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.
Keeping Track of Inventory
Sagebrush Corp. has recently announced that
its popular In-Hand 3.3 product, a handheld computer
solution for libraries, has been upgraded to allow users to simplify
inventory, remote circulation,
and in-house tracking. In-Hand 3.3 also enables libraries to
scan thousands of barcodes right
at the shelves, and then, with the touch of a button, synchronize
the data into their library management
system. Price is $1,395 for software and
hardware. www.sagebrushcorp.com.
