As the following SDM exclusives, feature articles and news items illustrate, 2022 saw an industry in constant motion. What comes alive are security dealers and integrators navigating business and marketplace challenges, innovating to remain competitive, and deploying products and services to meet customer needs and requirements.

Following are 10 of our most read stories in 2022.

Despite the uncertainty and challenges it presented, however, the top security dealers held their own, and some even thrived, finding new paths and opportunities. 

  • State of the Market: Video Surveillance

Supply chain issues, hiring challenges and ongoing COVID-19 concerns may have shaped 2021, but none of these were able to put a damper on the steady growth of demand for video surveillance products and services. 

  • Access Control Is Opening Doors to More Than Security

Once relegated to simple locks and card reader panels, access control is assuming a starring role in overall business operations. 

  • How Security Video Proved Pivotal to Catching Highland Park Shooter

A 2MP dome camera installed by LaMarco Systems captured images of the suspect fleeing in an alleyway moments after the massacre. 

  • A New Age for Fire Detection Systems

Usually overshadowed by other industry technologies despite being the most necessary, fire alarms are gaining new capabilities that ensure overall building safety. 

  • Insiders Say ADT, State Farm Deal Could Be a Boon for Industry 

Industry watchers foreshadow much bigger things ahead in the realm of IoT penetration into the smart home following the big ADT-State Farm partnership.
