Storms in the Channel

All too often, the emphasis and focus in the security industry is on new products, new applications or new technologies. But in order for these advances to deliver their potential to customers, they must find their way through the marketing channel of integrators, distributors, manufacturer rep firms and various contractors.

A Conversation with Jill Johnston

As the security industry plows forward with new technology, products and ideas, there is the ever-present worry that some of the best available products will have to contend with knockoffs from China. It seems to happen in every industry, but maybe more so in the security market, to the chagrin of security manufacturers. During a conversation we had during ASIS 2010 with KJB Technologies President Jill Johnston, we wanted to know more.

Why Should Camera Specifiers Care?

They’ve always been the Achilles’ heel of video surveillance, whether analog or digital cameras are involved: those nasty shadows, glares, reflections and direct sunlight that turn captured images into darkness or wash them into a brilliant, undetectable white. Higher-resolution cameras simply exacerbate the problem.

Shop Customer Satisfaction

With ISC West coming up on the docket, it will be interesting to see what video vendors will be emphasizing. Odds are that we will see scores of messages about better widgets -- higher-resolution cameras, unique VMS software, clever storage schemes and the like.
