Security Industry Startups To Watch?
I haven't kept up to date with startups and I know John keeps his eyes open for any worthwhile ones. Thanks for the feedback!
[Updated September 7th with 5 new startups added at the bottom.]
Good question. I think it's worth putting together a list. Here's some that I can think of, off the top of mind (listed alpahbetically).
- Ampleye - Super megapixel cameras
- Dropcam - Hosted cameras
- ISD - HD cameras / edge storage
- HIVE - security camera / social network
- Network Optix - VMS / video manipulation
- PRSIM Skylabs - Retail analytics
- Vigilus - Security Robot
Share others and I will add to this list. Try to limit to companies launched in 2010 or later and please share a few words about what it does.
My name is Brian Krause, I'm the Sales Director for another startup that may be of interest. My company, ELERTS has developed mobile/cloud software that lets you better manage your camera network by knowing 'where to look' when an employee indicates something is happening via their smartphone. We work with many of the industry-leading VMS providers, and can provide every security team with an innovative way to improve their security plan and better leverage their infrastructure investments.
Hey look! A vending machine that cuts mechanical keys! Gather your children to watch the spectacle.
In other news: security innovation is stale?
Innovation in the security industry seems to lag behind many other industries. This is a pretty weak list of startups I must admit. I was hoping to learn of more new and exciting companies. I was going to list IPVM as a startup but it started before 2010 :(
Michael, check out Lockitron - maybe the most interesting startup in access control (and the only one).
Here's one to add to the list - a tech startup that wants to crush 'caveman' alarm companies.
Whatever happened to that company that was going to revolutionize people detection via microwave through walls. They linked together wirelesslly and plugged into wall outlets. I don't remember the name offhand.
