Live From PSA TEC 2022: PSA Execs Talk Show, Provide Industry Insights

PSA’s annual conference, now known as TEC, features a unique combination of outstanding education and unrivaled networking among leaders from the industry’s top security systems integration companies, all in a very relaxed, friendly and professional environment.

This year’s installment, held as usual in Denver, this time at the Downtown Sheridan Hotel, was all the more meaningful as everyone continues to rebound from the pandemic.

An estimated 500 participants convened for the 2022 edition, staged as an in-person event May 16-19 as a companion to a virtual edition held the following week. The live education program delivered sessions focusing on leadership and next-generation talent, while the virtual sessions centered on professional development across a variety of job functions including sales, marketing, IT networking, operations, procurement and technology partner relations, technicians and project managers.

Among the new wrinkles for the live version was TecTalk Tables, which matched vendors with integrators for direct conversations. Both factions were said to be enjoyable and very productive.

Easily the biggest topic of conversation among everyone was the supply chain crisis and its enormous impacts on business and operations. Also prompting deep discussions was talent recruitment and on the technology front, Cloud, artificial intelligence and cybersecurity.

It was also announced that for one of the only times in its more than 40-year history, next year’s event will take place in Dallas. Apparently, PSA needs a larger space to accommodate this valuable event.

To share with you what transpired at PSA TEC 2022 Live, what’s new with the organization and provide some general industry perspective, SSI Editor-in-Chief Scott Goldfine caught up with PSA CEO Matt Barnette and President Ric McCullough.

For more insights, he also sat down with past PSA Board of Directors Chairman Dan Budinoff of Security Specialists. To hear what they had to say, watch or listen to this special onsite edition of SSI’s Security Speaking below.

Top 10 Security Stories From October 2021: China Ban Gains Steam, Vivint Countersues ADT

October saw its fair share of legal issues and acquisitions. This month, lawsuits involved home security companies, a gunshot detection provider and even a media company. Vivint Smart Home is seeking retribution for the lawsuit ADT filed against it last year that alleged Vivint salespeople go to ADT customers’ homes, get them to sign Vivint contracts and install the company’s alarm systems in their homes under false pretenses. Vivint had requested a motion to have that lawsuit dismissed, but when the judge denied the motion, Vivint launched a countersuit claiming it is in fact ADT that is deceiving and stealing its customers. Gunshot detection provider ShotSpotter filed a lawsuit against media company Vice, alleging it is profiting off of fabricated claims. Vice has been critical about ShotSpotter’s technology in a multitude of articles. Though not a lawsuit, Dahua and Hikvision continue to feel pressure from the U.S. government as it considers a new measure that would make it imp

Minnesota AG Calls for Cancellation of Home Security Contracts for Alleged Fraud

STEARNS COUNTY, Minn. — Bring Me the News reports that Minnesota’s Attorney General, Keith Ellison, says he’s gotten consumers in Stearns County out of home security contracts after they were misled by a door-to-door salesman. According to the report, Ellison’s office announced that home security companies Skyline Security Management and Safe Home Security have agreed to their cancel contracts with customers in and around Stearns County who purchased their systems from door-to-door salesman Gary Harvey. “Door-to-door salesmen and their employers are in the business of trust-building,” Ellison said in a statement. “They know they need to have your trust to sell you their products, particularly expensive products like security systems that are supposed to keep your home safe. When that trust is betrayed, it’s emotionally and financially painful. I appreciate Skyline and Safe Home taking the right step in canceling these contracts while my office does what we can under the law to hold M
