CCTV Cameras Must for Exam The Board of Secondary Education, Assam (Seba), has made CCTV cameras and high boundary walls mandatory in schools that are conducting the Class X state board examination from February next year.The examination centers will be shifted from schools that fail to provide foolproof security arrangements. “Seba wants foolproof security in examination centres. The government has notified the guidelines to the schools concerned. Fraudulent methods will not be allowed any more. About four lakh students will appear in the Class X state board exam scheduled to be held in 850 schools that have been earmarked as examination centers early next year. But sources in Seba said some important centers are yet to meet the guidelines.

CCTV cameras in Aurangabad jail soon Aurangabad divisional jail will soon have 16 CCTV cameras, 16 walkietalkies, two hand-held metal detectors and two door frame metal detectors to keep an eye on the activities of the 150 inmates lodged in the prison. A proposal was sent by the jail administration to the state government early this month which has been approved.

The door frame metal detectors will be installed at the main gate and the security personnel properly trained to handle the equipment.

GST’s Multiple Rates will Dilute Benefits The GST Council, set up to oversee the tax, agreed on a more steeply progressive structure for goods than earlier foreseen with rates of 5, 12, 18 and 28 percent, depending on the kind of product involved. Despite the loose ends, it now looks increasingly likely that parliament, which opens its winter session on Nov. 16, will be able to pass key GST laws, as state assemblies must also do, to keep the launch timeline on track. Officials and experts involved in the policy process say Jaitley took the path of least resistance by pitching tax rates broadly in line with the existing burden to avoid any unwelcome spike in inflation when the GST comes into force.

ire safety is an unpredictable accident. It is merciless. It does not spare anything whether it is assets, human beings or property etc. It does not give prior warning. Many businesses have collapsed when their important documents and assets were gutted in fire. Every year thousands of people are affected by injury and loss of life because of improper or no fire protection planning or compromising on substandard products or solutions. Most commonly fire protection is seen as compliance rather than a necessity. Very rarely is it noticed when the spark lights till it turns to flames. Recommended Fire safety plan structure: • Entire site should be equipped with addressable/non addressable fire detection system of repute. • Key contact information – Quick response and respective roles or responsibilities. • Utility services (Including shut-off valves for water, gas and electric) • Access issues • Dangerous stored materials • Location of people with special needs • Connections to sprinkler system • Layout, drawing, and site plan of building/ site • Maintenance schedules for life safety systems • Personnel training and fire drill procedure • Create safe haven (zone) Planning • Emergency procedures to be used in case of

fire including: sounding the alarm, notifying the fire department, provisions for access for fire-fighting, evacuating, and confining, controlling and extinguishing the fire. • Instructions on fire prevention methods and “What to do in case of fire” which must be given and explained to people. • The appointment and organization of designated supervisory staff by position, with related duties and responsibilities during an emergency. This includes the actions to be taken by supervisory staff in initiating any smoke control or other emergency fire systems prior to the arrival of the fire department where applicable. • The method of training supervisory staff for fire emergencies, method and frequency of conducting fire drills • The control of fire hazards throughout the building. • Detailed maintenance procedures for fire protection systems and building facilities • The identification of alternate fire safety measures in the event of a temporary shutdown of fire protection equipment or systems so that occupant safety can be assured. • Floor Plans / Site Layouts that feature the type, location and operation of fire protection systems, access for firefighting and all exit facilities. Floor plans or site layouts should be prominently displayed. • Detailed instructions for individuals on the use of any emergency equipment such as the voice communication system, the fire alarm system, smoke control system or emergency power system.

• Procedures for the use of elevators and the evacuation of residents requiring special assistance. • Established procedures for assisting the fire department in accessing the building and locating the fire. For large facilities/complexes it is recommended that floor plans showing exit locations be posted on each floor. Advantages • Reduces the incidence of fire through awareness, prevention and training. • Promotes fire hazard identification and elimination • Promotes employee safety and awareness • Increases residents / employee morale by allaying safety concerns • Coordinates business and fire department resources during a fire emergency • Reduces the potential impact of a fire on the business and community (injuries, losses, liability, etc.) • Enhances Fire Code compliance Tools of Trade This starts from detection to evacuation and suppression. • To understand fire dynamics, measurement methods, use of simulation tools are getting popular. • Fire alarms for early detection of any mishap. • Increasing use of sprinklers in residential buildings. • Innovation in fire suppression systems and integration to BMS. • Alternatives to hydrocarbons and Co2 industry is looking for high-pressure water mist.

Green Bay Metro Fire Department Uses Flir K-series Thermal Imaging Cameras to Enhance Safety New technology opens up new possibilities. This is a truth that the Green Bay Metro Fire Department (Wisconsin, USA) knows all too well. The department has always kept an eye on how new technological developments can enhance the safety of its team members and victims during firefighting operatopns. in that respect, Green Bay Metro firrefighters have recently upgrated their gear with thermal imaging cameras (TICs) from FLIR Systems. The Green Bay Metro Fire Department has almost 200 firefighters. They work from eight fir stations - seven in the city and one in Allouez — altogether covering an area which is home to about 125,000 people.

NOVEMBER 2016

“Fire is a very hostile atmosphere for most people, including firefighters,” says Brent Elliott, Division Chief at Green Bay Metro. “When you have smoke that is so thick that you can’t see your hand in front of you, and you couple that with high heat, it’s an atmosphere that’s enough to scare the best of us. The key is being able to rely on the right tools that can help you get through that situation. When you have a tool that allows your team to see through that smoke, it creates a comfort level that allows you to do your job more efficiently and safer than ever before.”

The Green Bay Metro Fire Department selected the FLIR K50 thermal imaging camera to be included in several of its engine and ladder company trucks.

QUICK SCANNING OF STRUCTURES The Green Bay Metro Fire Department selected the FLIR K50 thermal imaging camera to be included in several of its engine and ladder company trucks. The team has been using thermal imaging cameras for structural firefighting ever since the technology was available. But now with the new cameras from FLIR, things have changed dramatically. Brent Elliott: “The thermal cameras allow you to scan an area very rapidly, which is of crucial importance. With older models of TICs, you were only able to search inside a structure, whereas with the new cameras, you have sufficient resolution to allow you to scan the inside as well as the outside of a building, so you have a complete idea of what is happening. Scanning the outside of a structure

of fires. For Green Bay Metro, identifing the flow path and air track by means of thermal imaging allows them to make informed decisions on which firefighting tactic to follow.

With the FLIR K-Series, you have sufficient resolution to allow you to scan the inside as well the outside of a building.

before we go in has become a standard procedure for us, because it can guide us exactly to where we need to be, to the target areas that are most affected.” “There are basically two main strategies for addressing a fire: getting the fire out and getting the people out. Thermal imaging cameras help us in both cases.” But the use of thermal imaging cameras is not limited to fire department also Green Bay Metro fire Department also uses it for a variety of other tasks, including night time search and rescue, water rescue and detection of hazardous materials. And whenever extinguishing activites are finished, a thermal imaging camera is the ideal tool to overhaul the structure in search of hot spots or hidden fires.

IDENTIFYING FLOW PATH AND AIR TRACK “Thermal imaging cameras allow us to control the atmosphere, by identifying a structure’s flow path and air track, “ says Brent Elliott. “This makes it possible to effectively control the fire.” The “flow path” is the movement of air within a structure, while ”air track” is the movement of air around a structure. Both phenomena are critical in the development

There has long been a widely held belief that attaching a fire with water from outside the building would push the fir further into the structure, making conditions beyond the fire worse and potentially increasing the risk to fighters and trapped victims. However, recent research has proven that applying water to the fire as soon as possible from the outside softens the target (often lowering temperatures by hundreds of degrees) and helps firefirehters gain the upper hand. Green Bay Metro uses thermal imagers to assess the situation and ”reset” the fire from outside, but once that has been done the team is sent in with the therman=l imaging cameras for further fire attack and size-up from inside the home. Once conditions inside the structure are assessed, continuing the attack from the inside with the thermal imaging cameras increases the speed and effectiveness of fully extinguishing the fire.

ENHANCING SURVIVABILITY Having used the FLIR K-Series thermal imaging cameras for more than a year now, the outcome is very positive at the Green Bay Metro fire department. “The camera is very compact, light and easy to attach to our coats. One of the great advantages of our new cameras in my opinion is the ability to take pictures. This way, you can actually go out and share with your colleagues exactly what you have seen inside. The temperature scale and gradient display are also vital to our operations. It gives us total clarity about the environment we are operating in and therefore it significantly enhances the survivability of occupants as well as firefighters.”

Brent Elliott, Division Chief, Green Bay Metro. “When you have a tool that allows your team to see through smoke, it creates a comfort level that allows you to do your job more efficiently and safer than ever before.”

CONSTANT OVERVIEW

During firefighting operations, Chief Officers with the Green Bay Fire Department like to stay in the know while team members are entering a building. “In the past, the thermal imaging cameras went in the building with the Crews, but the Officers on the outside lost the ability to monitor for problems due to not having a thermal imaging camera,” says Brent Elliott. To prevent the loss of information gained from thermal imaging cameras, the department invested in four FLIR One personal imagers. The pocket-sized FLIR One transforms a mobile device into a powerful thermal imager that sees heat and accurately measures temperature. The FLIR One mounts to an iPhone and will give the officers a three dimentional look at the fire and at the building the fire is consuming. “By deploying this technolgy, Officers that respond to a fire can keep a constant watch on the fire without talking the tools away from the crews going in,” says Brent Elliott. Today, two Battalion Chiefs and two Division Chiefs are using a FLIR One.

The air, land, and sea transportation systems are the key growth drivers of economy, trade and tourism in India. They enable the safe and secure movement of people, goods and materials. For a huge country like India with its diverse landscape, securing its vast transport networks is the top priority. To secure these transport networks from the surging crime, antisocial behavior, and terrorist attacks, government has introduced dramatic changes in new technologies and strategies, which are been continually developed and upgraded. Staying in alignment with new technologies and best practices is the paramount for protecting infrastructure and public safety. It has become imperative to improve the preparedness and quick response to catastrophic attacks and to find the solutions which are safer, cost-effective, and easy to implement. a&s India explores the vertical market of transportation to share the expert views from the key stakeholders.

According to a new market report published by Transparency Market Research “Transportation and Security System Market - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends and Forecast 2015 - 2021,” the transportation and security system market was valued at USD 36.40 Billion in 2014, which is expected to reach USD 74.50 Billion by 2021, growing at a CAGR of 10.9% from 2015 to 2021. According to IBEF research report, “India has the second largest road network across the world at 4.7 million km. This road network transports more than 60 per cent of all goods in the country and 85 per cent of India’s total passenger traffic. Road transportation has gradually increased over the years with the improvement in connectivity between cities, towns and villages in the country.” The report states, “The Indian roads carry almost 90 per cent of the country’s passenger traffic and around 65 per cent of its freight. In India sales of automobiles and movement of freight by roads is growing at a rapid rate. Cognizant of the need to create an adequate road network to cater to the increased traffic and movement of goods, Government of India has set earmarked 20 per cent of the investment of US$ 1 trillion reserved for infrastructure during the 12th Five-Year Plan (2012–17) to develop the country’s roads.” By systems, the transportation and security system market has been sub-divided into access control, surveillance, fire safety, scanning and biometrics. Access control forms the basis of any security system and is used in a large scale in all airports, railway stations and bus terminals and thus, the demand is expected to increase through the forecast period. Surveillance also forms a vital part of transportation security. Surveillance with the help of CCTV cameras in aircrafts and trains helps to monitor any criminal activities and thus enhances transportation security. Fire safety has been made compulsory in different modes of transportation by various countries globally which is further driving the overall market.

Latest Developments

According to Yogesh B. Dutta, COO, Aditya Infotech, “The transport security segment is growing at a stupendous pace. The need for securing transport has never been as important. The sheer volume of people travelling through public transport and the security threats associated with it makes it imperative for securing public transports.” He further added, “Technology wise, there have been significant advances with the

mobile solutions for high definition imagery and efficient monitoring. Among others are the introduction of vandal-proof cameras, shock-proof DVRs/ NVRs, vehicle tracking system (3G+GPRS), built-in/ external storage, programmed back-up, two-way communication, and prompt alerts in the event of any deviation from the designed course. “ According to Ashish P. Dhakan,CEO & MD, Prama Hikvision, “In a big metro like Mumbai or New Delhi where more than 25 million commute each day (more than Australia’s population!) by local trains and another 25 million people by buses, security is of paramount importance. Not only the to and fro trip should be made swiftly but also safely and securely. The bomb blasts in the local trains and the gory incident at the world’s busiest railway station at Chatrapati Shivaji Terminus (CST) in Mumbai on 26/11/ 2008 had necessitated the local transportation authorities to beef up security at all suburban stations.” According to Jatin Desai Product Manager of Access Control and TimeAttendance Solutions, Matrix Comsec, “Transportation security is very important for ensuring timely operations and risk free passenger travelling. The major components of transportation security and safety system include Access Control and surveillance. However, various other technologies are used in the transportation security.” They are as follows: • Bottled Liquids Scanner • Biometric Scanners for Access Control • Explosive Detection System • Explosive Trace Detection According to Pravin Surana, Managing Director, Morpho Detection India, “For air travel, the major development impacting transport security is growth. In August, domestic air travel was 25 percent higher than 2015 – driven in large part by low-cost carriers. To secure this and the anticipated continued growth of commercial air travel, airports and airlines are reviewing and enhancing security protocols. With unique demands that differ from a controlled airport environment, mass transit metro systems and railways are investing in new security infrastructure to accommodate demand and expansion.” According to Sourav Banerjee, Regional Sales Manager, South Asia, “One of the latest development which I see is in the area of automation or Integration of fare collection system with banking system through smart card. The latest trend is to have a converge card which will be issued by a bank and could be used in multiple places like metro rail, bus ticket, atm etc. Also metro is coming in most of the major cities in India and all the airports are getting revamped to increase the passenger handling capacity. In a nutshell the transportation sector is expanding to meet the compliment the economic growth.

Opportunities and Challenges

“Opportunities are aplenty. Mobile solutions are flexible enough to be integrated into almost any functionality of a vehicle to up the security ante. For instance, when a mobile surveillance solution is integrated with an access control solution in a school bus, parents can be intimated by SMS/ email when their child boards the vehicle,” observed Yogesh B. Dutta He further added, “Challenges include inadequate training of system integrators that is a prerequisite to successful system installation; lack of adequate knowledge to be able to advise clients the best solutions for their requirements; and bandwidth limitations affecting the uniformity of results.” “In April this year Shan-e-Punjab Express became India’s first train to have CCTV cameras installed in all coaches, as part of Railways’ efforts to strengthen security of passengers particularly women travelers. About 122 surveillance cameras have been installed in all 21 coaches including ladies compartments at an estimated cost of Rs 36 lakh,” said Ashish P. Dhakan. “Safety and security are addressed through a variety of technologies ranging from vehicle tracking systems, silent alarms, and security cameras to personal handheld devices,” suggested Ashish P. Dhakan. “From Matrix perspective we see following opportunities and challenges,” said Jatin Desai. Opportunities: • Indian Economy Growing at a very Healthy Rate • Large Transportation Sector Including Public and Private Services • Largest Rail Network in the World • 125+ Airports in India Challenges • Restricting Access of Intruders in Sensitive Areas • Safe Guarding Freight Containers which carry Valuable Assets • Protecting Passengers and Their Valuables • Tracking Transporting Vehicles “The transportation sector in any large city or metropolitan area faces numerous challenges in securing the large populations that use public transportation, the city’s streets and highways, and airports and seaports to get from point A to point B,” said Mike Prysock, Global Vertical Market Manager, Airports/Seaports, Pelco by Schneider Electric.

NOVEMBER 2016

He further added, “Transportation is critical to any thriving urban area. This sector faces a number of challenges, including ensuring the safety of motorists from natural disasters and attacks, as well as making sure traffic is flowing and pedestrians are safe. The industry presents a significant opportunity for manufacturers that are willing to listen to the needs of city officials and work hand-inhand with city planners and law enforcement to ensure the best possible solution.” “Advances in explosives detection and screening technologies have created an opportunity for all-sized airports and transportations systems to invest in scalable solutions to screen passengers and baggage quicker, more accurately and less-invasively. For example, more metro

Emerging Threats

“With the increasing dependence on technology, the most significant challenge that is posed is that of cybercrime. Theft, tampering and vandalism of data is and emerging security threat in the transport sector. As of now, a significant percentage of the transport security sector continues to remain ill-equipped with security measures to cope with an emergency, should there be one,” informed Yogesh Dutta. According to Jatin Desai, “The threat perceptions are related to people and goods.” There are two sides of transportation: • Companies that Move Goods (Freight and Shipping Companies) • Companies that Move People (Passenger Transportation Companies) • Physical Security of Passengers (a) Terrorist Attacks and Hi-Jacking (b) Theft or Robbery • Freight Security (a) Theft or Damage “Technology is changing the face of transport security, offering more high-quality image capture using less light than ever before. Traditionally, cameras set on busy street corners gathered a wealth of information during the day, but had a hard time delivering picture clarity at night. Today’s surveillance solutions incorporate low-light functionality that provides officials with the best possible view of possible incidents that might arise,” observed Mike Prysock. He further added, “Additionally, analytics gathered from video data plays a large role in how cities handle problems, such as major congestion in certain areas. Using analytics to identify busy times on a major throughway can help city planners and officials identify problem areas and work toward building a plan that addresses these issues.”

threat of employees and contractors with access to secure areas that aren’t required to undergo the same mandated screening passengers must. Combined with rapidly growing demand for travel, this has made the deployment of advanced detection solutions more urgent,” said Pravin Surana. “Transportation sector could be one of the easy and soft targets in coming days because targeting that cause huge human life damage and also it shakes the economy. Apart from containing the terrorism problem though surveillance system, analytics and access control we need to give importance to modern drives like anti collision system or early warning system as these could help avoid accidents and in turn save like and property. With more and more growth in transportation sector we could be vulnerable

to more accidents which we can avoid by using latest anti collision devices,” said Sourav Banerjee. “Public transit has increasingly become a target for attacks to unfold, as well as dayto-day instances of vandalism, burglaries, accidents and harassment. With these threats, there is significant opportunity for video surveillance technology to take a central part in securing public transit,”opined Jumbi Edulbehram.

technologies are frequently combined with other technologies, such as mobile data computers (MDCs) or computer-aided dispatch (CAD) devices. Silent Alarm Systems Silent alarms aka panic buttons, can be operated by a vehicle operator, alert authorities to problems onboard the vehicle. These alarms are often integrated and placed in a covert location, so the vehicle operator

can activate the alarm without being noticed. This can be particularly helpful in the event of a vehicle hijacking. When the signal is activated, the dispatchers know the location of the bus because all buses have GPS-based AVL( Automatic Vehicle Locator). Security Cameras Security cameras on vehicles as well as security cameras at transit stops are perhaps the most obvious security technology employed. Large, easily visible cameras are effective at making surveillance known to the passengers. Live camera feeds from vehicles can be very helpful in emergency situations. At transit stops where traditional hardwire communications networks are available, it is more common to find cameras providing live video feeds that are monitored in real time. A variety of analog , HDTVI and IP Cameras acquire High-definition video footage of the vehicle’s interiors as well as surrounding environment. Recorders Embedded mobile NVRs and DVRs provide reliable on board video recording. Multiple accessories are also supported to provide valuable features like status indication, two way audio and panic alarm. “Matrix provides comprehensive solutions for the transportation industry. With a combined hardware and software product solution, security can be enhanced,” suggested Jatin Desai. Biometric Access Control: Restricts access in sensitive areas. Multi-Spectral Fingerprint Scanner: Ensures high security as it would reject and notify in case of fake fingers being used. • User friendly software to pre-define a route for transporting a vehicle and track it. “Morpho Detection’s Itemiser family of desktop ETD systems have been in-service at airports, air cargo facilities, and railways throughout India for several years. Most recently, the next-generation Itemiser 4DX has achieved the industry leading position at European airports for its non-rad source, ease of use and Morpho Detection’s unmatched global service footprint. To fully utilize the operational benefits of Itemiser 4DX, we work with customers to integrate Remote Connect networking software. As a result, Itemiser 4DX installations can now achieve true central station capabilities including remote monitoring, programming, system maintenance and the seamless storing and retrieval of data. These capabilities are essential for growing airports to integrate new infrastructure and detection capabilities while meeting reporting requirements of new security mandates,” suggested Pravin Surana.

“We have recently done a project on Smart card to stop pilferage in Logistics. Every consignment details in loaded in the smart card carried by the driver and he needs to hand over the same to depot manager to verify and cross check when the truck reaches the destination. Transportation sector needs stable and robust product because of its nature of business and we have industrial grade HIRSCH access controllers which are very stable, offers high data security and can survive in inclement weather or condition,” suggested Sourav Banerjee. “Transit applications are an ideal fit for easily adaptable, scalable and reliable 360-degree camera technology. Train and bus stations are logical locations where 360-degree camera technology can protect platforms by allowing security officials the flexibility to pan or zoom into every corner of a station, eliminating the need for a large number of traditional cameras that can miss critical areas of concern. Coupled with built-in analytics that can be used to count passengers or track the flow of traffic, and these solutions can significantly improve business operations and planning for future investments,” suggested Jumbi Edulbehram.

This is presently a major roadblock that needs to be addressed. With high speed internet, the possibilities are immense. Additionally focus on cloud storage will reduce the dependence on hardware thereby increasing the security levels even further,” opined Yogesh B. Dutta. “Comprehensive high-definition video monitoring helps authorities to deal with complex situations like pick pocketing, drunken driving, behavior of irate passengers, traffic accidents and terrorism. Pictures and videos can be instantly relayed to law enforcement authorities for investigation,” suggested Ashish P. Dhakan. He further added, “Transportation security can be best achieved through well-designed security systems that are integrated with transportation operations. The concept of a layered security system, in which multiple security features are connected and provide backup for one another, has a particular advantage. Perfect execution by each element in the system is not crucial, because other elements can compensate.” According Ashish P. Dhakan,“In order to have an effective transportation security it is imperative to have broad guidelines.” They are as follows: • Receive, assess, and distribute intelligence information related to transportation security. • Assess threats to transportation. • Develop policies, strategies, and plans for protecting against threats to transportation, mitigating damage from attacks, and responding to and recovering from attacks. • Make other plans related to transportation security, including coordination of

countermeasures with appropriate departments and agencies. • Serve as the primary liaison for transportation security to the intelligence and law enforcement communities. • Enforce security- related regulations and requirements. • Inspect, maintain, and test security facilities, equipment and systems. • Ensure the adequacy of security measures for the transportation of passengers and cargo. • Identify and undertake research and development activities necessary to enhance transportation security. • Last but not the least never leave anything to chance.

California Airport Turns to Pelco for a Complete Video Surveillance Solution Fresno Yosemite International Airport leads the way in adoption of advanced VideoXpert platform SUBMITTED BY PELCO

NOVEMBER 2016

www.asindia.in

The Customer Located in the Central San Joaquin Valley, Fresno Yosemite International Airport (FAT) is a regional aviation hub in heart of California that serves more than 1.2-million passengers annually. The airport, which was formerly known as Hammer Airfield, was used by the U.S. Army Air Force during World War II as a training base, and had three sub-bases and two gunnery rages. After the facility opened to commercial air travel in 1948, the airport was renamed “Fresno Air Terminal.” The airport received its current moniker in 1996 as part of an effort to reflect its geographic location to three national parks – Yosemite, Kings Canyon and Sequoia. Today, the airport is home to eight different airlines that provide non-stop service from FAT, to 10 different domestic and international locations. The airport encompasses more than 2,000 acres, and features two runways and associated taxiways that are capable of accommodating most airline fleets. As with any airport, the use of video surveillance is absolutely critical to ensuring the safety and security of both passengers and staff at FAT.

The Challenge One year ago, as part of what is essentially a never-ending process of evaluating and upgrading surveillance technology where it is needed, the airport’s security team, which is lead by City of Fresno Airports Chief of Public Safety Joe Maskovich, reached out to its longtime systems integrator, Angstrom Technology Group, to look at incorporating next-generation surveillance hardware and software into its current infrastructure. Since Angstrom became the airport’s integrator of choice nearly 11 years ago, David Lascano, the firm’s owner, said the company has made a concerted effort to install surveillance technology only from Pelco by Schneider Electric because of the company’s track record of providing reliable, high-quality products. FAT initially began with approximately 50 analog cameras in the early to mid-2000s, but the system has now grown to more than 200 cameras, the majority of which are IP. But just having a standard, run-of-the-mill surveillance solution is simply not good enough for Maskovich or Lascano, which is the reason for implementing a wide variety of new cameras, including high-definition, panoramic models from the Pelco Optera and Evolution lines, and the thermal imaging Sarix line. “We have been testing and using some phenomenal cameras from Pelco. Some of the cameras that are going up now, when I see the level of resolution, I’m just blown away,” said Maskovich. Among some of the other surveillance hardware recently installed in FAT include 11 high-definition decoders, one gateway server, one core server, two 48-terabyte and three 36-terabyte video storage servers, and one workstation within the airport’s communications center. However, in addition to these significant hardware upgrades,

The Solution While the security team at FAT had successfully used the Endura and Digital Sentry video management systems for years, stakeholders wanted to further enhance functionality of the VMS used to provide security professionals with the ability to make fast, effective decisions in the event of a threat. Perhaps the most important capability officials sought was a way to streamline investigations, which can be a very time-consuming and labor-intensive process. For example, if an incident involving a traveler occurs in the airport, surveillance system managers must piece together clips from individual cameras to be able to retrace that individual’s steps through the terminal. However, with VideoXpert, that process has become effortless, allowing operators to export the entire investigation as a single file and share with the proper authorities. “With VideoXpert, you can tailor the investigation and bring all of the cameras into the timeline simultaneously,” explained Lascano. For example, if a passenger walks into the terminal at 9 a.m., and a security event occurs involving that particular passenger, operators can trim footage to include a specific incident at a specific time as that passenger walks through the terminal. Prior to implementing VideoXpert, FAT had to reference multiple interfaces to achieve the same result. VideoXpert now provides a single interface for such an investigation. “It is a great move forward,” Lascano said. Having over 200 cameras – many of which are of the fixed variety – Maskovich added that this capability within VideoXpert also simplifies the entire process for investigators charged with reviewing incidents. The VMS also allows for extensive, customized integrations with a variety of hardware and software applications, including analytics, license plate recognition, point of sale, event/alarm management and much more. “With this operating system, video clips are correlated and it makes it very easy for anyone to see the whole incident even though it involves separate recorded video from different cameras,” said Maskovich. VideoXpert has an intuitively designed user interface that provides easy navigation to users, streamlining responses to threats or suspicious behavior in real-time. The platform boasts flexibility and scalability in a reliable, modular architecture, enabling growth along with the growth of an organization. At its core, VideoXpert maintains a database of cameras and recording devices that can be managed through a convenient Web-based interface where operators can configure and manage the system functionality. VideoXpert’s Op Center supports up to six uniquely configurable monitors, each capable of displaying up to 16 video streams simultaneously – critical for a busy airport environment that sees thousands of passengers coming and going every single day. From an integration perspective, because VideoXpert was designed to enable customers to reuse components of the Digital Sentry and Endura platforms, installing and setting up the system was made that much easier. “Having that existing infrastructure in place helped tremendously,” said Lascano. “It was very simple. The migration tool worked perfectly and setup was minimal.” And while the security staff was a bit apprehensive about having to learn a new VMS, having Endura still running in the background provided them with the ability to become more familiar with VideoXpert while still having the old platform to leverage if needed.

“One of the things that simplified the transition for us is that we had both systems running in parallel. They could use either system and we made both workstations available so they could be logged into both systems simultaneously,” he said. “We’re deploying cameras all the time and expanding surveillance beyond the terminal to cover our entire perimeter,” concluded Maskovich. “We’re also adding thermal imaging cameras that will help us with intrusion detection. We are constantly examining the solutions we have in place and looking at ways to improve how we conduct investigations, provide operators with a greater amount of situational awareness and streamlining business operations. Our systems are a work in progress, and we’re glad to have a partner in Pelco that will help us be successful.”

“

the airport’s security operators also needed a video management system (VMS) that could simplify some of the most complex day-to-day challenges that the airport faced and provide exceptional situational awareness to help identify and mitigate threats as they are identified. As a result, Maskovich and Lascano decided to become one of the early adopters for Pelco by Schneider Electric’s VideoXpert™ VMS platform.

Gladius Enables Pharma Manufacturing Firm Achieve Compliance through Cost-effective and Unified Video Surveillance and Video Storage Management Solution Installation ensures centralized video surveillance and increased operational efficiency. SUBMITTED BY MINDTREE

multinational pharmaceutical company based in Hyderabad, India, which manufactures and sells an extensive range of pharmaceuticals. The manufacturing unit in Hyderabad is a sprawling area of 10,000 square feet facility that is guarded using 210 cameras of different brands. The manufacturing process-line inside the plant has 60 high-definition Sony cameras. Pharmaceutical businesses operate in a highly regulated environment. These companies are required to demonstrate compliance in several areas including the manufacturing process. Other than documentation, companies now record high quality videos (1080 pixels at 25 frames/ second) of all production processes and retain them in a reliable storage medium for future access. These recordings help demonstrate compliance without ambiguity. Likewise, our client firm sought to record each aspect of their drug manufacturing process from raw materials, intermediates, final products, and packing materials – and preserve the recordings for a period of 3-12 years and make them available during regulatory inspection. The high-resolution, continuous video recording

amounted to a large volume of data and posed a challenge in terms of storage. There was approximately 340 GB of video from 60 HD cameras every year. The company was initially storing all the recordings online on their servers; but growing volume of storage on expensive server space was leading to an exponential rise in costs. There was an immediate need to reduce the video storage to a healthy size. Tape drives were a less expensive alternative to store data that was being accessed only during inspections. However, there was the challenge of transferring the recordings from online servers to offline tape drives, as the process called for an expensive software. The company’s increasing storage needs and limited budget option put them in a dilemma - whether to keep storing video recordings on expensive servers or to archive them in less expensive tape drive, by investing in additional software. After deep research, the firm chose Mindtree’s Gladius Video Management Software (VMS) with integrated storage management solution to solve their dual needs of video surveillance (security) and video storage management – all this without purchasing additional software. Using a single interface solution, the company is now able to secure their premise and keep their storage costs within budget. The company analyzed the offerings of many competitive companies and found Mindtree’s Gladius as the only solution that provided them recording on online storage and archiving on offline storage. The firm was able to maximize the retention value from limited available storage through a unique feature in Gladius solution - an option to categorize video recordings from different sets of cameras as high, medium and low priority. For each category, the user could configure different overriding policies such as number of days before override. Thus with varying priorities, storage space is used in an efficient manner; the client is now able to extract more value from their storage investments.

Dahua Technology Sets a New Record for LFW Facial Recognition Dahua Technology, a global leader in video surveillance solution, sets a New Record for LFW Facial Recognition. Beating the record set previously by Baidu, Tencent, Google and others.

SUBMITTED BY DAHUA TECHNOLOGY

ecently, the facial recognition technology team from Dahua Technology presented their results for Labeled Faces in the Wild (LFW), which is a worldwide authoritative facial recognition database test set. With a series of technical improvements, the Dahua-FaceImage facial recognition system was not only ahead of Google, Facebook, Baidu, and Tencent, it also set a new LFW record and placed Dahua’s facial recognition technology in a world leading position. LFW was established in 2007 by the University of Massachusetts and is used to evaluate the performance of facial recognition algorithms under unconstrained conditions. It is the most widely used evaluation set in the field of facial recognition. Up until now, a few dozen teams from around the globe have provided more than 80 test results. These teams come from companies including Google, Facebook, Microsoft Research Asia, Baidu, Tencent, SenseTime, Face++, Chinese University of Hong Kong and other leading teams from industry and academia. Many of the top ranking methods have played a crucial role in promoting the development of facial recognition technology.

NOVEMBER 2016

In recent years, most of the improvement in facial recognition technology was achieved by the development of deep learning. Deep learning is a machine learning approach that simulates the human neural system. The functions of Convolutional Neural Networks (a commonly used deep learning model) are closely related to network depth. However, since deep networks are difficult to optimize, the network depth for facial recognition methods of the past generally range from a few to a few dozen layers. Dahua’s facial recognition technology team has designed a network with a depth of over a hundred layers (this is currentlythe deepest network layersamongst facial recognition system that has been announced). This enables a new type of metric learning method which allows the similarity score to be higher for images of the same person. At the same time it lowers the similarity score between images of two different people. Combined with a highly efficient online sampling technique, the rate of convergence

Figure 1. LFW evaluation results indicate that Dahua-FaceImagedelivered the best result.

can also be greatly increased. By training multiple models and using a non-linear multi-model integration technique, Dahua has achieved an accuracy of 99.78% for the LFW dataset. Dahua’s facial recognition technology team is part of the advanced technology research institute in our R&D center, where its abundant resources in deep learning technology, hardware, data and other aspects, supported the team to deliver high performance outcome. The team supports Dahua’s facial recognition related products (face detection, face feature point location, face recognition, face attribute analysis,

Figure 2. Schema for Dahua facial recognition technology

smile detection and so on) and provides the technology to ensure robust commercial implementation. Spokesperson for the Dahua facial recognition technology team, Professor Wang Haiyang indicated that achieving high accuracy in open data sets had motivated his team to work on the more challenging implementation in real-life situations. Dahua has been a leader in the security and video surveillanceindustry for many years, and accumulated a huge volume of video data. By utilizing this data to adjust the learning model, the performance of the algorithm in real-life situations has been greatly improved. Furthermore, the security application requires the recognition algorithms to response quickly. The technical team used network pruning and a multi-model feature sharing technique to greatly reduce redundant operations so that the amount of calculations required for networks with over a hundred layers is similar to that for networks with only a few dozen layers.

Figure 3. Dahua’s huge volume of recorded video data for facial recognition

Dahua’s facial recognition technology has already been applied to public security, finance, and other areas. At the latest G20 summit, which has been at the center of attention, Dahua’s facial recognition technology was successfully applied toenhance the security level. Dahua cameras were deployed in core G20 activity areas and in many traffic hubs.Real-time images captured were automatically matched with security blacklists in the back-end. When a high-risk person showed up in the video, the system will issue a warning message to command center to dispatch response immediately. This system played an important role during the G20 summit and assisted police in arresting a number of fugitives while the system was still in its commissioning phase. Customer oriented and open innovation have been the core value of Dahua Technology. Dahua’s facial recognition technology is reflecting our commitment to provide customers with better technology and services to implement more sophisticated solutions at lower costs.

Dubai Airports Owns One of the Largest Omnicast Systems in the World with Almost 8000 Cameras Dubai Airports chose Genetec Omnicast IP video surveillance for its proven ability to scale up to thousands of cameras, while maintaining high system availability. SUBMITTED BY GENETEC

Business Challenge Dubai Airports is the designated government authority in the United Arab Emirates which owns and manages the operation and development of both of Dubai’s airports – Dubai International (DXB) and Al Maktoum International (DWC). While Dubai International has been the main airline hub since 1960, welcoming over 68 million passengers per year and serves 260 destinations, upon completion, Al Maktoum International (which opened its doors to passengers in 2013) will become the largest airport in the world with an ultimate capacity of more than 160 million passengers annually. When it comes to security and protecting the millions of passengers who frequent the airports every year, Dubai Airports require the very best security technology on the market. A decade ago, the organization sought to upgrade an existing closed-architecture analog system, understanding before many other airports the value in an open-architecture IPbased video surveillance system. Dubai Airports wanted to implement a more robust, userfriendly and scalable network-based platform that would be capable of handling over 1000 cameras, and accommodate its ambitious expansion plans. The new video surveillance system also had to be successfully implemented at other international airports. After much deliberation, Dubai Airports chose Genetec Omnicast IP video surveillance for its proven ability to scale up to thousands of cameras, while maintaining high system availability.

NOVEMBER 2016

www.asindia.in

High Camera Count Is Matched by High System Availability Today, Dubai Airports has over 6,500 cameras on the Omnicast system at Dubai International and another 1,200 cameras at Al Maktoum International, which were gradually upgraded in three phases. The flexibility of the open architecture video surveillance system allowed Dubai Airports to preserve existing analog investments by simply adding IP encoders, while also installing newer IP camera models throughout the expansion. The most significant benefit of using Omnicast has been its ability to maintain the highest level of system availability. Since each terminal and concourse has its own security team actively monitoring the cameras

around the clock, the support for multicast streaming has been crucial to Dubai Airports. Multicasting helps to minimize network traffic and optimize bandwidth in installations where multiple users are accessing the same live video source. With a multicast transmission, operators actually connect to a multicast IP address of the video stream which is shared amongst all users. This adds another level of reliability to the system by ensuring the network is stable and optimized within this massive installation. Cutting-Edge Features in Omnicast Lead to Efficient Response Since each subsystem has been installed independently, Dubai Airports has leveraged the Federation™ feature from Genetec to easily access any camera throughout the airports as if they were all part of a single system. From any workstation or control room, airport authorities with appropriate privileges can get a global view of their security operations, and handle live incidents with all video evidence at their fingertips. With just under 8000 cameras to manage, and more expansion plans on the horizon, Dubai Airports is leveraging the interactive map-based interface called Plan Manager. Operators can quickly find cameras, change a camera’s field of view, or respond to alarms directly from a map of a specific terminal or concourse. This feature has significantly minimized the time and effort required by operators to find cameras, since they no longer have to memorize camera numbers or to search through long tree lists. The open architecture of Omnicast has also enabled Dubai Airports to integrate with existing third-party access control systems. Access control events such as a door being forced open, access denied to a cardholder or a door remaining opened for too long, automatically prompt video of nearby cameras to display on screen. With this integration, operators have a comprehensive view of their surroundings, enabling a more efficient response and tighter control over restricted airport areas. Continued Growth Assured with Genetec The intuitiveness and complete reliability of the 8,000-camera Omnicast system has assured Dubai Airports that its continued system expansion will never be limited. “We have the flexibility and peace of mind to not only expand and customize our system at our own pace, but we are also able to provide our operators with the tools they need to vigilantly maintain the highest levels of safety and security within our airports,” explained Senior Airport official.

This will provide day and night vigilance and provide high definition image quality making surveillance much more reliable,” added Jay Thakker, Director, Unicom Infotel.

Key Factors for Evaluating Surveillance Cameras The security needs of organizations keep evolving and so do new products; in this scenario, security managers have to choose from wide range of seemingly similar equipment for their surveillance needs. This article is aimed to help identify some key characteristics which are important for the planned deployment scenario. By Vivekanand Senior Software Engineer, Vehant Technologies

Lens quality is also an important factor. The choice of a substandard lens and sub-optimal compression settings can ruin the advantage from the extra megapixels.

Low Light Performance and Lux Ratings:

Vivekanand,

Senior Software Engineer, Vehant Technologies

Resolution, Bit Rate and Compression

NOVEMBER 2016

www.asindia.in

The common notion is that the higher the resolution, the better the camera e.g a 2 Megapixel camera (usually 1920x1080 or Full-HD) is better than a 1 Megapixel camera (usually 1280x720 or 1280x800). While resolution is an important factor, it is not the only factor which determines â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;usableâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; image/video quality. Compression and bitrate (or bandwidth) is also a major driver. H264* is the most prevalent codec used (some manufacturers have also started preliminary H265 offerings) for recording. Bitrate is the average size (in bits per second) of the compressed video stream. A higher compression setting (or profile, quantization level, quality for some manufacturers) lowers the bitrate, and consequently the videosize on disk. Beyond a point, however this starts degrading the image quality, making the video blocky and introducing artifacts, and consequently lower clarity and utility of the stored video. Also, H264 implementations from different manufacturers differ in their efficiency, especially under frequent motion and low light scenarios.

For capturing low light scenes camera with lower lux rating are usually preferred but lux ratings are however, often deceptive, so they must always be compared in conjunction with exposure value, gain and lens aperture eg same camera could be specified as (0.6 Lux, F1.4) or (0.1 Lux, 30 IRE) or (0.01 Lux, F1.0, Sens-Up). When comparing two cameras in low light settings, one should keep exposure value (expressed in fraction of second) fixed and same; it must not be high otherwise the resulting image/video will have motion blur making details like faces, number etc unclear. With changing technology, cameras with integrated IR have come to rescue and performing much better in lower light. To cater wide range of illumination possibilities, WDR cameras should be preferred which have in-built multi-exposure image capturing and combining capabilities.

Type of Image Sensor

The impact of sensor size on image quality is often underestimated. For the same resolution, a larger sensor usually offers better low light performance. Wide-angle cameras usually require low focal length lenses, which introduces distortions, especially around the periphery (the fisheye effect being an extreme case). Larger sensors can significantly reduce these distortions by using larger focal lengths to cover the same FOV. Larger sensor solutions costs slightly extra but in many cases it is worthwhile the extra investment.

The debate about CCD vs CMOS has mostly died down. CMOS sensor technology has come a long way from the poor-quality grainy imagery initial days, to the extent that many SLR cameras now sport CMOS sensors. Most surveillance manufacturers now use CMOS sensors; CCD sensors now being mostly used for cameras with specific requirements. Linescan vs AreaScan sensors for specialized applications like Under Vehicle Inspection and X-Ray Scanning is another debated subject. Line scan cameras work in 1D and captures one (or few) line(s) at a time using a linear sensor. Originally conceived for high speed assembly line inspection, linescan sensors usually have very high linerates and use motion of the object (or sensor) to generate the second dimension of the image. Linescan cameras found their place in security applications in absence of competing areascan technology capable of handling high-speed motion at high resolutions. Linescan sensors are very cost-efficient and high resolution when the speed of object (or camera) motion is constant and controlled. Hence, Xray baggage scanners continue to emply linescan sensors; whereas for applications like undervehicle scanning the user scenarios like vehicle acceleration/slowing and even complete stoppage conditions cannot be handled by linescan sensors. By using image mosaicing techniques, areascan sensor based systems have managed to overcome these limitations of traditional linescan technology. The rapid growth of areascan sensors and camera technologies in the last decade, coupled with corresponding growth in computation capabilities has enabled areascan sensors to start finding larger application base in the security and inspection domains.

market is growing at a stupendous pace Aditya Khemka, CEO & Director, Aditya Infotech

Start-up trend outlook - 2016

The Indian Security Market is poised to grow incredulously. As the need for more efficient and reliable security systems continue to grow, key trends marking the growth of the market over the next year will include, increased adoption of Internet of Things (IoT); increased focus on cyber security policies and procedures; andvideo analytics for analyzing data and using it to further improve on the organizationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s efficiency of operations. Undoubtedly, the security revolution will continue tomanifestin close association with the IT world, opening up new possibilities to detect and deter security threats more effectively.

Challenges & opportunities

Lack of awareness & knowledge, and process standardization continues to overshadow the security industry. The unorganized sector being significantly bigger than the organized sector, There is no single, nationally established strategic approach to regulate security frameworks or central monitoring. As such, the effectiveness of the entire securing process is often discounted. Furthermore, the increased dependency on technology has exposed the industry to cyber security concerns. The industry needs to put into place measures to secure all the data being generated.

NOVEMBER 2016

That said, the security market in India offers opportunities at various levels as well, including transition, upgrades, customization, and other value added services. With effective customer training, education, and feedback mechanism in place, security solutions are both accessible and affordable today.

Latest Trends

Flexible solutions, integrated analytics, high definition imagery, vandal-proof housings, and affordable solutions are factors influencing the rapid growth of the Indian security market

www.asindia.in

A number of start-up security companies are redefining security and thereby rewriting the future of the industry. As one of them ourselves, we can safely say that we have been able to change the way security is perceived. What was earlier thought of as a commercial requirement, has now been redefined as a basic need. Today, surveillance has now become an integral part of homes and commercial undertakings, and its utility and significance is only growing by the day.

innovate and grow

The security industry is constantly evolving, and R&D is imperative to developing better products & services. Manufacturers, especially new players, require funds to undertake R&D. As such venture capital funding can be enabling in a major way.

Growth Rate

The Indian security market is growing at a stupendous pace owing to the changing market dynamics and consumer behavior. The concept of a one-stop shop model has gained significant momentum as customers seek to decrease their integration costs. Also making waves currently is the adoption of IP based technology over analog solutions. Moreover, the emergence of Intelligent Facility Management Systems, exhibitions & seminars, and security industry publications are indications that the security industry is riding on a growth wave.

REFORMS

Possibly the most effective way to boosting the growth of the security industry in India is to educate and train. Be it distributors, partners, system integrators, or even end users, educating is by far the best way to generate awareness about the significance of security in the present times. While educating and training distributors and system integrators (by way of certifications and training programs) would ensure that the service quality is improved, educating users would ensure that they understand the necessity of security & surveillance. Furthermore, there needs to be policies and procedures to keep the unorganized sector in check so that the security solutions available in the market are credible and reliable.

India is a fastest growing market at the moment Milind M. Borkar,

Vice President of Sales, Infinova, March Networks, Swann M.E. Africa & SAARC

outlook - 2016

India is a fastest growing market at the moment for security business, compared to other countries. However quality is taking backstage and price is increasingly becoming an important factor. We faced similar situation in Middle East and Africa. However, these countries have soon realized that low cost products won’t sustain for a long period as they see their systems fail and also observe RMA issues. However, the situation is changed now and they have started replacing their system since the past 1-2 years, by changing their policy from price focused procurement to focus on the combination of quality, performance and price. In India, we still need to realize this issue and sooner we realize, better for our country. Infinova does not compete with companies owned by Chinese government and is focused primarily on solution business rather than box push.

Challenges and Opportunities

With reference to Mumbai City Surveillance Project, one of the challenges was successful performance at the POC. Our products were tested for several days, nearly over a month, and it has been tested with different scenarios. Our team have worked tirelessly to ensure this POC was a success. Entire team has been working with close – coordination assuring quick support and turnaround, regardless of anytime during the day. We also showcased our capability of serving such major projects through our strong credentials which we achieved over several years. This helped to keep some of our critics away from following not-so-correct practices. It is extremely essential for project owners to realize the responsibility of proposing a solution to a project rather than proposing box products. It is extremely essential at this point of time to realize the kind of solution offering and the support provided to complement the offering. We are capable to customize and integrate to several systems and sub-systems in quick time as we have our software R&D based out of India and we are able to offer all these customizations to the customer without charging a penny. All these factors are essential

for selecting an appropriate solution and it’s high time the project owners realize it. We are happy the government is progressing towards closing the projects in quick-time and not just lingering around for several years. The decision making with this government is quick and we can see affirmative results through so many Smart City projects now being under implementation. The government is appointing reputed consultants who assure recent technology systems are being deployed in projects. However, still the decision making is handled from state to state and since all our fingers are not the same, so is the decision making in all our states. We hope this improves over a period of time. Simplifying the complicated cost structure involving several taxbreakup’s and combining this into a single GST tax, will always turn up as an advantage. However, there are positives and limitations for every financial change in the taxation system. We will have to wait and see how this eventually turns up to benefitting the society and security industry.

Projects

We are doing several Critical Infrastructure Projects in India, particularly in the City Surveillance, Railways, Airports, Industrial and Metro Sectors. To name some of them, it includes Kolhapur, Mumbai, Gujarat CSITMS, Baroda Eye, Hyderabad City, Gujarat Jail-several locations, Bihar Jail-several locations, IOCL-several locations, BPCLseveral locations, NTPC--several locations, HPCL--several locations, 61 Airports in India, AAI HQ, 22 railways stations and several others. Mumbai City Surveillance is one of the most prestigious projects for Infinova and is a strong referral project under our case study portfolios. Infinova has ensured all of its product models have undergone proper testing and we have ensured these models have passed the required POC test. Our products has been reviewed over several hours and the images has been observed over all possible resolutions and lighting scenarios. We are glad our POC satisfactory results has met the expectations of all the stakeholder for the project. We have assured managing spares and quick turnaround time through dedicated technical support associated for Mumbai City Project.

Kolhapur City surveillance Project

Infinova was selected one of the major partners for providing these High Resolution IP Cameras. About 165 cameras in total were implemented out of which 116 Infinova High Definition Fixed Cameras and 17 High Definition PTZ cameras were being deployed. We were extensively involved in supporting the system integrator for implementation of this project which included timely delivery, providing robust and state-of –the-art products, excellent technical support and integration with Third Party Video Management Software. The cameras have been tracking accidents, theft cases, etc. in various parts of the city. In the month of May 2016, the CCTV footage played a key role in atleast four accident cases, while at Central Bus Stand, the footage provided police clues about two thieves who had stolen a bag and some jewellery from a car using a duplicate key.

With government’s increased focus on 100 smart cities project, we see video surveillance gradually infiltering in most public places and cities and rising demand for safe city implementations; making government along with enterprise and infrastructure few of our biggest focus areas. Moreover, with surveillance going beyond monitoring (heat mapping, smart analytics, thermal imagery, selective motion detection and identification, among various others), we see it opening entirely new avenues in future across verticals. There are also various challenges that we face, one of them being the lack of awareness of the benefits of an IP-based security system. Most of the SMBs have an issue trusting their vendors because they feel that because cloud technologies are used and hence the data will be accessible to all, which can be threat according to them. Secondly, they believe that because analog devices are cheaper compared to IP-based security system they

are more cost effective, which is completely misconstrued as IP-based security are more cost effective as they are a one-time investment.

Some of the latest trends are • IoT: From cool features to useful solutions: As security solutions move beyond their roots in cameras, the entire gamut of network cameras will expand. For example: network cameras can be used for Building Information Management (BIM), Business Intelligence (BI) in retail and even leaping into scientific research with real-time analysis of traffic patterns and crowd movements. The IoT will allow for combined systems integrating previously disparate devices such as video surveillance cameras, smoke detectors, gas sensors, access control panels and loudspeakers into a common management console providing a ‘single pane of glass’ overview across entire buildings and sites. • More cameras mean Big Data According to market researchers, video is now the fastest growing type of data in the world, and video generated by security and surveillance systems is no small reason. While this vast amount of video data is largely being used for security purposes, it is increasingly valuable as a source of business intelligence. However, there still remains a significant challenge to effectively manage and use the endless amounts of video data being generated, so-called big data. Hence, we expect to see more investment in tools and other resources that can effectively mine and derive actionable intelligence from the big data that security systems are producing. • Cutting the cords We expect to see more use of wireless technology in security and video surveillance, particularly as an enhancement to business optimization and improvement of the customer experience. • The never ending quest for more detail Security operators have an insatiable appetite for more clarity and detail in the images produced by their video surveillance systems. So continued improvement in megapixel technology is certainly in our future. • Analytics provides the brain for smarter systems If IoT devices are the eyes and ears for increasingly interconnected systems, then analytics technology is the brain. We expect to see continued growing adoption of sophisticated video and audio analytics in the coming year, helping security systems evolve from passive monitoring to intelligent and adaptive recognition, situational awareness and analysis systems.

Growth Rate

In India Video surveillance is garnering prominence and it’s much deserved importance due to the increasing safety issues faced by the country. As per a recent study by Research and Markets, as more and more governmental and non-governmental organizations are implementing Surveillance products and solutions, reflected an annual growth rate of more than 20 percent.

outlook - 2016

The outlook for Indian security market seems to be mixed. In the real estate, commercial and retail market there is a slow down, whereas the NBFC, BFSI and residential market are showing steady growth. Overall we expect the markets to grow between 10-15 percent.

Challenges and Opportunities

The challenges today are economy slowing down plus the liquidity crunch in the market is hampering the growth of our business on the opportunity side. In the recent union budget the government has announced nil custom duty for CCTV hardware under SKD or CKD import. This will pave the role ahead for make in India. The IoT business seems very promising across all segments in the market place. The falling prices of hardware has made product very affordable.

latest trends

The latest trend in the India Security Market is the IoT model, the Saas model and technology from analog to HD. Also with the evolution of 4G network video streaming has become affordable and almost real time.

mergers and acquisitions

Mergers and acquisition are the norms in any business. Consolidation of companies by MNCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s will help

to eliminate the unorganized market and help consumer to get better choice and offer customer it terms of quality price and service.

Start-up

I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think anything much is happening on this front. Startups are yet to nurture and create a dent in the market.

Venture Capital

Venture capitalists are still not investing in the security sector since the market continues to be small. The Return on Capital Employed (ROCE) and Return On Investment (ROI) are still not attractive enough for the venture capitalists. In the past they have shied away from investing in Security Sector because of low ROCE and ROI. However with the market showing robust growth and with mass adoption of security many private equity firms are now getting interested into investing in the sector. Once the private equity money flow starts our industry will witness boom similar to the boom seen in the e-commerce business.

GROWTH RATE

The Indian Security Market is growing at the rate of 10-15 percent and we expect this trend to continue for the next 3-5 years.

REFORMS

The reforms like standardization of hardware, certification of system integration, and legislation and enforcement of security policies are need of the hour.

Building Proven Expertise Milestone’s evolution from building knowledge to enabling on-the-job performance

By Greg Willmarth, Director Learning&Performance, Milestone Systems

Greg Willmarth,

Director, Learning & Performance, Milestone Systems

n early 2016, Milestone began rolling out a completely new training and certification program with the goal of increasing the level of expertise in designing and implementing solutions using our products. This article discusses the strategic thinking behind this entirely new program and looks at how the fundamental restructuring will drive improved business performance for our channel.

Background for Change

NOVEMBER 2016

www.asindia.in

Prior to this year, Milestone’s training and certification program was a reflection of the early days in IP video’s adoption in the security industry. Taught by a third-party provider, our old Advanced certification class covered a broad array of content including IT fundamentals, solution design basics, installation, configuration, and even a brief history of the company. The certification could be earned only by attending the class. This met our needs at the time as the industry was just beginning to adopt our new technology. But things have certainly changed.

The industry continues to grow at a fantastic rate and we have moved past the early adopters into the much larger majority. As more integrators enter the IP video market, often with limited IT experience, we see a growing need to better ensure that they have the skills required to successfully perform in the field. After all, a Milestone certification is in essence a promise we are making to our customers that the certified individual from our partner community has a level of proven expertise. It was time to up our game and better deliver on that promise.

Learning & Performance

In the summer of 2014, Milestone completed the acquisition of our thirdparty training partner and changed the program name from the Milestone Knowledge Program to Learning & Performance. The new name is a more accurate indication of our focus on enabling partner performance, as reflected in our new team mission and vision: • Mission: Empower the people in the Milestone community to perform onthe-job by delivering effective learning and performance support solutions • Vision: Grow the number of people globally with proven expertise in the design and implementation of Milestone community solutions To execute on this mission and vision, the Learning & Performance team began creating new training from the ground up in three different areas: eLearning modules, instructor-led workshops, and certification assessments.

eLearning

In order to jump-start channel expertise with our products, especially our Business-ready solutions, we began developing eLearning. The goal of these short, self-paced modules is to give learners a basic level of knowledge and skill in installing, configuring, or using our products. Designed to support job performance, each module focuses on the key tasks and steps that need to be completed. As opposed to passive training videos, these interactive eLearning modules make it easy to navigate to the exact job task desired and get hands-on practice completing the steps through interactive simulations. Available for free and with 24/7 accessibility, these modules are a great way to get started installing, configuring, and using the Milestone Husky network video recorders, XProtect Professional software, and XProtect Smart Client. In addition, starting with the release of our XProtect 2016 product, eLearning will also be used going forward to teach how to use each new feature introduced.

Instructor-led workshops

Our key objective in redesigning the instructor-led classes was to make them much better at preparing learners to perform on the job. As a first step and in order to clearly understand what knowledge and skill are truly needed, we performed a detailed job competency analysis. We identified exactly which competencies are required to successfully design, install, and configure surveillance solutions

from moderate to high complexity. We then looked at who performed these different tasks in the field and quickly realized that the people responsible for designing the solution were often different from the ones who installed and configured it on site. It became apparent that we needed separate classes for design and technical installation to serve the various needs of these different audiences. Finally, we wanted to make the classes even more hands on. We created learning experiences that are more learningwhile-doing practice workshops than traditional presentation-of-information classes. In the technical workshops, learners practice going through the tasks and steps required to perform an actual install based on realistic customer scenarios and specifications. In order to help bridge the learning from the classroom to the field, learners follow detailed job aids that walk them through each step of the installation. After the workshop, learners can use the job aids in the field during live installations.

Certification assessments

In order to better live up to the promise of proven expertise that our certifications represent to customers, we engaged an outside expert to help us redesign our certification strategy. Our goal was to make our certification assessments similar to those in the IT industry and better measures of the ability to perform on the job. The first step was to separate our certification assessments completely from our training classes. After all, training and certification are two different things. Training is where knowledge and skills are developed. Certifications are proof that an individual has the required levels of knowledge and skill. So we eliminated the certification requirement of attending training, stopped administering the certification assessment as part of our workshops, and moved our certification assessments online.

At the same time, we greatly improved the quality of the assessments. We expanded the number of questions, added simulation and scenario question types, and implemented question randomization and the use of question pools. As a result, our new certification assessments are not easy to pass. Many people need to take the assessments several times before passing, even after taking one of our workshops. Other people, who have yet to gain the needed expertise, simply do not pass and that is appropriate. Finally, we made a fundamental shift in our perspective on training classes as a preparation for taking a certification assessment. Our classes are an excellent opportunity to develop knowledge and skills through practice, with access to an expert for guidance. But they are not a guarantee that someone will learn enough to perform on the job or pass the certification assessments. Each learner must take personal responsibility for their own learning.

Global perspective

multiple languages, Milestone is now offering more learning materials in local languages than ever before. Our new Partner Learning Portal and our eLearning modules are all localized into five core languages: English, French, German, Italian and Spanish. Our workshop job aids and certification assessments support an expanded group of languages including Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Dutch, Turkish, and Russian.

Future perspective

Looking forward, Milestone will continue to invest in increasing the level of expertise in our channel. Our Learning & Performance team will continue to release new eLearning modules, refine and improve our certification assessments, and look for ways to better support the on-the-job performance of the Open Platform Community. Milestoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s long-term commitment to building proven expertise in our channel can perhaps best be evidenced in a quote from our CEO, Lars Thinggaard, in his book, Business Magnetism. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Training and certification will remain central to our business for the foreseeable future.â&#x20AC;?

To better serve our channel globally, we have expanded our localization efforts. While we have long taught classes in

How To Upgrade Student IDs For Better Security, More Efficient Issuance, and to Support New Services The “one card” systems improve security, and with the addition of some wireless locks, they also enable real-time control when a lock-down or other changes to the system are needed.

By Weijin Lee, Regional Director, Secure Issuance, APAC, HID Global

niversity administrators must increasingly do more with less, supporting growing enrollment, facility expansion and new services, however many facilities are still using obsolete, vulnerable campus ID card systems that have a restricted range of functions. The best approach to making a campus safe and secure is to gradually replace legacy technology with a “one card” solution that improves end-to-end issuance and has the ability to support new, more secure services and capabilities in the future.

NOVEMBER 2016

www.asindia.in

Legacy magnetic stripe technology has been used by universities for several decades and relies on older security technology that lacks the cryptographic capabilities of smart cards, making magstripe cards susceptible to cloning and counterfeiting. Additionally, these cards wear out quickly and cost the university time and money to replace. The latest smart card technologies offer better security and in today’s budgetconstrained university environments, they can be rolled out incrementally as funds become available, operating alongside legacy cards until the transition is complete.

Feedback from university administrators has identified security, as well as flexibility as the biggest reasons to replace magstripe technology with a one card solution. Campus stakeholders want a single ID card that can be used for meal payments, the library, using the gym, and accessing parking and other facilities. This concept of “one card” simplicity would enable a single system to serve many different needs. Users would only need to carry one card for a wide variety of services, purchases and other campus activities.

Moving to Contactless Smart Card Technology

Contactless smart card technology provides the foundation for this “one card” simplicity. While proving to be very attractive to today’s technologysavvy generation of students, it also offers administrators improved security, efficiency and the convenience of a more flexible solution. A one card solution enables a single campus ID to be used for access control systems and other value-added applications and services, such as protecting and providing approved access to computing, data and cloud services for students and faculty members. To make the upgrade, universities must evaluate the time, cost and logistics associated with replacing existing card infrastructure and then rebadging tens of thousands of campus card holders. A comprehensive, end-to-end ID solution and multiyear, phased process is required for upgrading an existing card system. This enables incremental deployment of new contactless smart cards while still using legacy student ID cards and

the existing campus hardware. This will help mitigate the financial burden of deploying an entire solution in any one year or financial reporting period, allowing administrators to strategically assign system and hardware upgrades to areas most in need, or to align with current or projected expansion plans. Key features of the one card solution include multi-technology readers, card technology, and a combination of ID card printers and encoders with card personalisation software. In some universities or areas on campus that may require higher levels of security, it may be important for card readers to not only support both the new contactless smart cards and legacy magnetic stripe cards, but also wireless locks with built-in encryption and enhanced security. Wireless locks eliminate the cost and management headaches of metal keys as they interact with an advanced IP-based physical access control solution that moves intelligence to the door for streamlined system monitoring, management and reporting. Card technology itself is also a key component of any migration plan, delivering advanced security and interoperability between locks, readers, and multiple card applications such as cashless vending and logical access control. It should be flexible enough for physical access control (i.e. opening doors) as well as logical access control (i.e. used with desktop readers to pay for cafeteria meals, or checking out library materials). Ease-of-use is also a major factor in choosing a contactless card, with the IT manager at one university reporting that

their users prefer contactless smart cards because they can quickly be tapped to readers, instead of having to swipe a magstripe card. The third element of an advanced one card solution is the ID card printers and encoders, and associated card personalisation software. At registration time, a big time-saver for universities is the use of in-line personalisation technology. This enables office staff to print student information to the card at the same time they are encoding and programming both the magnetic stripe and contactless smart card technology, all in a single, in-line issuance process. This approach significantly reduces total issuance time, and eliminates mistakes that are often made when data is entered manually. Plus, the new ID cards are printed with higher quality and better lamination, so they look more attractive, are more durable than other cards, and have a longer lifespan.

Advantages of “One Card” Systems

Today’s “one card” systems improve security, and with the addition of some wireless locks, they also enable realtime control when a lock-down or other changes to the system are needed. Such a solution makes it easy for administrators to quickly modify their access control system, responding to security threats, reacting to hazards in a particular area, or denying access to a building that may be undergoing repairs or construction work. This includes updating card privileges, adding or removing applications as required, and dealing with stolen cards by revoking and replacing them. Overall, they offer campus users significantly more ways to use the cards with security and privacy protection. As an example, one university is using their new ID cards to control access to facilities, the library, residence halls, and for purchases at the campus cafeteria. Meanwhile, they continue to use their earlier magstripe ID cards, and will continue to do so until they have phased them out. Throughout this

process, the security team plans to add new applications to the contactless smart cards, including cashless transit system payment, logging time and attendance at the gym, and accessing cloud applications using One-Time Password (OTP) soft tokens. The card office also benefits. According to one university official, a key goal during card issuance is to move students through as quickly as possible especially during the start of a new academic year. Today’s systems streamline the process significantly. After searching for the person on their database, card office staff can verify his or her identity, and print and present a card that can be used immediately. A combination of printers and software enable a true one-stop shop on campus, resulting in reduced wait times. The end result produces more durable and better-looking cards than are possible with magstripe technology, as well as greater security. Another advantage is better sustainability. For instance, new lamination technology incorporated into today’s ID card printers significantly reduces both the cost of consumables and the amount of waste product that is generated. Instead of using an underlying carrier that must be discarded, the printer applies each card’s lamination patch in a more

efficient, continuous stream of material, from a single roll. Other card lamination advancements have reduced the significant energy required to heat up the material and maintain optimal operating temperature. For instance, “instant on” or intelligent temperature control enables new ID lamination solutions to conserve significant amounts of energy, while also saving time. The energy savings that are delivered through these advances have been recognized with GreenCircle® certification by GreenCircle Certified, LLC, which was established to ensure specificity in third-party certification.

Looking to the Future

Universities can position themselves to take advantage of new ID form factors, such as mobile phones, by taking a forward-looking approach to their incremental one card upgrade using a multi-technology infrastructure. In the future, applications that can be supported with contactless smart cards can also be supported on a mobile device. The same one card system that enables the transition from magstripe to contactless smart card technology will enable administrators to provision mobile IDs and update access privileges in real-time, using wireless connectivity. Students and faculty members alike can look forward to even better convenience and efficiency in coming years as universities adopt the new technology.

McAfee Labs Report Reveals New Mobile App Collusion Threats Delayed Software Updates Enable Cybercriminals to Exploit Mobile Apps; Pinkslipbot Trojan Returns with New Capabilities submitted by McAfee labs

• McAfee Labs identifies more than 5,000 versions of 21 consumer mobile apps containing colluding code capable of a variety of malicious activities • New strain of Pinkslipbot Trojan features anti-analysis and multi-layered encryption • New ransomware grew 24% quarter-over-quarter in Q1 2016 • Threat researchers saw a 17% quarter-over-quarter increase in new mobile malware samples in Q1 2016 • Mac malware spiked Q1 primarily due to an increase in VSearch adware Intel Security released its McAfee Labs Threats Report: June 2016, which explains the dynamics of mobile app collusion, where cybercriminals manipulate two or more apps to orchestrate attacks on smartphone owners. McAfee Labs has observed such behavior across more than 5,056 versions of 21 apps designed to provide useful user services such as mobile video streaming, health monitoring, and travel planning. Unfortunately, the failure of users to regularly implement essential software updates to these 21 mobile apps raises the possibility that older versions could be commandeered for malicious activity. NOVEMBER 2016

Widely considered a theoretical threat for many years, colluding mobile apps carry out harmful activity together by leveraging interapp communication capabilities common to mobile operating systems. These operating systems incorporate many techniques to isolate apps in sandboxes, restrict their capabilities, and control

which permissions they have at a fairly granular level. Unfortunately, mobile platforms also include fully documented ways for apps to communicate with each other across sandbox boundaries. Working together, colluding apps can leverage these interapp communication capabilities for malicious purposes. McAfee Labs has identified three types of threats that can result from mobile app collusion:

Information theft: An app with access to sensitive or confidential information willingly or unwillingly collaborates with one or more other apps to send information outside the boundaries of the device Financial theft: An app sends information to another app that can execute financial transactions or make financial API calls to achieve similar objectives

Service misuse: One app

controls a system service and receives information or commands from one or more other apps to orchestrate a variety of malicious activities. Mobile app collusion requires at least one app with permission to access the restricted information or service, one app without that permission but with access outside the device, and the capability to communicate with each other. Either app could be collaborating on purpose or unintentionally due to accidental data leakage or inclusion of a malicious library or software development kit. Such apps may use a shared space (files readable by all) to

exchange information about granted privileges and to determine which one is optimally positioned to serve as an entry point for remote commands. “Improved detection drives greater efforts at deception,” said Vincent Weafer, vice president of Intel Security’s McAfee Labs group. “It should not come as a surprise that adversaries have responded to mobile security efforts with new threats that attempt to hide in plain sight. Our goal is to make it increasingly harder for malicious apps to gain a foothold on our personal devices, developing smarter tools and techniques to detect colluding mobile apps.” The McAfee Labs report discusses forward-looking research to create tools, initially used by threat researchers manually but eventually to be automated, to detect colluding mobile apps. Once identified, colluding apps may be blocked using mobile security technology. The report suggests a variety of user approaches to minimize mobile app collusion, including downloading mobile apps only from trusted sources, avoiding apps with embedded advertising, not “jailbreaking” mobile devices, and most importantly, always keeping operating system and app software up-to-date.

Mega Attacks Hits New Record; Repeat Attacks Surge; Booter Sites Launching Multiple Attack Vectors Simultaneously Latest Cloud Security Trends Shared in Akamai’s Q1 2016 State of the Internet Security Report Show Retail, Gaming Industries Hardest Hit with Web Application and DDoS attacks submitted by AKAMAI TECHNOLOGIES

kamai Technologies, the global leader in content delivery network (CDN) services, has published the Q1 2016 State of the Internet – Security Report. The quarterly report provides a detailed view of the global cloud security threat landscape and in-depth analysis and insight into malicious activity observed across the Akamai Intelligent Platform. Download the latest State of the Internet – Security Report at stateoftheinternet. com/security-report. NOVEMBER 2016

www.asindia.in

“We have continued to witness significant growth in the number and frequency of DDoS and web application attacks launched against online assets, and Q1 2016 was no exception,” said Stuart Scholly, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Security Business Unit, Akamai. “Interestingly, nearly 60 percent of the DDoS attacks we mitigated used at least two attack

vectors at once, making defense more difficult. Perhaps more concerning, this multi-vector attacks functionality was not only used by the most clever of attackers, it has become a standard capability in the DDoS-for-hire marketplace and accessible to even the least skilled actors.”

DDoS attack activity at a glance

During Q1, Akamai mitigated more than 4,500 DDoS attacks, a 125 percent increase compared with Q1 2015. As in recent quarters, the vast majority of these attacks were based on reflection attacks using stresser/booter-based tools. These tools bounce traffic off servers running vulnerable services such as DNS, CHARGEN, and NTP. In fact, 70 percent of the DDoS attacks in Q1 used the reflection-based DNS, CHARGEN, NTP, or UDP fragment vectors.

More than half of the attacks (55 percent) targeted gaming companies, with another 25 percent targeting the software and technology industry. Q1 2016 also set a record for the number of DDoS attacks exceeding 100 Gigabits per second (Gbps): 19. The largest of these mega attacks mitigated by Akamai peaked at 289 Gbps. 14 attacks relied on DNS reflection methods. Last quarter, there were only five mega attacks; the previous record was 17, set in Q3 2014. During Q4 2015, repeat DDoS attacks became the norm, with an average of 24 attacks per targeted customer in Q4. The trend continued this quarter; targeted customers were attacked an average of 39 times each. One customer was targeted 283 times – an average of three attacks per day.

DDoS metrics Compared with Q1 2015

• 125.36 percent increase in total DDoS attacks • 142.14 percent increase in infrastructure layer (layers 3 & 4) attacks • 34.98 percent decrease in the average attack duration: 16.14 vs. 24.82 hours • 137.5 percent increase in attacks > 100 Gbps: 19 vs. eight

he This short discourse is given for the purpose of concise guidance for the Logistics and Transport Sector and can be expanded from this simple view to cover a lot of ground either in India or abroad. To do this, let us look at the various modes that make up the transport sector and the means of protecting each one in a generalized manner.

• Aviation includes aircraft, air traffic control systems, landing areas, passenger and cargo terminals, maintenance hangars, flight training facilities and fueling. • Vehicular covers cars, trucks, buses, roads, bridges, vehicles, traffic control systems public CCTV based security, vehicle recognition systems, drivers and automated systems/ • Waterways and Oceangoing Vessels consists of ports, rivers, ships, boats, support systems and maintenance • Cargo and Passenger Rail includes terminals, operational systems, and supporting infrastructure for passenger services by metro or rail • Pipeline Systems transport hazardous waste, fuel & oils, water and gas. The transport and distribution systems would include pipelines, pumping stations, bottling plants and gas stations. The main consideration will be of course the people who are manning each

system that monitors or is controlled either directly, indirectly or remotely. In each case, the personnel should be properly vetted to handle sensitive areas by consideration of their intelligence, loyalty or by just physical characteristics (strength, size and agility) We should keep in mind that the target could be the people /goods/technology or the means of transportation may be exploited for the purpose of terrorism, smuggling, kidnapping or simply we should consider personal safety as well. Safe practices or the enforcement of same can only be done by effective monitoring and screening of situations, movements and persons. Systems available to protect these facilities include but are not limited to: • Radio: Effective monitoring and control in each case given above. Some examples are - Walkie talkies, - Terrestial Trunked Radio (TETRA) systems - Emergency notifiers - Man down systems - Radio Location systems • X-Ray Systems: Either mobile, portable or fixed systems are used in this case. - The mobile systems include baggage scanners used to check luggage or cargo, - Portable systems are used to check suspect items left unattended - Fixed systems are the type that can be used to screen railcars, trucks or vehicles. • CCTV with recognition software: used to track vehicles and persons by manual checking as well as using special facial and vehicular recognition software. • Access Entry System: installed to protect computer access, entry to sensitive areas or buildings. These systems use Facial Recognition, Biometrics, Near Field Communications, Simplified PIN&Chip Cards as well as

Alpha Numeric Entry. • Geotracking: these entail goods, personnel and vessel tracking using the present system of GPS trackers. With these systems, rails, aircraft, ships vehicles and persons can be tracked for the purpose of monitoring them for - Overspeeding or lagging - Diversions or hijacking - Targeting in case they are used as human or vehicular bombs - Tracking if they are used for smuggling or freight theft. - Crashes. The geotracker can be used to pin point the either the last known location or the point of the crash. • Screening Solutions using DFMD, HHMD: these are mostly effective when used at the entry terminals when screening people or animals • BDDS: Contraband Detectors, Real Time Viewing Systems (RTVS), Non Linear Junction Detector (NLJD), Explosive Vapour Detector (EVD) are equipment used by the Bomb Detection and Disposal Squads. In the cases where suspect vehicles, packages or areas are checked for explosives and narcotics, these equipment help in confirming or negating the presence of contraband. • Man down or emergency systems: In a situation where something unforseen in t he form of man made or natural disaster strikes, these systems alert monitoring systems to pinpoint or establish contact with emergency squads to provide a response. • Bugging / surveillance systems: These are audio/visual surveillance devices places in the cargo holds or passenger compartments of aircraft, railcars, buses or ships to monitor the safety / integrity of those areas from incidents of thefts or other criminal activities. While these in no way makes a comprehensive cover for the security of the logistics / transport sector, it at least lays a path to follow and diversify.

Allied Telesis Leading the Way in Intelligent Buildings and Smart Cities : Jakub Duch BY Anant Joshi, a&s India

For nearly 30 years, Allied Telesis has been delivering reliable, intelligent connectivity for everything from enterprise organizations to complex, critical infrastructure projects around the globe. In a world moving toward Smart Cities and the Internet of Things, networks must evolve rapidly to meet new challenges. Allied Telesis smart technologies, such as Allied Telesis Management Framework (AMF) and Enterprise SDN, ensure that network evolution can keep pace, and deliver efficient and secure solutions for people, organizations, and â&#x20AC;&#x153;thingsâ&#x20AC;?â&#x20AC;&#x201D;both now and into the future. Allied Telesis is universally recognized for innovating the way in which services and applications are delivered and managed, resulting in increased value and lower operating costs. a&s India discussed with Jakub Duch, Vice President, International Sales, Allied Telesis for an insight into the success Allied Telesis is having.

NOVEMBER 2016

Q What is the Allied Telesis vision and perspective on India?

www.asindia.in

A For many years Allied Telesis has been delivering networking solutions to support a broad range of embedded applications such as CCTV, Access Control, Transport Management Systems, Building and Energy Management Systems and Unlike enterprise environments, reliability and performance of the network for these applications is critical as the consequences of poor performance and availability can be significant. In the past, these systems have generally been

deployed as stand-alone or independent systems which, while meeting the immediate needs of the system, do not deliver broader benefits in terms of efficiency and intelligence. Increasingly, a single converged network is being deployed throughout a building or across a city to support all applications which gives rise to the concept of Intelligent Buildings and Smart Cities and is ultimately what the concept of the Internet of Things (IoT) is based upon. Utilizing a converged network ensures that all systems and applications can interface with each other and adding a layer of intelligence to manage performance and efficiency then becomes a trivial process. And with new technologies such as intelligent lighting, there are substantial improvements in performance and efficiency that can be made. Intelligent lighting not only provides the ability to reduce energy consumption, but the sensors within the lights can provide information about ambient light levels, motion and space utilization, temperature and much more. And with information such as motion and space utilization, it is possible for organizations to make changes to their business which can result in substantial savings over time. Retrofitting existing buildings to become Intelligent Buildings or adding infrastructure to existing cities to become a Smart City is expensive and often the business case for doing so is marginal. India is in a great position to lead the way in terms of both Intelligent Buildings and Smart Cities given the growth and development that is being experienced at the moment. India also has a wealth of people and organizations that are technology savvy and is well placed to innovate and develop the technologies that will be found in Intelligent Buildings and Smart Cities of the future.

Q What are the challenges today in Smart City deployments and how can Allied Telesis help in creating a smarter world? A Allied Telesis has many years of experience with the types of applications and services that are found within Smart City deployments today. This experience has seen us develop an eco-system of partners and build up a wealth of knowledge that is unmatched in our industry. Combined with this ecosystem of partners and understanding of what it takes to develop a Smart City, is the extensive technology portfolio and professional services resources of Allied Telesis. As part of our commitment to Smart Cities, Allied Telesis

has become a Lead Partner in the Smart Cities Council (SCC) - an organization of thought leaders that advises cities on ways to thrive as their populations grow, upgrading aging infrastructure with innovative technology and solutions that improve performance, efficiency and ultimately livability of cities around the world. As a result of our involvement in the Smart Cities movement, Allied Telesis has recently signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Government of Vietnam that will see Allied Telesis as a leading technology provider in the development of Smart Cities throughout Vietnam. From the Indian perspective, Prime minister Mr Narendra Modi has a strong strategy for building Smart Cities. His vision of ‘Digital India’ has set an ambitious plan to build 100 Smart Cities across the country. While this vision of ‘Digital India’ is bold and ambitious, India is well placed to execute this. Around the world, the development of Smart Cities often starts with public safety enhancements, transportation efficiency and traffic control along with smart grid solutions and smart meters. In India the priorities are different with telecom companies needing to enhance their infrastructure before these smart solutions can be rolled out. Some of the significant challenges in any Smart city deployment is around the interoperability and security of the complete infrastructure with many proprietary based technology / application adoptions. Allied Telesis commitment towards developing innovative technologies on open standard’s for simplified operations & maintenance with low Mean Time To Restore (MTTR) through Allied Telesis management framework (AMF), enhanced cyber security through technologies like Active Fiber monitoring (AFM) brings in significant value proposition towards a building scalable and robust ICT infrastructure

Q The Internet of things is going to be the next technology buzz, what is your (Allied Telesis) plan for India market? A The Internet of Things or IoT is about the convergence of applications to deliver performance improvements and information to make intelligent decisions. In reality, Allied Telesis has been involved in the IoT space before the term IoT was even coined. The market potential for IoT is staggering with an estimated 50 billion devices expected to be connected world-wide by 2020. And as the number of devices being connected is growing,

The logistics solution offered by AxesTrack is comprehensive with ERP and RFID integration, ensuring fast and efficient flow of information. The solution provides different dashboards and tools to suit the functional needs of different stake-holders across the organisation hierarchy.

Q What is the AxesTrack’s strategy for channel marketing in India? A India’s logistics market is highly un-organised with a traditional way of managing operations. It is dominated by local, small and medium players, with over 80% of the total fleet owners having less than 3 vehicles in the fleet. We at AxesTrack believe that an indirect network of trusted Partners is the best way to penetrate the market. With over 300 dedicated channel partners spread across 250 plus Indian cities, AxesTrack caters to a wide variety of clients indirectly through its partners. Realising the importance of local support, all partner products are complete end to end white labelled solutions, from best performing hardware to state of the art software to best in class IT support. We have an array of solutions for the partners, giving them the freedom to target a wide variety of customer types as well as new and emerging markets.

Eg: Emergency Service, Courier Service, Cold Chain Transportation, Waste Management Service, Mining Service

ways of working are still the norm. The increasing penetration of technology into industryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s day-to-day operations poses an adoption challenge for service providers, but the challenge is far outweighed by the magnitude of the opportunity. The current flow of operations in a logistics set up is highly traditional, with each player having its own way of doing things. This makes a standard solution difficult to suit all the clients. AxesTrack solves this by having a very flexible architecture that can be scaled in different dimensions to suit a multitude of requirements. The concentrated push from governmental policies to increase technology compliance across commercial vehicles provides a unique window in which the adoption rates are expected to accelerate. We at AxesTrack have developed a basic set of modules which are customizable, making smooth entry of technology in the traditional flow of operations a possibility. An increasing number of industries realise the huge value which Big Data and analytics can add to their organisations. Our AxesTrack team, being an expert in this domain, is best placed to seize this opportunity through its unique analytics driven solutions.

Q How are the new government policies bolstering growth for the security industry? A India has a huge population. This makes the discussion on security an important part of public debate. Apart from digitalisation and increased

Q How big is the GPS and Vehicle tracking solution market in India? A For us at AxesTrack, everything that moves is a potential customer! The total number of registered vehicles in India was 173 million as of March 31, 2013, increasing at a rate of 7 % per year. On top of this, the Smartphone market in India stands at 220 million presently, and scheduled to reach the 350 million mark by 2017. Logistics industry, which has the most acute need of sophisticated location and tracking solutions, contributes nearly 14 % to the GDP. 3PL logistics alone is expected to be worth greater than US$ 300billion by 2020. The Indian logistics sector is still unorganised and uses little technology to optimise its supply chain operations and is ripe for implementing tracking compliance. With the advent of e-players in this sector, and increasingly connected operations and information exchange across various units (IoT), there is a huge scope for location based analytics presently and even more so in the coming years.

Harman Arora, CEO & Co-founder, AxesTrack

Q What are the challenges and opportunities faced by AxesTrack? A We at AxesTrack believe in not limiting the challenges, but challenging the limits. Logistics in India is a highly distributed, un-organized and a technology deficient industry where traditional

surveillance along the borders, Indian government has put special focus on the internal security situation of the country. This includes mandating several security enhancing measures for the public, especially among the commercial vehicles. The national capital has already made it mandatory for all taxis to be GPS enabled. Several other states have also mandated GPS tracking on forms of public transport. This is soon expected to be followed by the central government. Un-arguably, the next focus will be on the goods and passenger transportation sector. A major part of black money travels through the Indian roads in commercial vehicles, which are expected to come under the mandatory-gps bracket soon. Further, a bill has been tabled in the Indian parliament which will make it mandatory for all mobile manufacturers to include an in-built GPS along with a panic button on the phone. All of this provides greater opportunities for companies in the security industry like location based analytics players, but it is the common man of the country who will benefit the most.

Q Any recent award won by AxesTrack? A AxesTrack was awarded title of ‘Company of the Year, 2016’ in the ‘GPS Fleet Management Solutions’ domain by The CEO Magazine. Q How AxesTrack is poised in the Security market? A We at AxesTrack realise the growing potential and the need for analytics in the security domain. With a big push from the government, a significant part of previously offline fleet will soon be under the GPS radar. By virtue of its position, as a leading player in the GPS service provider market, AxesTrack is well placed to reap in the benefits of this fast growing market. Apart from a comprehensive security module (which includes lock feature, SOS, panic button, along with email/SMS/pop-up alerts for a plethora of events), AxesTrack has customized solutions to suit security concerns of the client, like UP Police, Rajasthan Police, SIS (Security and Intelligence Services) to name a few. Any new integration for increased security features is easily possible with Axestrack’s flexible architecture.

NOVEMBER 2016

Q Which verticals are your focus areas? A We at AxesTrack are focusing on both indirect and direct sales, which cater to a plethora of verticals. With the increasing technology adoption across all industries, AxesTrack believes in grabbing every opportunity that comes in its way. This is possible with segment specific teams and continuous development of solutions for partners and direct clients. AxesTrack has also put focus on development of internal tools for swift resolution of partner’s IT support issues, and external tools for partners to help them manage their clientele more efficiently (eg support ticket platform, billing and inventory management tools etc.)

www.asindia.in

Q What are new initiatives undertaken by AxesTrack? A We at AxesTrack believe in leading the latest technological innovations in the logistics sector.With location based analytics picking up speed, AxesTrack has launched unique, simple

solutions to complex problems. School Bus Tracking: This is a first of the kind tracking product for pick & drop service providers like school buses and employee transport, which alerts the user in real time about the arrival of the bus at the pick-up and drop points. Accuracy is the key here, and with a development team that not many can boast of, this complex logical problem set has the easiest to operate user-interface available in the market. Track Me: As the speed of technology penetration increases, lots of previously unimagined industries are benefitting from location based analytics. This device-less solution (just a mobile app) lets an admin manage his employee force on the field with ease. Set meetings, schedules, check delivery/visited points, analyse performance, and send alerts all with this unique package which is Track Me. Consignment Tracking: With an ever increasing need for the optimization of operations, new modules are regularly added to the consignment package. Latest developments include senior management dashboard, sensor module, MIS module, expense management module, reverse logistics module Bike Tracking: With no recurring cost for this product, bike tracking offers simple tracking at a price that is truly, unbelievably low. This product aims to bring the biker population under the location based analytics net.

Q What are the future plans of AxesTrack? A We envision being the leading player across all verticals in the Location based analytics market. With a diverse and widespread channel sales network, and a wide variety of solutions AxesTrack’s growth strategy is geared to achieve its grand vision. We have put considerable effort in the development of partners as leading local service providers in their respective domains. With an unmatched IT support and sales team exclusively for the partners, AxesTrack is also developing external tools which will help partners scale their business, thereby contributing to AxesTrack’s growth. Additionally, we also aim to bring the entire supply chain network, starting from the producer and ending at the consumer, under a single umbrella drenched with technology. AxesTrack, with its expertise in data analytics, has touched this industrial problem from its root. It started with optimizing the transportation vertical, then slowly expanding to cover other inter-related logistics operations. Currently, to operate efficiently in this competitive world, a company has to use multiple solutions for the entire supply chain. From multiple ERP packages, to specific ware-house management software, integration becomes a challenge for any company. But now, with a single point of contact for a company’s entire IT and analytical needs, AxesTrack aim to deliver the best, to the best.

Company Spotlight - Naaz Engineering Works : The Reliable Name In Fire Protection

Naaz Engineering Works has extensive experience legacy of over 36 years in this field of Fire Protection. By NAAZ ENGINEERING WORKS

Shamim Haider Khan,

proprietor, Naaz Engineering Works

he company was formed in 1980 by a promising entrepreneur Shamim Haider Khan named. Shamim Haider Khan is the proprietor of Naaz Engineering Works having extensive experience legacy of over 36 years in this field. It was a small machine shop company for manufacturing of spare parts of fire extinguisher, hydrant valve spares and variety of nozzle related to fire fighting. Later on we started manufacturing of fire extinguisher portable types. Naaz brand is renowned for its quality of its product & reliability of services. In 2001 we acquired ISI mark for fire extinguisher for complete range of fire extinguisher named “NAAZ” brand registration in BIS. Since then till the company has witnessed methodical growth in fire industry. Naaz brand is renowned for its quality of its product & reliability of services. Naaz has earned 36 year quality of appreciation from by user and manufacturer. Our policy of continual investment in state of art technology & innovative products development allow us to offer our unique brand of high quality product at great value. Our company has acquired all the necessary infrastructure, licenses & established full fledged manufacturing plant at wada (Palghar District) spread across 1.3 acres with the capacity of producing more than 1000 units per day. Naaz engineering bares ISO 9001:2008 for quality management system by IRQS and CE marking. In product development we seek to be at the forefront of best practice, always anticipating changes within our industry.

To ensure that our dealers and customers get the highest quality fire protection equipments, all our products undergo rigorous in house testing at all stages and on demand third party inspection is also available. Naaz brand is managed by highly qualified management team and houses excellent engineering skills, quality control & project team with well equipped testing laboratory. Our excellence quality reputation is vital to us and is supported by many years of proven performance in serving our esteemed customers. We continue the strive to achieve the total quality in fire protection solution that are so special and valuable for our customer satisfaction. Present market fire market condition is not very encouraging and the world economy on the downhill side. If you see China for example it is also grappling to sustain its growth pattern. India is no different at the moment. There are so many challenges and we hope that with the corrective measures by present government India will have boom on economic front. As compared to any developed nation we have done very less and much has to be done. India has vast potential to offer to the fire market. Make in India is an initiative launched by PM of India to encourage national companies to manufacture in India which will lead to FDI and we will be advanced in technology as well. Naaz has set the ‘Bench Mark’ in providing and maintaining an unrivalled range of fire extinguisher. By working closely with our customers, we are able to provide the most efficient and cost effective fire extinguisher. We are a modern manufacturing company with old fashioned values. Our continual improvement keeps us abreast of new and innovative fire extinguishing products. We realize that there is no substitute for repeat and referral business. That is why 100% customer satisfaction is still our number one business asset. Using the wrong extinguisher on a fire can be very dangerous. And often, there isn’t enough time to decide which extinguisher to use. In such cases, the consequences often prove fatal. Fire is a deadly force. It kills thousands every

year. Strikes a home or office every twenty minutes. Causes lakhs worth of damage every day. Fires can start anywhere, and they grow incredibly fast. Even the smallest fire will turn deadly if it is left unchecked. And the longer it is left unchecked, the faster it will grow. During ignition, the fire is relatively small. But unless controlled swiftly, it will spread and grow, increasingly rapidly. This is the only stage at which a fire extinguisher can be safely used. Before entering into manufacturing plant all raw material purchase against test certificate undergo quality check before acceptance. Manufacturing process starts from deep drawing is a sheet metal forming process in which a sheet metal blank is radially drawn into a forming die by the hydraulic action of a punch using three stage hydraulic press. Later on scrap material is grooved and manufacturer identification is embossed on cylinders. Forwarding material to fabrication followed by CO2 MIG welding process for joining material precisely by mounting on mechanized jigs. Then every cylinder is particularly leakage tested by giving those a 35kg/cm2 pressure hydraulically. Then the process of phosphate coating is employed for the purpose of pretreatment prior to powder coating, increasing corrosion protection and improving better bonding for epoxy powder coating. Finally powder coating is typically applied ectrostatistically and is then cured under heat to allow it to flow and form a skin. It is usually used to create a hard finish that is tougher than conventional paint. Final assembly of all matting parts with respect to cylinder are added and rigorous inspection is done to individual cylinder before packing. The company has an in house quality control laboratory relatively to portable fire extinguisher testing with wide ranges of calibrated gauges and equipments that makes that product meet with the said quality standard. In addition to that company pack the products in best quality material keeping them safe during transit. With the support of efficient teammates, Naaz Engineering Works have built a good relation with customers hence retention business affirms is much strong.

he Bhangel Village comprises of about 5000 families with just one Community Health Center, which was insufficient to meet their healthcare needs. They needed to travel to get their diagnostic tests done from the District Hospital, which was a significantly distant from the village. Moreover, lack of proper lab facilities added to the rush at the hospital and the wait time increased significantly as well. Recognizing the plight of the people living in the district, Seth Parmanand Khemka Charitable Trust stepped in to analyze the problem and offer the required support. The Trust has set up a Pathology Lab at the Community Health Center of Bhangel in G.B Nagar, Uttar Pradesh. The lab was inaugurated on 24th October, 2016 at 4pm by N.P. Singh, District Magistrate, Noida; Dr. Subhash Chandra Gupta, CMO, Noida; and Hari Khemka, Managing Director, Aditya Infotech. As a part of the initiative, Seth Parmanand Khemka Charitable Trust donated a Blood Testing Machine and related necessities to run the lab.

National Geographic and United Technologies Launch “Urban Expeditions,” a Multimedia Series Exploring Sustainability in Global Cities

Every day, 180,000 people move to urban areas. Urbanization is creating an urgent need for sustainable actions and solutions. At this critical time, National Geographic and United Technologies Corp. are collaborating to raise awareness of sustainable urbanization through the Urban Expeditions initiative. BY UTC Fire & security

rban Expeditions will identify cutting-edge research and exploration projects that are leading the way in sustainable urbanization in three key areas: • Food • Buildings • Transportation From architecture to engineering and urban agriculture, the project will shine the light on key sustainability issues and introduce us to change agents from a variety of disciplines doing great work around the globe. “This historic migration of people to cities can be achieved sustainably if we think differently about buildings, food and transportation networks,” said John Mandyck, Chief Sustainability Officer, United Technologies. “Urban Expeditions will showcase the global opportunities for cities to advance more sustainably.”

Six Cities… Countless Inspiring Stories Compelling analysis of these challenges and possible solutions will be featured in a new National Geographic digital storytelling series that takes a deep dive into six global cities, beginning with Austin, Texas, in October 2016. Additionally, the initiative will convene four global stakeholder events, each featuring a cross-disciplinary group of experts and stakeholders, exploring the future of cities and global sustainable urbanization solutions. “National Geographic has a long history of investing in bold people working to better understand the world around us and to develop solutions to our most pressing challenges,” said Brooke Runnette, Chief Program and Impact Officer, National Geographic Society. “The issues around rapid urbanization are only getting more complex, and the Urban Expeditions project allows us to continue

to support and explore projects that will be instrumental to solving them.” National Geographic has devoted considerable coverage to the impact of population growth. In 2011, a series called Seven Billion served as an inventory of our times across issues such as demographics, food security, climate change, fertility trends and biodiversity as the world’s population reached seven billion. In 2014, a collection of articles, Feeding Nine Billion, examined how we can provide food for all as the global population expands and climate change impacts agriculture. Urban Expeditions is the next installment.

The latest additions also offer versions that include an enhanced processor for higher analytics capacity, as well as higher light sensitivity. The new AXIS Q60 PTZ Dome Network Cameras all include Axisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Zipstream technology that significantly reduces bandwidth and storage requirements. Submitted by AXIS

NOVEMBER 2016

xis Communications, the market leader in network video, introduces six new models to its AXIS Q60 PTZ Dome Network Camera Series, bringing a new range of performance and efficiency features for demanding video surveillance applications. The cameras, which provide exceptional coverage of wide areas, high detail when zooming in, and outstanding light sensitivity and dynamics, are ideal for city surveillance, airports, train stations, harbors, warehouses and indoor or outdoor arenas and stadiums. The focus recall feature, available in AXIS Q6052/-E and AXIS Q6054/-E, provides instant focus in predefined areas, making it easier to use a PTZ camera optimally in challenging light conditions. With focus recall, there is no need to manually focus or wait for the autofocus to adjust, a step that can take several seconds. Focus recall is especially beneficial in scenes with low contrast and point-shaped light sources, for example, strong headlights from oncoming traffic. It is also useful in scenarios that require a lot of manual operation using a joystick. The new cameras are the first cameras in AXIS Q60 Series to offer Zipstream, a H.264 compatible compression technology that reduces bandwidth and storage requirements by up to 50% even during camera movements. Zipstream provides

control over bandwidth peaks, allows users to preserve more forensic detail where needed and lowers installation and maintenance costs significantly. AXIS Q6055/-E comes with several built-in Axis video analytic applications for greater efficiency or added business value, enabling time and cost reduction for the customer. Detection of security incidents through automatic monitoring of the video feed makes it possible to prevent crime, and integration of video data into other systems contributes to business insights. In addition, the cameras also have substantial capacity for thirdparty applications from Axis partners. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With these new PTZ cameras, we have raised the bar again in terms of performance and efficiency. The new features are ideally suited for the most demanding surveillance applications, both in regards to the required image quality as well as the camerasâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; operating conditions.
