Johnson Controls ASIS 2017 Booth Preview

Johnson Controls will feature the following products from its Tyco Security Products portfolio at ASIS 2017:

exacqVision 8.6: exacqVision 8.6 offers improved video searching and video bookmarking, as well as a host of enhancements that improve the user experience and overall system protection.  Users can now leverage event information from intrusion and access control systems to improve search results and provide a comprehensive security picture. They can also more easily tag and retain important video by searching on access control badge numbers to obtain video of all entry points a specific employee has accessed without needing to set up metadata alarm events. Improved bookmarking and case management tools save significant time when generating critical video evidence by allowing quick creation of cases directly from Live view without the need for a full video search. To provide more stringent protection against cyber-attacks, exacqVision now offers complex passwords and system lockout criteria. Plus, users can now better monitor the health of their surveillance environment with a free trial of Enterprise System Manager, a centralized health monitoring and software updating system.

American Dynamics victor VE 5.0: victor and VideoEdge 5.0 debuts a transformed, contemporary user interface and new detection and analytics features that boost the visibility of a customer’s security environment. Victor and VideoEdge 5.0 adds a rich feature set that includes license plate-recognition, perimeter detection, edge-based SD-card failover redundancy and several other advanced surveillance features, delivering greater command and control capabilities when time is of the essence. The newly enhanced user interface of the victor video management system (VMS) simplifies day-to-day activities for security operators with both dark and light theme options well-suited for dimly-lit command center environments. The interface offers a reimagined “home” view that remembers frequently-used features simplifying forensic investigating and live viewing. Workflow functions have also been redesigned to be more intuitive and a new navigation bar and variety of menu filters put usability at the center of the victor VMS experience.

Illustra Flex 3MP cameras: The next generation of Illustra Flex 3MP cameras features P-iris lenses and TrickleStor to provide optimal image quality and reliability, and the convenience and efficiency of bandwidth management of the camera using Illustra® IntelliZip compression technology. This embedded technology monitors and adjusts system-streaming parameters, matching the camera’s field of view activity. Video quality is automatically adjusted when motion is detected to ensure detail quality is maintained. The camera readjusts when activity ceases to help reduce network bandwidth usage and video storage requirements. TrickleStor allows the cameras to record video at the edge, even if an outage takes place. If an interruption or stoppage occurs, the camera will begin video recording to its SD card. Once the connection between the camera and NVR resumes, TrickleStor will transfer the video from the SD card to the NVR, ensuring uninterrupted video. The Flex 3MP product family adheres to the rigorous standards of the Tyco Security Products Cyber Protection Program, a six-part approach to proactively monitoring and managing risk.

Kantech EntraPass Go Pass Mobile App with Apple Watch® Support: Pay for coffee with your phone, board an airplane with your phone…and now access secured areas with your phone and other iOS mobile devices. EntraPass Go Pass allows users with appropriate credentials to quickly and conveniently access secured areas with a few taps of a mobile device including an Apple Watch. A leap forward in convenience, EntraPass Go Pass turns an iOS mobile device into an access control credential. Using EntraPass Go Pass on an Apple Watch makes credential use even easier. Instead of searching through a bag or pocket for a smart phone, you can push a button on your watch when you enter or exit a restricted area. You can save doors that you access frequently into a Favorite list for quick and easy access. Once the app connects to the Kantech EntraPass server, it presents you with a list of doors that you are authorized to enter… just as if you had an access card.
