EDITOR’S CHOICE<br />
The security industry is busy and complex, so it’s easy to miss<br />
new products and services as they get lost in day-to-day<br />
activities. Every now and again, certain products grab our<br />
attention so here we take a look at some of the products we<br />
think you won’t want to miss this month.<br />
IP intercom for integration<br />
Panasonic has launched a new IP video intercom<br />
system aimed at meeting the demand for<br />
integration between different building systems.<br />
The VL-VN1900 works with a range of devices,<br />
including networked CCTV cameras, SIP phones<br />
and network video recorders.<br />
Using PoE the system can be connected using<br />
a single cable, reducing installation complexity<br />
and cost. The system supports up to 2,000 SIP<br />
devices using standard PoE, with the addition of a<br />
control box.<br />
The IP video intercom system includes new door<br />
and lobby stations, with a wide angle camera and<br />
RFID reader for entry cards, supporting for up to<br />
five cards per resident. Reception mode also gives<br />
the option for incoming calls to go to reception<br />
rather than to individual residences, giving peace<br />
of mind to residents – particularly<br />
overnight. There’s also recording<br />
functionality, incorporating video and<br />
sound as well as still imagery.<br />

Four and<br />
eight port high-PoE<br />
switches launched<br />
Eneo has added four new, high-PoE budget, switches to its Gigabit switch<br />
portfolio. Two new desk-top switch models offer four and eight port,<br />
unmanaged, Gigabit camera channels (IAD-5SG1004/8MUA); with PoE<br />
budgets of 60W or 120W respectively and internal switching fabric<br />
capacities of 12Gbps or 20Gbps. The four-port model has two, Gigabit<br />
copper uplink connections and the eight-port model has both Gigabit<br />
copper and Gigabit fibre, SFP uplink connections. In addition to this, Eneo<br />
has introduced an eight-port, rack-mount, Gigabit switch (IAR-<br />
7SG1008MMA). Its PoE budget is 135W and its internal switching fabric is<br />
24Gbps. As a Level 2, managed switch, it offers VLAN, port-mirroring and<br />
multicast support and it comes with two Gigabit copper and two Gigabit<br />
fibre, SFP uplink connections.<br />
The final addition to the range is an eight port, industrial-rated, Gigabit<br />
switch for tough environments and mission critical applications (IAM-<br />
5SG1008MMA).<br />

Bluetooth gas detector for smartphone set-up and maintenance<br />
Honeywell has launched a new Bluetooth-enabled fixed<br />
gas detector for commercial and light-industrial<br />
applications, enabling set up and maintainance of the<br />
device using a smartphone app.<br />
The Sensepoint XCL is a wall-mounted device that<br />
monitors for hazardous levels of specific gases --<br />
ammonia, carbon monoxide, hydrogen sulfide, nitrogen<br />
dioxide, oxygen or flammable gases – to keep operations<br />
and employees safe. When paired with a smartphone<br />
using a downloadable app, Sensepoint XCL allows a single<br />
installer to perform commissioning, maintenance and<br />
management of the detector without<br />
requiring a second worker in a control<br />
room. It also simplifies generating<br />
system reports needed for regulatory<br />
compliance.<br />
