High def and access questions and answers

Jump to Comments

First of all, apologies for the lack of missive yesterday. That was entirely my fault, having succumbed like a small, weak child to some powerful, all-conquering early winter virus.

But we’re back, baby, and today we feature not only questions, but some answers to those questions also. We’ve got it all! First up is David Markland of Sanyo – a company currently in discussion with Panasonic regarding some kind of merger/alliance – who fills us in on High Definition CCTV. The timing is immaculate, what with Sanyo’s recent launch of its own HD camera.

There’s also access advice from the Access Control Doctor with the delightful bedside manner, Adam Stroud of Paxton. Today he’s scrawling illegible doctorly notes about integrating with intruder and fire systems.

Then there’s the SIA unveiling some key performance statistics, as well as celebrating a year of Scottish regulation; and industry analyst Plimsoll, which has published a guide for guarding companies in these troubled financial times.

We’ve got the winner of the 2008 Global Security Challenge as well. Click on that thing just there and find out who it was. Go on. It’ll be fun.

Sadly, Security Installer columnist and installation sector legend Orson Carte has filed his last piece for the magazine, and for I4S. Read his final Last Orders column, and look back through the archives to relive some of your favourite moments…

Then to perk yourself up, visit the Weird Work section of the Jobs for Security website. It’s somewhat amusing! And we’d love to hear your stories of strange work-based incidents and happenings. Get involved!

It’s always a nice idea to visit ifsec.co.uk and info4security.com, particularly as they pay my wages.
