  • Sep 06, 2017

Help Mission 500 reach their fundraising goal of $75,000 at the Security Softball Game. The third annual event on Sept. 9 is a fun and engaging way for the security industry to come together and give back to children in need in the United States.

A portion of the total event proceeds and 100 percent of the donations received on the Security Softball Game webpage will be donated to children impacted by Hurricane Harvey. Security Today is official umpire sponsor of the Security Softball Game.

Join Mission 500 and other leading companies by sponsoring, supporting, and participating in the event. Friends and family of the industry are welcome to join, free of charge.

They ask that you kindly RSVP by clicking "Join Now" on the right-hand side of the event’s official website. Refreshing drinks and delicious food will be complimentary for all guests and players.

Mission 500 will be hosting a Back-to-School Care Pack event during the game. Their goal is to assemble at least 200 book bags and stuff them with school supplies for students in need. Every $27 donated provides a child with a backpack and school supplies, giving them a “hand up” for their journey to break the cycle of poverty.

You can donate to the event during or after you RSVP.Overpeck County Park Map

  • 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.
