Event: ISC East 2026
Dates: November 3-5, 2026
Location: Javits Center, 655 West 34th Street, New York
Host: RX, in collaboration with SIA and ASIS NYC
ISC East is the Northeast’s big security trade show, the smaller East Coast sibling of ISC West in Las Vegas. It covers video surveillance, access control, alarm communications, locks and the software that ties them together. The organizer cites more than 6,100 security professionals, over 200 exhibiting brands and visitors from 80+ countries.
The schedule is split. SIA Education@ISC runs all three days, starting Tuesday, November 3, while the exhibit hall opens only on November 4 and 5. So if you’re coming for the floor, Wednesday and Thursday are the days that count. Tuesday is for sessions and the OSDP Boot Camp.
What to see
NAPCO Security Technologies (Booth 903, opposite the main entrance) is bringing its access control line built around MVP Access, which now adds biometric and multifactor authentication and more video management integrations. There’s also MVP EZ, a cheaper mobile-first cloud version for small sites that can move up to MVP Access without swapping hardware or databases, plus NA-Series cloud-ready panels and a Marks USA interconnected deadbolt preconfigured for MVP. On the alarm side, NAPCO is showing StarLink Connect MAX tri-carrier communicators, which run on Verizon, AT&T and T-Mobile and work with any alarm panel. The number behind all this: NAPCO says StarLink’s annual recurring communication revenue now tops $100 million, from an installed base of more than one million communicators. MVP is sold as a flat monthly fee per door. That’s the business NAPCO wants dealers to see.
Allegion US (Booth 601) is showing the Schlage XE360 wireless lock with RealSync, which switches between offline Bluetooth and real-time Wi-Fi management. It’s also bringing Schlage mobile credentials for Apple Wallet and Google Wallet, the Zentra multifamily access platform with RealPage and Yardi integrations, and LCN and Falcon automatic door operators.
Synology (Booth 315) has its Deep Video Analytics cameras, Surveillance Station and the cloud-based Surveillance365, the HD6500 high-capacity storage unit, and previews of upcoming cameras and access control products.
Luminys (Booth 207), the Irvine-based subsidiary of Foxlink, is demoing AI video cameras, its LumiCloud and LumiCenter video management options and a facial recognition access terminal. Smaller names are worth a stop too. Video Wall Live (Booth 1113) turns a TV into a multi-camera monitor for Ring cameras, with no NVR on site.
Why go
The show is built for integrators, alarm dealers, installers and the security directors who buy from them. The common thread this year is subscription: cloud video, per-door access fees, cellular monitoring. If you sell or run security systems in the Northeast, it’s two days to see where your margins are heading. One catch for vendors: non-exhibiting manufacturers and distributors pay a $1,095 registration fee.
