Year V • Issue 5 • Nov-Dec 2017(74 pages including 6 for cover)

Dear Readers,Greetings from MalaysiaSAFE!Malaysia’s budget for 2018 was recently announced, with the government

laying out plans to tackle rising living costs and to contain our country’s fi scal defi cit. The proposed budget stands at RM 280.25 billion, with the bulk of it allocated for operating expenditure and development. From this, the country’s security forces will receive a signifi cant funding as the government maintains its provision on national security.

Besides announcing that the Armed Forces (ATM) will have an allocation of RM 14 billion, the Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM) will have nearly RM 9 billion, up from RM 8.7 billion the previous year, and the Malaysian Maritime Enforcement Agency (MMEA) will have an allocation of RM 900 million. This, as the government looks to enhance their regional Digital Counter-Messaging Communications Centre to counter the extremist ideology such as ISIS and also for upgrading PDRM’s communications system and ICT infrastructure.

The national budget on improving safety at the borders and for the enhancement of public order comes timely as just a month earlier, Deputy Home Minister Datuk Nur Jazlan Mohamed called for authorities to expand the use of CCTVs in public areas by including facial recognition softwares to boost security. At the moment, CCTV systems are not widely used and are still recording images in a passive way. The Home Ministry wants CCTVs placed at all public transportation systems to have facial recognition facilities and to be linked to police control centres, after looking at CCTV equipment modules used in Britain, China and Australia.

However, installing facial recognition CCTVs would require a new law to regulate its use before it can be expanded in the country. This becomes crucial as the Personal Data Protection Act 2010 (PDPA) came into force in 2013, and imposes certain obligations on ‘data users’ in dealing with all personal data processed by them. According to the Home Ministry, a bill would be tabled next year and we hope the country will get to utilize the facial recognition technology soon as a means of preventing crime and analyzing recorded footages for evidence.

The region’s leading security, fi re and safety event – IFSEC Southeast Asia had a successful show last September, with noticeable developments in smart city and public transportation safety solutions. We will certainly miss returning to the event next year, as the 6th edition will take place in Bangkok, Thailand. We are looking forward to newer technologies from the industry next year, as this year closes on a high with technologies such as Deep Learning AI and Ultra High Defi nition surveillance.

Team MalaysiaSAFE would like to take this opportunity to congratulate YBrs Tan Sri Dato’ Sri Mohamad Fuzi Harun on his appointment as the new Inspector General of Police. We wish him all the best on the job and may he have success in the challenges ahead. We would also like to wish all our readers a Happy New Year, and we hope to be back next year with brand new exciting editorials and contents.

Stay Safe & Enjoy Reading!

regional roundup

On 6-8 September 2017, the region’s

leading security, fire and safety

event took place at the Kuala Lumpur

Convention Centre, Malaysia. The three-

day event was the fifth edition of IFSEC

Southeast Asia, which is well-known as

a must-attend event for industry players

all over ASEAN.

As the platform where industry

players and buyers could discover the

latest products in security, fire and

safety, the organiser, United Business

Media, succeeds in expanding its prod-

uct and exhibition category, and the

most noticeable development was the

inclusion of drones. IFSEC Southeast

Asia 2017 was the first event to have

dedicated a fly zone for drones inside

the exhibition hall of KL Convention

Centre. The drone zone attracted visi-

tors to witness the manoeuvrability and

advantages of drones, as applicable to

the industry.

The fifth edition comprised 109

companies representing more than 350

world-leading brands, giving the visi-

tors an ample number of options. Major

brands such as Entrypass Corporation

Sdn Bhd, Seagate, Guangdong

Anjubao Digital Technology

Co., Ltd, Beijing Landwell

Electron Technology Co., Ltd,

ComNet, Dahua, Nemtek (Pty)

Ltd, Noctura Ltd, InfoWatch

Group and others took the op-

portunity to present on the

show floor and showcase their

latest products and technolo-

gies. With more than 6,300

total attendees mainly from

ASEAN countries, this was the

best event for international brands to

meet directly with specifiers, installers,

distributors and end-users, all under one

roof.

In addition to the exhibition, IFSEC

Southeast Asia provides the best knowl-

edge centre for the visitors. With daily

free conferences taking place on the

show floor, visitors had the opportunity

to listen to industry experts on the latest

industry updates. The line-up of speak-

ers included Natalya Kaspersky, Presi-

dent of Infowatch Group, Mr. James Bit-

ting from Equinox Innovative System,

Mr. Bryan Liu from DJI Enterprise and

other experts who provided the

best insights on various subjects

including cybersecurity, drones

and other related topics.

IFSEC Southeast Asia was

supported by Malaysia’s Min-

istry of Home Affairs, Royal

Malaysia Police, CyberSecurity

Malaysia, Asian Professional

Security Association (APSA)

Malaysia Chapter, British Se-

curity Industry Association

(BSIA) and ASIS International

(Malaysia Chapter), Chartered Interna-

tional Institute of Security and Crisis

Management and Malaysia UAV Devel-

opments Association. Having authorities

and associations supporting the event

strengthened IFSEC Southeast Asia’s

position as the leading security, fire and

safety event in the region.

Moving forward, the 6th edition of

IFSEC Southeast Asia will take place

in Bangkok from 14 to 16 November

2018. The decision to alternate the edi-

tions between Kuala Lumpur and Bang-

kok is due to the strong support received

from the Royal Thai Police and Thailand

Convention and Exhibition Bureau. Of-

fering business-leisure experiences for

both exhibitors and visitors, Thailand

is ramping up its investments in the ef-

fort of gearing the economy to focus on

stability, infrastructure, education and

entrepreneurship by launching smart

city projects and tapping into Internet

of Things (IoT), the cloud, big data and

analytics to nurture smart, secure and

connected communications.

regional roundup

Until now, level of detail has been

the key quality parameter for sur-

veillance cameras, as clear images at all

times was the most important feature

for high security. True, security person-

nel must see all relevant information in

great detail to react quickly and take ap-

propriate action, but what if a moving

object leaves the camera’s field of view?

The AUTODOME IP family of pan,

tilt and zoom (PTZ) cameras is the an-

swer. These enable users manually to

keep track of persons of interest as they

move – even at speed, far beyond a fixed

camera’s field of view.

This illustrates how the new AUTO-

DOME IP cameras are improving video

security. What opens a new chapter in

the usage of video cameras is their built-

in video analytics as a standard. The new

AUTODOME IP cameras from Bosch

now add metadata to all captured video

images. This data can be used to improve

security by automatically alerting users

once pre-defined criteria are met or for

other uses beyond security. For example:

enforcing traffic regulations, enforcing

no-parking zones, detecting vehicles

driving the wrong way and delivering

occupancy data (the number of vehicles

entering or leaving a parking garage) for

smart, more efficient parking.

Their built-in Essential

Video Analytics enable the

AUTODOME cameras to un-

derstand what they are seeing.

They generate metadata to

add sense and structure to the

video footage, instead of just

capturing and storing video

images. They not only detect

objects, they deliver associat-

ed data like size, speed, shape,

direction, and color. They

automatically distinguish be-

tween the object types such as

person, car, bike, motorcycle

or truck.

Because it’s possible to set certain

alarm rules, such as someone approach-

ing or climbing over a fence, security

personnel are alerted the moment the

alarm rule is triggered. It can even be

configured to recognize changes in

speed (running), shape (crouching) or

aspect ratio (falling). When searching

for evidence, metadata in combination

with the forensic search functionality al-

lows instant retrieval of relevant footage

from hours of stored video.

The AUTODOME IP 4000i is de-

signed for indoor use. Its discreet hous-

ing blends quietly into interior décor. It

comes with full pan and tilt control, plus

12x optical zoom that identifies fast-

moving objects in 1080p resolution at

distances of up to 88 meters at 60 frames

per second.

For indoor and outdoor applications

with a larger surveillance area, there is

the AUTODOME IP 5000i. With its 30x

optical zoom, 1080p resolution and 60

frames per second video, fast-moving

objects can be identified at up to 190 me-

ters during daytime, even in challenging

lighting conditions.

For larger distances and complete

darkness, there is the AUTODOME IP

5000i IR. It performs identically to the

AUTODOME IP 5000i during daytime,

and at night identifies objects at up to

150 meters. Its built-in, infrared beam

ensures optimum illumination regard-

less of zoom level.

All AUTODOME IP 4000i and

5000i cameras from Bosch offer Intel-

ligent Dynamic Noise Reduction and

Intelligent Streaming, now also com-

bined with H.265 video compression.

Depending on the content of the scene,

this reduces bitrate by up to 80 percent.

It helps to keep video data manageable,

while substantially reducing network

strain, storage requirements and costs,

without compromising functionality and

image quality.

REGIONAL ROUNDUPREGIONAL ROUNDUP

Dahua Technology, a leading solu-

tion provider in the global video

surveillance industry presented a variety

of safe city solutions recently at the 5th

edition of IFSEC Southeast Asia 2017.

During the exhibition, Dahua showed a

comprehensive portfolio of products and

solutions which included Smart Parking

Management, Integrated Security Solu-

tions for Public Bus, Residential, Bank-

ing & Finance and the company’s indus-

try leading HDCVI 4.0 technology.

Developed by Dahua, HDCVI is the

world’s leading HD-over-coax technol-

ogy that can simultaneously transmit

audio, video, power and control signals

through an existing analogue infrastruc-

ture. Now updated to DHCVI 4.0, their

end-to-end product line includes 4K Ul-

tra HD front-end cameras and a full range

back-end storage products. The best part

about Dahua’s patented technology is that

their HCVR is backward compatible with

existing HDCVI cameras, which means

users’ investments will be protected

in the technology upgrade process.”

“This year we brought in our

new 360-degrees panoramic cam-

era with anti-corrosion casing for

use in harsh environments. Also,

we are showcasing our 8 megapixel

camera over coax from our HDCVI

4.0 range, the fi rst of its kind in the

world. And new to the market, is

our solar powered cameras which

can run from 3 to 7 days continu-

ously even during rainy days. The

system solves the problem of not

having network or power in any given

area, because it can transmit video sig-

nals over its wireless transmitter,” said

Ms. Cheryl Zhou, Channel Manager for

Malaysia at Dahua Technology.

Furthermore, Cheryl explained the

highlights of Dahua’s Safe City Solu-

tions such as facial recognition and

number plate recognition have already

been widely used in big cities such as

Beijing and Hangzhou in China with

excellent results. Therefore, she believes

this technology can be robustly used in

Malaysia, “It is good to meet and talk

with our long term friends and new cus-

tomers here because we can receive their

feedback on our new products and tech-

nology,” added Cheryl.

KLIA safely and efficiently accommo-

date increasing aircraft traffic.

Malaysia Airports (Sepang) Sdn.

Bhd., which operates the airport, has

chosen Honeywell solutions to enhance

the safety, capacity and efficiency of

KLIA airside operations. Honeywell’s

technology will control and monitor

airside systems, and provide real-time

location information on lamp failures to

enable faster response and repair – re-

ducing risk and improving uptime.

“As the primary gateway to Malay-

sia, KLIA is a showcase of our ambi-

tion to grow as a nation,” said Datuk

Badlisham Ghazali, Managing Director,

Malaysia Airports, “As we move closer

to becoming a developed country, our

airports should reflect high standards of

safety and efficiency. Our collaboration

with Honeywell is in line with our com-

mitment to maintain safety, improve ef-

ficiency, drive performance, and reduce

systemat KLIA.

This project will position KLIA

as one of the most technologically ad-

vanced airports in the world, with the

capability to move toward the advanced

‘follow-the-green’ (A-SMGCS Level 4)

technology.

Airfield ground lighting, as a visual

aid for landing and taxiing, is an im-

portant element of an airport’s infra-

structure. Lighting installations for ap-

proaches, runways, taxiways, and aprons

enable pilots to navigate the complex

surface layouts of modern airports in all

conditions, from taxiing and takeoff to

landing. Honeywell’s computerized con-

trol and monitoring system facilitates

the operation and observation of these

lighting installations, and ensures that

safety requirements are met. This sys-

tem provides workstations for tower and

technical personnel to simplify daily op-

erational processes and optimize main-

tenance activities.

scheduled to be held 25 – 27 April 2018

in Taipei, Taiwan. The fair is expected to

welcome more than 400 exhibitors from

15 countries and regions, and this year

will correspond with the industry’s evo-

lutionary shifts in buying habits.

The emergence of IoT, AI and big

data has reshaped the traditional se-

curity industry and led to the develop-

ment of solution-oriented products and

intelligent applications. As a result, it

has created a growing demand for more

diverse markets. In response, buyers are

modifying their purchasing strategies.

For example, conventional security buy-

ers are looking for value-added products

bundled with intelligent analytics tech-

nology, while new buyers from the IT

industry are searching for products with

IoT technologies. At the same time, sys-

tem integrators are pursuing multifac-

eted solutions.

Commenting on these changes in

sourcing behav-

iours, Ms Regina

Tsai, Deputy Gen-

eral Manager for

Messe Frankfurt

New Era Business

Media said, “Price

is not the biggest

concern for indus-

try players, and

they’re willing to

pay more for inno-

vative technologies.

Product customi-

sation is the key

differentiator in this highly competi-

tive market. No matter how the security

market has changed over the years, Se-

cutech’s mission is to broaden the scope

of solutions and facilitate cross-industry

cooperation.”

In order to cover a wide spectrum of

products, this year’s edition of Secutech

will converge security, ICT and IoT by

focusing on four key technologies: key

components, AI & intelligent video ana-

lytics, ICT transmission & LPWAN, and

IoT & physical cybersecurity. Each of

these have redefined conventional secu-

rity and enabled more intelligent appli-

cations.

What’s more, the fair’s newly

launched Mobility Asian Pavilion will

highlight the latest connected vehicle

technology trends and intelligent trans-

port system solutions, such as key com-

ponents, intelligent software, automotive

electronics systems and applications.

Meanwhile, the Intelligent Solutions

Pavilion will uncover business potential

for the factory, retail, transportation and

healthcare sectors.

Apart from these two pavilions, two

concurrent events will each delve into

the trends of smart homes, as well as

fire and safety. Firstly, the SMAhome

Expo will introduce solutions for home

security, assisted living/ elderly care,

and energy management. In addition,

INTERVIEW

MalaysiaSAFE: Please give a brief background to yourself and the company.

Jimmy Low (JL): Basically, I

am the second generation owner of the

company. Magnet Security & Automa-

tion was founded in 1980 and we have

been providing automation solutions

for 37 years. My father started the com-

pany as an autogate installer and oper-

ated from a small office in Jalan Sungai

Besi. Then, we would get the autogates

directly from the UK and install them

for the expats who were living here.

Over time, some companies in Malay-

sia started manufacturing autogates so

we stopped importing them from the

UK and used locally made products.

The market evolved over the years as

our customers started requesting for

alarms, CCTVs, and intercoms so the

company had to adapt; We began in-

stalling and integrating other Extra

Low Voltage (ELV) products together

with the autogates.

When I returned from the US after

completing my studies, I wanted the

company to push the distribution busi-

ness of our own products. So we started

designing and had our products manu-

factured in China. We would then con-

duct all product QCs and final assembly

in Malaysia before distributing them

under our own brand. I am proud to say

that our business flourished over the

years, and therefore we made the deci-

sion of moving into our new and bigger

office in Pandan Jaya to accommodate

our growth. This is now our new HQ for

sales and services, together with an as-

sembly plant in Pandan Indah and our

warehouse in Pandan Cahaya.

MalaysiaSAFE: What sort of products or specialised solutions do you offer?

JL: We specialise in building secu-

rity systems and provide total solutions.

We have products for points of entry into

the building right up to the respective

offices on every floor. What this means

is that we provide the boom gates with

long range readers for entry into the car

park, the building turnstiles, and access

general Manager, Magnet security & automation sdn BhdFrom its humble and ambitious beginning as an autogate installer, Magnet Security & Automation

has grown from strength to strength to becoming a household name in gate automation and building security solutions. MalaysiaSAFE took the opportunity of interviewing

INTERVIEW

control into respective offices – as a full

solution, all managed by our proprietary

centralised software.

MalaysiaSAFE: What are the main brands you represent and how do your choose these brands?

JL: We select our brands based on

what we evaluate to be the best products

in terms of having the right technology

which can fill the gaps in the system. For

example, I believe MAG, which is our

own brand for barriers, boom gates, and

long range readers is one of the leading

brands in the country. It is designed to

complement any access control system.

Then we have DEA from Italy for gate

automation,Vigilance and Soyal for bio-

metric time attendance and access control

respectively, and Paradox for alarm sys-

tems. We also have our in-house brand,

MAGTEC for CCTVs. And to manage

all of the security system, we developed

our own central management software

called Soyal Etegra. So the products and

brands we choose to represent are actu-

ally derived from what the market needs.

MalaysiaSAFE: What are the challenges of growing your own brand?

JL: The first challenge for devel-

oping one’s brand is always being the

new and unknown player in the mar-

ket. In the beginning, people would be

sceptical on whether the products are

of any good quality. The price factor

plays a role too because we are sand-

wiched between the more expensive

European brands and the cheaper low

end Chinese products which are vastly

available in Malaysia and may come in

directly through Chinese construction

companies. We solve all these prob-

lems by treating the challenges as an

advantage. And the best advantage is

that we design our own products. Our

product quality is comparable to the

European ones, and we can compete

on price because we manufacture our

parts in China. That is the value that we

push to our customers, and so far, we

have been getting a positive response.

In addition, we are able to provide the

best after sales service compared to

other brands because our service cen-

tre and spare parts warehouse are all

easily accessible in Malaysia.

MalaysiaSAFE: How do you provide technical support to your clients and partners?

JL: Basically we have a support

counter based in our HQ. Customers can

just walk-in to these counters whereby

our technicians will be ready to assist

them face-to-face. We will send our

technicians on-site if our dealers are

not able to trouble-shoot the problems.

Besides having our technical support

counter, we also have a warranty centre

where engineers could actually explain

to the dealers why certain claims may

not be covered by warranty, and thus

providing transparency for all warranty

claims. This is our commitment towards

our customers.

MalaysiaSAFE: What is your go-to-market strategy?

JL: We do not sell our products di-

rectly to end-users but instead through

our partners. Even though our profit

margins can be smaller compared to

engaging in projects directly, our value

is to assist our partners so that we have

a healthy business growth. Should a

potential client become interested in

our solutions, we can approach and at-

tend to all their queries. But our part-

ners will be the ones to handle all the

projects. This creates a trusting bond

between us and our partners. And we

will also continue to support our part-

ners with regular trainings and war-

ranty claims.

MalaysiaSAFE: Which verticals are you most involved in?

JL: There is no clear cut vertical

for us because when you talk about

building security systems, it can re-

fer to any types of building. However

from our legacy market segment, we

were involved in many high rise resi-

dential projects like condominiums.

Many condos and gated communities

are using our system currently. That

is how we started. But now there are

also many office towers that are using

our autogate and barrier systems.

C M Y K

C M Y K


INTERVIEW

MalaysiaSAFE: What are the challenges in executing projects within these verticals?

JL: All verticals will have a com-

mon problem. Firstly, the wiring. We

would try our best to train our partners

the best method for laying down proper

wiring. But sometimes, the actual work

is done by unskilled workers so prob-

lems can arise from there. As a brand

owner like us, it is difficult to control the

standard of work of all our partners and

it may affect us also when a system is

not functioning like how it was meant to.

Another common problem is surge

protection. Systems like barriers and

boom gates are installed out in the open.

In a lot of cases, we would receive our

readers for repairs because they are

all burned from power surge overload

caused by lightning strikes. We regularly

remind our partners how to do proper

electrical grounding to prevent power

surges, and I can say that the work done

by our partners has improved in the last

few years.

MalaysiaSAFE: Can you name some of the prestigious projects you have undertaken?

JL: One of the most significant

projects we have done through our SI is

Trans Jakarta in Indonesia. It is an elevat-

ed bus way where we installed over 400

turnstiles and controllers at each station.

In Malaysia, during the construction pe-

riod of the MRT Line, we were involved

with Gamuda in providing our barriers

and turnstile system to control the la-

bour force and the trucks transporting

building materials. Then we did work on

Sarawak’s most famous building, Wisma

SESCO, Menara Prudential, Menara Zu-

rich, Wisma Mah Sing, the new campus

of UiTM in Dengkil, and Paragon Inter-

national School in Johor, to name a few.

MalaysiaSAFE: What are the parameters to consider when you are proposing a security solution to your clients?

JL: I think the most important

thing is first to secure your entrance. A

lot of people usually overlook this part.

Usually the first thing they would think

of for a security system is surveillance.

But if you can control the entry of

the right people into your building, then

the security threat for your building is

already significantly reduced. Although

there is no system that is 100% unb-

reachable, it is important for the build-

ing to have capable personnel to work

hand-in-hand with the systems. Just

like at traffic light, if there is no regu-

lation that people should stop during a

red light, then the whole system will not

work. So at the end of the day, technol-

ogy on its own is not sufficient to safe-

guard a building. The whole ecosystem

involving guards, tenants, building man-

agers and visitors must adopt the culture

of being safe and vigilant to maximise

what the security system can do for you.

MalaysiaSAFE: Being part of the industry, what do you hope to achieve that could influence or improve the security industry as a whole in Malaysia?

JL: What I want is for the im-

provement of the service and skill

level of the installers and technicians

within our industry. That is very im-

portant because no matter how good

a device is, if it is installed badly, the

device may not be able to give the full

benefit to the customer. Profession-

alism within our work, that is key. I

think during my father’s time, a sys-

tem could run for at least 10 years

before encountering any problems

because the way wiring and conduits

are installed, all are done properly.

Today, too many shortcuts in the work

and end-users may not be aware of it.

This can happen when everyone com-

petes with a lower pricing. So, when

the system doesn’t work, the product

gets the blame.

MalaysiaSAFE: What new initiatives have you charted for 2018?

JL: We are moving more aggres-

sively into building security. For the

past few years we have focused more

on our barriers. So from next year on-

wards, we will put other security prod-

ucts such as our access controls and

software under the limelight. All this, in

response to the rising terrorism threats

all over the world. We understand that

not every building will have the budget

to install state-of-the-art security sys-

tems, but we are always ready to pro-

vide sufficient protection. Ultimately,

we want to make good security systems

accessible and affordable for everyone,

especially in our region.

We are moving more aggressively into building security. For the past few years we have focused more on our barriers. So from next year onwards,

we will put other security products such as our access controls and software

IDIS has featured its new IDIS Ultimate

Warranty at the ASIS International Ex-

hibition 2017 in Dallas, Texas. Breaking

free from industry norms of three to five

years, the new IDIS guarantees extend

protections for its latest-generation tech-

nologies by two-years, bringing the war-

ranty for H.265 NVRs and multi-format

HD-TVI, DirectCX TVRs to an unprec-

edented seven years.

The new extended warranty gives

IDIS integrators and installers a clear

competitive advantage and delivers in-

creased peace of mind with a lower cost

of ownership to end users. The IDIS

Ultimate Warranty is also particularly

competitive when compared to PC-based

solutions that typically handle up to

64-channels, which have a maximum

warranty of three years, forcing end

users to purchase additional warran-

ties way before the end of their sur-

veillance solution’s lifecycle.

A recent survey conducted by

IFSEC Global showed most organi-

zations look to upgrade surveillance

systems after four to six years. With

the IDIS Ultimate Warranty, end us-

ers can be confident that their IDIS solu-

tion will be supported for its entire life

cycle, a demonstration of IDIS’s confi-

dence in its industry-leading quality and

reliability.

Joon Jun, President of the IDIS

Global Business Division notes, “As

IDIS has brought every new innova-

tive product to market, each element

has been designed and manufactured

in-house with quality and reliability in

mind. We still have IDIS DVRs installed

over 13 years ago in operation that have

required little to no maintenance. This is

a testament to IDIS quality and reliabili-

ty, and one that makes the IDIS Ultimate

Warranty, which extends our guarantees

for some products to as many as 7 years,

a natural step.”

The result of the merger of Oberthur Technologies (OT) and Safran Iden-

tity & Security (Morpho), the OT-Mor-pho group today became IDEMIA. The group’s ambition is to empower citizens and consumers to interact, pay, connect, travel and even vote securely while tak-ing advantage of the opportunities of an increasingly connected world.

At an event that brought together nearly 2,000 guests at the Seine musicale (an iconic cultural venue in the west of Paris, France), Didier Lamouche, Chair-man CEO of OT-Morpho, officially re-named the group IDEMIA. In a world di-rectly impacted by the exponential growth of connected objects, the increasing glo-balisation of exchanges, the digitalisation of the economy and the consumerisation of technology, IDEMIA stands as the new leader in trusted identities placing “Aug-mented Identity” at the heart of its actions. As an expression of this innovative strat-egy, the group has been renamed IDEMIA

in reference to powerful terms: Identity, Idea and the Latin word idem, reflecting its mission to guarantee everyone a safer world thanks to its expertise in trusted identities.

This event furthermore provided an opportunity to discover all of the group’s latest innovations. These include the auto-mated air passenger boarding process, the new generation biometric payment card, and embedded security systems to equip the connected cars of tomorrow.

Supported by a workforce of 14,000 employees from all over the world, includ-ing 2,000 in the Research and Develop-ment department, IDEMIA is the result of the merger between OT and Morpho completed on 31 May 2017. Today a lead-ing player in the identification and authen-tication sector, the group serves clients in 180 countries and provides services to five main customer segments: Financial Insti-tutions, Mobile Operators, Connected Ob-jects, Citizen Identity, and Public Security.

“Our future will be built through in-novation and disruption which will revo-lutionise our daily lives. Our vision when we merged OT and Morpho was to build a new offer capable of revisiting the world of digital security. And this is what the creation of IDEMIA has achieved. Thanks to our talented people and the solutions they invent, citizens and consumers can now connect, interact, exchange, pay, travel or even vote in total confidence, drawing on the benefits of a connected world,” explained Didier Lamouche, CEO of IDEMIA.

“The accomplishment of this promise is what we call Augmented Identity. It is about using the biometric characteristics of each person as a unique signature of individual identity, thus facilitating ex-changes. It fosters confidentiality and trust and guarantees secure, authenticated and verifiable transactions. This is a decisive step towards a more frictionless, safer world.”

When cities grow, so do the chal-

lenges facing their citizens,

representatives and services. Urbani-

zation poses challenges to safety and

security, and puts demand on vital

infrastructure. As part of its smart

city initiative, Axis Communications

helps cities fulfil their promise of

creating a safer, more mobile eve-

ryday environment. To demonstrate

what is possible, Axis together with

its partners will demonstrate cutting

edge smart city solutions at this year’s

Smart City Expo World Congress, 14-

16 November, in Barcelona.

Smart cities use cameras, sen-

sors and other connected technology

to increase livability and improve the

management of the city’s assets. A

key part of the smart city concept is

that of a safe city, where authorities

strive to reduce crime rates and pro-

vide citizens with a lasting sense of

security. As the market leader in net-

work video, Axis helps cities achieve

this vision, and together with partners

also provides smart video solutions

that improve the urban traffic flow.

Safety in the smart city

Safety is often the main driver

for a smart city initiative. Axis

video solutions provide clear return

on safety investments, turning reac-

tive forensics into proactive real-time

security. Using Axis cameras and

partnered expertise, including facial

recognition and even drone detection,

city authorities can automatically spot

potential incidents and manage events

as they happen. Through triggered

lighting and audio or direct two-way

communication, they can often deter

an incident in progress. If not, they

have all the information needed for a

rapid response and successful inves-

tigation. Axis video solutions can be

found in smart city projects world-

wide. One example is Detroit’s safety

initiative Project Green Light that is

centered on Genetec’s unified secu-

rity platform, allowing for efficient

incident management and collabora-

tive response.

Keeping smart cities on the move

Closely related to safety is the

area of mobility, where Axis

also has a dedicated offering. Togeth-

er with the offering from Citilog, an

Axis company, Axis video solutions

can swiftly detect traffic accidents or

violations, as well as provide com-

prehensive data for improving traf-

fic flow. The result is not only faster

emergency response and better utili-

zation of existing infrastructure, but

also happier commuters.

Cameras that deliver more than video

Whether deterring crime or re-

ducing road congestion, Axis

cameras are versatile tools that sup-

port the entire incident management

chain. By providing detailed, high-

quality video in even the most dif-

ficult conditions, they offer the best

possible platform for optimizing situ-

ational awareness and operational

efficiency. In this way, Axis solu-

tions support municipal leadership

in meeting the demands and wishes

of citizens. By reducing crime, mak-

ing public areas secure and helping

traffic flow smoothly, they contribute

to creating an appealing, prosperous

city, where life and business runs

smoothly.

ASSA ABLOY has signed an agree-

ment to acquire August Home, a

leading smart lock business in the US.

“I am very pleased to welcome Au-

gust into the ASSA ABLOY Group. Au-

gust constitutes a strategic addition to

the Group and reinforces our position

in the residential smart door market,”

says Johan Molin, President and CEO of

ASSA ABLOY.

“August Home strengthens our resi-

dential smart door strategy with com-

plementary smart locks, expansion into

video doorbells and comprehensive

solutions for home delivery,” says Tha-

nasis Molokotos, Executive Vice Presi-

dent of ASSA ABLOY and Head of the

Americas Division.

August was founded in 2013. It is

headquartered in San Francisco, Cali-

fornia and has approximately 90 em-

ployees.

Sales for 2018 are expected to reach

around USD 60 million (approx. SEK

500 million). The acquisition will be di-

lutive to EPS.

The acquisition is conditional upon

regulatory approval and is expected

to close during the fourth quarter of

2017.

interpol and British telecom unite to Fight cybercrime

INTERPOL and British Telecom (BT)

have signed an agreement which will

see increased cooperation between the

two organizations to prevent and com-

bat cybercrime.

Signed at the INTERPOL Global

Complex for Innovation (IGCI) in Sin-

gapore, the accord will see BT and

INTERPOL share threat intelligence

data relating to criminal trends in cy-

ber-space, emerging and known cyber-

threats and malicious attacks.

BT’s threat intelligence experts will

provide the IGCI with their knowledge

and unique insight into the evolving

global threat landscape, helping IN-

TERPOL in its efforts to identify and

take action against cyber-criminals op-

erating around the world.

Earlier this year BT was one of the

seven private sector companies which

provided support to an INTERPOL-led

operation targeting cybercrime across

the ASEAN region. BT’s threat intel-

ligence and investigation team, based

at the company’s security operations

centre in Singapore, provided informa-

tion on regional threats, including data

relating to local hactivist groups and

phishing sites.

The wider operation uncovered

nearly 9,000 command and control

(C2) servers, which are typically used

to launch distributed denial of service

(DDoS) attacks and spread malware,

ransomware and spam. Hundreds of

compromised websites, including gov-

ernment portals, were also discovered

as a result of the investigations.

“The scale and complexity of to-

day’s cyber-threat landscape means

cooperation across all sectors is essen-

tial if we are to effectively combat this

global phenomenon,” said Noboru Na-

katani, Executive Director of the IGCI.

“INTERPOL’s agreement with Brit-

ish Telecom is an important step in our

continued efforts to ensure law en-

forcement worldwide has access to the

information they need to combat these

evolving cyberthreats,” added Mr Na-

katani.

Mark Hughes, CEO, BT Security,

said, “Threat intelligence sharing be-

tween law enforcement agencies and

the private sector is essential in the fight

against cyber-crime, which is increas-

ingly borderless in nature. Tackling

cyber-crime therefore requires a collec-

tive, global response where the public

and private sectors work hand-in-hand.

“BT’s security expertise will help

INTERPOL identify cyber-criminals

and hold them to account, while their

intelligence will enhance our under-

standing of the challenges that we and

other organisations face in the battle

against cyber-attacks,” concluded Mr

Hughes.

BT is the first telecommunications

provider to sign such an agreement with

INTERPOL.

Oncam, the leading provider of 360-degree video cap-

ture and business intelligence technology has been

honored with two awards as part of Retail Risks’ Fraud

Awards 2017 program. Oncam, alongside partner Video

Analysis Solutions (VAS), was named the winner of the

Most Innovative In-store Solution for its Live Customer

Occupancy Watch platform and received a ‘highly com-

mended’ recognition in the category of Most Innovative

In-store Surveillance for its one box video surveillance so-

lution.

Each year, the Retail Fraud Awards highlights advanced

technologies, programs, teams and services designed to re-

duce retail fraud and enhance loss prevention efforts. Sub-

missions are judged by leading retailers across the globe,

including representatives from Amazon, Adidas, JD Sports

Fashion, Cotton On Group, McDonald’s and more.

Oncam and VAS were awarded for their collaborative

effort to provide a holistic approach to customer-based

analytics using Oncam’s award-winning, 360-degree sur-

veillance solutions and VAS analytics software. The Live

Customer Occupancy Watch platform uses captured video

to determine customer conversion rates, high-traffic areas,

customer-to-employee ratio information that can be used

to boost customer service, and much more. The result is a

solution that utilizes IP surveillance, along with key busi-

ness intelligence capabilities that many retailers demand

in an effort to deliver higher levels of customer service,

operational efficiency and the protection of critical assets

within a store.

“Partnership is the key to our success and this award

demonstrates how our focus on understanding specific re-

tail requirements delivers real-world results,” said Scott

Brothers, Executive Vice President of Corporate Develop-

ment, Oncam, “We continually align ourselves with key

stakeholders both on the loss prevention and retail side to

understand their operation and needs. The collaboration be-

tween Oncam and VAS has grown at an ever-increasing rate

to ensure we are aligned in how we support the retail com-

munity, both technically and culturally. ”

For innovation in loss prevention and video surveillance solutions

honored with awards

To continue providing the expected, products and servic-

es that we expect, businesses handle increasingly large

amounts of data. The security of this information is a major con-

cern to consumers and companies alike fuelled by a number of

high-profile cyberattacks.

The havoc caused by such attacks runs from celebrities em-

barrassed by careless photos, to the loss of medical records, to

ransom threats amounting to millions that have hit even the most

powerful corporations.

Where such data contains personal, financial or medical in-

formation, companies have both a moral and legal obligation

to keep it safe from cybercriminals. That’s where International

Standards like the ISO/IEC 27000 family come in, helping or-

ganizations manage the security of assets such as financial in-

formation, intellectual property, employee details or information

entrusted to them by third parties.

ISO/IEC 27001 is the best-known standard in the family

providing requirements for an information security manage-

ment system (ISMS). It’s an International Standard to which an

organization can be certified, although certification is optional.

For the person charged with auditing a particular company it

can be a complex process. Likewise, getting ready for a smooth

audit requires preparation and attention to detail. That’s pre-

cisely why ISO/IEC 27007 Information technology – Security

techniques – Guidelines for information security management

systems auditing exists. It helps both parties thoroughly prepare

by providing clear guidance. First published in 2011, ISO/IEC

27007 has now been updated to align it to ISO/IEC 27001:2013.

It provides guidance on the management of an information

security management system (ISMS) audit programme, the con-

duct of internal and external ISMS audits in accordance with

ISO/IEC 27001, and the competence and evaluation of ISMS

auditors. Additionally, it provides extensive guidance for au-

diting all requirements stated in ISO/IEC 27001. It’s intended

to be used in conjunction with the guidance contained in ISO

19011:2011, and follows the same structure as that International

Standard.

ISO/IEC 27007 bring benefits to any type of business and

is designed to be applicable for all users, including small and

medium sized organizations.

growing trend in the security industry to reduce com-

plexity by enabling customers and partners to source

comprehensive security solutions from a single pro-

vider, resulting in reduced costs and greater account-

ability.

Senstar also introduces the integration of its Net-

work Manager alarm reporting system and Symphony

VMS (formerly Aimetis). Network Manager is a soft-

ware gateway that allows communication with a wide

array of Senstar sensors, including FlexZone®, Fiber-

Patrol®, OmniTrax®, and UltraWave™. Symphony, the

new benchmark for intelligent video management, is an

ideal software solution for recording, monitoring and

analyzing video from both single server installations

and multi-server deployments.

The integration enables Symphony to receive the

full range of alarm and status information from Senstar

sensors via an IP connection. For each sensor alarm the

full range of Symphony’s security responses can be ini-

tiated, including commanding camera actions and pro-

viding visual and audio alerts.

Retailers, like most businesses, are

attempting to do more with less

in an effort to increase competitiveness

and profitability. Hardest hit have been

corporate support organizations (Target

and Best Buy are recent high-profile ex-

amples) where corporate loss prevention

personnel who specialize in identifying

and investigating corporate shrink typi-

cally reside. These developments, com-

bined with growing shrink numbers,

are further exacerbated by decreasing

employee loyalty as many retailers have

reduced employees’ weekly hours. This

has resulted in some employers increas-

ing their number of part-time employees

by up to 30 percent or more. In fact, the

Bureau of Labor Statistics estimates the

number of involuntary part-time work-

ers has nearly doubled from 2006 to

2013 and that trend continues.

The state of the market today

Retail employees today have to fre-

quently juggle multiple jobs to

earn the same income, further impacting

already-low employee loyalty. There are

fewer people who oversee a greater num-

ber of people who have relatively low-

wage jobs and less than stellar loyalty to

their employer. Is it any wonder that up-

wards to 50% of retail shrink is internal?

Employees stealing from their company

– the type of theft that isn’t opportunis-

tic like most shoplifting – is chronic, and

happening over and over again.

The focus for retail loss prevention

tools is on return on investment (ROI)

to be sure, but just as important they

must demonstrate a return on time in-

vested (ROTI) as well. That is, if I spend

an hour using this tool it will be more

productive than an hour using traditional

approaches and tools. Also the better,

newer tool must be able to capture and

apply the insights of those few LP spe-

cialists and then make the results avail-

able for use to a wider audience within

the company. Some retailers outsource

this function to companies whose em-

ployees will have little insight into the

company itself. This means the best loss

prevention tools have to be intuitive

and easy enough to use for just about

anyone. Employee theft that originates

at the register is a huge and persistent

problem. It generally makes up nearly

50% of the loss in any retail operation,

some contending even 80%. This means

that a single employee can steal day in

and day out from an employer using the

same methods, if undetected, and losses

exceeding thousands of dollars are not

uncommon.

Therefore, catching a single dishon-

est employee generally has a greater

impact on shrink than catching several

shoplifters who may only steal oppor-

tunistically once or twice from that re-

tailer. The sooner a company can iden-

tify and remove these employees, the

greater the impact on reducing shrink.

tioned that an employee who was doing

item returns for cash, started out stealing

According to 24 major retailers with 18,518 stores and over $589 billion in retail sales, at least one million shoplifters and dishonest

employees were apprehended dur-ing a recent year

end of the month, when the employee

was finally caught he was doing over

$600 a day. A total loss of $18,000 dol-

lars is certainly not a pocket change. The

employee is now in jail, but the retailer is

out of $18,000. Think about a company

that has 1,500 stores across the country.

If only 1% of the stores have dishonest

employees like Mr. $18,000, It cost the

retailer $270,000…in just one month.

Implementing business intelligence analysis

While a number of companies spe-

cialize for sometime in tools to

help identify suspect transactions, the

new focus needs to be on how to not only

identify a suspect individual transaction,

but on a comprehensive, data-driven

method to identify employees who are

the worst offenders – by company, re-

gion, division, store etc. All retailers

have learned over time which type of

Point of Sale (POS) transaction or com-

binations of transactions may indicate

employee theft in their stores. Typically,

retailers will have 20-30 types of trans-

actions (cancel followed by… or no sale

followed by… or excessive returns, etc).

Of the 20-30 transaction types, some are

much more likely to be theft.

3xLOGIC’s Cloud-based VIGIL

Trends business intelligence solution

uses algorithms to identify top offend-

ers by assigning a weight to each type of

transaction or exception (giving higher

weights to transactions with higher po-

tential for theft), so that chronic of-

fenders visibly bubble to the top of the

list. VIGIL Trends combines this with

a straightforward and quick way to re-

view all transactions and the associated

video, increasing the effectiveness of

the trained loss prevention professional,

and also provides a tool where regional

managers and others can easily get in-

volved and contribute to reduc-

ing shrink.

This sounds great, but

what’s happening in the actual

stores?

A recent Aberdeen Group

study indicated that 45% of re-

tailers struggle to get timely data

and only 26% of retailers have

implemented any exception re-

porting program like those de-

scribed above. Since Big Data

management tools that deliver

timely data are increasingly available,

and there is minimal capital investment

to implement a cloud-based Big Data

exception reporting solution, we expect

the percentage of retailers who imple-

ment such reporting systems to greatly

increase over next few years.

Case studies: Business intelligence in action

One of my favorite retail loss stories

is from one of the first end users

I worked with to implement our VIGIL

Trends business intelligence software

product. Upon implementation and full

monitoring of POS data from this head

of loss prevention’s 1,500 stores, the

company had 8,000 employees process-

ing over 2.5 million transactions daily.

We scheduled a webinar training session

with his team to get them started with

the Trends software, and in the email

invitation we included a login and pass-

word he could use for the dashboard of

his new LP solution. Five minutes after

sending him the email, he wrote back,“I

love it, it’s so easy to use I just caught

the first person!” The best, most effec-

tive BI packages must be very easy to

use and capable of finding “the needle

in the haystack” without 16 complicated

maneuvers and writing your own code. It

must provide that all-important return on

time invested. I recently learned that this

same end user projects that one of their

analysts will reduce shrink by approxi-

mately $1.2 million in one year using the

software package. One person. Over one

million dollars saved. That’s huge!

Integrated video for instant review

The ability to review video associ-

ated with POS exceptions has tra-

ditionally been a weakness in excep-

tion-based reporting systems. Typically,

systems provide the time and date of the

POS exception and then the end user

has to crank up their DVR software to

manually input the parameters to be ap-

plied to request the relevant video. In

such scenarios the end user has to wait

for the video to be uploaded from a dis-

tant store. In most retail applications the

network links to the stores are very low

speed – we have customers who still have

64Kb transmission – and security video

almost always is allocated only a por-

tion of the network connection, so more

critical store operations such as POS

and credit card data can be processed. I

have seen it take more than 10 minutes

to review a one-minute POS transaction.

This is not very good when measuring

return on time invested especially when

it’s repeated over and over.

VIGIL Trends utilizes a scheme

C M Y K

C M Y K


feature

where all POS exceptions that show a

high probability of theft, and therefore

are expected to be viewed, are securely

uploaded to the cloud in the background,

when bandwidth is available, where they

can then be played in a ‘YouTube’ like

video format. By using such a video

preload capability, one end user’s corpo-

rate investigators, who had been closing

just one or two cases a month, closed

100 cases in the first full year of use. Be-

cause they could review video quickly

they were able to look at far more excep-

tions and close more than 5x the cases

on an annual basis.

The Trends dashboard simplifies the

arduous task of loss prevention by pri-

oritizing the highest level offender(s) at

the top of the list allowing investigators

the highest degree of ROTI… you can

have analysts working on 5 cases of low

fraud value while a chronic offender is

lurking undiscovered deep down the

list… that can’t happen under the watch-

ful BI engine of Trends, we use a very

sophisticated algorithm to expose and

prioritize those abusers.

Using video for what can and what can’t be seen

Tight integration with video enables

loss prevention professionals to cre-

ate compound exceptions that are based

not only on POS transaction data but who

is in the camera scene as well. Using that

capability, VIGIL Trends can create an

exception for a product return when no

customer is present. We use video ana-

lytics to review the video for a customer

in the area where a customer should be

standing during the return. If there is no

customer, then we flag the exception as a

return with no customer present. The odds

that this type of transaction involves theft

are very high. When we turned this func-

tion on for one end user who had only 100

stores, they caught 30 employees in the

first month. Several were trusted employ-

ees in good standing who had worked for

the company for over five years – proving

you often really don’t know where your

shrink is coming from.

Looking over the horizon, what’s next in battling shrink?

One of the benefits of using Big Data

over the last couple years is that cost

of creating very large data sets with bil-

lions of transactions is low, and combin-

ing the ability to search those transactions

at an equally low cost is creating new op-

portunities to more effectively mine that

data. We used to keep a few months of

transactions per retail location and were

only able to search one location at a time.

Now, we can keep years’ worth of trans-

actions and quickly perform searches that

span the entire enterprise. With this much

richer data set, we are starting to look at

trends where we study employees who

have been caught stealing over time and

compare them to current employees to

help identify bad behavior quickly so it

can be stopped with a conversation and

disciplinary action not requiring termi-

nation. By doing this we identify theft

early to prevent significant loss over time,

which is the key role of any Loss Preven-

tion specialist. We may also be able to

‘save’ an employee from termination and

getting a record

That will negatively impact their

entire life, while at the same time sav-

ing the retailer the cost of terminating

An employee and hiring and training a

replacement.

We are also looking at the same data

sets to monitor new employee perfor-

mance over time. This data can be used

to determine what type of training is

the most effective and when additional

training is required. In addition, we

identify patterns of activity where stores

or regions are not conducting business

according to corporate guidelines. For

example, we can point out which em-

ployees are checking IDs for tobacco

and liquor vs. doing a date override be-

cause the customer ‘looks old enough.’

Customer demographics are consistent

over time at the same location, so check-

ing IDs should be equally consistent for

all employees.

We have found that retailers have

many other very rich data sets that fit

nicely into an advanced Business Intelli-

gence software package. Data from alarm

panels also provides many insights into

a retailer’s locations. Simply by looking

at opening and closing times, Operations

staff can quickly see which stores chroni-

cally open late or close early. Locations

with higher than average numbers of un-

scheduled openings bear further inves-

tigation. Monitoring phone records can

point to stores where employees may be

spending excessive amounts of time on

non-work related activity. The list goes

on and on of data sources that may seem

mundane but provide rich insights into

behavior that is potentially hurting pro-

ductivity and reducing profits.

We have only started to reap the

benefits from mining all the data we are

collecting across tens of thousands of lo-

cations, and that value to the entire end

user organization will only increase as

we add more data sets (store traffic pat-

terns, employee staffing, weather, alarm

data, to name a few). Once end-users

start asking questions about their data

that would have been impossible to an-

swer just a few years ago, they will come

to understand new insights they’ve only

dreamed about and their ‘wish lists’ for

tools to further reduce shrink will really

start to grow.

In a crowded marketplace, thousands

of retail companies, private business-

es and public authorities offer parking

facilities. With that ownership comes a

duty and a desire to constantly improve

their facility’s quality and convenience

for customers. Whether at a standalone

business, a shopping mall, hospital, su-

permarket, transportation site, or public

parking lot, providing a high-level of

service is the key to establishing a good

experience, building repeat business and

creating a loyal customer base.

The rising costs of property and land

means successful parking businesses

must strive to make the most economi-

cal use of their lots. Therefore, the effec-

tive management of every square inch of

available parking space is an increasing

priority.

With years of experience apply-

ing intelligent solutions in thousands

of businesses around the world, Hikvi-

sion, the world’s leading supplier of in-

novative video surveillance products and

solutions, is set to make life easier for

parking operators. With their state-of-

the-art Smart Parking Management So-

lution, Hikvision masterfully improves

the efficient management, security, and

profitability objectives of parking opera-

tors.

Effective access management

For parking lots close to town centers

or popular facilities, high customer

flow during rush hours often creates

parking entrance congestion. Effective

parking safety and management are crit-

ical concerns here, especially in retail

sectors.

The Hikvision Smart Parking Man-

agement System applies the latest bar-

rier technology, combining it with Hik-

vision’s industry-standard Automatic

Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) to

ensure seamless, managed vehicular en-

trance and exit from

parking lots. Fast

vehicle identifica-

tion and integrated

barrier control soft-

ware means queues

are minimised, and

greater vehicle flow

can be handled to in-

crease the productiv-

ity and efficiency of

any parking site.

Advanced Hikvi-

sion DarkFighter and

True WDR imaging technologies are

employed in the ANPR system, as well

as optional IR or built-in white light

LED lighting. These industry-leading

technologies ensure the delivery of crisp

and clear recognition and recording of

every vehicle using a parking lot day

and night.

Efficient parking guidance

Parking Guidance cameras in this ro-

bust solution automatically monitor

the use of the car park along with the

availability of spaces, 24 hours a day.

More sophisticated and useful than the

usual ‘Spaces available’ sign, the sys-

tem actually highlights the available

parking spaces to customers and guides

them to those spaces upon arrival. This

is achieved via parking guidance display

screens at critical junctions within the

car park, which display the number and

location of available parking spaces. Ad-

Controlled by the Hikvision Parking

Guidance Terminal, the system not only

provides power and network access for

up to 32 nearby cameras, but also pro-

vides real-time video for surveillance

and incident evidence preservation. Ad-

ditionally, terminals back up critical data

locally and can run parking guidance

offline – to ensure optimal system reli-

ability and minimal impact on local area

data networks.

‘Find My Car’ feature

Creating additional value and an im-

proving end-user experience in a

parking lot, the Hikvision Smart Parking

Management System includes a ‘Find

My Car’ feature. When returning to the

parking lot, drivers can use the Query Ki-

osk touchscreen. By simply entering their

license plate number in full or in part,

vehicles can be easily located on a sche-

matic floor map, and the vehicle location

displayed, along with the shortest and

quickest route to the vehicle. This means

vehicles can be located eas-

ily by customers in the often

confusing architecture of a

modern car park, plus vulner-

able users can feel safe know-

ing they are provided with a

simple, fast and safe route to

their vehicle. This again con-

tributes to creating a safe and

secure environment, one that

will encourage customers to

use the facility more often –

with the effect of increasing

business revenue.

Centralised parking management

Day-to-day management, includ-

ing remote barrier control, license

plate access management, vehicle ac-

cidents and unauthorised parking, can

now be achieved with Hikvision’s cen-

tralised parking management platform.

Providing the information and tools es-

sential to ensuring smooth parking lot

operation, the Hikvision Smart Parking

Management Solution employs a central

management platform that enables op-

erators to deploy manpower, monitor a

comprehensive facility overview, and re-

spond to planned and unplanned events

quickly and efficiently.

The system can provide invaluable

statistical and analytical parking lot in-

formation, helping operators maximise

their profitability and supplying status

history, parking usage rates, parking ve-

hicle flow, and much more. Integration

into third-party systems such as ‘Find

My Car,’ indoor navigation and payment

systems are all supported by an Open

SDK framework, allowing system inte-

grators to provide operators with a solu-

tion that works for them.

In short, parking businesses need to

provide the greatest level of flexibility

for their customers and ensure they can

enter and leave parking lots with mini-

mal hindrance. Automated barriers can

help keep customers moving smoothly

through parking facilities, but ensuring

the best possible vehicle entrance and

exit flow without congestion, along with

the ability to locate free parking spaces

simply and quickly is the key to provid-

ing a far better customer experience.

Using the Hikvision Smart Park-

ing Management Solution, commercial

parking lot managers can maximise the

full potential and profitability of their

parking lots – and all while ensuring that

their customers feel satisfied and safe in

their parking lot of choice.

Improving security

Further improving security, these

intelligent cameras enable ad-

heat caused by electrical faults allowing

professionals to efficiently test and trou-

bleshoot electrical, electro-mechanical,

and heating, ventilation, and cooling

vanced intrusion detection, allowing

users to set one or more alarm rules

in parallel, only receiving alerts when

needed. The cameras’ ability to inter-

pret what they see helps add sense and

structure to video data using metadata.

Video data is enriched with numer-

ous statistics like color details, and

the type, speed and direction of mov-

ing objects in a scene. The standard

forensic search feature provided with

Essential Video Analytics employs

metadata, making it possible to sift

through hours of recorded video data

in only seconds. Delivering the right

information in case of an emergency

or the correct evidence after a criminal

act is easier than ever.

Beyond security

By enabling users to interpret data

directly at the source, data can also

be re-assigned to make smarter business

decisions. In the retail business envi-

ronment, for example, the IP 4000i, IP

5000i and IP 6000i cameras can gather

statistics such as the number of people

entering or leaving a store, or identify

patterns in customer activity in order to

optimize store layouts, improve custom-

er experiences and bolster sales.

Another example of how the cam-

eras take analytics beyond mere secu-

rity applications is by helping enforce

health and safety regulations in com-

mercial buildings, retail, warehouses

and industrial facilities. Through

video analytics, automatic alarms can

trigger when something is blocking

emergency exits, when forklift trucks

are driving in the wrong direction, or

when unauthorized vehicles are parked

in ‘no-parking’ areas, such as loading

zones.

The next level in video security

and video data analytics requires

cameras with built-in video analytics

combined with the ability to deliver

the highest image quality and most ef-

ficient data management. With these

requirements in mind, the IP 4000i, IP

5000i and IP 6000i cameras are avail-

able in a range of resolutions, from

720p up to 5 megapixels, with frame

rates up to 60 frames per second. Even

in challenging lighting conditions, the

new DINION IP starlight 6000i IR

bullet camera provides clear and de-

tailed color images thanks to Bosch

starlight technology. This opens up

the camera’s full video analytics ca-

pabilities, like color filtering, even in

scenes with minimal ambient light, to

improve security and offer new appli-

cation opportunities.

For the most efficient data man-

agement, all IP 4000i, IP 5000i and IP

6000i cameras offer Intelligent Dynamic

Noise Reduction and Intelligent stream-

ing. Since quiet scenes with little or no

movement require a lower bitrate, the

cameras’ intelligent bitrate techniques

distinguish between image noise and

relevant information, such as movement.

This helps keep video data manageable,

while substantially reducing network

strain and storage requirements. And

because image noise is reduced at the

source during image capture, the lower

bitrate does not compromise video qual-

ity. Combined with latest H.265 video

compression, the cameras can reduce

bitrates by up to 80 percent. In case

a legacy system does not yet support

H.265, the all-new IP 4000i, IP 5000i

and IP 6000i cameras ensure backward

compatibility by supporting legacy

H.264 systems. Like all Bosch network

cameras, the IP 4000i, IP 5000i and IP

6000i models offer various software and

hardware measures, such as a built-in

Trusted Platform Module, to keep video

data secure.

Bosch’s new IP 4000i, IP 5000i and

IP 6000i fixed dome and bullet cam-

eras with built-in video analytics are

designed to take data usage to a whole

new level. The cameras not only meet

highest security demands, they open

up the world of video analytics, revolu-

tionizing how video data is used. Users

can now put video analytics to work for

them - to make smarter business deci-

sions.

apixel (MP) dome market in 2009, when

MegaDome was the first to offer H.264

compression in an all-in-one camera,

lens, and housing solution. Subsequent

generations of the series have added

many important capabilities and refine-

ments, culminating in the state-of-the-

art MegaDome G3 and G3 RS families.

“The MegaDome G3 and G3 RS

series include installer-friendly hous-

ings with motorized remote focus and

zoom for easy installation, while the

RS models go even further with revo-

lutionary hands-free setup,” said Brad

Donaldson, Vice President, Product

Development, for Arecont Vision,

“Both of the new MegaDome series

are packed with advanced capabili-

ties, including bandwidth reduction

and day/ night technologies for un-

matched performance for the widest

possible range of customer require-

ments.”

MegaDome G3:

MegaDome G3 offers 1.2, 1080p,

3, 5, and 10MP choices to ad-

dress any application need. All models

offer an IR-corrected motorized P-iris

wide angle or telephoto varifocal lens

with remote focus/ zoom for outstand-

ing image clarity and easy installation.

Arecont Vision’s H.264 compression

and advanced SNAPstream™ (Smart

Noise Adaptation and Processing) tech-

nology reduce bandwidth consumption

and storage requirements without im-

pacting image quality in all MegaDome

G3 models. Optional STELLAR™ (Spa-

tio Temporal Low Light Architecture)

technology is available in select models

for best-in-class light sensitivity to cap-

ture full color details in near complete

darkness, or with enhanced Wide Dy-

namic Range (WDR) technology for ap-

plications with varied or over-saturated

lighting conditions.

For enhanced lighting, integrated IR

(infrared) illuminators are available in

select models.

MegaDome G3 features an install-

er-friendly housing that is easier than

ever to install, while maintaining both

a IP66 environmental and an IK-10 im-

pact resistant ratings. Many other ad-

vanced features are also included in the

MegaDome G3 series.

MegaDome G3 RS:

MegaDome G3 RS offers 3 or 5MP

resolution choices, SNAPstream,

models with optional Enhanced WDR,

IP66/ IK-10 ratings, and an extensive list

of advanced features.

MegaDome G3 RS makes instal-

lation and setup faster than ever. With

remote setup, the installer mounts the

camera and installs the PoE (Power

over Ethernet) network cable and then

dismounts the ladder or lift. The cam-

era’s motorized varifocal lens package

features remote positioning, focus, pan

(359°), tilt (90°), and zoom capabili-

ties for rapid, completely hands-free

setup while the installer is safely on the

ground. Future changes or adjustments

to the view and focus can be made with-

out requiring mounting a ladder or lift.

Arecont Vision cameras run the in-

house developed Massively Parallel Im-

age Processing (MPIP) architecture on a

Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA)

integrated circuit. All core features and

technologies are developed by Are-

cont Vision, and installed cameras can

be upgraded with new capabilities and

enhancements via remote firmware up-

dates, thereby extending the useful life

of the device.

By employing the unique MPIP ar-

chitecture, Arecont Vision cameras do

not require the use of common embedded

operating systems, nor make use of 3rd

party code or chipsets for core features.

This approach eliminates the potential

risk of hidden backdoors as well as the

many other cybersecurity weaknesses

widely documented in other camera

brands. Arecont Vision cameras are un-

able to be maliciously repurposed for use

in Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS),

network penetration, ransomware, and

other cyberattacks, or to be used to spread

to malware and computer viruses to other

network-enabled devices.

The MegaDome G3 and G3 RS se-

Leveraging its experience in cam-

era image analysis and intelligent

algorithms, Dahua Technology has de-

veloped thermal imaging devices with

innovative functions that balance visible

light with infrared, enabling the ability

to effectively monitor an area under all

lighting conditions. These functions in-

clude intelligent temperature measure-

ment which further extends the scope of

surveillance applications such as detect-

ing forest fires or quickly checking for

passengers with high fevers at interna-

tional airports.

The following three applications

demonstrate the widespread capabilities

of thermal imaging devices:

1. Border security

Dahua Technology has created a

comprehensive solution to tackle

the challenges of border surveillance.

A thermal dome camera (TPC-SD8320)

with 30x zoom installed at every 1km

of a 100km section of essentially unlit,

wild border terrain can quickly detect

objects and then confirm threats using

visible light images. In this way, just

100 cameras alternately placed on both

sides of the border are necessary to pro-

vide full coverage, which can be man-

aged by a small team of workers from a

command center. The center is outfitted

with an e-map, which shows the location

and current sight line of each camera,

allowing border workers to assess sur-

veillance coverage in real-time. When a

camera detects someone entering a re-

stricted area, it will automatically trigger

an alarm while continuing to track the

target. Staff can then alert the intruder

and warn them with sirens. If needed, a

team can then be quickly dispatched to

confront the intruder. In addition, intel-

ligent route patrol allows operators to

configure cameras to follow a set patrol

route according to the requirements and

the terrain, decreasing the need for man-

ual control.

2. Forest fire prevention

With the potential of having cata-

strophic consequences, fires are

the greatest danger to a forest. Efforts

to prevent forest fires have been ex-

plored over the years, but several diffi-

culties still exist – the area of the forest

is disproportionately large to the limited

number of patrols who move relatively

slowly and are equipped

with only their eyes, from

which a fire source is

very likely to escape de-

tection, especially when

smokeless. To effectively

prevent forest fires, new

technologies that can function more ac-

curately than humans are needed.

Dahua’s intelligent forest fire moni-

toring system automatically monitors

the entire forest area, conducting intel-

ligent patrols. If a blaze begins, the sys-

tem will automatically trigger an alarm

via a high precision intelligent algorithm

which uses laser positioning to accurate-

ly locate the source of the fire.

3. Substation inspection

As power transmission hubs, sub-

stations must maintain a safe and

stable state at all times. Manual patrol

alone is not enough since malfunctions

can happen in an instant and may not be

immediately detected, or a patrol may

not be able to see silent breakdowns

waiting to occur.

Fortunately, new devices allow us

to use technology in order to detect

problems. Dahua has developed an in-

telligent substation monitoring system

which provides intelligent patrol fea-

tures complete with a report after each

round of patrolling. In other words, it

provides users with real-time informa-

tion about substation equipment in a

way that is much more efficient, saving

time and labor. Furthermore, it allows

humans and machines to work together

and take advantage of their respective

strengths. If the temperature of equip-

ment or part of the station exceeds a

preset limit, the system will automati-

cally trigger an alarm alerting manage-

ment.

ternal intruder detection.

Utilising Pyronix’ multi-award-

winning two-way wireless technology,

installation could not be easier, with fea-

tures like one-push-to-learn and signal

strength indicators. These allow the in-

staller to check for optimum signal and

learn the KX onto the system without

having to refer back to the panel. This

maximises convenience, accuracy and

the speed of the installation.

Throughout the range, false alarms

are also minimised via Blue Wave

Technology. Consisting of various fea-

tures, digital temperature compensa-

tion enables the KX to digitally adjust

its sensitivity to maintain its specified

range when the background temperature

moves closer to body temperature, while

automatic sensitivity allows it to self-

adapt to changing environmental condi-

tions to maintain stability and intruder

catch performance.

proves the detection of moving targets,

ensuring more precise signals can be

received from the PIR and allowing

protection of the area below the detec-

tor (creep zone). Independent Floating

Thresholds (IFT) eliminate electrical

disturbances and different microwave

frequencies allows multiple KXs to be

installed within close proximity of each

other without the risk of cross-talk in-

terference.

For light-industrial and commercial

use the KX DT range is ideal. Within

a DT, both PIR and microwave sensors

need to be triggered to sound the alarm,

which makes them perfectly suited to

harsher environments, such as mechan-

ics workshops, aisles or storage facili-

ties. The range also includes fantastic

anti-cloaking, anti-blocking and anti-

masking wired variations for Grade 3

installs using the KX15DTAM.

The KX detectors are optimised for

performance and presentation to deliver

the most stylish, dependable and flexible

security solution for any internal envi-

ronment.

infinias Google and Microsoft Outlook

Calendar integration is now available

in infinias CLOUD. Users can create

exception schedules for their doors sim-

ply by booking a calendar invitation in

Google or Outlook calendar. Calendar

integration requires no user training, so

approved staff can easily modify open

and close door schedules to accom-

modate evolving needs and last minute

changes. Schedule modifications can

also be managed directly from their mo-

bile device.

infinias access control solutions by

3xLOGIC have been market tested and

trusted for years. Whether leveraging

cloud or server-based options, 3xLOG-

IC’s infinias access control offers cost-

effective security solutions that are easy

to manage, simple to install, and that

scale with the user’s changing needs.

Creating and managing schedules,

and all the exceptions for those sched-

ules, are notoriously one of the most

complex tasks within access control ap-

plications, particularly for schools and

churches. For example, schools often

need to create exception schedules or

schedule overrides for PTO meetings,

sports events, extra-curricular events.

Churches or other groups that rent out

their buildings must accommodate last

minute additions and changes to their

meeting schedules. Business owners

and building managers need to modify

door schedules to accommodate meeting

room use, access to

public spaces, and

other unforeseen

schedule changes.

“This automat-

ed scheduling capa-

bility is critical for

the access control

market,” said Bill

Hobbs, 3xLOGIC

Senior Director of

Sales, “Access Con-

trol users often have

schedule interrup-

tions, changes, and

one-time events. If

the access control system is to be used

properly, someone has to program all

these exceptions, and with standard ac-

cess control systems, this has to be done

via the software GUI which requires

training in the use of the access control

software, thus introducing the chance for

costly, even dangerous errors. 3xLOGIC’s

Calendar Integration feature has elimi-

nated the need for additional training and

put this ad-hoc scheduling capability into

tools that our customers are comfortable

with and using everyday.”

With infinias Calendar Integration,

there is no need to access the infinias

software. Authorized users simply cre-

ate an event in their Outlook or Google

calendar with a beginning and ending

date/ time, invite the door or zone as a

resource, and infinias takes care of all

the scheduling work in the background.

There’s no room for error, no reason to

learn new software, and no specialized

training or staff required. Infinias users

can also use this feature to initiate ac-

tions such as sending a text or e-mail

meeting reminder to those who need to

be at the location, unlock the associated

doors, and turn on the lights, all from a

single calendar event. Everyone knows

how to use their calendar and these ex-

ceptions can be programmed right from

a mobile device as well. Mobile access

means that when that one time event

needs to be scheduled after hours, an

authorized user can do it right from the

comfort of their home.

Infinias CLOUD offers advantages

for the end user, but the integrator ben-

efits too – the system is easy to install

and with little or no training needed, the

integrator’s satisfied customer is up and

running, and effectively using the calen-

dar integration in no time. This software

With the Panomera® multifocal

sensor system, Dallmeier dem-

onstrated the latest technology for air-

port security at the inter airport trade

fair. Panomera® is a patented camera

technology, which was specially devel-

oped to enable comprehensive video

surveillance of expansive areas. The

multifocal sensor technology makes it

possible to display wide expanses as

well as long distances in unequalled

resolution quality, in real time and at

high frame rates of up to 30fps – and

the area can be monitored from a sin-

gle location. An outstanding feature of

the system is its unique combination of

an overall view with simultaneous high

detail resolution at every distance. One

Panomera® with eight sensors can re-

place as many as 35 standard megapix-

el cameras.

This offers many advantages for

airport security, whether on take-off

or landing runways, the taxiways and

hangars, the terminal buildings and

baggage handling systems, car parks

or access roads. At airports, huge

premises with a variety of areas must

be monitored around the clock. The

multifocal sensor technology provides

a comprehensive overview of all activ-

ity around the airport and airfield. Be-

sides the documentation of take-offs

and landings, queues of aircraft at the

runway, cargo and goods during load-

ing or repairs and construction works

can be fully documented and checked.

In addition, debris or parts on the run-

way or the aircraft taxiways or fatigue

cracks on the runway can be detected

In conjunction with intelligent vid-

eo analysis and management systems,

the monitoring of all landside and air-

airport. Since security personnel are

provided with a comprehensive over-

view of the entire airport, regardless of

where their individual focus may be at

any given time, they can react quickly

to any incidents. Video technology can

therefore assist airports with the im-

plementation of the Europe-wide opti-

misation concept of Airport Collabo-

rative Decision Making (A-CDM).

A-CDM specifically aims to enhance

the operational efficiency of airports,

Axis Communications introduces

its new AXIS D2050-VE Network

Radar Detector. Radar technology is

used for accurate and reliable area de-

tection of moving objects in a variety of

light and weather conditions. It is a good

complement to cameras with video mo-

tion detection and can be used to track

moving objects with PTZ cameras. Ra-

dar also allows for a wide area to be cov-

ered whilst thermal cameras are more

suitable for long perimeter protection.

Developed primarily for medium-sized

industrial installations, the product is

designed to integrate with Axis cameras

and video management systems (VMS)

– in addition to surveillance systems and

VMS from other major vendors.

Vandal-proof and suitable for out-

door use, AXIS D2050-VE can deliver

real-time information about the posi-

tion, speed, angle, and size of a moving

object. With a longer range than passive

infrared sensors, it covers a wide field of

detection, while minimizing the num-

ber of false alarms triggered by spiders,

small animals, moving shadows and

light reflections. The radar motion detec-

tor can be set to trigger camera record-

ing, activate a horn speaker, or switch

on a light for deterrence and improved

visibility on camera.

Axis’ network radar detector can be

used as a standalone product or as part

of a surveillance system. Thanks to its

open interface, it is compatible with

Axis cameras and can be easily integrat-

ed with Axis Camera Station and Axis

Camera Management software – as well

as other video management systems –

for straightforward management and

maintenance.

“Radar closes a gap as it offers good

area coverage, detects movement with

high accuracy, and reduces false alarms”

explains Andres Vigren, Global Product

Manager, Axis Communications, “Com-

pared to simple motion detectors, AXIS

D2050-VE provides additional informa-

tion of detected objects which allows for

auto tracking with Axis PTZ cameras.

Customers can now easily add proven

radar technology to their existing or new

surveillance systems to protect their

premises.”

Axis’ first detector with network ra-

dar technology, AXIS D2050-VE is an

affordable wall-mounted detector pri-

marily designed for outdoor use with a

wide detection coverage of 120 degrees

and 50 meters (164 feet). It is powered

by Power over Ethernet Plus (PoE+) for

simple installation and has IP66, IK08

and NEMA 4X ratings for tough envi-

ronments. The detector can be operated

in temperatures ranging from -40°C to

60°C (-40 to 140°F). AXIS D2050-

Introduction

Safeguarding outdoor assets in a reli-

able and cost-effective manner often

comes down to a single requirement –

accurate intruder alerts and timely infor-

mation about the unfolding event. While

there are many technologies available

for outdoor security, smart cameras with

video analytics have emerged as the so-

lution of choice for detecting intruders

in real time outdoors.

Yet the best technology will be hand-

icapped if the alerts generated cannot be

trusted. Repeated false alarms can even-

tually condition security operators to ig-

nore real intrusions, undermining trust

in the perimeter security system.

In most cases the shortsighted

response is to single out the security

force as scapegoats, which ignores

the real problem – alert fatigue. Af-

ter responding to hundreds of perim-

eter breach alarms that turn out to be

nothing more than small animals or

windblown branches, even the most

conscientious security guards lose

confidence in the system and start to

ignore its warnings.

There is no longer any reason for

this situation to exist. This design

guide relates how smart video security

technology, when properly deployed

according to best practices, can cost-

effectively protect outdoor assets with

high accuracy and low nuisance alerts

to help security forces stop intruders

before they act.

Start with the best detection: Use smart thermal cameras

Viable outdoor security must start

with a sensing system that is ac-

curate, 24-hours per day. For this rea-

son, conventional wisdom asserts that

smart thermal cameras are the best sys-

tem for detecting intruders outdoors.

This is because thermal cameras see

heat rather than light, so they are a per-

fect ‘human detector,’ and will ignore

headlights, reflections off water, and

other light-based activity, expanding

their usefulness from their traditional

role as night vision cameras to 24-hour

intrusion detection solutions.

Smart thermal cameras with built-

in video analytic software offers several

advantages:

● They detect in the dark with no need

for costly artificial lighting.

● They work 24 hours/ day.

● They ignore reflections, shadows,

moving headlights, direct sunlight,

and other light-based phenomena

that can trigger alarms in a visible

camera detection system.

● Because humans give off heat, ther-

mal sensors are far more effective in

spotting a person than visible cam-

eras.

● They detect body heat as far away as

600 meters – a third of a mile.

● A single thermal camera can protect

an area the size of a football field.

● Proper physical design makes them

immune to the effects of weather and

other environmental factors.

In the past, the higher price for

thermal technology limited their use in

commercial applications, but as costs

continue to fall, many organizations are

now able to choose thermal cameras as

the foundation for their outdoor detec-

tion applications.

Geo-registration and detection accuracy

Smart thermal cameras are designed

to detect movement, but outdoors,

everything moves. A smart camera must

be able to tell the difference between

small objects such as leaves or debris

and a person entering a secured area.

One of the best ways for a camera to

make this determination is through ‘geo-

registration’ which provides the actual

location and true size of all pixels in the

camera’s field of view.

Consider how human vision works:

Our eyes give us depth perception

– we can tell which object is close and

which is far. But a ‘one-eyed’ camera

can’t, unless it’s geo-registered. For ex-

ample, a small animal near the camera

will look much larger than a man at 300

meters away. (Figure 1)

A smart camera needs to ignore the

animal at right while alerting on the dis-

tant person, even though the animal will

cover more of the camera’s field of view.

The same approach applies to blowing

trash, clouds, and other moving things

which are always present outdoors. With

a camera that is geo-registered, such

non-security related movement will be

ignored and will not send alarms.

Essentially, geo-registration ena-

bles a three-dimensional capability for

a smart thermal camera. From this in-

formation, geospatial analytic rules can

be used to eliminate movement based on

size while still detecting human-sized

intruders under all conditions.

Geo-registered analytics in action: From-to Zones

Motion zones are often used by

video analytic systems to detect

the movement of objects and to send an

alert to notify security that an intruder

has been detected. By default, any ob-

ject moving within a motion zone trig-

gers an alarm. However, when used for

outdoor applications, motion zones can

lead to an abundance of nuisance alerts

because they lack the discriminating

intelligence to recognize the differ-

ence between ‘unimportant’ movement

caused by the natural environment and

‘relevant’ movement that represents a

security threat.

Cameras that are geo-registered

can create more intelligent rules called

From-To Zones, an important tool for

reducing nuisance alerts while maintain-

ing a high probability of detection.

Targets detected in a From-To Zone

will only trigger an alarm when a spe-

cifically sized object – such as a person

– moves from one zone into another de-

fined area of the camera’s field of view.

Correspondingly, objects that are not

detected coming from one zone into the

other are ignored.

From-To Zones are a very power-

ful method for reducing unwarranted

alarms. Importantly, they can be con-

figured to detect zones that are geo-

registered to the ground. This means

From-To Zones will only alarm when

a person’s feet have been in the ‘From’

and then enter the ‘To’ area, while ig-

noring detections that only show a part

of a person such as their head. This is

particularly useful when the security

area includes a fence, and you only

want to detect pedestrians who have

crossed over the perimeter into the se-

curity zone.

To see how From-To Zones work

in the real world, consider an applica-

C M Y K

C M Y K


white paper

tion where you need to detect pedestri-

ans approaching the perimeter, but are

not concerned about people leaving the

building.

With From-To Zones, the camera

will only trigger an alert when intrud-

ers move towards the facility – ignoring

everyone else, and greatly reducing un-

necessary alarms.

For another example, consider a

windy perimeter around an active con-

struction site where trash blows around

the scene. Inevitably, the trash will col-

lect along the fence and grow in size un-

til it is large enough to trigger an alarm.

When geospatial From-To Zones are

employed, the smart camera will ignore

the individual pieces of trash that did

not move from one zone to the other. It

will also ignore the large collection of

trash along the fence, even if it matches

a size rule, because the camera will

have already determined the actual size

of each piece of trash as it traversed the

field of view.

To take advantage of this powerful

functionality, choose cameras that are

geo-registered as a core feature.

Eliminate camera movement with stabilization

Many intrusion detection systems

are deployed along open areas

that are naturally impacted by high

winds or vibrations from planes, trains,

weather and machinery. Without image

stabilization, these applications can be

overwhelmed by nuisance alarms or

worse, outright misdetects. It is difficult

for smart cameras to detect movement

in a scene when the whole field of view

is also moving from camera shake.

For indoor surveillance applica-

tions, such camera shake is rarely a

problem. In the outdoors, where cam-

eras are mounted high on poles, even a

slight wind or vibration can cause nui-

sance alarms.

The best way to overcome the im-

pact from wind or vibrations is to

choose smart cameras that stabilize

the image electronically, before the

video analytic rules are applied. Look

for cameras that use electronic or gyro-

based stabilizers as a foundation for

their detection capabilities.

Avoid server based video analytics outdoors

If its imager is a thermal camera’s

eyes, image processing is its brain.

It is image processing that turns what

is essentially a passive surveillance tool

into an active security device, detecting

motion and recognizing targets under

any conditions.

Cameras which employ both a

high degree of image processing and

on-board video analytics have a great

advantage in accuracy and detection

distance over solutions that employ

analytics on a server, outside of the

camera.

For one, cameras without embed-

ded analytics must compress the video

data for transmission over the network.

That’s a problem because compression

removes most of the finer scene de-

tails – up to 99% of the original data

– seriously degrading a video analytic

system’s ability to accurately detect

and recognize targets. In fact, on days

with restricted visibility due to rain or

fog, data compression has caused smart

cameras to miss virtually all intruders

in a scene.

On the other hand, when the un-

compressed imagery is processed in the

camera, 100% of the raw scene data is

available for analysis. With on-board

image processors examining the full

visual detail of every video frame, you

can achieve a much greater degree of

accuracy in detecting motion and rec-

ognizing potential threats.

Integrating the imager directly with

the video analytics – inside the camera

enclosure, with a high degree of pro-

cessing the edge – is the cornerstone of

a smart camera’s ability to accurately

detect targets in the outdoor environ-

ment.

Strategies to increase probability of detection

Smart video systems are a great way

to protect outdoor assets, but the

system has little value if people can en-

ter a secured area undetected. Here are

some pointers to avoid gaps in cover-

age and make sure your system detects

every time.

Determine your camera’s true detection range

A perimeter security system based

on video analytics operates by

‘seeing’ targets that move into a cam-

era’s detection area; knowing the cam-

era’s true range lets design a depend-

able system with no coverage gaps.

Unfortunately some manufacturers

specify camera ranges that overstate

their detection capabilities. This means

it’s up to the integrator to determine

the camera’s true detection distances;

otherwise your perimeter solution may

leave gaping holes that can allow in-

truders to pass through undetected.

The best practice to determine

a camera’s true detection range is to

measure the farthest distance at which

the camera can automatically detect a

person walking ‘inbound’ or directly

toward the camera, as shown in Figure

3. Inbound detection is always less than

crossfield because a person moving

C M Y K

white paper

Figure 4: Covering each blind spot eliminates gaps in coverage

Figure 3: Inbound targets determine a camera’s true detection distance

across the camera’s field of view cre-

ates a larger amount of motion, which

is easier to detect. In contrast, a person

walking toward the camera produces

very little motion, making the target

more difficult to detect. In the real

world, intruders can enter a perimeter

from any direction, so it’s important to

design the system for all situations.

Adjusting for challenging weather environments

For a conservative design that allows

smart camera to detect reliably in

less-than ideal conditions, it’s a good

idea to de-rate the distances to 80% of

a smart camera’s normal inbound detec-

tion range. In areas of extreme weather

and heavy fog, further de-rating may be

advised.

At one time such de-rating was cost

prohibitive, but now that thermal cam-

era prices have fallen so dramatically,

and there is no longer a large cost dif-

ference between longer- and shorter-

range smart cameras such an approach

makes good security and good business

sense.

Cover the blind spot

A camera’s field of view doesn’t be-

gin where it’s mounted. Instead it

can only detect at a measurable distance

in front – this is the blind spot. Every

security camera has a blind spot, and

this must be considered in the perim-

eter security design, or someone will be

able to walk right under a camera un-

detected.

Some outdoor surveillance designs

will narrow a security camera’s field of

view to increase the camera’s detection

distance in an effort to decrease costs.

This is not necessarily a bad concept,

but it’s important to understand that do-

ing so also makes the blind spot under

the camera larger, sometimes doubling

the number of cameras required.

To provide complete coverage, the

view of each camera must be designed

to cover the adjacent camera’s blind

spot, as shown in Figure 4.

Perimeter design software can help

Some manufacturers offer design

tools that can help you model a

camera layout using a Google map of

the area under consideration. This is a

good practice to check detection dis-

tances ahead of time and ensure that

blind spots are properly addressed.

SightLogix offers such a tool, called

SightSurvey.

Conclusion

Today’s smart video is an ideal so-

lution to the new challenges in

site protection that confront security

professionals. It

outperforms older

technologies by

a wide margin. It

often costs less.

Installation is less

disruptive, and

the technology is

highly reliable. Essentially, a smart

video security system is a force multi-

plier, taking the burden of monotonous

surveillance off regular security staff.

Instead of just watching endless video

feeds, the staff gets information that

lets them do their jobs better. When de-

ployed using best practices of product

selection and installation, smart ther-

mal video is the obvious choice for out-

door site security applications.

application/ case study

Krakow is the second largest and

one of the oldest cities in Poland

and the International Conference and

Entertainment Centre (ICE) Krakow is

the business and cultural flagship of this

beautiful city. The stunning view from

the ICE provides its visitors a glance at

some of Krakow’s most famous land-

marks. The ICE hosts conferences, ex-

hibitions, parties, seminars and concerts

big and small, with audiences ranging

from a few dozen to several thousand.

The changing space arrangements and

the wide range of different events pose

challenges to assuring audiences are

safe and secure at all times while enjoy-

ing best sound and acoustics.

Its larger venues present a special

challenge to designers of evacuation

systems. On the one hand, the sound

coming from the evacuation speakers

must be loud and intelligible to inform

every guest clearly as to what he/she

should do. On the other hand, the speak-

ers should be unobtrusive, blending into

the background rather than in-

fluencing the feel of the perfor-

mance or audience space.

In Krakow, designers found

the right mix – thanks to hemi-

spheric loudspeakers from

Bosch, which are part of a Bosch

Praesideo Public Address and

Voice Evacuation system. As

a technician puts it: “If we had

deployed standard loudspeakers

for the evacuation system, we

would have needed quite a few

to establish an even sound coverage for

the entire building. By using the hemi-

spheric ones placed underneath the roof,

five loudspeakers were enough to do the

job, blending in discreetly with the room

aesthetics.” The evacuation system was

just one part of a comprehensive secu-

rity and communications package at ICE

built by Bosch. Almost the complete

range of Bosch’s security and communi-

cation system portfolio is installed: not

just evacuation, but also fire detection,

video surveillance, public address, in-

trusion alarms, access control as well as

conferencing systems.

The video surveillance in the facil-

ity is based on Bosch Video Manage-

ment System as well as different types

of cameras. Some of the cameras are the

FLEXIDOME IP panoramic 7000 cam-

eras offering 12-megapixel sensor reso-

lution and high frame rates combined

with a fish-eye lens. These cameras pro-

vide a complete 180-degree or 360-de-

gree overview without blind spots and

enable easy capture of moving objects.

fire detectors.

All of them were in top form for

an extraordinary event that convened

for ten full days in July: the United Na-

tions’ annual Convention for the Pro-

tection of World Cultural and Natural

Heritage. This is the group that nomi-

nates places to be protected as areas of

great cultural or natural significance,

such as Stonehenge, Glacier Bay or the

Great Barrier Reef.

Attending the UNESCO

meeting were 1,966 dele-

gates, another 1,000 service-

providers and journalists

and some 700 police and

security agents. Nearly 50

‘side events’ accompanied

the 35 main meetings held

at the ICE, over 20,000 pub-

lications were used, and the

audio-visual systems were

– understandably – in

heavy use.

At the heart of the multi-lin-

gual communication, managing

simultaneous interpretations, was

an advanced conferencing solu-

tion from Bosch, with the Integrus

language distribution system and

the DCN conferencing solution

(receivers for up to 1,500 partici-

pants). As one of the technicians

noted, these provide great flexibil-

ity, covering multiple rooms and

allowing easy switches from one room

to the other.

Also, critical to smooth operation

of the event was access control. In to-

day’s tense political climate, security

must be tight not only within the venue,

but outside in the access and parking

areas. Bosch’s systems helped support

and coordinate this, without ICE need-

ing to lay on more guards and security

agents.

Since its opening in 1994, Samsung

Medical Center (SMC) has been the

leader in all fields of medicine, ranging

from treatment, research, education to

medical service and is the pioneer of ad-

vancements in the Korean medical field.

SMC is currently recognized as the most

remarkable hospital in Korea. The hos-

pital is composed of the Main Build-

ing, Annex, Cancer Hospital and Proton

Center, and there are plans to expand its

facilities with the new Outpatient Treat-

ment Center.

As of 2016, the hospital had nearly

7,800 employees, 1,979 beds and a daily

average of nearly 8,000 outpatients,

and with the objective of establishing a

world-class medical complex by 2020,

hanwha techwin, performance is our Foundation!

Reliable A/S System Enables Safe Monitoring even in Large Hospitals

C M Y K

C M Y K



SMC is pursuing the enhancement of

Korea’s medical competitiveness as well

as becoming a global medical hub link-

ing the medical and bio industries to-

gether.

The Challenge

As SMC comprises a massive area

where various emergencies may

occur and a large number of patients and

visitors come and go, continuous inspec-

tion of its systems and periodic system

renewal was mandatory. Therefore, it

was critical to select a partner capable

of providing outstanding performance as

well as a reliable A/S system.

Solution

Currently, Hanwha Techwin prod-

ucts are installed in every building

including the Main Building, Annex,

Cancer Hospital, Emergency Room,

Proton Center, SMC’s Future Medicine

Hall, etc. Each product was installed to

monitor the safety of visitors and pa-

tients and to manage various facilities.

In hallways, waiting rooms, treat-

ment rooms and wards, which compose

the majority of space in each building,

dome cameras in the Wisenet lineup,

SND-6084 (Wisenet III) and SND-

L6083R (Wisenet Lite) are installed.

Both models are small interior dome-

type cameras that do not clash with

the interior or make patients or visitors

uncomfortable, and they are capable of

transferring stable compressed video in

Full HD resolution.

In particular, SND-6084 supports

the P-Iris function, which is capable of

monitoring far and near objects clearly,

allowing for prompt response to po-

tential accidents indoors. The SND-

L6083R includes a Hallway View func-

tion that provides an image with vertical

expansion utilizing the 9:16 ratio which

optimizes monitoring performance even

in narrow passages such as hallways

connecting treatment rooms and wards.

At hospital entrances, lobbies with

revolving doors, products capable of

fast monitoring over large areas were

required due to the large floating popu-

lation. SNP-6320 and SNP-6320RH are

32x (4.44 - 142.6mm) network cameras

with a powerful zoom and a fast lens rev-

olution speed which are ideal for moni-

toring such areas.

Equipped with IR LED, SNP-

6320RH minimizes blind spots as it can

identify targets even in areas with lim-

ited or nearly no light, making it ideal

for underground parking lot entrances

and isolated building area applications.

Result

A staff of SMC stated, “We’ve been

using Hanwha Techwin’s security

products since the hospital’s opening.

Many other companies have been con-

sidered as candidates whenever a system

renewal is required since the time when

analog products were used, but we have

chosen to use products and solutions

from Hanwha Techwin up to pre-

sent day.” The staff further added,

“As the hospital is massive, even

employees take months to become

fully familiar with its structure. It

is key to be able to properly moni-

tor and manage this massive area.

So, good performance is a must.

It is the foundation for everything.

As Hanwha Techwin has a prod-

uct lineup with variable products

and a reliable A/S system, it is

one of the first companies we con-

sider when a system renewal is

required.”

As the four seasons hotel and private

residences One Dalton Street rises

to claim its place on the Boston skyline,

with details inside the building also tak-

ing form. One Dalton developer, Rich-

ard L. Friedman, President and CEO,

Carpenter & Company, set out to find

the most innovative companies in the

security industry, for tasking them with

developing a plan for Boston’s tallest

residential building.

The result of Friedman’s search is

three key partnerships: former Head of

the U.S. Secret Service Mark Sullivan,

now principal and co-founder of Global

Security & Innovative Strategies (GSIS);

Evolv Technology; and industry-leading

video management software company

Milestone Systems.

“We plan to offer luxury in all

forms at One Dalton, everything from

24-hour room service and a stellar spa

to a seamless and safe security plan. As

always, we are looking ahead for the

ideas and technology that will continue

to set our building apart and make liv-

ing at One Dalton a premier experience

on every level. Partnering with GSIS,

Evolv Technology and Milestone Sys-

tems is really next-level thinking for

us,” Friedman said.

Friedman met Mark Sullivan dur-

ing President Bill Clinton’s visits to

his house on Martha’s Vineyard. After

Sullivan concluded his federal service,

he co-founded GSIS, a company that

leverages its extensive private and

public sector, homeland and public

security, and international expertise to

provide comprehensive solutions for

its clients. Sullivan has been tasked

to oversee the security plan for One

Dalton which includes security as-

sessments, design, implementation

and advisory services. On Sullivan’s

recommendation, One Dalton is incor-

porating cutting-edge technology from

Evolv Technology and Milestone Sys-

tems to provide a superior surveillance

system.

Evolv Technology is a technology

startup founded by Boston-based secu-

rity and technology veterans Mike El-

lenbogen and Anil Chitkara. Focused

on rethinking physical security, Evolv

uses advanced sensing and deep learn-

ing to ensure a threat-free environment

while balancing the everyday pace of

life. Evolv’s flexible, risk-based screen-

ing approach fulfills the needs of state-

of-the-art facilities like One Dalton. The

company’s experienced leaders, along-

side an advisory board of security vet-

erans from the Department of Homeland

Security, CIA, TSA and the U.S. Secret

Service have created products designed

to address today’s emerging threats. One

Dalton will be the first residential build-

ing to utilize Evolv’s revolutionary tech-

nology.

It was a natural fit to have Milestone

Systems, the world-leading provider

of open platform IP video manage-

ment software (VMS), as part of this

exceptional team. The company’s solu-

tions increase overall safety and opti-

mal operations through comprehensive

management and distribution of digital

video data. High performance network

video recorders and the video monitor-

Honeywell has recently introduced

an enhanced version of Honeywell

digital video manager (DVM) that offers

smarter security and surveillance capa-

bilities for today’s increasingly complex

building environments. The new release,

DVM R620, enables organizations to

more easily secure large-scale security

operations with features that improve

operator efficiency and situational

awareness for faster incident identifica-

tion and resolution, and power more ac-

curate and reliable security operations.

DVM R620 is well suited for a range

of facilities including complex security

installations with stringent requirements

such as airports, correctional facilities,

hospitals, higher education campuses,

and smart cities. It features an enhanced

user interface and includes major up-

dates to how operators can capture,

access and manage live and recorded

video, reliably and efficiently. Based on

a highly available distributed architec-

ture, the system features edge recording

playback and backfill capabilities, cap-

turing video footage on camera memory

cards, and then backfilling the footage

to the system’s main server. These fea-

tures make the system more resilient in

response to interruptions ranging from

routine system maintenance, to network

or server failures and cybersecurity is-

sues, and ensure cameras more consist-

ently and reliably capture video footage,

wherever they are located.

In addition, DVM R620 includes an

improved and more intuitive user inter-

face and features that improve the user

experience, making it easier to learn and

operate, which helps improve operator

productivity for faster incident response.

New productivity features include book-

marking, which lets operators easily an-

notate and navigate video footage. This

enables faster footage identification

and retrieval for evidentiary purposes –

critical in today’s security environments,

which can include thousands of cameras

capturing hours of footage.

“As buildings become smarter, driv-

en by trends like the Internet of Things

and the increasingly connected world,

security operations must follow suit.

This can be a tall order, however, when

you consider the scope and size of to-

day’s connected organizations – and the

number of cameras and other endpoints

personnel must manage,” said Aseem

Joshi, Country General Manager, Hon-

eywell Building Solutions, India, “DVM

R620 serves as a conduit for improved

operator productivity and risk mitiga-

tion, leveraging connectivity for smarter

surveillance that can more easily grow

and expand as needs change and evolve.”

DVM R620 also supports open

standards like the Open Network Video

Interface Forum (ONVIF) standard,

driving deeper levels of interoperabil-

ity and connectivity so organizations

can more easily integrate an even wider

range of video cameras and third-party

systems like analytics as they adapt to

changing security threats.

In addition to improved resiliency,

usability and interoperability, DVM

R620 enables organizations to:

● Seamlessly authenticate video foot-

age: When exporting video for evi-

dence purposes, operators can add

watermarks or use digital signatures

to prove video authenticity and its

source, reducing the need for third-

party applications.

● Keep footage secure: DVM R620 ex-

ports footage in password-protected

files to promote safety and security.

Digital Video Manager connects organizations to smarter security and surveillance

● Use network and hardware re-

sources more efficiently: The sys-

tem uses a lower resolution for video

streams, freeing up valuable network

bandwidth and requiring less from

individual monitors for decompress-

ing and video rendering. As a result,

organizations can lower hardware

costs and view more cameras within

a single view.

DVM is a component of Hon-

eywell Enterprise Buildings Integra-

tor (EBI), an award-winning building

management system that ties all as-

pects of a security solution together,

including video surveillance, access

control, and intrusion detection. EBI

also integrates comfort, life safety, en-

ergy and other core facility controls,

providing users a single point of ac-

cess to the essential information and

resources needed to monitor, manage

and protect a facility, campus or mul-

ti-site operation. As a result, security

operators have improved visibility and

intelligence, and the ability to deploy

their staff and resources more effi-

ciently and effectively.

DVM and EBI are designed to work

with systems from Honeywell Home

and Building Technologies, which cre-

ates products, software and technologies

found in more than 10 million buildings

worldwide. Its connected buildings ser-

vices help make facilities more comfort-

able, intuitive and productive.

IndigoVision and Canberra Centre in

Australia have an ongoing business

relationship dating back to 2006 when

IndigoVision was first selected for their

knowledge in IP security.

In July 2017 the Canberra Centre

expanded their already sizeable mall in

the heart of Canberra’s CBD, with the

Monaro Mall precinct, named in recog-

nition of the original Monaro Mall that

opened on the same site in 1963. With

the addition of the Monaro Mall precinct

the Canberra Centre needed to expand

their existing security solution to meet

the growing demands of retail business-

es which include visibility and situation

awareness across entrances, exits and

main mall concourses.

Solution

IndigoVision Partner H3C Plus en-

sured that the solution for the Mon-

aro Mall would integrate seamlessly

into the existing centre’s infrastructure.

Faced with a number of complex net-

work infrastructure hurdles, H3C PLUS

provided a solution to overcome these

hurdles and deployed a robust fibre op-

tic and copper backbone to facilitate the

build.

As part of the Monaro Mall precinct

expansion, 75 BX420 HD Minidome

cameras were added to the existing 143

BX400 HD Minidome cameras and 364

analogue cameras (brought to IP by In-

digoVision encoders) installed on the

site. This is made possible with Indigo-

Vision’s distributed network architecture

(DNA), which allows backwards com-

patibly that is truly scalable with addi-

tional products being added as and when

required. High quality imagery from

the BX HD Minidome cameras allows

the Canberra Centre to review incidents

within retail businesses and WHS ar-

eas, which include shoplifting and slips

and falls in common areas like the food

courts and escalators.

All managed from the main securi-

ty control room, powered by IndigoVi-

sion’s security management software,

control center, and video wall. The In-

digoVision Enterprise NVR-AS 4000

60TB gives footage a 60 day retention,

and high level third party integration

with the Skidata parking manage-

ment system through their SDK allows

the boom gate and pay station to be

viewed in Control Center, increasing

visibility. The opening of the wellness

and beauty precinct on the ground

floor at the Monaro Mall precinct is

the first phase; with the second phase

expanding the lifestyle and homeware

precinct on the first floor due for com-

pletion in October 2017. With scalabil-

ity, flexibility and the right products

the Canberra Centre can be assured

that IndigoVision always have them

covered.

Benefits● IndigoVision’s unique distributed

network architecture increases reli-

ability and resilience with no single

point of failure.

● High definition (HD) video stand-

ard including 720p (1280x720) and

1080p (1920x1080).

● Analytics algorithms bring signifi-

cant benefits in both live-monitored

and incident review operations.

● IndigoVision H.264 optimised H.264

video codec results in lower band-

width and reduced storage require-

ments.

● High level third party integration

through the SDK allows events and

alarms from the Skidata parking

management system to be forwarded

into Control Center.

The Manchester-Boston Regional Air-

port faced a lengthy decision-making

process when it came to security camera

manufacturers, requiring products able to

support the unique applications and varied

environment of the airport. The security

team monitored a range of spaces both in

and outdoors, and required products that

excelled under all of the varying situations

and lighting conditions. The selected cam-

eras needed to provide full high definition

video across multiple open areas, while

also delivering detailed, close-up images

within busy, crowded spaces.

The airport’s FAA grant included

stipulations regarding the types of prod-

ucts that could be purchased with the

supplied funds, specifying that the se-

lected system must qualify under the

‘Buy American’ standard. This provision

meant that all potential selections not

only meet the technical requirements,

but also be Made in USA.

The process

After a year of exploring the market,

the client determined that Arecont

Vision was the only manufacturer that

not only satisfied the ‘Buy American’

stipulation, but did so without sacrific-

ing the airport’s fundamental security

requirements by providing a wide range

of high resolution megapixel cameras.

Once Manchester-Boston Regional

Airport chose Arecont Vision cameras as

the foundation for their security system,

they began to collaborate with On-Net

Surveillance Systems, Inc. (OnSSI) to sup-

ply the video management system (VMS).

OnSSI is an Arecont Vision Technology

Partner Program member, with many joint

customers around the world, demonstrat-

ing proven integration between the two

company’s products and support services.

Securadyne Systems was selected as the

systems integrator.

The Arecont Vision SurroundVideo®

multi-sensor camera series piqued the

security team’s interest for its 180°

panoramic capabilities. The placement

of SurroundVideo cameras was made to

provide comprehensive coverage.

For locations that required a sin-

gle coverage view, the security team

chose cameras from the Arecont Vision

MegaDome® series, which are equipped

with a wide range of innovative features

such as low light capabilities, and remote

focus and zoom which all proved crucial to

the airport’s requirements. Casino Mode™

is available in the 1080p versions of the

MegaDome series, a feature that proved

to be as useful at the Manchester-Boston

TSA checkpoints as it is in a Las Vegas ca-

sino. Casino Mode guarantees 30 frames

per second to capture every detail on fast-

action applications, an incredibly effective

tool when investigating security situations

involving many complex, small move-

ments for both live and forensic viewing.

The result

Manchester-Boston Regional Air-

port has installed over one hun-

dred and fifty Arecont Vision cameras,

and the video surveillance system is

continuing to grow. The latest installa-

tion of Arecont Vision products includ-

ed the lower level of a parking garage

as well as a newly renovated passenger

checkpoint area. SurroundVideo 180°

cameras were utilized in the latter situa-

tion due to the client’s satisfaction with

stitching together images from multiple

180°s. Paul Mueller, Manchester-Bos-

ton Regional Airport’s Security Man-

ager stated, “We were sure to go back to

Arecont Vision during this process. We

have had a good working relationship

with them for the past five years, and

they enable us to use less cameras while

still maintaining full view of inspection

areas.”

When asked if there are any specific

incidents in which Arecont Vision cam-

eras proved useful, Mr. Mueller respond-

ed, “Every other day we use the cameras

to investigate criminal or worker con-

cerns. We go back and monitor them for

possible safety issues on the ramps, for

passenger interaction, and for worker in-

teractions. Anytime someone expresses

a concern to me, they can come in and

we can watch the footage together. I

try to make sure that the option to view

footage is fairly transparent, which has

proved very useful to everyone.”

Arecont Vision cameras are moni-

tored 24/7 in the airport’s communica-

tions center. Primary views are displayed

and monitored all the time, while others

can be pulled up and played back as is-

sues arise. The system also allows for

particular divisions within the Manches-

ter-Boston Regional Airport to monitor

cameras that are applicable to their work

such as in the parking garage.

Smiths Detection, has been selected

to supply innovative solutions for

people screening and search functions

in Tokyo’s Narita International Airport.

Narita has chosen to install 13 of Smiths

Detection’s eqo portals following a na-

tional directive from the Japan Civil Avi-

ation Bureau (JCAB) to upgrade check-

point security to comply with the latest

international standards. The eqo solution

will help enhance security, productivity

and passenger experience.

Using unique, flat-panel millimetre

the-art people screening detection capa-

bility with a minimal footprint. It allows

checkpoints to evolve from mechanical

Secures Japan’s Narita Airportscreening to electronically steered tech-

nology, offering better image quality and

system reliability. As a result, this reli-

able and easily serviceable system helps

reduce the burden of security screening

in airports.

“More than 20 million visitors en-

tered Japan last year and this number is

expected to increase due to the Rugby

World Cup in 2019 and Tokyo Olympic

and Paralympic games in 2020,” com-

mented, Nathan Manzi, Vice President

of Asia Pacific at Smiths Detection, “For

this reason, Japan’s International airports

are seeking to increase and strengthen

the effectiveness of the security process

while ensuring that passengers move

quickly and seamlessly through them.

Narita selected our eqo solution as it

offers a small footprint and the highest

passenger throughput comparable to al-

ternative products in the market.”

By implementing eqo, airports have

a rapid means of detecting concealed

objects using the system’s real-time au-

tomated detection interface. eqo’s multi-

material detection abilities help reveal

any concealed objects, such as metals,

liquids and narcotics, which can com-

promise aircraft safety. Due to its small

footprint dimensions, eqo can be eas-

ily integrated into existing checkpoints

without requiring major alterations to

standard layouts and operations.

Founded in France, Carrefour is one of the largest hyper-

market chains in the world, and one of the popular hy-

permarkets in the region.

In order to create a safe and comfortable shopping envi-

ronment, the Carrefour Hypermarket in Deira Dubai chose

Uniview video surveillance solution. More than 200 UNV

IP cameras are installed in and around the mall, covering

the whole shopping areas, including the stairs, the eleva-

tors and the cashiers etc. UNV NVR516 is used for man-

agement and storage. Six decoders and one keyboard are

adopted in the solution as well. With UNV VMS – EZSta-

tion, security managers are able to oversee the whole areas

in the central control room.

HighlightsHighleveldatasafety:redundantdesignandRAIDNVR

In order to keep the system working with highest safety

level, NVR516 provides redundant power supply in case of

electricity failure. For data storage, NVR516 provides dif-

ferent redundant arrays of independent disks like RAID 0,

1, 5, 6, 10. Even if one of the HDD is broken by chance,

NVR can prevent the data missing and rebuild RAID within

a short time. In the Carrefour Hypermarket solution, 3 piec-

es of NVR516 are used, out of which 2 are used for storage,

and the third one is regarded as back-up NVR, which en-

sures the whole system remains running in the most stable

and reliable way.

Ease of use: User-friendly EZStation system

With casual and ever changing staff, it requires the op-

erations to be simple so that no extra training is needed

when someone else is accessing the system. Uniview has

fine-tuned the GUI and the EZStation to be user friendly

and intuitive.

Functionality: smart functions

UNV NVR and camera support intrusion detection. By

setting a restricted area beforehand, it can detect if any-

one enters the restricted zone at any time and can send an

alarm. It is especially useful to prevent theft at night when

the hypermarket is closed. With a massive people flow in

hypermarkets like Carrefour, people counting function is

especially usefuls. Hence, managers can reasonably reor-

ganize employees’ working time so as to save cost. Moreo-

ver, when searching video record, UNV NVR516 enables

security staffs to search quickly with smart search func-

tions. All of these smart functions bring great convenience

to customers.

The on-board analytics and the ability to save time with

features such as Smart Search are huge pluses.

south-west Finland, approximately

175 kilometres north-west of Helsinki.

The third-largest city in Finland is situ-

ated between two lakes and is the most

populous inland city in Scandinavia with

around 225,000 inhabitants.

Important healthcare provider

Tampere University Hospital is re-

sponsible for the comprehensive

provision of healthcare in the city and

its wider surroundings. The hospital of-

fers complex, specialist care services

for a region where around one million

Finns live. The services on offer cover

virtually all medical disciplines, from

emergency care all the way through to

rehabilitation. In addition to outstand-

ing care, Tampere University Hospital

also provides training and conducts re-

search.

Building for the future

In order to be able to meet future treat-

ment needs, Tampere University Hos-

pital is currently being renovated and ex-

panded. A total of 40,000 m2 of floor space

in three existing wings is being renovated,

whilst four additional buildings and an

underground car park covering a total of

98,000 m2 are being newly built. Securi-

ton was commissioned with protecting the

Hogarth Worldwide, a fast-growing

global marketing implementation

agency, has enhanced its StorNext®-

powered storage environment with an

Xcellis® workflow storage system, in-

cluding QXS™ high-performance disk.

Providing independent performance and

capacity scaling – as well as low-cost,

long-term content preservation – the

end-to-end storage solution has enabled

Hogarth to maintain a highly efficient

and collaborative production operation

as its business continues to grow around

the world.

Remarkable growth demands swift scalability

Working closely with ad depart-

ments in major corporations

and with creative agencies, Hogarth

produces advertising and other market-

ing communications content across all

media and all languages. The agency

relies on StorNext to support efficient

delivery of high-quality services includ-

ing broadcast, print and digital produc-

tion, postproduction, CGI and language

localization.

“One constant since Hogarth’s early

days has been Quantum’s StorNext,”

said Nick Wood, Production Systems

Manager at Hogarth, “We started con-

verting Xsan environments to StorNext

very early to take advantage of its flexi-

bility, performance and scale, and it ena-

bled our teams to collaborate on projects

while working on any platform – Mac,

Linux or Windows. Today, 12

of our offices already have

full StorNext environments

installed.

“With StorNext, we know

we can quickly add disk ca-

pacity for an office if the

workload sees a surge, and

we can expand the system al-

most instantaneously to add

more workstations. We’ve

had to do that – expand from

five or six workstations to 40

for a big project – and StorNext makes

it easy.”

While Hogarth’s technical infra-

structure and workflow have helped it

become one of the world’s top postpro-

duction houses, rapid growth – a dou-

bling of its staff in the past year – and

the frequent need to scale up quickly to

handle increasingly data-intensive pro-

jects necessitated an expansion of its

StorNext foundation.

StorNext powers flexible end-to-end workflow

Working with Quantum and inte-

grator-partner Trams, Hogarth

recently upgraded its environment with

a StorNext-powered Xcellis workflow

storage solution.

The new Xcellis system not only al-

lows the agency to scale performance

and capacity independently but also sup-

ports use of network-attached storage

(NAS) as part of the storage pool. The

actual transition to Xcellis took just a

couple of hours, with no impact on the

work or experience of Hogarth’s produc-

tion teams.

Reliability, performance and flexibility fuel efficiencies

Within the StorNext environment,

Hogarth has been able to lever-

age its existing investments across Mac,

Linux and Windows platforms while

taking advantage of multiple storage

tiers to optimize its use and expansion

of both storage performance and capac-

ity. StorNext’s industry-leading stream-

ing performance enables the agency to

maintain a highly efficient, collaborative

workflow with shorter design cycles.

“We are a real workflow company,

and StorNext provides the most flexible,

powerful end-to-end workflow system

available anywhere,” said Wood, “There

is no way we could have done what we

have without it.”
