VMS Vendors Invited To Video Storage Technology Roundtable At ISC West

As part of this year’s ISC West expo, BDT Products will host a separate technology roundtable for VMS software manufacturers. This technology roundtable will discuss viable video surveillance storage techniques and how VMS software vendors could enable the utilization of time-tested storage technologies. An industry that mimics the video surveillance market, Hollywood’s Media and Entertainment industry, has been using these types of video storage technologies for over a decade. Unfortunately, the video surveillance industry seems intent on learning things the hard way and has yet to embrace such long-term, viable, low-cost, storage platforms. BDT invites VMS software vendors to join them at ISC West, Las Vegas, NV, April 5, at 3:00pm. Contact Douglas Bass at Douglas_Bass@bdtp.com to reserve a seat at the meeting.
