Pelco

Working together, the Endura Keyboard and Video Console Display deliver what the industry demands in a virtual matrix – the ability to see any camera on any monitor. The Keyboard’s familiar, easy-to-use controls allow operators to select and position cameras, as well as record, playback and export video. Combining the functionality of a traditional video matrix with the endless scalability and flexibility of an IP-based solution, Endura’s virtual matrix offers the best of both worlds in one system.

Pelco

The Pelco series unshielded twisted pair (UTP) transmission system incorporates both active and passive technologies. Active receivers incorporate Pelco’s unique adaptive technology that modifies the video signal to compensate for long run lengths of up to 4,000 feet in full motion color/black and white, eliminating the need for manual adjustments. The full line of passive models also eliminates the need for external power while providing a video signal up to 750 feet with pan/tilt/zoom control.

Pixim Inc.

Pixim's D2500 Orca Chipset for video surveillance cameras is compact, easy-to-configure and delivers excellent image quality in both normal and wide dynamic range scenes in any lighting conditions, without blooming or smearing. Orca's Digital Pixel System (DPS) technology converts light to a digital signal at each pixel, enabling each pixel to have independent, optimized exposure times to deliver the highest image quality and color accuracy. Orca overcomes analog technology impediments to provide positive subject identification 24/7 with dramatic improvements in the accuracy and effectiveness of video analysis and biometric systems in uncontrolled lighting conditions. .

WiLife

By demonstrating the complete PIV life cycle work flow – from sponsorship to registration, badging, issuance, and usage (both physical and logical) – Mobile ID will guide the user through the many implementation options available. Mobile ID offers the most convenient approach to making the best decision in protecting assets.

Cisco

Cisco IP Interoperability and Collaboration System (IPICS) is a communication system that integrates disparate push-to-talk “walkie talkie” radio systems together with other communication resources like analog phones and other IP-based wired and wireless devices including cell phones, Wi-Fi laptops, PDAs and IP phones. With Cisco IPICS, large enterprises can improve safety, security and real-time operations. For example, hospitals use Cisco IPICS to integrate ambulances with the front office and provide notification to doctors and nurses.

The PX8 Integrated Access Control and Digital Alarm Panel takes integration to a whole new level. This powerful yet economical device is a 32-zone wired or wireless alarm panel, a four-door access control panel and a card reader interface all in one. It can be fully programmed from a keypad or software. The centralized cardholder database enables convenient downloading to remote PX8 panels. The PX8 is ideal for both stand-alone and multi-site projects – making it suitable for commercial and financial applications.

Centennial Software

Centennial DeviceWall is an endpoint security solution that helps organizations centrally manage and protect their networks from the threats associated with portable storage devices, such as iPods and flash sticks.

Northrop Grumman Corp.

FleXBase offers end-users a simplified capability to rapidly develop and modify custom database applications for secure and non-secure applications. It provides the flexibility to quickly implement database structure changes and automatically adapt user interfaces as modifications occur and user needs evolve. Without such a proven information sharing framework, database application development time can be extensive, and the ability to populate data and perform analysis would be delayed until the development is complete.

Northrop Grumman Corp.

PMVT is a software solution that assists users in reviewing documents by automating the portion marking/classification management process. PMVT leads the user through the verification of portion marking occurrences and inserts the appropriate marking within the document based on defined criteria. It combines a fast search engine, streamlined methodology and a capability to verify results. By utilizing PMVT, the portion-marking of documents can be up to 200 percent to 400 percent faster than traditional manual review processes.
