There are few experiences more alarming than being a victim of theft or burglary. Whether it’s your home, your car or your business, the violation of your valuables leaves behind an anxious feeling that is hard to shake.

For this reason, investing in security is a top priority for many Americans. But how effective are modern security systems?

Scott Hightower, President of Verified Security, said security systems are more powerful than ever before thanks to the fast, interconnected nature of IoT (Internet of Things). High-speed internet has allowed security systems to evolve in a revolutionary way, making lives easier, safer and more secure. Thing Tech explores just how security is changing in this episode, diving deep into use cases that help save businesses time and money.

Security systems used to be the analog stuff of the electronics industry, Hightower said, but with broadband-enabled services and interconnected networks, security systems have evolved to include real-time motion sensors, remote operated keypads and mobile cam viewing. Whether in a church, school or facility warehouse, security managers are feeling the difference in how IoT has made their job more efficient, more effective and more accurate.

With 4G, and 5G on the rise, Hightower said security systems are only becoming more valuable. With faster real-time tracking, businesses can monitor not only the goings-on of their facility, but also the location of valuable assets like tools and company cars.

Hightower said one thing remains the same about security—time is money. With IoT at the root of advanced security systems, monitoring has become faster, more accurate and easier for the end-user, raising the bar for everyone. The security systems of today monitor incidents before they happen and stopping theft in its tracks.

Transcoding moves to the cloud. Intercom, tally and shading stay at the venue

Transcoding moves to the cloud. Intercom, tally and shading stay at the venue

Vendors draw the same line: transcoding and graphics move to the cloud, while intercom, tally and camera shading stay on site. Riedel says the connection back to on-site talent, cameras, tally and IFB can still undermine the production or the business case. Hybrid now looks like the end state.

  • 01Dillon argues hybrid cloud-plus-venue production is the end state, so on-site hardware for latency-bound work belongs in long-term facility plans.
  • 02Interoperability standards such as SMPTE ST 2110 and NMOS handle the plumbing. The question to put to vendors now is how their systems provision, configure, tear down and monitor services alongside other vendors' gear.

Vindral shares an Emmy honour for frame-accurate browser monitoring

Vindral shares an Emmy honour for frame-accurate browser monitoring

Vindral shares an Emmy honour in a category described as web-based, frame-accurate, remote and distributed. Vindral shares the category with NBCUniversal, Disney, Amazon, CBS Sports, Grass Valley, Game Creek and SipRadius. The award recognises tools that keep production teams in separate locations frame-accurate in a browser, without specialised hardware.

  • 01The Emmy-recognised technical bar is that everyone on a distributed production sees the exact same frame at the exact same moment in an ordinary browser, with no specialised hardware.
  • 02Eight organizations share the award, and the release says the work being honored dates to the pandemic. The announcement doesn’t rank the honourees or include latency figures a buyer could benchmark.

Certified Teams Rooms kit from Nureva and AudioCodes needs no ceiling mics

Nureva and AudioCodes earned Microsoft Teams Rooms certification for an Android setup for medium rooms: Nureva’s HDL310 plus three AudioCodes devices.

It helps IT teams standardize repeatable rooms, while certification tests device performance (not feature claims).

  • 01A medium Teams Room on Android can be built from four jointly certified devices (Nureva HDL310, AudioCodes RXVCam70, RXV200-ES and RX-PAD-ES) without tabletop or ceiling microphones.
