Finally, a trade show that is in Security Today's backyard! The ST team is so incredibly excited to have y'all out in Dallas to view the most innovative and spectacular solutions, software and products that the industry has to offer.

Since this show is in our hometown, we know exactly how huge the Kay Bailey Hutchinson Convention Center is and we know you can't possibly see all of it in three days. In order to streamline your ASIS experience, we have created our "Live From ASIS" page to make sure you don't miss anything on the show floor.

The page will be continuously updated throughout the show, so all you have to do is click and instantly you are updated with information from exhibitors, speakers and attendees. This is also a great way to stay updated with the show news if you weren't able to make it to Texas this year.

While you can keep an eye on our Live From page and stay in the know, there are just a few things that you have to see with your own eyes. Here's a couple things you cannot miss:

Do you like cool cars and video management systems? Well there is an event on the show floor you just won't be able to miss. This year, Costar Video is partnering up with Gas Monkey Garage and Richard Rawlings, famous from his show on the Discovery Channel, Fast N' Loud, to detail how Costar secures Rawlings' garage with their out of this world VMS. On Wednesday, Rawlings himself will be in Costar's booth to meet attendees. Make booth 2209 a definite first stop on your list.

One of the biggest issues in the security industry today is cybersecurity. Luckily, Razberi is an expert. This year they are showcasing their newest surveillance platform with network optimization, cybersecurity and remote health monitoring,

CameraDefense. The platform has already won the inaugural New Product of the Year award for the new CyberDefense category, so you know it is a must see in booth 3870.

Open Options will be touting a ton of partnerships, integrations and developments at the show this year, most notably Version 7 of their access control platform, DNA Fusion. This is Open Option's most advanced software release yet, with two decades of access control innovation and development to the Authentic Mercury open hardware platform. Version 7 features an updated user interface with enhanced capabilities and so much more. Get a demo at booth 625.

Are you on the hunt for the most cost-effective solution for moving from analog to digital video? Salient provides the industry's most straightforward, cost-effective approach to video surveillance. Salient's CompleteView VMS delivers both the simplest path to move from analog to digital video, and the power to control your security installations all from a single platform. With an additional sneak peek into their next-gen VMS platform, Salient's booth (4012) is impossible to pass up.

  • 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.
