After more than a year without in-person events, PSA TEC 2021 was hosted as a hybrid event last week, May 3-6, with around 200 people coming to the Sheraton in downtown Denver, Colo., and more tuning in online.

EXPANDING REVENUE STREAMS and increasing profitability are never ending battles for security integrators. Adapting your offerings to capitalize on emerging technologies that serve critical needs — without falling for flash-in-the-pan trends that quickly fade — is one of the surest ways to boost your bottom line and ensure business survival for the long haul.

The Wave Wisenet and Keep by Feenics integration provides a unified monitoring experience for system operators and includes the ability to view live video, review archived video related to alarm activity and export recorded video clips, all from within the Keep Windows App. 

The New DICE Corporation is empowering security integration companies with Matrix Integrator, a cloud-based video event monitoring, surveillance and alarm notification suite for any video system, anywhere, at any time. 

Integrators can earn additional RMR by monitoring energy usage via Verdafero's cloud-based data analytical SaaS. 

Like individuals who resolve to lose weight or save more, businesses have resolutions or goals, many of which do not get executed or even incorporated into the upcoming year’s business plan. Just like “I am going to lose weight” needs a resolve to change exercise and eating habits, so too do business objectives require the thoughtful and deliberate strategy to deliver the desired outcome.

This partnership enables alarm dealers to package cybersecurity and identity theft protection when selling alarm systems, adding significant value to the customer, and providing the dealer with an opportunity to increase RMR from both new and existing customers.

PSA Adapt 2020 — PSA’s version of the online industry conference — took place Oct. 6-8, providing three days of leadership-driven education for PSA and USAV members and partners.

The online classes are free and will be held every Tuesday at 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. EST, followed by a question and answer session, and the introduction of iSecure Complete Cellular Connected Home Security Systems. 

Viakoo, the company that provides solutions to help enterprises achieve maximum uptime, reliability and performance of physical security and IoT systems, has announced PSA Security Network as its latest Platinum Partner.
