ControlByNet exhibited at the ESX show last week in Charlotte. Overall more than 2,200 security integration and monitoring company attendees visited the show – a 16 percent increase over 2010.
The show went well, although even with the increase in attendees the foot traffic seemed a little light overall. However, there were still some high quality leads and it is always good to see some competitor products, as well as the new technology making its way in the industry.
Hosted video providers are heavily targeting the 1-4 camera installations. Clearly it's easier to penetrate small businesses with a hosted solution as the up-front cost is usually significantly lower. The software requirements (features, flexibility) do not have to be very advanced to satisfy the local flower shop or deli owner. ControlByNet was the only company showing a hosted solution for larger organizations…whether that's a good or bad thing is yet to be seen!
Mobotix was making a big push with its cameras. Since Mobotix generally sells higher-end cameras, it was surprising to see such a presence in an area where cost matters a great deal.
There were a lot of small integrator companies. I expected some larger companies to visit and check out the latest technology, but most of the visitors were neighborhood cctv/alarm companies. Those groups make great resellers and are valuable customers, but I thought more national integrators would attend.
All in all we viewed it as a good show. The city of Charlotte is always a great place to go and the ESX folks did an excellent job.
ControlbyNet is showcasing its solutions for security integrators, resellers and consultants at the annual Electronic Security Expo.

From offsite hosted video, onsite video with hosted central authentication to guard station solutions, ControlByNet works with its clients daily to ensure its solution is meeting their current needs while also preparing for the challenges of tomorrow.
Intelligent bandwidth = lower cost – ControlByNet delivers its video in an efficient manners to ensure bandwidth is not compromised to other areas of the security solution.
100 percent web-based management – ControlByNet's unique central authentication technology allows an organization to have surveillance servers at many facilities or remotely hosted in a secure environment yet still maintain a single corporate login for all access. Users are presented with the sites they can access providing true management at the organization level – all via any web device.
Window-based architecture – i-flashback servers run in a Windows environment, which allow integrators to be more comfortable with installations and maintenance. The software does not require heavy server-side components and is often utilized on Windows 7 Pro, XP Pro or Windows Server.
Instant Access – ControlByNet provides its customers the ability to access video anywhere with an Internet connection and on almost any device including iPad, Xoom, iPhone and DROID.
Option to chose – When integrators select software provided by a camera manufacturer, they are often locked into that provider. This may not be ideal in a market where new companies are offering new innovative products. ControlByNet can provide its customers with the latest technology advancements without being locked into one brand.
