Eagle Eye Networks, Inc. “First Responder Real-time Video Access” allows predesignated first responders to receive immediate, real-time security camera access during emergency situations. The cameras are shared only when an authorized user activates first responder access. Immediate situational awareness can be crucial when there are intruders, a fire, or other situations.

The insights that first responders gain from the clear, deep visibility can directly impact their actions-from necessary evacuations to the specific protective measures they might take. Following setup, the video streams will continue to be private-only accessible by the organization-until authorized personnel activate the video access. As a safeguard to avoid accidentally sending emails, the user will also click on an “Are you sure you want to activate?” notice to confirm. www.eagleeyenetworks.com, 512-473-0500

Brass Knuckle® SmartCut™ BKCR3520 ANSI Cut Level 3 glove combines medium-level cut protection with abrasion and slip resistance. The 3520 also delivers a high level of dexterity. Its slip-resistant foam nitrile palm coat provides a secure grip, and its reinforced thumb crotch provides abrasion resistance in the glove’s most critical wear area-between the thumb and forefinger. The glove has a seamless shell made of 15-gauge, high-performance polyethylene (HDPE) composite yarn, delivering ANSI cut level 3 protection that’s as flexible and versatile as a general-purpose work glove.

The durable nitrile coating on the palm and fingers channels oil away from the surface, providing excellent slip resistance. The 3520 features reinforcement in the thumb crotch, an area prone to significant wear and tear. Heavy abrasion can eventually wear down the glove’s coating, meaning the glove is no longer safe to wear. For applications such as construction, electrical and general assembly, glass handling, HVAC, manufacturing, parts cleaning, vehicular construction, receiving, and sheet metal handling, the 3520 is a suitable choice. www.brassknuckleprotection.com 770-674-8930
