IPVideo Corporation - Experts & Thought Leaders

IPVideo Corporation, a pioneering provider of physical security solutions, announced the company will introduce its iPanic multi-use panic button and newest team members in booth #524 at ISC East 2023 at New York City’s Javits Centre, November 15th-16th. ISC East is the pioneering event for the Northeast’s security and public safety community and showcases the latest innovations in the security industry. iPanic, a single card beacon with Bluetooth® LE 5.0 and a 30 ft. broadcasting transmission range, is designed to be easy to use in any emergency situation. If a user encounters danger or needs help, they simply press the panic button and a signal is sent to the cloud platform for an immediate response. ISC East attendees will see live demonstrations of iPanic and witness its interoperability as it integrates with the company’s award-winning HALO Smart Sensor 3C and SentryERS Lockdown & Emergency Response System. HALO Cloud app The app allows set personnel to receive real-time notifications on Apple® and Android™ devices The HALO Smart Sensor 3C, providing health and safety monitoring in privacy areas with no video or audio recording, will also be showcased alongside the HALO Cloud app. The app allows designated personnel to receive real-time notifications on Apple® and Android™ devices to monitor vape, air quality and safety events from an installed base of HALO Smart Sensors. SentryERS QuickCom IPVideo will also highlight its SentryERS Lockdown & Emergency Response System, a finalist in this year’s ASTORS' Homeland Security Awards in the ‘Best Mass Notification System’ category. Ideal for schools and buildings of all types, SentryERS offers staff, security teams, and first responders a flexible means to communicate during emergencies and get help to the scene quickly.  The system consists of two devices, a base unit with a lockdown button that can initiate lockdown protocols for an entire facility, and a dedicated SentryERS QuickCom. Each device has the capability to broadcast a live video stream and communicate with first responders, providing critical information in real-time.

Sadly, active shooter incidents have become so common that they no longer grab big headlines or dominate the news cycle. A near-constant cascade of active shooter events persists in the background of our collective consciousness, a familiar drumbeat that is no less tragic because it is continuous. As more active shooter incidents occur, the security marketplace continues to implement solutions to minimise the impact, including gunshot detection. We asked this week's Expert Panel Roundtable: What is the role of gunshot detectors in today’s security ecosystem? 

Assembling security solutions has long been considered the role of the integrator, whose role is to pick and choose the best technology tools and then to assemble the complete system. However, more manufacturers are offering pre-integrated end-to-end solutions that include multiple elements from the same manufacturer, designed to work seamlessly together. At the end of the day, end users want to know: Whose role is it to provide security ‘solutions’ – the manufacturer or the integrator? We asked our Expert Panel Roundtable.

Adoption of General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) by the European Union in 2016 set a new standard for data privacy. But adherence to GDPR is only one element, among many privacy concerns sweeping the global security community and leaving almost no product category untouched, from access control to video to biometrics. Because privacy concerns are more prevalent than ever, we asked this week’s Expert Panel Roundtable: What is the impact on the physical security market?
