Las Vegas, April 12, 2018 -- Insights and a first look at cutting-edge products from Taiwan’s top innovators —EverFocus, GeoVision, PLANET and VIVOTEK—were the highlights of Wednesday’s press conference at ISC West 2018, organized by the Taiwan External Trade Development Council (TAITRA), Taiwan’s foremost trade promotion organization. These breakthrough products, with potential to transform the global security market, include a futuristic Virtual Reality 720° camera, a facial recognition dome camera, a cutting-edge Internet of Vehicle (IoV) fleet surveillance system, an IP camera armed with anti-intrusion software, and a next-gen intuitive color touch LCD switch.

EverFocus Electronics Corp. demonstrated its engineering and research prowess with the unveiling of the company’s XFleet Management Platform which will not only transform the IoV experience but the future of vehicle fleet management.

Marques Phillips, Regional Technical Sales Manager from EverFocus Electronics said: “Transforming the IoV (Internet of Vehicles) experience, our XFleet Management Platform is the future of vehicle fleet management. The new solution locates and tracks vehicles anywhere, monitors events as they happen on the road, and makes it possible to look at footage for incident review, thereby increasing fleet safety and security.” 

GeoVision Inc. showed off the VR 360, the world’s first Virtual Reality camera that can provide a 720° view, making it ideal for security environments such as airports, train stations, city streets, harbors and highways.

“The security industry is experiencing an innovation wave, and this is particularly evident in the application of artificial intelligence to video surveillance. GeoVision is proud to be part of this wave with our line of smart IP cameras, and thrilled to introduce the first 720° VR camera and facial recognition camera to the world,” said David Huang, President of GeoVision.

The new Intuitive Touch LCD Switch from PLANET Technology Corp. makes it possible to easily manage powered devices in real time, greatly enhancing network management efficiency.

“With intelligent PoE (power-over-Ethernet), ERPS (Ethernet Ring Protection Switching) ring and ONVIF functions, PLANET’s Color Touch LCD PoE Switch Solution not only boosts the surveillance network management efficiency but also ensures the uninterrupted data transmission of surveillance networks,” said Tammy Huang, Sales Manager, North America at PLANET Technology Corporation.

And the first cybersecurity enhanced network cameras in the IP surveillance industry were showcased by VIVOTEK Inc.; the three new cameras are armed with Trend Micro’s anti-intrusion software, allowing them to automatically detect and prevent credential attacks and block suspicious events.

“At VIVOTEK, we take cybersecurity seriously, and that’s why we are excited to introduce a series of cameras that are embedded with Trend Micro’s anti-intrusion software that automatically detect and prevent credential-based attack as well as block suspicious events in our fixed dome network cameras (FD9165-HT and FD9365-HTV) and outdoor bullet network camera (IB9365-HT),” said Shengful Cheng, Vivotek Director of Marketing and Product Development
