ISC West 2026 Surges with AI Innovation and Record Crowds

From packed aisles and AI breakthroughs to the rise of mobile surveillance, the security industry is hitting its stride with a new era of digital content.

For the first time in a lot of years, ISC West has exceeded expectations.

What a pleasant surprise to see throngs of people crowding the booth space.

The theme of the day seemed a little more on target as AI solutions were discussed everywhere.

With booth space at a premium, it was great fun taking a trip back in time at their rendition of The Louvue. It’s certainly a favorite place of mine.

I had a great conversation at LVT about building out a video surveillance trailer. The surveillance trailer is a huge new market that is spreading coast to coast.

Looking forward to our next few print issues, where I will be introducing new authors and new points of view. I’m also going to make better use of the digital landscape, as some new authors will be posting fresh reads in a digital format.

The industry is moving in the right direction, and we’ll all have to sit up straight and pay attention.

Final day today, let’s see if it becomes a ghost town. Hooray for show organizers for a brilliant ISC West experience.
