KEYper partners with iDter

KEYper Systems, an ASSA ABLOY Company and global provider of innovative key and asset control management solutions, announced a new strategic partnership with iDter, an award-winning San Mateo, Calif., developer and manufacturer of a unique commercial security solution that puts an end to loitering and crime on properties. iDter, which stands for intelligent and immediate deterrence of crime, uses artificial intelligence (AI) embedded in Nio Guardian nodes located around a property to detect intrusion and take immediate and programmable deterrence actions against the intrusion. This strategic partnership provides KEYper Systems and its network of agents full access to iDter’s security solution and services, which have been proven to thwart 98% of crime without the delays or high costs associated with human intervention. Through the alliance, KEYper has the rights to embed the iDter Nio Guardian system in its products and sell the entire iDter commercial security system directly to KEYper clients. Current users of iDter include automobile and agricultural dealerships, commercial and multi-family buildings, retail outlets, hotels, restaurants, schools, utilities facilities, and any location with outdoor assets requiring protection for equipment, parked vehicles, loading docks, dumpsters, construction supplies and/or structures. “Our partnership with iDter helps us provide a robust solution to our clients who report ever-increasing incidents of vandalism and crime against their outdoor assets and property,” said Steve Baucom, President of KEYper Systems. “In addition, we plan to embed Nio Guardians in our MX and MXi Key Management Systems to provide vigilant protection of our clients’ keys and assets.” Nio Guardians are easy-to-install devices equipped with a 4K high-resolution HD camera, motion detectors, microphone and deep learning AI to automatically detect an intrusion. Upon detection, Nio Guardians immediately deter intruders using 10,000 lumens of LED flood light, red/blue LED strobes, and three-way loudspeakers for spoken messages, startling sound effects and ear-piercing alarms. The Nio nodes execute programmable scripts that escalate their response upon detection and have access to a myriad of playlist responses designed to defy predictability. Notifications of intrusion with video recordings are sent to property owners for self-monitoring on mobile phones or to the iDter monitoring personnel for 911 response. “We are pleased to engage in this strategic partnership with KEYper Systems, the leader in protecting and managing keys and dealer assets,” said Greg Ayres, iDter Vice President Marketing and Business Development. “KEYper has a strong reputation in the vertical markets that benefit from our fully-automated deterrence system that detects crimes in seconds – because time matters! KEYper will now be offering an outdoor security system that is faster, more effective and at a lower price point than monitored cameras or security guards.” For more news updates, check out our June issue here.

VIVOTEK Releases VC9101 Camera System

VIVOTEK, an IP surveillance solution provider, is proud to announce the release of the NDAA Compliant VC9101 high-performance split-type camera system with Trend Micro IoT Security. “The VC9101’s discreet design, rich functionality, and ability to be flexibly integrated into even the tightest spaces, make this camera ideal for indoor or covert surveillance of ATMs, banks, stores, and offices,” said David Liu, President of VIVOTEK USA, Inc. “The VC9101 features a separate camera unit (CU series) and video core design, enabling the tiny camera unit (with 5-metre long cable) to be easily and flexibly installed into any decoration or interior design, thus preserving stylish appearances while dramatically saving on installation time and cost.” The VC9101’s video core has a powerful processor which can stream a 5MP 360-degree fisheye image or a 4MP 16:9 image. Furthermore, the VC9101 is equipped with CNN (Convolutional Neural Network) hardware accelerator which allows the deep learning VCA to be more efficient and powerful. VC9101 also provides deep learning based face detection suitable for most installation scenarios. The VC9101 camera core can support one camera unit and is designed to work in perfect harmony with a choice of four different types of camera units (CU9171-H, CU9171-HF, CU9183-H and CU9183-HF). The whole system incorporates a number of advanced features found in VIVOTEK cameras, including WDR Pro, SNV, Smart Stream III technology, 3DNR, and security features like secure boot, signed firmware, and Trend Micro cybersecurity. Benefits of the VC9101 include: Discreet Appearance The smaller camera form factor enabled by the split core/camera design also allows a less obtrusive appearance where there are aesthetic concerns or to reduce the risk of opportunistic tampering or vandalism. Flexible Selection for Different Scenarios With a choice of four WDR camera units: the CU9171-H(F) pinhole type, and the CU9183-H(F) fisheye type for 180-degree Panoramic View, the VC9101 provides unprecedented flexibility. The split-type camera system can be used to monitor spaces such as ATMs, elevators, a single large space, or to provide different types of views, among other possible usage scenarios. Greater Coverage with Simplified Installation The camera unit that can be connected to the core unit can be positioned up to five meters away, enabling the tiny camera unit to be easily and flexibly installed into any decoration or interior design. Easier Maintenance and Upgrades The modular design of the VC9101 makes removing individual camera units for maintenance or replacement extremely easy. Moreover, upgrades can also be easily accomplished, since they need only involve swapping out of a camera unit and not replacement of the entire system.
