Added Value – Times must be hard.

With all the worlds’ media proclaiming economic doom, everyone must be seen to be reducing cost, cutting back, and with this in mind Honeywell have just announced their range of added Value cameras.

Targeting a range of customers within the commercial sector Honeywell have acted upon customers request for cameras that offer both performance and competitive pricing. The majority of the cameras in the Performance Series feature IR LEDs that activate when the ambient light drops below a user-defined threshold, enabling around-the-clock surveillance in extreme low-light applications. The full story can be found as our Product of the Month.

Moving on from that positive news, Justin Bentley, IPSA Chief Exec has followed up on a question raised by Bobby Logue, on his website www.infologue.com, asking for the SIA to release the critical independent delivery review, which had led to the departure of the then SIA CEO Mike Wilson.

Justin points out “for a body which has added countless levels of administrative burden to the industry and an inspection scheme which strays far away from quality of service delivery, it appears that they had been lacking in numerous areas of best practice themselves.”

As it seems is always the way with any Government appointed bodies, they are falling over their own bureaucracy, with admin systems slowing down individuals attempts to work. Justin is not completely scathing of the SIA, he admits that since their launch they have significantly improved on the initial systems but more needs to be done.

Also an advanced reminder that in April every year, key members of the security industry in Russia and the CIS gather to discuss trends in the industry and test out the latest offerings from domestic and international suppliers. The venue for this annual gathering is the Moscow International Protection and Security Exhibition – MIPS. MIPS is planned for the 13-16 April 2009. Furthermore, for the first time ever, CARDEX - the International Smart Card & IT Security Exhibition - will be co-located with MIPS 2009. CARDEX is a specialised forum, introducing the most recent achievements in plastic cards industry and the latest technologies for information security.

This year, MIPS is celebrating its 15th anniversary and new sections have been introduced, which are Fire Safety & Fire-Fighting, Access Control Solutions & CCTV & Video Surveillance. A new pavilion has been added to accommodate the growing exhibition.

Our first Independent feature will publish next week focusing on Alarm Systems and is supported by the SSAIB. Any releases for the feature should be emailed to news@prosecrizine.com before end of play Friday. The new feature will also showcase our new look, which we hope you like.
