Secutech 2025 enters its second day. The show is held May 7-9 at the Nangang Exhibition Hall, where Taiwan security companies wow the world with their cutting-edge products and solutions. Below are some highlights seen on Day 2 of the show.
Seamless integration with home automation
Deeplet is a Taiwan-based video surveillance solutions provider. The company is showcasing a variety of products and solutions that are fully NDAA-compliant. All products from IP cams to DVRs/NVRs are equipped with SoCs from Taiwan-based Novatek. Among the products on display are their 32-ch DVR meeting users’ large project needs, and their ALPR camera allowing employees and whitelisted people to enter automatically and get a frictionless experience. The company has long been an exhibitor at Secutech. What’s new this year is it’s co-exhibiting with access control and smart intercom supplier KCA – both companies are now under Panasonic. The merger has created synergy and adds value to customers. So the aforementioned ALPR camera is no longer just a standalone product. Once the camera detects an incoming vehicle belonging to a known user, it will signal KCA or Panasonic's home automation solution so that the garage door will open, the lights in the house will be turned on and HVAC activated, providing a fully automated smart home and smart living experience.
Mobile access control
One of the major trends in security is mobile access control, which leverages the user’s smart device to give them access to facilities. In many ways it’s an attractive access control solution because chances are users will never lose or forget their smart devices as opposed to cards or keyfobs. It’s no wonder, then, that many exhibitors this year are showing their mobile access control solutions. Chiyu Technology, for example, displays theirs where the user only needs to download the Chiyu app and point the device to the reader, and the door opens. The company also has other authentication solutions supporting cards, QR codes and biometrics. The devices can all be connected to the company’s cloud platform, called Somac, to allow reduced capital cost and ease of management.
Smart rail and healthcare
Taiwan company 3S is a leading security products and systems provider. It has on display at its booth solutions for a variety of vertical markets. Smart rail is an example, where the company has various cameras, from fisheyes to thermals, to secure trains, platforms and rail tracks. This year, the company is showcasing their thermal-visible light bi-spectral camera to make detection more accurate and reduce false alarms. For example, the thermal unit of the camera may detect a collection of warm rainwater on the track, decide it's an obstruction, and issue an alarm. The operator can then check the visible light unit and see it’s only water, and they can inform the train driver it’s ok to go.
Separately, the company has a smart healthcare solution where AI is applied to thermal images taken at hospital wards or senior home rooms. Anyone falling or having a fever can be detected and dealt with immediately, while their privacy is protected.
Cutting-edge MIT hardware
Some products on display are quite conventional, yet they still attract with their high quality and performance. One example is Accord, a leader in keypad technology which brings to the show their waterproof keypads, military keypads, backlight keypads and silicone rubber keypads. The company has for three decades devoted itself to providing customers one-stop solutions in both unique and standard models. From designing, mold-making to final assembly, the company’s self-contained production line makes it possible to deliver at the fastest time and best price.
