Alocity took the top honor in SIA’s annual award program recognizing innovative security products in partnership with ISC West.
The Security Industry Association (SIA) has announced the 2023 winners of the SIA New Products and Solutions (NPS) Awards, the flagship awards program presented in partnership with ISC West recognizing innovative security products, services and solutions. Top among the winners, who were recognized March 29 during an award ceremony on the ISC West show floor, was Alocity, receiving the 2023 Best New Product Award.
Since its inception in 1979, the SIA NPS Awards have been the security industry’s premier product awards program. New products are reviewed by a panel of judges with extensive industry experience, and in 2023, following significant deliberations, the 30+ judges presented awards for technologies covering 26 product and service categories. The 2023 SIA NPS Awards entries will be on display March 29-31 in Booth #25075 on the ISC West show floor.
Alocity received the Best New Product honor for its Alocity Access Control Platform product, submitted in the Access Control Devices and Peripherals – Wireless category.
“[Alocity Access Control Platform] is an intelligent security platform to manage access control with video and connected sensors, a multifunction reader with 3D face verification, mobile credentials over Bluetooth and NFC,” said Alocity. “Video intercom with remote unlock. Onboard zigbee module provides integration with zigbee motion, door/window contact, lights, locks and environmental sensors with automated workflows.”
The prestigious Judges’ Choice Award was presented to IPVideo Corporation for the Sentry ERS product, submitted in the Emergency and Mass Communication Systems category.
“[Sentry ERS is] a lockdown and emergency response system purposely built with schools in mind,” said IPVideo Corporation. “With a single button push, lockdown protocols are initiated and immediate alerts are sent to police providing superior incident awareness with live video, voice, text and GPS location data from areas where traditional video cameras cannot be deployed.”
“The SIA NPS Awards program had an impressive pool of entrants in 2023, and the judges were inspired by the array of ideas and technologies represented this year,” said Josh Heisler, chair of the SIA NPS Awards Committee and global head of tech and tools at Amazon. “Following hours of panel-driven judging and technology demonstrations, we were thrilled to determine this year’s awardees, and we congratulate all the winners. Thank you to our knowledgeable judges for your commitment and support and for volunteering your valuable time and expertise to help make the 2023 SIA NPS program a success.”
Additionally, Bosch Security Systems received the SIA NPS Merit Award, which recognizes an individual or company who, through their support of the SIA NPS Awards, demonstrates a commitment to the vision and mission of the program, contributes to its success and promotes the advancement of SIA and the security industry overall.
“SIA congratulates the 2023 SIA NPS Awards honorees for being selected in this year’s competitive program,” said SIA CEO Don Erickson. “SIA applauds all the 2023 award winners, and in particular Alocity and IPVideo Corporation, whose contributions stood out among the impressive field of entrants to earn the Best New Product and Judges’ Choice honors.
