Teaser:
A preview of the latest security technologies you'll find on the floor of ISC West at the Sands Expo and Convention Center, Las Vegas, from April 6-8.
Access Control Software
New DSX-AES256 software from Dallas-based DSX Access Systems, Inc., contains government-approved AES-256 bit encryption technology that can be implemented systemwide. Encryption capabilities are built into the software and every field controller. Communications to each location can optionally be encrypted with a unique encryption key assigned by the customer for communicating with that location’s field controllers. The software encrypts communications to all panels in that location without the use of add-on devices. Implementation is easy because the encryption technology is inherent to the software and field controllers. All 1040 series and 1022 controllers can be flash-upgraded to the AES-256 bit version.

Intrusion Detection
Murena PLUS is a new remotely controlled digital microwave transceiver from CIAS Labs of Milan, Italy. Based on “fuzzy logic” analysis, the unit generates two different Doppler frequencies allowing the sensor to detect changes in the phase of the signals, which vary dependent on the position of the target. Thus it can determine the distance, size, and direction of an intruder. Based on sophisticated technology used by the military for tracking missiles and space-related objects, Murena is easy to use in civilian, commercial, and industrial applications. Its two different ranges (40 and 80 feet) can be controlled and managed remotely via WAVE-TEST software.
