From new products to new trends, the 2011 First Alert Professional Dealer Convention held in Scottsdale, Ariz., contained plenty of “new,” apt for its theme of “Exploring New Dimensions.” Some 800 alarm dealers, integrators, central station companies, distributors, vendors and speakers from the United States, Canada, the Caribbean and Latin America attended the event.
The event opened with the Products & Services Showcase, highlighting new technologies like the Tuxedo Touch™, the LYNX ReadyGuard 5100 with WiFi and 3G/4G radio communicator; the recently upgraded TotalConnect 2.0, the MaxPro® Web, a 100 percent Webenabled hybrid NVR, and new sensors.
