To learn more about the rename, and the other ways in which Electric Guard Dog is changing, SDM spoke with CEO Mark Wesley and Vice President of Sales and Marketing Mike Dorrington. 

Last month, I had the unique pleasure of attending the 2020 CES Show in Las Vegas as a part of the Consumer Technology Association’s Media Trailblazers Program.

On Nov. 14-16, hundreds of professionals gathered in Miami, Fla., for Honeywell’s 2019 Building for the Future event. Featuring presentations, breakout sessions and an innovation showcase, this provided a unique chance for those involved with Honeywell to connect and learn more about what the company is working on — which was particularly interesting since this was the first conference Honeywell held since separating from Resideo in 2018.

Underwriters Laboratories Inc. has concluded its investigation of UL Product Incident Report 2019MS-940, which was requested by Jeffrey Zwirn, president of IDS Research & Development. 

The 2020 Consumer Electronics Show (CES) took place last week, Jan. 6-9, in sunny Las Vegas, and while most physical security companies save their unveilings for March, when the security industry gathers in the same Sin City for ISC West, CES provided an interesting look at what sort of security products are appealing to the consumer right now — especially in the smart home. 

Nine years after its 2011 launch, The Monitoring Association’s (TMA) Automated Secure Alarm Protocol (ASAP) service is slowly — but surely — creeping into monitoring centers everywhere.

RemoteLock — which went through a rebrand approximately 18 months ago — has always been in the lock business, cutting its teeth in the vacation rental space. But now, the company has evolved into focusing on software versus hardware. 

While Nexkey might be new to the security scene, the company has already made a name for itself, earning a coveted New Product Showcase Award from the Security Industry Association in the wireless access control device and peripheral category at ISC West last year.

This year’s CONNECT conference, held Oct. 24-26 in Phoenix, Ariz., marked a new beginning for Resideo, as it was the first the company has hosted independently since spinning off from Honeywell last year. The three-day-long event didn’t hesitate to send a strong message as to what Resideo’s focus will now be: playing to the strengths of its security dealers and other professionals in the HVAC, plumbing and electrical trades to bring seamlessly connected and easy-to-use smart home technologies to consumers. 

In April 2018, SDM published an article exploring to what extent unmanned systems would be used in the security industry. Oh how things have changed in just 19 months.
