Registration Opens for 2026 OPSTech Conference

The Monitoring Association launches registration for its late-summer operations and technology event in Dallas.

Professional monitoring and security leaders can now secure their spots for an interactive industry gathering scheduled for later this year.

The Monitoring Association announced that registration is officially open for its annual OPSTech Conference, which will take place from Aug. 31 to Sept. 2 in Dallas. The event serves as a central meeting point for operations managers, technology innovators and security solutions providers across the monitoring ecosystem.

Unlike standard corporate conventions, this gathering prioritizes peer-to-peer engagement and practical, collaborative problem-solving. Attendees will participate in open dialogues and working sessions designed to address real-world operational challenges, sharing strategies to streamline modern monitoring centers.

Facilitated discussions this year will focus heavily on emerging technologies, including artificial intelligence, automation, video monitoring, operational efficiency and leadership.

A central highlight of the three-day program is an exclusive, firsthand tour of a local operations hub. This year, COPS Monitoring will host attendees at its Lewisville facility to demonstrate the infrastructure behind large-scale, redundant wholesale alarm monitoring.

Organizers plan to release the full program schedule, including specific session topics and guest speakers, later this summer. Reduced early-bird registration rates are available for association members who sign up before mid-July.

    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.”

    Delta Scientific’s electric HD2055 modular shallow foundation barricade is tested to ASTM M50/P1 with negative penetration from the vehicle upon impact. With a shallow foundation of only 24 inches, the HD2055 can be installed without worrying about buried power lines and other below grade obstructions. The modular make-up of the barrier also allows you to cover wider roadways by adding additional modules to the system. The HD2055 boasts an Emergency Fast Operation of 1.5 seconds giving the guard ample time to deploy under a high threat situation.

  • 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.
