Although it appears that personal emergency response systems (PERS) engagement continues to grow, the space is changing and the technology available is finally evolving. The introduction and adoption of these evolving technologies appears to have created a window for global organizations to move in and leave some traditionalists behind. I believe everyone who is familiar with the PERS space will agree that the core technology and associated features have not evolved during the past several decades. Yes, we have had cellular communications to replace dial up and for active seniors, we have mPERS (mobile PERS) with location-based services. At the end of the day, it is all still “a button in a box.” Taking a page from the evolution of the home security business and reflecting on how subscriber interaction through the adoption of mobile apps and lifestyle features was a catalyst for rapid growth in the home security channel could lead the PERS dealers toward greener pastures. Relat...

Artificial intelligence (AI) and video analytics, although extremely popular and important, is only one piece of the “occupancy” puzzle. Understanding the layers of AI and various methods of building a comprehensive proposition is similar to the fundamentals of building a comprehensive intrusion system. The fundamentals still remain in that the most basic intrusion system would include a control, monitoring and some motion detectors. The next step for added security may be glass-break detection and then some window and door contacts for the perimeter. Going further, one may add some internal and then external cameras. Going even further, the cameras and intrusion system would integrate toward a remote video and verification structure. You get the point — it’s like building blocks to design the best and most comprehensive system for the situation at hand. It is not a one-size-fits-all scenario. The type of AI that is probably the most popular, useful and meaningful in the security in...
