3xLOGIC Webinar Introduces New Features and Enhancements for VIGIL CLOUD

3xLOGIC Webinar to Introduce New Features and Enhancements for VIGIL CLOUD Offering | #TpromoCom | Company will provide dealers and integrators with insight into its cloud offering, including new mobile app and search capabilities https://bit.ly/3n7Glid

 

Fishers, Indiana (October 19, 2021) – For dealers and integrators working with or looking to work with the cloud, 3xLOGIC is hosting a webinar Thursday, October, 28, at 2 p.m. ET to unveil a number of new features for its VIGIL CLOUD offering. 

 

Building on 3xLOGIC’s 20-plus years of experience recording and managing video, VIGIL CLOUD brings a new paradigm to physical security through a powerful case management system that empowers users to share critical information and insights easily and quickly with team members and other stakeholders from anywhere, at any time, on any device.  

Leveraging cloud technology’s economical cost of deployment, VIGIL CLOUD delivers the holistic view of security systems that users have been looking for, enabling them to see their security in a whole new way and to get clarity from the cloud. 

 

The hour-long webinar will provide attendees with in-depth information about VIGIL CLOUD, including a number of new features designed to help dealers and integrators grow their business with a robust, cloud-based solution. 

 

Smart Search 

With the new Smart Search capability, VIGIL CLOUD users can quickly and easily identify and review events of interests, resulting in more accurate and efficient investigation. Providing seamless functionality between 3xLOGIC VIGIL CLOUD Server and client-based solutions and the VIGIL CLOUD offering, Smart Search allows users to focus their searches on just the areas or frames that most interest them. The intuitive, user-friendly interface allows users to narrow down their footage search results by selecting as many or as few blocks of the image as they wish to search within the playback field of view. Once a filter has been applied, Smart Search reviews the visible timeline and returns only the motion events in selected areas that are of most interest, with any motion detected within regions of interest displayed along the playback timeline. From this review, users can capture video clips, case management, and still images. Users can also change the Smart Search’s sensitivity to determine how much motion is required to trigger an event. 

 

VIGIL CLOUD Mobile App 

3xLOGIC’s new VIGIL CLOUD mobile app for iOS and Android puts the power of VIGIL CLOUD in users’ hands, providing instant access to live and recorded video from anywhere, at any time. The app also allows users to configure playback options to their preferences and access a case management tool for commenting and changing status. For ease of use, the app’s dashboard provides quick and intuitive access to most recently viewed cameras, cases, and locations.

Boon Edam to Demonstrate Touchless, Automatic Security Doors and Turnstiles at ISC West

Boon Edam to Demonstrate Touchless, Automatic Security Doors and Turnstiles at ISC West |  #TpromoCom #BoonEdam #Security #ISC #Event | Security entrance leader will be in attendance at ISC West 2021, the first national, in-person security exhibition since COVID-19. https://bit.ly/3cAyWU6

Lillington, North Carolina, June 9, 2021 – Boon Edam Inc., a global leader in security entrances and architectural revolving doors, today announced they will be displaying contactless security doors and turnstiles, including a new optical turnstile, the Speedlane Compact, in booth #8037 at the ISC West exhibition in Las Vegas on July 19-21. ISC West is the largest security event in North America, bringing together thousands of security and safety professionals for networking, education and discovery of new technology. All of Boon Edam’s security entrances will be paired with the latest in access control and biometric technologies to demonstrate a seamless solution for attendees. They are also the official turnstile sponsor of the show.

Prioritizing Exhibitor and Attendee Safety

The ISC West exhibition will be the first national, in-person event since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. Boon Edam is in open communication with ISC West on their plans to prioritize the safety and security of both exhibition staff and event attendees. All Boon Edam booth staff will be wearing masks and adhering to social distancing requirements as mandated by the event.

 â€œBoon Edam is ready to safely resume physical security conversations at ISC West this year,” said Valerie Currin, CEO and Managing Director of Boon Edam Inc. “Our customers are requiring hands-free entry solutions that mitigate tailgating and piggybacking. Our ISC West booth this year will showcase exactly what our customers have been asking for in this new security landscape.”

 Integrated Technologies for a Touchless Entry Experience

The COVID-19 pandemic has created a requirement for contactless, hands-free entry into all facilities and campuses. Security professionals are challenged to provide these touchless entrances without compromising physical security. Boon Edam will be featuring all its touchless security entrances that enable security professionals to deter, detect and prevent unauthorized entry at their facilities. Each entrance product will be fully integrated with third-party touchless access control technologies that are available on the market today.

The following solutions will be on display in Boon Edam’s booth:

NEW Speedlane Compact Optical Turnstile: This new turnstile solution was created out of a market need for a premium quality, swinging barrier turnstile with a small footprint – making it ideal for building retrofits. The Speedlane Compact maintains the same level of tailgating deterrence and detection of its larger turnstile counterparts while offering easy installation and integration with access technologies. The Compact will include an HID card reader installed inside the cabinet.

Lifeline Speedlane Swing Optical Turnstile with Lifeline Boost Access Control Pedestal: This slim, swinging optical turnstile will feature a unique, white powder coated finish and mid-height glass barriers for tailgating detection. The turnstile will be integrated with Boon Edam’s Boost pedestal, which is specially designed to complement the aesthetics of the Lifeline optical turnstile series and house virtually any access technology inside. The Boost will include the latest version of Essex’s credential card reader, the iRox-T, which now features Bluetooth and OSDP capabilities that expand HID Global’s Mobile Access solutions. 

Tourlock 180 Security Revolving Door: The unmanned security entrance of choice for the Fortune 500, the Tourlock provides the highest level of bidirectional traffic throughput while preventing unauthorized entry. The Tourlock in Boon Edam’s booth will include StereoVision® piggybacking detection technology and an AMAG Symmetry card reader to demonstrate the combination of fast throughput with high security.

Circlelock Solo Security Mantrap Portal: Offering the highest level of security available in an entrance, the Circlelock security portal uses StereoVision® technology to prevent intrusion into the most sensitive locations, such as data centers and executive suites. The portal will be configured to demonstrate two-factor authentication: an AMAG Symmetry card reader on the outside of the portal conducts the initial authorization, while facial recognition technology provides instant authentication inside the portal: the secure, edge-based facial authentication access control device by Alcatraz AI, called the Rock, ensures only the right person can enter.

Industry Pros Talk High Security For Cannabis Industry

Industry Pros Talk High Security For Cannabis Industry | #TpromoCom #AlarmCom #Webinar #Security #Event | Jake Voll, president of SS&Si Dealer Network, and Tyler Kockler with Alarm.com have teamed up to present a panel discussion on leveraging 'Alarm.com for Business' to provide a bundled security, video, and access control solution for the cannabis industry. http://bit.ly/2Nt4fH2

The next significant trend in physical security centers on the protection of cannabis dispensaries throughout the United States. According to a market report, published by Reportlinker, the cannabis market is expected to reach USD $104.9 Billion by 2027, expanding at a CAGR of 15.5 percent over the same time period. Given the monetary value of cannabis products, Security Dealers and Integrators across the nation should find this segment of the security market profitable.

Voll and Kockler have invited two top security integrators who have been extremely successful providing security solutions to the cannabis industry to share their experience and expertise in this lucrative segment of the security market.

"The cannabis industry in New England is rightly regulated, and American Alarm and Communications Inc. has earned an excellent reputation as the experts in security for cannabis grows and dispensaries," says Andy Klein, integrated systems consultant with American Alarm.

Halfway across the country, Alcom Security has successfully tapped into Oklahoma's cannabis industry network to secure numerous facilities throughout the state.

"We're excited to share our expertise with other firms in our industry. While we intend to remain the foremost experts on security for cannabis facilities in Oklahoma, we recognize that the opportunity to support the industry extends well beyond our service area," says Taylor McKinney, operations manager with Alcom.

Both Alcom Security and American Alarm and Communications Inc. leverage the 'Alarm.com for Business' platform in order to win commercial accounts outside of the cannabis industry. Business owners and managers enjoy the convenience of a single platform on which to manage their security, access, and video.

"Tyler and I are happy to collaborate in order to educate dealers on the opportunities found in the cannabis industry," says SS&Si's Jake Voll. "We appreciate the tremendous support from the Alarm.com team and we're excited to see continued and mutual growth as we focus on commercial security solutions for our shared dealer partners."

• Avi Barel, Director, Business Development, ULE Alliance
• Doug Bellenger, Head of Product, DIY, ADT
• Jean Claude Bennoun, Business Development Manager, Crow Electronic Engineering Ltd
• Jennifer Kent, Senior Director, Parks Associates
• Bill Scheffler, VP Business Development, DSP Group

Webinar Topics:

• Consumer data on smart speaker/display adoption
• Adoption and usage of multiple speakers per household
• Voice as an interface for security systems and products
• Benefits of combining voice and data for product design
• Key metrics as OEMs and service providers evaluate standards for voice integration
• Use cases that need reliable QoS
• Two-way voice use cases

Parks Associates Consumer Data:

• 74% of smart home device owners also own a smart speaker.
• 18% of US broadband households report that COVID-19 has increased their interest in products and services that enable “touchless” control of smart home devices using voice control.
