Will Obama's
Election Reduce Demand For Security Products?
IP Video Market Info, a provider of and expert in IP

since 9/11 as the global war on terrorism spurred wasteful spending on
security. Obama's election and the change of administrations, the report
argues, will significantly reduce the funding and priority of security
products.

Presidential
Campaign Trail Tracked By Wireless Surveillance
Amid last week’s political conventions and massive
campaign rallies, wireless video surveillance has emerged as an
indispensable tool for law enforcement and public safety agencies
throughout the country. Orlando Police Department, Denver Police
Department and St. Paul Police Department, among others, used wireless
mesh technology to meet complex challenges of ensuring security and
preventing incidents when election passions run high.
In battleground Florida, campaign events took place almost daily. On
Oct. 21, the Barack Obama/Hillary Clinton rally in Orlando drew a record
crowd of 60,000 people. "Wireless surveillance provides an extra set of
eyes, greatly improving situational awareness and officer safety," said
Agent Blye with Electronic Surveillance Support Team at Orlando Police
Department.

Sony. Megapixel cameras that aren’t afraid of the dark.
Some megapixel cameras are remarkably scared of the dark. Because their
high resolution comes at the cost of poor low light performance. To
compensate, some rely on slow shutter speeds—which produce severe
motion blur. Sony did better, carefully balancing megapixel resolution
with the super sensitivity of our ExwavePRO and Light Funneling.
Discover Sony megapixel cameras. Because crime never sleeps.
