Security Sales & Integration’s Top 30 Technology Innovations of 2015

Everfocus Camera Utility Tool

My annual product picks would not be complete without at least one great piece of test equipment. I strongly believe that one of the key ingredients that makes a good technician is having and using quality test equipment. Anything less is definitely an arena for amateurs. This year, I have selected the new ESK 1000 from EverFocus. Nicknamed the Sidekick, this field support device allows a technician to view IP camera video through iOS or Android mobile devices. The supporting mobile application is called EF Sidekick. It is a PoE and DC power supply equipped with high capacity lithium batteries. It also features a Wi-Fi router with a built-in DHCP server. The Sidekick supports all brands of IP cameras and comes in a durable, easy-to-carry compact case. — Dolph
