ISC West 2019 preview – Part 1

Each year, the conference draws over 30,000 security professionals and showcases more than 1,000 exhibitors on the show floor. Here is a preview of what attendees can expect to see in the exhibit hall area, with information supplied by some of the major security manufacturers and service providers scheduled to appear.

AIPHONE – BOOTH: 23005

Aiphone introduced an updated JO Series video intercom which enables homeowners and small businesses to control front-door access onsite or from virtually anywhere using a cloud-based mobile app. The new entry-level unit also has built-in options for recording visitors. The updated JO Series provides door access using the best of both worlds — a hard-wired, in-home master station with 7-inch screen for instant contact with visitors or wireless control inside or outside a home or business via the mobile app. The Aiphone monitor acts like a video answering machine with built-in memory to store up to 10 audio and video recordings. If more memory is needed, there is space to add up to a 32GB Micro SD card. The only added cost is that of the SD card; there are no other storage or access fees. Up to eight smart devices can be connected to a single JO Series system. The app gives active, on-the-go users the ability to see and talk with visitors and unlock their door from both Apple or Android devices. The app also features a smart new way to unlock doors — a sliding button. This requires a purposeful motion intended to prevent users from accidentally unlocking their door.

ARTECO – BOOTH: 16115

Arteco’s Video Event Management Software (VEMS) allows organizations to identify the most relevant video and security information at any given time. This focus on highlighting the event enables users to analyze critical areas of interest, rather than sifting through hours of non-critical video footage. Arteco’s latest cannabis integration will be on display, which allows facilities in this market to combine VEMS with a seed-to-sale platform to create a comprehensive grow house management solution. This then transforms video security from a cost centre to an operational tool that gives cannabis facility managers more oversight and control. Arteco will also showcase its latest software solutions, including Arteco Face Recognition, which leverages deep learning and 3D technology to deliver rapid, accurate and scalable face recognition capabilities to meet evolving security and safety needs.

AXIS COMMUNICATIONS – BOOTH: 14051

The AXIS Q6215-LE PTZ Network Camera is a heavy-duty camera. It has a ½-inch sensor and delivers image quality in HDTV 1080p resolution with 30x zoom. Its built-in OptimizedIR infrared illumination allows for viewing range in total darkness (up to 1,300 ft.). Axis Lightfinder technology ensures performance in low-light conditions, and WDR provides forensic detail even in scenes with both extremely dark and extremely bright spots.

The camera’s robust design can withstand tough weather conditions including wind speed up to 150 mph, making it suitable for open-area surveillance in, for example, harbours or airports. AXIS Q6215-LE is compliant with MIL-STD-810G, IP66, IP68, IK10, and NEMA 4X. It can be mounted facing up or down and comes equipped with a wiper to remove excess water, rain or snow.

BOSCH – BOOTH: 11053

Bosch FLEXIDOME IP starlight 8000i fixed dome cameras enable simple installation and remote commissioning, detailed image capture in challenging light conditions, and smart data analysis for improved security and delivery of business insights.

The remote commissioning functionality of the FLEXIDOME IP starlight 8000i range enables users to work smarter. Now, using a tablet or smartphone with the Bosch Project Assistant app, the pan, tilt, roll and zoom (PTRZ) can be adjusted to set the required field of view without touching the camera. This can be done even post-installation should requirements change.

With a water resistance of IP66, vandal resistance of IK10+ and an operating temperature range of -50 to +60 degrees Celsius, the new FLEXIDOME IP starlight 8000i range is suitable for indoor and outdoor applications. There is also a high-quality, dual layer coating for added protection against corrosion.

Built-in intelligent video analytics help to increase the accuracy of the security solution by distinguishing between genuine security events and known false triggers caused by challenging environments (snow, wind, rain, hail, and water reflections). This makes it a suitable solution for high security applications and providing automatic object detection over large distances such as perimeter protection of airports, critical infrastructures, government buildings and traffic observation.

Another advantage presented by the ability to interpret video data at the source with intelligent video analytics is the monitoring of consumer patterns to deliver valuable business intelligence insights.
