Caution: Opportunity Knocks - 17 Products for Security Pros Seen at CEDIA
As SDM’s Doug O’Gorden and Laura Stepanek toured the show floor of CEDIA Expo in Indianapolis earlier this month, they collected information from exhibitors about new products they thought would be especially appealing to security professionals. The trends: The degree of interoperability with security controls is ramping up, providing greater control over lighting, thermostats, locks, and more. Video analytics are now converging with home control. The first residential locks that can be operated by a mobile phone have been introduced. There’s a significant focus on easier installation and programming for technicians. And, the apps for mobile control continue to roll out.
As pronounced at SDM’s booth at CEDIA Expo: “Caution. Reading SDM smartHOME causes diversification, increased RMR, faster installs & increased sales.” Just look closely at these new innovations and see if there may be sales opportunities awaiting you.
