The Great ISC West Roundup 2016

I also had a great opportunity to tour the Honeywell Security & Fire booth—the biggest booth this year at ISC West 2016. Honeywell’s George Janelis, senior channel manager, gave me some informative demos on the amazing technology Honeywell now has available for the connected home, and outlined the increased support and options now available for Honeywell dealers looking to provide these options to their customers.

On Thursday, I started the day bright and early with the Security 5K/2K with Mission 500, a great charity in support of children and families in need. This year’s race raised $95,000, and awareness of how much more still needs to be done.

Back at the expo hall, I was able to conduct two great video interviews at the SSN Media Stage for ssnTV. My first interview was with Tom Kerber of Parks Associates, a market research company, who shared with me some interesting insights from the show as he was able to meet face-to-face with so many from the security industry. He noted that ISC West is an opportunity to gather “qualitative evidence to support some of the data and research we are seeing in areas like RMR growth, for example.”
