My Vision
Soaring in the First Half of 2024 with a Focus on Advanced Monitoring Solutions
| |
|
We’ve seen tremendous growth in the first half of 2024, and it’s all thanks to our unwavering focus on innovation and our dedication to serving the evolving needs of the professional monitoring industry. We’re committed to providing you with the most advanced and user-friendly monitoring solutions available.
We’ve been laser-focused on our core mission-critical automation monitoring platform, and it’s paying off. Our latest innovation, Presence Awareness, is a game-changer. It allows you to transform any camera or IoT device into an alarm sensor within designated “areas of interest.” This is one of the ways that makes DICE the perfect solution for today’s third party and full service central stations, as well as end user command centers.
The advancements don’t stop there. Our talented in-house development team is constantly pushing boundaries by incorporating more AI into our dynamic workflow engines. This not only reduces the need for human interaction within monitoring centers but also strengthens our commitment to AVS-01 public safety reporting through intelligent automation.
We’re also seeing a surge in product integrations thanks to our robust APIs (Application Programming Interface). Our open platform allows seamless connections with a wide range of vendors, including video, IoT, and AI providers. This collaborative approach gives integrators a unified and powerful integration installation for being monitored.
As one of the few open platforms in the market, DICE is paving the way for a more connected, efficient, and unified future for the security industry.
Everyone at DICE is passionate about the work we do. The rapid shift towards advanced technologies is an exciting challenge, and we’re perfectly positioned to lead the way. Our focus on innovation, combined with the limited competition in these areas, has generated significant interest in our solutions.
We believe we’re shaping the future of professional monitoring, and it’s incredibly rewarding to be at the forefront of this progress.
As Al Jolson used to say, "You ain’t seen nothing yet."

| |
|
Are your voice calls to keyholders going unanswered? In the last few years, wireless companies have had the calls appear as spam on caller ID. Without being able to cancel an alarm, this has caused serious problems, especially unneeded dispatches to PSAPs.

We remove the spam problem. We remove the identity problem. We remove the issue of people not answering your phone calls.

Cliff Dice Chosen as a 2024 Security Innovator Award Winner | |
|
Cliff DICE has been chosen as one of the 2024 security Innovator award winners by Securityinfowatch.com.
The honor is well deserved as Cliff has led the way in the new alarm industry with innovative technologies and patents.
He constantly pushes the boundaries of what is possible, and the multiple patents that the company has received are a testament to his commitment to innovation.
As a visionary, Cliff has predicted where the alarm industry will be going with technology and has been building the technology around those predictions and where we the alarm industry will be in two years, five years, 10 years, even in 15 years.
This is where he has brought DICE Corporation and has made it thrive. Instead of simply "listening" to customers and valuing their needs and suggestions, he also understands that true innovation often lies in uncovering latent desires and unmet expectations.
Cliff challenges the status quo, venturing beyond the familiar to develop products that address needs customers didn't know they had.
When it comes to “firsts” Cliff has been a leader. He was first to bring the industry a unified alarm software system with full accounting and the first to build a web portal into the automation system, in spite of the fact that the industry said no one would use the internet to access a security account.
As well, he was first to build a PBX into the automation system and the first to provide the call recording as part of the alarm history. He was also first to create contact ID alarm zones.
Take also for example, his pioneering work in interactive video. The new and patented features of this groundbreaking technology wasn't born from customer surveys. It emerged from his deep understanding of the industry, its limitations, and its future potential. He envisioned a need, a gap in the market, and dared to fill it with a solution that revolutionized the way security is approached.
One of his most groundbreaking innovations is the video arm and disarm feature. This feature allows users to arm and disarm their video security systems just like they would arm and disarm their alarm panels. This is a major step forward for the industry, and the possibilities are endless.
The Gatekeeper is a digital video alarm monitoring solution that prevents multiple and unnecessary video alarms from being received by the central station. This allows operators to focus on true alarms. By filtering out rampant video alarms and events not required by the central station, the Gatekeeper helps businesses save money. This is especially beneficial for cameras connected to cellular modems.
The Cybersecure Automated Network Management Tool is a game-changing technology that automates, streamlines, and manages on-site devices. It eliminates the complex, manual setup processes that plagued traditional systems by automatically mapping networks, registering devices (including cameras and alarms), and configuring them for secure VPN connections - all without the need for opening ports, punching firewall holes, or managing multiple tools.
There is much more that Cliff has brought to the industry in his 35 years. Cliff’s innovations are not just about staying ahead of the competition. They are also about making a real difference in the world of safety and security. His vision for the future, goes well beyond video, analytics, and artificial intelligence. It aims to revolutionize the entire monitoring ecosystem. He not only anticipates the needs of the industry, but translate them into groundbreaking solutions, and ultimately, empowers the industry to achieve security in ways they never imagined.
This is not just about receiving a patent. Cliff’s innovations and new technologies are opening new opportunities and new services that provide our industry growth.
Cliff Dice is an innovator who is shaping the future of the industry, and this is why he is being nominated for the Security Innovator Award.
