AMAG Technology, Torrance, Calif., a G4Tec company, recently hosted its 6th annual Security Engineering Symposium at the Ritz Carlton in Laguna Nigel, Calif.

Approximately 75 security engineers and consultants attended the event, where AMAG's business partners from Axis Communications, Bioscrypt, Fargo, HID, NEC/Team 1, IR, Vidient, and Zenitel presented their latest technology and insight on the industry.

Presentations focused around the core challenges facing security consultants and manufacturers today: convergence, IP cameras/technology, and video analytics.

"AMAG and our partners presented clear, concise information on their latest products, and provided educational insight from each particular technological point of view," says AMAG Technology vice president of sales Matt Barnette. "The wealth of useful information exchanged will help these industry experts find the best solution for their customers, and help AMAG engineer the next generation of products to meet their demands."

Keynote speaker, Dr. Adam C. Thermos, founder of Strategic Technology Group, addressed the audience about Homeland security, digital communities and wireless CCTV applications. His lecture prompted discussion about how wireless will be used more in the future and the benefits and disadvantages of the technology.

Breakout sessions in smaller groups allowed the consultants to get "up close and personal" with each presenting business partner. Consultants could see first-hand how each technology works.

HID sponsored the 6th Annual Golf Scramble at the Monarch Beach Golf Links. The winning team included AMAG's own Marshall Pinnix, Robert Summers, Hughes & Associates, Bill Sewell, DMJM and Kevin Richmond, URS. The round of golf was highlighted by a hole-in-one by Robert Summers.

"This forum was a wonderful way to learn about the latest technological advances in an open discussion directly from the manufacturer's engineers of each product," says Security Concepts and Planning's Owner Charlie Howell.

"As a consultant, I walked away with information on access control, IP, video analytics, and a good idea about where the industry is heading," says Henry Garcia, Kroll Schiff and Associates Inc., vice president.
