Association of Security Consultants’ (ASC) members and guests attended a recent ASC seminar in St James’s, central London.
The quarterly meeting now has a new name; formerly known as the ASC Business ‘Club’, the meeting will now be known as the ASC Business ‘Group’.
“Thinking Outside of the Box” was the theme for the day which drew a capacity audience. Sponsored by GJD Manufacturing Ltd, the proceedings were opened by ASC Chairman, Roy Sutherland, who welcomed all and introduced David Haywood of Elmdene International Ltd. who gave a presentation on power supplies and energy efficiency. Paul Phillips, Technical Officer from the BSIA then gave an overview of CP249 and the benefits of Open Interconnection Protocol.
Mark Rees from 360 Vision Technologies followed on the subject of Dual Imaging Technology and asked: “Why not have the best of both worlds!” 360 Vision Technology design and manufacture a range of analogue and IP CCTV products.
Rapid deployment CCTV to combat construction site theft, the cost to the Industry and an analysis against traditional methods were then covered by Colin Walters and Victoria Waude from RVR, the UTC-owned BS8418 monitoring station.
Greg Stuttle from GJD Manufacturing Ltd. then gave a presentation titled “External Detection The Next Generation’, which covered BS8418 revisions and the way forward with digital detectors. GJD Ltd. has for more than 30 years specialised in the design and manufacture of external movement detectors. He rounded off the formal presentations.
Roy Sutherland thanked all those who participated and attended, and especially GJD Manufacturing for sponsoring the seminar. Roy then invited everyone to stay for drinks and a buffet luncheon which gave the audience and presenters an opportunity to network on an informal basis.
Roy also reminded the audience that the next ASC Business Group would be held on Thursday, June 2, and that the programme was being finalised for the ASC’s 17th International showcase, CONSEC 2011, to run on Thursday, November 3, 2011, at the Royal Air Force Museum, Hendon. He added that there were only a few sponsorship spaces remaining for this prestigious event.
