ISC West 2025 in Las Vegas showcased the latest advancements in security technology, offering security professionals a glimpse into the future of the industry. This year's expo highlighted the growing influence of artificial intelligence (AI), cloud computing, and enhanced integration. The pioneering comprehensive and converged security event attracted nearly 29,000 industry professionals to the Venetian Convention Centre.  Integration into unified platforms Several companies emphasised the importance of cloud-based solutions and the integration of diverse security components into unified platforms. For example, Brivo's Security Suite provides “everything in one platform” – not just access control. Customers only pay for what they use because the system is flexible and scalable from a single door to enterprise level applications. Brivo’s suite includes video, but the system can also tie in with third-party “partners.” Genetec's Security Centre allows for more frequent updates through the cloud. Milestone is undergoing a two-year transition to bring its Xprotect system into the future by incorporating Arcules and Briefcam into a video-as-a service product. Suprema introduced BioStar X, which integrates access control and video analytics into a single platform. AI and mobile credentials  Axis Communications’ Cloud Connect product announced three new partnerships at ISC West 2025 Axis Communications’ Cloud Connect product announced three new partnerships at ISC West – Eagle Eye Networks, SecuriThings, and Wesco. They join the three partners announced during the first year of Axis Cloud Connect – Genetec, Kone (elevators) and Milestone. AI and mobile credentials were still hot topics at ISC West 2025, but the conversation has evolved beyond amazement at the technologies’ capabilities and now centres on more practical aspects. From the theoretical to the practical “AI and mobility are still the ‘flavors de jour,’ but messages are evolving to manifest AI for better outcomes,” says Heather Torrey, General Manager, Commercial Security, Americas, for Honeywell Building Automation. The company has reframed its security portfolio to be very building- and business-focused, continuing to grow and evolve after the recent acquisition of LenelS2. “From the theoretical to the practical, we want customers to be part of the conversation so we can deliver AI that is meaningful to them, focusing on what’s most important,” says Torrey. Under Honeywell’s new ownership structure, “each part of the business can be more focused on customers’ needs,” she says. Honeywell continues its journey around mobile access and credentialing and migrating to cloud solutions. Innovations in Access Control Gallagher’s new Quickswitch access control board simplifies the migration from legacy systems Access control remains a critical component of security systems, and ISC West 2025 showcased several innovations in this area. Acre is releasing “Gallery,” its version of the App Store for access control. DormaKaba is launching the Keyscan KC Series door controller with TCP/IP connectivity and enhanced features. Gallagher’s new Quickswitch access control board simplifies the migration from legacy systems. Johnson Controls highlighted its C-Cure command centre and C-Cure IQ web client, offering a unified approach to access control and video. Hardware integrations for security panels For service provider Alarm.com, hardware products prepare a path to greater customer experiences, says Abe Kinney, Alarm.com’s Director, Product Management, who oversees hardware integrations for security panels, sensors, video, etc., and drives new product development. “We are looking to bridge the physical world to digital world,” he says. “We want to bring an advantage to our dealers that they can bring to customers.” Because Alarm.com’s customers pay a monthly fee, the products must be durable and economical, says Kinney. “It should work with no need for truck rolls.” The importance of longevity and flexibility Products are evaluated based on features, price, and ease of installation Products are evaluated based on features, price, and ease of installation. In particular, longevity is important for the Alarm.com’s pro channel. There is also a growing emphasis on deterrence industrywide. Says Kinney: “We recognise that detection is part of it, but we need to prevent problems from happening in the first place. And the industry is re-evaluating.” When it comes to cloud intelligence, Eagle Eye Networks puts the emphasis on flexibility. They offer AI that can perform anywhere on the system infrastructure, on the camera, on their on-site bridge device, or in the cloud. They support their own AI and also any AI product from a third party. “We focus on what customers want from the data AI detects,” says Hans Kahler, Eagle Eye Networks’ Chief Operating Officer. Integration with other systems A timely alert from gun detection could save a life, but AI can also generate information that might be used and analysed later, such as point-of-sale information, dwell time, foot traffic, etc. “What people want is the ability to work with the data for business intelligence,” says Kahler. Integration with other systems provides new opportunities for customers: For example, a licence plate reader at a restaurant drive-thru could trigger customisation of the menu board digital signage based on the customer’s previous buying pattern. Relentless Innovation Assa Abloy handles more than 40 million SKUs for all its various brands, faked in 28 factories in the US Assa Abloy handles more than 40 million stock keeping units (SKUs) for all its various brands manufactured in 28 factories in the United States. Merely complying with regulations such as the “Buy American Act” is a monumental effort considering the massive product line, attendees heard at Assa Abloy’s Annual ISC West Breakfast focusing on compliance challenges in the security market. Meanwhile, back at the trade show booth, Assa Abloy focused on “relentless innovation” in every corner of its product line. Assa Abloy’s message: Innovation in security does not have to be about AI or automation. In fact, inventive approaches to products come in all shapes and sizes and at every level of the product portfolio, and innovation is happening faster than ever. For example, the Safebolt product from Securitech, a brand recently acquired by Assa Abloy, can quickly lock down existing doors with the press of a red button on a cylindrical or mortise lock. Temporary Systems to Secure Events Securing events is the focus of Allied Universal's Unified Command Solutions, which specialises in setting up temporary security systems for conventions, trade shows, festivals, construction sites, parades, and other events. They can add technology to situations where previously mostly security officers were used, providing safety/security and enabling more efficient event operation.  “We can put cameras anywhere, whether they need power or not, use cell service or WiFi, a localised network or the internet, or whatever,” says Andrew LaMadrid, VP, Sales for Allied Universal's Unified Command Solutions. Event operation and management IDIS came to ISC West looking to leverage new products that they did not promote in the past The focus is on easy implementation, flexibility, and fast setup and removal. “We look for a solution to solve each customer’s pain points,” says LaMadrid. They specialise in setting up and deploying surveillance cameras for safety/security and for event operation and management. Mobile surveillance is a relatively new “piece of our puzzle” when it comes to protecting high-profile events. “People are excited about what we can offer that’s new,” says LaMadrid. Unified Command Solutions has been around for about 12 years and was acquired by Allied Universal last summer. IDIS came to ISC West looking to leverage new products that they did not promote in the past, and visitors were very interested in those solutions, says Scott Switzer, IDIS CEO. “The progression of our product line has been tremendous,” he says. Last year, the IDIS booth offered only basic analytics, but this year they had 30 different advanced analytics including gun and aggression detection using the advanced solution “IDIS Vaidio AI.”  What Makes You Different? The most common question IDIS hears at their trade show booth is: “What makes you different?” The answer: They offer an end-to-end solution, including cameras; they manage, control, design from end-to-end; and there is no need for multiple integrations. The time needed to install an IDIS system is significantly less because of the simplicity. “We have customers we have supported and grown together for over 20 years,” says Switzer. The company previously deployed IDIS cameras under the Costar brand before the Korean IDIS brand was introduced into the U.S. (IDIS purchased Costar and changed the name to IDIS America.) “This has been a tremendous show for us; we are looking to build our momentum and let more people know about IDIS,” says Switzer. Managing real AI at the edge The depth of their metadata enables new applications, whether for security or business operations Based in Prague, Czech Republic, and with U.S. offices in Pennsylvania, FF Group provides licence plate recognition for harsh environments. Using Axis cameras, they offer “managed real AI at the edge,” selling through a nationwide distributed network, says Alex Osypov, CEO and Founder of FF Group. Markets include parking lots, cities/municipalities, police, government, water systems, etc. The depth of their metadata enables new applications, whether for security or business operations. They are looking to combine and correlate data including LIDAR, RADAR, etc. to exploit the advantages of “data fusion.” Osypov says: “The market is growing because we are involving other adjacent markets.” Unified platforms and advanced tools Several companies are focusing on enhancing security operations centres (SOCs) by providing unified platforms and advanced tools. Axon’s Fusus system “layers” onto existing infrastructure, tying together various sensors into a single interface for real-time monitoring and information sharing. Increasingly, enterprises have invested in a lot of technologies – ac, video, asset trackers – but none of it talks together. Fusus ties all the systems together so that operators no longer have to look at 10 different screens. Rather, there is a “single pane of glass” that shows everything and facilitates sharing of information with law enforcement.  Motorola also showcased its Security Operations Centre, which integrates hardware, software, smart sensors, communication radios, and broadband devices to streamline incident management.

Physical security technologies are a prominent tool used by correctional facilities to provide a safe, secure, and controlled environment for staff, inmates, and the wider community. Among several functions, security technologies are used to prevent unauthorised access, to detect contraband, to monitor inmate movements and activities, and to protect staff. For security technology manufacturers, integrators and consultants, the corrections market presents distinctive challenges. We asked our Expert Panel Roundtable: What are the unique aspects of the corrections market, and how should the physical security industry adapt?

New technology advancements significantly increase efficiency and productivity in any industry, including physical security. Enhanced innovation both creates new products and services and improves existing products, all for the benefit of security manufacturers, integrators, and end users. Companies that embrace new technology stay ahead of the curve and gain a significant competitive advantage. In addition, they can differentiate themselves in the marketplace. We asked this week's Expert Panel Roundtable: What are the most promising new technologies in the physical security industry?   

Access control solutions will continue their evolution in 2025 as organisations assess and adapt to dynamic and increasingly dangerous threats. Trends to watch include the growing adoption of mobile access credentials and digital IDs, and the integration of digital and physical security and other technologies. Other ongoing trends include the integration of AI into access control solutions and the increasing adoption of contactless biometrics for enhanced convenience.  New access control innovations As these trends gather momentum, they highlight the pivotal role access control systems play in combining security and convenience, every hour of every day. Organisations must strike the ideal balance between a secure environment and satisfying user experience if they are to meet increasingly vocal demands for both. Achieving this balance not only delivers the expected user experience but also delivers multi-layered threat protection while introducing exciting new access control innovations.  Digital technologies and open standards Modern access control solutions deliver a faster pace of innovation and dramatically improved capabilities Modern access control solutions deliver a faster pace of innovation and dramatically improved capabilities as compared to what was possible in the past. The primary objective is no longer simply to secure places and assets so they are beyond the reach of the wrong people. Now it also must be as easy as possible for authorised individuals to enter a building or access digital assets. Mobile access credentials and digital IDs are increasingly a preferred solution for achieving this seamless and convenient access experience. Technology convergence is happening at a rapid pace and this convergence makes it possible to integrate digital and physical security with real-time location systems and other technologies. Together, these converged technologies provide multi-layered protection against both cyber and physical threats while also enabling valuable new capabilities.  2024 State of Physical Access Control Report As AI is increasingly incorporated into access-control solutions, we will see even more powerful ways to leverage access control data for analytics use cases. Almost 40% of respondents to our 2024 State of Physical Access Control Report said they were looking to do this. Equally consequential is the rise of fast, frictionless and easy contactless biometrics solutions in a wide range of applications including healthcare, where 32% of respondents to our recent 2024 State of Healthcare Security Report said their facilities have already implemented this technology for authentication. Looking at the broader marketplace, nearly one in four (23%) respondents to our 2024 State of Physical Access Control Report cited biometrics when asked to “name the top three trends shaping the wider access control industry in the near future.” Evolution of access control solutions As access control solutions become increasingly central to secure and convenient daily life, these and other trends will have an ongoing impact on all market sectors from healthcare and banking to the corporate real estate enterprise and business and college campuses. At the same time, those responsible for a facility’s digital and physical assets know that these trends – and security in general – will never be a static proposition. The only constant is change. Threats will never stop evolving, and those tasked with protecting organisations against these threats must never stand still. The evolution of access control solutions that we saw during 2024 will continue through 2025 and beyond, and organisations will need to remain thorough and vigilant as they address today’s ever-expanding attack surfaces and ever-evolving attack schemes.

As security threats evolve, so must the tools they use to respond to them. Fixed cameras, once the backbone of any surveillance system, are now only part of a bigger picture. Now risks are dynamic, mobile, and unpredictable — and in many cases, they don’t wait to happen in front of a network camera. Best camera placements Security teams know this reality all too well. A theft in the far end of a parking lot. A conflict in a hallway just outside a camera’s view. An incident at a temporary event with no infrastructure. These aren’t rare cases — they’re everyday blind spots. And here’s the truth: even with the best camera placements, there will always be moments the system misses. So the question is no longer “Where can they place more cameras?” It’s becoming: “What if the people already on the ground could become the camera?” Why security can’t stay static A security guard notices suspicious activity near a parked car In fast-changing environments, static infrastructure alone can’t keep up — and everyday use cases prove it. A security guard notices suspicious activity near a parked car, but the incident unfolds just outside the camera’s view. A warehouse supervisor spots damaged goods during delivery, needing quick documentation for accountability. At a public event, crowd movement spills into areas where cameras weren’t installed — and there’s no time to reroute coverage. Real-time eyes These are the moments where security depends on the people on the ground — the first to notice, assess, and act — often before the control room is even aware. And increasingly, it’s the people on the ground who are stepping into that role — not just as responders, but as real-time eyes for the system. When the first responder feeds the frontline intelligence Security guards, floor managers, supervisors — they’re often the first to witness something unusual, long before a control room is even alerted. Now imagine this: what if, in that exact moment, they could pull out their phone, open a secure app, and stream live video directly into the surveillance system, with full context? Traditional surveillance systems Instead of hoping a camera catches it, they equip their team to document the moment as it happens Instead of hoping a camera catches it, they equip their team to document the moment as it happens. No delays. No evidence lost in transit. No blind spots. And that single shift makes the entire security system more agile, more accurate, and far more complete. And it’s already happening in the real world — across sectors and scenarios where traditional surveillance systems alone aren’t enough. Smartphones as surveillance tools: The next step The idea isn’t to replace traditional surveillance — it’s to extend it. To turn every authorised smartphone into a secure, mobile surveillance point. To let the team record critical incidents and immediately route that footage into the central surveillance system — not minutes or hours later, but as it happens. What’s needed is a solution that makes mobile footage just as reliable and authentic as fixed-camera feeds — and that’s where the next step in surveillance begins. Now in Matrix: Push Video for on-the-go surveillance Push Video clips can be analysed with the same tools used for fixed camera footage With this vision in mind, Matrix introduces Push Video — a feature that enables authorised users to stream live video directly from their smartphone to Matrix Video Management System (VMS). The footage is geo-tagged, time-stamped, and securely stored, ensuring that no moment is lost or disconnected from the larger surveillance story. And the power doesn’t end at streaming. Once archived in the VMS, Push Video clips can be analysed with the same tools used for fixed camera footage. Modern security Investigators can apply video analytics like motion detection, tripwire alerts, loitering detection, and more. They can also use smart investigator tools — such as timeline filtering, bookmarking, evidence locking, and multi-camera correlation — to review the footage thoroughly and act decisively. It’s simple. It’s smart. And it’s built for the way modern security actually works — fast, mobile, and always in motion.

Crime analysts at DeterTech, a trusted security partner to renewables and the police, have identified the unwanted import of a crime type more commonly seen in mainland Europe and North America. The theft of copper cabling from inside wind turbines has historically been rare in the UK. However, this has dramatically changed over the past month. There have been 9 reported offences since 14 April suggesting an organised group is targeting the industry.   Wind farm complex The targeted locations span several counties, including Cambridgeshire, Bedfordshire, Derbyshire, Essex, Humberside, Northamptonshire, North Yorkshire and Lincolnshire.  In one instance, three turbines within a single wind farm complex were broken into, further underscoring the scale and potential coordination of these operations. Risk of electrocution The offenders appear undeterred by the fact that the turbines are active at the time of entry Once offenders have gained entry, the turbine door is forcibly opened, and the electricity supply is isolated to eliminate the risk of electrocution. The copper cabling is then cut and removed. Notably, the offenders appear undeterred by the fact that the turbines are active at the time of entry, indicating a high level of confidence and familiarity with the infrastructure. Recent CCTV footage Richard Crisp, Intelligence Analyst, DeterTech, says: “With such a surge of cable theft incidents in the UK, we are urging wind farm management companies to inspect their turbines for any signs of tampering or theft. Any incidents need to be reported immediately to the local police. Additionally, we encourage operators to review recent CCTV footage for any suspicious activity, particularly around entrance gates, and to remain vigilant to unfamiliar vehicles or individuals near their sites”. In the first instance, all thefts, suspicious vehicle and hostile reconnaissance need to be reported to local police force – this allows the National Infrastructure Crime Reduction Partnership (NICRP) and UK policing agencies to build a comprehensive picture of the threat and coordinate an effective response.

Forklift collisions cost UK businesses over £100 million annually in workplace injury claims and equipment damage, according to HSE statistics. SharpEagle Technology, a globally renowned provider of industrial safety solutions, has announced a significant breakthrough in warehouse safety across the UK. Facilities that adopted SharpEagle’s Radar Blind Spot Detection System have reported up to 70% reduction in forklift-related accidents, marking a major milestone in workplace safety. The UK's blind spot crisis With over 1,300 forklift-related incidents reported to HSE each year, many involving serious injuries, UK regulators are pushing for smarter safety solutions. Traditional mirrors and cameras frequently fail in: Rainy loading docks Dusty manufacturing plants Crowded retail distribution centres Visual and audible signals The system, which uses radar sensors to monitor blind spots and detect real-time sign around forklifts The system, which uses radar sensors to monitor blind spots and detect real-time movement around forklifts, has proven to be a game changer in accident prevention.  It immediately alerts operators through visual and audible signals when people or objects enter dangerous proximity zones, reducing the likelihood of collisions, especially in busy loading docks and narrow warehouse aisles. Real-time awareness "In a typical warehouse, poor visibility and human error can lead to severe accidents. Our technology gives operators real-time awareness they didn’t have before," said the UK Business Head of SharpEagle Technology, adding "The impact has been measurable. Clients report fewer incidents, improved productivity, and safer working conditions." Adoption growing across logistics  The system offers cost-effective safety enhancement without the need for vehicle relief The Radar Blind Spot Detection System has quickly gained popularity among UK logistics providers, manufacturing units, and retail distribution centres — sectors where high forklift traffic and pedestrian movement often intersect. By integrating with existing forklift infrastructure, the system offers cost-effective safety enhancement without the need for vehicle replacement. It is also compatible with SharpEagle’s wider range of forklift safety solutions, including AI-based camera systems and anti-collision lights. Regulatory & insurance benefits In addition to preventing injuries, the deployment of radar-based detection systems has helped warehouses comply with UK Health and Safety Executive (HSE) guidelines. Several facilities have seen a reduction in insurance claims and premiums, along with fewer incidents of lost workdays due to injury. "Workplace safety is not just a legal requirement — it’s a business imperative. This technology ensures companies are equipped to meet the demands of a modern, high-speed supply chain without compromising on the well-being of their workforce."
