HID Global and RedCloud Join Forces to Deliver an Expanded Portfolio

  • Mar 20, 2013

HID Global, a provider of secure identity solutions, today announced that it has expanded its partnership with RedCloud to integrate HID Global’s EDGE EVO and VertX EVO networked access control solutions into RedCloud’s complete line of web-based, networked, access control appliances, including RedCloud Express, RedCloud Enterprise, and RedCloud Virtual. RedCloud will demonstrate the new, integrated solution in their booth #2095, and in HID Global’s Partner Pavilion in booth #10051 at ISC West 2013 in Las Vegas from April 10 – 12.

HID Global’s EDGE EVO product line includes single-door, power-over-Ethernet-enabled (PoE) controllers for organizations with an existing IT infrastructure, and the VertX EVO portfolio comprises multi-door controllers with downstream, interface modules for environments with an existing traditional access system in place and a limited IT infrastructure. Combined with RedCloud’s web-based, networked, access control appliances, these solutions easily support facility expansion or any future changes to security configurations – whether it’s providing access control for a few doors or hundreds of doors at multiple facilities.

“Combining HID Global’s latest IP-enabled solutions with RedCloud’s portfolio provides customers a broad set of options for open architecture, web-based, access control solutions,” said Managing Director, Identity and Access Management, Eric Widlitz,, Americas with HID Global. “HID Global recognizes that RedCloud is a pioneer in the industry and one of the fastest-growing providers of physical access control systems. As a member of our Networked Access Partner Program, RedCloud’s integration of EDGE EVO and VertX EVO into their offering reinforces our shared commitment to providing customers the robust, scalable and cost effective solution.

“RedCloud is pleased to add a new layer to our partnership with the integration of HID Global’s networked access solutions into our portfolio,” said Kevin Wine, RedCloud’s vice president of marketing. “As a member of our Open Field Hardware program, HID Global is an industry-leading brand, and many integrators and customers will benefit from the freedom of choice and capabilities associated with a joint RedCloud and HID Global solution.”

All RedCloud Express, RedCloud Enterprise, and RedCloud Virtual appliances support open and reusable field hardware from HID Global. RedCloud’s approach allows customers to protect new investments or leverage prior investments in non-proprietary field hardware. RedCloud can retrofit to any HID Global VertX EVO or EDGE EVO installation, enabling HID Global customers to seamlessly move to an efficient, scalable, and open web-based solution.

  • The Evolution of IP Camera Intelligence

    As the 30th anniversary of the IP camera approaches in 2026, it is worth reflecting on how far we have come. The first network camera, launched in 1996, delivered one frame every 17 seconds—not impressive by today’s standards, but groundbreaking at the time. It did something that no analog system could: transmit video over a standard IP network. Read Now

  • 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.
