Dealers and Integrators


Foundation for Success

DORTRONICS' reputation for in-house engineering expertise and production capabilities was recently put to the test while being faced with a situation when a specified switch assembly purchased from another company was not measuring up to Dortronics' standards.

The Right Stuff

WHEN you consider the investment companies have made in analog devices, moving to IP can be a difficult task.

Supermarket Hype

WHEN Carrefour, one of the largest food retailers in the world, expanded its presence of hypermarkets across three continents, the company hired security system integrator UTI to establish loss prevention systems within the unique shopping environment.

The Big Bang

AS the technology drums continue to beat in support of Internet Protocol video security solutions, many may wonder about its impact on the business community -- most notably, on those organizations that have invested heavily in their legacy analog components.

Industry Insight

WHEN you reflect upon the past few decades of the security industry, it's apparent that technology has played a significant role in the development of products and in the advancements within the industry. There has been a growing trend to increase the level of sophistication within security systems -- to move away from disparate components that do not work in tandem with other security equipment and, therefore, are unable to provide a more cohesive security system.

Retail Security Goes High-Tech

MANY retail owners are not getting all they can out of their security systems. This is either because they are using outdated technology, they haven't been told how to use all of the features their systems possess or they simply do not have their systems set up in the best possible manner.

The Educated Consumer

AS an end user, it's important to understand the market as a whole and the individual product you're purchasing. Warranties are just one area that must be clarified. The more educated you as a consumer are, the more successful you'll be at your job.

Industry Insight

SPEAKING with security dealers and systems integrators across the country, it is interesting to hear them talk about the state of our industry as it relates to video surveillance. Most are excited and express a high degree of optimism about the opportunities they see on the horizon.
