HALO Smart Sensor 2.2 from IPVideo Corporation Wins the Security Industry Association's New Product Showcase Award

BAY SHORE, N.Y., June 18, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- IPVideo Corporation was selected as a 2021 SIA New Product Award winner in the environmental monitoring category for the new 2.2 features release of the HALO Smart Sensor.

"SIA congratulates IPVideo Corporation for being selected as the recipient of the Environmental Monitoring Systems category award in SIA's 2021 New Product Showcase," said SIA CEO Don Erickson. "It's this type of continual innovation and drive to succeed, that advances the security industry and which contributes to the safety and security of our world."

The HALO Smart Sensor is an all-in-one device that includes vape and THC detection, gunshot detection, security for privacy areas with spoken ke yword and sound alerts, chemical detection, air quality monitoring, and a smart building manager. Our latest new award-winning features in the 2.2 firmware included indoor air quality monitoring, BACnet integration to trigger facility environmental changes, and cleaning chemical signature verification all to assist with the fight against COVID-19 and the spread of airborne infectious disease.    

Poor indoor air quality and air filtering are of great concern with the return to work and school. HALO will now monitor and send alerts based on Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) measurements and will report the Air Quality Index (AQI), based on the EPA's regulated standards for the indoor environment. HALO will identify if the environment is in the danger zone for the spread of disease at the location of each sensor.

The integration with BACnet will allow communication of building automation and control systems for applications such as heating, ventilating, and air-conditioning control (HVAC), lighting control, access control, and fire detection systems and their associated equipment. HALO alerts and sensor readings can now communicate to these varied control systems to address and make improvements in response to the alerts received.    

In addition to standard chemical detection, an additional health and safety measure in HALO 2.2 is the recognition of cleaning chemical signatures. Now you can monitor, record, and have validation of when specific locations have been sanitized to ensure safety.

Additional safety features have been added under 2.2 including certified gunshot detection with dual-factor authentication and 360-degree range and additional emergency key words have been added for spoken alerts.

All of these new features are available for download via the new 2.2 Firmware at no additional cost!

"These new features are a game-changer for the healthy return to indoor facilities," states Jonathan Antar, Director of IPVideo Corporation. "We are constantly looking to bring new features to better protect our clients and citizens and I am very pleased that we were able to include these great new air quality monitoring features at no additional cost to our customers."

Since its inception in 1979, the Security Industry Association (SIA) New Product Showcase has been the security industry's premier product awards program. New products are reviewed by a panel of judges with extensive industry experience, and in 2021, following significant deliberations, the 6 teams of judges presented awards for technologies covering numerous product and service categories. The awards are presented in coordination with ISC West and were revealed on June 17th as part of a virtual presentation ceremony.
