We had the privilege of having Jeff and Dallan come to our store to talk about the genesis of PDK, pdkio, and PDK’s sales philosophy when it comes to integration and it’s customers.

In this episode you meet the men behind the product. We learned that PDK care very much for it’s dealer base (installers, end-users, and distribution). We discuss the power and expand-ability of the product.

DON’T be INTIMIDATED by the PDK Cloud Access Control platform! They answer questions with regards to redundancies. Most importantly? They address simplicity of the product (installation, and use) and mobile applications.

This product is Manufactured IN the USA. No Tariff games. No availability issues, and most importantly, it’s supported in the US.

In this episode we talk about Arlenco CONNECT and Arlenco ORBIT. We also talk about a brand that we had omitted from the original Arm Yourself brands, PDK or ProDataKey Cloud Access Control Systems.

A basic overview of Arlenco CONNECT and how it utilizes inbound marketing to stoke business for our customers, and outbound marketing (as an “insanely great product”) for our customers. We talk a little about “The Law of Reciprocity” in sales and marketing and the ways CONNECT brings business to our customers. This includes brief talk about #8000hits, the hash-tag.

Also, a basic overview of Arlenco ORBIT and a few of the ways it can be used to change the game for your equipment purchasing. Our intention is to make purchasing the best brands, simple and quick.

Don’t miss our interview with Jeff Perry, COO, and one of the original founders of PDK, in 2 weeks.

In this episode, we cover the price increases everybody is confronted with when they call to order “that panel they’ve been installing for years.” Why has the pricing increased so dramatically? Why is it so difficult to get “that panel they’ve been installing for years.”

Digital phones have affected alarm transmission – addressed here. POTTER Fire Alarm Systems are doing an excellent job at keeping pricing down. NAPCO is doing a great job at getting their products to us. Hyperline cabling is being received well by people (and is readily available). We talk about ZKTeco and how they’re doing a great job to keep pricing down with their revolutionary new Access Control Platform.

All manufacturers who are a part of the Arm Yourself movement have agreed to provide trainings, product support, and pricing support for their own products.

Digital Video has completely changed within the last 25 years. In today’s episode Cameron discusses the nature of video surveillance, the primary differences between old video storage solutions, and today’s video storage solutions. HOW, for example, does UNV specify 1000 foot runs between video sources on an IP Video installation?

This episode provides a basic breakdown of Video storage and network bandwidth for IP Video surveillance.

IP Cameras are far more ‘hardware-efficient’ than the systems of old.

This episode focuses on UNV’s superior ‘Ultra H.265’ compression technology. Why is it better than anything out there? How will it affect my surveillance and the design of the network topography for my system?

We’ve been away for a while, but trust us, it’ll be worth it! We’ve been busy developing ORBIT v.4. You may have noticed that we added some features to the site, but most of what we’ve been up to lives under the hood.

In this episode, Cameron covers three of the new features built in to ORBIT. We explain how ORBIT came-to-be, the genesis of the platform’s title, and a couple of awesome features built in to ORBIT to make shopping at Arlenco easy!

A sidebar, Add-On kits, and the ability to browse kits to add individual items to your cart from ANY location in orbit (including existing Arlenco Invoices).

This is all discussed on this episode.

Stay Tuned, MORE TO COME! We’re VERY excited about this new platform.

The two challenges we’re addressing relate to the Fire Alarm industry, and the Commercial Burg industries. In this episode we’ll talk a little about how other manufacturers have struggled getting products to us. We’ll also talk about price increases from some of the more prominent manufacturers in our industry.

Show Sponsors:

Today’s show is brought to you by UNV Cameras, Better Security, Better World. Cameras that simplify installation, save bandwidth, and use less storage.

It’s also brought to you by Klein Tools, tools that tradesmen and professionals prefer.

The Napco Firewolf is one of my favorite options for Commercial fire, AND commercial Security. Let me explain.

The Firewolf is a UL Listed 24 VDC Addressable Fire Alarm System. When purchased in a kit (CLICK HERE), the system comes WITH a remote annunciator. It’s addressable circuits are designed to be used with Hochiki detectors (provided by Napco) AND it has a massive 6AMPS of onboard 24VDC NAC power. It supports sync protocols for the 4 big brands (2 of which are Arm Yourself brands: Cooper Wheelock, and Gentex). Oh, and did we mention it’s UL Listed Wireless detection capabilities?

It’ comes in a very robust cabnet with PLENTY of battery storage. Electronics are mounted to sturdy rails, and the system can be programmed (2 way) over the proper cellular communicator).

This thing is sweet.

Now, if you need a dual purpose system, add the GEMC burg module to the system to get INDEPENDENTLY powered burg. Not only is it a burg system, it’s capable of wireless burg, and ADDRESSABLE burg, and of course, conventional burg. Add automation to this with a simple module (or the right communicator), and you get zwave integration.

You may be thinking: this system can’t possibly be a high quality system. It is! It’s been around and used in the field for a very long time.

The cherry on top is the ability to 2-way program these systems with Napco’s Starlink communicators. We’ll be doing a future episode on those, but suffice-it-to-say, the offering is very powerful.

We could go on for a long time talking about this system’s capabilities but we won’t waste your time with it.

Our Napco sales reps are very good, and they’re eager to train you on these systems. Reach out to us to setup a training with your local Napco sales rep at armyourself@arlenco.com .
