Inspector Gadget

More and more schools are purchasing new solutions to keep the campus vandals away, and Toshiba is right out front with IK-WR01A, an IP-addressable, vandal-resistant, network “dome” camera with an IP66 rating for dust and water resistance. The dome is great for security-sensitive areas around college and university campuses—indoors and outdoors. Via a standard browser, a PC or other Internet-ready device can be used to remotely monitor the camera or cameras, say company spokespeople. Price: $749. www.cctv.toshiba.com.

No More ‘Away’ Messages

Now voicemail users can stay connected and manage their voicemail messages while on the go. AVST, an enterprise communications solutions provider, has just released CallXpress 7.7, a unified communications solution. CallXpress allows the user to send and receive voice and text messages of all types—from anywhere—via electronic devices such as desktops, laptops, cell phones, PDAs, handhelds, and other mobile devices. What’s more, the system can work without being interrupted by incoming phone calls, yet users can be notified of important messages. The Interactive Voice Response (IVR) technology allows users to read or fax information, on demand—even while dialing in from the road. (No more waiting to get back to the office to send those faxes!) Pricing is dependent on the size and mix of applications (with options for number of voice ports, number of unified messaging users, networking options, fax applications, and IVR applications). www.avstgroup.com.
