ASIS 2012 in Philadelphia last week was a showcase for the latest and greatest in security technology and equipment. In retrospect, one of the coolest and cutting-edgiest product launches we were privy to -- and there were many, as there are every year -- was the new EyeSwipe Nano TS from Stanley Security Solutions.

I like Philadelphia. It seems like a nice place to host a tradeshow. The convention center, its location and the city in general were a great host for ASIS 2012.

PSIM (Physical Security Information Management) is one of the buzzwords floating in the very air of ASIS 2012 -- and, indeed, in the entire security industry these days -- but it seems when most people, even seasoned security professionals, utter the acronym they are confusing it for the mere integration of physical security systems in an enterprise.

The ASIS expo is, annually, a world-class cornucopia of all manner imaginable of security-related products and services. On display at the hundreds of booths are all varieties of high-tech surveillance cameras, high-tech software, high-tech card printers and high-tech you name it.

One day after the anniversary of 9/11 and within the same hour of President Obama issuing a statement condemning the attack on the U.S. consulate in Libya that on Tuesday killed four Americans, including U.S. Ambassador to Libya Christopher Stevens, former U.S. Defense Secretary Robert Gates took the stage at ASIS 2012 taking place here at the Pennsylvania Convention Center, delivering Wednesday’s keynote address and beginning the day’s educational program. He was only a couple of minutes late.

One of the exciting aspects of large industry gatherings like this week’s ASIS 2012 is that it is the occasion smart companies use to announce big news and launch new products and services. Industry giant Honeywell did just that, timing the release of its flagship Pro-Watch 4.0 security management platform with the event.

Panasonic is showcasing its new 360-degree panoramic 3.0 megapixel dome cameras that set a new benchmark for wide area surveillance here at ASIS 2012
Maybe starting a tradeshow on a Monday isn't the best idea, but Day Two of ASIS looked like a whooping success. Exhibitors bring their "A Game" for the second day and there seemed liked plenty of attendees to go around.
