Digital Watchdog® (DW®), the industry leader in digital recorders, surveillance cameras and related management software, announces the release of our new SiteWatch™ and NightWatch™ lines of motion detectors and illuminators. The new products are the perfect additions to any surveillance system that requires robust external lighting and cutting-edge motion detection. All DW® detectors and illuminators are fully integrated with DW Spectrum® IPVMS and can be controlled and managed remotely from the software.

The DW-DTPIRIPW and DW-DTMWIPW SiteWatch™ motion detectors are quad-element passive infra-red (PIR) external movement detectors that combine advanced signal processing and unique optical systems. The detector’s quad PIR sensing module is equipped with two (2) volt free and two (2) negative switched outputs with a programmable beam range of up to 98.5ft (30m), avoiding boundary overspill and offering truly exceptional resistance to false alarms.

The DW-DTLA500 SiteWatch™ laser sensor monitors and locates intrusions for enhanced security applications or where physical barriers are not desirable or possible. The 1,640ft (500m) sensor works without reflectors and reacts in fractions of a second. The DW-DTLA500 laser sensor knows the exact position of an object and offers adaptive alarm settings.

The NightWatch™ outdoor illuminators are IP-enabled infrared (IR) (DW-ILIRIP850, DW-ILIRIP940) and white-light LED (DW-ILWLIPM) illuminators. For superior flexibility, NightWatch™ lighting includes a variety of lens diffusers to customize beam spread to match camera views or job requirements.

When Barco introduced their UniSee system in 2017, they transformed the LCD video wall experience. Barco UniSee provided unmatched installation ease and uniformity with a stunning image. Barco’s mounting system allowed for the thinnest bezels, but one thing was missing—a trim solution.

The Draper® SmartTrim™ for Barco UniSee® offers quick and easy attachment for a wide range of standard and custom Barco UniSee video wall configurations. Utilizing existing Barco UniSee X mounts, the trim clicks securely into place with magnets to cover and protect the Barco UniSee wall mount. It comes standard with a textured matte black finish, white or other powder coat colors are optional. A variety of custom colors, wood veneers, and laminates allow the trim to match almost any new or existing installation environment.

Co-developed by Draper, Inc., and SMS Smart Media Solutions, a Draper subsidiary in Sweden, the Draper SmartTrim™ for Barco UniSee® is patent pending and design protected.


Revel PerformaBE F226Be

Revel is growing our PerformaBe Series, and one of the key additions to the family is the new F226Be floorstanding loudspeaker.

As the smallest of the Beryllium floorstanding models, the F226Be offers phenomenal performance from a compact enclosure size. The slender cabinet design houses a pair of 6.5-inch cast-frame, DCC cone woofers, in addition to the same 1-inch Beryllium tweeter, cast-aluminum ceramic coated Acoustic Lens waveguide, and 5.25-inch DCC midrange driver as found in the larger F228Be. To complement the smaller design, the F226Be enclosure has additional internal window-pane bracing to eliminate cabinet-induced coloration. With its remarkable acoustic performance, elegant appearance and choice of premium finishes, the F226Be sets a new standard for compact floorstanding loudspeakers.

The “Beauty of Beryllium” is the big difference maker in the PerformaBe Series. Beryllium is a rare earth metal known for its remarkable physical properties that make it the ideal material from which to construct a high-frequency transducer.

Utilizing Klipsch Pro Cinema components, the same type used in actual movie theaters, this modular system is configured for screen sizes for 133”, 160” and 180” and can be ordered using a single part number. Attendees were so impressed that the system/experience was awarded Best in Show by Residential Systems!

Luxul Cut the Cord at CEDIA Expo 2019 With the Unveil of Epic Mesh

Quick and Simple to Install, Wireless Mesh Solution Delivers Fast, Reliable Connectivity Anywhere in the Home

Luxul debuted a new wireless mesh solution at CEDIA Expo 2019. The first of its kind for the CEDIA market, Luxul’s Epic Mesh combines a mesh node acting as a router and additional satellite nodes that require no wired link between them. Each node in the network can talk to all the others, forming a point-to-point mesh for fast, reliable, truly wireless internet.

Providing integrators with flexible installation and placement, the Epic Mesh kit comes with two dual-purpose mesh nodes that can each serve as either a router or a satellite node. Simple to install, integrators turn one of the two nodes into a router using the Luxul Easy Setup App on their iOS or Android smartphone. The app also turns the other node into a satellite node, which is placed around the residence to create a powerful wireless mesh. There is no need to run additional wires; integrators just plug the satellite node into an available outlet.

An innovative tri-band (2×2, 2×2, 4×4) antenna array enables two 2×2 bands for client connectivity and a third powerful 4×4 5GHz dedicated backhaul channel to ensure strong connectivity back to the router, so homeowners get fast internet anywhere in the home. Luxul leverages the most current technology available with Wave 2, utilizing MU-MIMO for this high-performance WiFi mesh solution, and further meets the needs of integrators by providing eight SSIDs for networking flexibility. Additional satellite nodes can be incorporated as needed to accommodate installations of any size, and if one node falls offline, the others still have a path back to the router node, maintaining a connection to the rest of the network.

“The Epic Mesh combines the reliability of a Luxul wireless product with the ease of a simple networking solution,” said Kevin Hansen, vice president of channel sales at Legrand | AV – Luxul. “For users, this means exceptional wireless performance, while integrators will enjoy easier and faster installation than ever before with our Easy Setup App. Epic Mesh represents a powerful addition to our lineup of networking solutions, and we can’t wait to show it off at CEDIA.”
