Orion Entrance Control & LifeSafety Power Partner for Integrated Solution

  • Jul 22, 2015

LifeSafety Power, Inc. and Orion Entrance Control, Inc. (ECI) have partnered to bring integrated power solutions to the company’s leading line of innovative and customized entrance control lanes.

Orion ECI, manufacturer of high-end optical barriers, speed gates and mechanical turnstiles, is making LifeSafety Power’s intelligent networked power solutions an integral part of its entrance control designs. LifeSafety Power and Orion ECI products are made in the USA, follow green building efficiency design principles, and together provide an optimum level of reliability in entrance control products.

LifeSafety Power’s iSCAN is now part of Orion ECI’s entire product line and may provide the ability to remotely monitor, diagnose and service power solution’s health to keep physical security up and running 24/7. iSCAN’s intelligent network capability can assess power across the enterprise, evaluating and apprising users of overall solution health.

Steve Caroselli, president of Orion Entrance Control, said that offering the latest technology and the highest level of dependability is critical to the company’s philosophy of providing quality solutions and ultimate uptime.

“Intelligent power adds another level of reliability,” said Caroselli. “We’re excited to add LifeSafety Power as an integration partner as we know their contributions add immeasurable value to our customized entrance control solutions.”

In addition, smart power solutions allow service providers the ability to remotely test and service many potential issues without a site visit and truck roll.

“The customer wants to be assured that their system is operational, especially in the event of a security breach or life safety event,” said Larry Ye, president and chief executive officer of LifeSafety Power Inc. “Bringing additional intelligence to high-technology entrance controls is a natural evolution.”

  • 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.
