Monitor Dynamics Names REPMS Manufacturer's Rep for Northeast U.S.

Monitor Dynamics announced that it has partnered with manufacturer’s representative firm REP Marketing Solutions, Inc. to launch and promote market growth for the new iTRUST 2.0 POE+ powered, server-less IP Access Control product in the Metro New York, New Jersey and New England geographical territory.

The iTRUST 2.0 product will be launched and released early first quarter 2015 as a sustainable and environmentally-friendly, web-based, pure IP access control system (true server-less configuration) that utilizes the benefits of POE+ power.

iTRUST empowers users to secure their facilities (up to 32 doors) in real-time from anywhere, via their smartphone, tablet or browser-enabled mobile or wearable device.

Installing dealers can configure iTRUST 2.0 to operate card readers and locking hardware directly from the Linux-based door controller delivering an industry leading 1.6 Amps of robust PoE+ power.

“The addition of the REPMS team to the MonDyn family will deliver the highest levels of consultative product support available to our new iTRUST 2.0 customers in the NY/NJ and New England areas,” stated Troy Paddock, president of Monitor Dynamics. “We are extremely excited to be working with such a proven and experienced group of field marketing professionals. REPMS team members are truly committed to providing dealers and distributors with superior service and technical proficiency throughout the pre and post-sales lifecycle,” Paddock concluded.

iTRUST is unique in that it requires no server, no software, no power supply, no 3rd party hosting and no formal classroom training to operate.

These features make it very easy to install, use and maintain. iTRUST is manufactured in two unique system packages that level the playing field for all security installers:

  • The P Series – an edge-based IP POE+ powered solution (one Ethernet cable to the box delivering communication and power) in a small self-contained lightweight enclosure.
  • The M Series – a standard, IP based system with traditional metal locking enclosure and separate Altronix power supply to power locks, readers and additional door hardware.

“As the first new entry into the access control market this year, the REPMS Team considers iTRUST to be the top contender amongst all other pure IP access control systems that we have seen,” said Robert Peach, president of Rep Marketing Solutions, Inc. “Our team is eager to promote iTRUST’s long list of innovative and differentiating features into our market. Its unique affordability, due to the fact that no computing server is required for operation and there are no software license fees, maintenance terms, upgrade charges or hidden costs is a huge plus. This, combined with the option of two unique system kits (POE+ and traditional power), give REPMS team members the ability to meet specific customer security requirements while conforming to every individual installing dealer’s computer networking expertise, historical installation experience and technical comfort level.”

  • 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.
