Honeywell, a pioneer in products, software and technologies for connected buildings and homes, announced that its Xtralis VCA suite of security software is available for licensing by third parties. Now, both Xtralis LoiterTrace video detection software and Xtralis IntrusionTrace video detection software will be made available to third parties looking to improve the analytics capabilities of their security offerings.  Xtralis IntrusionTrace, a high-performance intrusion detection software solution designed for continual outdoor operation is now integrated into its first external partner, Axis Communications Inc., a provider of network video, and their Axis Camera Application Platform (ACAP).  Honeywel-Axis integration  “The ACAP offers a variety of services and applications for select devices to ensure our customers can deploy value-added services on our cameras,” said Alex Walthers, business development manager, ADP, Axis Communications, Inc.   “We are pleased to collaborate with Honeywell to allow mutual customers to embed Honeywell’s Xtralis IntrusionTrace on Axis cameras. This technology brings video detection analytics that has been tested and hardened to the market.”  Beyond Xtralis IntrusionTrace, the VCA suite available for licensing also includes Xtralis LoiterTrace Beyond Xtralis IntrusionTrace, the VCA suite available for licensing also includes Xtralis LoiterTrace, an advanced detection system that provides timely notification of unauthorized loitering in both indoor and outdoor areas.  Intrusion detection products   “Nearly three decades ago Xtralis commercialized the first video motion detection product in the industry; and since then our intrusion detection products have been the industry benchmark and top choice for protecting perimeters with the highest security requirements,” said Alessandro Araldi, Vice President of global product management, Honeywell Home and Building Technologies.   “Honeywell is making Xtralis IP available for leading security manufacturers. We are pleased to have Xtralis IntrusionTrace offered on select Honeywell cameras as well as the ACAP and are looking forward to even more manufacturers leveraging our technology,” Araldi added.  The Xtralis VCA suite can be integrated with cameras, network video recorders, video management systems and third-party panel and platform providers. 

All of DMP’s Com Series™ Universal Communicators provide ECP communication with Honeywell VISTA® panels. DMP is excited to introduce a new member of the Com Series that’s not only compatible with VISTA panels, but DSC PowerSeries™ panels too. “The new DualComN communicator is UL 1610 Listed for commercial burglary applications, which creates some exciting upgrading opportunities for our dealers,” explains Aaron McGhee, product manager of Control Panels for DMP. “You’ll be able to connect to DSC PowerSeries panels through the DMP communicator to remotely manage all user codes and easily check zone status from the Virtual Keypad app.” Fully supervised alarm communication The new communicator nicely rounds out DMP’s DualCom line of commercial fire products with a commercial burglary listed unit. Like each of the communicators, the DualComN is designed with integrated primary and secondary communication in a single design. By using the network connectivity as the primary communication path, the system will receive the fast speeds of the IP connection whenever possible. The secondary cellular path picks up communication almost instantly However, if the primary IP path drops out for any reason, the secondary cellular path picks up communication almost instantly. Each Com Series module also has built-in LTE cellular backup that provides a fully supervised alarm communication path over AT&T’s or Verizon’s LTE networks. As with earlier-generation products, the LTE communicators are designed to work with digital cellular service from SecureCom Wireless™ — enabling dealers to get systems up and running quickly. DualCom Series models The DualCom Series models are: NEW DualComN-LV Alarm Communicator with Wi-Fi Network Primary and Cellular Backup (Verizon) DualComWZ-LV Alarm Communicator with Wi-Fi Network Primary and Cellular Backup (Verizon) DualComNF-LV Fire Alarm Communicator with Hardwired Network Primary and Cellular Backup (Verizon) NEW DualComN-LA Alarm Communicator with Wi-Fi Network Primary and Cellular Backup (AT&T) DualComWZ-LA Alarm Communicator with Wi-Fi Network Primary and Cellular Backup (AT&T) DualComNF-LA Fire Alarm Communicator with Hardwired Network Primary and Cellular Backup (AT&T)

IP audio and control interface innovator Barix is heading to the ISC West 2020 security industry trade show with a wide range of powerful yet cost-efficient new hardware innovations and third-party integrations. The company will exhibit in booth 19140 at the event, taking place from March 17 to 20 at the Sands Expo and Conference Center in Las Vegas. SIP Audio Endpoint hardware A centerpiece of Barix’s new product demonstrations will be the North American debut of the SIP Audio Endpoint hardware, the company’s most feature-rich SIP interface solution to date. First unveiled at ISE 2020 in Amsterdam last month, the SIP Audio Endpoint enables integrators to seamlessly and cost-effectively bridge analog audio inputs and outputs with SIP-based VoIP (Voice over IP) telephone systems. IP Former is Barix’s newest innovation for adding IP networking capabilities to new or existing loudspeaker designs The robust yet inexpensive device supports a broad range of audio codecs including Opus, G.711, G.722 and GSM. Contact closures allow triggering from physical interfaces such as call buttons, while features such as DTMF tone dialing support maximize integration possibilities. IP networking capabilities Additional highlights at the Barix booth will include: IP Former is Barix’s newest innovation for adding IP networking capabilities to new or existing loudspeaker designs. Replacing the 70/100V transformer traditionally used with analog loudspeakers, the PoE-powered device provides an IP network interface, audio stream decoder and amplifier front-end for a two- to eight-ohm speaker. Flexibly supporting a wide range of security applications including paging and emergency warning systems, IP Former decodes PCM, AACplus, MP3, Opus, G.711 and G.722 audio streams delivered via HTTP, RTP or UDP, and also features SIP negotiation for use with VoIP phone systems. The Barionet family of I/O, IoT sensor and interface controllers are the preferred choice of security integrators and system designers for controlling, automating and monitoring critical systems in both in commercial and residential environments. The openly programmable Barionet devices provide robust bridges between IP-based security platforms and physical interfaces such as distress buttons, fire alarm panels, motion sensors, light switches, door activators and more. Barix will display Barionet models ranging from the base Barionet 50 to the latest-generation Barionet 400. Barix will also highlight new integrations and interoperability between the above offerings and enterprise-class mass notification systems including Singlewire Software’s InformaCast, Syn-Apps’ Revolution and Honeywell’s Unified Notification Platform (UNP), enabling users of these platforms to benefit from the reliability and cost-effectiveness of Barix hardware endpoints. Audio across IP networks Barix supplies simple and reliable solutions and components to systems integrators and end users worldwide “Barix continues to develop innovative hardware solutions that deliver exceptional reliability and value for security applications in their own right, but we also recognize that their benefits are further unlocked as part of complete, unified ecosystems,” said Reto Brader, CEO of Barix. “We look forward to showcasing not only our new solutions also our new integrations and partnerships to ISC West attendees.” Show attendees can receive a free ISC West expo pass courtesy of Barix by registering via the link.
