  • Sep 07, 2017

SDC has added a new, labor-saving function called DoorSnap to its free, award-winning SDCSecurity App. DoorSnap allows users to take and submit pictures of door openings via Apple or Android smartphone or tablet and receive free access & egress solution recommendations for electrification retrofits.

Between now and the end of October 2017, SDC is entering all qualifying DoorSnap submissions into a random drawing to give Dealers, Installers and Integrators a chance to win a DoorSnap Door Package Solution worth up to $2,500 of SDC products. Additionally, SDC’s manufacturer’s reps have a chance to win a $250 Visa Gift card for generating the most DoorSnap page visits and app downloads among the dealer/installer/integrator customers in their region.

“SDC’s free SDCSecurity App has been a great, mobile tool to support our customers in the field. The new DoorSnap functionality allows them to receive a complete, customized solution for their particular retrofit the same day,” explained Shane Geringer, SDC’s Vice President of Marketing, Sales, and Strategic Development. “In July and August alone, we’ve received over 1,200 page views from the field. And this was just during our “soft-launch” period for the app, convincing us to formalize the launch and develop this robust DoorSnap promotion.”

To support and market the contest, SDC developed sales materials – videos, eblasts, point-of-sale, and online banners and skyscrapers – for reps to promote to their dealer, installer and integrator customers. Reps have also been given access to download metrics to see where they’re at in generating DoorSnap page visits and app downloads.

Contest winners for both the $2,500 DoorSnap Door Package Solution and regional manufacturer’s rep winners of the $250 Visa Gift card will be announced in mid-November. Details about the SDCSecurity App and new DoorSnap functionality are available at: http://sdcsecurity.com/doorsnap.htm.

  • 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.
