Back to the Future

Back to the Future

Catchy title for a movie, right? Seems like ISC West is back and the future looks strong.

For starters, it’s terrific to actually see old friends, and opportunity to make new acquaintances.

Traffic on the show floor was amazing, and I’m hoping today’s event is just as strong.

There are numerous new solutions, of which you’ll find in our post-tradeshow electronic Product Showcase.

Manufacturers are genuinely excited to show off new technology. End users and integrators I’ve talked to are pleased with what they see, feel and examine.

Yes, it’s nice to be back in person.

My media friends and I were able to visit with dealers and partners of Altronix on Tuesday evening. Al Forman throws a bash to get it all started. We’ve been doing this for a few years now. Thanks Al, great to see you.

Wednesday morning was the annual Axis Communications press breakfast. It was a terrific presentation of Martin Gren and Fredrik Nilsson explaining partnerships, consistency and forward thinking. Thank you gentlemen, nice breakfast and great to see you to kick off the show.

  • ResponderLink

    ResponderLink

    Shooter Detection Systems (SDS), an Alarm.com company and a global leader in gunshot detection solutions, has introduced ResponderLink, a groundbreaking new 911 notification service for gunshot events. ResponderLink completes the circle from detection to 911 notification to first responder awareness, giving law enforcement enhanced situational intelligence they urgently need to save lives. Integrating SDS’s proven gunshot detection system with Noonlight’s SendPolice platform, ResponderLink is the first solution to automatically deliver real-time gunshot detection data to 911 call centers and first responders. When shots are detected, the 911 dispatching center, also known as the Public Safety Answering Point or PSAP, is contacted based on the gunfire location, enabling faster initiation of life-saving emergency protocols.

    Luma x20

    Snap One has announced its popular Luma x20 family of surveillance products now offers even greater security and privacy for home and business owners across the globe by giving them full control over integrators’ system access to view live and recorded video. According to Snap One Product Manager Derek Webb, the new “customer handoff” feature provides enhanced user control after initial installation, allowing the owners to have total privacy while also making it easy to reinstate integrator access when maintenance or assistance is required. This new feature is now available to all Luma x20 users globally. “The Luma x20 family of surveillance solutions provides excellent image and audio capture, and with the new customer handoff feature, it now offers absolute privacy for camera feeds and recordings,” Webb said. “With notifications and integrator access controlled through the powerful OvrC remote system management platform, it’s easy for integrators to give their clients full control of their footage and then to get temporary access from the client for any troubleshooting needs.”
