security operates three separately managed business units -- Global Security Products; Global Fire Products and Fire and Security Services.

“Lenel, Supra and Onity have well established reputations for product excellence, and we are excited to re-introduce the Interlogix brand to promote our residential and commercial solutions. We will continue to support our strong product brands under these businesses,” said Mark Barry, president of UTC Fire & Security’s Global Security Products group. “Interlogix, Lenel, Supra and Onity will operate as individual businesses, with dedicated product development, customer support and sales teams assigned to ensure that they deliver reliable product solutions deploying leading-edge technology, and outstanding support to their targeted customer segments."

For each of these security brands, our commitment to supporting independent channel partners and distributors is unmatched. By promoting our expanded portfolio of products and solutions we’re able to offer an even stronger proposition to our customers with greater product depth and increased installation efficiencies.”

Interlogix offers intrusion, video, fiber transmission, and access control products with focused programs and tools for the residential, and the small to medium commercial enterprise segments. Products offered through Interlogix include video surveillance ranges TruVision and UltraView, Simon XT intrusion panel and IFS Transmission Systems.

Lenel is a provider of enterprise software and integrated systems for corporate and government security customers. Lenel will offer OnGuard, SkyPoint, Facility CommanderTM for Windows and Picture PerfectTM integration platforms along with its growing professional services offering.

Onity supports the hospitality and education sectors as well as other vertical segments with products that include electronic locks, in-room safes and energy management solutions.

Supra is a global provider of electronic key management systems that offer solutions for real estate, property management, automotive and industrial sectors. Supra's technologies are used to securely store keys and manage key access rights.

    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.
