Intrusion Detection

Master Video · 06/03/2021 ·

First Intrusion Detection 1969 Patent

• DYK - The First Intrusion Detection audio-video security system was patented in 1969 by Marie Van Brittan Brown, a New York Nurse, who lived in a high crime neighborhood.

Why Intrusion Detection?

Did You Know; The story of the first Intrusion Detection audio-video security system was patented in 1969 by Marie Van Brittan Brown, a New York Nurse, who lived in a high crime neighborhood in Jamacia Queens. With the support of her Electronics Technician Husband, Albert L. Brown, together they invented the first television audio-visual security system.

That original Intrusion Detection system was the pioneer of all advanced home and business security system technology used today.

The Browns’ invention was pure innovation, drawing on existing closed-circuit TV technology that was already in use by the military in 1942, for rocket observation from a safe distance.

1969 Intrusion Detection Patent

Today’s Cloud-Based Intrusion Detection System (IDS) technology are used in most businesses and commercial facilities. Intrusion Detection Systems consist of many different devices including audio-video surveillance, keypad access control, door contacts, glass break sensors, motion detectors, sirens, strobes, and much more. Unauthorized intruders can be quickly detected when attempting to enter a secured area, with audible or visual alarms, and alert notifications to Security Monitoring Stations or Law Enforcement.

Displays & Mounting

Master Video · 05/20/2021 ·

The First TV Display Mounting System

• DYK - The First Commercial TV Displays and Mounting Systems were developed in the early 1950s to accommodate large, heavy, and bulky Cathode-Ray Tube Televisions.

Why Displays & Mounting?

Did You Know; The First Commercial Television Display Mounts were launched in the USA at the beginning of the 1950s. The early Cathode-Ray Tube (CRT) televisions of the time were heavy and bulky, so the first TV lifts and brackets required a large amount of space for installation.

Master Video Systems was at the forefront of early TV technology, with some of the very first Color CRT Commercial Display Installations in America.

By the 1970s, televisions became lighter which allowed the use of ceiling and wall-mounted brackets. Around the year 2000, Flat Panel Displays entered the scene, making custom mounting solutions feasible.

MVS First Color Television

Today, with ever-changing technology and lighter and flatter LED screens, display mounting systems can now be configured to almost any size and specification, from single TVs to multi-screen displays, Video Boards, Digital Signage, and more.

Enhance the Patient/Guest Viewing Experience to Differentiate Services and Improve Satisfaction Ratings.

Consumer TVs vs. Commercial Displays

Consumer Televisions and Commercial Display Screens may look the same, but they serve different functions. Consumer televisions are considered a complete system, with standard components like a tuner and speakers. Whereas, a Commercial Display may not use a tuner or speakers, such as in Digital Signage applications.

The quality of the components and build of Commercial Displays needs to be significantly greater than standard Consumer TVs, due to hours of operation and operating environments. Commercial Displays also have ‘Anti-Burn Technology to avoid ‘Screen Burn’ issues that Consumer TVs experience when running up to 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Consumer TVs

• Limited warranties that can be voided if used Commercially.

• Not compatible with Content Management Systems (CMS).

• No Digital Rights Management (DRM) encryption protection.

• No ability to lock-out viewers from altering the TV settings.

Commercial TVs

• Warranty includes coverage in Commercial environments.

• Compatible with CMS solutions and centralized management.

• DRM technology ensures secure content everywhere.

• Lockable settings prevent menu and volume tampering.

Master Video is highly experienced in installing television displays and mounting systems to meet the exact design requirements of each facility, both inside and out, for a safe, secure user experience.

• Commercial TVs: Ultra HD LED TVs & Smart Digital Signage TVs.
• Digital Signage: LED-Backlit, Stretched & Touch Screen Displays.

Master Video Triple Play 1953

• DYK - The First Master Video Brochure was in 1953 and featured the all-new “Triple Play,” in conjunction with CBS, with Television, Radio, and Background Music/PA System.

Why Master Video Triple Play?

Did You Know; The first Master Video Systems (MVS) brochure in 1953, featured the all-new “Triple Play,” in conjunction with CBS, with a television/radio in-room system for the hotel industry. MVS Triple Play included a giant 21” B&W TV-Picture, an AM-FM Radio, and Background Music with a Public Address system, all contained in one single cabinet, with one simple control.

Intercom Systems

Master Video · 04/29/2021 ·

First Intercom System

• DYK - The First Corporate Intercom System was the “Boss-to-Secretary” intercom in 1937 by Executone, Inc., who became a leading intercom provider by the 1950s.

Why Intercom Systems?

Did You Know; Since the beginning of mankind, people have always needed to communicate over distances, from smoke signals to the telephone, to Internet email, “external” communication is ever-evolving. Communication over smaller distances within a facility is considered “internal communication", which is where the term “Intercom” is derived.

The person credited with inventing the intercom system was Allan Bernstein, an electronics engineer, and founder of Adams Laboratories, the manufacturing arm of what later became Executone Inc.

Master Video Executone Intercom 1937

Early in his career, Berstein invented one of the first intercom systems, the “Boss-to-Secretary” system in 1937, followed by the “Patient-to-Nurse” call station for Hospitals.

Data Analytics

Master Video · 04/22/2021 ·

First Data Analytics by American Industrialists

• DYK - The First use of Data Analytics was by American industrialists at the turn of the 20th Century, like Henry Ford, who revolutionized manufacturing with the assembly line.

Why Data Analytics?

Did You Know; The story of Data Analytics was born among the American industrialists of the late 1800s and early 20th Century. From Frederick Winslow Taylor in 1898, who conducted a time management analysis to improve efficiency at Pennsylvania’s Bethlehem Steel, to Henry Ford, who studied and measured the pacing of the processes down the Model T assembly line, reducing the time to build a car from over 12 hours to just 90 minutes in 1913.

Fast forward to the late 1960s, when Data Analytics became more mainstream when computers were first used as decision-making aids in business. Since then, Data Analytics has grown rapidly as a result of the innovation of Big Data, Data Warehouses, the Cloud, and a range of software and hardware tools. The research, discovery, and identification of trends in data are all part of data analytics.

Big Data is the New Economy...
The Future of Technology is Data Analytics.

Today, Data Analytics is an important tool for gaining business insights and providing custom-tailored experiences in IPTV, Digital Signage, and Electronic Security systems:
