As the Global Security Exchange (GSX) nears, Security magazine has a roundup of some of the new security solutions to be displayed and demonstrated at the show.
Today, the world’s leading enterprises are going even further to unlock greater efficiencies and new and innovative capabilities well beyond the original security functions. The most sophisticated implementations of visitor management and access control are affecting many more stakeholders of the business – and it looks like it’s only the beginning.
Advanced VMS solutions are increasingly integrated with most hardware implementations to ensure that an organization’s business operations, risk mitigation and security objectives are aligned. This is becoming even more of a challenge with the complexity of evolving physical security systems. Yet, there are great opportunities for cutting-edge VMS platforms to excel.
Harris County, Texas, the third most populous county in the U.S., is deploying a new, next-generation security system in its buildings that will help make them more efficient and easier to operate. The new system replaces multiple, disparate systems by integrating access control, security cameras, alarms and monitoring across the county’s nearly 150 buildings situated over 1,777 square miles in Houston and the surrounding areas.
The Seattle Theatre Group (STG) recently used a cloud video surveillance to solve their surveillance and server management challenges. The solution helped STG streamline their video security infrastructure by being compatible with existing IP cameras and networks.
A multi-country survey of organizations running video monitoring systems, conducted by Ava Security, found that U.S. firms are avidly repurposing their existing video monitoring systems to support the ‘COVID Safe’ return to offices and workplaces across North America.
Keeping unauthorized intruders from entering a business location is a critical part of protecting corporate assets. Perimeters are the first line of defense but do not conform to a ‘one-size-fits-all’ safeguarding solution. Selection criteria for the most suitable Perimeter Intrusion Detection System (PIDS) must take into consideration perimeter length, topography, environmental conditions, and future site expansion plans.
Marriott International’s largest Marriot property in the world, the Gaylord Opryland Resort and Convention Center in Nashville needed a security upgrade at its sprawling campus to enhance security and efficiency, and its risk management operations. Learn about the resort’s video surveillance and video management system installation.
When it comes to intelligent video surveillance in particular, AI-driven products are beginning to unlock new functionality, and even change the role video surveillance plays for companies. From better sensors to higher resolution cameras to more efficient processing units, we're seeing an unparalleled convergence of hardware and software. And that's creating new opportunities for everything from intelligent threat detection to personalized customer experiences. We're just at the beginning of this journey, but it's clear that best practices are changing. Seemingly in real-time, security professionals are reimagining how they'll build their teams, structure engagements and define their value. We're all still building the playbook as we use it, but here are four new, unspoken "rules" for the new world of security - and how they'll continue to evolve thanks to AI.
