Four Taiwan companies - EverFocus, GeoVision, PLANET and VIVOTEK - were introduced during a press luncheon held on the first day of ISC West. The event was organized by Taiwan External Trade Development Council (TAITRA) in its effort to promote advanced, innovative MIT security technologies to the world stage.
Taiwan companies shone at ISC West held in April, showcasing innovations ranging from cybersecurity cameras to touch LCD switches that represented the best of made-in-Taiwan products and solutions.
Four of them,
EverFocus,
GeoVision,
PLANET and
VIVOTEK, were introduced during a press luncheon held on the first day of the show. The event was organized by Taiwan External Trade Development Council (TAITRA) in its effort to promote advanced, innovative MIT security technologies to the world stage.
“Today, the United States and Taiwan enjoy an ever-expanding relationship and extensive engagement in many fields, especially in electronic security. Our products launch event unveil some of Silicon Island’s most cutting-edge products and technologies in the areas of IoT and Internet of Vehicles (IoV), unmanned security and cyber-physical integration. We are proud to showcase Taiwan’s finest at one of the United States’ most prestigious security tradeshows and look forward to having participants experience the future of security,” said Simon Lai, Executive Director of TAITRA. “Throughout ISC West 2018, Taiwan exhibitors will present their latest innovations. In pursuit of Asia’s Silicon Valley vision of propelling Taiwan to the international forefront of technology, Taiwanese companies continue their pursuit of excellence and innovation.”
As for the companies being featured at the luncheon, EverFocus demonstrated their XFleet Management Platform which allows users to easily track, monitor and manage any type of fleet vehicles on a Web browser anywhere and anytime. According to EverFocus, with Xfleet, users can not only reduce overall costs by effectively utilizing resources such as vehicles, fuel, and manpower, but also improve management efficiency and business performance by keeping and analyzing the historical records of the vehicle data as needed.
GeoVision, meanwhile, unveiled the VR 360, the world’s first virtual reality camera that can provide a 720-degree view. According to David Huang, President of GeoVision, it’s the only camera with two fisheye lenses to provide a floor to ceiling, 720-degree view with no blind spots. “It’s ideal for security environments such as airports, train stations, city streets, harbors and highways. The camera uses advanced computer vision technology to simulate a three-dimensional, highly realistic, and practical 3D space. It’s water-proof, vandal-proof and dust resistant, making it ideal for outdoors. It also boasts IR Night Mode for clear images even in dark environments,” said Huang, who also demonstrated a new facial recognition IP dome camera with AI. It can recognize human faces in 1.5 seconds, making possible the identification of authorized individuals, VIPs or people who are blacklisted.
PLANET explained how their intuitive touch LCD switch makes it possible to easily manage powered devices in real time. The switch has an LCD panel that displays impending network or powered device failure and other network issues, allowing users to deal with them quickly and improving management efficiency. In addition to the touch LCD interface, the solution features L2+ switching, intelligent PoE management and an ONVIF support function. An Industrial flat-type touch LCD switch model is also offered, making possible management of large-scale networks.
Finally, with the theme “Security within Security,” VIVOTEK demonstrated the first cybersecurity-enhanced network cameras in the IP surveillance industry. The three new cameras are armed with Trend Micro’s anti-intrusion software, allowing them to automatically detect and prevent credential attacks and block suspicious events. They also feature VIVOTEK’s Smart Stream II and H.265 technology, allowing users to benefit from reduced bandwidth and data storage demands by up to 90 percent more than systems employing H.264.
According to TAITRA, in the security industry, the United States is the largest buyer of electronic security products and spent US$12.3 billion on imports in the field in 2016. And Taiwan constitutes North America’s 4th largest trade partner in the electronic security field, with an import value that was close to $1 billion in 2016, it said.
