Steve Jobs once said, “Innovation is the difference between a leader and a follower.” Several ECT Services partners have been busy lately, leading their industries with important innovations. Here’s a round-up:

The relay of critical information in active shooter situations just picked up a whole lot of speed, thanks to a new project between Active Shooter Systems and Desktop Alerts.

The two companies recently announced new integrations which accurately pinpoint an active shooter as soon as the first shot is fired, then issue alerts via social media, speaker systems, computer monitors, telephones, mobile devices and fire alarms.

HID has released new transponders and tags specially designed for on metal applications. The new tags support NFC-V standards, expanding the possibilities for use in industrial, Internet of Things applications.

Axis Communications has launched a new tool aimed at streamlining security system design. AXIS Site Designer works online and offline to recommend cameras and recording solutions for small and mid-sized systems. Site Designer includes templates for a variety of security requirements and gives interactive guidance on the selection of cameras, recording products and accessories needed for a complete surveillance solution.
