Back to Work: After GSX 2019

GSX 2019 is behind us, yet there's still a LOT to be learned by our partners and by our team. GSX is a great opportunity to see the latest and greatest solutions and devices, however, figuring out how they fit into the real world comes next. While we're hitting the road hard starting today, you may be wondering what it is that we saw.

Below is a summary of our exhibit visits for all three days of GSX 2019. Once you've checked out the discussion interview videos below, let us know how we can take the information from online video to reality implementation for your next project.

DAY 1

We know everyone can't make it to the GSX show in person, so we're bringing it to you again. Steve, Tom, Brad, and Joe are finding the new, innovative solutions from our manufacturers on the exhibit floor and finding out why it makes sense to consider them for your next security project.

First thing on Tuesday morning, we arrived at GSX early to get focused and start getting to work. Steve wanted to dig deeper into new solutions for situational awareness from interactive maps to command center furniture design.

Our first exhibit visit was to Commend intercom for a pre-show meeting where we learned more about how their situational awareness software interface, Studio, combines emergency stations like OD10 and ID5, audio communication, and video camera streams into one intuitive workflow GUI for security officers. Below, Steve and Joe take a deeper look at why this topic is so important and what Commend is doing to meet the growing demand for a simplified solution.

Next, Steve and Joe headed over to Winsted to see how their team can help with command center and security desk furniture from layout of your room to ergonomic considerations like sit-stand desks. WELS furniture design software helps easily layout the furniture into your room graphically, so you know exactly what will fit into your allocated space.

One of the growing trends in the security industry is maintaining security in the lobby, at key doorways and entrances, and maintaining that equipment with ease and simplicity. Brad, Tom, and Steve stopped by Orion Entrance Control's exhibit to find one new solution, and instead found three in this now three-part series: command center software for entrance control management, turnstile maintenance and management software, and Secure DoorGuard™ for high accuracy tailgate detection that uses disruptive, solid state LiDAR technology. DoorGuard™ accurately determines when there’s an attempt to gain invalid entry through a secured access point.

Day 2

Day two at GSX 2019 started with an early breakfast meeting with the team from Southwest Microwave followed by a few very informative videos at their exhibit. What we thought would be one video about advancements in their INTREPID™ perimeter intrusion detection system, again turned into three very helpful bits of information: saving time and money with IP-based perimeter intrusion detection, top 3 questions, and command center solutions for perimeter alarm notification.

Saving Time and Money with IP-based Perimeter Intrusion Detection

By deploying an IP-based perimeter intrusion detection system, there's a significant reduction in data and power wiring infrastructure. Plus, IP-based systems can easily be serviced across the network, reducing hands-on maintenance and troubleshooting.

Command Center Solutions for Perimeter Alarm Notification

Steve continues the conversations related to handling alarm events in a command center by discussing how fence detection alarms are presented to a security officer within the video management system user interface.

Top 2 Questions Asked About Perimeter Intrusion Detection Systems

Demystifying security technology is important when searching for the optimal solution. Consideration must be given to design options, reliability, and ease of installation and maintenance. In this video, Tom and Steve discuss the top 2 questions they face when discussing perimeter intrusion detection solutions:

What are the considerations and differences between fiber optic and copper cables?
What happens if a cable is cut or damaged?

Next we headed to the EIZO exhibit, known for their all-in-one DuraVision IP monitor and decoder solution, to learn about their new stand-alone decoder hardware platform DX0211-IP IP Decoding Box.

Day 3

Day 3 at GSX 2019 started with an early pre-opening arrival to the Bosch Security and Safety Systems exhibit to beat the crowd. Steve, Tom, Brad, and Joe took a look at a wide range of camera systems and software launches and upgrades including:
