Wavestore’s US Sales Team on Security  Innovation and Integration with Salto Jeff Wood, Vice President of Sales, Wavestore: The Salto Partner Summit is an important platform for fostering collaboration and sharing insights on the future of security technology. As a Sponsor, Wavestore is committed to building solutions that bring seamless interoperability between access control and video management systems. Our integration with Salto Space allows security teams to automate the display and retrieval of access control data with real-time video footage, enabling faster response times, improved situational awareness, and better overall security management. Wavestore’s open-platform VMS is designed for seamless, real-time security integrations without the complexity of traditional SDK-based approaches. Many systems rely on multiple third-party platforms to connect access control with video, leading to delays and extra costs. Wavestore integrates directly with Salto Space, capturing events instantly and giving security teams immediate visibility instead of waiting for slow SDK-driven communication. Deployment is fast, simple, and significantly more cost-effective without the need for extra licensing fees. Best of all, it works with your existing cameras. We’re excited to showcase this powerful integration at the event and connect with partners looking for smarter, more efficient security solutions. > More Real-Time Security Made Simple: Wavestore & Salto Integration To learn more, visit our Salto integration page.

Jeff Wood
VP of Sales North America
Wavestore

Throughout my career, I’ve been driven by a desire to find security solutions that don’t just secure environments but also transform operations. My experience at SALTO Systems was foundational: as National Manager, I worked on complex OEM and integration partnerships across North America. This role gave me a real appreciation for how critical seamless integration is, particularly for large-scale projects that require interoperability between various security systems. During my time at SALTO, I encountered Wavestore as a technical integration partner and was struck by the flexibility and stability of its platform. I saw firsthand how Wavestore’s open architecture and integration capability allowed us to deliver powerful access control solutions that could scale to meet the needs of our clients. That encounter stayed with me, and it’s part of why I’m here today.

Kevin Baldwin
Head of Marketing  
Wavestore

I joined Wavestore in March 2023, bringing with me 15 years of experience in business growth and improvement consulting across various sectors, including precision manufacturing, telecoms, fleet management, publishing, private equity, government, and educational institutions. While I am a relative newcomer to the world of security, I find the Wavestore business genuinely fascinating as it goes beyond security and surveillance. With Sam Shalaby's acquisition of the business, it's an exciting place to be.

Wavestore, founded in 2000, has always been at the forefront of introducing cutting-edge technology – in many ways we are the industry’s best kept secret. In 2006, we were among the first to develop hybrid analogue and IP VMS solutions. Our journey continued with the release of Version 5 in 2011, which featured a trend-setting user interface, instant search capabilities, and 360-degree fisheye dewarping. This version also marked our first venture into the Americas.
