The Security Industry Association (SIA) has announced the 2022 winners of the SIA New Products and Solutions (NPS) Awards, the flagship awards program presented in partnership with ISC West recognizing innovative security products, services and solutions. Top among the winners, who were recognised during an award ceremony on the ISC West show floor, was Allegion – LCN, receiving the 2022 Best New Product Award.
Since its inception in 1979, the SIA NPS Awards have been the security industry’s premier product awards program. New products are reviewed by a panel of judges with extensive industry experience and in 2022, following significant deliberations, the 30 judges presented awards for technologies covering 25 product and service categories.
Allegion – LCN received the Best New Product honour for its LCN 6400 COMPACT Series Operators product, submitted in the Access Control Software, Hardwire, Devices & Peripherals – Wired category.
“The LCN 6400 COMPACT Series low energy automatic operator helps your facility meet basic needs related to accessibility and touchless access on interior openings,” said Allegion – LCN. “Whether you are upgrading a single opening, renovating a portion of your building or constructing a new facility, the COMPACT series enables a healthy, accessible environment.”
The prestigious Judges’ Choice Award was presented to Hakimo for the Hakimo Alarm Monitoring 2.0 product, submitted in the Commercial Monitoring Solutions category.
“Hakimo Alarm Monitoring 2.0 uses AI to solve the top two problems faced by monitoring stations and SOCs: access control false alarms and tailgating detection,” said Hakimo. “Hakimo reduces false alarms by 80%+, has the best tailgating detector in the industry with <1% false positives and provides an integrated commercial monitoring solution.”
“The SIA NPS Awards program had an exceptional pool of entrants for 2022 and the judges were excited to see such an impressive array of ideas and technologies represented this year,” said Christopher Grniet, Chair of the SIA NPS Committee. “Following hours of panel-driven judging and technology demonstrations, we were proud to arrive at the final award determinations and congratulate the 2022 awardees. Thank you to our expert judges for your dedication and for volunteering your valuable time and knowledge toward making the 2022 SIA NPS a success.”
