Secure Logiq names three new Asian distributors

News Desk /

Secure Logiq and Your Export Manager (YEM) have announced three new distribution partners for the HD surveillance server manufacturer in Asia. As Secure Logiq’s export manager for the SEA region, YEM works to open up new channels in the territory. Under this remit, it has formed relationships for Secure Logiq with Bricomp International Pte Ltd for Singapore, Light Technology Solutions JSC for Vietnam and Alright Combination Centric Co Ltd for Thailand. “With our deep knowledge of the market dynamics and ecosystem, we worked as a team to identify potential partners who have a gap in their portfolios which prevented them from offering a complete solution and realising their growth potential,” said Franco Pesci CEO of YEM, explaining why these three companies were the right partners for these countries. “By partnering with Secure Logiq, these companies can all strengthen their portfolios with a reliable and leading brand and enhance their end customer relationships with a more complete offering.” The three new distributors were selected due to a shared deep understanding of their customers’ needs, while also showing common goals with the manufacturer. “The companies all share the same objectives and ambitions with Secure Logiq of growth, integrity and innovation,” notes Pesci. “We know that having Secure Logiq as a partner will provide them with the products to reach their ambition, and the trust of their customers to ensure those relationships are further enhanced.” The three new distribution relationships highlight the importance that Secure Logiq is placing on Asia as a growth market for its servers specifically designed for HD surveillance. “There are a huge number of vibrant markets across Asia and this provides great potential for us as a manufacturer,” said Secure Logiq’s Robin Hughes. “We are in the fortunate position of having a knowledgeable export manager to work with in the territory and we completely trust their judgement in finding the right partners for different countries. “We know that all three distributors will be excellent partners for us in their respective territories,” Hughes continued. “We are delighted to be working with them and look forward to many successful years of helping them to deliver the best servers, workstations and client machines optimised for HD Surveillance and Video Analytics applications for users in Singapore, Vietnam and Thailand.” For further information visit: www.securelogiq.com or https://yem-int.com/   To stay up to date on the latest, trends, innovations, people news and company updates within the global security market please register to receive our newsletter here.

Praesensa

Audio intelligence with Praesensa

UK News Desk /

When Praesensa was launched at the end of 2019, Bosch set a new standard for quality, security and reliability in Public Address and Voice Alarm (PA/VA) systems. The latest addition to the family is the Praesensa Ambient noise sensor, particularly relevant for applications such as campuses, shopping malls, airports, railway terminals, factories and more. The loud buzz of a crowd, the passing roar of vehicles or the hum of equipment can affect the intelligibility of voice messages. Similarly, music or messages can cause discomfort when they are played too loudly in a quieter building. Automatic Volume Control (AVC) technology helps to deal with these ambient noise changes. AVC – also known as Noise Dependent Volume Control (NDVC) – changes the loudspeaker volume according to the ambient noise levels and automatically solves the dilemma of a system being too loud in a quiet environment versus too soft in a noisy environment. The new Praesensa Ambient noise sensor monitors the ambient noise level and alerts the system controller about changes. Announcements are then automatically adjusted to a comfortable level above the ambient noise to ensure intelligibility, and background music is adjusted to maintain the right atmosphere. Up to four sensors can operate together to cover a large area. In the event of a failure or disconnection of the device, the announcement volume is automatically set to its maximum within the applicable control range. This fail-safe ensures that the system will never interpret a missing sensor as a silent ambient level and decrease the announcement level mistakenly. The intelligibility of messages is ensured and the system remains safe. For AVC actions to be discreet yet effective, its adaptation threshold, range, slope and speed can be optimally configured for a specific application and location. Furthermore, its behavior is different for short announcements compared to ongoing background music. Sample-and-hold mode is used for live speech calls and playback of prerecorded messages. The noise level is sampled and the latest level information is held and used during the call; this is not affected by the sound of the call itself or its associated reverberation and echoes. Tracking mode is used for background music; the ambient noise level is tracked, allowing the continuous adjustment of the background music’s volume to suit the environment. The sensor is directly connected to the IP network – just one CAT5e cable can accommodate data exchange and power over Ethernet (PoE). The device communicates ambient noise level data directly to the Praesensa system controller, which adjusts the output level of the involved amplifier channels accordingly. Because only level information is exchanged and no audio data, the occupied network bandwidth for this function is minimized and there is no risk of audio eavesdropping. A back box is included for mounting on solid ceilings and walls. Without the back box, the sensor can be flush mounted in hollow walls or suspended ceilings. The device is water resistant (IP54) with or without the back box and can be used indoors and outdoors. It comes with a black and white front cover for inconspicuous installation. The Praesensa Ambient noise sensor will be available from July 2021 onwards.   To stay up to date on the latest, trends, innovations, people news and company updates within the global security market please register to receive our newsletter here.
