Day 3 in photos -- IFSEC 2008... It was a great day of meetings, and I'm always surprised by the number of companies that are strong in Europe but which aren't pushing their wares in the U.S. According to a lot of companies, that's because of the expense of getting UL listed. I suspect part of the matter is that there's a lot of business to be done in Europe that some aren't scaled to take advantage of the U.S. market.
Traffic was a touch quieter on the show floor today, but yesterday was so strong that I'm not sure it mattered. Simon Parker, group director for CMP (which puts on IFSEC), said Tuesday's traffic was quite good (they scan the attendees as you come and go from the halls to get a good count on traffic).
Well, let's get to the photos...
One of the stands I was most impressed with was Surveillance Consulting Group's IED jamming system, show here mounted in a mobile configuration.
One of the hottest products on display at IFSEC has to be this incredibly ingenious little system from infrared lighting company Raytec. It's a small infrared lighting system designed to enable night vision for surveillance cameras, and it's powered entirely over IP lines using Power over Ethernet. You're seeing the power supply, PoE "switch" and infrared units here.
Stunning displays at LG's booth -- not a name you see often in the U.S. associated with video security.
Sony was showcasing its megapixel line of IPELA cameras. They have a huge promotion going on here at the show with "Go Mega" plastered everywhere.
Also at the Sony booth, a camera demonstration to show analytics and motion capture. The design levels of the "big boys" booths here is incredible.
And finally, our traditional pic of the IFSEC booth attractions. One more day of IFSEC before we head back stateside.
