Cloud-based video services can make a security integrator’s life easier in terms of installation, customer service and maintenance.

A continuing strong economy, end user desires to do more with their access control systems and increasing interest in new technologies, integrations and models all led to a positive outlook in 2019 and a general feeling of optimism for 2020, with a few notes of caution.

When discussing video storage technologies and products, there are many acronyms and terms that are thrown around. But what, exactly, do they mean?

There was a time not too long ago when choosing the card and reader for an access control installation consisted of which proximity reader style from a limited number of suppliers you liked and how many 125 kHz cards or fobs you needed to purchase.

Reed Exhibitions, the organizers of ISC West, issued a statement today explaining ISC West 2020 will be postponed until July.

ISC West is a foundational event in the security industry, providing a space to network, share insights and discover the latest advancements.
