Outcome Of The Mega Merger And Its Impact On Security Systems With the Oil and Natural Gas Corporation (ONGC) keen on acquiring Hindustan Petroleum Corporation (HPCL), the Centre will have every reason to be pleased. For integrated oil companies, a lot depends on oil price levels and how best companies are able to hedge against price movements. With oil prices likely to remain low given a slowdown in the global economy and excess supply, a merger with HPCL would give ONGC much-needed growth. Similarly, for HPCL it would need to lock its oil supply as it goes on an expansion spree. There is a great opportunity for the security companies to develop thermal security products. Terrorists don’t care if it’s night, day, rainy or snowy when they attack. With threats coming in from all angles, via land, sea and air, thermal imaging cameras with full pan tilt zoom capability can get the job done in any conditions with no restrictions as thermal imaging surveillance cameras work in total darkness and low light conditions, and outperform most night vision systems. These infrared security cameras are also integrated into existing border security systems to provide the ultimate in surveillance, 24/7. Meanwhile in Perimeter Security, the system intelligently differentiates between serious breaches and disturbances by wildlife, birds or harsh weather conditions. False alarms are prevented and intruders are unable to use the cover of adverse weather to breach the fence undetected. When a fence sensor is triggered an alarm will activate for that zone, allowing guards to immediately focus their attention where it’s most needed. One thing is for certain, there has been a lot of progress made in the fire protection industry over the years. New technologies have emerged over the past few years that we want to highlight for you as possible solutions for old and new applications.

AUGUST 2017

Continuing with our legacy of acquiring insights from industry professionals on various aspects of security systems, in our current issue, we have focused on diverse range of security systems primarily in the Oil and Gas sector. We have made an attempt to collate and elaborate the trends in various segments including Personal Protection Equipment, Fire Protection Equipment, Thermal Cameras, Perimeter Security and Distribution Business in Security Products in the oil and gas sector.

Kudos to a&s India I really appreciate the professional decorum maintained by a&s India in bridging the OEMs and Entrepreneurs, As a digital security solution integrator from Bangalore with 7 years experience, I always search for new products with updated versions and quality, for suppliers who keep surfing the internet and fail to reach them for correct contact details, but doesn’t happen. With a&s, once you glance through it, you feel your search ends here. It’s here where products are updated in detail on regular basis. In addition to it, the segments like Corporate News, New Features and Updated Product Showcase help understand the new versions of products. I wish you can add one more segment, which will help in solving technical issues written by experts with QandA. --Yogesh N, Garuda Secutech, Bengaluru

I have been reading a&s India magazine for a very long time. I like reading about the security cameras market and also about the security gadgets that are launched by different companies. The magazine also gives an in depth knowledge about the security world, both in Homeland security and Fire protection. I would like to suggest the team to provide security agency list that will be helpful to end users. --Piyush Patel, Coconut Grove Beach Resorts Pvt. Ltd., Goa

I am a distributor of security systems based out in Mumbai. The security industry is growing rapidly in India. Given the growing directives of governmental agencies in ensuring the safety and security within institutions and companies, the opportunities have increased in multitudes for all stakeholders involved in the security business. This demand also invites addition

of innovative product line to the bouquet of products that OEMs already have. The magazine helps me to understand better the trends in the security system in the industry and provides with the needed insights that helps me in getting a preview of the trend and make better decisions conducting in-depth research on the topics that concern me. --Ramesh Shah, Ahmedabad a&s India is must for all security professionals as they get industry related updates. We can find new suppliers on a regular basis, awareness about the emerging technologies and new products. I like the exhibition directory, and get my copy regularly. --Hiren Patel, ITDH Venture, Kolkata Critical Infrastructure Security Increased instances of physical attacks, such as terrorist activities, thefts, and intrusion drones, and cyber-attacks which include malware, ransomware, virus and Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs) have driven the need for large-scale adoption of CIP security devices and services. However, the lack of technical expertise and industrial control system awareness limits the growth of the market. The consulting services are helping clients in designing and implementing CIP programs, developing capital investment strategies, assessing and monitoring infrastructures and meeting compliances and standards. Thus, the consulting services segment is expected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period. However, the maintenance and support services segment is expected to have the largest market size in 2017. Major oil field projects are set up in Middle East and Africa (MEA), which require

protection from physical attacks, cyberattacks, and natural disasters. The MEA government and private customers are adopting best-in-class CIP systems, such as video surveillance systems, radars, command and control systems, access control systems, cybersecurity systems and solutions, which have helped in the proliferation of the CIP market in the MEA region. The services segment is also growing at a high rate in the MEA region, as the risk assessment, incident response, maintenance and support, and consulting services are helping the critical site managers to keep their assets safe from threats. --Sanjay Rai, Delhi

Zendesk India is on a growth trajectory and we have always been open to complementary solutions that can support our growth in the region. Based on industry insights garnered from consumer research and feedback from our customers in India, we felt the need for voice to further empower our customers. We are excited to be partnering with Exotel in an effort to provide more comprehensive solutions in customer support.

Global Traffic Technologies, LLC (GTT) has provided the city of Lévis, Quebec, with a latest-generation Opticom™ traffic preemption solution. The Opticom system works alongside intersection controllers to help ensure emergency vehicles can move through intersections quickly and safely.

Lévis residents and emergency service personnel will all benefit from the deployment of this Opticom EVP system, and GTT is proud to work with the city to help improve both operational safety and response times for emergency vehicles.

Jason Lund,

President, GTT

Exotel announced their partnership with Zendesk to provide end to end multichannel support to Zendesk’s customers in India. With this new partnership, Zendesk will include Exotel’s Voice Platform as a part of its customer support offerings in the region. Exotel will provide these solutions with an aim to extend comprehensive customer friendly solutions that are more meaningful, personal and effective in the Indian market. Exotel will be integrated through the Zendesk API to facilitate phone support from the same Zendesk family of products businesses currently use to manage all other channels. With full customer history, automatic ticket creation and call recording, this integration will allow agents to focus on conversations rather than workflow.

When an emergency vehicle needs to navigate an intersection, the Opticom Emergency Vehicle Preemption (EVP) system onboard the emergency vehicle sends a request to the intersection’s controller ahead of its arrival. If the request is granted, the light turns green and the vehicle gets a clear path through the intersection. In Lévis, the city has equipped 28 intersections and 19 emergency vehicles with the latest EVP technology. The system will allow those emergency vehicles to get to the scene of incidents faster, and to avoid the danger of navigating an intersection against the flow of traffic. The result will be faster overall response times and increased safety for residents and emergency services personnel.

Fire Protection Technologies and Systems The fire protection market is highly fragmented and is majorly dominated by large unorganised players with strong regional presence. Presently, there are only a few players in the organised market with pan India presence. The market is also flooded with counterfeit products and cheap imports from China. However, the Indian market has witnessed the advent of global giants from the fire safety industry over the last decade. The Fire & safety equipment market in India is projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of over 8% during 2016 - 2021 on account of increasing industrialisation, commercialisation and urbanisation. In 2015, firefighting equipment segment was the largest segment in the country’s fire & safety equipment market. The segment grabbed a share of more than 60% in 2015 and is likely to be driven by increasing government focus towards industrialisation, infrastructural development and commercial construction. The industrial sector is expected to hold the largest share in the country’s fire and safety equipment market through 2021. Western Region dominates fire & safety equipment market in India, driven by increasing demand from refineries, petrochemical, city gas distribution and gas based power plants in the region.

and save lives and property. It involves the implementation of safety planning practices and drills, and includes education on fire, research, investigation, safety planning, building construction, safe operations, training and testing of mitigating systems. It’s also a terrifying weapon, with nearly unlimited destructive power. Fire kills more people every year than any other force of nature, therefore the compulsion is must Cost and Quality Considerations for Fire Protection Sometimes a simple fire extinguisher is not enough. Fire can come in many different forms and can require a number of different techniques to minimise damage or prevent injury. Fire extinguishers are a very important part of every fire safety procedure, but there is more to fire protection than you may realise, and there are advantages of fire protection systems. Cost benefit analyses require, on the one hand, costs for the installation, running and maintenance of the system under consideration and, on the other hand, estimates of the value of the net reduction in property damage, injuries and fatalities. Costing of injuries does not raise ethical problems, but there is no universally accepted answer to the question “What is the value of a life?” The advantages of fire protection are worth the investment for your location and for its occupants.

What is the technology behind Cool Magic, is it heat resistant? We at Cool Magic have invested more than 3 years in R&D and introduced our range of cooling apparels. All the apparels are designed in a way so that a person wearing stays dry and doesn’t get any sickness. It gives a soothing cooling effect which works through evaporation and lower the skin temperature up to 15 degrees from the ambient skin temp.

All products are CE certified with all other standards followed as per PPE industry requirements. How user-friendly is Cool Magic? It is the simplest cooling technology introduced for working conditions for both outdoors and indoors. It works on the principle of evaporation which only requires fresh water to activate the cooling. Simply wet the article in water for 1 minute, squeeze out excess water (wipe inner layer with dry cloth if required) and then wear. Stay cool for long hours. Its flexible technology makes it very comfortable to wear during work hours. How affordable and safe is Cool Magic? Oil & Gas is an industry wherein standardised personal protective equipment should be implemented and that’s how this industry encourages the good quality PPE because the comfort of a person is very important and should be considered as safety standards. However, we face difficulty as companies do not consider their workplace’s safety or their workers. At times this results in less productivity and more importantly injuries and death due to lack of attention. Cool Magic being an innovative product helps tackle this issue effectively. Cool Magic provides affordable standardised cooling PPE for one’s health and productivity on the job. Which industries can use Cool Magic apparels? Any sector wherein the ambient temperature is high (indoor or outdoor) can adopt Cool Magic. Especially fire fighting, oil & gas, steel, mining, engine rooms and other manufacturing industries wherein the working ambient temperature is high due to weather and intense activity of the labour. One can use Cool Magic Vests and head gear as a protective measure against heat.

midst growing industry concern and market uncertainties, the government has apparently decided to go ahead with the mega merger of India’s oil sector as was proposed in the Budget. A merger of Hindustan Petroleum Corp. Ltd (HPCL) with Oil and Natural Gas Corp. Ltd (ONGC) would have been a neat structure, combining both businesses with the full benefits of integration available to claim. There would be no cash to be paid or debt to be raised. Instead, ONGC plans to acquire the government’s 51% stake in HPCL. For integrated oil companies, a lot depends on oil price levels and how best companies are able to hedge against price movements. With oil prices likely to remain low given a

Meanwhile CEO & Director at Aditya Infotech Ltd, Aditya Khemka says, “Manned surveillance isn’t always enough and more needs to be done to protect such critical facilities. Coupled with a vigilant security force, state-of-the-art surveillance equipment also needs to be deployed. Care needs to be taken to ensure that the equipment used is explosion proof, heat and oil resistant, tamper proof and antihazardous.” Further adding he said, “Also, in the process, the crude oil travels from its source of exploration, through pipelines and transported to the retail distribution of its derivatives. The product undergoes varying environment. In each process, design requirement of the surveillance changes.

slowdown in the global economy and excess supply, a merger with HPCL would give ONGC much-needed growth. Similarly, for HPCL it would need to lock its oil supply as it goes on an expansion spree. When asked Prama Hikvision MD & CEO, Ashish P. Dhakan said, “The oil and gas industry is amongst the six core industries in India. This industry is a major factor for the growth being witnessed in the Indian economy today. The natural gas and petroleum sector, which is inclusive of refining, transportation, and marketing of these products, contributes about 15% to India's GDP. There is a huge opportunity for security and fire safety solution providers as India’s oil & gas sector is growing in the midstream, downstream and upstream segments.” He further said, “India’s oil consumption grew 8.3 per cent year-on-year to 212.7 million tonnes in 2016, as against the global growth of 1.5 per cent, thereby making it the third-largest oil consuming nation in the world. Amidst all these growth signals there are many challenges staring at Indian Oil & Gas sector. These challenges include internal and external risks.”

This is a major challenge and opportunity at the same time. The sector offers many opportunities for the CCTV equipment for researchers. There are requirements at the material level and feature levels,” he added. According to Harsh Garg Director, Aska, “The oil sector has tremendous scope for fire extinguishers and fire suppression system in electrical panels, switch gear rooms, control rooms and are looking forward for a Halon replacement solution. Corrosion and maintenance of the conventional extinguishers is on going issue. Also, oil industry is looking forward to a solution to neutralise toxic gases. Aska Equipments Ltd is equipped to provide HDPE extinguishers , non pyro based aerosol technology and solution to neutralise H2S and other gases.

In Oil & Gas sector, a strict adherence to standard operating procedures (SOP) and protocols can ensure complete security for Oil & Gas establishment. A different set of guidelines has to be made for downstream, midstream and upstream operations. Ashish P Dhakan, MD & CEO, Prama Hikvision

According to Future Fibre Technologies Country Manager – India, Sanjay Oberoi, “One of the key challenges of India’s Oil & Gas Industry is securing the significant amount of infrastructure that is vulnerable to security breaches. India has over 40,000 kms of operational pipeline carrying crude oil and other refined products. The country has over 22 oil refineries and every refinery has a perimeter. Every pipeline has oil terminals, which are located in and near major town and cities. Every oil terminal has a perimeter. Pipelines have SV stations and booster stations and which again have parameters that need to be secured." Hari Om Sharma, Solus Director & CoFounder says, “Oil & Gas operations face multiple challenges in their operations. Compatibility between various individual physical devices and software, information overload, interoperability and collaboration between different sites across diverse geographical conditions are common challenges that are faced by this sector. Addressing these issues with an advanced

system presents a huge opportunity for companies catering to the security needs of this industry.” Sparsh Director, Sanjeev Sehgal emphasises, “The security system required within the oil and gas infrastructure is required to be explosion proof thereby requiring certain mandatory certifications. Only a few MNC’s thus have been able to provide with such security management systems. If this challenge can be overcome by Indian companies, then there is immense scope of growth in this sector.”

“There are two main types of threat. The more traditional threat is theft of the fuel by digging to reach the pipeline, making a small puncture in the pipe and attaching a valve controlled device to create a low discharge rate that avoids the leak detection system. A new emerging threat relates to thieves trying to extract vital pipeline information directly from Oil & Gas Company staff.

there is a dire need for security systems to protect this sector.” BEST PRACTICES ADOPTED TO SECURE THE SECTOR IN INDIA Highlighting on the issue Ashish P. Dhakan said, “The best practices include 100% compliance of security strategy, plan and HSE guidelines to mitigate risks in Upstreamto-Downstream operations. This involves an integrated security solution based on smart risk mitigation through real time Video Surveillance, Access Control, Intrusion and Perimeter Security. In Oil & Gas sector, a strict adherence to standard operating procedures (SOP) and protocols can ensure complete security for Oil & Gas establishment. A different set of guidelines has to be made for downstream, midstream and upstream operations. ” In Aditya Khemka’s view, “While a robust security system utilising integrated fire & alarm systems is indispensable for an Oil & Gas facility, it is only half the job done. Companies need to further educate their staff and employees on why security is important and how the system at hand can be put to best use with a little vigilance and discipline. The personnel managing the security system need to be trained for both day-to-day monitoring as well as disaster management. These together need to be enforced through a compliance policy.” According to Harsh Garg, "OISD plays a very important role and have laid safety guidelines along with PESO, but Oil industry needs to adopt latest technology where OISD has to implement timely new technologies. The mind set is to have minimum as per OISD guideline and not open to adopt latest technology till listed by OISD.

“A disruption to an oil and gas drilling site, refinery, or storage facility could cost lives and literally billions of dollars. To this end, security should be as strong as possible. Security is not a place to cut corners as even the best-available security solutions cost a fraction relative to the value of the personnel, facilities, and inventory the security solutions protect,” said Jim Simon. In Sanjay Oberoi’s opinion, “The key to securing perimeters is to utilise a multi-layered approach. There is no individual or single technology in the market that will take care of perimeter security on its own. The CCTV cameras, the fence along with the fence-mounted and open area sensors and the response mechanism each play a role in the final solution. The weakest point in any of these layers will ultimately determine the

effectiveness of the total security solution. So, it requires careful planning and a thorough understanding of the site specific characteristics, selection of the individual security elements, and knowledge of how each component or layer plays a role in securing the site.” “While at an operational level Oil & Gas companies follow strict safety and protocols, they need to be protected from external risks from unauthorised visitors. Taking care of perimeter security, installing watertight visitor management systems and access control are important. Since these operations depend on large manpower, installing physical security measures like turnstiles, bollards and scanners is important. Constant video surveillance and responsive systems will help reduce incidents and enable people to take immediate action,” cautioned Hari Om Sharma. Furthermore Naresh Mittal of Yamuna explained, “Working on a low cost and high productivity are the key winning factors for all the industries. O&G sector should work towards the betterment of their talent as well as their labourers, who work in an extreme environment, be it hot or cold. Proper safety equipment along with the climate control apparels should be implemented to keep them healthy and safe. People have to be more cautionary towards one’s work environment and health so that they can be motivated to work and also help reducing the labour cost by increase in productivity.” However, according to Sanjeev Sehgal, “Perimeter protection is the foremost requirement to secure the oil and gas sector. Limited access to critical areas will ensure

safety at the core. The standalone security systems should be integrated into a single unit.” APPLICATION OF LATEST SECURITY SYSTEMS AND SOLUTIONS IN THE SECTOR According to Ashish P. Dhakan, “Hikvision’s new range of explosion-proof cameras utilize 304 and 316L stainless steel housings for maximum corrosion and explosion resistance, and are IP68 water/dust ingress rated. For any surveillance requirement within hazardous environments, or environments where the camera is required to operate within areas with combustible sources, the new explosion proof cameras provide a high-performance and safe imaging solution. Typical applications are in potentially hazardous or explosion risk areas, such as gas & oil processing and storage plants.” Ashish P Dhakan further added, “Hikvision’s range of ultra-low-light explosion-proof camera models boast Hikvision Darkfighter technology, providing minimum illumination as low as to 0.005Lux in colour mode and 0.0005Lux in B/W mode. The result is crystal-clear colour and monochrome images in conditions that would defeat conventional low-light models. The range also comes with progressive scan 2MP and 4MP CMOS image sensors, full HD 1080p video at up to 60 fps, triple video streams, 3D DNR and 120dB WDR. These new cameras support the latest Hikvision H.265+ smart codec technology. Hikvision also has the integrated security solution for Oil & Gas sector, which has an all in one panel including Intrusion Alarm, Access Control and IP solutions.” According to Aditya Khemka, “The latest technology in use is the integrated security solutions. The major components of this system include, perimeter security fencing, access control, gates and barriers, intercom systems,

BEST OIL & GAS SECURITY MANAGEMENT COMPANIES IN INDIA Ashish P. Dhakan explained, “It is not an easy task to guess the role model in the Indian context, but it is inspiring to witness the increasing level of competence and security compliance at public sector and private sector Oil & Gas companies.” In Harsh Garg's view, "ONGC is open to adopt latest technology as compared to other OIL Industry till date. The though process is clear OISD has given minimum guidelines and they adopt the same also and latest technologies." Briefing about the O&G industry Sanjay Oberoi said, “Many Oil & Gas Companies in

The security system required within the oil and gas infrastructure is required to be explosion proof thereby requiring certain mandatory certifications. Only a few MNCs thus have been able to provide with such security management systems. Sanjeev Sehgal, MD, Sparsh

India have already adopted fibre optic based intrusion detection systems like Cairn, IOCL, MRPL, ONGC, HPCL, GAIL, BPCL and Reliance. It seems to us that HPCL has the most experience in deploying fibre optic based intrusion detection systems on their pipelines. HPCL has also released a tender for the deployment of a fibre optic based perimeter intrusion detection system on one of their refineries in Western India.”

One of the key challenges of India’s Oil &Gas Industry is securing the significant amount of infrastructure that is vulnerable to security breaches. India has over 40,000 kms of operational pipeline carrying crude oil and other refined products. Sanjay Oberoi, Country Manager-India, Future Fibre Technologies WAYS TO UPGRADE LEGACY SECURITY SYSTEMS Elaborating on the issue Ashish P. Dhakan said, “The Oil & Gas sector’s security requirements are mission critical in nature, so before planning an upgrade one needs to have a back-up plan. An integrated approach to physical security systems can help the cause of security in a big way. One needs to keep the track of fast evolving security requirements and technology trends.” “The usage of the latest technological systems in the integrated security solutions is the best way to upgrade the system. The major components of this system include, perimeter security fencing, access control, gates and barriers, intercom systems, intrusion detection, public address and maintenance support. All of them can largely be secured with CCTV surveillance with latest in built features, like intrusion

incompatibility and so on.” detection, alert notification features, remote access, HD Quality, and so on,” explained Aditya Khemka. Jim Simon emphasises that the oil and gas sector should audit themselves with the following questions: • Is there visibility to everywhere that the security team desires? If no, add cameras. They are setting new marks for small size and low cost. • Is the quality of video streams the best available such as 4K? If no, upgrade cameras. They are setting new marks for low cost. • Is surveillance video transmitted in real time to a central command (eg. sea-based platforms to headquarters)? If no, start as surveillance video lost in an incident has no value. • Are analytics being used to identify real-time threats (intruders, fires, etc.) as well as identify suspicious patterns (eg. multiple visits by a car that is not on a list of known/expected visitors)? If no, institute analytics. Humans cannot come close to analytics in identifying threats. That said, analytics + humans are the ideal combination. • Last but not least, is the current storage system able to record simultaneous video streams (possibly in the thousands) at full resolution (30 fps, 4K), allow for real-time analytics, and retain video for years to come at the lowest cost possible? If no, a tiered storage solution from Quantum may be called for. Sanjay Oberoi pointing to some solutions said, “Most Oil & Gas facilities already have perimeter CCTV and video surveillance installed. These sites can be easily upgraded with a fiber optic sensor based, fence mounted perimeter intrusion detection system. The Central Alarm Monitoring Software of the fiber optic sensor based solution can then be integrated with the security information management (PSIM), security management (SeMS), video management (VMS), access control (ACS) and other security interfacing systems already installed. Such a solution will have a multiplier effect with minimum investment. This system will use the already deployed CCTV to validate intrusion attempts and will integrate the existing CCTV into one seamless end-to-end solution with the OFC PIDS system.” Hari Om Sharma believes, “The sector needs to migrate to advanced platforms that can effectively integrate multiple systems on one common platform ensuring all these systems talk to each other and act in tandem based on set protocols. iSolus is one such platform that shoots the problems faced by security administrators like systems not talking to each other, no central database, system

Sanjeev Sehgal said, “Analog systems can be converted to IP using video encoders and web servers. Using network cables in security systems can upgrade the security structure. The system should run on an integrated software platform to ensure complete protection.” SUGGESTIONS FOR IMPLEMENTING SECURITY SOLUTIONS IN O&G PROJECTS In Sanjay Oberoi’s opinion, “Oil & Gas Companies should consider appointing a consultant that has extensive experience (in India or overseas) in this field so that they can carry out site surveys, conduct detailed risk analysis and define the security objectives that they are looking to

achieve with a perimeter or pipeline intrusion detection solution. The consultant must be knowledgeable about solutions available in the market." Ashish P. Dhakan viewed, “Common issues associated with petrochemical, oil and gas facilities, which are often multi-site, include health and safety, managing access levels and securing the facilities against the ever present threat of terrorist attack. These challenges can be met with an integrated solution of video surveillance, access control and intrusion detection solutions from Hikvision. Today’s petrochemical operators need solutions offering flexibility, scalability and a secure approach to managing employees, contractors and visitors. This security solution must be one that works with their existing physical security infrastructure and ensures compliance with the latest regulations.”

Cybersecurity: Electric grids, oil refineries and power plants are major targets for cyberattacks. The oil and gas sector would need to spend $2 billion on cybersecurity by 2018 in order to protect itself from attacks.

n February of this year, the price of oil per barrel reached a 12-year low in the U.S., dipping below US$27. Despite prices coming back up to around $50, it is still half of what it was two years ago in 2014 when the price per barrel was around $100. In terms of security investment, lower barrel prices have meant that companies are looking to reduce operational expenses, not at the cost of security, but instead more e cient security. “While overall oil production has slowed, the demand for oil and gas production has continued to increase, and with this growth comes the demand for producers to safeguard investments at production facilities across the globe,” said Russell Ost, Vertical Market Manager for Global Oil and Gas at Pelco by Schneider Electric. “This means the security industry is poised to see more investment made in security solutions and business organization resources that will meet the needs of regulatory committees and security o cials charged with protecting people and assets in a facility.” Amit Mattatia, President and CEO of Opgal Optronic Industries, noted, “Even when the oil and gas industry is experiencing a downturn, security remains high on the agenda due to increased threats, especially in emerging markets, from terrorism, piracy and sabotage. It’s always important for the oil and gas companies to ensure a strong security budget is maintained during this period.” In fact, the oil and gas security and service market size is forecast to grow from $26.3 billion in 2015 to $33.9 billion by 2020, at an estimated CAGR of 5.2 percent from 2015 to 2020, according to a

INTRODUCTION

The complex Security environment has become a matter of concern for Government as well as Private Sector Industry in India. The Indian subcontinent is witnessing a traumatic phase and is reeling under disturbances of major proportions. There is a growing concern that it might impact Indian and International businesses. Realizing the changing landscape and the need, the perception of the Oil and Gas sector regarding security has also been changing. There is a growing recognition that in this ever-changing threat environment, it is imperative for business owners to constantly remain alert to fight new security threats. Challenges may vary from fire to flu, but their longterm impact is enormous. Furthermore, business leaders are increasingly realizing that a strategy and a holistic approach towards security will have much larger impact on the organization, the society and the country.

JULY 20172017 AUGUST

While the perception has been changing and businesses are increasingly looking for solutions, there are challenges as well. There are challenges in terms of resources, expertise and most important the approach. It is a big question for business ownersarises on the level of investments and preparedness since there is no certainty of a secure environment.

Operation from multiple locations: For an operator with multi site operational facilities like Airports, Warehouses and other businesses; the biggest challenge is replication of crisis management facility for all sites in multi-tenanted arrangements. The challenge that a business owner faces is to have the same security risk management arrangements replicated over each of these locations. Budget constraints: The risk mitigation would require an investment in terms of people, technology, equipment which comes with a cost. Also, these resources are virtually acting as support functions and adding no value to the bottom-line of the organization. To add to it allocating the same budget for all the locations becomes a challenge. Preparedness: Mock drills and simulation exercises are good ways to practice crisis management. However, in real life situation it could be quite tricky. Transportation may be affected, communication may be at fault or emergency supplies might be unavailable. It requires assistance and hand-holding from experienced experts, who have handled and managed different kinds of situations world over. Disaster response infrastructure and processes: Business owners always prepare for specific incidents, for instance they prepare for incidents like fire, terrorist attack, bomb threat or flood in isolation. They have predefined procedures to respond in such scenarios and they expect everything around would be in ideal condition. In reality, a crisis seldom strikes in isolation, one event may spark another event. Of late it has been observed that one disaster kicks off the other like a terrorist attack might spark a fire in the terminal building. Complications multi-fold when one disaster gives rise to another. Our

business continuity plans fail during such scenarios since they are used to prepare for only one incident. Hence, it is important to have a comprehensive security plan, which involves all the parties so that even airport operators can have speedy resolution of the incident.

RECOMMENDATIONS

(a)Fence Mounted Vibration Sensor based Perimeter Intrusion Detection System: The SVS 1000 Perimeter Intrusion Detection System arrives to the site fully assembled with the sensors molded onto the cable; this will ensure a hermetically sealed product that will withstand the harsh weather conditions. The processing and the alarm determination algorithm are unique and different from the ones common to other fence mounted systems. While most of the other systems, by nature of their principle of operation, produce signal on a whole zone basis and therefore, only rely on the level of this signal. The SVS 1000 PIDS however provides signals based on an individual sensor and therefore is analyzing the environment, an alarm is determined based on exceptions to the normal constant â&#x20AC;&#x153;noiseâ&#x20AC;? and further improving the false alarm rate of the system. This is especially important in a refinery environment where the fence is exposed to significant vibrations and acoustic noise caused by operation of heavy machinery. The Vibration Sensor has been tested by USA and Israeli government Agencies for a long period and found suitable for use at high security sites. Israeli Army is replacing Taut Wire System with Vibration Sensor system for its Border Surveillance. It has been installed all over the world in high security sites such as prisons, embassies, industrial and utility sites and alike.

BENEFITS AND ADVANTAGES

(i) The system requires a field processor (SVSHub) every 1500M in oppose to other fence mounted systems that require a dual zone processor every 200-400M. (ii) For sites up to about 1.5 Km the SVSFence does not require a processor at all and can be plugged in directly into the control hub. (iii) Control hubs can be networked and communicate with a main server via a standard Ethernet network. (iv) The hubs and sever can be remotely setup, diagnosed and upgraded via wired or wireless internet.

The Vibration Sensor has been tested by USA and Israeli government Agencies for a long period and found suitable for use at high security sites. It has been installed all over the world in high security sites such as prisons, embassies, industrial and utility sites and alike.

(v) The SVS Fence provide alarm resolution of 3M rather than up to 100m in other systems, this enables to lower the number of fixed CCTV cameras and use more PTZ cameras. vi) The same sensors can act as Magnetic sensors, Guard Patrol Attendance notification sensors and Temperature sensors. This eliminates the need for special magnetic gate and tamper switches and their interface. (vii) There is no orientation requirement for the sensor unlike other systems where the sensor has to be levelled and adjusted. (viii) The sensor can be installed on multiple types of surface including concrete and steel walls. (ix) The installation of the system is as easy as connecting it to the fence every three meters.

The main features of the system are:(i) The sensors are over-moulded on a standard outdoor rated cable, which is used to provide operating power as well as communication with the control centre. (ii) The sensors exchange information with the control unit (SVS Hub) via RS-485 communication line.

(iii) Each sensor includes a micro-processor doing the local calculations to filter solid or false alarm events. (iv) Each sensor has a unique address so the information being sent back to the command centre knows to pinpoint the actual alarm location. (v) Each sensor can be adjusted from the control centre to fine tune the sensitivity and functionality.

SUMMARY

The challenges of assessing security risk stems from uncertainties inherent in specifying each of the factors that determine risk; i.e. threat, vulnerability, and consequences. The most uncertain factor surrounding terrorism risk relates to threat when, where and how will terrorists choose to attack next. It is difficult to anticipate changes in terroristsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; intentions and capabilities, yet the intelligence community directs significant effort to providing answers to exactly these types of questions. The challenge in this poses for risk analysis is how to link efforts of intelligence analysis with efforts to estimate and manage terrorism risks.

ccording to latest industry figures, the global perimeter security market is expected to grow from USD 14,010.3 Million in 2015 to USD 20,250.6 Million by 2020, at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 7.6% during the forecast period. The Indian security & surveillance industry is still fragmented, but as crimes, emergencies and terrorist attacks are increasing, we see an increased need for the country to adopt security policies and ensure a safe and secure environment for its citizens. Hence, the need for a sound perimeter system to form part of an organisation’s wider security strategy has become indispensable. The Indian market for security and surveillance products is robust and growth is expected to further accelerate in the future. Perimeter security is an essential investment that no enterprise can afford to disregard.

Since security cannot be the responsibility of the government alone, it should consider offering incentives with respect to the adoption and implementation of security systems and technology aiding its implementation. Regular third party security audits should be conducted to ensure that the systems are up-to-date to counter any security threats.

Security begins with securing the perimeter and preventing unauthorised entry. Besides physical security measures, such as access control devices, boom barriers, etc., electronic surveillance today, offers a host of intelligent solutions.

Aditya Khemka, CEO & Director, Aditya Infotech

LATEST DEVELOPMENTS According to Aditya Khemka, CEO and Director, CP Plus, “Security begins with securing the perimeter and preventing unauthorised entry. Besides physical security measures, such as access control devices, boom barriers, etc., electronic surveillance today, offers a host of intelligent solutions. Of them, video analytics has particularly taken the perimeter security market by storm: trip wire, wherein the camera signals, the surveyor in case the virtual line(s) created in an area is crossed; scene change, where the surveyor is intimated should the camera’s area of focus is tampered with; defocus detection, where the camera triggers an alarm or a push message if the focus is tampered with; motion detection, where the surveyor is intimated if motion is detected in a reserved/ restricted area.” Sudhindra Holla, Country Manager, Axis said, “The perimeter protection requirement has increased globally in the last few years due to many reports of perimeter intrusion. It is alarmingly high in India especially in commercial and residential properties. Businesses and individuals suffer from great losses ranging from property to information. Loss of data can lead to higher losses in terms of revenue hence, the need for perimeter protection.”

“Perimeter security has come a long way from barbed wire and glass embeds. Today’s perimeters are watched and guarded by CCTV cameras that offer 24x7 in-depth surveillance. IR cameras make night surveillance really effective. IR scanners are being deployed on various scales so that the smallest breach can be easily detected and acted upon,” explained Hari Om Sharma, Director and CoFounder, Solus. According to Sanjay Oberoi, Country Manager, FFT, “Long range, locating, cut resilient, real time fiber optic sensor technology for large deployments, including sterile zones, borders and pipelines – where linear lengths of assets require monitoring that can extend from a few hundred meters to a hundreds of kilometers.” Elaborating on the technology trend Lazley Paul, Manager Business Development, Optex said, “In trending solutions of perimeter security systems using IR based Photoelectric Beam detectors, Laser Based curtain solutions & Optical fiber based intrusion detection system have made perimeter security more prominent and successful. The big advantage of these systems is they are not vulnerable to many of the traditional alarm technology problems like obstructions, changing lighting conditions, animal movements and certainly some of the elements like wind and rain in moderation. A particular advantage is that it can follow the perimeter line without difficulties as the detection sensors is easily installed along the perimeters. These solutions are much more economical and precise in Intrusion detections on perimeter.” INNOVATIONS Further talking about the latest innovations in this segments Aditya Khemka said, “Latest innovations in perimeter security solutions have been in the field of analytics. While quite a few are in use already, such as trip wire, wherein the camera signals, the surveyor in case the virtual line(s) created in an area is crossed; scene change, where the surveyor is intimated should the camera’s area of focus is tampered with; defocus detection, where the camera triggers an alarm or a push message if the focus is tampered with; motion detection, where the surveyor is intimated if motion isdetected in a reserved/restricted area, etc. further innovations in perimeter security are

expected to be primarily in this direction.” According to Sanjay Oberoi, “Accurately comparing and costing Perimeter Intrusion Detection Systems (PIDS) is complex. There are many factors to be taken into account by customers including selecting the most suitable technologies to use for the application, system performance, reliability, pre and post-sales support, and of course the ‘real’ cost of delivering a cost-effective PIDS solution. When evaluating the cost of

the system, you need to look beyond the up-front price of the hardware and software which is only a part of the picture – you need to look at the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) over the life of the product. Pleasingly, we are finding that customers are starting to look more at the TCO rather than just initial upfront costs. Customers are also becoming more open to adopting new and effective technologies rather than traditional, legacy solutions.

Axis has made several innovations under automation detection without eyes and Automatic notification category. Sudhindra Holla explained in detail: Automation detection without eyes: Network video allows for distributed intelligence, i.e. units at the edge capable of processing video and extracting relevant information. This requires less bandwidth and reduces the need for storage since only relevant video footage is downloaded onto the server. Even small and rather basic systems provide high quality images needed to enable advanced features such as video motion detection, virtual fence or cross line detection. Compared to a radar or laser system that is typically installed on the inside of a fence, a network camera can be configured to sustain an alarm trigger outside of the fence and thus give an earlier warning. Large systems allow advanced configurations and functionalities. Automatic notification: When an alarm is triggered, a real time notification is automatically sent by e-mail. Using a remote viewing app, the receiver can then see a live stream from the camera or a recording of the triggering event. Based on this visual information, it is easy to go ahead and decide on the appropriate action. IPbased systems are flexible and scalable as well as being possible to integrate with other security technologies, such as access control and motion sensors etc. Relying on open industry standards also facilitates the development of a wide variety of third party applications. According to Lazley Paul, “With available perimeter solutions for the market, companies are trying to innovate there solutions by offering something out of the box to their clients, this is happening by bringing various security products one platform. Products are now days being promoted as complete package for perimeter security integrated with surveillance solutions. Laser based solutions are being developed based on the specific market requirements. Customers understand the real need of perimeter protection with different solutions available to cater every market segment.

CHALLENGES In Aditya Khemka’s view, “The primary challenge in Perimeter Security stands: cost efficiency – designing a solution that maximises benefits in the least investment. “The main issue that they face is integration with the native security systems that prevail in the company. If the perimeter security software is not compatible with the other systems, it makes everything very complicated and reduces its effectiveness. Also, it is important that the databases are well updated,” said Hari Om Sharma.

In trending solutions of perimeter security systems using IR based Photoelectric Beam detectors, Laser Based curtain solutions & Optical fiber based intrusion detection system have made perimeter security more prominent and successful.

Lazley Paul, Manager, Business Development, Optex

According to Sudhindra Holla, “Historically, most perimeter defending solutions have been large-scale and stationary. However, that poses challenges for mobile industry and defence forces. The solution here is to create smaller and mobile solutions that can defend large complexes without compromising on image quality. With innovations in this field, it is possible to deploy cameras that are discreet, mobile and can detect intruders in the dark.” The challenges according to Sanjay Oberoi, “There are several issues installers face when choosing Perimeter Security Solutions for their clients. These challenges include low awareness by asset owners/consultants of the design, features and advantages of the solutions available in the market; minimal deliberation at specification/tender writing stage between the asset owner/consultant and the SI/OEM; insufficient research by the asset owner/consultant when setting a budget and seeking budget approval and focus on lowest cost rather than total cost of ownership amongst others.” Meanwhile Lazley Paul said, “Our market is very competitive & price sensitive and mainly installers are not thoroughly aware of solutions available for different market sectors. This generally happens due to lack of knowledge and interest in promoting such solutions, easy sale is a general focus. On the other hand sometimes they face challenges from some non-branded products available at a cheaper price, but facts remain the same, quality & durability comes with a price. The market in India is not much aware where companies like Optex initiate Training & learning activities in different parts of India to share solutions knowledge with applications.”

communication cabling to the explosionproof camera or utilise a non-explosionproof rated junction box saves additional product and installation costs.

ExSite Enhanced Explosion-Proof Cameras’ robotically welded water- and corrosionresistant stainless steel housing meets the tough NEMA Type 4X standard for use in extreme environments; such as oil and gas facilities, chemical plants, manufacturing and marine facilities, and for numerous other demanding applications.

MAINTENANCE Many Oil & Gas facilities are in locations that contain extreme temperatures, highhumidity, hurricane force winds and adjacent to salt water environments. The construction of the housing must be able to withstand these conditions. ExSite Enhanced’s robust 316L stainless steel housing ensures a long life in the harshest of environments. To ensure optimal performance and uptime, explosion proof cameras have a recommended schedule for maintenance. Maintenance usually includes replacing the belts, which stretch over time and other internal components. ExSite Enhanced cameras utilise motor drives instead of belts which greatly reduces scheduled maintenance requirements.

The camera's unique patent-pending pantilt drive system is devoid of belts, gears or pulleys to eliminate stray electrical discharge while providing the highest levels of physical integrity. The imaging performance of ExSite Enhanced Explosion-Proof Cameras are equally impressive, including: industry’s fastest PTZ speed of up to 200°/sec with 0.05° accuracy; a 30X optical zoom with image stabilisation to provide extended range with high detail; the ability to operate in extreme temperatures; IR illumination; and integrated Ethernet, fibre, Ethernet over Coax (EoC) and Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) transmission. INSTALLATION Explosion-proof cameras typically are mounted within a hazardous area of a facility, which, by definition, makes the physical installation challenging and time consuming. ExSite Enhanced cameras, terminate both UTP and Fibre connectivity within the camera base and provide multiple connectivity options while saving installation time. Depending on the installation location, explosionproof junction boxes may not be required. The ability to directly terminate the

DOWNTIME Planned and unplanned downtime is very expensive. A crew to uninstall an explosionproof camera is normally scheduled within specific maintenance windows. Explosion proof cameras are heavy and usually mounted in very challenging areas. In some instances, helicopters are necessary to unmount and mount explosion-proof cameras into place. Your corporate compliance requirements will determine whether an immediate replacement explosion proof camera is necessary, or if they will wait to receive the maintained/ repaired unit from the manufacture. ExSite Enhanced is extremely reliable and comes with a 2-year continuous duty warranty, minimising downtime.

Milind Borkar, Vice President of Sales, Indian Subcontinent, Middle East and Africa, Infinova The estimated overall global market size of thermal cameras is around USD 7 billion. In India, Thermal Cameras are still more often used in military and defence applications, however, in recent times, we are seeing the trend upscale and many commercial, government and industrial projects have started raising the requirement for the same. The application pre-dominantly is for perimeter security, maritime, transportation and other applications. The reason for this rise in demand for thermal cameras can be price optimisation by several OEMs that cater to several verticals and segments. They look forward to cameras that fit into their project budgets. However, in this context, several manufacturers have emerged over the past few years and there are several unorganised brands available in this zone selling thermal cameras. Since, thermal cameras are specialised cameras and the long term performance and quality depends on several factors, it is very essential that the selection of any thermal

The solution offered by Infinova can be compared to any recognised Thermal Camera Manufacturer brand and we work on designing a solution with the customer rather than pushing the product as an off-the-shelf product. camera brand is done wisely and not just on price. We have encountered several projects demanding thermal cameras, however there are several factors when choosing a right thermal camera. It is very essential to understand requirements such as detection distance of Human or a Vehicle, Lens selection, Fixed or PTZ cameras, Resolution – 640 X 480 or 320 x 240, Pixel Size - 17µ or 25µ, cooled or uncooled, Motorized Zoom, DFOV or Fixed. A thermalized lens, Thermal Sensor Camera or Dual Sensor Camera etc. One of the most important parameters being Thermal Sensitivity cannot be neglected when selecting a thermal camera. Some projects demand technologies such as Laser Range Finder, GPS and Gyro stabilisation built-in to the thermal cameras thus exploring additional features within the camera. Thermal Cameras, like other conventional cameras should be able to seamlessly integrate with other

third party systems such Radar systems, Fence Protection Systems, etc. Infinova has recently launched its Thermal range of Cameras in the Indian Market and possesses complete range of thermal solutions for all types of applications. All these cameras are seamlessly integrated with our VMS. FACTORS TO CONSIDER WHEN CHOOSING A RIGHT THERMAL CAMERA:

Detection distance of Human or a Vehicle

Lens selection: Fixed or PTZ cameras Resolution – 640 X 480 or 320 x 240

Pixel Size - 17µ or 25µ,

CRIME DETECTION AND BORDER SURVEILLANCE PAVE WAY FOR THERMAL IMAGING CAMERA MARKET A large population and increasing crime statistics, the surveillance needs have increased manifold, which provides security providers immense opportunity for implementation of thermal cameras. Submitted by axis communications

MARKET INSIGHTS According to the latest industry figures, the thermal imaging market is estimated to grow from USD 7.71 Billion in 2016 to USD 10.27 Billion by 2021, at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 5.9%. It is a positive development for the surveillance industry as thermal imaging is a critical requirement for most surveillance solutions today. The price of thermal cameras is dropping every year and is no longer a luxury surveillance product, but has become a core part of the technology. Thermal cameras are used by sectors other than defence and security; however, surveillance industry has the largest share of applications amongst all. INDUSTRY TRENDS & GROWTH PROSPECTS In India, the use of thermal cameras is catching up. North America is the

largest consumer of thermal cameras worldwide and India is also adopting the product. With such a large population and increasing crime statistics, the surveillance needs have increased manifold which provides security providers like us immense opportunity for implementation of thermal cameras. As thermal cameras are less sensitive to problems with light conditions, such as shadows, backlight, darkness and even camouflaged objects; it delivers images that allow operators to detect and act on suspicious activity – 24 hours a day, seven days a week. According to market research, the defence sector is also increasingly utilising thermal imaging for border patrol and security. INNOVATIONS Thermal cameras do not require any additional light sources – conventional or IR – that consume energy, create shadows and reveal their locations. In contrast to conventional day-and-night cameras that depend on a certain amount of near-infrared light to function, thermal cameras deliver reliable surveillance images even in complete darkness. Thermal cameras add thermal information to the image. They make it possible to monitor processes and to detect abnormal behaviour when temperatures change. For example thermal cameras can be used to find heat leaks in buildings, or to see if a car has been driven recently.

Thermal cameras do not, however, deliver images that allow reliable identification – that is why thermal cameras and conventional cameras complement and support each other in a surveillance installation.

THERE ARE MANY BENEFITS OF USING THERMAL CAMERAS:

Detect objects, vehicles, persons or incidents even in complete darkness and make it impossible for individuals to hide in shadows or blend in against complex backgrounds

It does not demand any additional light sources and handles many difficult weather conditions including smoke, haze and dust

Cannot be blinded by strong lights or put out of order using laser pointers, etc.

Are available as out-of-thebox outdoor-ready products for cost-effective installation

Are affordable enough to be a realistic complement to many network video installations

AECI’s Chemserve Systems goes Thermal to Secure its Chloorkop site using Axis cameras Seasoned IP CCTV and systems integration provider, SLA Group, designed and installed a cohesive solution, using Axis network cameras, which offers complete perimeter coverage and extensive internal monitoring capabilities. Submitted by axis communications

MISSION AECI’s Chemserve Systems Ltd provides chemical products to a diverse range of industries. Their site at Chloorkop, a small industrial town just outside of Johannesburg, was being monitored by four different analog camera systems, making effective security surveillance extremely difficult. A decision was taken to consolidate and upgrade the existing solution. SOLUTION Seasoned IP CCTV and systems integration provider, SLA Group, designed and installed a cohesive solution, using Axis network cameras, which offers complete perimeter coverage and extensive internal monitoring capabilities. The main entrance control room maintains centralised control of the entire system, while the IT server room records & acts as a main buffer for the whole system, thereby reducing the risk of an incident or intrusion failing detection by security personnel. AUGUST 2017

www.asindia.in

RESULT The vacant land on the north and west side borders of the Chloorkop AECI’s site no longer poses a threat to the security of the premises. Previously this open area was responsible for continuous trespassing and the removal of large quantities of valuable stock. Thanks to the installation of Axis thermal network cameras, even complete darkness cannot allow criminals a place to hide.

Protecting essential stock AECI – Chempark Division supply an extensive range of specialty chemical products and related services for industrial use across a broad spectrum of customers in the manufacturing and mining sectors, mainly in South Africa and in Southern Africa. 1. Chemsystems: Provides chemical products to a diverse range of industries. 2. AkuluMarchom: Supplies chemical raw materials and value-adding services to the cosmetics, toiletry and detergent industries in South Africa. 3. IU: Manufactures and supplies a range of polyurethane products, technologies, systems and solutions in Southern Africa. 4. Plastamid: Plays a leading role in the manufacture and supply of thermoplastic compounds to a diverse range of industries. 5. Chemfit: Has 30 years’ experience in supplying traded and blended specialty chemicals to a broad range of industries including water treatment, soil fumigation, petrochemical, lubricants, polymers and plastics.

Picture quality and ease of installation were just two of the many reasons that we selected Axis as our IP partner for this project. Alex Teixeira, SLA Group. “It is imperative that warehouses, administrative buildings, workshops and storage tankers are under 24-hour surveillance. This ensures that our customer has complete control of the entire site at all times,” says SLA Groups Alexandre Teixeira. “Any movement after working hours will automatically trigger an alarm that security officers can react to immediately. The Axis PTZ network cameras provide a visual of

what security can expect to encounter during these responses.” A FORTIFIED BOUNDARY SLA Group has over 24 years’ experience in the design, manufacture and installation of CCTV and automation systems for the power generation, mining, iron and steel and chemical industries. This sustained involvement allows SLA Group to offer best value for money solutions without compromising on quality, reliability or long term stability. “We realised that AECI - Chempark perimeter was a major security issue that required careful attention and meticulous product investigation,” says Alex Teixeira. “The AXIS Q1910-E Thermal Network Camera presented itself as the most intelligent option.” It uses thermal imaging to detect people objects and incidents in complete darkness or challenging conditions such as smoke, haze, dust and light fog. Creating images based on the heat that is generated by any object, person or vehicle and requiring no additional light source, thermal cameras are ideal for securing perimeters and dark or shadowed areas. CRISP AND HIGH DEFINITION IMAGES The main entrance to the site and the internal roads are monitored by AXIS P1344 Network Cameras. The first-rate HDTV image quality of AXIS P1344 ensures that control room personnel are able to view video surveillance of the highest possible resolution in the zones where clarity and detail are absolutely critical. “Every single corridor, intersection, entrance and exit needs to be accessible by the surveillance cameras. The versatility of the Axis-based solution makes this entirely possible.”

40% Increase in Productivity of Employees and Workers

Project was aimed at tracking the timeattendance, employee self-service and visitor management for over 500 users with more than 13 devices at Mysore, India. This was done using fingerprint with Optical Sensor. CHALLENGES: JK Tyres have its biggest manufacturing setup in Mysore. The premise consists of a manufacturing unit as well as the administrative department. Since the plant runs 24Ă&#x2014;7 and there are numerous shifts of workers, they found it difficult to manage multiple shifts manually. Managing visitors was also a problem for the company. So, they required a software that would help them keep a record of visitors on time-to-time basis. Creating a visitorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s identity in the form of visitor pass and generating reports of visitors on a monthly basis was a tiresome process. JK Tyres was looking for a vendor who could offer them a complete solution related to Time-Attendance and Visitor Management. SOLUTION OFFERED: Matrix offered a Time-Attendance solution, which centrally handled multiple shifts of workers and employees. Numerous shifts were created to manage the TimeAttendance of more than 500+ workers. Moreover, we provided Employee Self

Service, which helped the employees view their day-to-day attendance, apply for leave/tour, amongst others. JK Tyres further required a record for visitors, so we

delivered Visitor Management software, which helped them create a visitor pass, fetch visitor records and generate reports of the same.

FFT Secure Fence For Oil & Gas Facility Submitted by FFT

Site: Gas Storage Facility. Perimeter: 5000m facility circled with a 2.4m high chain-link fence with barbed wire single crank topping. FFT Solution: Single FFT Secure Fence controller. Detection Configuration: Software zone based detection • Sensor cable is tied to the chain-link fence to create cost effective climbing, lifting and cutting detection. • Sensor cables are also connected to multiple swing and pedestrian gates. • Detection zones are formed within FFT CAMS where alarm information is forwarded to the camera control system.

SECURITY OPERATOR INTERFACE: FFT CAMS with PLC connection to a Hernisvideo management camera control system.

Benefits of FFT Solution: • The FFT perimeter intrusion detection system provides a high probability of detecting illegal entry into a secure gas storage facility where unauthorised entry and activity could have catastrophic consequences. • Use of fibre optic intrusion detection, in combination with barbed wire topping, improves intrusion detection. The topping impedes stealthy climbing, generating extra vibrations which are transmitted through the chain-link fence to the sensor cable. • FFT advanced signal processing and algorithms avoid nuisance alarms that might otherwise result from high winds and heavy rain. FFT fibre optic intrusion detection is unaffected by large temperature and humidity changes that adversely affect operation of other intrusion detection systems, including the effects of gas flares that heat the fence at this site. • FFT fibre optic sensors are immune to frequent lightning strikes and electromagnetic interference. • With no power or electronics required in the field, FFT fibre optics sensors are intrinsically safe, highly reliable and resistant to coastal weather and corrosion.

QUANTUM’s Storage Platform Provides speed access to

Chinese Oilfield Company

Fuelled by new demands for oil and gas exploration, the leading oilfield company in Western China outgrew its storage infrastructure. The answer was an integrated Quantum StorNext scale-out storage solution—with fast and easy deployment, performance and scalability to meet the company’s needs Submitted by quantum

REQUIREMENT Using specialised software applications, multistep parallel processes are run against the raw data, which requires a high-performance storage platform—and generates a huge amount of data. The Institute’s data centre dedicates about 640 nodes and 7,000 cores to the computational analysis, and at each step in the process more and more data is generated. A typical project generates 30TB to 40TB. Multiple projects are carried out each year, requiring the addition of over 100TB of storage capacity per year.

the Xinjiang Oil Field team selected a StorNext scale-out storage solution from Quantum. It includes StorNext QD6000 RAID disk storage, dual redundant StorNext Metadata Appliances to manage the storage and provide high performance parallel access to the data, and StorNext Gateway Appliances to provide high-speed access to clients and applications over Ethernet. The storage platform supports InfiniBand for jobs needing the highest processing speeds, but also provides IP connectivity for day-to-day operations. In addition, StorNext is fully compatible with all the standard applications used for oil and gas exploration, including CGG MANAGEMENT As Xinjiang Oilfield’s parent company, applications. PetroChina, placed greater emphasis on developing western resources, research and development activities increased. The Institute at Xinjiang Oilfield Company realized that its existing disk storage and network attached storage (NAS) infrastructure would not be able to handle the increased demand. The IT team needed a new storage solution to support higher speed parallel processing— both higher bandwidth and faster I/O connections between the compute clusters and storage. The team placed a premium on performance, including InfiniBand support for applications sensitive to network bandwidth. The storage solution also needed to support their existing CGG applications, in addition to providing fast and easy installation, plus scalability for future growth.

CASE STUDY

CP PLUS Secures Student And Staff Security The vast premises of Shah Abdul Latif University is under the vigilant eyes of CP PLUS high definition security cameras. Submitted by cp plus

INTRODUCTION hah Abdul Latif is an esteemed university and one of the most recognised bodies providing higher education in the field of arts, commerce, science and technology. It is located in Khairpur - a former state that joined Pakistan in 1955, right at the heartland of Upper Sindh. The main campus located at Khairpur - just 3 kilometres away from the town, spanning an area of 340 acres of land plush with greenery and demarcated playgrounds.

AUGUST 2017 AUGUST 2017

The university houses over 8000 students and staff across its campus, and the management wanted to make sure that the premise was safe and secure for all. The existing security was limited to the premise being manned by a few security personnel, which was, by far, insufficient from the security point of view. The management required an intelligent surveillance system to be designed that would not only ensure the safety of students and staff, but also help with maintaining discipline within the university.

SOLUTION The management of Shah Abdul Latif University wanted to monitor the entire expanse, especially the entrance and exits and boundary walls. The expectation from the system was real â&#x20AC;&#x201C;time recording and crystal clear display. The universityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vast premises required careful screening so as to determine the best locations and angles where cameras could be installed to monitor the maximum area without compromising on the footage quality. The choice of cameras, cabling, and related equipment/peripherals, also required careful evaluation. It was important to ensure that the installation was tamper proof. The choicest of high definition CP PLUS cameras were selected along with one of the best recorders and a VMS so as to ensure high definition images, 24 hour recording and hassle-free operation. A central control room was set up where footage could be monitored and recorded.

IMPACT Shah Abdul Latif University has greatly benefited from the installation of this surveillance system. The control room for recording and storage of data has distributed monitoring units connected by underground optical fibre cabling. The conceptualisation of this project has ensured easy identification and immediate action. The installed surveillance system has been able to efficiently monitor the campus round-the-clock, zoom-in where needed and provide real-time images to authorities to enable authorities to tackle emergency situations and take corrective actions.

Multi-Site Surveillance Solution Protects College Campuses In Gujarat Hikvision iVMS-5200 Professional VMS software was installed to control and monitor the new surveillance system 24/7 of 43 college campuses Submitted by hikvision

NVRs, cameras and speed domes, as well as any mix of third party manufacturer products that conform to ONVIF standard. Allowing DTE’s security and management application needs to be addressed, regardless of its size and complexity, the Hikvision control software fully supports the installed Hikvision products’ smart features, including smart search, playback, and smart detection.

MS software and IP products from Hikvision are now being used by the Government of Gujarat Directorate of Technical Education (DTE), to protect and administer education facilities and services across Western India. A government organisation that provides qualitative and higher level technical training for students from a diverse mix of financial and social backgrounds, the Directorate of Technical Education’s (DTE) goal is to deliver global standards of excellence in technical education for all their students. BACKGROUND Looking to provide a more secure environment and enhance education management both inside the college campuses and within classrooms, DTE enlisted the help of Progility Technologies Pvt. Ltd. (A local partner of Prama Hikvision India) to evaluate their needs and recommend a practical solution. Working closely with the client, Progility team undertook site surveys at 43 campuses across Gujarat and in respect of DTE’s management and system performance

needs, proposed a cost-effective solution that would provide the required level of indoor and outdoor surveillance coverage. The considerations for the surveillance solution would also take-in DTE’s objective of enlisting the new system to play a role in enhancing the day-to-day education processes, where it could also be used to remotely monitor examinations, as well as being a time-saving facilities management tool for use across the large Western India state. INTEGRATED NETWORK Providing centralised remote surveillance and alarm monitoring, Hikvision proposed an IP based solution that would use DTE’s existing secure virtual private network (VPN), which connects all education sites across Gujarat to a central point at the Directorate of Technical Education, in the capital city of Gandhinagar, Gujarat. At two control rooms, Hikvision iVMS-5200 Professional VMS software was installed to control and monitor the new surveillance system 24/7. Ideal for controlling any mix of surveillance system products, the iVMS5200 Professional software fully supports all Hikvision products, including DVRs,

To provide affordable high-quality surveillance imaging across the 43 college campuses covered, Hikvision specified a mix of DS-2CD2620F-IS HD 2 Megapixel vari-focal IR network bullet, and DS-2CD2720F-IS HD 2 Megapixel outdoor network IR dome cameras. Both camera models provide 1920×1080 resolution, and true Day & Night (ICR) low-light capabilities, along with BackLight Compensation (BLC). Approximately 1,300 Hikvision cameras installed now provide comprehensive surveillance within the campuses lobbies, classrooms, laboratories, staff rooms, examination halls, auditoriums, storerooms, exit and entry doors, and open campus area access gates and car parks. SYSTEM BENEFITS Viewed from the central monitoring stations, DTE system operators can now remotely check the status of facilities or presence/absence of support staff across Western India. In addition, on examination of the high definition play back, since the installation went live, incidents of petty theft have been recorded, and stolen belongings of students and facilities recovered.

COM-SUR is a Holistic Solution, Completing 'Workflow' In Surveillance... Gautam D Goradia submitted by com-sur

What are your observations about COM-SUR journey till now? The journey of COM-SUR since its inception in 2013 has been challenging, yet extremely rewarding. COM-SUR is a groundbreaking technology and anything new takes time for fruition. That being said over the past one year COM-SUR has been able to majorly influence and change the way the Video Surveillance industry thinks and functions. COM-SUR has been able to bring to the forefront, once again, the Human Angle. Will GST affect COM-SUR services? The introduction of GST has standardised matters and has become easier for end consumers. Taxes are now charged at 18% as opposed to 15% service tax plus 6%VAT. With prices coming down, the end consumer is happy.

What are the latest developments at COM-SUR with specific reference to the Indian market? The Indian Video Surveillance industry is growing exponentially with the market estimated to reach a whopping USD 2.4 billion by 2020. With the 100 Smart Cities project going on in full swing, there is a large market for COM-SUR. Police modernisation, community policing, development of command and control centres amongst others, are all such projects that COM-SUR is targeting to being a part of. We are already working on opportunities with several branches of the country’s Security Forces, Police Organisations and various state Governments to help make our country a safer place. We are also working on opportunities with several retailers, manufacturers and the hospitality industry to help solve their issues such as (1) back up and data storage (2) easy video retrieval (3) no standardised manner or ease of sharing data, (4) no easy way of searching through hours of video (5) false alerts, video blindness and poor situational awareness. With COM-SUR they are able to (1) secure their premises (2) largely help prevent crime, loss and fraud (3) solve crime faster (4) enhance processes, compliance issues and safety (5) gain better situational awareness (6) improve operational efficiency and finally (7) improve staff performance, enhance customer satisfaction and thereby increase sales.

COM-SUR is the world’s only CCTV Auditing, Smart Backup and Intelligent Reporting Software that allows you to ‘Audit’ or Review video data. Are the new Government policies helping to resolve key issues? With a population of over one billion people, a coastline of 7,000 odd km, a land frontier of 15,000 km, high levels of poverty, major economic disparity, multiple religions, crimes, terrorism, cross border conflicts and natural disasters, our country is battling huge challenges. The Government has helped a great deal by flagging off 100 Smart City projects, giving importance to Community Policing, floating tenders for CCTV installations, increasing use of drones, UAVs and body worn cameras, increasing budgets for security and encouraging private-public sector partnerships. All these measures have helped the video surveillance industry growing exponentially in India, eventually leading us to protect ourselves and our borders.

How is COM-SUR positioned in the Indian security market? COM-SUR has positioned itself in the same, standardised manner globally. Whilst there has been an exponential rise in Surveillance cameras and VMS, this has only led to an increase in video data. There is no technology currently that allows you to ‘Audit’ or Review so much video data. COM-SUR is the world’s only CCTV Auditing, Smart Backup and Intelligent Reporting Software that fills a huge gap in the surveillance industry. It works with all types and brands of cameras and Video Management Systems. Therefore, we are not at direct competition with anyone. If anything, we are ‘friends’ with all camera manufacturers and VMS. COM-SUR is a holistic solution, completing ‘Workflow’ in Surveillance. Any award/recognition received by COM-SUR in recent time? COM-SUR has been greatly recognised not only by the Indian security industry, but also globally. 2016-17 has been a defining year for COM-SUR that saw us win 4 awards. (1) COM-SUR as the most Innovative Technology for City Surveillance at Security Watch India’s Innovation & Excellence Awards for Security and Policing 2016 (2) Innovator of the Year in Indigenous Technology Award at the International Institute of Security & Safety Management’s Excellence Awards 2016 (3) Best Innovation in Security Award by the prestigious Fire and Safety Association of India (FSAI) 2017, held in Noida (4) ‘Innovative Product of the Year in Security (Software)’ Award at the prestigious Secona Shield Awards 2017, powered by Secutech India. Another great honour was recently in July 2017, where we were presented with the opportunity of speaking about deriving Actionable Intelligence from Auditing, at INTERPOL WORLD, Singapore. It was also in 2015 that he had delivered a paper, again at INTERPOL WORLD, Singapore, where he spoke about the benefits of Standardizing Incident Reporting across the world, which was highly appreciated.

via the right recourse. A camera lens can capture a school guard leading a child to the science laboratory and find nothing odd about it, but the human Eyes and Mind on seeing this will immediately question the motive behind this act, take action and thereby prevent a possibly heinous crime. Thus, there is a need for an entirely new profession of CCTV Auditors. (2) Considering that Places of Worship too are often targets of attack, crime, and other losses, COM-SUR is being offered for free to all places of worship WORLD OVER so that they can achieve better outcomes from their existing CCTV systems.

With the 100 Smart Cities project going on in full swing, there is a large market for COM-SUR. What are the futures plans of COM-SUR? COM-SUR wishes to be the global de facto tool to deliver unthinkable benefits to all users of CCTV/video surveillance globally. We plan on tying up / working with Camera manufacturers, VMS makers, remote monitoring service providers as part of our strategic alliances so that COM-SUR can be made available to the world at large, easily. Finally, of course we shall continue to develop and improve COM-SUR in order to: (1) satisfy customer requirements (2) always remain one step ahead of those wishing to unleash terror in this world, so that we may leave a lasting legacy of having contributed to making this world a SAFER place.

What are the new initiatives undertaken by COM-SUR in India? (1) We are planning to introduce and develop National Operating Standards for a profession of ‘CCTV Security Auditors’ in order to help create more jobs. A CCTV Auditor can be defined as one who Audits CCTV footage Daily on a post facto basis and perceives potential threats and risks and thereby provides protection to the establishment/property/premise. This can be any person, age, gender and caste no bar, with a basic education (Class X), possessing basic technological knowledge. It is important to understand that no amount of technology can replace our Eyes and Mind. Eyes not only see, but perceive, understand, analyse and quickly help take corrective and preventive action

VALUE ADDED DISTRIBUTION MARKS A STEEP GROWTH IN INDIA Four major trends that aid fast growth in distribution are urbanisation, the growing need for security, technological innovation and the increasing prosperity in the emerging markets. By ******* Submitted by compuage infocom ltd.

What are the opportunities for setting up distribution business in India? With an overall market size of 500MN USD, and steady CAGR of around 20%, there is immense opportunity for Value added distribution in India. As the market is getting matured and we are already seeing increase in spending for social security by Major government institutions and corporate, we see a sizable opportunity for many global OEMs to address the increasing demand. We strongly feel that there is immense opportunity for many global OEMs to enter into India market not only into Video, but also into allied business like storage, networks, etc. and to address the dynamic Indian market, a strong value added distribution partner is the need of the hour. We believe that there is still a lot of scope and opportunities into the value added distribution space and one must focus on addressing the distribution market not only into demand fulfilment space, but also in terms of creating the required demand for the OEMs. As end customers evolve, so must solution providers.

What are the benefits of being a distributor in the fast growing security Industry? We at Compuage believe that the fast growth is been driven by four major global trends: urbanisation, the growing need for security, technological innovation and the increasing prosperity in the emerging

markets. Being in such a dynamic market it gives us immense pride to offer benefits to our customers in terms of security, organisational efficiency and convenience. We offer customers a broad and welldiversified range of products suited to their needs. Why online distribution concept is not picking up as expected? The market is expecting a lot of activities from Distributor/Reseller/System integrator like POC (Proof of Concept), value Engineering, Solution designing, etc. It requires specific attention and a mind-set. Online marketers have a huge challenge to face as they primarily focus on box selling and that is the main reason why online distribution concept is not picking up as expected. What are the advantages of B2B and B2C distribution in the Indian security market? As the name suggests, a business to business (B2B) transaction is where two businesses carry out commercial activities. A retail transaction is between a business and a customer (B2C). Whereas, when company A purchases goods from company B for Aâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s business requirements, it is B2B. One simple example for this is when a system integrator purchases CCTV cameras and network switches in bulk from a CCTV OEM or from authorized VAD (Value added distributor) to fulfil the end customer requirement.

The fast growth is been driven by four major global trends: urbanisation, the growing need for security, technological innovation and the increasing prosperity in the emerging markets.

There has been a paradigm shift in the outlook of PSUs/government organisations to upgrade their security and safety systems. PSIM systems are being deployed for integrating all sensors and real time tracking of incidents and response coordination. submitted by PwC

What are the prevailing challenges and opportunities in Indiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Oil & Gas Security and Safety market? The Oil and Gas sector is one of the most critical non-renewable energy sources for most nations, including India. In India, the oil and gas sector has both government and private players operating in upstream, midstream and downstream areas. As the petroleum products have become the primary source of energy, the associated installations are considered as critical infrastructure of national importance. Keeping the challenges in mind, Oil and Gas sector throws up many opportunities for the Indian safety and security market. The foremost will be to provide solutions for an integrated and comprehensive risk management framework that will include proper risk assessments, design and implementation of a cost effective mitigation solution encompassing physical and cyber security, networking of far-flung assets under one umbrella, coordinating of responses to an incident and sustenance of a robust security posture by periodic reviews and specialised training.The guidelines like OSIPP have to be made more stringent with liabilities and not be left open to individual interpretation as far as possible. Manpower training and verification is another critical area. Another opportunity is monitoring and response services for these clients especially in remote areas which reduces their on roll manpower still maintaining their monitoring and response capabilities.

What are the new threats to Indiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s flourishing Oil & Gas sector? The threat matrix is dynamic keeping in mind the criticality of these assets. World over, these assets have been targeted by terrorists, criminals, hackers as well as by insider threats. In India too, the threats manifest themselves against these assets in the form of cyber threats wherever there is vulnerability in the system and physical threats including natural ones. Employee radicalisation is another threat, which is gaining prominence now which may lead to lone wolf scenarios, espionage and sabotage. With IS and other

radical organisations gaining foothold in the country, the threat of terrorist attacks also increases against these installations. Theft from oil pipelines remains a threat as well as leaks from pipeline. Offshore installations are also a lucrative target for siege/hostage situations as well as piracy. From a safety perspective, they are also vulnerable to loss of stability or station, structural failures and individual safety aspects.

Oil and Gas sector throws up many opportunities for the Indian safety and security market. The foremost will be to provide solutions for an integrated and comprehensive risk management framework that will include proper risk assessments. What are the best practices adopted to secure Oil & Gas sector in India? The oil and gas sector in India is moving towards adopting global best practices in terms of shifting towards technology and automation from the earlier manual base. Organisations are resorting to a comprehensive risk assessment to formulate their risk mitigation plans. PSIM (Physical Security Information Management) systems are being deployed for integrating all sensors and real time tracking of incidents and response coordination. Analytics are being deployed to ensure Puneet Garkhel, Partner, PwC

authentication of alarms as well as to ensure that no incident gets missed. Well trained and enabled response teams based on high mobility vehicles are being used to respond to incidents rather than relying on thin deployment of manpower across all assets to protect t h e m . Solutions are also b e i n g deployed along the

pipelines to check for theft attempts or leak detection. How latest security and safety systems and solutions can help Oil & Gas sector in loss prevention and risk mitigation? Security and safety systems can ensure that the assets are better protected and any incident, be it from safety or security perspective, can be pre-empted or detected earliest and responded in time. This also improves situational awareness and reduces the number of false alarms thus ensuring that the limited resources available are only used for responding to actual incidents thus, reducing operational and manpower costs overall.

The oil and gas sector in India is moving towards adopting global best practices in terms of shifting towards technology and automation from the earlier manual base.

In your opinion, which Oil & Gas Company in India has the Best Security and Safety Management and Systems? Keeping in mind the current threat levels and understanding the situation, private companies in the sector have better standards in security and safety management systems. The PSUs/government organisations are hindered by their legacy systems and processes, however, there has been a paradigm shift in the outlook and the same can be seen in upcoming locations as well as within the organisations trying to upgrade their security and safety systems. How Oil & Gas sector can upgrade their legacy security and safety systems? Organisations need to carry out a need analysis and design a best fit solution through their internal teams or external help from domain experts. An effort should be made to use or at-least integrate as far as possible the existing systems to the planned solution. The upgrade can be done in one time effort or in a phased manner based on criticality that can be measured from the risk assessment and available budget.

What are the suggestions for implementing Oil & Gas sector’s security and safety solutions project? The cycle for such projects is ‘Analyse’, ‘Design’, ‘Implement’ and ‘Review’. The first step is to analyse the need by doing a comprehensive risk assessment and map it to the “As is” state to define the “To be” state. This should also take into account the systems deployed, balance life and efficiency as well as support for that system so that they can be integrated and used. Decision for one time or phasing should be taken based on pre-decided parameters. The new solution should be bundled for best fit for the organisation at that location and not just what is the best available. The equipment specifications should take into account the weather and environment at the installation. As far as possible, the systems should be open in nature. Implementation should be carried out by competent system integrators and the contract should have elements of maintenance in that. AMC contracts also ensure that better grade equipment is provided. The personnel being deployed should be adequately trained and enabled. Regular reviews, both internal and external should be carried out periodically. Outside help can be solicited by the organisations from domain experts to ensure that they receive a comprehensive solution catering to all identified risks.

Logix ITS introduces Smart Traffic Management Logix ITS world leader in traffic calming solutions have implemented many of its solutions like Speed Cameras and Radar Speed sign on Indian roads. The highly impactful and revolutionary technology has helped many cities to bring down speeding vehicles, lowering the number of road accidents. SUBMITTED BY logix

KEY SOLUTIONS & TECHONOLOGIES Logix ITS focuses on developing and manufacturing traffic calming products. The products offer both speed awareness and enforcement. The main product offerings include two solutions based on two important technologies. While Vehicle Actuated Speed Display which works on the unique radar sensing technology helps warn the driver to follow road speed limit, our speed enforcer cameras work on optical time of flight sensing (Leddar) technology to automatically record traffic violations and generate speed tickets without any manual intervention. Thus, the key technologies are Radar Sensing technology for vehicle speed display and Time of Flight Sensing technology for Automatic Speed Detection and Automatic Ticketing.

MARKET RESPONSE TO PRODUCTS AND TECHNOLOGIES The response has been above expectations and the product acceptability has grown manifold in the last one year. Educating people on the benefits of Speed Calming is no longer required as more and more people and departments are realising the need of speed control on Indian roads. The company believes that speed challans are not the only vehicle calming solutions. So, unique products like Radar Feedback Signs play an important role in warning the drivers to control overspeeding. India is among the highest contributors to road accidents and fatalities globally. As Indian infrastructure and affluence is on the rise, the company believes that unless it adapts to new traffic management technologies the problem

will continue to grow. Logix is, therefore, very focussed on contributing towards bringing about this change in India. The acceptance to the new products has now grown. IMPLEMENTATION OF TECHNOLOGIES The company has recently completed a project of deploying speed display signs and enforcement cameras for automatic ticketing in Kolkata. It has done it along with the traffic police there. The company is also in talks with several traffic authorities, NHAI and municipalities for such projects. In addition, it has done projects at Delhi airport, Jaipur city and a couple of highways in Gujarat. Some of the premium industrial and corporate campuses have also bought Logix ITSâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; technology. CHALLENGES Our strength lies in the fact that our technology is in-house. So, we are very flexible and adaptive when it comes to integrating our products based on the customersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; needs. FUTURE PLANS IN THIS SECTOR The company continues to provide more value from its existing products by adding more features and working on the costs to make them more affordable. It will also continue to bring to India specific solutions in the coming months.

AUTOMATED SPEED DETECTION CAMERAS: An Automated speed detection camera is a device that can be mounted beside or over a road or installed in an enforcement vehicle to detect traffic regulation violations, including speeding, vehicles going through a red traffic light, unauthorised use of a bus lane, or for recording vehicles inside a congestion charge area. It may be linked to an automated ticketing system.
