4K Trend Pushing H.265 Closer to Launch H.265, which produces videos of the same quality as H.264 yet taking up only half the bandwidth, is poised to replace its predecessor as the mainstream video coding standard. Full-fledged deployment in the surveillance industry is inevitable, even though major challenges, such as complexity of coding and an imbalance between cost and functionality, still need to overcome.

EDITOR'S NOTE The Professional Magazine Providing Fire, Safety & Security Solutions

www.asindia.in

Union Budget Raises Expectations The government has shown that it believes in the dividends of the market –based economy are far greater than that of the previous socialist model. This means the market economy will be accorded a more dominant role in the future. The good news is that the budget has a new blueprint for a digital India. The government has allocated Rs. 7,060 crore to develop 100 smart cities. From providing sops and promising money to develop smart cities, encourage local manufacturing of electronic goods and increasing broadband penetration, the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) government‘s budget proposals charted a sound road map for digital India. The new spirit and resolve is shown by the budget. The budget proposes to raise the foreign direct investment limit in defence sector manufacturing from 26% to 49%. All these proposals have raised the expectations of Security Industry. The India’s security market is slowly warming up to the growth story that is unfurling with a spirited union budget. a&s India discussed the Union Budget with Security Industry peers to provide the latest feedback and insightful views. We are presenting budget reactions on India’s Union Budget under the Budget Reaction segment. The recent ire incident in Mumbai’s Lotus Business Park building on July 18 exposed the reality about ire safety compliance and preparedness of Mumbai Fire Brigade. It claimed the life of a ireman and left 21 ireighters injured. It is time that some serious initiatives to be taken to implement ire safety compliance on priority basis.

CORPORATE NEWS Hikvision Megapixel Cameras Secure 2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil

CP Plus Introduces i-Wizard, An Intelligent Video Surveillance Solution

WD Showcases its Surveillance-Class Hard Drives At Secutech India

Hikvision, the global leader of video surveillance products and technologies, has been selected to provide comprehensive security solutions to safeguard 2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil -- the biggest event on the planet. The security projects include Brazil’s BRT MOVE bus stations and Mineirao stadium in Belo Horizonte, a host city for the World Cup. Hundreds of Hikvision megapixel network cameras and speed domes have been successfully applied to ensure a safer environment for local citizens and visiting tourists.

CP PLUS Technologix Labs introduced i-Wizard, an intelligent video surveillance IP solution including Cameras and NVRs, that not only provides extra highdefinition image quality, but also brings more professional, convenient and intelligent video surveillance experience driving a comprehensive upgrade with smart functions.

At Secutech India - New Delhi, WD’s booth reflected the purple drive theme. WD displayed the entire range of surveillance hard drives. The company ingeniously introduced an innovative digital angle to engage the attendees and explain them its range of surveillance products.

“

Alvaro de Souza, CCTV Manager, VMI Sistemas de Seguranca, Brazil

This camera, designed with excellent low light capability, allows enhanced imaging performance in low light scenarios with minimum illumination of 0.6Lux @ F1.2 in color mode and 0.08Lux @ F1.2 in B/W mode. In addition, 3D digital noise reduction and true day / night ensure excellent image quality regardless of time of day as well as a resolution of 1280x960. 20

August 2014

“

The ultra 3D DNR feature enhances images by eliminating image noise and improving image clarity in low-light circumstances without creating ghosting and blurring. Further, with ultra WDR features, up to 120dB wide dynamic range can be realized that greatly improves image clarity, even under extreme lighting and backlight conditions.

“

Hikvision cameras with megapixel resolution come to meet a real need in the city of Belo Horizonte and for the Military Police of Minas Gerais for identification of suspects, supporting decision making for strategic military actions and protecting citizens during and after the World Cup 2014. Design, image quality, durability, maintenance and local support were key points for this wonderful solution to be chosen. I consider it a major milestone in the history of the Belo Horizonte and this project complements a great legacy of thousands of Hikvision cameras already installed in Brazil.

The i-wizard series uses ultra defogging features which renders better image quality and clarity through an image correction algorithm even in extreme foggy conditions. An enhanced Smart IR can help lighting adjustments with the surroundings and can handle a vast range of lighting conditions. Other features include smart Region of Interest (ROI), Electrical Image Stabilizer (EIS) and edge based video content analysis.

“

WD also arranged a live demo of WD Purple HDD for the visitors, wherein WD Purple HDD was installed in a DVR system and with the help of an LCD; it was showing the live telecast of the exhibition.

“

The i-Wizard supports triple streaming, each with its own codec, frame and bitrate. Two of the streams can support full HD Resolution and one stream for a mobile phone.

To keep up the digital spirit, a matching purple selfie booth was designed with purple coloured props such as purple caps, stylish purple sunglasses, and purple wigs provided to the visitors. The visitors were encouraged to click selfies with these props after which they were printed on a well-crafted WD Purple template. These images could also be shared on Facebook and Twitter simultaneously. Apart from the selfie booth, WD also organized a QR-code-enabled hunt activity. The visitors scanned QR codes for a treasure hunt in 60 seconds to win an exclusive WD Purple T-shirt. The QR Codes, in this activity, contained information about WD products and helped in engaging the audience better. All these activities managed to capture the avid attention of the audience at Secutech India 2014 due to their interactive approach and integration of the social media platforms.

We are very fortunate to be able to recruit the services of Shashi. His expertise and market knowledge will be extremely valuable to Wavestore as we look to capitalise on our reputation for delivering robust, reliable and flexible VMS solutions which can be custom designed to exactly match customer’s requirements

Chris Williams, Director, Wavestor

Reporting to Chris Williams, Director of Wavestore, Shashi will be responsible for developing business relationships with key market influencers in order to identify new sales opportunities for Wavestore’s video recording and management solutions throughout India & its neighbouring countries.

Sunil Nesarikar is recently appointed as New Chief Fire Officer of Mumbai Fire Brigade. The civic administration issued the order for the appointment of Nesarikar. The change at the helm of the Mumbai Fire Brigade comes in the wake of the recent incident in the Lotus Business Park in Andheri (West) on July 18 that claimed the life of a fireman and left 21 firefighters injured.

“

The process to demote A.K. Varma had already been initiated, but coincided with the recent fire incident. We have noticed at least five major fire incidents, wherein there was neither an analysis on the incident nor deliberation on what could have been done to avoid it. We also found that he heavily relied on the deputy fire officials and there have been zero initiatives in improving fire security in the city.

How Open Path Infrared (IR) Gas Detection Can Enhance Safety and Reduce Operational Costs Infrared (IR) technology has revolutionized the gas detection market. It offers many tangible benefits and adds value. By Amit Jain, Head Operations and Retrofit Sales, Honeywell Analytics (India) and Sanat Vajpai, Regional Business Leader for Honeywell Analytics (India)

t is fair to say that that Infrared (IR) technology has revolutionized the gas detection market, providing a principle of detection that offers many tangible benefits in terms of performance, functionality and reduced ongoing costs.

According to Amit Jain, head operations and retrofit sales at Honeywell Analytics (India), since IR’s introduction into gas detection during the late 1970s, a variety of principles have subsequently emerged, the most impacting of which has been Open Path. This is a detection technique 34

August 2014

that allows gas to be monitored across a large range. Unlike a single Point IR device, an Open Path detector usually has two components with a beam of IR light between them, allowing this type of device to detect a gas cloud that drifts into the beam. This configuration provides the instant benefit of an increased chance of detecting a gas leak. Designed to monitor a diverse variety of Hydrocarbon gases, Open Path IR has a number of key benefits that add real value, when compared to solutions like catalytic bead

detection. It is essential to consider the build, configuration and value of the Open Path devices currently available, when selecting a system, as they can vary considerably in terms of performance capability and ability to reduce ongoing costs. • An Open Path device provides a greater chance of seeing gas over any Point detection solution (including IR Point) • An Open Path device offers failto-safety operation (no unseen modes of failure), with selfchecking diagnostics • An Open Path device has a fast speed of response: typically T90 in less than 5 seconds • An Open Path device delivers increased sensitivity that allows for the measurement of LEL metres • An Open Path device offers low on-going costs, by requiring minimal maintenance over other Hydrocarbon detection solutions • Some Open Path devices, like Honeywell Analytics’ Searchline Excel, offer unrivalled reliability by maximising the chance of seeing gas in all weather conditions such as snow, fog, rain and high sunlight • Some Open Path devices like Honeywell Analytics’ Searchline Excel, can monitor long paths of up to 200 m • Some Open Path devices like Honeywell Analytics’ Searchline

FIRE SECURE

THE PRINCIPLE OF OPEN PATH IR Open Path uses NDIR (Nondispersive Infrared); a principle that is flexible and can be used for both Point and Open Path IR gas detection. The system works in the following way within the context of Open Path detection: The transmitter sends a beam of IR light from a lamp across a range towards a receiver. All Hydrocarbon gases absorb IR light at specific wavelengths, so the difference in light intensity when it reaches the receiver indicates the presence of a gas. The gas concentration is measured electro-optically by its absorption of a specific wavelength in the IR spectrum. The detector itself has an optical filter that eliminates

all light except the wavelength that the selected gas molecules can absorb. This is an essential aspect in minimising and potentially negating the occurrence of cross-sensitivity between gases that have similar absorption levels of IR light and also other phenomena such as water vapour, which also absorbs light within the Infrared spectrum.

the industry’s leading optical gas detection provider, Honeywell Analytics manufactures the current market-leading Open Path IR solution, Searchline Excel. One of the devices key values is its exceptional performance and stability, delivered through its intelligent optical configuration.” Weather phenomena can reduce the performance of some Open Path devices, but Searchline Excel’s sophisticated technology - including a patented double band pass filter that fully compensates for waterbased phenomena such as snow, ice, rain, fog and sea spray - make Searchline Excel reliable in all climatic conditions. The device is also immune to sunlight through the use of a Xenon flash lamp that is brighter than the Sun in the IR spectrum and has a unique pulse duration and shape that allows the device’s signal processing to validate that signals received are from the transmitter and no other sources. This makes Searchline Excel immune to all sources of radiation such as flare stacks, arc welding and lightening.

to work in the harshest weather conditions, including permafrost. The transmitter and receiver feature heated optics designed to reduce any moisture, condensation, snow or ice on the glass that could otherwise obscure the optics in extreme environments. MAXIMISING UPTIME, ENHANCING SAFETY AND REDUCING ONGOING COSTS One of the key values of Open Path devices is the ability to simplify maintenance and reduce ongoing costs. Searchline Excel is controlled by microprocessors with integrated self-diagnostics and fault monitoring functions that assist with planned maintenance. Aspects include in-built communication between the receiver and the operator, facilitated by a portable interrogator that is suitable for use in hazardous areas and can be connected via the device’s builtin RS485 serial communication. The interrogator offers the operator a menu-driven interface, which permits commands for commissioning and aligning, calibration and configuration of the system itself, including the visualisation system. Thanks to the device’s self-checking diagnostics, it is always able to “see gas” and provide an early warning of a need for maintenance. This makes Searchline Excel fail-to-safety, meaning that there are no unseen modes of failure and it can advise of a beam block because the receiver is always able to analyse the IR light received from the transmitter. With other detection principles, there is the chance of compromising a device’s ability to detect gas; examples include accidental painting of devices or a hood covering a unit. Even a Point IR detector will not be able to alert 36

August 2014

to a work glove being placed over its sensor; it will act as if it is online and ready to see gas, even though a potential gas release will not be able to permeate through the glove and into the device, so it can be detected. Many refineries and oil and gas applications use a mix of both Point IR devices and Open Path. Typically Point detectors monitor joints, seals and flanges where leaks are most likely to occur, and Open Path is used to enhance safety and ensure that a gas cloud is picked up, even if an air current changes, causing the gas to migrate away from a Point detector. Another cost-saving from some Open Path devices like Searchline Excel, is reduced wiring costs because of its ability to monitor a wide area with a single transmitter and receiver set-up - where many points would be needed to provide the same coverage and level of protection. Many comparable solutions available in the market place do not offer this reduced wiring capability and this is a key aspect that makes Honeywell Analytics’ Searchline Excel capable of delivering notable cost savings and adding real value. Three range formats of Searchline Excel are available: short range (5-40 m), medium range (40-120 m) and long range (120-200 m), depending on application needs. In fact, Searchline Excel offers one of the longest potential ranges in the market place, with its 200 m detection path capability. Searchline Excel’s multi-drop Modbus capability can enable significant savings in installation and cabling costs. A single

communications cable can be run between up to 32 detectors instead of the usual ‘home run’ required for each detector. Additionally, the 2-way digital communication protocol allows configuration, warning and fault diagnostics to be communicated back to the control room. This reduces servicing and maintenance costs as the operator can diagnose the state of any individual unit before deciding to send anyone into the field.

Big Demand for Smart and Secure

Transport

Solutions By Anant Joshi, a&s India

India’s transport sector is large and diverse; it caters to the needs of 1.1 billion people. The major security challenges in this vertical are faced due to unorganized infrastructure development and lack of proper security arrangements. Transport in India is an important part of India’s economy. Transport sector accounts for a share of 6.4 per cent in India’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP). Road transport has emerged as the dominant segment in India’s transportation sector with a share of 5.4 per cent in India’s GDP. Since the economic liberalization of the 1990s, development of infrastructure within the country has progressed at a rapid pace, and today there is a wide variety of modes of transport by land, water and air. However, India’s relatively low GNP per capita has meant that access to these modes of transport has not been uniform. In the interim, public transport remains the primary mode of transport for most of the population, and India’s public transport systems are among the most heavily used in the world. Traffic in Indian cities generally moves slowly, where traffic jams and accidents are very common. India has very poor records on road safely—around 90,000 people die from road accidents every year. At least 13 people die every hour in road accidents in the country. 39

Because the loss of health is the most serious effect of crashes for society and for the individual, it leads both to serious personal suffering and to huge societal losses. Therefore, it is essential to state at this early stage that loss of health is the main road safety criterion.” According to Andrew Minkinn, General Manager, PACOM, “The transportation sectors today bear a huge responsibility for safety of passengers, goods and staff that daily move between various locations. With an increased number of incidents such as cargo theft and security threats, an open, integrated security solution with intelligent reporting tools and ease of use has become mandatory in order to comply with challenges as these.” According to Jason Burgur, Sales

environment, and expensive vehicles in constant motion necessitate a comprehensive or integrated solution. Combined with increasing threats, tougher regulations and reduced budgets, security becomes an even bigger challenge,” observed Anand Jain. He further added, “One of the imperatives for transport authorities is to assuring passenger security during journeys. Protecting passengers and their belongings against any possible threat requires a surveillance system that uses the very latest technology to reduce intervention times to a minimum and react to emergency situations as efficiently as possible.” “There are plenty of considerations when considering smart and secure transport. The intelligence in smart transport systems comes from the ability to take input and alter the behavior of the system to cope with changes. These changes could be increased traffic or a breakdown somewhere across the network which means the way the system operates needs to behave. Maybe that is using lights to adjust the rate of oncoming traffic on a roadway, reducing the speed with variable speed signs or using overhead signs to indicate a lane is unavailable,” observed Subhasish Gupta. He further added, ”This intelligence requires technology and a robust network to support it - a network that performs 100% of the time as network outage can result in closure of a roadway. This exact thing happened to an intelligent roadway in Australia in October 2012.” INNOVATIONS “The latest solutions consist of Mobile DVR, integrated Control Panel Unit along with powerful cameras. Featuring monitor in control panel unit enables driver to view live monitoring of the inside vehicle while driving.

The unit also has intercom by which communication between vehicle and control room can be established anytime and anywhere. The built-in alarm can send alerts to the control room in emergency scenarios,” said Yogesh B Dutta. He further informed, “These innovative solutions can withstand severe shock and vibration conditions with its special anti-vibration design and provide a reliable recording performance. The DVRs have intuitive graphical user interface (GUI) that makes navigation simpler for users and provides high resolution image for evidence and tracing. In the new offering, all the three MDVRS support GPS functions for vehicle tracking and location verification on Google or Microsoft Virtual Maps. In addition, they are shipped with WiFi 3G enabling to communicate with central station or any scattered monitoring stations.” “There are innovations happening in terms of Public Transport Security like Unifying video networking architecture and specification, Establishing video networking platform and information sharing platform, Establishing different levels of video information database, Improving safe accessing of video information,” suggested Ashish P. Dhakan.

“As surveillance in this segment is up to Airport terminal , Ports area, Railways & Bus Stations, so the solution is only limited to kind of perimeter surveillance. It is yet to reach integrated security solution level. However, in few locations, LPR and Red Light Violation solution has been implemented, but lot of improvements are still needed,” said William Ku According to Shakti Leekha, “Unfortunately with us all technology available, sometime we need enforcement for safety case in point compliance on seat belts while in vehicle. Govt is working on more stringent norms for same.” “In case of human life securing, special initiative is more awareness and each of us understanding value of life and best technology with right upkeep and ownership so that we ensure performance and equipment delivers in time of need,” said Shakti Leekha. “Innovations like special Access Control Solution integrated with Video Monitoring and Alarm System for “Cash Vans” from Rosslare has completely changed the way security was getting managed with companies operating Cash Vans. These days with ATMs at every nook and corner and at very remote and rural area, it’s important 43

He further added, “In the accessories, the users can also avail lock box for these MDVRs which are designed to prevent MDVR against any unauthorized access and also protect them.” “Hikvision has gained rich experience from more than 300 cities safety city projects, realizing different deployment and applications. Providing various special function modules to meet different requirements in different scenarios. Rich accumulation of service process, data flow, permission module in multilevel architecture are some of the competencies,” informed Ashish Dhakan.

to have fool proof security solution for Vans carrying Cash and Rosslare’s Cash Van Access Control Solution ensures that the Cash Van should have one of best and smart access control for all the Cash Van Gates and properly integrated with CCTV Cameras and Intrusion Alarm System. Offering everything on a single platform is where Rosslare Solution excel,” said Manmohan Kumar, Sales Director India - Security Division, Rosslare Electronics India. According to Khwaja Saifuddin, Senior Sales Director – Middle East, Africa and South Asia, WD, “Rapid development of roads and highways means that there will be vast stretches of unguarded areas. Therefore, there is a growing demand in the transportation sector for surveillance solutions that provide digital video recording facilities through multiple camera installations. The number of videos generated by such surveillance systems is on the increase. Such deployments need complementing storage drives that can accurately record and when required, playback videos. These drives 44

must ensure reliability, performance, and quality in a round the clock work environment. In this segment, WD offers surveillance storage drives like WD Purple, WD Se and WD Re.” He further added, “WD Purple surveillance-class storage has been tested to be compatible in a wide-range of security systems. These drives are designed to replace standard desktop drives that were not designed for the harsh 24/7 always-on, high-definition surveillance environment.” INITIATIVES “Apart from all the innovative Mobile security solutions which ensure safety, the latest Central Monitoring Software (CMS) enable the administrator to set the speed limit of the vehicle so that the software can raise an alert in case driver exceeds the speed limit. Similarly, the administrator can adjust geo-fencing alarm, making the driver to follow the decided route. The CMS also enables administrator to view live monitoring of multiple vehicles on one screen at the same time,” observed Yogesh B Dutta.

He further added, “Hikvision mobile surveillance system is a complete solution for video surveillance of vehicles, including video and audio preview, hard disk recording and storage, wireless network transmission, GPS satellite positioning, alarm information upload, central monitoring platform, remote video downloads, historical driving track information inquiries etc.” According to William Ku, “VIVOTEK has developed a broad range of cameras with several unique specifications to suit the needs of transportation applications.“ He further added, “VIVOTEK’s compact fisheye cameras provide an ideal surveillance solution for tight spaces such as train carriages and buses. Panoramic PTZ combines fisheye and speed dome functionality, providing the ability to switch seamlessly between monitoring an entire space and examining a specific region of interest.” “The video rotation feature in cameras like the MD8531H offers a way to capture a comprehensive view of such narrow spaces as well as more

open locations such as train platforms. In addition, cameras such as the MD8562 and FE8174V are engineered to provide an extremely wide field of view, providing a tailor-made solution for such environments,” added William Ku. He further elaborated, “Superior solutions for the transportation sector must begin with support for key industry standards. VIVOTEK seeks compliance with the widest possible range of such standards, encompassing interfaces, physical design, interoperability, and more.An example of the important standards supported in VIVOTEK products is the EN50155 guideline for electronic equipment on rolling stock such as railway trains. EN50155 specifies a number of criteria that compliant devices must meet, including humidity resistance, operating temperature range, and electromagnetic isolation.” “Besides, thefts and mischief are common in buses, trains, and metros. Viewing on this, installing a surveillance system with features like face recognition, loitering detection, crowd management, un-attended baggage identifications is actually quite important to secure human lives and goods. VIVOTEK has developed VADP (VIVOTEK Application development Platform), an open platform for integrating video analytic functionality within its cameras. With VADP, line crossing detection can be directly installed in VIVOTEK cameras. Users can pre-set several lines for detecting object crossing. This intelligent function is especially ideal for monitoring platforms in train stations or metro stations, enabling police or security staff to take actions proactively before any damage or tragedy occurs.” informed William ku.

“ITS

According to Nitin Goel, (Intelligent Traffic Systems)

technologies have a big potential in alleviating all of these problems. Transmission of information, using ICT applications, is an important step towards improvement of the quality of movement (both people and goods) along the road network of a city. “ ITS applications can be across all modes of transport, and can be broadly categorized into the following segments: • Telecommunication systems • Public access mobile radio networks (GSM, UMTS, etc.) • Private mobile networks and network services dedicated to road transport operators (including private mobile radio (PMR), dedicated short-range communications (DSRC), vehicle to vehicle and vehicleto infrastructure technologies • Automatic Identification Systems (AIS) • Radio frequency identification (RFID); Smart cards; Video identification technology • Automatic Vehicle Location Systems (AVLS) • GPS based; Cellular networks;

• •

Systems based on automatic identification devices, in case of fixed routes. Traffic data collection and automatic classification systems Cartographic databases and Geographic Information Systems (GIS).

According to Nitin Goel, By using ITS technologies we are able to get below results: Traveler information – which include services to support traveler decisions making before and during the trip – which travel mode to use, start time, specific route etc. Traffic management – for management of traffic flow on roads. Demand management – Services to reduce traffic demand on roads and congestion in city centers by charging for road use and promoting use of other travel modes. Road management – which includes physical maintenance of roads/pavements including repairs. 45

“Pacom Systems, a global leader in integrated security solutions in the area of multi-site solutions and campus style environments has been pioneering security solutions over IP networks for more than 30 years and is trusted by some of the world’s most prestigious organizations, said Andrew Milkinn. He further informed, “Pacom has many years’ experience in providing integrated security solutions with a flexibility that allows for various transportation organizationsto have operations worldwide. By providing open, product-agnostic security solutions, Pacom shows an understanding for the changing business environment within transportation sectors such as aviation, ports and railways.” “By implementing a single, userfriendly platform that integrates all security systems such as access control, alarm management, fire, video or intercom the level of security will significantly increase and a strong positive impact on financial performance can be achieved. Any incidents will be seen on camera, all access activities logged and any alarms shown on graphical maps making identification of location quick and easy,” concluded Milkinn. According to Anand Jain following solutions can help in securing transport sector. Surveillance system: Prevent vandalism – One problem many cities face is constant vandalism, especially at stations and on buses and subways. Prominent video surveillance cameras can prevent vandals from defacing property and buses with graffiti. Prevent violence and crime –

Public transportation has been a target for terrorists in recent years. A comprehensive video surveillance system can help you reduce crime or theft opportunities, and can be useful in identifying theft, violence, gang activity or other suspicious behavior so it may be stopped. Ease of use - Even the most large and complex public transportation network is easy to monitor with video surveillance. Advances in technology has made it easy for surveillance systems to have multiple types of footage that is centrally monitored Turnstiles: Turnstile technology has made the transport industry much smarter over recent years and can include suitable directional icons to guide people effortlessly. Particularly, in the event of an emergency or power failure, they can incorporate a failsafe safety solution to aid a rapid evacuation with the most important element being the safety of people’s lives.Turnstiles can be used to control the flow of both staff and visitors to transportation location. They are also a physical deterrent and

barrier to stop people wishing to access an area, without authority. According to Subhasish Gupta, “There are many innovations in safety and security in the transport sector. Intelligence built into roads can be used to determine vary the rate of oncoming traffic to ensure the optimum performance of the road and reduce frustration for drivers and vehicle profiling can be used to identify heavy vehicles that may be exceeding their permitted length or height or vehicles that are speeding. “ He further observed, “CCTV can be used to improve transport safety across all modes of transport such as road, rail and air and also identify vehicles that for whatever reason should not be on the road. We see the amount of intelligence built into transport systems increasing as the ability for vehicles to communicate increases and as the world looks into the concept of things such as self-driving or autonomous vehicles.”

Strategic Planning for Transport Security The Transportation sector comprises all modes of transportation (Aviation, Maritime, Mass Transit, Highway, Freight Rail, and Pipeline) - is a vast, open, interdependent networked system that moves millions of passengers and millions of tons of goods. The transportation network is critical to the Nation’s way of life and economic vitality. Ensuring its security is the mission charged to all sector partners, including government (Central, State and local) and private industry stakeholders. BY CAPT. S.B. TYAGI, CO-FOUNDER AND CHIEF COUNCILLOR, ICISSM

as ‘Infrastructure’ – transport sector being one of them including oil & natural gas, electricity generation & distribution and aviation etc.

Capt. S.B. Tyagi, Co-Founder and Chief Councillor, ICISSM

POLICY The Transportation Sector needs to join together in away to protect its customers, systems, and assets. The private sector needs to contribute in sector-wide risk-reduction efforts, often of their own volition. State and local governments likewise also need to react swiftly to the attacks, enhancing first-response capabilities, increasing vigilance, and securing potential targets. This type of cooperation among the diverse sector stakeholders will be one of the strengths of the Transportation Systems Sector-Specific Plan. In this direction, the ‘Indian Infrastructure Security Policy’ (ISSP) needs to be framed to keep diverse security imperatives of different types and sectors which are defined 48

August 2014

PLAN This IISP needs to direct concerned ministries and departments to have Sector Specific Security Plans (SSSP) which must have over riding philosophy and approach to provide secure and resilient transportation network, enabling legitimate travellers and goods to move without undue fear of harm or significant disruption of commercial and civil activities.The calamities and catastrophic events such as Mumbai 26/11 terrorist attack or tsunami in southern coastal areas can lead to the situation when the aviation system is shut down and the borders are closed, causing supply chain disruptions across multiple industries. Thus recognizing the importance of systems is Key when determining cost-effective countermeasures. Since resources available for protecting Critical Infrastructure /Key Resources are discretely limited, a robust decision making process that provides critical information to identify the highest priority systems and assets is very necessary. VARIOUS SECTORS’ INTERDEPENDENCIES The Transportation Systems Sector has significant interdependencies

with many of the other critical infrastructure sectors. For instance, the Transportation Systems and Energy sectors directly depend on each other to move vast quantities of fuel to a broad range of users and to supply the fuel for all types of transportation. In addition to cross-sector interdependencies, interdependencies and supply chain implications are among the various sectors and modes that must be considered. There are six major subsectors under Transportation sectors which need slightly different yet interlinked, interdependent policies and plans • • • • • •

Aviation, Maritime, Mass Transit, Highway, Freight Rail, and Pipeline

THREATS The terrorists will continue to target the transportation network and a systems-based risk management (SBRM) strategy that lays out a strategic framework to improve the sector’s risk management posture is necessary. This strategy focuses on implementing multiple layers of security to defeat and deter the more plausible and dangerous forms ofattacks against the Nation’s transportation network. While issues of safety and security

PDF Compressor Pro

have been before transport planners and managers for many years, it is only recently that physical security has become an over-riding issue. Over this, an important nuance must be provided between criminal activities and terrorism. While both seek to exploit the security weaknesses of transportation, they do so for very different reasons. Following are the threat potentials • Terrorism is at start a symbolic activity seeking forms of destruction and disruption to coerce a political or religious agenda. In this context, transportation is mostly a target. • In the freight industry security concerns have been directed in two areas: worker safety and loss prevention. • Criminal activities are seeking an economic return from illegal transactions such as drugs, weapons, piracy and illegal immigration. In this context, transportation is mostly a vector for illegal transactions. • The issue of thefts has been one of the most severe problems confronting all types of freight terminals, especially where high value goods are being handled. Over the years access to freight terminals has been increasingly restricted, and the deployment of security personnel has helped control thefts somewhat. • In addition, threats to health, such as the spread of pandemics, present significant challenges to transport planning and operations. Because of the nature of transport systems, safety and security issue concerns the modes and the terminals. Each involves a different set of issues. • As locations where passengers and freight are assembled and dispersed, terminals have particularly been a focus of concern about security and safety.

• Freight terminals have been considered dangerous work places. With heavy goods being moved around yards and loaded onto vehicles using large mobile machines or manually, accidents are systemic. • Because railway stations and airports are some of the most densely populated sites anywhere, crowd control and safety have been issues that have preoccupied security managers for a long time. DELIVERABLES FROM GOOD SECURITY PLAN In the wake of 9/11, the US government created the Department of Homeland Security which in turn established a Transportation Security Authority (TSA) to oversee the imposition of strict new security measures on the industry. The imposition of these measures has come at a considerable cost. World over Passengers for international flights are now expected to arrive 2 hours before departure at the terminal in order to clear security.Security issues have had a negative effect on the air transport industry as costs increased with delays and inconveniences to passengers increasing as well. The new US initiative in aviation sector has changed the way travellers used to fly! The naivety and the innocence has gone, now it is hard-nosed, matterof-fact security environment when any breach may cost very dear to the economy or nation’s survival as spiralling consequences will not leave the world untouched! Business travel, the most lucrative sub-market for the regular airlines, has been negatively impacted. These passengers are switching to other modes for shorter trips so as to avoid the time delays and aggravation caused by the security process and to

executive jets for longer trips. Global supply chains have drawn the emphasis in transport security which is reshaping into a more comprehensive but complex approach and measures. The expected outcomes of these measures include: • Reduced risk of disruptions of trade in response to security threats. • Improved security against theft and diversion of cargo, with reductions in direct losses (cargo and sometime the vehicle) and indirect costs. • Improved security against illegal transport of black market goods such counterfeits, narcotics and weapons, and of persons. • Reduced evasion of duties and taxes. • Increased confidence in the international trading systems by current and potential shippers of goods. • Improved screening process (cost and time) and simplified procedures. Still, in spite of the qualitative benefits, the setting and implementation of security measures come at a cost that must be assumed by the shippers and eventually by the consumers. It has been estimated that an increase of 1% in the costs of trading internationally would cause a decrease in trade flows of in the range of 2 to 3%. Security based measures could increase total costs between 1% and 3%. Additionally, the impacts are not uniformly assumed as developing countries, particularly export-oriented economies, tend to have higher transport costs. Security measures can affect them in a greater fashion.

.265 is the next-generation video compression format that claims to be twice as efficient as H.264, the current industry standard. In Q4 2013, the first milestone in a continuous research effort to apply this new compression technology in broadcast was achieved. However, for the security and surveillance industry, H.265 is still a myth and not yet implemented on a wide scale. Since HD is the ultimate trend, H.265 will be crucial in getting 4K “Ultra HD” contents to our televisions, PCs and

Since H.265 is the future of television and video, will it become the mainstream for security and surveillance as well? Professional surveillance vendors are not sure either, since H.265 deployment in security and surveillance is not only subject to the challenges mentioned above but also dependent on its end-users. There are project-based professional users and general consumers for surveillance applications. Professional users are those who conduct city surveillance, traffic monitoring and bank monitoring and who demand solutions that are more stable and reliable. Most of them already have existing technologies and therefore would be hesitant to adopt H.265, which requires a longer verification period. On the other hand, SMB users and consumers such as home and shop users

are faced with less installation cost and are therefore more likely to adopt the new technology. For this reason, H.265 could have its early success in SMB applications and gain acceptance in the consumer market. With the wide adoption of IP surveillance, HD trends are everywhere. Yet at the same time, limitations of the H.264 standard have begun to emerge. 1080P video contents, for example, require 4 to 10Mbps bandwidth, creating huge cost pressure for service providers and SIs. Network bandwidth and storage equipment usually account for 40 to 50 percent of system investments in the surveillance ecosystem, and bandwidth cost and maturity of equipment technology are major issues facing operators offering Full HD. If H.265/HEVC standard matures

quickly, and its compression efficiency is improved by 50 percent over H.264, it can result in 20 percent investment savings, ensuring higher performance and lower network and system building cost in video surveillance.

CONCLUSION H.265 has more superior features than H.264, so it's just a matter of time before H.265 standard and components are ready for market. We are cautiously optimistic about the future of the H.265/HEVC standard, as HD 1080P TV broadcasting and 4K video streaming with H.265 are already possible. There is even the possibility that mobile devices will be required to support H.265, and manufacturers will try their best to accommodate.

tablets over the next few years. Achieving those objectives depends on the core components of the H.265 codec that are being developed and will probably launch in 2014. H.265 is a video compression format that delivers crisper network video contents and requires 50 percent less bandwidth for the same image quality as H.264, making it easier to download or stream HD video. That said, over the next few years we can view Full HD contents online with our mobile devices such as cell phones and tablets. H.265 supports 4K (4096×2160) and 8K (8192×4320) Ultra HD (UHD) contents as well. This makes H.265 an ideal technology for delivering high-quality IP videos and creates the possibility that H.265-supported IP cameras, DVRs, and NVRs will roll out over the next few months. The H.264 standard has dominated the market for the past five years. Now, with H.265 set to become the mainstream, we must understand what the advantages of H.265 and their best-fit applications are. The following article explains the H.265 codec and its future trends.

WHAT IS H.2 6 5 ? H.265 is a video compression standard, a successor to H.264, that was jointly developed by the ITU-T Video Coding Experts Group (VCEG) and related groups. On August 22, 2012, Ericsson announced the world's first H.265 encoder, the Ericsson SVP 5500. In only six months, H.265 (also known as High Efficiency Video Coding, HEVC) was approved as the official successor to H.264 as an ITU-T standard. H.265 is said to double the data compression ratio compared to H.264 at the same level of video quality. It can alternatively be used to provide substantially improved video quality at the same bit rate. It can support 8K UHD and resolutions up to 8192x4320. H.265 was designed to significantly increase coding efficiency compared to H.264 – that is, to reduce bit rate requirements by half with comparable image quality. Depending on the application requirements, H.265 encoders can mitigate computational complexity; improve compression rate, robustness and error correction; and reduce encoding latency. While H.264 can transfer SD contents in 1Mbps, H.265 is able to transfer

▲H.265 makes it easier to download or stream HD video from TV and other mobile devices; but in security, it will still take more time for H.265 to be ready for the market.

720p (1280x720) and HD content in 1-2 Mbps. Some leading IT pioneers like Qualcomm, Broadcom and Huawei have been showcasing related products enabled with H.265, which many believe is likely to replace H.264 as the global major compression standard.

WHY IS H.2 6 5 SUPERIOR THAN H.2 6 4 ? H.265/HEVC video coding uses the same approach as H.264/AVC, including inter-/ intra-picture prediction, transform coding, quantization, deblocking filter, and entropy coding. But H.265/HEVC comprises coding units (CUs), predict units (PUs) and transform units (TUs). Compared to H.264/AV, H.265/HEVC provides different methods to reduce the compression rate. Each marcoblock in H.264/AVC is 16x16 pixels, while in H.265/ HEVC the marcoblock provides different options, from 8x8, 16x16 to 64x64 pixels. What H.265 does is analyzing video contents and breaking them down into CUs of different sizes. For example, it would take much smaller blocks (down to 4x4 pixels) to encode detailed areas, like a vehicle in a parking lot, and much bigger blocks to encode the background, which contains less video data. H.265 employs 33 directional modes for intra-prediction, compared to the 8 directional modes for intra-prediction used by H.264. With the same image quality, H.265 delivers 39 to 44 percent less decoding bit streams than H.264. This result may vary with different quality assurance methods. Peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR) and subjective assessment of video quality are standard ways to measure the coding efficiency of a video coding mechanism. In a subjective assessment of video quality, H.265 delivers the same or better coding efficiency than H.264 with bit 53

www.asindia.in

PDF Compressor Pro SPECIAL FEATURE streams reduced by 51 to 74 percent. This result is very important since subjective assessment of video quality is considered to be the most important way to measure a video coding standard, as humans perceive video quality subjectively. Like H.264, which uses the Main, Baseline and Simple profiles, the first approved version of the HEVC/H.265 standard includes Main, Main 10, and Main Still Picture profiles. The Main profile supports bit depth of 8 bits per sample, which allows for 256 shades per primary color, translating into a total of 16.8 million colors. The Main 10 profile supports bit depth of 10 bits per sample, which allows for 1024 shades per primary color or a total of 1.1 billion colors, making it ideal for UHDTV. They both use 4:2:0 chroma sampling. HEVC also contains provisions for additional profiles. Future extensions that are being discussed for HEVC include increased bit depth, 4:2:2 and 4:4:4 chroma sampling, multiview video coding (MVC), and scalable video coding (SVC). On January 8, 2013, Broadcom announced in CES the BCM7445, which is an Ultra HD decoding chip capable of decoding HEVC of up to 4096x2160p at 60 fps. The BCM7445 is a 28-nm ARM-architecture chip capable of 21,000 Dhrystone MIPS with volume production estimated for the middle of 2014.

FUTURE TRENDS OF H.2 6 5 CODING Security and surveillance vendors are more concerned about the time-tomarket of devices that support H.265/ HEVC coding. This will depend on many factors -- for example, how soon will graphics chips makers, such as AMD and NVIDIA, integrate H.265 into their products. The first generation of H.265 chipsets may be only suitable for initial video coding standards, and there are still 54

â&#x2013;˛The H.265 codec will be the ultimate solution for 4K and 8K options that can enable Ultra high definition television (UHDTV). But challenges on transmission, storage and playback still linger.

many H.265 image processing functions, extensions, and multiview video coding that need to be enhanced. In 2013 CPSE, Hisilicon and Grain Media did a demo on the initial results of their H.265 research. All of the invited visitors were impressed and agreed that H.265 had a huge potential. However, challenges still remain. These include H.265 coding complexity and an imbalance between cost and product features. Many manufacturers in the security and surveillance industry hope that with the eforts of chipset and IC technology vendors, HEVC will quickly replace H.264 as the dominant IP surveillance coding technology. While most cable TV and digital TV broadcasters are still using the MPEG-2 standard, the good news is that some TV broadcasting companies have replaced MPEG-2 with H.265 standard for HDTV applications, as H.265 reduces bandwidth consumption by 70 to 80 percent and can support full HD 1080P TV broadcasting with existing bandwidth conditions. Compared to cable TV companies, satellite TV providers may adopt the H.265 standard earlier. The H.265 codec will be the ultimate solution for 4K and 8K options that can

enable Ultra high definition television (UHDTV). But challenges on transmission, storage and playback still linger. Right now, only few native 4K video contents are available, and manufacturers are just planning to launch 4K IP cameras in Q3 2014. The introduction of H.265 coding standard means that the theory is ready, but a unified method to transmit such ultra HD signals is not. Therefore, such development is quite crucial. In addition, the storage of H.265 encoded videos would also be a problem. Even the Blu-ray Disc Association is working to find a solution to enable storage of 4K videos on Blu-ray discs. Theoretically, this should become possible with an extension of the H.264 format, but bit streams become an issue. Only discs with at least 100GB capacity will enable storage of Blu-ray 4K movies encoded with H.264. But where can you find 100GB re-writable discs? In other words, even though H.265 coding and chipset components are ready, it still lacks the storage and playback solutions that support 4K contents and that are compatible with the existing Blu-ray Disc standard. This is the major challenge for H.265 development.

This Committee defined the systems, IT and telecommunications solutions for the Minas government’s public notice, using the most sophisticated technology, in line with FIFA’s requirements.

Solution

8 years ago, on 5 September 1965, the Estádio Governador Magalhães Pinto was inaugurated with a match between Seleção Mineira and River Plate. Since then,the stadium, popularly known as Mineirão, has undergone several refurbishments and been listed by the Cultural Heritage Advisory Committee of the Belo Horizonte municipality. Now, in preparation to host matches during the 2014 FIFA World Cupand 2016 Summer Olympics, Mineirão has undergone large-scale redevelopment to make it a multi-event arena. Managed by Minas Arena, it isconsidered one of the country’s main stadiums and has now earned it its place as one of the keyvenues for the two biggest sporting events in the world.

Challenges The main challenge was to select a high-tech security solution for the arena, with technology that reached and exceeded the standards in force at major football stadiums abroad. This had to be done while complying with FIFA’s

August 2014

Systems integrator Johnson Controls set the parameters for consideration and selected Sony cameras for the project. The selection process took several types of cameras into account, based on the individual requirements of each one. The chosen solution involved a total of 364 Sony security cameras, and was completed through Johnsons Controls. The solution consisted of 275 fixed HD high-resolution cameras, and 89 mobile HD high-resolution rapid dome cameras with optical and digital zoom. The Sony SNC-DH180 was used for the fixed camera requirements.Used to protect against vandalism it has an infrared illuminator that guarantees images even in darkness. They are high-resolution HD cameras, offering 30 frames per second and a PoE (Power Over Ethernet) system, meaning they can be powered using the data transfer cable - simplifying the infrastructure. Sony SNC-ER520rapid dome cameras were used for the mobile cameras, providing a 360º continuous pan quality image, with a wide visual field,PTZ 36x optical functions and 12x digital zoom. Their power system is

HPoE (High Power Over Ethernet). The cameras were installed in strategic locations to allow monitoring of internal areas, the stands and critical areas. They are located in areas which included internal corridors, the car park, turnstile access areas andby the pitch. All the images generated by the CCTV system are directed to Mineirão’s Operational Control Centre. These images are monitored in real time to assist with security. CCTV operation and management software is available, and all images are stored on a server for a fixed period of time.

Why Sony was selected Johnson Controls carried out a broad market analysis, to select the best partner for the project. They required a partner that would honour the company’s strength and had appropriate technical expertise, with the potential to provide their employees with the best training. In a partnership that was approved by the Technology Committee, Sony was selected because it best fulfilled these criteria, while also providing the reliability and versatility that the stadium needed. Sony’s cameras were easily integrated into the stadium’s CCTV management infrastructure. On top of high image standards, Sony’s IP cameras also offer DEPA (Distributed Enhanced Processing Architecture) smart image analysis features. Theseoffer the Minas Arena the perfect recording and monitoring solution for high quality image analysis and detection through alarm activation and processing in and around the stadium.

Staff are able to make specific announcements to individual travelers including wheelchair-users, giving advice that is appropriate to their situation or difficulty. They can also discount frivolous activation of emergency buttons – perhaps by schoolchildren - with a simple evaluation of images.

As part of continuing improvements in customer care and heightened vigilance against terrorism, Deutsche Bahn AG has begun to transform its operational control centers and upgraded camera surveillance from analogue to IP systems. These measures are part of information gathering at control hubs known as ‘3-S Centers’ where video streams, audio signals, telephone and radio messages are assessed so that appropriate action can be taken.

The Hikvision cameras have been installed as part of a turnkey emergency and logistical solution designed by the Munich-based systems house Indanet AG who work closely with Hikvision as a technology partner and specialize in the public transport and traffic management sectors. These 1.3 megapixel cameras offer H.264 / MPEG-4 dual-stream realtime video compression with various frame rate options according to usage demands.

The cameras use a 2.7~9mm (F1.2) lens and feature a 1/3” SONY progressive scan CCD. Minimum illumination is 0.1 lux at F1.2 or 0.01 lux at F1.2 in black and white mode. These dome units can be triggered by motion detection and if needed users can store data ‘at the edge’ on a 32-gigabyte SD/SDHC local card. There are local alarm inputs and outputs with audio compression achieved by the Ogg Vorbis format, a feature that was consistent with the open-protocol approach demanded by the end-user on this project. The cameras have an ingress protection rating of IP66 and the enclosures are providing protection against airborne contaminants including brake pad particles which are a familiar problem at railway stations. Jurgen Fuchs, Director of Strategic Projects at Indanet AG, said: “The Hikvision cameras are proving robust in a demanding environment and the price-to-performance ratio is impressive. We are also able to access technical support from Hikvision’s European office in Amsterdam with excellent response levels and informed advice. At a major railway station with extensive subsystems there are many demands on bandwidth and RAID storage.

Pro-growth Budget Ashish P. Dhakan, CEO & Managing Director, Prama Hikvision

Appreciate the Vision

Aditya Khemka, C.E.O. and Director, Aditya Infotech

With a substantial allocation for road and highways, new ports and harbors, police reforms, and woman safety, the budget emphasizes the need to improve and build infrastructure, manufacturing and safety in the country. We appreciate the vision and future roadmap envisioned in the first Union budget presented by Narendra Modi government. A lot of thrust on infrastructure and manufacturing will help create substantial job opportunities for the young generation. We believe that CCTV growth and infrastructure development go hand in hand. We, therefore, are confident that in the coming years, it will give a big boost from security Industry perspective. However, we request to rationalize the tariff structure across security sector. CCTV is no more a luxury item, yet manufacturers and distributors are paying hefty taxes on it. Lack of government support in this area has been encouraging unorganized players to evade taxes and dump inferior security products in India. Moreover, we expect the government to pull down import tariffs to a more feasible level, which will enable easy access to security products at an affordable cost. Since surveillance is not a luxury item, we expect the government authorities to treat the Surveillance industry as per with IT. These initiatives will also encourage the local manufacture of security product.

The first budget of the Narendra Modi government has taken the right step at an opportune time. The prudence and realism in an uncertain time is well appreciated. The budget is pro-growth in all sense as NDA government’s maiden budget retains the ambitious target of 4.1 percent GDP for fiscal deficit in financial year 2015. Although Big-ticket infrastructure projects including Rs 37,880 crore for National Highway Authority of India, Rs 14,000 crore for rural roads, Rs 7,060 crore for 100 smart cities and satellite towns with transport and infrastructure. Security Industry was expecting more substantial steps from government in terms of import duty on security products and solutions. We hope these issues will be addressed by the government in due course. There are many long pending issues, which are not addressed. We sincerely hope NDA government to take up the pro active measure to spur the growth of Indian Security Industry.

Nothing for Electronic Security Industry Rajeev Samanta, Regional Sales Director –South Asia, Tyco Security Products

One positive aspect of the budget is that it stays away from short-term and popular sops. It makes a genuine attempt to get the economy back in order. Yes, many of the initiatives involve long term structural reforms and have long gestation periods. So the benefits will take some time to accrue to the security industry.

Rs.7060 core has been allocated for developing 100 smart cities. Such smart cities require the convergence of several technologies including video surveillance. CCTVs on the streets increase public safety through better surveillance and the security industry will surely benefit once these materialize. Investments in new airports in smaller towns, metro railway in Ahmedabad and Lucknow, 16 new port projects with investments of Rs. 11,000 crore are good for the security industry –but once again, such projects require years to be completed. The NDA government has also announced Rs. 37,887 crore investments for NHAI and state highways. The partial tax passthrough for Real Estate Investment Trusts and Infrastructure Investment Trusts with clarifications on the tax regime is good. Global Investors should now be encouraged to take part in real estate assets in India in the medium term. What will be more immediate in terms of results is the impact on the realty sector with several measures taken to make buying houses more affordable and attractive. One also hopes that the budget’s attempts to get FDI are also realized more quickly and consistently. There’s nothing much on FDI in retail given the Government’s well known stance on this topic. There’s some small and inadequate relief to encourage manufacturing and excise relief on LCD/LED panels of a certain size and PC components . Nothing for the electronic security market except talk about a small pilot scheme on the security of women. A lot more needs to be done and I hope that the budget is still ‘work-in- progress’ and that the more radical measures needed to boost growth will be taken over the next one year.

Positive Budget Pramoud Rao, Founder & Managing Director, ZICOM

The budget is positive, there is everything for everyone. Keeping the short time the government is in power, the budget tries to inject motivation & momentum. There is a directions but disappointed with no big reform announced expect FDI in Defence and supply of capital for long term capital assets looks good. Not a firecracker budget, beginning of Acche Din has started in a small way It’s more of a direction budget. Time will tell if the small tinkering will help

Positive budget for security industries Atulya Chandra, Regional Director, Honeywell Security, South Asia

The Indian Union Budget and Railway Budget 2014-15 appear to be positive for the security industry. Security industry’s growth is largely a function of the economic growth within the country and certain key verticals. This budget has made all the right announcements to excite the industry. India’s GDP growth, which has been lingering around 4-6% mark over the last few years, has been estimated to increase to 7-8% within 3-4 years. The budget also announced significant growth initiatives for verticals like infrastructure, education, banking, railways, airports, seaports, etc. Allocation of Rs 7,060 crore for developing 100 Smart Cities may result in a number of City Surveillance projects. www.asindia.in 6565 www.asindia.in

The Railway budget announced modernization of railway stations and use of CCTVs at stations for surveillance and also to monitor cleanliness activities. Sixteen new sea-port projects are proposed to develop port connectivity. Schemes for development of new airports in Tier I and Tier II cities are proposed. Development of additional 15,000 km of gas pipelines using appropriate PPP models has been announced. These are some large projects that will be of significant interest to the security industry. The new government also appears to be positive about GST implementation. It will give a boost to the logistics and distribution sectors in India which in turn would help the security industry in expanding its reach and serving a larger market. In conclusion, this year’s budget has infused a much needed sense of optimism in the Indian economy and the security industry is eagerly looking forward to successful and timely implementation of the projects announced in the budget.

Welcome Move Anil Chaudhry, Country President and Managing Director, Schneider Electric India

“Smart city lies at the heart of the Union Budget of the new government. The allocations and the measures announced now gives shape to the Narendra Modi’s initial idea of 100 smart cities. The Government has made an allocation of Rs 7060 crore - an enabling factor that will boost the planning and development of the smart cities. And to compliment it, the Government has incisively identified 7 corridors. Overall, these are very promising preamble to the realization of the smart city

August 2014

concept. It now needs to be seen how the details are worked out by the Government. The budget has adequately focused on energy, in sync with the new Government’s vision, and announced various measures that will benefit in ensuring sustained growth for the sectors. The reeling power sector will find some respite, if the measures announced in the budget are implemented properly. There are measures accounted to strengthen the entire power value chain. From Rs 100 crore allocation for super critical ultra modern thermal power to the rationalization of coal linkages will facilitate the struggling power producers and put the stranded power plants on a rebound course. The Government’s promise to resolve the existing deadlocks in coal sector and provide fuel to all projects coming up before March 2015 will be a massive thrust to get the flailing sector on course to meet the Government’s 12th Plan target of 88,000 MW. The Budget has adequately focused on the solar energy sector. Rs 500 crore allocation for ultra-modern solar power projects will give the deserving boost to solar companies to increase generation capacity which is currently a mere 1 % of India’s total energy production. Rs 100 crore for the development of 1 MW solar parks on the banks of canals and Rs 400 crore for setting up solar power driven pump sets are some unique measures introduced that will further drive utilization of solar energy and reduce our dependency on conventional energy resources. Implementation of the Green energy Corridor Project will be a great move to integrate channels for evacuation of solar power – a formidable challenge for generating companies at the moment. The removal of customs and excise duties on solar equipment on the other hand will incentivize indigenous companies to increase domestic manufacturing and reduce reliance on import. These are most welcoming moves.”

Positive Move

and collaborate closely with the government to realize the vision of 100 smart cities. Dinesh Malkani, President Sales- India & SAARC, Cisco

We welcome the budget and believe that the reforms announced will lift growth and get the engines of the economy roaring again. The government’s commitment to achieve 7-8% economic growth rate in the next 3-4 years, the focus on 100 new smart cities and technology partnerships between the government and the private sector has brought in a sense of optimism both among the citizens and the industry along with the hope that we can look forward to lower inflation. These initiatives by the government will accelerate country transformation and we believe Cisco can play a central role as an ICT partner in this positive move.

Smart Cities & Digital Program The budget is well aligned with the government’s focus on egovernance with INR 500 crore being allotted for the digital India programme to ensure broadband connectivity at the village level. Cisco’s vision is to be the leading enabler of ICT and broadband acceleration in India through innovative, scalable, high-value technology offerings and solutions .The government’s intent to create 100 smart cities across the country has been strengthened with the proposal of INR 7060 crores for the development of these cities. The smart cities announcement gives Cisco an opportunity to play a deeper role in country transformation and builds on cisco’s worldwide expertise in smart cities including our work in enabling ICT master planning in DMIC, the largest infrastructure project in the world. Cisco’s Smart+Connected Communities initiative, with more than 100 transformational projects worldwide, was launched from India in February 2009. With Smart+Connected Communities headquartered out of Bangalore, we believe there is a huge opportunity for Cisco to share its expertise,

Skills Development Using technology The government’s commitment to employability is clear with the announcement of initiatives such as the Skill India programme and increased creation of educational institutions like IITs and IIMs. These initiatives will ensure that more skilled workers enter the Indian workforce. For an emerging economy like India, which has an abundance of talent and skill, this will translate into an increase in the pace of economic development.

Transforming healthcare & education As the government focuses on infrastructure, we welcome the renewed impetus on the education and the health sector. The deep focus on the creation of better medical institutions (AIIMs) means that more citizens will have better access to quality healthcare and that in turn will help accelerate the country’s social growth. We applaud the government’s Communications Linked Interface for cultivating Knowledge (CLICK) initiative with INR 100 crore funding. We believe CLICK will provide an impetus to virtual classroom initiatives in India today such as Cisco’s CEED (Cisco Education Enabled Development) initiative currently in 13 states in India with more than 900,000 hours of remote training and remote education covering more than 10,000 children and 400 adults.

Overall sentiment In summary, Cisco’s vision to transform the lives of 1.2 billion Indians along with our expertise and leadership in the Internet of Everything, Cloud, Mobility and the Internet of Things is well aligned to the government’s commitment to country transformation. We believe Cisco can partner with the government and industry to play a transformational role and create new solutions, capabilities and offer richer experiences to our citizens, the government and the industry.

that your oven has been flipped off from the morning family breakfast. Your home and family also enjoy an added measure of safety through your ability to control the lights in your home. Not only does this allow you to make sure lights are off when you are gone to save electricity, it also allows you to turn them on at specific times if you would like it to look like you are home. This also helps increase the safety and security of your home.

Secures Home Through Automated Door Locks

ome automation, the next level of automation, is seen in India as a comfort technology. However, home automation products are quickly becoming more accessible and affordable Home automation has for long been the exclusive domain of the ultra-rich. But we are at a stage where anyone can afford to have automated homes, customized according to their needs and budgets. (Ranging from 25,000/- to 3,00,000/-) The concept of automated homes has evolved from pressing buttons to open a door, now it is more about securing your house and being able to remotely observe and control the space. As an add-on, automated homes tend to be much more energy efficient that conventional homes. Smartphones & tablets are also changing the picture, letting home owners take charge of their homes wherever they are. No wonder, a smart home now is also a connected

at our fingertips, our lives are made easier, which is fortunate considering the fast-paced lives most of us lead. In recent years, great strides have been made in making homes a bit more “tech savvy.” This technology, in short, allows the homeowner to run his or her home while away through a remote, often on a Smartphone or iPad. In fact, these homes have been labeled as being “smart,” due to the fact that they can seemingly think on their own. This ability to “think,” also known as being an automated home, helps homeowners in a number of ways. Here is in details, What are the ways in which a home automation system can benefit you?

Adds Safety Through Appliance and Lighting Control Another home automation advantage is added safety for both your family and home. You have the ability to control the small appliances and lighting, again with the simple tap of your finger on your favorite technological device. You can always check to make sure your daughter turned off her iron or ensure

Perhaps one of the greatest benefits of an automated system in your home is automated door locks. How often have you left for work in the morning only to realize that you forgot to lock your front door? Through an automated system, you can lock your doors with the tap of your finger. This quickly eases your mind, so you can focus on your day’s work rather than who may or may not be entering your home. This is also a great benefit for you if you have to leave to work before your children leave for school. Often, children run out the door to catch the bus and forgot to lock the door. You can easily have control of the situation by locking the door from your office each day. The fact that you can be alerted each time someone enters your home also allows you to monitor who is entering your home at all times, even when you are not there.

Increases Awareness Through Security Cameras Unfortunately, we just cannot be everywhere at once. This means that we often miss things that happen, perhaps even in our own home. With a home automation system, you can easily see what is happening. Now you can make sure no unwelcome guests arrive unbeknownst to you or your family. Security cameras increase family safety

Saves Time It is no secret that today’s world is busier than in days past. If you are like most people, you are constantly running from place to place, working to accomplish everything on your neverending “to-do” list. Because of the hightech nature of a home automation system, you never have to worry about running home to open the door for your children after school or making a quick stop at home in order to adjust household items. In short, you easily save precious time and experience more daily productivity.

Saves Money and Increases Convenience As mentioned earlier, a home automation system saves money. The most beneficial impact the system will have is on your monthly utility bill. No longer will you be spending money for household appliances left on in your family’s absence. You will also save on gas costs, as you will never need to stop by the house in order to turn something off or on. This is certainly convenient. You will have complete control to make sure costs are low without exerting any additional effort

Green Energy & Contributes to Economy Simply put, you are contributing to the economy when you purchase and utilize a home automation system. You ensure that you are only using the energy and resources that are necessary while you are home.

Increases Peace of Mind Perhaps this benefit will not apply to everyone, but for those who habitually worry about whether or not they have taken care of everything at home before leaving for the day, a home automation system is a perfect investment. In short,

it offers peace of mind. This is quite beneficial for those individuals who leave each day, obsessively worrying if everything is in order. With so many stresses in daily life, it is nice to take at least one off the list by being able to see what is going on at home without physically being there.

Keeps Tabs On Your Children Through the home automation system, you can easily keep tabs on your children. You can ensure that they make it safely into the house each night, letting them in without getting out of bed to greet them. You can also see their comings and goings on security cameras, as well as make sure the porch is lit when they arrive home. This helps you keep them safe, as well as helps you know what they are up to each day, which can be quite helpful for a busy parent. In sum, investing in a home automation system will benefit you in several ways. It is cost effective. It will save you time and energy. And perhaps the most important? It will keep you and your family safe and your home secure.

simplify home automation technology, and spread installation and programming know-how to DIY (Do It Yourself & System Integrators) The New solutions and products can be installed by electrical contractors also and are also exploring other routes to market in order to reach a wider customer base. This will have a positive impact on the supply chain in the future.” Since the introduction of tablet computers in 2010, the market has changed drastically. For example, home automation user interface (UI) prices have fallen considerably. This means one of the key differentiating factors between the luxury and mass home automation systems has almost disappeared. In the past, intuitive UI were almost exclusive to luxury home automation systems.

Conclusion

“Currently, even the most simple home automation system includes an intuitive UI through an application on a tablet computer, at a fraction of the price of a luxury propitiatory UI, This has helped home automation in appealing to a wider customer base and providing the market with a compelling offering at a relatively low price.”

While the home automation market is seeing a shift in technology and increased demand in Wireless Solutions based on Zigbee and ZWAVE, “While installation of home automation has been of interest almost exclusively to professional home automation specialists, an increasing number of players are now trying to

As mass market participants drastically improve their systems, the gap between the luxury and mass market segments is gradually narrowing. This is also expected to create a mid-range segment where both segments are likely to rally. 69

Video ‘Must Haves’ for Active Surveillance There are many advantages presented by the newest video management systems that improve performance during active surveillance situations and these should be on the “must have” list for anyone putting together a system designed for high-volume use.

n the majority of surveillance situations, the end user is going to be using video forensically or sporadically, checking on situations that have occurred and using video to determine what happened or to help make a case against a perpetrator or tuning in to a specific incident that is under way. But for some security officers, active, live video is the critical element. Casinos are users that are constantly monitoring surveillance cameras as the action unfolds in real time. So too with high-risk assets such as babies in the maternity ward or animals in a drugtesting facility: The more valuable the asset, the more intense the surveillance. Fortunately, IP-based security systems have made many of the processes easier for those in active surveillance situations through the addition of analytics that can alert officers to potential situations; mobile and remote views of what is 70

in progress, security personnel can’t afford to lose track of the person they are tracking.

Where IP-based surveillance has fallen short sometimes is with latency issues for cameras and monitors and network security. When viewing an ongoing incident, it’s critical that the cameras and monitors used have as low a latency issue as possible so those handling the surveillance can make the PTZ camera follow the action. When there is an active shooter or a kidnapping

As companies migrate to IP-based solutions, they are also finding that LED monitors have a higher latency issue than the old CRTs. Unfortunately, CRTs are being phased out, but it’s important to know that there can be latency problems created by the monitors when switching views among PTZs. On the plus side, there are many

advantages presented by the newest video management systems that improve performance during active surveillance situations and these should be on the “must have” list for anyone putting together a system designed for highvolume use. One of these is situational awareness through analytics, or getting alerts when activities out of the ordinary occur, such as someone entering through an exit. In some scenarios, such as a shopping mall, there are plenty of open spaces or doorways that allow people to enter and exit, so deploying analytics for situational awareness may not be possible. In these cases, the IP system can provide another benefit through the use of multi-view, time-synched video. Say, for example, there is an active shooter in the mall. Through the use of time-synched video, security can bring up the various camera views that show the shooting and then help create a timeline to show what happened from there — where the shooter started from, where the event occurred, where he is now, and so on. And this video can also be pushed to officers involved in tracking the shooter so they can see what is happening in real time, rather than relying on audio transmissions to tell them where to go and what to look for. Because video in these instances is so important for forensic purposes, being able to “vault” the video — extract it from the recording — means it is saved for future viewing and you don’t run the risk of recording over it or losing it.

VideoEdge VMS Provides an Enterprise Level Solution VideoEdge VMS provides an end-to-end enterprise level solution with integrated video analytics and inbuilt failover. Using the victor unified client to access live and recorded video from Video Edge state-of-the-art NVR’s increases situational awareness.

India Ready For Unobtrusive Freeways India has grown its road network and is currently the third-largest road network in the world spanning 4.69 million km, next in line only to the US and China. BY PURVESH GADA, CONSULTANT, MAHINDRA SSG

expressways. However, we all would have experienced the bottleneck at the toll plazas. With large number of expressways coming up, it creates a necessity of unobtrusive Automatic Fare Collections (AFC) points at toll plazas, facilitating smooth and unobtrusive flow of traffic of global standards. Indian roads are now geared up to adopt unobtrusive RFID card based automated fare collections.

Technology Purvesh Gada, Consultant, Mahindra SSG

ver the last few years, India has grown its road network and is currently the third-largest road network in the world spanning 4.69 million km, next in line only to the US and China. However, when it comes to the quality of roads, India lags far behind. Expressway projects have been a moderate success, and few new projects are under way. Given the importance of expressways, the Government of India had approved the construction of 1,000 km of expressways under the National Highways Development Project (NHDP) Phase VI. Besides, the ministry came up with a project report to formulate a master plan aiming to construct 15,600 km by 2022, marking the end of the 13th five year plan. Tolls are an inherent part of such 72

August 2014

Presently at the toll points, we either have to stop and pay cash to gain access to expressways or encounter RFID based boom barriers which read tags on the windscreen of the vehicle, before opening the barriers. Either ways, the commuter have to slow down at the toll plazas for fare deposition. These toll plazas create bottlenecks on the expressway. However, with the advent of high speed long range readers, supported by RFID based cards and integrated with Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) systems, it becomes easy to charge commuters without them halting for deposition of payments. Traditionally, toll plazas in India have been designed in a fashion, be it a manual fare collection point or acontrolled automatic one. Lanes are marked with boom barriers and fare collection booths are placed on the lane. To remove this bottleneck, one will have to do away with the barriers and fare collection points. To achieve this, unobtrusive fare collection system consisting of long range high speed

readers will have to be placed on the freeways, allowing the commuters to zip through these lanes without stopping for tolls, as these systems would automatically deduct the fare from the RFID cards placed on the windshield of the vehicles. In case any unauthorized/ invalid vehicle tries to pass through the freeway, its number is noted and penalised accordingly. Initially, couple of freeways will have to be reserved for vehicles equipped with RFID cards. The rest of the vehicles can continue moving in their classical way. However, eventually, all the lanes have the potential to get converted into freeways, without leaving any sorts of bottle necks on the highway. On a high level, the system design of the same would be as given below. The advantages of such a system can be noted as given below: Faster Travel: These systems will enable the commuters to save at least 5-7minutes on every toll plaza. Unobtrusive Movement: Commuters will not feel the control on the expressways; however they would still be controlled at some levels. Interoperable Cards: As these cards would be RFID based smart cards, it would be possible to integrate these cards with other toll plazas too. Multi Applications: As the form factor of these cards can be of a

PDF Compressor Pro

standard credit card type card, they may additionally be used at the food courts on these expressways for paying bills and accruing loyalty points too. Several other similar applications can be derived too. Cost Efective Systems: Although, this system is initially expensive and requires more capital expenditure, however in a long run, it has proven to be cheaper than the traditional fare collection system. This system also poses a lot of challenges before its effective implementation. Undisciplined Drivers: As the freeway would provide unobtrusive access to expressways, there may be constant instances of unauthorized/ invalid vehicles accessing these lanes in the initial phases of implementation. Effective tackling of this nuisance would determine the success of this system. Initially, processes will play a major role in maintaining discipline, before

technology takes over completely. Reactive System: This system does not disallow any unauthorized vehicle entry to the expressway. It only penalises the defaulter. Hence, this leaves little scope in error, as the state can end up penalising a wrong vehicle in case of a minor error at reader and ANPR end. Inconsistent Number Plates: As the number plates are not standardized in India, there may be marginal errors while reading the number plates for fast paced vehicles. This could prove one of the major road blocks while implementing the system. Efects of Environmental Factors: As these readers will be installed in open spaces, they may be affected by external environmental conditions. However, basic canopy will still have to be in place, minimizing the external effects. Prima facie, the challenges may look enormous. However, with the technological improvements by the day,

learning from many international case studies and customized design for Indian environment, these challenges can be effectively tackled. For example, the toll plaza at the Bandra-worli sea link has an innovative design where the RFID tag is read long before approaching the plaza and the barrier is opened by the time the vehicle reaches the barrier point. This gives the commuter a near unobtrusive experience while commuting in that lane.

Conclusion With the growing network of expressways, technological advancements on fare collection side are imperative. Although, Indian conditions pose considerable challenges to the adoption of automation in fare collection domain, we will have to eventually resort to it. Probably, everyone is waiting for the some early mover to experiment and evaluate this system, before investing in such large scale automation. And then, it will be just a matter of time before this system becomes a standard feature of all the toll plazas on expressways.

Manoj Khadkikar, Head, Channel Solutions Group, Zicom

Security First Although fool-proof safety and security is well nigh impossible even in developed countries, in the aftermath of 26/11 /2008, hotels across India have beefed up their security systems to meet any eventuality. Guests see and experience the upgradation of security levels in all areas such as lobbies, restaurants, swimming, pools, banquet halls, business centers etc. Hence todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s guests feel a lot more safe and secure because of the genuine realization on the part of hoteliers to take no chance in ensuring the safety and security of their customers.

Innovations: Many security innovations have been taken particularly by the five star and four star hotels across the country to improve security. They include under vehicle surveillance, baggage checking at the entrance, passport checking, credit card and PAN 74

August 2014

The security requirements for the hospitality sector are a bit different from other industries. In the hospitality arena, security is on several layers like tier one, two, three, four, and five depending upon the needs. Tier one may involve the perimeter, tier two the entrance check points, tier three the lobby etc. So, the hotels should ensure that Admin & Commercial sections are not open to guests and gymnasium and swimming pool are barred for visitors. Every section in a hotel requires security that should appear non-intrusive to customersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; privacy and at the same time provide utmost security to safeguard them and their belongings during their stay. Other measures that can improve the security include designing security programs to increase awareness level among tourists; creating strategies to protect assets, property and personnel; developing partnership with Government agencies to prevent crime; developing and implementing Tourism security plan to ensure safety of people and properties; responding to crisis and disaster and handling disaster tactfully and implementing communication strategies to increase safety awareness among tourists.

New Initiatives Apart from the CCTV cameras and patrolling guards with sniffer dogs, nowadays especially post 26/11/ 2008, hotels are strengthening security cover to all strategic places in and

around the hotel premises. These include, Perimeter Fencing, Boom Barriers, Automatic Bollards, Selective Access Control System, Under Vehicle Surveillance System (UVSS), Baggage X Ray Clearance, Metal Detectors, Alarm System, Biometric and Facial Recognition Systems, People Counters, Intrusion Detectors, Bomb Detection Devices etc. There is seamless flow of data from one system to another not only from security point of view but also from the business perspective. Helpful intrusion is provided as an added service through technological capabilities. Also, security solution providers are offering five star hotels security coupled with home automation. That is automatic solution for lighting, air conditioners, television, windows, curtains, etc which facilitates the customer to enjoy luxury and comfort with ease. We at Zicom are providing many of these security solutions to hospitality industry and the non-occurrence of any major mishap since the installation of our security products is a testimony to the efficacy of our security solution.

Systems & Design Yes, many hotels are designing new systems or redesigning their existing systems to help improve the security environment. Leading hospitality properties are using technology products to differentiate themselves from their competition and thereby increasing their market

share and improving revenue. Hotels are under such pressure to keep up with expectations of guests that they are implementing new technologies to regain their edge. Even smaller hotel brands are turning to technology products to equip their public spaces and guestrooms with the latest electronics. The need to accept innovative technologies to maintain market leadership position is globally recognized in the hospitality industry. Technology investments differentiate hospitality properties, improve the guest experience and create more satisfied customers resulting in increased brand awareness, loyalty and reduced price sensitivity. As a result of changing guest requirements, security demands, and the need to constantly stay ahead, the hospitality companies of all sizes are making innovative technology investments.

Training Hotels across India have begun giving training to their staff on various

aspects of security. They are related to disasters – both man-made and natureinflicted. Man-made disasters include fire fighting, controlling and dousing of looming conflagration for which the hotel staff are demonstrated on how to handle a fire extinguisher and act rapidly to control and contain losses. Other trainings such as combating earthquakes, landslides, evacuation due to threat or emergency are also being provided by hotels. In fact, hotels invite leading security experts to train their staff periodically so that their guests can benefit from these trainings in the event of any eventuality.

Lessons of Mumbai Rand Corporation, a nonprofit research organization providing objective analysis and effective solutions that address the challenges facing the public and private sectors around the world had published ‘ Lessons of Mumbai ’ after the heinous terrorists’ attacks on Mumbai in November 2008. Mumbai. The study

reveals several lacunae in the Indian security system. Intelligence failure, inadequate counterterrorist training and equipment of local police, delays in the response of NSG commandos, flawed hostage-rescue plans, and poor strategic communications and information management all contributed to a less-than-optimal response. These gaps suggest the need for improved counterterrorist coordination between nationallevel and local security agencies and for strengthened counterterrorist capabilities on the part of first responders. Unless India can improve the quality and functioning of its entire internal security apparatus, it will remain acutely vulnerable to further terrorist penetration and attacks. On the brighter side, the corrective measures taken by the hoteliers at the behest of security experts and intelligence bodies have improved security levels in hotels in India.

BUSINESS TALK Optex Pinnacle India has Significantly Increased the Local Presence: Himanshu Kapoor OPTEX PINNACLE INDIA is a joint venture company formed between OPTEX CO. (Manufacturer of sensors in Japan) and PINNACLE SOURCING and CONSULTANCY (Sourcing and market intelligence consulting company in India). BY ANANT JOSHI, a&s INDIA

Himanshu Kapoor, Director, OPIPL

Q Evolution of Security in India? A In India, security guards are currently utilized as the main solution for security needs. As a result, the introduction of electronic security systems has lagged behind the user levels seen in other countries. However, as the Indian economy continues to grow and labor costs rise, projections are for a shift to demand for greater use of electronic security. As a first hand example of this shift, we are experiencing growth in the demand for surveillance cameras, access control and Intrusion systems. It has formed an integral part of security requirements while planning infrastructure projects whether these are sensitive areas like airports, sea ports, borders, energy units or commercial areas like IT Parks, Corporate Buildings and even residential units like group housing complexes, independent homes & so on. With the government showing keen interest in projects like “Safe Cities”, the future looks promising for electronic security industry.

Q How Optex Pinnacle is Competing in the Indian Security Market? A Optex Co., a global leader in sensor

technology, manufactures and markets indoor and outdoor passive and active infrared security sensors throughout the world. The OPTEX Group’s purpose is to contribute to society by creating a secure, safe, and comfortable living environment. To that end, we are keenly aware that we exist as a manufacturer that provides solutions. We look at the various uncertainties and difficulties which companies and people face in industry in everyday life and propose ways to solve these problems through original approaches and proven technological capabilities. We relate the functioning of sensor with the 5 senses of the human being. As it is important for the 5 senses to be configured with the human body in the right way, similarly an Optex sensor will also be effective and efficient only when it is installed in the right way. To take care of this Optex has opened their India subsidiary in Gurgaon, India by the name of Optex Pinnacle India.

a rich experience of entering into new geographies in the last 40 years- the key is to find the right partners. These partners act as extended arms of Optex reaching out to solution providers who then fulfill the need of the customer. On the basis of requirements we are addressing, we have divided all our products into two broad categories, namely High Security products and Commercial range of products. While the latter is pushed through our authorized national distributors and resellers, the former is implemented via system integrators who specialize integrating multiple technologies into one customized solution for the end customer.

India, being an emerging market for PIDS, the focus has been on training and imparting knowledge around sensors implemented in this segment. Optex Pinnacle India, with a Pace setting Management supported by a team of innovative engineers helps realize these action items and provide on the ground support to System Integrators to implement the complex natured PIDS, giving customers the Best-inClass solutions and creating a Win-Win relationship through-out the supply chain.

Q What is Optex Pinnacle’s Latest Product Offering for the India Market? What are the Innovative Security Technologies and Products Optex Pinnacle is Introducing in India? Intrusion Detection A Perimeter System (PIDS) systems from OPTEX group are focused on the Concept of “Levels of Defenses”. This concept is a tried and tested methodology implemented by various armed forces & security consultants around the globe while implementing their strategies to secure various critical facilities. The idea is to create different layers of protection around a facility such that any intruder with an intention to infiltrate the perimeter is caught and its movement tracked on a real time basis using integrated systems of Cameras, IR & Optic Fiber Cable Sensors and VMS under all weather conditions round the clock.

Q What is Optex Distribution Strategy in India? A One of the philosophies that is taken seriously at Optex is to learn about the “Culture of a Country”. With

Using our REDSCAN or SIP sensors, we create the level of defenses starting with an “Early Warning Zone”. This zone focuses on creating a warning zone of 40 to 50 meters before the actual perimeter

wall starts using our long range PIR Sensors. This layer significantly provides critical time to the in house security team to prepare and be ready for action in case of an attempted intrusion. The second layer is the actual perimeter secured by Optic Fiber Cable based sensing system provided by our group company Fiber Sensys. The system detects movements on the wall/fence of the perimeter. The high performance rugged Alarm Processing Unit with an intelligent algorithm is capable of negating false alarms created by various environmental conditions and stray animals-which in India is a major cause of false alarms. The next layer is defined as the area between the perimeter wall and the facility building itself. The layer not only is effective in securing the facility from external intrusion but is also very critical to track internal resources that are up to mischief. This layer implements our advanced range of Active IR products from the REDSCAN family which are able to detect objects as small as packets/ boxes to items as big as cars. Size, customization and real time tracking being key features; drastically reduce the false alarm rates. The IP 65 rating of the device puts it in the category of rugged devices suitable for Outdoor Use even under harsh environmental conditions.

forces in setting up alert systems for base camps in the naxal infested areas which are located deep inside the forests. The devices have been developed with a vision to make it user friendly not just to operate but also to install and maintain in rugged environmental conditions.

Q What Kind of Solution Optex Offers to Private and Government Agencies? A At Optex, the primary focus is to first understand the requirement of the end user. These end users can be categorized over a varied spectrum depending upon their requirements for security. To start with Government agencies, we recommend multiple layers of defense for all the critical infrastructures. This concept finds good favor with the security officers as it traces its origin from war strategy rooms itself. We implement our products on every layer, starting with an early warning zone to the actual building. The Early Warning zone is capable of giving alerts 30 meters to 50 meters before the actual perimeter wall of the infrastructure using our sensors like REDSCAN 3060L, SIP 3020 & SIP 5030. We feel that this early warning zone can be very helpful to the paramilitary

When it comes to private industry, the same concept of security supported by a varied family of products from Optex portfolio, can be seamlessly integrated with existing/new systems of CCTV, Access Control or Video Management Software. During the last couple of years we have received concerns from private players regarding theft of raw materials and scrap from their premises or storage houses. Specially, in remotely located manufacturing units raw material packets or scrap are thrown over the perimeter walls into nearby fields which are later picked up by these intelligent thieves once it becomes dark. The resolution to this menace has been provided using REDSCAN 3060SH which works 24x7 and in all weather Another added advantage of Optex product being its ability to run on DC power supply, can be powered using UPS which can further be recharged by even solar panels making it independent

The second layer of defense i.e. Perimeter/physical boundaries is protected with multiple ranges of solutions like Fiber Sensys- the one already explained and also Active Infrared Technology based Multi Beam Sensors. The priority for this layer is to detect any intruder climbing or jumping over walls, cutting through fence fabric or breaking through perimeter walls. The algorithm for these devices can be configured as per site to increase genuineness of each alert and reduce false alarm rates drastically making the system highly reliable. The third and fourth layers consist of area between Perimeter Wall & facility buildings and the facility building itself respectively. Our SIP series of products and REDSCAN do complete justice in securing these layers. The capability is not only to detect human trespassing with specialized logic to eliminate pets, but also to pick up small packets / boxes if thrown/moved out from the facility without permission.

of the erratic power availability. With a wide range of Outdoor Motion Sensors, we are also able to cater to requirements from residential customers. Optex motion sensors have been specifically developed to be implemented on the outside of a house or a bungalow to secure areas like windows, doors, balconies etc. The products are designed with a pleasing look which gets gelled to all kind of exterior house designs, thereby, maintaining the aesthetics whilst securing the house, giving the resident much needed peace of mind and a sense of security.

What Kind of Growth Optex Pinnacle is Experiencing in India? A The Sales growth of this year is more than 3 times compared to the previous year, however the showcased trend is due to lower base sales of our products in comparison to potential of the market. Establishment of OPTEX PINNACLE INDIA has significantly increased the local presence and this has led our products to be distributed to more people who were looking for practical PIDS solutions. Our major focus in the initial year was to create brand awareness for Optex & Optex products in the India market & we have been fairly successful in creating the same.

What are Optex Pinnacleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Future Plans? A We believe that there is still a big potential for growth when we think about the requirement of PIDS in India although our first mission is to spread the concepts of our systems so that people will know the options they have to solve their perimeter intrusion requirements. Secondly, it will be our endeavor for people using our system, especially for the first time, that they should get immaculate support from the stage of initial installation, successful commissioning and thereafter. With focus on these two missions, we are confident of our business to have prolonged growth, opening up newer avenues in time. We also intend to launch some other innovative products from our portfolio into the India market as it continues to further grow & mature. 77

nalog CCTV users can now enjoy HD resolution while safeguarding their investment in existing cabling infrastructure with Hikvision’s launch of its HDTVI Analog solution. This revolutionary technology supports latency-free 1080p HD over upto 500 metres of coaxial cable, offers seamless compatibility with third party cameras and DVRs, and future proofs users with an upgrade path to IP network cameras. At launch, Hikvision HDTVI product family consists of a 32-strong range of Hikvision DVRs, PTZ dome cameras, 720p and 720p low-light cameras, and 1080p cameras.

Open HDTVI Technology for 3rd Party Device Compatibility All Hikvision HDTVI products adhere to the HDTVI open standard, which guarantees trouble-free connection to other HDTVIcompliant cameras and DVRs. As well as supporting third-party HD and PTZ cameras, the Hikvision HDTVI DVRs also support traditional SD analog cameras. Plus all Hikvision HDTVI cameras can access third party DVRs equipped with HDTVI technology from other manufacturers.

Up-to 500m HD Transmission via Coaxial Cable Hikvision HDTVI technologyguarantees up-to 500 meters of high-quality and reliable transmission at 720P / 1080P via coaxial cable. While conventional analog solution can hardly achieve the resolution, nor the HD-SDI solution in terms of the long distance capability. This makes Hikvision HDTVI a perfect solution to fit all requirements. Rounding out this, the Hikvision HDTVI Analog solution even supports UTC for remote set-up and configuration, and enables control of the OSD menu via coaxial cable. Users no longer have to go to the camera to make changes. This allows for much faster and easier camera installation and management. According to Keen Yao, International Marketing Director of Hikvision, “HDTVI is a hi-tech tour-de-force in zero-latency, longdistance HD-over-coax that demonstrates our commitment to pushing the boundaries of CCTV technology. Until recently, the only option for HD CCTV resolution was the wholesale adoption of IP cameras and their associated technology. Now, with the launch of the Hikvision HDTVI Analog solution, users can enjoy 720p/1080p without even upgrading to IP or even replacing their existing cabling structure.”
