The Security Industry Association (SIA) announces the 2023 winners of the SIA New Products and Solutions (NPS) Awards, the flagship awards program presented in partnership with ISC West recognising innovative security products, services and solutions.

Top among the winners, who were recognised March 29 during an award ceremony on the ISC West show floor, was Alocity, receiving the 2023 Best New Product Award.

Innovative security products

Since its inception in 1979, the SIA NPS Awards have been the security industry’s premier product awards program.

The 2023 SIA NPS Awards entries will be on display March 29-31 in Booth #25075 on the ISC West show floor

New products are reviewed by a panel of judges with extensive industry experience, and in 2023, following significant deliberations, the 30+ judges presented awards for technologies covering 26 product and service categories. The 2023 SIA NPS Awards entries will be on display March 29-31 in Booth #25075 on the ISC West show floor. Alocity received the Best New Product honor for its Alocity Access Control Platform product, submitted in the Access Control Devices and Peripherals – Wireless category.

Managing access control

“[Alocity Access Control Platform] is an intelligent security platform to manage access control with video and connected sensors, a multifunction reader with 3D face verification, mobile credentials over Bluetooth and NFC,” said Alocity. “Video intercom with remote unlock. Onboard zigbee module provides integration with zigbee motion, door/window contact, lights, locks and environmental sensors with automated workflows.”

The prestigious Judges’ Choice Award was presented to IPVideo Corporation for the Sentry ERS product, submitted in the Emergency and Mass Communication Systems category. “[Sentry ERS is] a lockdown and emergency response system purposely built with schools in mind,” said IPVideo Corporation. “With a single button push, lockdown protocols are initiated and immediate alerts are sent to police providing superior incident awareness with live video, voice, text and GPS location data from areas where traditional video cameras cannot be deployed.”
