Smart Security Solutions Ensuring Safe Passage of People and Goods The transport systems in India continue to be attractive targets for terrorists seeking to inflict mass casualties, economic damage, instill fear and create spectacular media imagery. Transport systems are inherently vulnerable to terrorist attack, as they are open systems that gather large numbers of people at predictable times in predictable places. Transport security encompasses aviation, air cargo supply chain, maritime (including offshore oil and gas) and mass passenger transport systems such as road, rail, trams and ferries.

Facial Recognition is an advanced technology which comes at a cost for a certain degree of accuracy. In the developing countries like India, therefore, customers’ focus so far had been on other alternative options for biometrics. However, some of the developers have increased the focus on R&D so that accuracy can be achieved even at a cost level which is affordable for all the entities who could be potential users of face recognition – be it Government sector or even retail or hospitality.

Kudos to Jaipur Metro
The Jaipur Metro has resumed operations recently. Jaipur Metro Rail Corporation deserves praise for speedy completion of the project. The 9.63-km elevated section of the metro with nine stations and built on standard guage connects the city’s residential area Mansarovar to business hub in Chandpole. It is touted as one of the fastest-built metros in the country in a record time of nearly four-and-a-halfyears. According to projected estimates, the line will ferry approximately 1.2 lakh passengers daily. The Jaipur Metro Rail Corporation is hoping to get at least 30,000 passengers per day. A total of 10 four-coach trains will be making 131 trips each day between the two terminal stations at a frequency of 10 minutes in peak hours and 15 minutes in off-peak hours.
brigade, including chief fire officer Sunil Nesarikar. The report points to the lack of senior officials in the fire brigade at the time of the fire and notes that of seven deputy chief fire officers, one had been suspended, one was on a long leave, and two were on short leave. Thus, the department had only three deputies and one chief fire officer (interim charge) available at the time the fire broke out. The lack of people manning the hotlines (direct phone lines) between the BMC and fire brigade and the fact that the disaster management unit of the C ward office suffers from lack of manpower were among the other lacunae listed in the report. Besides, it states that the Incident Response System stipulated by the National Disaster Management Authority was not applied at the time of the accident.
The latest issue of a&s India was very informative. The cover story on securing hospitality sector was valuable to the security professionals. In the recent past many hotels were targeted by terror groups. Hotels can be secured with latest security technologies and trained security professionals. Hospitality sector in recent years had experienced multiple unusual crises, risks, and disasters, causing negative impacts not only for the hospitality players, but also for the tourists and the local community. Furthermore, these impacts have continued both temporarily and in the long-term, leaving the industry with a lack of preparedness and emergency plans. I must compliment you for developing security awareness in the hospitality sector.

Lessons from Kalbadevi Fire Tragedy
Importance of Regular Fire Safety Audits
June 2015 www.asindia.in
The lessons from Kalbadevi Fire Tragedy are to be learnt. A report submitted by the committee set up to probe the Kalbadevi fire contains stinging observations against BMC departments and officials. There was no coordination between the fire brigade control room and the disaster management department of the civic body during the fire. The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation is grossly inadequate to handle a Gokul Niwas inferno kind of disaster. These are the observation of the enquiry report of a seven-member committee probing the Kalbadevi fire. The May 9 blaze, which brought down the building, killed four senior officers of city’s fire
18
The pre-disaster checks are always better than post-disaster wisdom. Regular checks should be conducted periodically by civic authorities and fire brigade so that violations can be detected and action taken before a tragedy takes place. Regular fire safety audits of high-rises across Mumbai are a must. Fire safety norms must be strictly enforced. Refuge areas must be treated as sacrosanct, electric ducts cannot be allowed to remain uncovered, and buildings where fire extinguishers and sprinklers don’t work must be heavily penalized as a deterrent.

Carrier Transicold Commemorates 75 Years of Road Transport Refrigeration
ZICOM Annual Results:Reports Growth in Income by 20% and Net Profit By 21%
CP Plus brings in the assurance of omnipresence to security
Manohar Bidaye, Chairman, Zicom Electronic Security Systems
Carrier’s history encompasses more than a century of innovation in air conditioning and refrigeration, and pioneering achievements in truck and trailer refrigeration have been an integral part of this story. Now in our 75th year of providing products for road transport refrigeration, we continue to drive the industry forward with high-performance, environmentally sustainable refrigeration solutions.
“
David Appel, President, Carrier Transicold and Refrigeration Systems
The Carrier Transicold brand was formed in 1970, when Carrier acquired the California-based transport refrigeration equipment maker Transicold Co. and combined it with its Special Products Division, which had experience in trucking applications extending back to 1940. The business was responsible for all types of transport refrigeration, including oceangoing container refrigeration that it had pioneered in 1968.
June 2015 www.asindia.in
Carrier’s first foray into truck refrigeration in 1940 included the application of its model 7K refrigeration compressors in early systems. Although haulers had experimented with mechanical refrigeration since the 1920s, most transport refrigeration methods by 1940 still used ice/salt or dry-ice/gravity flow refrigeration systems. 22
“
The consolidated performance of the Company shows a growth of 20% which is encouraging. The fire security business of the Company in Middle East conducted under the two flagship subsidiaries, Unisafe Dubai and Phoenix Qatar, continued with its improved performance, despite slump in global crude prices. However, the working capital deployment for the projects still remains as a major concern.
Manohar Bidaye, Chairman, Zicom Electronic Security Systems
Highlights of Audited Financial Results for the year ended March 31, 2015 are as under: On Standalone Basis: Total Income for the year ended March 31, 2015 at Rs. 383.52 crores as compared to Rs. 323.06 crores inthe corresponding previous period shows a growth of 19%. Earnings before Depreciation, Interest and Tax (EBDITA) stood at Rs. 38.84 crores as against Rs. 32.56 crores, an increase of 19% over corresponding previous period. Net Profit After Tax at Rs. 11.30 crores as against Rs. 8.15 crores of the corresponding previous period shows a jump of 39%. The Earning Per Share (EPS) has increased to Rs. 6.31 as against Rs. 4.74 in that of corresponding previous period, which is calculated on enhanced paid-up share capital.
CP PLUS, the Global Leader in advanced surveillance and security systems and solutions, and market leader with No. 1 market share in India, has unveiled its latest TV campaign for its line of security and surveillance products, where the communication has gone beyond the usual product narrative and captures a key cultural insight to drive home the brand’s message. The television campaign has been created by Dentsu Marcom and is on air across channels during the ongoing IPL 2015 as well as news channels.
“
As the world around becomes less safe and there is growing concern in individuals and institutions about protection, CP Plus builds on this topical insight about trust and security and marries it with a cultural truth to arrive at this very relevant creative expression of ‘Upar wala sab dekh raha hai’. This expression and messaging goes beyond the rational promise to create an emotional impact that touches the consumer in his personal, cultural and social context.

Abhinav Kaushik, Vice-President, Dentsu Marcom
The need for security and surveillance systems in India has moved from being a need to an urban necessity. The campaign objective for CP Plus was to maximise recall and create reassurance of the brand and its relevance to the consumers as well as key stakeholders. The idea was to leverage the prevalent cultural contextualisation of security in India. Therefore, the approach was to appeal to the consumer in a manner that addressed his emotional need for security, which cued to the brand sign-off – ‘Upar wala sabh dekh raha hai’. The campaign comprises three films, of which two films on ragging and eve teasing have been released in the public domain. The third film based on a maid is slated for release this week

The old school approach to cyber security focused on securing the perimeter, but the data powering business today goes beyond our four walls and must be protected from cyber threats regardless of where it resides. In today’s environment, we must challenge ourselves to embrace the new school of thinking that goes beyond the infrastructure to protect what matters most – the interactions between users, applications and data that when protected, can fuel our businesses and accelerate growth.

June 2015 www.asindia.in
Organizations worldwide spent approximately $77 billion on cyber security in 2014,1 while successful breaches increased 25 percent.2 Adversaries continue to evolve while organizations increasingly adopt new ways of doing business—and the current approach to securing interactions between users, applications and data isn’t keeping up. This calls for a new approach to cyber defense. Building on security fundamentals such as monitoring events and securing the perimeter, organizations must shift their focus to protecting what matters most – the interaction between the users, the applications and the data that carry the sensitive information adversaries target. 26

#SayNotoRoadRage With CP Plus’ UPARWALA SAB DEKH RAHA HAI on Radio Mirchi 98.3 FM
CP PLUS, the Global Leader in advanced surveillance and security systems and solutions, and market leader with No. 1 market share in India, has entered into an association with Radio Mirchi 98.3 FM for the campaign, #SayNoToRoadRage.

HP Leads Industry to New School of Cyber Defense
As part of the campaign, RJ Naved interviewed some people who have become victims of road rage at some time or the other. The main cause of road rage is the uncontrollable anger that people seem to demonstrate when stressed on the road. A slight scratch or a dent on their car has raised people’s temper, provoked filthy language and even led to violence. Unaware of the serious consequences that such acts can bring, people continue to commit them regularly, as they pride the well-being of their swanky vehicles over the well-being of fellow human beings.

F
ire shutters are the unsung heroes of the fire safety because for most of their working lives they just work like any other doors. However, if fire breaks out, a fire shutter must fulfill its role as an engineered safety device, in order to hold back the spread of fire and smoke and to save lives and property. Fire rated doors / shutters are applied in various places such as industrial, commercial, institutional, and retail projects where fire protection is required. We take fire shutters for granted. We need to regularly check that all parts continue to function correctly without compromise.

Latest Technology
Trends in Fire Safety
Research into occupant response has resulted in new technologies and techniques for alerting, informing and guiding occupants in an emergency.
Submitted by Honeywell Fire Safety
F
ire alarm notification has undergone rapid changes over the past decade. With many of the recent advancements in fire alarm and emergency notification, public facilities can now take advantage of new technologies and techniques to provide higher levels of safety to its various occupants. These new approaches are largely driven by research into occupant response to emergency notification. This research has resulted not only in new technologies and techniques for alerting, informing and guiding occupants in an emergency, it has also led to changes and updates in industry standards and codes. As many facilities reassess security and life safety plans in light of recent emergency events, and new fire alarm requirements are more widely adopted on state and local levels, public places will be one of the primary markets for these more advanced notification technologies.
SPEAKERS LEND A VOICE June 2015 www.asindia.in
Nearly everyone can recall a time when a fire alarm horn/chime/bell has sounded and rather than evacuating, people choose to ignore the alarm. This conditioned response to traditional fire alarm notification, mixed with growing research supporting the effectiveness of voice messages, has lead to a steady increase in demand for fire 34
alarm systems with speakers for voice evacuation. A series of tragic incidents have also driven demand for these systems to enable authorized users to send live voice messages (a.k.a. mass notification/ emergency communications) in real time. Most of the facility managers of large public places are beginning to understand the benefits of coupling emergency communications systems (ECSs) with fire alarm systems. Beyond the potential cost savings of utilizing an existing fire alarm system, the robust survivability, 24-hour supervision and regular testing fire alarms must adhere to per code ensure a high level of reliability. Due to budget and installation time constraints, many facilities implement ECS in phases, adding or upgrading speakers first, then pre-recorded voice messaging capabilities, and lastly, adding local operator consoles to allow authorized users to perform live voice paging. Before ECS became popular, the fire alarm industry had a different design focus than acoustic systems designers (i.e. public address and music systems). When the 2010 edition of National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 72: National Fire Alarm and Signaling Code expanded its coverage of emergency communications, which included new intelligibility requirements for fire alarm voice evacuation and ECSs, the industry’s focus on proper system design and intelligibility, or clarity of
message, quickly changed. Proper layout and placement of speakers greatly affects intelligibility, particularly in large spaces with potentially high levels of ambient noise, such as school auditoriums, gymnasiums, cafeterias and other places of assembly. Commercially available software programs can be used to simplify the design of intelligible voice evacuation systems. Sound designers utilize these programs to model the acoustic properties of specific environments and speaker configurations. With proper speaker and space (i.e. room layout) information, these programs can help predict the intelligibility of a voice system before installation. Signal-to-noise ratio is a comparison of the volume or sound level that is being produced by a speaker to the ambient or background noise in a space. Chapter 18 of NFPA 72 calls for the speaker sound output to be an average of 15 decibels (dB) higher than ambient to achieve the needed intelligibility. Any higher than 15 dB over ambient will most likely diminish the level of intelligibility, and it is therefore recommended more speakers be added at lower tap settings as opposed to increasing existing speakers’ sound output. A fire alarm voice evacuation system can now be used to alert people for fire, inclement weather, police incidents as well as paging and intercom. The intelligibility of the new system designs allow for clear messages to be played so that occupants can move quickly to safety.
LOW-FREQUENCY SOUNDERS AWAKEN A series of research studies funded by the Fire Protection Research Foundation concluded that a low frequency tone, around 520 Hz, is more effective at waking sleeping individuals, including those with mild-to-severe hearing loss. Due to these findings, a code change was initiated in the 2010 edition of NFPA 72, requiring new, commercial sleeping areas utilize a low frequency sounder with a 520 Hz (+/10%) square wave. This new requirement is located in Section 18.4.5: Sleeping Area Requirements and has been carried over to
35
the current 2013 edition of this code. The research study, Waking effectiveness of alarms (auditory, visual and tactile) for adults who are hard of hearing, was included in the Optimizing Fire Alarm Notification for High Risk Groups research project published in June 2007. The researchers tested numerous auditory signals and alternative alarms to determine which were most successful at waking and alerting individuals with partial hearing loss. The lower pitched tone was found to be much more effective than the higher pitched tone, typically 3100 Hz, commonly used in residential smoke alarms. Audible emergency evacuation signals set at a 520 Hz square wave tone awakened 92% of the hard-of-hearing test participants when used at or below the code-minimum sound level of 75 decibels for 30 seconds. The success rate was 100% at 95 decibels. One study found that only 57% of individuals that are hard-of-hearing awoke to a 3100 Hz signal at less than 75 decibels.
DIRECTIONAL SOUNDERS LEAD THE WAY Oftentimes, the occupants within a public facility may not be familiar with the building and its associated emergency egress routes. The traditional maps and signage required by codes provide occupants a visible means for locating or finding a path to safety. Occupants, however, may not have had an opportunity to study and understand such a diagram or cannot visualize an actual escape route as depicted on such a diagram. Many times, the illuminated front of exit signs compete with nearby bright lights or other visually distracting elements. Persons with visual disabilities will have more difficulty with emergency information that relies on visual cues. Of course, at the time of a fire, smoke will many times obscure exit signs and the location of exit doors. All of these factors, combined with an individual’s tendency
to attempt to leave a building by the same route he or she entered, can lengthen evacuation times in an emergency. Directional sounders offer an audible means of identifying exits and egress routes, helping to overcome the limitations of current exit signage and alarm signals. Utilizing a broadband acoustic characteristic that is distinctive from the audible sounds of bells, horns, or voice speakers, directional sounders do not conflict with traditional audible alarm signals; however, they are not a substitute for these traditional notification devices. Directional sound devices are intended to operate with traditional fire alarm notification devices and to be wired as part of the fire alarm system notification circuits. The psychoacoustic response to directional sounders has been shown in numerous exercises and research studies to lessen the time required for evacuation (in some cases by as much as 75%) and to effectively assist occupants searching for egress routes and exits.
June 2015
A question often asked about directional sounders is how building occupants will know how to react when they hear the sound. Although the sound is intuitive to many people, an enhancement made to directional sound technology is the addition of voice messaging. In between four second bursts of directional sound, an alert message in the form of a recorded voice message can be used. The purpose of the voice message is to instruct the occupants of what action to take as they approach the directional sounder. The messages will instruct occupants that they are approaching stairs going up, stairs going down, an area of refuge, or the exit.

{
The transport systems in India continue to be attractive targets for terrorists seeking to inflict mass casualties, economic damage, instill fear and create spectacular media imagery. Transport systems are inherently vulnerable to terrorist attack, as they are open systems that gather large numbers of people at predictable times in predictable places. Transport security encompasses aviation, air cargo supply chain, maritime (including offshore oil and gas) and mass passenger transport systems such as road, rail, trams and ferries. Transport security is a common usage term which belies the complexity of roles, responsibilities and relationships in the aviation, air cargo supply chain, maritime and mass transit sectors. a&s India explores the latest developments in the transport security segment.
I
ndia’s vast and diversified 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 sector’s security risks are evident by attacks in the past. These attacks are a sobering reminder that the transportation system remains an attractive target for terrorists and anti-social elements. Natural calamities, inclement weather conditions like snowfall, landslide, and other disasters (natural and industrial) also highlight the risk to the sector that is not directly related to terrorism. However, the video surveillance technology has evolved rapidly in recent years and provided solutions for every sector specific needs. For transport sector, solutions includes portable and compact devices like intelligent devices, shock and heat resistant high-resolution cameras, MDVRs, GPS, CMS, alarm integration, etc. are constantly evolving. The sector has yet to fully wake up to evaluate its security needs.
CURRENT SCENARIO According to Atulya Chandra, General Manager Honeywell Security Asia Pacific, “Security in the transportation vertical is ever evolving and can be classified as per the mode of transport.” • In Airports the security is aggressively modernizing with most airports being renovated to handle high traffic and made more secure for the travelers. They have pre-defined budgets allotted to security and go for latest solution features like HD technology, Integrating with Video analytics , face recognition and systems like ANPR systems • In Metro rail projects, security is an integral part since the inception of the project. These kind of project go for IP HD technology with redundancy. • In Indian Railways the current security state is a Mix of Analog and IP solutions and CCTV coverage and security modernization is underway in a big way. • For Buses/ Vans / Cars security its mobile DVR technology which is currently being adopted at many cities and is gaining popularity. According to Ashish P. Dhakan, CEO and MD, Prama Hikvision, “Despite ongoing improvements in the sector, several aspects of the transport sector are still riddled with problems due to outdated infrastructure and lack of investment in less economically active parts of the country. The demand for transport infrastructure and services has been rising by around 10% a year with the current infrastructure being unable to meet these growing demands. Transport security needs to be given priority by the private and government sector. Latest initiative to put CCTV cameras in Ladies coaches of Mumbai Local trains is one good example of transport security initiatives.” 39

“According to a McKinsey reporttransport and affordable housing are the two most capital intensive sectors in India. By, 2030, 7400 KM of metros and subways need to be constructed which is 20 times the capacity added in the past decade. The current ministry has speeded up the rate of construction of road projects and roads were being laid every day. It has now speeded up to 12 km a day. Along with these, increasing and affordable 3G network, availability of stable, portable, weather and vibration resistant IR, and HD devices are proving a major driver to the growth of this sector,” said Aditya Khemka, CEO & Director, Aditya Infotech. According to Prakash Prabhu, General Manager, Pelco by Schneider Electric, “Public transport is an integral part of any city. Security measures and deployments would differ based, on the type of transportation. Surveillance can be a big Deterrent in reducing incidence rates and are absolutely necessary for faster investigation of incidents. Deploying proactive surveillance helps in reducing crime and provides a safe and secure environment for the utility providers and the general public.” He further added, “Currently, there is a large GAP between expectations and actual deployments of security measures in Public transport and its associated facilities.”

transport systems are among the most heavily used in the world. The present scenario gives a clearer picture that the sector is experiencing a complex range of challenges like the number of deaths caused by traffic is amongst the highest in the world and is still continuing to rise. The automobile industry in India is rapidly growing with a lot of innovations and development of new vehicles. Despite ongoing improvements in the sector, several aspects of the transport sector are trapped with problems due to outdated infrastructure and lack of investment in less economically active parts of the country. So, it is very important to bring in security solutions for the easy functioning and reducing the risk factor associated with the sector.” He further added, “A secure transportation system is critical to the overall national security from terrorism which poses one of the most petrifying threats to the sector. The groups or individuals motivated to terrorize or injure people or the economy may well have transportation facilities as a target or a tool. Thus, creating a need for systems that can be scaled to meet requirements, safety of passengers and the protection of freight are paramount.” According to Khwaja Saifuddin, Senior Director - South Asia, Middle East and Africa, WD, “There has been rapid development of air, rail and road transport in India and therefore it becomes very important to make it safe and secure at the same pace. While there have been recent announcements of the city surveillance, railway surveillance, bus surveillance projects, many of these announcements are yet to see the implementation on the ground. The day we see at least palpable decline in the number of crimes and accidents due to technical snags and loopholes in our transport security measures, it will be safer to say that the transport is safe.” “According to reports, India is expected to be the world’s third largest aviation market with projected investments to the tune of US$ 120 billion by 2020. With around 12,000 trains carrying over 23 million passengers per day and more than 7,000 freight trains carrying about 3 million tons of freight every day, the Indian railways is attributed to be one of the few railway systems in the world generating an operating surplus. Likewise, India has one of the largest road networks in the world and a rapid development of highways and expressways have increased road transport’s contribution to transportation of goods and people. These advancements have led to an increase in the need for enhanced security protocols,” said Khwaja Saifuddin. According to Saurav Banerjee, Regional Sales Manager, Asia Pacific, Identiv, “In general the awareness of security is increasing in India. We are spending roughly 10% of our GDP in Infra and we
need to protect the investment and so Government and private partners are spending to secure them.”

He further elaborated, “Transport security is still in preliminary stage in India. There is a big opportunity for companies to grow in this sector and develop solutions to make transportation more safe and secure. In recent days we have seen government and transport agencies paying importance.” According to Santosh Pillai, Director and CTO, 2020 Imaging, “As far as the Airports and Metros are concerned, the security systems are comparatively advanced, however there is a vast network of road, rail and water transport that is mostly uncovered when it comes to security.” He further added, “Simple mechanisms like DFMDs and Baggage Scanners though have been installed in some Railway stations and Bus stands, this is certainly not fool proof, given the multiple entry points in these facilities. As such, transport sector continues to be one of the most vulnerable targets for security threats in India.” According to Giri Ramamoorthy, Director -Sales & Business Development, Pacom, ”The transportation sectors today bear a huge responsibility for safety of passengers, equipment, goods and staff located at various locations either in an airport, mass transit system or on a ferry.”

He further added, “With an increased number of incidents that are detrimental to the transportation sector an open, integrated security solution with intelligent reporting tools and ease of use has become mandatory in order to comply with challenges.” According to Ramesh Iyer, CEO, Vice Chairman, TopsGrup, “As one of the fastest economies in the world, India like any developing country, is facing the transportation problems on all the major fronts, inclusive of maritime, aviation and road and rails. It has somewhat improved in the last years, nonetheless, some of the main issues still persist, such as poor management and lack of a strong agenda. They should be taken into consideration to change and improve the current status. Additionally, it is pivotal to also focus on securitizing the rural areas to ensure extended security coverage on both urban and rural transportation systems.”

has huge potential in terms of the sheer demand for the latest products and solutions. There is a serious effort from the government and the concerned agencies to increase awareness and efforts to strengthen public safety and security,” suggested Atulya Chandra. He further added, “Some of the challenges are the availability of right bandwidth for video transmission, availability of sufficient budgets along with timely approval and lastly, lower awareness on what technology to buy among the end customer.”
OPPORTUNITIES AND CHALLENGES “Some of the opportunities that can be of importance are that it’s a low penetrated vertical and

According to Nitin Goyal, “President and CEO at Tamron India, “Transportation plays a very vital role in India as it helps in rapid industrialization & urbanization and removes the scarcity of goods. Public transport still remains the primary mode of transport. Most of the people are dependent on Roadways and Railways for their day to day moments.”

hand in hand. Central government and various state governments have started deploying video surveillance in railways, buses, terminals, ports, roads, etc. For highways security, the administrations have implemented solutions, which have effectively mitigated the number of accidents caused by high speeds and rash driving. The video coverage has been vital in the court to punish the offenders,” observed Aditya Khemka, CEO and Director, Aditya Infotech.
According to Prakash Prabhu, General Manager-India, Pelco by Schneider electric, “Within cities we have mass transit systems like Railways, Metro and Road transport. Typical deployments would be onboard cameras and mobile recorders to record and provide evidence of any incidents. Associated facilities like Stations / Terminals and depots would need deployments of outdoor vandal proof systems. These should be ready to accept and synchronize the mobile recordings too.” He further added, “Intelligent traffic monitoring, for managing traffic flows, intelligent signaling helps to decongest traffic, reduce rate of accidents, prevent violation of traffic rules and gives real time information for responders in times of emergencies. This should always be a part of any Smart city wide surveillance deployments.”

onboard vandal proof surveillance. More as a deterrent and a evidence grabber.Associated areas like stations would need stringent monitoring due to high footfalls and associated risks involved. – Vandal proof, low light high performance solutions are best suited here. Highway monitoring and Security – Automated Toll monitoring, real time feed to responders. – Outdoor ready , Low light Fixed and long range PTZ cameras are suitable here. “Seaports today are mainly used for goods carriage, but the vast open areas provide a challenge in terms of theft, pilferage, business and commerce continuity and national security. The ROI is always very strong in such deployments. High performance under low light conditions, outdoor ready PTZ and Fixed cameras capable of withstanding hostile environments, high wind speeds are most suitable here. Thermal imagers are most effective in perimeter deployments under such conditions,” said Prakash Prabhu. “The transport operators in all the sectors are looking for intelligent transportation solutions that enable the secure movement of people and products. In Transportation, the size of the industry leads to challenges in both the range of vulnerabilities and the volume of passengers and freight to be protected and the ability to create co-ordinate responses to incidents is becoming increasingly critical. India’s transport sector is large and diverse; it caters to the needs of 1.1 billion people,”

Hikvision has introduced Portable Mobile Enforcement for vehicles. This is comprised of PTZ Camera which is installed on the roof of vehicle, to cover 360 Degree angle of road and to cover huge range of distance. Inside the vehicle Enforcement KIT is placed which comprises of tracking of vehicle, recording of vehicle and transmission of live streaming of data also.It is done through the unique HDSDI Technology giving megapixel output.The Enforcement Kit also comprises of PTZ Controller etc.

He further added, “The main challenge comes when transport owners spend liberally on other things and don’t go for good security and surveillance. At many points, these do not even function and whenever they are resorted to coverage, they hardly yield anything. Security is the basis requirement and an integral part of our lives, which cannot be ignored. Now, security is not an exclusive domain of elites, it’s very much in outreach of common people.”
Ashish P. Dhakan, CEO and MD, Prama Hikvision
said Prasenjeet Bhattacharya. He further added, “The major security challenges in this vertical are faced due to unorganized infrastructure development and lack of proper security arrangements. As transportation is critical to the mobility of all people, including individuals who inflict terror and jeopardize security, transportation
operating and regulatory agencies have opportunities and responsibilities to oversee various aspects of person movement and licensure. Thus, the security solutions should preferably focus on offering operational efficiency and situational awareness, while reducing risk so that traffic delays are limited, vehicle capacities are increased and public transport is made safer.”
He further added, ”For instance, an increase in the number of CCTV camera installations that work round the clock has led to an explosive growth in the generation of data. This data is sensitive and must be stored appropriately so that it is available in case of emergencies. Hence, it is important to utilize hard drives that provide capacity to store large amounts of high-definition video footage, reliability to work in a 24/7 environment and superior performance to avoid video lags and pixilation during playback. WD offers drives like WD Purple, WD Purple NV, WD Se and WD Re that cater to the surveillance requirements of the transport segment depending on the size of the establishment.”

He further added, “Picking up a right solution with latest technology for the various transport facilities and doing right kind of budgeting is the challenge.” 44
“ITS (Intelligent Traffic Systems) technologies have a big potential in making road transportation more secure. 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, informed Nitin Goyal. Some of the primary advantages of using ITS technologies are as follows: Traffic Signal Control Usage: Manage traffic speeds, Vehicle merging and corridor crossings. Technology: Updated traffic signal control equipment used in conjunction with signal timing and adaptive signal sensors. Automated Speed Enforcement Usage: Photographs of Vehicles and/or drivers taken at the time of the violation along with data from the radar device. Technology: Speed Detecting Radar, Light detection and Ranging (LIDAR) units with Image Capturing Technologies.
“
Incident Management
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.
Aditya Khemka, CEO & Director, Aditya Infotech

“An increase in freight and the number of passengers warrants an increase in surveillance measures. A well-guarded transport sector instills confidence in the citizens and the economy. However, there exist vast stretches of roads and highways, railway zones and airports that are not yet monitored. The presence of nonfunctioning surveillance and monitoring equipment is another reality that we must face. It is important to ensure that all security devices are properly serviced and repaired regularly. At the same time, it is also important to deploy equipment that is best suited to the needs of the set-up,” informed Khwaja Saifuddin.
Usage: Addresses three key areas: Traffic Surveillance, Clearance and traveler information. Technology: Video Image Processing System Electronic Toll Collection: Usage: Electronic payment of Highway and bridge tolls as vehicles passes through a toll station. Technology: Vehicles-to-roadside communication technologies include roadside antennas and pocket-sized tags containing radio transponders. “Any facility or infrastructure that has multiple entry points is naturally prone to security threats. Especially in a densely populated country like India, such threats become even more pronounced. Lack of technology adoption only magnifies this challenge. Surveillance with video analytics is certainly an opportunity to help transport sector improve its security. Restricting the access points and having them manned is another possibility. On top of all these, a tightly interconnected security agency is a must in any kind of large security deployments such as transport. Unless these opportunities are tapped in today, we may have to wake up to another 26/11 in the future,” observed Santosh Pillai.

He further added, “Security incidents and accidents across the globe continue to happen in the industry. For example, the aviation world has witnessed numerous perimeter security breaches over the past years, prompting calls for more robust defenses around the extended perimeter of airports. Also, the maritime sector witnessed a decrease in acts of piracy on the high seas but nevertheless still recorded a worrying number of ship hijackings and boarding’s as well as crew hostage taking and killing. The supply chain continued to be bedeviled by high value cargo theft with 46

“Transportation security brings more opportunities to the regions which are congested and thanks to its large population, India is the right recipient of security solutions to secure the transport sector. Moreover, the development of new roads can accrue PPP projects and allow private security companies to work closely to meet the needs of these,” suggested Ramesh Iyer.
Thermal imaging is now available for commercial deployment. It is ideal for perimeter monitoring and areas of restricted visibility, due to Environmental conditions and foliage. Thermal imagery can provide long range detection of intruders and obstacles. Multi Imager cameras help to monitor specific areas of interest and provide for a perspective view of the field of view.

the number of incidents rising significantly.” “Another great challenge is the economic climate and being able to make the investment in solid infrastructure. The Government’s need systems that are reliable, resilient, scalable and flexible for the future – and that requires a certain level of investment,” concluded Ramesh Iyer.
PRESENT THREATS “Some of the existing and emerging security threats are Video loss, data not getting transmitted from buses / mode of transport to central monitoring station. The varied operating temperatures as well as vandalism are some of the ever existing threats,” said Atulya chandra. “The existing threats include behavioral issues, which turn minor altercation into big and deadly fights, drunken driving, road rage, lack of deterrence and evidence in cases of casualties, high and uncontrollable speeds, naxal attacks, incited mob reaction, etc. With the emerging of new highways and expressway, young people are resorting to activities like race, high speed and stunts which have large potential to be turned into major accidents,” informed Aditya Khemka. “The threat perception differs based on the type of transportation considered. In areas of high foot falls, public security takes precedence. Reduction of Vandalism, Theft, and Pilferage can be achieved,” said Prakash Prabhu. He further added, “Intelligent analytics can be deployed in critical access areas for crowding / track suspicious behavior, adaptive motion detection and auto tracker, abandoned object detection etc.” “With the growing economic uncertainty and complexities plaguing the country, it has never

According to Prasenjeet Bhattacharya, “The risk factor can be better explained with an equation.” Security Risk = Probability of Incident Attempt ×Vulnerability× Damage
He further added, “Each of these terms suggests something about the nature of security risks to the transportation sector and the potential consequences of ongoing security concerns. The major threats on security could be terrorist attack. In order to disrupt the economy, terrorists may target the transportation facility. Thus, disruption to critical links in the transportation system provides an opportunity to cause serious economic harm.”
June 2015
“The past year saw the introduction of new airlines, trains and highways in India. This expansion has increased the need for surveillance and security measures. While thefts, terrorist activities and other anti-social activities remain a big concern for the authorities, an increase in transport traffic has increased the need for accident prevention and control, and traffic management as well. It is important to implement measures to safeguard the existing and new infrastructure, passengers and goods from such threats,” informed Khwaja Saifuddin.

been more challenging for India from an internal security perspective. The new dimensions of the threats India faces require very agile security governance,” observed Prasenjit Bhattacharya.
“The presence of hundreds of commuters at bus terminals, train stations has exposed several times the lack of security. Also, the securitization of transportation systems must be standardized and made to work in tandem with the local police system to ensure that effective and efficient security systems can prevent incidents or possible terrorist attacks,” observed Ramesh Iyer.

According to Atulya Chandra, “Many new technology and solutions are being developed as well as well adopted by transportation vertical.” These include: • High definition technology for recording and transmission • Panoramic views for wider coverage • Analytics like people counting, vehicle counting, automatic number plate recognition. • Audio capture and Mobile access “Hikvision has HD IP Mobile Surveillance Solution to cater to the needs of India’s vast and diverse transport sector. This solution is specifically designed for all movable vehicles. The products under this solution have got special components to adjust itself to vehicle environment. The idea of Mobile Surveillance is to track and monitor remotely through live video feeds coming in the command center. It helps the administration to have a glance of vehicle moving at particular speed and track it,” said Ashish P. Dhakan.

“Onboard video analytics applied across a wide field of view help in faster 50
and cost effective deployments. This also helps operators to focus quickly on events and areas of interest and alert responders intuitively,” observed Prakash Prabhu. He further added, “Analytic behaviors include Abandoned Object, Adaptive Motion Detection, Camera Sabotage, Directional Motion, Loitering Detection, Object Counting, Object Removal, and Stopped Vehicle. “ “An ever-increasing requirement for effective security systems across transportation networks is developing. There are a couple of new solutions to counter the existing problems. With public security threats being all-time high, security cameras on buses and subways can help protect innocent citizens from terrorist attacks and help maintain a safe and secure transportation environment,” opined Prasenjeet Bhattacharya. He further added, “Video surveillance is a great security solution for transportation security. This includes involvement in securing borders, licensing vehicle operators, licensing vehicles, and enforcing various other laws regulating the safe use of vehicles and the transportation system.” “Despite all the controversies and nationwide debates, one of the key trends we see these days is the growing acceptance of cab aggregator services. These services are surpassing the ambit of the taxi space and are being extended to other modes of transportation as
well. While they supposedly assure an easy and convenient way to ensure cab services at the most unearthly hours, the safety and security of these services still remains questionable,” said Khwaja Saifuddin. He further added, “Despite many protests and propagandas, not much has been done so far to guarantee a safe ride to the customers of these cabs. While it may increase the cost of travel a wee bit, but it is important to equip these cabs with surveillance devices so that the activities and movement of both the drivers and the customers can be tracked to mitigate any untoward incidents or identify them. Similarly, many cab providers have started women-only cab services where they summon women drivers to drive around women. It is equally important to provide safety to these women drivers to encourage more women to join the workforce.” “As a Access and Identity Management expert, I see the new trends are highly interoperable readers with dedicated Ethernet ports, PoE based reader cum controllers to help faster installation and speed up the completion of large projects,” informed Saurav Banerjee. “Airports in India are starting to adopt the IP technology. In fact, 2020 Imaging is in talks with a few airports across India to deploy cutting-edge surveillance solution with video analytics and mobile integration. Airports are even starting
to adopt technologies that identify fake boarding passes. Toll companies are wanting to use surveillance not only for physical threats but also for business threats. Again, 2020 Imaging has been fortunate to be discussing with a few road infrastructure companies about centrally monitoring their toll booths across the country,” informed Santosh Pillai. He further added, “In fact, we are also talking to one of the State Governments for central monitoring of all toll booths across the state. There are port companies that want to secure their shores through an integration of cameras, radar and satellite. Governments are evaluating rolling out safety apps for citizens on their mobile. Such kinds of initiatives will certainly go a long way in establishing security in the transport sector.” According to Giri Ramamoorthy, ”Pacom Systems, is a global leader in providing integrated security management solutions in the area of multi-site solutions and campus style environments. Pacom 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.”

PPP MODEL
“With the huge investments required for up gradation and Greenfield transportation projects, PPP would assist in better project management. With cost escalation being the major concern in such projects, much needed professionalism is in order,” said Prakash Prabhu. He further added, “PPP model also needs commercial and financial viability of such project. This investment has to be protected and can open doors for deployment of quality security infrastructure for security / business continuity and operational efficiencies. There is a real ROI here for intelligent security.”

“The expression public-private partnership is a widely used concept world over and in simple terms it is referred to a joint venture in which a government service or private business venture is funded and operated through a partnership of government and private sector companies. In the phase of fiscal and other constraints, PPP model should widely accepted as it can strengthen the emerging economies where the government is expected to turn towards

the private sector as a means of financing infrastructure development and secure the existing transport sector. It is believed that the success of PPP projects requires a single objective of better services for the public at a reasonable cost. This is achievable through realistic and reasonable risk transfer while addressing the public concerns,” observed Prasenjeet Bhattacharya. He further added, “The Indian PPP model should adhere to such objectives and best practices to march forward on the success path. In this pursuit, easy availability of long-term private capital is an essential requirement. International experience suggests that the success of PPP projects requires a single objective of better services for the public at a reasonable cost. This is achievable through realistic and reasonable risk management while addressing the delicate public and their concerns. The Indian PPP model can actually reinforce the security by adhering to such objectives and best practices to march forward on the success path.” “Public Private Partnership is good for the development and improvement of infrastructure. It is faster. The success of the model can be best seen in the development of air transport in India. The model was implemented to develop the airports in Mumbai, Delhi, Bengaluru and Hyderabad, and has been successful in improving passenger and cargo facilities,” informed Khwaja Saifuddin. “India needs huge investment (approx. 25000 Billion INR by 2017) in transport which is subset of infra sector. And we are using PPP model to fund the projects and to safe guard that we are also investing heavily in security. Also private companies are open to new technologies and are better equipped to implement the same with adequate funding from government,” suggested Saurav Banerjee. “State-of-the-art security solutions will not only be expensive but will also require expertise. They cannot be sunk down in the processes of a pure Government procurement. Pretty much like how the PPP model has revolutionized the transport sector in the country, it has to reform the security scenario too,” said Santosh Pillai. He further added, “There are companies
for such incidences. The government and authorities can improve road Conditions, provide easy and free access to information, sending time alerts, and trap the potential offenders,” suggested Aditya Khemka. “High quality deployments, Vendor selection with a primary focus on long term alignments, Tax and Insurance rebates on security investments. This will incentivize investments in security infrastructure on these projects,” opined Prakash Prabhu.
that offer Security as a Service. There are companies that have technologies to aggregate video-integrated data from multiple locations. A strong political will from the Government along with a strong financial will from Businesses will certainly help bolster security in the transport sector.” “Due to India’s rapid rate of urbanisation there is an ever increasing necessity for private sector security companies to play their part in working alongside both state governments and eventually central government too, to develop, deploy and effectively manage a comprehensive and fully integrated security system,” suggested Ramesh Iyer.
NEW INITIATIVES “Some initiatives required to increase use of security technology for public safety would include guidelines for usage in school buses, public vehicles, trains, stations. Electronic security should be made as a mandatory regulation in order to improve the current state,” suggested Atulya Chandra. “The new initiatives should focus on passengers safety, speed control, mitigation of road rage and sane driving by reducing (if not rooting out) the controllable parameters responsible
“The Transport sector witnesses the largest movement of people currently due to which security has to be the best in the industry. For instance, we have face matching solutions available for such an environment that can analyse large number of faces in less time. The government will make it a norm to equip the key areas to have top class security,” said Prasenjeet Bhattacharya. He further added, “It is an irony that while an airport will be commissioned with CCTV, a new bus stand may not. Even the top key bus and railway stations are not equipped with security. Also, the bus/train coaches are expected to be equipped with GPS tracking and communication system for any on road alerts.” “There should be a agency or regulator which will take a holistic view of the transport sector can create and maintain a standard. So that either everybody is following the same standing and have higher interoperability amongst themselves. This will augment the data exchange and increase the security level,” suggested Saurav Banerjee. “As you already know that Tamron specializes into lenses for video surveillance cameras so our R & D is continuously working on designing of new lenses which can give better results for traffic surveillance. We are launching 3 MP, P-iris, 8-50 mm, IR Corrected lens which will give better depth of field in comparison to normal DC auto iris lenses. By using this lens only one camera will be sufficient to see the number plate of the vehicle as well the face of the driver,” suggested Nitin Goyal. He further added, “Tamron has also developed a series of motorized zoom lenses which can be used in aviation sector to identify an object at a distance 53
of 1 KM from the camera. The newly launched motorized zoom lens has a focal length of 10-360 mm with 2 MP Resolution. Additional features of IR Correction and Defog in the lens help to give better images even in night conditions.”
APPLICATION CASE According to Aditya Khemka, “Considering the security challenges in transport, security experts at CP PLUS TeknoLogix Lab developed the Mobile Surveillance Solution for public transportation to deter crimes and identify security threats, aiming to create safe environment for the passengers.” He further added, “CP PLUS deployed its mobile surveillance solution at the buses of Pondicherry Road Transport Corporation (PRTC). The solution consists of 4 channel Mobile Digital Video Recorder (MDVR) integrated control panel unit along with 4 nos of ultrapowerful IR cameras.” “Located at the driver’s cabin, MDVR withstands severe shock and vibration conditions with its special antivibration design and provides a reliable recording performance. Featuring 4.5 inches monitor in the unit, driver can view live images of the inside vehicle while driving. The control unit also has intercom by which vehicle and control room can communicate anytime. In the emergency situation, the in-built alarm can send alert to the control room for any immediate help,” informed Aditya Khemka.
June 2015
He further added, “The control room has been set up at the PRTC depot where a system administrator has been trained for operating the Central Management System software (CMS). At the control room, the system administrator can view the real-time recording via CMS. The GPS feature in this solution helps in tracking vehicle route, observing when the bus was at a particular pick up point and location verification on Google Virtual Map. In addition, the Bus’s location, temperature, speed, alarm information can be stored on the hard disk and able to be playback by software. Through 3G network connection, this footage can be transmitted back to the Control room for a live-tracking.”

“The solution consist 4 nos. of IR 54
cameras which are vandal-resistant delivering clear, crisp images under virtually any lighting conditions. The cameras have been installed in the PRTC buses, aiming to capture every aspect and to monitor behavior of driver, passengers and conductor. The entire solution has been designed and implemented in a way to fulfill requirement of complete security and safety of the commuters in a public transport,” concluded Aditya Khemka. “Transport security is a part of PELCO’s critical infrastructure solution and we have delivered solutions to the most demanding requirements. PELCO best of breed solutions, overcome the challenges of fast changing technology, compliance regulations and provides a simplified approach to the requirements,” suggested Prakash Prabhu. He further added, “Our solution for this segment consists of the latest Range of Spectra and Sarix Enhanced cameras with Surevision 2.0 for exceptionally quality in low light conditions and onboard analytic’s.” “The Optera range of our Multi imager series available for 180 / 270 and 360 degrees viewing, is one of its kind in the industry for an exceptional Panomersive experience. Customer will prefer the VideoXpert software solution from PELCO to get the best
experience from the latest technology. Being collaborative and Open, VX will blend in to multi vendor solutions too,” concluded Prakash Prabhu. He further added, “Dubai Metro Solution includes PELCO Cameras, Fortified housings and PELCO fiber solutions. This project involves monitoring 49 stations and 3 car parks from 2 control rooms.” “Most cases have been unfortunate accidents that have demonstrated that the Indian government needs to give security a greater preference. Especially when women safety is a talk point in almost every household. In December last year, a 27-year-old woman was raped by an Uber cab driver in Delhi. In the same month, a Taliban attack on an army-run school in Peshawar in Pakistan left 132 children and nine school staff dead. On 26 November 2008, Mumbai saw a terrorist attack that killed at least 160 people. All these incidents show how tragedy can strike anywhere and an efficient security plan must be in place,” observed Ramesh Iyer.

In India private and public transportation is vulnerable to accidents, threats and attacks. Governments around the world are investing more in transportation safety, which in turn increases demand for mobile surveillance solutions. According to research, the mobile video surveillance market will be US$1.55 billion by 2015, at a CAGR of 13.7 percent over 2008 to 2015. The potential lies in not only tightened security for drivers and passengers, but also huge gains in operational efficiency for fleet managers. ONBOARD MONITORING MARKET
June 2015
“This is a new market segment in security category, which is gradually evolving over the period of two year. This segment promises mobile surveillance which can secure everything from human, precious items while in transport, raw materials etc. There is an increasing awareness among people about the requirement of a safe movement,” said Yogesh B. Dutta, COO, Aditya Infotech.

“Transportation is part of nearly 56
everybody’s daily life; people use vehicles for work and leisure travel, schools dispatch buses to pick up students and send them home, logistics companies use vehicles to deliver goods. We can say the very fabric of society - people and assets - are being transported from one place to another every minute of every day Securing them is obviously extremely important. A mobile DVR has one of its prime roles in helping to secure such situations, protecting people flow and assets and ensuring the safety of traffic environments,” informed Ashish P.
Dhakan, CEO & MD, Prama Hikvision. According to Deepak Kaul, Product Marketing Manager – Video, Honeywell Security Asia Pacific, “Post some of the most gruesome incidents that have happened in India related to public safety & security that have happened in recent years there is an increased amount of acceptance as well as usage of mobile DVR / onboard monitoring. This technology is well adopted by several state governments for their transport department, education institutions, cash

institutions, cash vans that deliver cash to ATMs as well as to & from banks. This market is definitely experiencing exponential growth.”
Many important features of an efficient surveillance set up include: • Ability to monitor Live footage from any vehicle remotely • Alarm and alert systems in place if anyone tries to tamper with the cameras • Easy integration with the existing security systems and the capacity to scale up, if required. He further added, “While HDTV cameras are an important aspect of surveillance systems, equally important are the hard drives on which the footage is saved. In an onboard scenario, there could be two typical situations—simultaneous recording of the footage and Live playback or there is recording of the footage for a later playback. In both the situations, one cannot afford to have video frame losses. Sometimes, those few flashes are going to determine whether a criminal will be caught or flee scot free.” “WD Purple is range of specialized surveillance-class hard drives which are specifically tuned for surveillance security systems. Their caching algorithms are tuned for write-intensive, low bit rate, highstream count applications that are typical of surveillance applications,” concluded Khwaja Saifuddin.
CHALLENGES AND OPPORTUNITIES “There is a compelling need to bring a change in people’s perception towards security. CP PLUS believes that security is not an exclusive need of elites, it is ubiquitous irrespective of any class or section. While on the move, threat to
Yogesh B. Dutta, COO, Aditya Infotech
He further added, “However, the perception is now changing significantly and compact and portable security solutions are introduced more frequently than ever. The access of 3G network is growing rapidly due to growing popularity of other internet based services like online services, portals, etc. The other set of opportunities are offered by availability of HD, compact, portable devices at affordable cost which are not only intelligent but offers features such as sending timely alerts, smart search and scheduled recording.”
Deepak Kaul, Product Marketing Manager – Video, Honeywell Security Asia Pacific
“A mobile DVR is specifically designed for vehicles, such as buses, armored cars, subway trains, etc. A good quality mobile DVR can record for a continuous time without failure; it can withstand the frequent vibration and unstable power supply associated with vehicles, factors which are fatal to a regular DVR. It can provide evidence of traffic accidents and terrorist attacks while uploading alarm information to a control center in emergency situations. A good quality mobile DVR will also have a long life span and give stable performance, which helps customers to reduce maintenance costs, informed Ashish P. Dhakan.

“
According to Khwaja Saifuddin, Senior Director - South Asia, Middle East and Africa, WD, “There is a long way to go to install adequate and reliable DVR and monitoring solutions on buses, trains, and other means of transportation. Whereas newer projects such as metros are more monitored than the pre-existing vehicles, it is equally important to have full-proof security measures across the board.”
Yogesh B. Dutta, COO, Aditya Infotech
“The main difference between a regular DVR and a mobile DVR lies in the environments in which they are meant to be used. We give here five factors which define an appropriate mobile solution: power supply, anti-vibration mechanism, dust prevention and heat dissipation, solid interface and data transmission, concluded Ashish P. Dhakan. According to Deepak kaul, “Like any new technology or initiative the mobile DVR or onboard monitoring has also got many challenges.”
CHALLENGES: • Live streaming dependence on wifi, 3G and transmission of data from Veichles to central stations is a challenge as recording transfer on server via WIFI Big Cost • Poor quality of Indian roads as well as varied vehicle temperatures across India • With low penetration of the concept the budget allocation is also lower hence poses a challenge • Having pointed out the challenges there are a host of opportunities too which this product segment poses. This is a very big market still waiting to be explored as its still nascent stages.

• There is increasing awareness among the central as well as state government bodies, related public security agencies, public and private and the segment is gaining importance . According to Khwaja Saifuddin, “While there are enough announcements, there is a greater need for implementation. Although other compelling issues and financial considerations decelerate the implementation speed of such projects, we need to have a clear roadmap with specific guidelines and deadlines to establish an appropriately executable plan. Proper and reliable surveillance in buses, railways, radio cabs, cabs deployed by cab aggregators, school transportation, etc. is very important to contribute towards a safer society.”
“WD currently offers WD Purple, WD Purple NV and WD Re surveillance drives that can be used with 32, 64 and unlimited number of CCTV cameras respectively. Each of WD’s surveillance drives can be used in multiple bay set ups that can be scaled up as and when the situation demands,” suggested Khwaja Saifuddin.

Facial Recognition is an advanced technology which comes at a cost for a certain degree of accuracy. In the developing countries like India, therefore, customers’ focus so far had been on other alternative options for biometrics. However, some of the developers have increased the focus on R&D so that accuracy can be achieved even at a cost level which is affordable for all the entities who could be potential users of face recognition – be it Government sector or even retail or hospitality.

ccording to Dr. Tinku Acharya, Founder and Managing Director, Videonetics, “Facial Recognition Market in India is a green field and offers tremendous potential. As per one of the market survey report, it is predicted that Global facial recognition market would be approx. US$2.19 billion by 2019. This is majorly due to rising number of crimes and terrorist activities across the globe that would elevate the demand for efficient facial recognition solutions/systems in the near future.” According to Sudhindra Holla, Country Manager, India & SAARC, Axis Communications, “Facial recognition technology has come a long way over the last few years and is gradually becoming an important component of the overall security and surveillance market. According to ReportsnReports. com, an online market research company, the global facial recognition market is estimated to grow from $1.92 billion in 2013 to $6.50 billion in 2018 with a CAGR of 27.7%, representing the growth of this technology from a mere namesake a few years ago. One of the key drivers for its adoption being the growing security and surveillance market in India, which has been widely embraced by sectors like government, commercial, retail, hospitality to name a few. The technology helps us recognize criminals, comprehend criminal activities & creates records, identify gender, age and ethnicity of people for various other purposes, with very little or no human monitoring.” He further added, “In some cases, when the camera quality or light condition is not apt or the distance between the individual and the camera is more, this technology may face difficulty in identifying and differencing faces from one another as it requires quality digital images of individuals on camera and in records to match. However, with the use of HD cameras, like the ones from Axis, some of which can

However, some of the developers have increased the focus on R&D so that accuracy can be achieved even at a cost level which is affordable for all the entities who could be potential users of face recognition – be it Government sector or even retail or hospitality.” He further added, “General security measures have gained significant traction in Indian market over the recent years driven by economic growth of the nation as well as for different sectors. It has further been aggravated by the rise in incidents of crime and terrorism. That’s what has propelled the demand for advanced technologies such as Face Recognition.” “Because of these factors, though not prominent today, Facial Recognition would soon be the fastest growing segment among the biometrics apart from being a very powerful tool for security and forensic analysis. Of course, determining the market size for a country like India at this nascent stage of the technology usage is not an easy task,” observed Ashwin Amarapur.

even work in no or less light, gives an edge to this technology. Axis used facial recognition to improve casino security at Casino Gran MadridColón in Spain, where, a facial recognition system running on Axis cameras supported the work of physiognomists with gaming monitoring at the Casino.”
“Identification and recognition of miscreants before they create havoc is important. With the increase in fraud and impersonation in the country, the security and surveillance industry demands facial recognition technology in order to reduce such incidences. This is particularly important in hospitality industry (hotels, resorts, etc.), hospitals, building monitoring systems, smart parking, smart city, etc. The challenge is the infrastructure condition and availability of high quality video with proper uniform illumination, etc. The general perception is that one can install camera anywhere and the facial recognition technology will work. However, it requires lots of training for the customers and end-users. For high accuracy, proper the camera
installation (height, angle, etc.) and proper uniform illumination of the face of a person, etc. play important role to distinguish facial features,” suggested Dr. Tinku Acharya. He further added, “It is a challenge in our country that we don’t have a standardization process and Government has to pay attention to this. This is unfortunate that we often depend on some pre-qualification criteria set by foreign institutes or governments for their vested interest and there is no benchmarking standard in India. As a result, many foreign companies use this opportunity as a marketing propaganda to push through expensive technology in our land in spite of availability of Indian technologies. Our Government officials, University Professors, and most of the times the consultants need to respect Indian Intellectual Property, Made in India technology so that Indian R&D organizations can compete and get opportunity to grow rather than being confused with foreign benchmarking which may not be applicable in the context of our nation. To make it successful, we need be build Indian face database for the need of our nation, not only dependent on face databases designed by foreign entities.”
He further added, “Emerging trends and opportunities in the market include refining search engine results on the basis of facial images and photo tagging applications, gathering intelligence on buying and visitor patterns in various retail shops. Even media and advertising sectors are relying on authentic viewership statistics based on face recognition based features such as face count, facial interaction with the message (face presence, face frequency, eyegaze detection), or even viewer profiling (demographic analysis of viewers). The CRM focus of many businesses and more so for hospitality and tourism, is a great driver face recognition which can be applied as

“Increasing number of Government Projects implementing face recognition as one of the features is a big thrust for the technology. At the wake of terror threats, Face Recognition, that detects the presence of any blacklisted person in the camera view, is making its place as one of the main specifications for most city surveillance projects these days. Further, the countries implementing National ID and e-Passports programs will be highly lucrative for the face recognition vendors,” observed Ashwin Amarapur.
VIP identification feature.” “Many businesses have installed surveillance systems with IP cameras and VMS other components already in place. For them, usage of facial recognition technology doesn’t need any extra investment on hardware or networking infrastructure. They can simply plug any open-platform solution for face recognition into the existing video surveillance system. Hence there are a lot of upselling opportunities for face recognition in security installations,” opined Ashwin Amarapur.
CHALLENGES “A major challenge for this market is the limitations in terms of accuracy for face and feature detection, however, increased focus on R&D is fast overcoming that problem and giving robust and reliable solutions with greater accuracy,” observed Ashwin Amarapur. He further added, “Face detection & recognition speed and the support for a large face database are some other factors where many vendors would lag. Customers’ requirements are unfulfilled if the recognition time can’t be as low as just 1 second and it operates even with tens of thousands of registered faces.” “Availability of in expensive solution is another big challenge. Be it security or business intelligence space, face recognition definitely adds a lot of value. But because of high cost, the cost benefit analysis would deter many of its potential users,” explained Ashwin Amarapur. He further added, “Sustained R&D efforts over the years and the focus on cost effective solution have enabled AllGoVision bring accurate as well as affordable solutions based on facial recognition technology. With AllGoVision, face recognition like other video analytics features works with generic IP cameras of good quality and runs even on a PC, you don’t really need high end systems. It works for both indoor and outdoor environment, detects people faces even in crowd or while they are walking, and despite camouflage effects such as spectacles, beard or wig.”
DEMAND According to Dr. Tinku Acharya, “The demand for facial recognition technologies is influenced by increasing demand from various industries, namely, government and utilities, military, homeland security, retail, banking, financial services and insurance (BFSI), and others. Of these, government and utilities, which includes law enforcement and passport and visa programs, border control, accounted for the largest share. However, with increased proliferation of retail outlets globally, retail industry is identified as the fastest growing segment in the overall facial recognition market. This is supported by rising concerns of security and use of marketing strategies to analyze the customers based on their age, gender, and other facial attributes. It will thus, help in customer engagement at retail stores. Moreover, rising concerns of security have led companies to adopt tools such as CCTV recordings which are analyzed by facial recognition technique, alarm systems, and source-tagging. In addition, hospitality industry is also emerging as a high growth market for such technology.” According to Sudhindra Holla, ”Facial recognition can be used in different ways in both security and commercial applications. The most typical application is that live face shot images from security cameras are matched towards stored images in a data base, triggering different alerts and actions.” He further added, ”Facial recognition can also be used for business intelligence - gathering specific data about individuals, groups and behaviours to be used for later analysis.” o Another proven solution for facial recognition is when it is used for marketing purposes, for example integration with monitors that are showing tailored messaging depending on the person in front of them. o Most solution providers also offer a solution for forensic analysis of video, i.e. analysing a recorded video clip in order to match faces seen in the video towards images in a data base.
APPLICATION AREAS IN FOCUS FOR AXIS The main application areas for facial recognition that Axis focus on are Wanted Person Alert and VIP Detection (black or white listing) in controlled areas where there is a short distance between the camera and the
person in front of it. Secondary it is a complementary application for Access Control and adding value to our PACS products. Some examples of focus segments are: • • • • •
Casinos Hotels Bank branches High end retail stores Commercial buildings
According to Ashwin Amarapur, “Security is the most important application area of face recognition. Demands come from Government Sector / Police for application of face recognition so that presence of terrorists or criminals can be detected automatically when they come in the view of cameras installed at different locations and public places around the city. Even organizations and other entities like to ensure their private security by having black-listed people alarms inbuilt in their surveillance and monitoring system. Retail shops can easily trace the presence of any known shoplifter inside their stores.” He further added, “Face Verification for access control is a very popular application as it is a less intrusive method that doesn’t require any physical or deliberate interaction from the subject. In addition, being a contact-free form of access control unlike traditional methods like finger-prints, this helps in curbing transmission of disease from one person to another. Customer authentication through facial recognition is also applied in sectors like Aviation, Banking & finance.” “Lobby management is another important application for a safe and secure residential complex, hotel or an office. In its lobby, there is a mix of people including theresidents / staff / employees, registered visitors / guests / clients, contractors /vendors, or even unidentified persons with no records. Certain zones are meant for certain type of personnel only. An unrecognized face based on the zonal face database detects inappropriate access of an individual to a restricted area; it alerts your security personnel to initiate prompt action, as required,” observed Ashwin Amarapur. He further added, “If you are in a business that requires personal engagement with your customers, you would agree that your VIP customer doesn’t like to come forward on his own and say, “Hello, I’m a VIP” to get that preferential treatment. 67
LATEST INNOVATIONS According to Dr. Tinku Acharya, “There have been significant progress in this domain and still it is in a nascent stage to be truly a perfect tool with high accuracy. The innovations include type of algorithms which is lighting condition invariant, post invariant, robust to slight rotation of face, and alignment of the face. Traditional methods will not work with high accuracy. Videonetics is addressing such issues and developed a set of algorithms in collaboration with world class experts which is particularly suitable in Indian demographic conditions.” According to Sudhindra Holla, “One of the recent innovations in this segment is that of the use of 3D images to capture information about the shape of one’s skull. This would in turn reduce the technology and system’s dependence on conditions like lighting and allows for matching the images taken from different angles.”
June 2015 www.asindia.in
According to Ashwin Amarapur, “Apart from real time alerts based on match / mismatch of a face with respect to database, Face Recognition technology is also used in for postevent analysis. While Face Detection and Capture helps keeping records of faces (without any need of recognizing) as evidence for future use. Face Forensic Search finds probable match in the recorded videos and helps tracking the suspect’s movements in recent times through video surveillance points.” 68
“
He further added, “You can also do a multi camera tracking based on face recognition where you tag any person’s face and video analytics tracks the presence of that face in the various cameras and connects them on a map.”
Facial Recognition is an advanced technology which comes at a cost for a certain degree of accuracy. In the developing countries like India, therefore, customers’ focus so far had been on other alternative options for biometrics. However, some of the developers have increased the focus on R&D so that accuracy can be achieved even at a cost level which is affordable for all the entities who could be potential users of face recognition – be it Government sector or even retail or hospitality.
Ashwin Amarapur, Director, AllGoVision
“
But being tech-savvy, you can apply face recognition to automatically alert your personnel and triggers work processes for en enhanced customer service. An electronic message board can flash a personalized welcome note for your high profile client visiting you without a prior notice, creating a long lasting impression and adding a new dimension to yourCRM. This VIP identification can be pretty well applied in many sectors such as Hospitality & Tourism (VIP Guests), Personal Banking & Finance (HNI Customers), Aviation (Frequent Fliers), Event Management (Celebrities & High Profile Guests) etc.”
“Face Recognition based viewership measurement techniques are recently being used for in-depth viewership data analysis and customized communication on Digital Signage. Features like Face Count (Number of faces looking into your Ad), Face Presence (the time for which the faces looked into your message) or Face Frequency (time distribution plot for the faces) are giving you a new kind of engagement analysis,” observed Ashwin Amarapur. He further added, “For retail intelligence you can make use of face recognition as your frequent customers’ faces are matched with their purchase preference & demographic details such as age and gender. When they face a particular shelf, local electronic display flashes customized communications – a kind of real-time marketing for effective promotion and efficient product delivery to customer. Gaze detection (face pose estimation) finds the most viewed sections and shelves so that products can be strategically placed in the most revenue generating areas of your retail store.”
VERTICAL SPECIFIC According to Dr. Tinku Acharya, ”Defence, Border Control, Homeland Security, Banking, Retail, Hospitality Industry – hotels, resorts, tourism, critical infrastructure, utility etc. are considered to be the main target verticals for facial recognition application. However as the technology matures, we may see other verticals like manufacturing & automobile as well adapting such technologies for
various use cases.” “Facial recognition holds great promise for both, public and private sectors. Government uses this technology for law enforcements and security at places like airports, public sector units, research laboratories, military units, sporting events etc. In private sector, the technology has been used innovatively in places like online sites, for instance social networking, dating and matrimony sites, to assist in tagging and matching faces/features, retail, banking and in some cases for home security as well for greater safety and security,” informed Sudhindra Holla. “Government, defence and transportation (including airports, railways and other mass transportation) represent a major chunk of the market globally. Authentication and Black List identification are the major usage. Even smart cities and smart homes (residential projects) have requirement for face verification and lobby management applications. Sectors such as BFSI, Hospitality like to have VIP identification application. Viewership Measurement, Demographic Profiling etc. are very much useful for Retail, Media & Advertising, Sports & Entertainment. Touch-free Access Control by Face Recognition is very popular these days and very important for healthcare and medical industry for clinical reasons.

FLIR Thermal Imaging Cameras Help Mühldorf County Fire Departments Deliver First-Class Firefighting Services Thermal imaging cameras (TIC) for firefighters used to be bulky, expensive and generally unreachable for small voluntary fire departments, of which the German state of Bavaria has so many. Fortunately, with the latest developments in thermal imaging technology, TICs like FLIR’s K50 camera, have become extremely attractive and affordable, even for small fire brigades. The fire department of the German city of Mühldorf has recently discovered the many benefits of FLIR’s firefighting camera. SUBMITTED BY FLIR
T
he Mühldorf county fire department is a modern and professional team that takes the protection and security of its citizens very seriously. With an average of 3500 interventions per year, the several Mühldorf fire teams are responsible for a primary sector of 107,800 inhabitants, including Mühldorf county, as well as several adjacent communities.

AFFORDABLE THERMAL IMAGING CAMERAS

“Until recently, small firefighting teams like ours could not afford a thermal imaging camera,” comments District Fire Inspector Harald Lechertshuber. “However, 70
today’s thermal imaging cameras like the FLIR K50 have become more affordable. Also, encouraged by funding efforts of the German state of Bavaria, we decided to invest in new thermal camera technology. We learned about thermal imaging via our distributor Leopold Siegrist GmbH. We tested several models and the FLIR K50 came out as the best. With a price level like this, a thermal imaging camera has become affordable for practically any community fire brigade.”

be a very efficient way for firefighters to look for wounded or missing persons in places where the view is obstructed, for example in small or closed spaces or when you need to see through smoke. “A thermal imaging camera like the FLIR K50 can help us save lives,” says Harald Lechertshuber. “Only last week, we had to move out for an intervention and look at a car wreck as a result of a traffic incident. Looking at the car wreck, we were not sure whether there were one or two people inside. After being able to free one person from the wreck, we used the thermal camera and quickly discovered a second person.”
THERMAL IMAGERS TO LOOK FOR FIRES
The Mühldorf county fire department also uses the FLIR K50 to look for fires that are not immediately visible for the human eye. Sometimes when a fire team is arriving at the scene, it can be difficult to see how and where the fire has developed. “For example in row houses, you cannot always see from the outside in which building the fire is present,” says Harald Lechertshuber. “With the FLIR K50, we can already see from the outside which places are hot and cold and have a perfect overview of the situation.” But also after a fire has been extinguished, a thermal imager can help assess the situation and allow firefighters to look for looming fire remains or for inadequately extinguished fires.
FLIR K50 FIREFIGHTER IR CAMERA
The FLIR K50 produces thermal images of 320 x 240 pixels with a 60Hz frequency and a temperature range from 32°F to 1202°F (0°C to 650°C). The camera has five imaging modes that help speed up tactical decisions and the search for survivors. “The camera image is very stable, has a perfect resolution and the various imaging modes help us assess various situations much better,” says Harald Lechertshuber. “Next to the camera’s price level, what we also value a lot is the user-friendliness of the K50. The camera gives clear temperature readings and the operation is very simple, as it should be with a firefighting camera. A TIC should not be too complex, certainly not in the stressful situations we sometimes work in. In fact, the operation of the FLIR camera is much easier and simpler than I have seen from any other camera out there in the market.”
“A thermal imaging camera can help us save lives,” says Harald Lechertshuber. “Only last week, we had to move out for an intervention and look at a car wreck as a result of a traffic incident. We were not sure whether there were one or two people inside, so we used the thermal camera and quickly discovered a second person.”
“The total package of the camera is just right for a fire department like ours. I would not change a thing about it. Even in highly elevated temperatures of more than 250°C, the camera keeps on working perfectly. We currently make use of twelve thermal imaging cameras from FLIR in our county. Whenever, we need to do an intervention, we give priority to the closest available team that has a FLIR camera. This way, we are sure that our people get the best firefighting services possible.”

Utah Transit Authority Saves Time and Money With Milestone IP Video to Optimize Safety for Passengers UTA has equipped its system with monitoring alarms in 19 different locations, mostly in remote bungalows that require navigating through difficult terrain.

utilizes transportation modes consisting of fixed route buses, commuter rail trains, light rail trains, paratransit buses and vanpool services (rideshare).
OPEN PLATFORM AND FLEXIBLE STORAGE TRANSLATES TO A BETTER SYSTEM
Brent Edmunds, co-founder and president of Stone Security, knew that Lamount Worthy envisioned UTA operating a robust security system that was both easy to operate and flexible. Taking those priorities into consideration, he determined that Milestone technology would best fit UTA’s needs.
SITUATION
Previously, the Utah Transit Authority’s (UTA) video security system was limited by the capacities of its servers. In 2013, it had reached the maximum of 500 cameras operating on three servers (one for management, two for recording), which made it impossible to expand the system by bringing additional cameras online. In addition, UTA was in the midst of building a new line out to the airport, and was eager to display an improved surveillance system to state dignitaries. What UTA needed was a much larger video surveillance system that would also be more efficient.
SOLUTION
June 2015 www.asindia.in
UTA enlisted Stone Security to help choose a security system that best met its specifications. Together, they determined that Milestone XProtect® video management software (VMS) best suited the UTA’s needs. In 2010, Stone was named the Milestone Systems Installation Partner of the Year. In 2013, in addition to being named Regional Partner of the Year, it also became the world’s first Milestone Diamond Reseller. As a Utah-based company, Stone also had the advantage of being intimately familiar with UTA’s structure and requirements. 72
As of early 2015 UTA has deployed over 1,000 cameras from a mix of vendors: Axis, Panasonic, IQEye and Digital Watchdog. The system runs on nine HP servers provided by BCDVideo (eight for recording and one for management). With this system in place, UTA can expand to 2,000 cameras or more. The security cameras are accessable by dispatch, commuter and rail control centers and other authorized users. Advantages As an organization committed to providing passengers with an optimal riding experience, switching to the Milestone system allowed UTA to put more cameras on platforms while centralizing the control system. Milestone reduces the time spent by UTA employees attending to security issues without burdening riders. In addition, the significant improvement in video quality makes it easier to monitor and investigate incidents.
INSTITUTIONAL PROFILE
UTA employs 2,200 staff and moves approximately 120,000 passengers daily. It services Salt Lake Valley, Park City, Provo and Brigham City with 90 miles of commuter rail and 50 miles of light rail. It
“UTA doesn’t have cameras everywhere,” Edmunds said. “Instead, it deploys them in key locations, like facilities, onboard buses, and rail stations. The system supports many different kinds of cameras. Milestone marries two critical components for them: a centralized system and a lot of diversity in its deployment.” Lamount Worthy is the Video Security Administrator for UTA. He was impressed by the Milestone open platform, which allows a “best of breed” software integration model. In addition, the open platform ensures UTA’s system isn’t tied down to any one technology. At the same time, it accommodates future growth and expansion. The flexible storage options made possible by the Milestone technology allow UTA to change its server options at any time.
SAVING MONEY AND LIVES
The use of Milestone technology is having an immediate positive financial impact for UTA. UTA gate arms frequently get damaged or broken off by a truck or passenger vehicles. Prior to Milestone installation, these incidents would not only be costly but would often go unresolved.
UTA’s mission statement says it best: Utah Transit Authority strengthens and connects communities enabling individuals to pursue a fuller life with greater ease and convenience by leading through partnering, planning, and wise investment of physical, economic, and human resources.”
A MORE SECURE TRANSIT SYSTEM
Worthy knows that passengers put a premium on safe public transit. If something does happen, UTA has the means to officially capture the incident, and not just have to rely on someone’s iPhone.
Other savings are more difficult to quantify, but no less important. Worthy says the Milestone system is one of the key components in resolving several serious crimes that local police agencies investigate. “Our cameras have captured crimes that occurred off UTA property, and these videos were provided to local police to assist with their investigations. Without our new video deployment, who knows how many man-hours might have been spent on these case. We’re talking about lives in some of these cases - and you can’t put a price on that.”
is tantamount to investing in the local economy. Twitter moved its data center to the Salt Lake area in 2010, for example, and eBay opened up a 24,000 square foot facility in Draper across the street from a commuter rail station in 2013. Worthy knows that a top-notch public transit system makes the region more desirable to businesses that are considering relocating. Utah politicians often point to UTA as a major selling point in their pitch to new businesses. Utah in winter can get some chilly temperatures, lots of snow and little wind, which at times can act like a lid holding in the air. Worthy says the region is committed to better air quality, which would also attract more businesses. Since Milestone helps make UTA a safer, more efficient transit system, itthis can contribute to a higher volume of riders and fewer cars on the road that adding to pollution levels. “UTA means business,” Worthy says. “It means going from point A to get to who and what is important to you. In addition, the fastest and most productive way to improve air quality is to have a robust transit system. Milestone is a critical part of that equation.”
“
BETTER PUBLIC TRANSIT LURES NEW BUSINESSES
Utah grew twice as fast as the rest of the country in 2014. The state is currently home to 3 million people, a number that is expected to double by 2050. However, more than 80 percent of the population is concentrated in a 90-mile strip between Ogden and Provo. This kind of concentrated growth highlights the need for a reliable, secure transit system. Worthy believes that investing in UTA
“The encryption and protection Milestone places on its exported video is a key factor of its ability to be presented in court,” Worthy says. “If I have to authenticate a video, I can say with full confidence that this footage has not been tampered with.” Unlike an audio video interleave (AVI) file, video footage from Milestone has authenticated time stamps. Evidence lock also allows UTA to easily sift through videos to review and determine the appropriate actions to take.
PREVENTING ACCIDENTS BEFORE THEY HAPPEN
Another benefit to the Milestone system is that it acts as an early warning system. UTA has cameras stationed at some of its bus garages. Worthy says these cameras can zoom in to focus on substances
“
“We were looking at two or three damaged gate arms a week,” Worthy says. “It’s usually around a thousand dollars per gate to repair. Now, the new camera deployments give us the means to recover those costs. Utah police can follow up and interview persons of interest, and attorneys can choose which of these cases to pursue. I would say that this year alone Milestone has already saved us tens of thousands of dollars. We are moving to a time where the system will actually pay for itself.”
One of the most important features of the Milestone system is Evidence Lock, a new function that secures select video recordings for investigations. Evidence Lock allows Milestone clients to extend the retention time for video recordings from selected cameras in a set time interval by overriding normal video retention policies.
I would say that already this year Milestone has saved us tens of thousands of dollars by allowing us to better monitor and investigate transit incidents and accidents.

was based in Salt Lake City heading to a remote place, it could take a half hour each way, which meant UTA had to pay overtime. The Milestone system lets staff access the video remotely; if someone determines the alarm isn’t serious, he does not have to make the trip, which saves time, money and manpower.
pooling on bus floors to quickly detect if one of the buses has a leak. The video system has also been used to prevent more serious incidents. When UTA had a truck stalled on a train track, the truck driver did not call in to report the incident as he was supposed to. However, a camera caught the incident, and a technician called Union Pacific to let them know what was happening. UTA operates in a rail corridor adjacent to a freight line. Once a freight train conductor sees potential danger, he has a limited window to stop the train. In this instance, Milestone helped avert a potentially serious accident.
A USER FRIENDLY SYSTEM MAKES EVERYONE’S JOB EASIER
One of the biggest draws of the Milestone system for Worthy was its user-friendliness. As opposed to being bombarded with complicated new technology, Worthy says he was able to navigate the new system with ease. “It’s basically point and click, with very clear guiding tabs,” Worthy says. “There is a tab for playback, and clocks and icons that logically guide you depending on how you want to manage it. You can train someone in minutes. Everyone who uses Milestone loves it because it makes their job easier.” June 2015 www.asindia.in
The system, camera and server upgrades are done late at night when commuter traffic is minimal. Otherwise, the cameras are always running, which Worthy knows is important to the control center employees. Worthy says UTA’s more than 74
1,000 cameras are upgraded with no hassle. The situation is a win-win: Worthy gets new system perks but his employees don’t need to be retrained. “After the first time I use a feature that Milestone has brought to the table, I almost always ask, ‘How did I ever live without this?’” Worthy says. “It’s a living, evolving system. It used to be that you’d buy a system and when it no longer met your needs you had to start over. With Milestone, you get new features without incurring a huge cost.”
A SERVER-BASED SYSTEM SAVES TIME AND ENERGY
UTA has equipped its system with monitoring alarms in 19 different locations, mostly in remote bungalows that require navigating through difficult terrain. Before implementing Milestone, an alarm meant that a UTA tech employee had to drive to the location to check the cause. If the employee
UTA is considering incorporating Milestone Interconnect, a unique system concept that allows all Milestone products to be interconnected through the premium software, Milestone XProtect® Corporate. Milestone Interconnect provides a costefficient and flexible way to gain central surveillance operation across geographically dispersed sites, no matter which Milestone VMS is used in each. “Milestone Interconnect would allow us to link disparate nodes of the network together,” Worthy says. “This would give police centers the ability to share our camera feeds.” Worthy learned about Milestone Interconnect by attending the 2015 Milestone Integration Platform Symposium (MIPS). He says that his boss does not have to worry about him travelling because of Milestone’s impressive remote capabilities. When away, Worthy is able to access a virtual private network (VPN) and log into the video system to check on its status. “My boss feels confident letting me attend conferences and seminars across the country because they help me ensure we have the best possible system,” Worthy said. “The ability to be thousands of miles away and still easily access the system is priceless.”

Mechanical Padlocks for Transport Containers - An Ineffective Security System!

theft of goods with miscreants. Since each container contains thousands of SKU of a product, a theft of few SKU in each trip largely goes unnoticed; or maybe it is accepted as the necessary evil cost of doing business. Apart from vulnerability to goods theft, hassle of handling a huge bunch of key is another problem associated with mechanical locking system. Since each lock has one key, the person at the destination who has access to a set of locks is compelled to carry a huge bunch of keys or even a set of master keys which is often quite cumbersome. Further having master keys creates room for another problem. If access of one extra lock of the master key holder needs to be added/removed, then it is fundamentally not always possible operationally. Consider a standard Transport Company which has around 5,000 Containers/Trailers.
“ •
CURRENT SETUP AND THE SECURITY PAIN POINTS June 2015 www.asindia.in
Logistics trailers/containers/vans in India use mechanical padlocks which are locked at the source and unlocked using a duplicate key at the destination. There are many instances reported of drivers tampering with the locks and helping in the 76
Transport Companies sometimes opt for GPS systems to track their Containers; but the back-end infrastructure is also not yet fully developed to support GPS systems. Further such systems do not necessarily work in harsh climatic conditions of India.

are involved in Pilferage i.e. only 50 Containers out of total strength of 5,000. Further, on lines of a conservative approach let us assume that the guilty driver pilfers/steals goods just once in his numerous trips every day. Building up on conservative approach, let us assume that the driver helps in theft of goods worth only Rs. 1,000 in his escapade from a Container containing goods worth lakhs of rupees. Loss by Transport Company per container per year = Rs. 1,000 * 360 days = Rs. 3,60,000 Loss by Transport Company from Pilferage every year = Rs. 360,000 * 50 Containers = Rs. 180,00,000
i.e. Even after going by Conservative Analysis it is observed that a Transport Firm incurs a Loss of about Two Crores Every Year on account of pilferage from Containers; all due to lack of robust and tamper resistant Mechatronic Locking Solution.
ADDRESSING THE SECURITY PAIN POINTS
Transport Companies are aware of this pilferage problem and are looking for a robust security solution to fix the problem which should -

Facial Recognition Improves Casino Security A facial recognition system running on Axis cameras supports the work of physiognomists with gaming monitoring at Casino Gran Madrid-Colón. SUBMITTED BY AXIS COMMUNICATIONS
gaming regulations. There is also the need in this environment to identify the presence of VIP clients. Facial recognition technology has become a huge help in this respect with its ability to create multiple group lists. Facial recognition is one of the least invasive biometric technologies, as the data capture is performed by camera and in general there is no direct interaction with the subject. Herta’s BioSurveillance video surveillance solution detects multiple faces in real time enabling the management of subjects at any moment, and it also enables the facility to teach the system using direct video capture.
MISSION
The work of physiognomists is critical to providing proper monitoring of casino gaming and, by extension, to overall casino security. Each day, it is necessary to identify, on average, somewhere between 5 and 25 individuals for any number of reasons. Reducing turnaround time for personal identification in the casino has been a frequent request of the security personnel and managers of such businesses for a number of years. Today, this demand can now be met – as a result of the use of facial recognition systems incorporating video analysis.
SOLUTION
Traditionally, to establish concrete identification in a casino took considerable time while control center operators reviewed hours of recorded video. Based on the input of Sensorvideo, an Axis partner and company known for its experience in the casino industry, a facial recognition system by Herta Security was recommended that would make it possible to reduce the time normally required for this complex task.
RESULT
Currently the reliability rate of facial recognition systems based on video analysis is higher than 95%. As a result of the implementation of a system of this type,
used to support the work of physiognomists, the amount of time it takes to identify someone in a casino has been reduced to less than half, even at short notice and on days of peak attendance. Physiognomists play a critical role in casinos. In fact, until a relatively short while ago, it only required three parties to legally open a casino in Spain: a dealer, a cashier, and a physiognomist. They are, among other tasks, responsible for monitoring all gaming that takes place in a casino. Operations involving games with real money follow specific procedures defined down to the minutest detail. Non-adherence to these protocols can result in significant losses for the establishment. For example, a simple error in a chip count or accepting a late bet that results in a winner can create a serious economic problem. According to the Madrid Casino Gaming Regulations, in order to gain entry to gaming parlors, you have to present identification such as a driver’s license or equivalent. A casino’s need for personal identification by physiognomists is essential. It is necessary to identify individuals not authorized for access, whether they have decided to put their name on the General Register of Gaming Access Bans or they were banned from gaming establishments pursuant to
The system installed in Casino Gran Madrid-Colón consists of three AXIS Q1604 Networkd Cameras with capabilities specially designed for facial recognition, using wide dynamic range (WDR) technology that enables identification even under backlighting conditions or when bright light sources are in view. This server- based facial recognition system is fully integrated with the casino’s video surveillance setup. From the control center it provides direct facial view of the last individuals to have accessed the establishment, the ability to perform quick searches, etc. Subjects can be entered into the system via photographs and/or recorded video – or in real time – and it even works properly in cases when only a partial view of the face is available, on subjects wearing eyeglasses and hats, and on faces at moderate angles. In the event that the security controls require follow-up – whether internally initiated based on observed behavior, or at the request of other departments – reviews are conducted in accordance with internal protocols in order to ensure maximum transparency and security in all operations.Control of the gaming cameras is supervised by the physiognomists – who know the operation, rules, bets and payouts of every game and perform monitoring in order to ensure that everything is played out in accordance with the rules. In effect, their primary role is to assist the Gaming Department in reviewing recordings of the plays made at each gaming table, resolving any claims made by customers. 81
UTC Fire & Security’s Solution Secures Lille Metro UTC Fire & Security helped Transpole to create a safe environment for passengers throughout the Lille metro network.
SUBMITTED BY UTC FIRE & SECURITY
LILLE
Located in northern France, Lille is the principal city of the Lille Métropole, the fourth-largest metropolitan area in the country after Paris, Lyon and Marseille. Situated on the Deûle River, near the Belgian border, Lille is the capital of the Nord-Pas de Calais region and the préfecture of the Nord department.
TRANSPOLE
June 2015 www.asindia.in
Lille Métropole has a mixed mode public transport system, comprising buses, trams and a driverless metro system, all operated under the Transpole name. The Lille metro is a VAL (light automated vehicle) system, opened on May 16, 1983 as the world’s first automatic metro. The metro system has two lines, with a total length of 45 km, serving 60 stations. 82
PRE-EXISTING SITUATION
Across the entire Lille metro network there were over 1,200 security cameras installed. Transpole sought to modernise its surveillance system to increase passenger security. It decided to upgrade the system to enable a complete digital grid overview of all 60 stations. All camera data needed to be storable and available for possible consultation later. The solution also needed to be adaptable to new requirements and extensions of the metropolitan network in the future. Finally, Transpole sought a system that could be monitored from a single central control room.
UTC FIRE & SECURITY’S SOLUTION
UTC Fire & Security offered Transpole a complete video surveillance solution.
Data from the existing 1,200 cameras that monitor stations and lines is directly transmitted through 80 UltraView encoder/ decoder devices. Analog data from cameras is converted into digital streams, enabling efficient transmission over an IP network. Through this IP network, the data reaches a central control room equipped with a vast storage capacity, equating to 96 hours of storage for each camera. In total, over 115,000 hours of video recording capacity is in place for the system. This is a critical element of the security at the Lille metro, making footage easily retrievable should an undesirable event occur. With this system, UTC Fire & Security helps Transpole to create a safe environment for passengers throughout the Lille metro network.
Security Should Be The New Smart for the Smart City Concept The city administration needs situational awareness for proactive actions SUBMITTED BY RAMESH IYER, CEO & VICE CHAIRMAN, TOPSGRUP
(down from its population to its services). It will be able to accommodate the rapidly increasing urbanization rates, propelling the country to play an even bigger role on the world stage, teaching the world how to reconcile digitalization, citybuilding and an increment in population.
Ramesh Iyer,

CEO & Vice Chairman, Topsgrup
ities must adapt to the challenges that modernity has brought along with it in this new digital era. One of these challenges is to reconcile technology with all aspects of the city, a concept better known as a smart city. The smart city is a city which uses digital technology to run itself and manage resources efficiently. A city can be defined as smart, once all the eight key aspects that make the foundation of a city are identified as smart: governance, energy, building, infrastructures, mobility, technology, healthcare and safety. Indeed, all nations in the world are now racing to create smart cities within their territories to ensure that all aspects of life are critically improved and made smart so to guarantee citizens’ wellbeing. From Stockholm, to Berlin, Paris and Barcelona, national governments, local municipalities are focused on implementing smart technologies across all major domains. The new power players of the world, the likes of India, Nigeria, Brazil, Turkey, China, are now learning this lesson and running with this vision in their elected governments.
June 2015 www.asindia.in
India’s Prime Minister, Narendra Modi, has vouched to create 100 smart cities, which will be known as super cities. The cities will be outfitted with hightech communication capabilities - across the country. Along with that, modern satellite towns will be developed around existing cities under the programme. The Prime Minister‘s foresight is concomitant with India’s trend of continuous growth 84
Although the major facets for a successful smart city are taken into account, nonetheless, I have noticed that one facet seems to be overlooked, security. Security should be the top priority when implementing and drafting a smart city programme. However, many a time it is ignored or not prioritized, forgetting that smart security could improve not solely the lives and safety of its citizens, but also make an impact on the other key aspects comprising a city, and in so doing will protect the national critical infrastructures in the other sectors. The unfortunate cases of rape, violence and aggressiveness in India have showed us that safety should include traditional and digital elements, to further extend the effectiveness of security on a multi-dimensional approach to a greater reach in one of the biggest and most populated nations on Earth. Therefore, a proof security system must be ‘smartened’ and implemented first in order to guarantee the
establishment of a real smart city. The physical and virtual safeguard of vulnerable members of society, such as women, children and the elderly must be pivotal to the success of a nation’s progress and India’s government is doing things the right way in its approach to achieve it. Japan and many American companies, such as Cisco, have pledged to assist, fund and invest in making Indian cities smart. Many nations at the forefront of the smart cities’ concept, such as Germany, Sweden and the Netherlands show us that national governments can benefit from public-private partnerships to implement security models. Indeed, India’s vast population will benefit from a strong collaboration with private players in the security industry, to provide them with guidance on how to cater to all and guarantee the highest level of safety that citizens need. Many countries are jumping on the smart cities bandwagon, but with its commitment and the many projects under way, India is leading the way. With smart cities, India, the government and the security private sector can truly provide the world with the apposite guidelines to build fully-functional smart cities that will not only provide services to its citizens, but also raise the bar when it comes to first class security provision.
Technology has to disrupt the Transport Industry Only technology can enable Security and Intelligence that the industry needs SUBMITTED BY NARENDRA KUMAR, HEAD, STRATEGY & MARKETING, 2020 IMAGING
Narendra Kumar,
T
Head, Strategy & Marketing, 2020 Imaging
ransportation is an indispensable part of a nation’s economy. It provides vital distribution for production as well as provides essential mobility, directly interconnecting businesses to markets, local and global. The industry is diverse – Road, Rail, Air and Water, all of them constitute important spokes of the transport wheel. Over the recent decades, India has witnessed a rapid rise in the need for reliable and sustainable transport infrastructure and services, largely coming from the needs of fast economic progress. Technology plays a critical role in the collaborative operations of this industry. From managing traffic to ensuring security, technology is the backbone of the transport industry. However, an integrated approach to the operations has the potential to open up new ways of revolutionizing the industry.
ROADWAYS With fast economic development and rapid urbanization, roads have become an important component of the national infrastructure. With several entry and exit points, it becomes important to have a robust surveillance system that monitors the long stretch of roadways. This is where toll booths can transform themselves as security check points. State Governments can think of establishing central monitoring of toll booths across the state. This will not only help them keep track of their gateways for vehicle count, but will also help them to have real-time intelligence into vehicle movement. Video analytics solutions such as Automatic Number Plate Recognition will enable this function even further.
Highway incidents are on the rise and timely intervention can save precious lives, many times even prevent an incident. Speed monitoring devices, video cameras, mobile phones – they can all become the eyes and ears of the highway authorities. We have advanced technologies today that can automatically pick the latitude and longitude of the mobile phone raising an alarm, and can send them to a central command station with feed from the nearest camera. Traffic violations in the cities have become commonplace. Unless we have strong deterrents, we are not going to be able to stop them. We need challan systems that talk to the database of traffic authorities in the backend and enable dynamic penalty models. If traffic violations are commonplace, traffic jams are an everyday affair. Live traffic feeds and alternate routing of traffic will certainly alleviate the traffic problem, and city cameras along with satellite inputs can help achieve this.
RAILWAYS The vast Indian rail network caters to millions of people every day and needs to be managed effectively. Security of majority of our rail network today relies on manual operations. While metro rail networks have advanced systems, there is still so much that can be done to sterilize everyday functioning. An integrated system of cameras, ticket tracking and traffic control can open doors for intelligence that we do not have today. Cameras need not be static recording devices in the first place, they can become intelligent through video analytics. Abandoned baggage detection, Sterile zone monitoring, Facial recognition, Multi-camera tracking, etc. have evolved from research into deployment, and time is now ripe for our railways to adopt such path-breaking technologies.
AVIATION Security is vital at airports than at most other locations not only because they house an amalgamation of people and goods, but also because of the hard truth that they provide high visibility case for terrorists. This is why, beyond
traditional systems of fire alarms and access control, video surveillance is also being adopted at a good pace by airports, many of them willing to migrate to IP technologies having realized that it is not possible to monitor hundreds of cameras and collaborate with tens of users without an integrated automation enabled by IP. With IP comes the framework for intelligence through video analytics, critical for such large installations.
PORTS Events of recent years have changed the way in which we approach the subject of port security. Realities have forced us to realize that threats can come from land as well as sea, and that the detection has to happen well ahead in order to have time to deploy appropriate forces. Technology advancements have made it possible to detect intruders from water boundaries. There are systems that can integrate cameras with radar systems, some going to the extent of even triangulating with satellite data. For example, 2020 Imaging is working with one of the leading infrastructure companies in India to develop a central security operations cell that not only has an integrated view of cameras and radars, but also has an integrated alert management system of container and barcode systems.
TECHNOLOGY DISRUPTION IS IN THE HORIZON The enormity required to cater to billions of people mean the transport industry is hugely susceptible to security breaches and safety threats. While cutting corners in security matters is ill-affordable for any industry, it just becomes even more pronounced for the transport industry. Technology, if leveraged effectively, can solve many of the problems infecting the industry today. Security innovations have to move beyond conference discussions into project discussions. The disruption has started, and there is a general feeling that we will see the disruption mature in our generation. Let us hope that it happens!

BY PRACHI SHAH, a&s INDIA
purchasing through a distributor. They are realizing that the costs to manage inventory can be high and managing multiple suppliers can be difficult. Some of the largest integrators from around the world are coming to ADI and asking us to take over supply chain processes so they can have one point of contact to ship complete systems, rather than having to order from 20 different manufacturers. Michael Flink,
President, ADI Global
Q
What are the latest developments at ADI Global’s front? A ADI is a global business with three separate regions operating under one leadership team. As a global organization, we are enabling best practices from all over the world and leveraging our global customer and supplier relationships. How is the global distribution market evolving with trend of consolidation and mergers (Like Canon’s takeover of milestone & Axis and the latest Dorma –Kaba merger)? A ADI is the largest distributor of security products in the world. We have great relationships with all the top suppliers, and Axis is one of our major global partners.
Q
What this trend does is allows small manufacturers and innovative start-up companies to work with global distributors like ADI to offer their products all over the world. We are seeing more opportunities for smaller companies open up as major companies consolidate. June 2015
Q
www.asindia.in
Is there any major change expected in the global distribution business? A A change we are seeing is more systems integrators who purchased direct through manufacturers are beginning to understand the benefits of 86
Q
What is the core strategy adopted by ADI Global for India market? A ADI’s core strategy is the same for India as it is for the rest of the world. We want to be a one-stop-shop for our systems integrators, and provide them with complete solutions and offer a broad range of products and brands. We don’t believe that offering just one or two brands is the right thing for a distributor to do. At ADI, customers can pick up all the products they need for a project. We also believe in representing all brands equally, not pushing any one particular brand.
Q
What are the growth prospects for Global Security and Fire Safety Industry? A The video surveillance market is growing dramatically. One challenge is the offset of the analog market declining rapidly and IP growing so quickly. ADI is experiencing double digit growth, and we are selling a lot more units. Overall IP growth has been around 30% to 40%. Global market data is now available with information on all product areas that are showing growth.
Q
What is ADI’s response to Indian suppliers? A We support Indian suppliers. We support both local vendors and global vendors. As a global distributor, there is an opportunity for us to take
product from an Indian manufacturer and make it available for global distribution.
Q A
What is ADI’s future plan? There are a couple of things we are working on. We currently have different sales formats around the world. For example, in North America we have large branches with lots of local inventory, and in other countries we have a more traditional distribution format with warehouses and telephone and outside sales people. We are going to create a more globalized standard for our sales operations, so the branch structure we currently have in India will be modified over time to provide more local inventory and offer a common look and feel. We will also have a standardized inventory management system so we can provide better service and support, and customers can get the products they want where and when they need them.
Q A
Your feedback on ADI Expo? These were the first ADI Expos I‘ve attended in India, first in Kochi and then in Chennai. The vendor support was great, and I am very impressed with the great deal of feedback we received from our customers. The classes we are offering at the Expos are still evolving, and are very similar to what we offer around the rest of the world. I am really pleased with the turnout we had at the events, and the high level of engagement. Customers were extremely engaged in learning how they can take the products on display and apply them to their own projects. The ADI Expos provide a great learning experience, and we are planning to expand the number of participating vendors and increase the number of customers at the events in the coming years. It was a world class performance by our Indian team and vendor partners at the ADI Expos in India, and we are already talking about some things we can do to make it bigger and better for next year.
