ISC Solutions 2010, II: Highlighting practices, technologies that work
platforms to a combined approach using various technological components. Jerry Cordasco of G4S Monitoring & Data Center, an international security solutions group, Sharon Shaw of Integrator Support, and Holly Tsourides from VideoIQ, a proactive surveillance system manufacturer, will show the attendees how to implement this surveillance model into their company’s technological infrastructure.
In addition to the paid curriculum of sessions ISC Solutions has to offer, end-users may choose from many free educational sessions that have been jointly developed with several partners. There will be two Solutions Theaters located at the center of the exhibit hall where speakers from the electronic security industry, law enforcement, security directors, and other security professionals will describe the main challenges and actionable strategies in various market niches. The 3-tiered focus this year at ISC Solutions will include: Healthcare, campus, and government.
A government focused end-user panel discussion on U.S. Port Security will be hosted by members from Homeland Security NewsWire on Thursday, 4 November at 1:30 p.m.-2:15 p.m. The discussion will focus on the immense task of effectively screening the tens of thousands of ships that come in and out of U.S. ports every year carrying millions of cargo containers. Product importation and exportation using not only cargo ships, but truck drivers, port workers, and other intermediary forms of delivery complicate the process and leaving room for more error. The panel will examine the various technologies available to help secure ports without hindering the flow of commerce.
Before many law enforcement officers had the convenience of front-seat Internet connectivity, they used citation books, incident and accident reports, written field interviews, etc. Advances in technology have enabled law enforcement officers to use mobile data terminals (MDTs) and laptops to receive and transmit information quickly and quietly. Panelists Capt. Eugene Smith of Boise, Idaho, Police Department, and Richard Chown, director of business development at Getac, Inc., a manufacturer of ruggedized computing solutions and plastic and metal component module business, will discuss the value of MDTs and the latest security solutions available to law enforcement and government agencies in the session “Mobil Data Terminals for Law Enforcement: What’s New and on the Horizon” which will take place on Wednesday, 3 November at 11:30 a.m.-12:15 p.m.
Another government focused panel discussion will highlight what Chris Lindenau, director of sales, Moog VideoAlarm, and Sgt. Jeremy Taylor of Cordele, Georgia, Police Department believe to be a very profitable mode of communication the security industry has yet to embrace: “Using the Nation’s Cellular Network for Video Surveillance” will be presented on Thursday, 4 November at 3:30 p.m.-4:15 p.m.. The panelists will share their experiences from deploying cameras throughout the city of Cordele, Georgia and the 50 percent savings they reaped from using 3G and 4G cellular networks to transmit quality surveillance footage. The technology, according to the panelists, is both “reliable and configurable,” but presents itself as a resource untapped.
