ASIS INTERNATIONAL
CELEBRATES SIX DECADES
This year, ASIS International
celebrated its 60th
anniversary in Atlanta,
Georgia, USA by showcasing
the latest security
innovations from some
600 companies. Former US
Secretary of State, Colin
Powell delivered the keynote
address to 20,000 security
professionals, sharing his
thoughts on both domestic
and world affairs.
With more than 200
educational sessions on
topics ranging from successful
security consulting to cyber
security, ASIS 2014 featured
the very latest security
solutions, information and
technologies.
There were also some
surprises at this year’s ASIS,
including the announcement
of a strategic partnership
between Axis Communications
and SightLogix, to sell both
technologies co-operatively to
end-user customers through
dealer channels.
Despite the broad product
range Axis brings to market,
the company does not have a
perimeter security solution,
which is the strength of
Sightlogix. Introducing
the third generation of its
SightSensor product at ASIS,

Sightlogix provides an accurate
security solution for outdoor
and perimeter security
applications at one-third the
size and with reduced power
consumption compared to
prior generations. The new
SightSensor avails solar
and wireless capabilities
that reduce infrastructure
requirements often needed
for outdoor security
projects. Sightlogix’ growing
mainstream presence will
almost certainly get a boost
from the association with
Axis.
ENGAGE WITH ALLEGION
Also featured, Allegion’s
Engage platform will extend
the benefits of integrated
electronic locks to more
doors in a building. Typically,
electronic access control
covers exterior doors, while
interior doors use hardware
locks. The Engage series seeks
to replace some of those
hardware locks with electronic
locks that can be programmed
individually using an app or
tied into a larger access control
system. Taking electronic locks
further inside a building, the
Engage locks fit in the same
space as hardware locks – no
extra drilling of doors – and
can use electronic (NFC) or
physical credentials. Simple
to install and commission, the
Engage locks will complement
Allegion’s range of hardware
locks used for interior doors.
SALTO Systems
demonstrated its classleading NFC (Near Field
Communications) solutions,
its RFID wireless products
for Residential, Healthcare
and Education applications,
Sallis wireless technology
for integrations and Clay™
SALTO’s new secure cloud
based access control system
that is revolutionary in design,
usability and features.
Other new innovations
include the versatile GEO
(Global Electronic Opening)
electronic cylinder lock
now available with a stylish
white reader, as well as GEO
Wireless. Modular, flexible
and easy to fit, the IP66 rated
SALTO GEO can be used
in any type of door. Part of
SALTO’s innovative 360° wire
free locking solution, it is fully
compatible with most RFID
technologies meaning no more
problems with master key
management.
Also on display was the
SALTO XS4 electronic locker
lock, now available with
HiD iClass technology, and
designed to provide a high
level of security protection and
control access to a wide range
of lockers, cupboards, display
cabinets, boxes, cases and
more.
Baran Advanced
Technologies, manufacturer
of the Everswitch access
control products, introduces
the Everswitch ATP2 family
of products. It is another first
from Everswitch: a fully sealed
polycarbonate Piezo keypad
with or without an integrated
HID reader, either 125 KHz
or 13.56 MHz. Inside the
keypad is the same innovative
patented Piezo technology
that is used in the Everswitch
rugged metal vandal-proof
keypads. This design is fully
weatherproof, IP68 dust &
waterproof rated, and has no
