Industry Highlights from ISC West That Matter to You - ISC West 2025

🔍 Speco: Doing It Right for Integrators

Speco continues to shine as a company that gets the installer’s perspective. Their commitment to keeping products NDAA-compliant while offering cost-effective solutions is huge—especially for customers looking for rock-solid systems without breaking the bank.

This year, they unveiled some sleek new hybrid NVRs with AI capabilities, offering real-time person/vehicle detection, license plate capture, and built-in deterrents like flashing lights and audio alerts. Best part? Still simple to set up and support.

🔗 ADI & SnapAV Merger: A Distribution Shakeup

One of the biggest shifts came not from a manufacturer, but a merger—ADI and SnapAV joining forces. For pros like us, that’s a big deal. These two were already major players in the distribution space, and now they’re aiming to combine logistics power with premium product lines like Luma, WattBox, and Control4.

What does that mean for our customers? Better supply chains, faster access to high-end gear, and deeper integration between audio/video, automation, and security. This could redefine how we design whole-home and commercial systems.

🛡 Verkada: The Rise of Cloud-Native Security

Love them or hate them, Verkada made a major statement this year. Their all-in-one, cloud-managed platform keeps growing—adding sensors, access control, and more—all managed from a single dashboard.

While it’s not the most affordable option, Verkada is making waves in education, healthcare, and multi-site business applications. For customers needing enterprise-level control with plug-and-play simplicity, they’re worth watching.

🚫 No Hikvision: A Telling Sign

One absence spoke volumes: Hikvision was absent from the show. With growing concerns over NDAA compliance and federal restrictions, many integrators—us included—are pivoting away from these brands.

We’re committed to offering future-proof, secure solutions that are aligned with U.S. regulations. This shift validates the direction we’ve been moving in for some time.
