  • Mar 23, 2016

Hanwha Techwin America’s Tom Cook, Vice President of Sales, has been tapped to participate as a panelist on the End to End Best Practices in System Integration seminar at ISC West 2016. The panel will discuss best practices and product protocols that can ease integration and provide new, and improved cross-functional capabilities. Relationships between various systems will be examined with insight about how they can each be more effective when combined.

 

“Security professionals are looking for more than just monitoring capabilities with system cameras,” said Mr. Cook. “They’re looking for ways to better use the visual information to help ensure a safer and more secure environment. New imaging solutions with more powerful analytics, combined with the capability for integrating camera apps, are delivering the answer and creating a ‘win-win’ for end users and resellers alike.”

 

The seminar will be moderated by Ron Hawkins, Manager of Special Projects and Partnerships, Security Industry Association (SIA). Panelists, in addition to Mr. Cook, include Don Campbell, Director of Product, Quantum Secure; Rick Caruthers, Executive Vice President, Galaxy Control Systems; Mark Clifton, President, Products and Solutions Division, and Vice President, SRI International; Ken LaMarca, Vice President, Sales and Marketing, OnSSI; Ronnie Pennington, National Sales Engineer, Altronix Corporation; and Dale Tesch, Director of Professional Services, NTT Com Security.

    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.

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.
