New Vendor Highlight: Kentix IP Multi-Sensor for 360° Full Environmental Protection - What is it and why is it important?

At ABP we pride ourselves on seeking out new products and technology solutions that will help our partners grow. We recently added a brand new solutions to help with environmental threats and concerns. You already protect your end-users against threats on their perimeter with active video systems, you bring new levels of intelligent analytic data inside their business, you can connect their surveillance solutions, control access and manage unified communications for team members across the world however everything today relies on delicate hardware inside protected areas for IT. Either rooms or closets.

This summer, we are excited to announce our new partnership with Kentix GmbH of Germany. Kentix systems specialize in monitoring critical assets and infrastructure with unique Kentix MultiSensor® technology. The MultiSensor® unit is a small form-factor device capable of detecting 20 different threats in the environment including passive infrared, sound, light, temperature, moisture, certain gases and fire-based threats. These units can be spread across an IDF or scaled with ease to monitor an entire corporate office. The Kentix system already is compatible with Mobotix and Axis as well as Nagios, PRTG and other IT equipment monitoring solutions. We believe this is a remarkable way to bring an additional layer of protection and information to your customers; and to make it easy for you to test out and adopt this new technology, we have specially priced Demo / NFR packages to test this solution out.

We believe Cloud monitored and logged Kentix MultiSensors® are the next trend in IP Physical security and strongly encourage you to get involved. Demo/NFRs are starting at $200.

MOBOTIX News:

MxMC Version 1.4 now available. It's a nice improvement too.

MxManagementCenter is maturing and MOBOTIX is bringing more functions into the fold with increased stability. ABP has been running the 1.4 version of MxMC for the last few weeks and we can attest the product is vastly improved only few sporadic crashes during importing/exporting of larger projects. MOBOTIX has done a lot of systems architecture updating which is reflected by the new file extensions for MXMC. We encourage you to take 1.4 for a test drive; we believe it's time to start deploying at least for smaller projects.

Introducing Mx101

We have rolled out a new MOBOTIX introduction class, called Mx101. This class is perfect for individuals and/or companies who are getting ready to install MOBOTIX. It will also help with some general knowledge for pre-sales support and enable team okayers to learn how to best quote installs and configure basic system.

After several trainings at our HQ in Dallas, we now plan a first field training in Canada. We are also planning more events in North America and later on in Latin America. Please keep an eye on our newsletters. You can always propose us to do a training in your area by emailing our Physical Security Solutions Manager, Clint Hays, at clint@abptech.com.

We have Mx6 in stock!

MOBOTIX has launched their new Mx6 dual-core technology that can now offer more simultaneous video streams, higher frame rates and can be used in bids requiring H.264 codec in addition MxPEG. MOBOTIX is currently offering this new line as an expansion to the the popular M15 & M25 models. The new models are labeled M16 & M26 and will co-exist with the M15 & M25.

ABP now has the new MOBOTIX M6 series hardware in-stock and ready to ship. If you've been waiting to see the new possibilities of the M6 series now is the perfect time to place an order. The M6 series' H.264 and double the processing power are going to unlock a new world of options for MOBOTIX and we encourage you to place an NFR order as a test drive for the new performance line. (ABP will provide an additional Demo Discount for your first Test Cameras One Unit per Model.)

MxThinClient: MOBOTIX Video Output Device

We have all come across the need to pipe a MOBOTIX video stream into video display for a customer. There have been a few choices of how to go about this, but now with the MxThinClient device from MOBOTIX we have a simple and straight-forward approach.

The MxThinClient runs off of a single PoE connection and supplies a HDMI video signal out and does not require a PC to use after the initial installation. Cameras can be displayed based on MxMessageSystem events such as MxActivitySensor or custom commands or assigned to the MxThinClient manually.

This is another tool to make providing a quality MOBOTIX solution for home automation, retail public monitors, and control rooms more streamlined. Get a unit with your next order and try it!
