August 30, 2011 by Nathan Miloszewski

Even a short list of organizational benefits from Unified Communications (UC) is impressive:

Real-time collaboration
Integrated productivity tools
Cost-effective, secure communication from anywhere

The new Grandstream GXP1100 and GXP1105 entry level HD IP phones are being offered with a list price of $49 and $55, respectively.

Billed for small to medium businesses (SMB), lobbies, and hospitality applications the GXP1100 and GXP1105 series is only entry level for the features they don’t have but offer high performance in the features they do have.

There’s only one main difference between the two phones. The GXP1105 includes POE functionality, thus the slightly higher price tag. Other than that, with a single SIP account, both phones offer:

Up to 2 calls.
4 programmable keys.
7 dedicated functions keys.
Clear, HD audio with support for wideband audio.
Automated provisioning using TR-069 or AES encrypted XML configuration file, SRTP and TLS for advanced security protection, 802.1x for media access control.

The Art of Stasi Surveillance

August 18, 2011 by Nathan Miloszewski

No, these aren’t images of ironically dressed hipsters culled from the pages of an Urban Outfitters catalog but rather the uncovered surveillance archives of the East German secret police, the Stasi.

Photographer Simon Menner’s dicovery and display of this archive is not meant to be humourous, it’s a reminder to the viewer of the overbearing nature of government agencies as Menner remarked to Reuters reporter Sarah Marsh:

“These were used during courses on how to dress up and blend into society,” the 33 year-old artist said. “They seem pretty absurd now, but it was meant seriously — this is evil stuff.”

Other photos revealed that Polaroids were used to document how an apartment was arranged before a search took place so that objects could be returned as found; leaving no trace that your privacy had been completely violated.

This display is meant to be a lasting reminder that the “art of disguise” has obviously advanced and will continually remain a part of our lives. Whether we know it or not.

Sony IP Camera Debuts for Radiology Market

August 17, 2011 by Nathan Miloszewski

Strapping an indoor dome IP camera to a IV stand and calling it a medical device for radiologists only works if you’re Sony.

It’s also not just any old IP camera or portable stand. Sony is using its SNC-RH124 dual streaming, HD, 360 degree rapid dome IP camera that incorporates state-of-the-art image-enhancement technologies in a compact body including 10x zoom that allow users to capture clear and bright images in challenging environments.

MD2GO Rolling Medical Stand

Coupled with the SNC-RH124 is Sony’s MD2GO rolling stand specifically designed for medical applications that forms a remote HD IP camera system.

The Sony MD2GO system has just been introduced to the radiology field at the Annual Meeting of the Association for Medical Imaging Management (AHRA) this week:

“The system is designed to enable HD Video communication between remote parties including multiple radiologists, radiologists and referring physicians, or even with radiologists and their patients. By simply using a PC and Microsoft Internet Explorer®, the radiologist can view the other party in HD video and have a two-way audio conversation from virtually anywhere at any time.”

New World of Applications

It’s intertesting to note that we’ve billed this Sony IP camera as capable of opening up a “whole new world of video security applications” for it’s great picture quality, wide monitoring area, and responsive pan and tilt functions. Now, it’s been opened up to the medical world.

So if it feels like you’re being spied on the next time you have a procedure done, maybe you are, and that’s fine by me. Sony claims the MD2GO has already been successful in surgery applications. It’s great to see IP cameras aiding the advancement of medical science with effective involvement of remote expert physicians, helping to teach next generation med students, or post-procedure patient monitoring.
