Volume 4 SkyBEAM is ideal for low-slope roofing and façade diagnostics on multi-building campuses such as educational institutions and healthcare facilities. It is being supported by the 200-plus Tremco Roofing sales representatives across the country, as well as more than 600 field technicians in Tremco’s WTI (Weatherproofing Technologies Inc.) subsidiary. Façade inspection ordinances have become increasingly common as cities such as New York, Chicago and numerous others seek to ensure public safety. “We are extremely pleased with the FAA’s support to help address this growing regulatory need,” said Sheehy. “SkyBEAM provides a dramatic leap forward, improving safety, efficiency and analysis. We look forward to working with the FAA, our industry partners and building owners to make further improvements to the façade inspection process.” Interactive reporting clearly shows the building’s condition SkyBEAM’s software consolidates infrared scans and HD video images into a comprehensive, interactive, easy-to-understand report that facility owners and managers, and technicians, access through a cloud-based application. The report clearly and accurately shows problem areas, helping decision makers determine their plan of action. A virtual model of the building is created in 2D and 3D and can be viewed from any angle. The model allows users to overlay thermal images to their exact location on the building. Photographs, comments and other data can be added in real time through a tablet, including when technicians are on site, to ensure that work can be verified and that the report always has the latest information. Data can also be transmitted down to those on the roof. Through geo-positioning, technicians can always see their exact location in relation to problem areas. As they walk across the roof, the scan moves with them so they can precisely locate where work needs to take place. From the success that SkyBEAM has seen in Canada, Sheehy believes that it will revolutionize the industry. “There is nothing like SkyBEAM, and we’re delighted to bring its many benefits to our customers in the U.S.,” he said. “It gives decision makers visual evidence of where their building is losing energy, especially from areas that were difficult to scan before. SkyBEAM will help them improve their facility maintenance planning and budgeting, is the safest way to conduct nighttime infrared scanning, and is a huge benefit to our field technicians and contractors who need to locate and repair rooftop and facade damage.” To learn more, visit www.tremcoroofing.com. May 2016 Edition Eagle Eye Bridge 304w for Wireless Cameras Integrated Wireless Access Point Minimizes Wireless Camera Security Vulnerability Eagle Eye Networks, launched the Eagle Eye Bridge 304w at ISC West in Las Vegas on Wednesday. The Eagle Eye Bridge 304w is a new on-premise bridge appliance that connects both wireless and wired cameras to the Eagle Eye Cloud Data Center, as part of the Eagle Eye Security Camera Video Management System (VMS). Simplified System Installation and Reduced Costs Wireless security cameras can greatly simplify surveillance system installation and reduce costs in situations where running cables is difficult. The wireless Eagle Eye Bridge 304w: • Supports up to 15 high definition IP cameras, of which 6 can be wireless. • Works with wireless and wired cameras from a range of manufacturers, including wireless cameras from Axis, Bosch, and Hikvision. • Provides a sleek look and a small footprint of only 5″ by 5″ by 1.75″; is fanless for high reliability and low noise. • Gives customers full access to the Eagle Eye Security Camera VMS. Encrypted Dedicated Wireless Access Point “Simplistic implementations of wireless camera support often use the customer’s existing wireless infrastructure. As a result shared devices, such as PCs, can also access those wireless cameras, making those systems vulnerable to compromise,” 29
