While we’ve been busy in Las Vegas at ISC, our Swedish partner, Gate Security, has been hard at work showing the exacqVision video surveillance solution to the retail loss prevention market at the Butiksleverantör 2008 show, held this week at the Sollentuna Expo Center in Stockholm.
Butiksleverantör is the major trade fair in Sweden targeting buyers and specifiers from both national and independent retailers throughout Sweden, including security directors and loss prevention managers. The show focuses on the latest technologies for retail operations.
Gate Security was showing their new NEXUS line of loss prevention security gates, as well as the exacqVision IP video surveillance systems. Their demo setup included an exacqVision server connected to multiple cameras, two client stations with a number of monitors connected, and a large spot monitor. Thomas Rasi, Marketing Manager for Gate, was very pleased at the level of interest in exacqVision from loss prevention and security managers at the show.
Congratulations to the whole crew at Gate Security for another successful trade show. Gate Security can be reached as follows:

We recently returned from the National Retail Federation’s annual Loss Prevention Expo - this time held in the San Diego Convention Center. We were showing our exacqVision IP video surveillance solutions in the IPVS Magazine booth. The NRF-LP Expo focuses on retail loss prevention, with emphasis on everything from designing floor layouts and surveillance systems, to combating counterfeit brands and organized retail theft rings.
The attendance at NRF-LP is primarily loss prevention officers from the larger retail chains worldwide. We met with many of these key LP decision makers and had an opportunity to discuss our exacqVision IP and hybrid video solutions. Also in the IPVS booth were vendors of companion technologies to exacqVision, such as IP cameras and managed networking gear. Key issues with these LP professionals included a desire for flexible and scalable video surveillance solutions, and the ability to access all locations from a single remote interface. The ability to scale an exacqVision system to any size, the ease-of use of the user interface, the tie-in to POS systems, and the ability to seamlessly mix both IP and analog video, thereby allowing them to use existing cameras, was of significant interest. We were able to make a number of great contacts at this show.
Our thanks again to Eric and the entire crew at IPVS Magazine for once again putting together a great booth. We’ll be with IPVS Magazine in the retail market again in November when we head to Atlanta for the National Association of Convenience Stores Annual Convention.

We had a successful NRF show earlier this week in New York. Co-located with Axis Communications and their IP Cameras in the IPVS Magazine booth, we showed our exacqVision IP software in an all-IP megapixel camera environment.
The comments from the many integrators and retail loss prevention personnel who saw exacqVision IP focused on the following key points:
Low Cost – exacqVision IP is low-priced and simple to buy: one flat low price per video channel. Cameras can be easily added at any time. No additional server fees, enterprise fees, or charges for additional features.
Ease of Use – exacqVision IP NVR software is the most intuitive video surveillance software on the market.
True Scalability – whether you need just a couple of cameras for a convenience store, or hundreds of cameras across a chain of stores, excaqVision IP is an ideal solution.
Extensive IP Camera Support – exacqVision IP works with the most popular IP cameras on the market, including megapixel and PTZ IP cameras, from vendors such as Axis, Sony, IQeye, Panasonic, ACTi, and more.
Use of Existing Equipment – exacqVision IP can also integrate existing analog CCTV cameras seamlessly with the IP cameras, using the same user interface, with full frame rate and high quality images. No need to discard existing cameras, domes, PTZ units, etc.
POS Integration – exacqVision IP can integrate with POS systems, alarm systems, access control systems, and more.
In addition to sending all of the leads an evaluation copy of the exacqVision IP software, we’ll be forwarding the end-user leads to our dealer channel. Our thanks to Mark Bonde and the crew at IPVS Magazine for the terrific job they did with their booth at this year’s NRF show.
