Healthcare facilities generate massive amounts of data every single day. Thousands of people move through hospital corridors, emergency departments buzz with activity around the clock and critical areas like pharmacies and patient units require constant oversight. For security teams managing these complex environments, artificial intelligence (AI) isn’t just changing the game. It’s completely rewriting the rules. The real breakthrough isn’t in having more cameras or sensors. It’s in having systems smart enough to understand what they’re seeing and hearing, then alert staff only when human intervention is needed. That’s where AI integrated with open platform video management software is making the biggest difference in healthcare security today. AI Security Analytics Learn Healthcare Operations Patterns   Today’s AI-powered analytics don’t just detect motion or sound. They learn the unique rhythms of healthcare environments and can distinguish between normal operational act...

TOMS RIVER, N.J. — A small jeweler inside the Ocean County Mall sued Johnson Controls in Ocean County Superior Court for a burglary loss.  The case has some interesting issues and I was curious if the judge was correct in his acceptance and reliance on certain facts. Alarm experts will know the answer. The system was contracted to be a UL Certified Burglar Alarm system. The judge accepted as fact that the UL certified system “required to include line security (“Line Security”). “Line security requires that the lines of communication between an alarm system and the remote monitoring station be tested automatically at periodic intervals no greater than 360 seconds.” Is this in fact a UL requirement?  I did my own calculation and that comes to every 6 minutes. Another fact accepted by the judge was if “there has been an interruption in or compromise of the lines of communication, then there is automatic notification of this interruption to the alarm monitoring station, whic...

Security Sales & Integration: What’s the best piece of advice you’ve ever received? Alaina Meyer: The best advice I’ve ever received is, “clear is kind.” Don’t get wrapped up in the delivery or in protecting feelings to the point where your message is lost or where you lose your confidence by overexplaining. Clarity is a form of respect. Be direct, provide objective and measurable feedback, and always do what you say you will. SSI: What advice would you give those looking to achieve success in the security industry? Meyer: I truly believe that this is an industry poised for disruption.

We kicked off the series unveiling our 2025 winners with Telguard, who earned the nod for fire and life safety. Now, let’s take a look at the winner in the home controls category.

The homeowners requested a complete modernization with better security, updated life safety systems and video surveillance. Since the Southampton home is their second residence, they wanted all of their de...
