Bosch has
introduced
the ×2
Connect
Video Partner
Program,
which it says
is designed to connect system integrators with the sales
tools, education and practical business support to help
them grow their businesses. The program is open to all
integrators purchasing Bosch video products in the U.S.

ADI Global Distribution and
Mission 500, a nonprofit
charitable organization,
collaborated in January to
raise more than $93,000 to
support corporate social
responsibility across the security industry and help underprivileged children in communities across the United
States. This is the second year ADI teamed up with Mission 500, and the virtual event far exceeded the fundraising goal of $15,000, the company says.

Genetec recently
announced a new
version (v 5.10) of
Security Center, its
flagship unified security platform and video management software. Among many
enhancements, the release allows more system components
to run in the cloud, reducing the gap between cloud and
on-premises security systems, according to the company. It
also makes it easier for commercial/resimercial customers to
tap external data for use in dashboards, maps and investigations without relying on complex, specialized integrations.

The new
SecuriTEST
IP tester
from Ideal
Networks is
an all-inone CCTV security system tester that incorporates a 7-inch
high-resolution touchscreen. The company says the SecuriTEST IP tester quickly connects to any IP or analog camera
via RJ45, Wi-Fi and BNC options. It can power cameras via
PoE or 12-volt DC power using its internal Li-Ion battery.

Ring recently
announced its
smallest, most
affordable doorbell
yet, the Ring Video
Doorbell Wired.
The $59 homeowner-friendly smart doorbell incorporates some of the company's most frequently used features, including Advanced
Motion Detection, Customizable Motion Zones and Privacy
Zones. Ring says the product provides 1080p video with
night vision, two-way audio with noise cancellation.

At 21%,
security
cameras
continue to lead the way as
the most common smart home
product owned by U.S. consumers, according to research
group NPD. The latest study,
according to the firm, found
that half of U.S. consumers
own at least one smart home device, up from 35% in January
2020. After video cameras, security systems are the next
most popular at 19%, followed by smart plugs & outlets
(16%), security sensors (15%), thermostats (15%), doorbells
(13%) and light bulbs (12%).
