TOP 3 INNOVATIONS AT ISCWEST 2024

Reed Security recently attended ISCWEST 2024 to source the latest crime fighting tech and bring it back for our clients.

Here are the top 3 innovations we found:




1. Drone in-a-box

Sunflower Labs showcased it's BeeHive security drone-in-a-box solution for large commercial, industrial and agricultural properties.

It integrates with existing security cameras and sensors and extends the capabilities of any security system to deter unwanted visitors

When an unwanted visitor is detected the drone can takeoff in under 5 seconds and respond to any part of a 4 acre property in under 30 seconds. No manual drone operation required.

Coming Soon: Integration with Alarm.com Remote Video Monitoring console










2. Smart locks with no batteries

iLOQ has innovated the world's first battery free lock - your cell phone is a key and a power source. It generates the energy needed for unlocking from an NFC-enabled cellphone running iLOQ's app.


Access rights to all types of locks (for example door locks, camlocks and padlocks) can be remotely shared and multiple properties can be conveniently consolidated into one user-friendly and secure cloud-based software platform, saving resources and simplifying access management administration.


The access rights can be updated in real time and canceled if necessary maximizing security by ensuring that only the right people have access to the right places at the right time.


The 
iLOQ solution is ideal for multi family residential, commercial and educational properties.
 




3. Humanoid robots


We (unofficially) checked out the physical security protective measures including access control, intrusion detection, video surveillance and intercom systems at The Sphere.

In the atrium guests visited with five Aura humanoid robots that have lifelike interactions and expressions. Aura can identify people in a crowd and begin conversations without prompting.     

 



While Aura robots were not on display at ISCWEST, robots with A.I. will eventually become part of a physical security solution as a guard replacement.

SUMMER SECURITY TIPS 2022


Break-in's increase during the summer. Use our checklist to keep the odds in your favour.


☐ 1. SHARE INFORMATION 

  • Create a WhatsApp group and let your neighbours know if there is unusual activity or crime on your block.
  • Join your local Neighbourhood Group on Facebook and learn about recent activities.
    eg: Stonebridge Neighbourhood Watch
  • Share video and images from your doorbell camera or security cameras.
  • Share information with the Police as it may help with an arrest.




☐ 2. 
DO NOT ADVERTISE YOU ARE AWAY

  • Ask all strangers for identification. The person who is “lost” and looking for directions could actually be a burglar checking to see if someone is home.
  • DO NOT advertise on Facebook or Instagram that you are travelling. You may think you’re letting your friends and family know you’re having a great time, but people often forget to change their privacy settings. If you like to post photos - post them after you get back.





☐ 3. KEEP YOUR DOORS AND WINDOWS LOCKED

  • Many burglars go door to door looking for targets that forgot to lock their front doors and car doors. Make sure all doors and windows are locked.
  • If you lose a key get the locks changed.
  • A better alternative is to eliminate keys altogether by installing an Alarm.com smart lock with built in keypad.
  • Install monitored door and window sensors.
  • When your security system is "armed" an instant alert is sent to your smartphone and our 24/7 Monitoring Stations
  • Some properties may require security roll shutters to keep intruders out

 




☐ 4. GET PROPER LIGHTING 

  • Burglars target unoccupied homes so keep your home well lit at night.
  • Install exterior motion lights that turn on when there is movement.
  • Install timers that turn lights, radios and televisions on at different times. This gives the appearance that someone is home. 
  • A better option is to install Alarm.com smart lights and smart appliance modules and setup on an alternating schedules.





☐ 5. INSTALL A SMART SECURITY SYSTEM

  • $0 Smart Security packages range from $39.95/mo. to $79.95/mo. 
  • Protection against intrusion, fire, carbon monoxide, flood, low temperature and more
  • No phone line required
  • Alarm.com smartphone and desktop apps
  • Includes 24/7 professional monitoring - our team is standing by
  • 400% less likely to have a break-in
  • Up to 20% of homeowners insurance - consult your insurance broker




☐ 6. 
INSTALL SMART CAMERAS

  • Check on your property from Anywhere
  • Get instant alerts when a person is at your property
  • All events are recorded and can be used as evidence
  • Secure your entire property in color 24/7 with our $0 ColorVu Camera Sale

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!

Emotional, yet a rock.
Tired, but keeps going.
Worried, but full of hope.

Overwhelmed, but never quits.
Amazing, even though doubted.
Wonderful, even in chaos.
Life Changer, every single day.
-Rachel Martin
