Came back from ASIS today and found that the stock had risen. Good!
Was very impressed with the show as a whole and was just getting ready to write about the product we saw and Super Circuits, but Dan already beat me to it.
It was great meeting CEO George Bernardich and COO Mike Ambler. This was the last day of the three day show and everyone was a little tired. Bernardich and Ambler were both very excited about the contacts they had made at the convention and the exposure for SEVU. As Dan stated this was the whose who of security.
Adding to what Dan said, as far as the parking lot system goes the voltage change between diferent commercial systems is as easy as changing a small piece in the powerbox. Real world applications at the Wal-Mart have been good. Target has even found new uses for the product beyond what it was developed for and is testing their idea. That is the neat thing about such a good product people keep finding good uses for it and can adapt because it is cheap and easy to do.
I had some concerns about camera quality after reading some of Francis' comments, but I was amazed at the clarity of the secureview camera. I did not read anything up close like Dan did or worry about seeing in the dark. Thats been mentioned before. What impressed me was the clarity at distance that easily rivals the security cameras I have seen out here in the real world. MORE than adequate for parking lot security!
Money flow is a concern right now of course and some projects are on the back burner for that reason. As I understand it, the commercial applications are a big push now as it is to get the home units made in larger bulk and less expensive to help those sales. (Supercircuits guy said the home secureview camera was a very popular item.) The potential is great on many different fronts and as you know the company is small so it is a lot on their plate.
Most of what I have heard was very exciting. Ambler and Bernardich were great hosts and the backdrop for the booth showed many of the products fot the people dropping by. The working units there helped get the point across and the picture was as good as the wired cameras that were all over the place.
I have no great business expertise and do not know enough about the PP to ask any intelligent questions. As a person who observes all different kinds of people on the street and has been trained to observe body language, I am relieved to find that our CEO and COO are seemingly honest, caring people with a drive to succeed and that SEVU forward. The next few months do not excite me that much. There is a lot of stuff going on that will most likely not show immeadiate results. Six months from now ought to be different. I'll be here.
