The promotion will celebrate the company’s name change from G4S Wackenhut to G4S. To win an iPad, attendees must have their entry cards stamped with all three elements the new G4S provides to customers — technology, manpower and innovation.

This lets security professionals cover the same area with fewer cameras. These high-resolution imagers provide better image detail, superior range performance, wider coverage areas, and more reliable results when used with video analytics.

Videx invites you to stop by its booth at ASIS, where it will be showcasing the new CyberKey Vault 20. This smart key cabinet offers a whole new level of accountability and key control. Electronic keys that are stored in the vault contain no permissions to open any locks in a facility. When an employee needs a key, their RFID card or PIN must be entered to open the vault and request a key to be programmed and released. The key that is released contains the access permissions specific only to that person so they can do their job: what locks they may open and when. The vault keeps management informed through the audit reports and alerts that are automatically sent to them.

 

Infinova will showcase its partnership with Milestone, in which Infinova’s integrators and distributors can help customers control video surveillance, reduce maintenance costs and protect their business environment by offering Infinova megapixel and IP cameras installed with Milestone Systems XProtect Video Management software. Because Milestone’s products are based on an open platform that uses the TCP/IP network protocol, Infinova integrators and their customers will be able to build the video surveillance solutions using standard video and computer hardware.
