When it comes to shopping, some people can spend hours wandering the floors of a department store — others would prefer getting lost in the aisles of their friendly neighborhood security product distributor. On a recent visit to one of ADI’s 95-plus branches, SDM found quite a bit more than your average, garden-variety security equipment. From ingenious installer tools, to futuristic accessories, to the newest technologies all vying for attention in one place, here are seven things you might not expect to spot at an ADI branch.

How to stay at the top of your game? Stay attuned to change, specifically to game changer technology platforms, including the ones discussed in this article, that are poised to take security from ‘what it is’ to ‘what it will be.’ Almost everyone has heard a version of Isaac Asimov’s famous quote, “The only constant is change,” which is a translated version of a quote by Heraclitus, a 500 B.C.
