NAPCO Security Technologies Inc. (NSSC), one of the world's leading suppliers of high performance electronic security equipment for over 30 years, today announced that its Gemini™ Security System is protecting the Comcast Theatre, a popular indoor/outdoor amphitheatre that has a venue capacity of 30,000 and is situated in Hartford, Conn. Often the first stop for all summer concert series to the Hartford Metro area, the Comcast Theatre has featured a wide variety of acts from Zac Brown Band, Kenny Chesney, Dave Matthews Band, Coldplay, Bruce Springsteen, Rascal Flatts, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Ozzfest Tour, and much more. Instrumental to keeping the facility secure, NAPCO's Gemini Security System and Keypad, Model GEM-RP1CAe2, are used daily to protect this bustling entertainment venue.

Richard Soloway, Chairman and President of NAPCO, commented, "The Company's popular Gemini Security System is consistently chosen because of its ease of use, reliability, and built-in business management features, such as open/close reporting, time scheduled auto-arming and maintenance-free operation. Another top feature is that today, any of NAPCO's Gemini Systems can be securely controlled via a free smart phone app (Droid™ or Apple®) or online, for 24/7 security management, from anywhere across the globe."

All of these attributes assure the world class entertainers at the Comcast Theatre are well protected with a world-class security solution. Gemini and new Gemini Commercial Systems are also scalable for theatres, arenas and businesses of all kinds, for 6 to 255 zones/points of coverage, partitioned into separate areas for separate times and users, such as concession area vs. the stage, for example. Its hardwire and wireless flexibility adapts to all types of construction, easily expanded for management's growing needs. This installation at New England's premier venue serves as a model for thousands of other entertainment venues that want a state-of-the-art solution to protect people where they live, work, study, and recreate, and choose to rely on NAPCO Security Technologies.

    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.
