prehensive, multi-sensor solution in Graydient with a number of
broad-based applications across a number of business lines,”
said Giant Gray President and CEO Steve S. Sulgrove. “We
thought our next-generation approach to our products beyond
BRS Labs deserved the energy and excitement of a new name,
as well as a new strategic direction moving our company forward into the next decade of product innovation.”
The Graydient platform is designed for the big data and “Internet of Things” vision, supporting businesses and government
agencies of all sizes across a range of industries. Graydient
helps reduce costs and simplify usage and maintenance by
teaching itself from observing data – and it excels at detecting the unexpected and providing improved context across an
enterprise by correlating various, disconnected data sources
often siloed within business lines. When anomalous activity
occurs, Graydient issues an alert, providing real-time insights
that allow customers to make operational adjustments before
the early-warning signals grow into true incidents that impact
safety, security and business operations.

Littleton Relies on 3xLOGIC to Improve
School Safety
Colorado school district continues to roll out cameras and hybrid NVRs en
route to comprehensive PSIM system
Scalable and easily integrated into and compatible with current
monitoring systems, Graydient addresses limitations of existing
machine learning analytics and monitoring technologies without requiring predefined rules, models, custom programming
or data analytics expertise. Graydient also stands apart from
traditional machine learning analytics with its artificial cognitive neurolinguistics approach, meaning it creates a custom
language to describe the data from scratch and is not limited
to primitive, baseline behavior models from the start. This patented approach to identifying the subtle, unpredictable and
often-overlooked blips in the data stream that serve as early
indicators to potential incidents, is the Giant Gray difference.
“We are confident that the new Giant Gray brand will be a powerful, enduring brand indicative of the forward-thinking, nextgeneration products of our company,” Mr. Sulgrove said.

Littleton Public Schools (LPS) in Colorado, continue to roll out
new cameras and 3xLOGIC hybrid NVRs as they move toward
their ambitious goal of creating a district-wide, comprehensive
Physical Security Information Management (PSIM) system.
Upon completion, the new system will oversee and coordinate
security for approximately 15,000 students and staff at LPS’
28 school and administrative buildings.
“Our overall goal is pretty simple,” said Guy Grace, LPS Director of Security & Emergency Preparedness, “we must have
quality technology delivering quality results, because we cannot have a successful educational experience without safety
and security taken care of, and taken care of well.”
In late 2012, Guy Grace came to an important conclusion,
“I was so frustrated with our DVRs that we’d been installing
since the last bond issue approval. At first, they were meeting
our needs, they could handle the PTZ cameras and motion
detection, but over time the supplier started eliminating basic
functions we needed. It was making our jobs harder than they
needed to be.”
Around this time, Grace was introduced to 3xLOGIC at a
tradeshow. “I fo und out the company was local and was doing
real good things. I decided to learn more.” A few months later,
LPS had another bond referendum. “We selected 3xLOGIC as
a vendor for that bond issue, and in early 2013, we began purchasing NVRs and cameras. What I really liked was the hybrid
NVR allowed me to incorporate existing analog cameras and
add new IP cameras whenever I wanted. This is a life saver,
because I can eliminate older tech and migrate to IP at my
pace. This also allows us to have compatibility across all our
schools, and that’s crucial.”
In December 2013, LPS suffered a fatal shooting at their
Arapahoe High School. “The shooting caused us to expedite
everthing and 3xLOGIC responded well to our sped-up time-
