Indian Security Market Strives to be More Vibrant in 2015 India’s Security Industry is scripting a new success story with market consolidation and surging demand from across the verticals. The year 2014 turned out to be an eventful year in terms of market consolidation. Samsung Techwin was sold to Korea’s Hanwha Group, Milestone was sold to Canon Europe and finally Tri-Ed was sold to Anixter. In the Indian market the consolidation process continued with consolidation of new channel partners. Honeywell continued its global leadership in a&s’s 2014 Security 50 Rankings, BOSCH retained its second position and Hikvision jumped to the third spot. Invixium and Pelco inked distribution pacts with Ingram Micro. Aditya Infotech has announced its Mission 2015 and declared the year 2015 as a year of customers. Now is the time for yearly review with in –depth analysis. a&s India is doing this ritual with a new twist in the form of “Industry Report” - Indian Security Market and “Market Review”-Fire Protection Market. The core idea is to get a sense of market sentiments and fast evolving trends. We have taken insightful views of Security and fire Protection Industry’s leading stakeholders. The recent incidents of terror strikes by ISIS has shaken the world. The Lindt Chocolat Cafe hostage drama in Martin Place, Sydney was a grim reminder of Jehadi Terror. The recent IED triggered blast at Bengaluru has again exposed the security lapse. The Travel and Tourism industry is trying to come to terms with triple tragedy, the disappearance of MH370 with 239 people onboard, the shooting down of MH 17 with 298 on-board and now the crash of Air Asia Flight QZ8501. The incident ironically coincides with our vertical market theme-Tourism security. The idea of safe and secure travel is catching up globally. This requires safety and security infrastructure to secure all the stakeholders including tour operators, travel spots and tourists. This time in the vertical market section we are focusing on tourism security innovations. We are also discussing trends in “Access Control Management” along with “Remote Monitoring and Management” to provide the latest update. In the “Fire Secure” section, we are exploring the “Fire Sprinklers & Ancillary” products. a&s India wants to know your thoughts and ideas as a security expert and professional. We welcome your valuable response and feedback. Do write in with your suggestions and feedback. We invite all the stakeholders of security Industry to participate in a&s India’s media endeavor. a&s India is always there by your side to promote the interest of security fraternity. We express special thanks for the solidarity and support.

Security 50 Rankings Shows the Leaders I had received a&s India’s the latest December issue. The Security 50 Rakings featured in the issue shows the recent upheaval in the security industry. It highlights the winners, who are leading through innovation by decoding market realities. This year’s Security 50 rankings again proved the year 2013 was another fruitful year. The top 50 companies grew 8.2 percent on average. Even without very dramatic growth, it symbolizes that 2013 indeed was a turning point for the whole industry. The result proves that the top 50 companies grew quite steadily in 2013. However, the figure also shows a slight slowdown, compared to the average 12 percent growth in Security 50 reports, per year, after 2010.Multinationals among the top 50, which mostly develop multiple security systems, ranging from video surveillance, access control, and alarm, grew exponentially and have become much more profitable compared to our findings in 2012 and 2011. In 2013, they grew 15.6 percent, compared to 9.5 percent in 2012. Their profit growth is 15.7 percent on average, double compared to 7.1 percent in 2012

Time to Focus on Education Security The ghastly terror attack in Peshawar’s Army Public School has brought the focus on issue of education security. Figures released by the Indian government in 2011 show that there were 5,816,673 elementary 18

school teachers in India. As of March 2012 there were 2,127,000 secondary school teachers in India. Education has also been made free for children for 6 to 14 years of age or up to class VIII under the Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education Act 2009. These figures show the scope for security solution providers to offer their services. The education security should be given top priority to secure the future of students.

Peshawar Army School Killings Show Real Face of Terrorism This year has ended with a horrific, senseless attack on schoolchildren in Peshawar. The images of terrified, bloodied children fleeing in their little green school sweaters will continue to haunt our collective consciousness. The whole world is mourning for the killings of 132 children and nine staff members. Only prayers and condolences won’t help. The demons of terrorism need to be eradicated by stern resolve to fight terrorism by all means necessary. I sincerely hope that India adopts a zero tolerance policy for the cases involving terrorism. The timing can’t be more relevant than this. I really appreciate the valuable content offered in a&s India’s cover story on education security.

Fire Safety Audits for Mumbai Buildings The Mumbai fire brigade received around 7,500 calls for blazes, both major and minor, in the past two years. By contrast, BMC records show the fire brigade has inspected just 6,838 of the 2.9 lakh buildings in the city since October 2012. Of these, 4,453 have been sent notices for violations of fire safety rules. What is alarming is that only seven buildings have faced prosecution. Most recently, an inspection report into the December 15 blaze at Mumbai Central found several inadequacies in its fire prevention preparedness. Keeping this in mind, the department is now working towards setting up a new inspection cell that comprises 99 officials whose only duty would be to inspect buildings and slap notices if norms are flouted and prosecute those responsible.

Corporate News L&T Companies Bag 950-crore City Surveillance Project in Mumbai

Dahua Strong Momentum to the 6th in 2014 Security 50 Ranking

Hikvision Hosts Trip to China for Key European Customers

L&T Construction and L&T Infotech, both subsidiaries of Larsen & Toubro, India’s largest engineering and construction major, have been selected for City surveillance project in Mumbai city. The companies, which quoted Rs.950 crore, were the lowest bidders for the project. They will install about 6,000 closed circuit television (CCTV) cameras across the metro.

In 2014 a&s Security 50 ranking 6th place, Dahua Technology moves three spots forward from the previous ranking. According to a&s Security 50 report, Dahua sustained double-digit revenue growth 53.2% growth in 2013 which is the highest among the top 10.

Hikvision, the world’s leading supplier of video surveillance equipment and solutions, recently hosted a diverse group of European customers at the company’s headquarters in Hangzhou, China.

“

The Maharashtra government had decided to strengthen surveillance in the metro by installing CCTVs following the terrorist attacks in 2008. This was the fourth effort, following three failed attempts, by the State government to seek bids for the project. Conceptualized after the 26/11 terror strikes, the project envisages a state-of-the-art video surveillance network across city roads on the lines of the Ring of Steel in London. The tender process for the project has got mired in controversies. After the terror attack on the metropolis on November 26, 2008, the state government set up a highlevel committee headed by former chief secretary Ram Pradhan to probe security loopholes and recommend measures to improve the performance of the police. One of the major recommendations of the Pradhan committee was that the government should install a comprehensive network of CCTVs not only in Mumbai, but also in Pune, Nagpur, Nashik and Aurangabad. 20

The CCTV cameras will be monitored remotely, while an emergency number along the lines of the 911 service in the US will also be set up. Trimax IT Infrastructure and Services Ltd, which was among the lowest bidders, was another company in the fray.

Based on the success that Dahua has achieved in the past, it proves we are able to provide world-class quality. Now what’s more crucial is that having total solutions becomes a cutting edge for a company to differentiate itself from others. Dahua dedicates to constant technology innovation, enabling to provide more added value, better service and solutions for customers

The company will continue to invest in R&D and keep innovative, providing the right solution and products to endusers as well as paying more attention to software development and platform cooperation, further shift from product vender to solution provider and to create more values. To take a closer look at last year overseas revenue, the growth at frontend product lines are quite impressive, network cameras enjoy a 250 plus percent growth in overseas market while speed domes approaching 90 percent and analogue cameras are 100 percent growth. As for the back-end devices, network video recorders have a 300 percent growth rate. Moreover, company’s in-house HDCVI — the coaxial HD transmission technology was widely recognized by the market, which laid a great foundation for upcoming big sale.

This was an incredible opportunity for Hikvision to strengthen close relationships with our customers. When customers visit our headquarters in Hangzhou, they come away with a better understanding of our unique culture and vision, and can share in our employees’ drive for success in European markets

Jiang Zhi, General Manager, Hikvision Europe

“

Thirty-three customers from across Western, Central and Eastern Europe, spent six days in China, where they learned about Hikvision’s assortment of unique products, and were treated to cultural outings. The trip provided Hikvision’s customers with firsthand insight into the company’s commitment to product research and development, and also allowed for Hikvision to showcase the breadth and depth of its product offering through visits to the manufacturing production and quality control facilities. During their visit, the customers attended various product presentations from Hikvision’s research and development staff, which included information on brand new products, as well as the company’s future plans for product development.

CP PLUS 3i Home Solution is the industry’s only enterprise–grade one stop comprehensive solution that sets new standards in operational efficiency, cost-effectiveness and performance. The video Wall controller displayed multiple feeds from HD camera feeds from outside the hall and even identifying License numbers on vehicles parked remotely!

To reduce storage costs and network strain the camera features intelligent Dynamic Noise Reduction (iDNR). The power of this technology is that it leads to bandwidth only being used when needed. When there is little or no movement in the scene, less bitrate is required. Therefore, iDNR actively analyses the scene distinguishing between relevant information such as moving objects and image noise artifacts. The degree of noise reduction is adjusted accordingly so that important objects are captured and image noise artifacts suppressed, optimizing the camera’s bitrate. Thus, iDNR saves up to 50% on bitrate and hence storage and network strain without compromising video quality. Local storage on the camera enhances system reliability by compensating for short network outages, so ensuring that video data is continuously available in systems with VRM technology without breaks.

vOptimus pro, video management software enabled operators at the Control Room to access the seamless and consistent video inputs. HDCVI was highly appreciated by channel community for its HD over analog features over longer distances. InstaLive plug&play wireless kit was a treat for the small home and office video surveillance solution seekers. It drew a huge number of curious onlookers looking for low cost portable solutions. Dahua Technology, one of the leading manufacturers in the electronic security and surveillance arena and no. 1 security brand in the world, demonstrated the latest and futuristic surveillance solutions. The technologies and solutions on display were, 4K, Fish eye Camera, Video Wall Solution and controller, Ultra DVR, intelligent video analytics, light hunt and face detection iDVR.

FIRE SECURE

Fire Protection Market is Set for Big Growth Over the last decade, India has witnessed a substantial increase in terms of awareness about fire safety and security. The rapidly expanding IT and retail markets across the country have significantly contributed towards the growth of the fire & safety equipment sector, and this trend is likely to continue over the coming years. As large refineries, petrochemical complexes, biotechnology ventures, pharmaceutical, automobile, steel, oil & gas exploration projects need to comply with various mandatory safety regulation, these segments has been contributing hugely to the growth of the country’s fire & safety market. However, the market potential is still largely untapped due to lack of awareness, stringent regulations and a common perception of fire safety equipment being perceived as an unproductive outlay. A separate fire safety act for each state is yet to come into effect, due to which ground level monitoring is still not rigorous. a&s India explores the fire protection market through inputs from the key stakeholders.

According to Col. Amit Sehgal, Director- Operations, Ozone Overseas, India, “There are many factors driving the Fire Protection market on growth trajectory. One of the major factors is development of high rise buildings in real estate sector where large no. of people and assets are at stake in case of fire or any other hazard. Increasing awareness among people about fire safety and enforcement of fire safety norms by government bodies is pushing builders & contractors or planners to ensure that all fire safety norms are followed while constructing a building.” He further added, “Now a days corporate houses and business communities are laying greater emphasis on binding of fire protection or safety norms so that buildings become more & more resistance ensuring safety of man, machine and materials. Continuous innovations from brands, manufacturers or product developers such as Ozone overseas, in the field of fire detection and suppression system has resulted in making buildings safer than previous times.

First one is awareness of safety and second one is regulatory framework for safety. Both these things lack in India. This is resulting into slower growth. Inclusion of certain norms for fire detection & prevention in National Building Code has certainly helped the industry to grow. However there needs to be a stronger will on regulatory front.” Regulations and Acts According to K. Arul Prakash, “The existing norms, rules and regulations are serving as the guidelines for the fire safety sector. They include following key regulations i.e. National Building Code of India, Maharashtra Fire Prevention and Life Safety Measures Act, 2006,IS Standards governed by the Bureau of Indian Standards,IS:15683 - Portable Fire Extinguishers – Performance & Construction – Specification, IS:2878 – Fire Extinguisher, Carbon Dioxide type (Trolley Mounted), IS:10658 – Higher Capacity Dry Powder Fire 33

Given the vast potential, small companies are mushrooming to cater to the increased need for fire safety equipment’s thereby making it an unorganized sector. While the pricing aspect is met with the consumer, the quality and maintenance of the products is heavily compromised. While in most industries the end customer makes an informed choice, the buying decision of a fire fighting product is left to the decision of a third party due to low awareness about its selection as well as application and use. Purchase of poor quality or spurious products compounded with improper maintenance is the leading cause of fire related disasters.”

Safe and Secure Tourism!

Time for By Anant Joshi, a&s India

n an ever –changing world where life seems to become both increasingly more challenging and dangerous, it is the responsibility of the tourism industry to protect its guests and to find ways for them to enjoy themselves without fear of disease, food poisoning, any form of physical assault, or an act of terrorism. Today’s travelers and tourists, for the most part, seek out places/ experiences where there is a sense of security and safety. Although there is a small minority of travelers who seek out the dangerous, most visitors want to know what the industry is doing to protect them, and how well prepared a local industry is in case a security or safety issue should occur.

New Security Challenges According to Yogesh B. Dutta, COO, Aditya Infotech, “The travel and tourism sector has been one of the fastest growing sectors in India. Millions of tourist from all over the world visit India throughout the year. The recent Travel & Tourism Competitiveness Report ranks India 65th out of 144 countries overall and 11 in Asia Pacific region. However, in recent years, the security issues have appeared as significant factor, which has a major impact on the revenue growth in this sector.” He further added, “The security situation in India and crimes against women tourists act as deterrents. Recently many unpleasant incidences against foreign women tourists have hogged the headlines. Travel operators have witnessed last minute cancellation every time when negative news spreads. Fear psychosis and sporadic skirmishes are detrimental to the image

of India as a tourist destination.” “The prospects for the hotel industry growth in India are still bright. With revival in the global economy, international tourist inflow into the country is expected to rise. The major boost will be the government policy to issue Visa-on-Arrival. Additionally, enhanced security, active situational surveillance and enhanced physical security, GPS monitoring, hosting of international sports events, trade fairs and exhibitions in the country are expected to aid both inflow of international tourists and domestic tourist movement, observed Yogesh B. Dutta. According to Ashish P. Dhakan, CEO & M.D., “Safety and security are vital to providing quality in tourism. More than any other economic activity, the success or failure of a tourism destination depends on being able to 39

Soon after 9/11 a number of airlines collapsed. Most shocking of all was the fact that a number of these airlines had

These attacks, along with the Gulf Wars, the war in Afghanistan and the terrorist attacks in Bali, have increasingly served to place tremendous and crucial importance on issues of traveler safety.” “The Indian tourism industry has emerged as one of the fastest and the largest growing economic sectors. There has been a consistent rise in the GDP and employment therefore evolving as a significant category of services exports worldwide. The

sector is offering tremendous job opportunities which are predicted to increase at a rate of 2.1% by 2023. However, the pitiable security situation in India and the increasing crime against women tourists act as deterrents. Also, according to a recent ASSOCHAM’s report, 72 % of the tour operators have stated that a number of cancellations have taken place from women travelers travelling out of India. Also, skilled manpower and poor infrastructure are some of the reasons that have discouraged the latter,” Prasenjeet Bhattacharya , Business Head -Security & Mobility at Panasonic India According to Sudhindra Holla, Country Manager, India and SAARC, ”City surveillance systems are increasingly becoming important as there is heightened awareness after incidents that compromised our public safety in the recent past. Cities have started investing in network video solutions (IP-based video surveillance) as both overt and covert surveillance help in deterrence and crisis mitigation as well as improving their tourism.” He further added, ”Network video is one of the most useful tools for fighting crime and protecting tourists acting both to detect and deter.

In the weeks following the 9/11attacks in New York and Washington, passengers abandoned airports in their numbers as the effects of these attacks extended beyond U.S. borders with grave ramifications for many airlines. Soon after 9/11 a number of airlines collapsed. Most shocking of all was the fact that a number of these airlines had been in existence for decades, and were not all American carriers. These attacks, along with the Gulf Wars, the war in Afghanistan and the terrorist attacks in Bali, have increasingly served to place tremendous and crucial importance on issues of traveler safety. Safety and security are vital to providing quality in tourism. More than any other economic activity, the success or failure of a tourism destination depends on being able to provide a safe and secure environment for visitors. This was highly evident in the aftermath of the tragic events of 9/11 and 26/11 terror strikes

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, suggested Ashish P. Dhakan. “Hikvision’s 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

According to Prasenjeet Bhattacharya ,”A few decades ago leaflets, brochures, directories, guide books, etc. were the basic source of information in tourism. Although they prevail even today, the usage of these sources has reduced considerably.” He further added, “The emergence of computerized reservations systems(CRS) have opened up a new source of online information in the tourism industry which is expanding tremendously. Booking engines have also been facilitated which allows easy accessibility for consumers and travel professionals enabling them to make reservations as well as comparison in costs which in turn gives much more control over the purchasing process. Also, seamless travel may be facilitated soon across integrated circuits through introduction of integrated taxation regime, linkages between various public transportation modes and improvements in highway infrastructure such as petrol pumps, clean drinking water kiosks and sanitation facilities, road signage, etc.” According to Sudhindra Holla,”Travel and tourism sectors are aware about the needs for quality products and security solutions. Government of India is also showing interests towards the security solutions to ensure the safety of the public and tourists.” He further informed, “Today, there is an increased focus on security. With rapid technology advancements, we witness very little differentiation at the product level; therefore, the USP will now shift to the application level. From a user perspective, it will

mean solutions will be delivered after translating product features in to user requirements. This will mean more and better adoption of open standards.” “Axis’ products and solutions focus on digital video surveillance and the company has been instrumental in driving the ongoing key shift from analog to digital video surveillance. Axis is recognized as one of the trust worthiest brands within the new IPbased surveillance industry and Axis’ market leadership is founded on more than two decades of success in developing core technologies and products for network connectivity, building strong sales channels, and forming key partnerships, observed Sudhindra Holla.

Market Evolution

According to Manoj Khadkikar, Head Channel Solutions Group, “The Electronic Access Control Systems (EACS) include Authentication Systems, Biometrics, Card Based 46

January 2015

Entry, Touch Screens & Keypads, Door Contacts, Intruder Alarms and Perimeter Security. The EACS market has been growing at a CAGR of 10.29 percent for the past five years. India’s electronic security is estimated at 3,000 crore

rupees ($500 million) of which EACS forms 30 percent or about 900 crore rupees ($150 million). This growth is mainly attributed to heightened security concerns backed by government and regulatory mandates.”

He further informed, “One of the key factors contributing to this market growth is the increasing demand from enterprises. The current EACS market in India is a mix of private companies, companies in public and government sector and residential sector which are 45%, 30% and 25 % respectively.” “The increasing demand from enterprises is one of the major drivers of the Global Electronic Access Control market. Many enterprises set tough policies regarding the employees’ access to the organization. The electronic access control systems help to fulfill these regulatory polices to a great extent by governing the employees details and their presence in the organization for the time. Also, the electronic access control systems significantly improve the control of unauthorized use of an organizations data and help to meet polices,” observed Manoj Khadkikar. “The growing awareness about the benefits of electronic security equipment among the governments, corporates and other small to large industries escalate demand for electronic security equipment. However lack of awareness in tier-2 and 3 cities, many enterprises are still using legacy Access Control systems such as keys and locks, security guards for high security areas,” said Jimmy Bhavsar,

Marketing Engineer, Time-Attendance and Access Control Solutions, Matrix Comsec. She further added, “Increasing demand from these sectors will fuel to a rapid growth. Among other sectors in India, BFSI and IT industries are the early adopters of Access Control systems in India; however, we are observing tremendous growth in government, defense, hospitality, healthcare, power and transportation segments. As the industry is beginning to mature, more policies and standardization will likely come along to protect the end-users, integrators and manufacturers.” According to Manmohan Kumar, Sales Director India - Security Division, Rosslare Enterprises “Access Control is getting important not only with corporate but for Government and Other Sector as well for the kind of benefits it offers. Access Control ensures the unwanted access to the premise and also updates you the time being spend the employees in the premise. With the features like interlocking and Global Antipass Back, it’s getting more secure and provide solution to the customer as per their satisfaction.” “Over the last few years there has been a higher focus on providing business continuity across the businesses in India and the same has propelled the need to look at Access Control Systems beyond just providing Security but also for improving productivity. The ongoing emergence of communication technologies like IP, NFC, etc. have led to emphasis on convergent and mobile platforms for Access Control Systems. The growth has been further fuelled by emergence of Tier II & Tier III cities in the country and also by Govt. initiatives around

e-governance requiring smart card technologies and biometrics,” said Vikas Saxena, Sr. Vice President ESSElectronic Security System, G4S Security System India. Challenges and Opportunities

According to Manoj Khadkikar, “A growing segment is always beset with many challenges. As India is an emerging market for access control, low consumer awareness poses a serious challenge to participants. Most potential end-users have limited knowledge of the devices, technologies, and benefits of these solutions. Higher cost of ownership, delay in government projects and an increasing number of regional regulatory compliances are seen as other challenges faced by EACS market in India.” He further added, “Nevertheless opportunities abound. Electronic Access Control Systems(EACS) are the next-generation security guards that are garnering increased attention as they protect against theft while also acting as human resources management tools by recording employee attendance. Moreover, the education, hospitality and healthcare industries are fastgrowing end-user segments for cardbased EACS. The need for access control in these places has prompted the implementation of security solutions, which will boost sales in the coming years.” He opined, “Defense which is the largest market for electronic security is looking into ECAS too. The IT market which is driven by the need to follow international standards and clients expectations also presents a huge opportunity for EACS business in India.” “The Pharma Industry is in dire 47

need of effective access control systems. This industry holds tremendous opportunities for growth of EACS in India. Also there are lots of opportunities for EACS in the BSFI, Telecom, Realty and Retail sectors. So India will witness a major spurt in the EACS in the decade ahead, suggested Manoj Khadkikar.” “Today Indian Access Control and security market is flooded with many imported cheap and generic product. Government should encourage Indian manufacturing by setting product quality benchmark and also establish standardization. Needless to say, India is a very big growing economy in the world and there is huge business opportunity for Access Control market,” Jimmy Bhavsar. The Challenges are to provide an integrated solution. These days it’s not only Access Control is required, but Access Control integrated with CCTV Camera, Fire and Intrusion Alarm System Required. These challenges only provides an opportunity to provide an High End Access Control Solution to the Customer. Rosslare will be launching its one of the most Advance Access Control Solution AC825IP at IFSEC, this is a plug and play fully-scalable OSDP networked access 48

Key Innovations

According to Manoj Khadkikar, “Apart from the CCTV cameras and patrolling guards with sniffer dogs, nowadays all establishments –both private and public- are strengthening security cover to all strategic places to ensure effective access control in their premises. These include, Perimeter Fencing, Boom Barriers, Automatic Bollards, Selective Access Control System, Under Vehicle Surveillance System (UVSS), Alarm System, Biometric (Fingerprint, Facial & Iris Recognition and others (voice, signature, hand geometry pin combination) and RFID ( Active RFID, Passive RFID & Interrogators are the different kinds of access control systems available in the market.” He further added, “As technology gets integrated into various systems, a centralized data center will be able to provide access to the same person at different locations. There is no need for him or her to get authorization at each entry point, say if a company has different branches in the same city or country. Aadhhar or Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) serves as an identity and address of bona fide residents including children and infants anywhere in India.’ “Access Control Systems have

come a long way in recent years, with most of them now acting as integrated security systems. Time and attendance monitoring of employees and contractors are often now a part of the same system and software. Incorporated into the time management software is the ability to plan shifts and work patterns and manpower planning enabling companies to better organizes their labor resources. Time and attendance linked to access control means that employees’ access to specific areas varies with their working time arrangements. Other management challenges such as the EU Working Time regulations are also incorporated into the software so that night workers and those working overtime stay within the limits of the regulations, observed Manoj Khadkikar. Leading Security solutions players like Zicom, Hikvision, Godrej, Aditya, Honeywell, Siemens, and Aditya are providing many of these EACS solutions

to customers and corporations in India. According to Jimmy Bhavsar, “Access control is continuously evolving with new technology and innovations.” Following are some innovations in this segment.

the

Switch to IP based Access Control Today corporates are moving on IP based Access Control solution due to flexibility of expansions, more reliability and easy to deploy and use. Biometric instead of RFID: Today fingerprint technology is more popular over RFID. Slowly organizations have started accepting, other technologies like palm vein, facial, retina due to its ease of use and being contactless. Integration is the Key: Organizations moving towards more integrated solution whereby solutions like Access Control, Time-Attendance, Video Surveillance, fire alarm work

together seamlessly e.g. door should be open in case of any fire, capture photo for any unauthorized entry, etc. According to Sandesh Kaup, Senior Business Manager - India Milestone, “Determined to unite access control and video into one powerful security solution, Milestone introduced XProtect® Access Control Module, an add-on product to the XProtect VMS product suite. XProtect ACM provides XProtect® Smart Client users with an easy-to-use interface to operate one or more access control systems. Dedicated functions in the XProtect Smart Client enable users to effectively monitor events, manually control passage and conduct access event investigations from the outset. Initially, XProtect ACM is compatible with the 2013 versions of XProtect® Enterprise, XProtect® Professional and XProtect® Express and available in the XProtect Smart Client 2013 R2.” According to Manmohan Kumar, “As the customers are getting advance and demanding, lots of innovations happening with Access Control Product Segments. Products with POE (Power On Eathernet) is the new concept getting widely accepted by the customers. Facility to extend the number of doors in future is a big requirement these days with the customer and companies are expanding every day and they want to be ready for future requirement. Rosslare Controllers offer the facility where a 2 Reader Controller can be converted into a 4 reader controller without buying an extra controller and help customer saving a lot. MD-D02 and MD-D04 are the Expansion Module being offered by Rosslare for further expansion of customer.” He further added,” Biometric Access Control with Match On Card 49

features where Fingerprint is getting stored on the card for 1:1 Matching are highly in demand with companies concerned about the high security and don’t want to compromise with it. Match On Card Technology offers a benefit to the customer where there is no requirement of creating a local database of the fingerprint and as the fingerprint is getting stored on the card, matching is fast and there is no chance of False Rejection or False Acceptance.” “Integrating physical access control with IT security has brought new benefits while changing how organizations operate. Organizations want to provision physical access control system (PACS) and IT identities on a single card (or smart phone) that can be used to open doors and log on to computers. This creates a seamless user experience when securing doors, data and the cloud and helps organizations to create, use and manage identities across many different applications on both smart cards and smart phones. Secondly, Mobile access control continues to roll out in stages and has emerged as one of the prominent innovations. Phone’s onboard computing power and multimedia capabilities has overcome limitations and provided more functional and rich user transaction and experience. The innovation has helped the connectivity of smart phones to perform most tasks that today are jointly executed by card readers and servers or panels in traditional access control systems,” Vikas Saxena. Latest Trends

Accoding to Manoj Khadkikar, “The development of next-generation access control technology is one of the emerging trends in Electronic Access Control market. This nextgeneration access control technology 50

January 2015

would eliminate the use of cards for accessing doors, gates, and drawers by embedding access control technology to mobile devices. The emergence of Near Field Communications (NFC) and other technologies is fueling the migration of access control technology to mobile platforms. The same basic access control methodology we’ve used for decades can now be embedded into NFC-enabled smartphones and other mobile devices, and we can now use our phones virtually anywhere we need to unlock a door or a gate, or drawer.” He explained, “Iris Scanner Technology is fast catching up in the ecosystem of EACS. Iris cameras perform recognition detection of a person’s identity by mathematical analysis of the random patterns that are visible within the iris of an eye from some distance. It combines computer vision, pattern recognition, statistical inference and optics. Of all the biometric devices and scanners available today, it is generally conceded that iris recognition is the best and the most accurate.” “The latest trend is the smart access with Biometric, or Card Less Entry with Integrated solution is driving the Access Control segment to next level. If you can enter your office using your fingerprint, mark your

attendance using your fingerprint and access your system getting verified with the same fingerprint is what an ideal situation for a company, it brings the physical and logical access control at the same platform and that’s what the requirement of market currently,” concluded Manmohan Kumar. “Electronic Access Control systems market is among the leading segments in the overall security market. Rising terrorist attacks and violence in public places such as city centers and educational institutions are some of the factors have lead to increase in demand for Electronic Access Control systems market,” said Vikas Saxena. “The one very prominent trend in the sector is that the industry is quickly moving beyond static, proprietary access control architectures to more secure, open and adaptable solutions that support customers’ desire for new products and technologies that enable their business. Technology has proved to be a significant aspect for businesses and has contributed towards the effective development of the country. It is one of the emerging trends that has not only contributed to the access control segment but has also helped businesses in various other industries,” concluded Vikas Saxena.

Remote Monitoring Trend is Catching up in the Video Surveillance Market The global video surveillance as a service market is expected to grow from US$ 474 million in 2011 to US$ 2,390.9 million in 2017 at a CAGR of 31.5% from 2012 to 2017. The APAC region is observed to grow at the highest rate.

he APAC region is observed to grow at the highest rate. This is primarily due to the growth of technology, increasing awareness about video surveillance and the everincreasing need for the cloud services as an option for efficient data and application management. According to Sunil Rao, Sunil Rao, Head – SaaS Enterprise business, Zicom, “Multisite Monitoring & Management market is evolving in India of late as in the western countries.” 52

January 2015

The major factors for this are as follows: • The major Corporations and Institutions, with their multisite, multilocation spread across panindia are finding it impossible to monitor and manage the security across multisite on their own. • This needs technically skilled manpower whose costs are rising every year. This coupled with increased spend on IT infrastructure and its regular upkeep and maintenance

becomes burdensome. A new trend is emerging to reduce manpower costs and outsource these kinds of noncore functions. • The corporate and the institution world are feeling a strong need to focus only on their core business and outsource the rest so that their resources and energies are spent solely for the growth of core business. Even PSUs, private banks are facing similar challenges as their network of branches and ATMs are fast reaching

out into semi–urban, rural and nonbanking geographies. • Education institutions unlike in the past are also increasing their spread and reach by creating new campuses or enhancing their presence in tier 2 & 3 locations. • The Entire BFSI sector is fast spreading their network of branches into semi-urban and rural areas. • The security risks and threats, while increasing are also rapidly creating and imposing different challenges to these organizations. • Hence the need for 24x 7 multisite monitoring and management is strongly felt across organizations. He further added, “To cater to these increasing demands for multisite monitoring and management, leaders in security solutions and services like Zicom are upgrading their technology and manpower resources. Today, Zicom can provide world-class Remote Monitoring Services RMS) both to its multisite and single site clients.” “It has invested heavily into deploying the world’s best monitoring software and highly skilled security operators at its Command and Control Centre (CCC) at Mumbai. This state-of- the- art CCC is equipped with the latest servers and telecom connectivity with adequate back up for its back haul, power etc,” said Sunil Rao. According to Nidhi Nair-Marketing Engineer, Video Surveillance Solutions, Matrix Comsec, “India has a huge industrial market which is flourishing by leaps and bounds. The need for multi-site monitoring, especially central monitoring is increasing due to the exponential rise in the undesired events in factories, manufacturing units, hospitals, banks etc.This central management of multiple sites can be

done with or without a server. Matrix offers multiple options for multilocation management like its free Centralized Management Software (CMS) and Cascading feature which allows management of up to 120 cameras centrally without a server. We are soon launching our Enterprise Video Management Software(VMS), SATATYA SAMAS which is a fully distributed solution designed for 24X7 video surveillance needs of multilocation, multi-server organizations.” According to Vivek Kumar, Head Country Operations (India), ICOMPLY, “This is one of the fastest growing market in security management. Most of the Banks, Corporates, Govt Departments, Retail chains are feeling the need of centrally monitoring onsite videos + alarms + other security device data into one central place. This has happened primarily because in India wenow have a basic broadband / 3G network available in almost all remote places. Lack of central monitoring was a situation where client won’t be able to see the event in real time and react in time if an incident occurs.” INNOVATIONS According to Sunil Rao, “The latest monitoring software offers features which drastically reduces the dependency on manual presence and

procedures and has lots of intelligence built into it. A single operator now can monitor 500 sites effectively without compromising on quality of security monitoring. Google maps for GPS monitoring are also in-built into the software for multisite monitoring which offers added value.” He further added, “Video-verification features are enabled by the latest software, which helps in avoiding false alarms and reducing false alerts to customers. It also helps in confirming about the authenticity of the alerts that they are in fact received from a specific site prior to triggering alarms at that particular site.Besides these, various other features like ticket generation, storage of incident images, remote retrieval of video/ images are also upgraded in this latest software.” “To cater to specific requirements like people counting, license plate recognition, missing object etc. Intelligent Video Analytics (IVA) are being adopted. Video Management Software (VMS) can be integrated with IVA, Access Control, Point of Sale (PoS), Building Management System (BMS) etc. for better performance in adverse conditions and for outstanding results,” informed Nidhi Nair. According to Vivek Kumar, “The most innovative and intelligent 53

They are as follows: • Lack of good quality MPLS connectivity across India, especially in the semi-urban and rural locations. • ISPs are not able to gear up to the increasing demand for stable connectivity at these remote sites. • High cost for quality connectivity is a major impediment in this process of monitoring. While costs are increasing for quality monitoring, customers are not willing to pay more. They are more calculative on what they get in return. • There is dearth of trained security operators and therefore, Zicom has established a training and education institute called ASTM (Advanced Security Training & Management) to fulfill this gap.

element in multisite remote monitoring is ‘Alert based monitoring’ or ‘Event based Incident Management’. Due to bandwidth limitations, it is virtually impossible to watch 24/7 video feeds (over broadband or 3G), users are only interested in watching the live/playback video feeds on happening of an event. Now this event can be triggered from various sources be it DVR Motion detection, camera tempering, Intruder Alarm Panic button, Perimeter violation. The key word here is Integration between sources of events/alarms and video recorders. If this is in place, then an operator sitting is control room can take complete charge of situation from one single interface.” He further added, “System Integrators or Security companies 54

January 2015

are offering this as a service to their customers where they deploy cameras, DVRs and Intruder Panels and don’t charge them anything upfront but put them on monthly subscription model. This is called OPEX model . Customers are wanting to go for this model because; firstly, they don’t have to buy expensive security equipment for their house, shops, offices; secondly, they don’t have to maintain these devices and third they get regular incident and maintenance reports from the security company at a nominal charge per month. Bit like they spend on TV, internet for every month.” CHALLENGES According to Sunil Rao, “The challenges in multisite monitoring and management are many.”

“The major concern currently faced for multi-site monitoring and management are the lack of proper connectivity modes, the irrationally high wiring costs and the cost involved with the Enterprise Video Management Software. Matrix caters to all these problems firstly by launching a cost effective VMS which will centrally manage unlimited cameras. Secondly, a feature Cascading provided with the SATATYA Network Video Recorders, Hybrid Video Recorders, Digital Video Recorders which allows central management of 120 cameras without a server which will reduce the installation cost by 30%,” observed Nidhi Nair. OPPORTUNITIES According to Sunil Rao, “Opportunities for multisite monitoring and management are encouraging as the demand is growing. Sectors like BFSI, Insurance, Education, Organized Retail, Healthcare and Hospitality are fast growing and increasing spread across tier 2, 3, 4 and so on. They are the highly potential customers for these services in the coming years.

The recent big ticket opportunity is e- surveillance for ATMs, the fastest growing area for banks in India.” “There is also a latent demand for setting up captive Monitoring and Management station for large single site customers such as college campus, hospitals, residential townships, gated communities, commercial complexes and malls. Clients want leading companies like Zicom to set up these captive stations for them and operate and manage them on a 24x7 basis, observed Sunil Rao.” “The biggest challenge is Network – since we are not talking about FIbre/ Raio transmission here – broadband and 3G are shared network which

means they don’t offer you a static / dedicated / stable speed throughout the day. The speed will fluctuate and it can hamper your security when an incident happened and you are not able to view live feed because of low network speed at that particular time,” said Vivek Kumar.

If they belong to different make – they might not talk to each other and control room operator won’t be able to take integrated actions. This demands an hardware agnostic open platform system which works as single interface for control room operations,” informed Vivek Kumar.

He further added, “Second Challenge is False Alarms. If the security equipment sensors are not installed carefully then this could lead to a severe headache when alarm panels starts sending false alarms (means the panel raises an alert by mistake or high sensitivity).”

He further added, ”Bank ATMs – purely because of two reasons – One, guidelines by Reserve Bank of India to have an e-surveillance system in place and Secondly, its much more economical for them instead of having two security guards working in shifts per site. Most Retail Chains – to monitor quality and performance on each site; Corporates – to keep complete control and management at one place.”

“Third challenge is the interoperability between all the security equipment installed on site.

The specific solutions include ATM Zone Management, Mobile Monitoring and Notification, Submitted BY Sumit Arya, Country Manager, NUUO

anks remain very much at the top of the target list for today’s criminal gangs. Robbers are resorting to ever more extreme measures, from carrying firearms to even taking the employees of the bank as hostages. Given this high threat level, it is essential Sumit Arya, that the surveillance system Country Manager, NUUO can deter attacks, manage incidents, gather and protect video evidence and enhance coordination with law enforcement officers. Due to the nature of the bank industry itself, the data stored in banks system is also the target to be attacked, either via the Internet by hacker, or vandalism by robbers. Therefore, how to keep the data safe and stable is another crucial challenge in today’s era. ATM Zone Management ATM zones sometimes are remote and isolated, therefore drawing the crimes. So, the ATM surveillance is a must for banks. To ensure the recording video can be safely kept, it’s suggested to have a compact recorder, which can be put inside the ATM. Also, if the recording solution can combine the ATM data with the video, POS integration, and this approach can help identify criminal behaviour, like “shoulder surfing,” and it can solve the transaction queries as well. Mobile Monitoring and Notification Big-box Retail Chains, such as supermarkets and warehouse retailers, are often with multiple stores and each store with around 200 channels. NUUO CMS (Central Management System), which centrally manages multiple NUUO Mainconsole recording servers, is suggested for this big scale project. NUUO Mainconsole provides features of I/O, Video Analytics, LPR (License Plate Recognition) integration to detect and respond to the events on time. Also, the POS integration helps to enhance the management to monitor and highlight the unusual transaction data. Decrease Shrinkage As tackling shrinkage is a top priority for retailers, NUUO recording solution seamlessly integrates with POS systems. By metadata-searching the playback video and comparing the video with the POS transaction data, which is overlaid on the video, sweet hearting employee theft can be easily dug out

No matter where the store manager goes, keeping an eye on the business has never been easier. Should an event occur, the video system will immediately notify the manager by SMS text or email, along with alerting related staff. Peeking into the store is just a swipe away by mobile devices or tablet from anywhere CMS The seamless management of digital video, audio and data is a powerful solution for large scale installations. The NUUO NVR-based Central Management System (CMS) is a powerful system designed for large-scale and high level enterprise projects. Centralized Management: NUUO CMS can manage all NUUO product lines including NDVR, Hybrid Appliance, NVR, DVR, NVRsolo and NVRmini. The NUUO CMS supports unlimited cameras,I/O device, POS, LPR and Access control. It has the most powerful alarm management system among all NUUO product lines and can control unlimited matrices viewing consoles in the central control room. Intuitive Operation: The controls and operation of NUUO CMS is clear cut and map centric. All NUUO CMS functions are accessible directly from the E-map. Security operator can open live video window, instant playback window, remote backup, query alarm, trigger digital output devices, check system status and more. Tackling the Criminals More Efficiently By using NUUO’s solutions, incidents such as robberies can be tackled and managed in a proactive way. For example, NUUO Mainconsole can integrate access control, Video Analytics, and the I/O devices to detect the incident. Should this incident happen, the security guard

will be notified immediately, and NUUO Mainconsole can automatically send an alarm to law enforcement officials at the same time. Secure Storage Focusing on how to ensure that video footage is secure, the innovative NUUO Main console comes with valuable features such as “failover,” so the associated failover recorder can take over the recording task when criminals take away the original recorder. In addition, we can use the “Auto Remote Back-up” to duplicate the footage to a remote site. The schedule of the remote back-up can depend on a specific user’s needs, for example, on a daily basis. Image Fusion NUUO Crystal Titan NVR supports the management of multiple Titan servers and offers the feature, ‘Image Fusion Technology’, where multiple camera views can be stitched together to form a consecutive view. Undoubtedly, NUUO’s solutions are leading edge in the way they identify and act on what is happening, thanks to features like the video analytics and the instant alerts. The process of

security staff finding specific video is also enhanced with the Smart Search function. Seamless Industrial Integration NUUO Intelligent Surveillance Solutions can be integrated with access control systems – an important consideration for industrial sites. Should someone try to enter with the wrong ID card, an entrance can be closed and security guard alerted via a NUUO solution. When considering larger scale applications, NUUO CMS (Central Management System) is equipped to bring together multiple NVR/DVR servers and centralized alarm management. E-map layers can even be built-up with camera locations and, when a motion or event is detected, the associated live video presented. Bandwidth Limitation For banks with multiple branches, there is typically a requirement for branches to be managed and monitored at the head office as well as locally. An obstacle here is that the available bandwidth between the head office and the branches may be limited due to the need to 57

Special Feature carry other priority traffic, such as financial transactions. Therefore, an Intelligent Video Surveillance Solution needs to optimize the bit rate of the video streams, so the video can be transmitted smoothly to the head office. Opportunity here is that to receive customized video stream (transcoding & having multiple stream facility from branches) and monitor centrally,alarm management to make sure the branches deal with the event properly, reducing the possibility of insider crime. Video Protection Due to its profitable and confidential nature, the data stored in bank system remains the target to be attacked by hacker. To overcome this challenge, the Linux based recording solution, it can be the way to skip away from the hacker’s intrusion, and also to maintain the recording solution away from the system crash caused by virus. Another source of attacking the video is those robbers, who not only rob cash but also destroy the recorded video. Consequently, being able to back up the video to another secure location becomes a crucial issue. Smooth Central Monitoring at Head Office For those bank security managers, who want to centrally monitor all the branches at head office, but with the limited bandwidth; the branches can activate the “transcoding” feature of NUUO Mainconsole, or the “2nd stream” of NUUO NVR’s. Then, the head office can use NUUO Remote Live Viewer or NUUO CMS (Central Management System) to select a most optimized video stream sent from branches to view.

“Make in India”

Initiative for Indian Security Industry

The major new national program “Make in India” is being initiated under the dynamic leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. It aims at fostering innovation and enhancing skill development while protecting intellectual property. The vision is to build best-in-class manufacturing infrastructure. There is never been a better time to make in India. a&s India explores the implications of “Make in India” initiative. By Anant Joshi, a&s India

ccording to Dr. Tinku Acharya, Founder and Managing director, Videonetics, “‘Make in India’ is a timely opportunity for Indian companies to grow and contribute to the development of the country and also create indigenous Indian Intellectual Property Portfolio. In the process, the government expects to generate jobs, attract much foreign direct investment, and transform India into a manufacturing hub preferred around the globe. If the Government succeeds in attracting FDI through its ‘Make in India initiative, then, it will be a turning point not just for the economy but transform a million homes for better living.” He further added, “However to achieve this Central Government will have to revive the manufacturing sector which is witnessing stagnancy for the last many years. Labor laws need to be reformed for the sector to develop. Transparent laws and industry-friendly policies need to be framed. Rollout of the GST (Goods & Services Tax) needs to be expedited, and reforming tax structure is imperative. Special preferential treatment should be given to Indian companies developing world class products and Intellectual Properties for participation in Government tenders.” “India as a nation is known strong in IT enabled service sector. We are yet to catch up in reputation as a country to offer indigenous technology, product, and

According to Sanjeev Sehgal, Managing Director, Sparsh following are the steps to enable “Make in India”. • • • •

Easing government policies and regulations with respect to manufacturing. Creating a business friendly environment and better investment climate. Supporting Small Scale Industries to be at par with global counterparts. Skill development and quality education to have a global competitive work force and Modern Infrastructure development.”

According to Shakti Leekha, Sr. GM & Head – IBMS, Bajaj Electricals, “Vision “Make in India” can happen, if India accepts the fact that it has to move step 1 from being a Consumer /trader to being a aggregator and then by creating efficiencies to bring prices down and getting the scale and push manufacturing .

Current Scenario

“The “Make in India” campaign has attracted a lot of investment proposals. Interestingly enough, Videonetics started development of indigenous Indian technologies for the need of the country since its inception in 2008. However, a lot still needs to be done to make it a big success. For example, Preferred Market Access should be given to the Indian technology companies so that this industry gets an equal and just opportunity to market their products in the local market,” informed Dr. Tinku Acharya. “Currently India ranks low on the “ease of doing business index”. Labour laws in the country are still not favorable for manufacturing and investing in India.India’s poor infrastructure scenario and defunct logistics facilities make it difficult for the country to achieve an elite status as a manufacturing hub. The 62

bureaucratic approach of government, lack of robust transport networks, and widespread corruption makes it difficult for manufacturers to achieve timely and adequate production,” observed Sanjeev Sehgal. Government Support

“The government needs to make a policy and put in efforts that will promote Indian intellectual properties. There should be incentives for investing more in R&D and in creating Indian patents and truly Indian technologies for the sake of the nation so that we are not completely dependent on foreign vendors. We should give preference to Indian surveillance products as it pertains to our citizens’ security and our country’s well-being. Videonetics is devoted to develop a strong intellectual property portfolio towards indigenous technology and products that can be deployed globally,” suggested Dr. Tinku

Acharya. He further added, “In India there is lack of awareness aboutthe state-ofthe-art Indian technology available from companies like Videonetics. Videonetics’ products are much more robust and work well in the local environment since it is indigenously developed in India by world-recognized Indian scientists and technologists keeping in mind the prevailing Indian demographics, climate, culture, communication infrastructure, and other parameters. Thus Indian companies should be given more preference over international players, especially when it comes to safety and security of our country and our people.” “We have seen few tenders floated by the government hinge prequalification criteria based on some international market reports such as

IMS Report which prohibits bonafide and deserving Indian companies from participating in such tender processes. IMS report is compiled and published by a private foreign-based company. So why should a ranking given by a foreign company be the criteria to qualify for a surveillance project in India? Moreover, we have to create Indian Intellectual Properties for self-reliance and encourage new entrepreneurs to embark on creating Indian IP and establish “Made in India” in the global market, concluded Dr. Tinku Acharya. According to Sanjeev Sehgal, “Government can create an investor friendly environment in the country, so that more fund flows into the manufacturing sector.” He further suggested, “By taking major initiatives in policy and labour reforms, government can create a business friendly climate. Special initiatives like Infrastructure development ,upgradation and

incentives could act as a catalyst for Make in India vision success.”

of dependency on imported products cannot make our economy sustainable and build a strong nation.”

Ideas

According to Dr. Tinku Acharya, “Generation of Indian Intellectual Property needs to be encouraged particularly in the domain of national security, security of our cities, and life of our citizens. Indian companies, like Videonetics, who are in the forefront of developing Indian Intellectual Property and indigenous Indian technology to address issues of our nation should be given special consideration in Government tenders, special tax incentives, etc. so that Indian scientists and technologists are motivated to come back. Now is the era of reverse brain-drain. We need to encourage patriotic Indians to come back to India to contribute to the national development. Indian Intellectual Property needs to be respected and encouraged. Without a strong Intellectual Property portfolio, development of quality products of international standard, and reduction

“In order to make in India a manufacturing hub and take forward Make in India vision ,Government of India needs special interventions like promoting Indian companies, incentives in terms of tax benefits and schemes like Preferential market access. By providing financial assistance to Small and Medium enterprises to compete with multinational companies,” concluded Sanjeev Sehgal. Dr. Tinku Acharya, a Fellow of IEEE, came back to India after 2 decades in USA with a patriotic mission to develop Indian technologies by mentoring Indian bright boys and girls. Towards this mission, he founded Videonetics and it has by this time created a worldwide presence and a strong Indian brand with Indian DNA.

SUBMITTED BY Milestone

Information flows much faster and threat management has become more dynamic. Our capacity to address change is central to our readiness. Relying on an open platform system positions our team — our community — optimally to meet change head-on.” WKU is like a small city, with more than 21,000 students, 3,400 employees, and a main campus that covers approximately 200 acres with dozens of buildings for academics, residence halls, recreation and entertainment. The university also has several smaller satellite campuses. Like any city, WKU has a vast infrastructure, which includes a heating plant, health services, road system and police force.

arely is the integration of law enforcement and education facilities as seamless as when a university or school system deploys its own police force. While many campuses and schools are too small to merit their own security staff, the larger deployments can be instructive for smaller institutions where communication with local law enforcement is the primary line of defense. Longtime Milestone Systems customer Western Kentucky University has been an innovation leader in the use of open platform video management software to bring added services to the campus in innovative ways and aid in the protection of its student body and employees. The close collaboration 64

January 2015

between the university’s IT Division and its police department, based on a foundation of the Milestone open platform VMS, has been central to the university’s successful video surveillance services. Moreover, according to Jeppie Sumpter, Director of Communication Technologies at Western Kentucky University, the university’s decision to institute an open platform system that is easily scalable has allowed them to integrate new technologies and address new requirements as needed. “The world has changed considerably since we first implemented our system,” Sumpter noted. “Since 2011, the community we protect — and indeed those we protect against — have become better connected.

Each of its many departments has a unique set of requirements for a video surveillance solution. Meanwhile, a small team in the IT division must be able to plan, deploy and manage all these different surveillance solutions. A key objective of Sumpter’s WKU strategy has been to bring all constituents of the life safety team onto one extensible, scalable domain that is as reliable and stable as it is progressive. Constituents have varying needs and levels of technology sophistication, but the Milestone open platform enables Sumpter and his team to serve as consultant, integrator and central system management and offer software-as-a-service for multiple campus departments and initiatives. The IT division’s network team at Western Kentucky University started

out using Milestone’s open platform video management software XProtect Enterprise, but upgraded to XProtect Corporate, which allows them to deploy custom solutions for different departments throughout the university. Over time, they have installed cameras as needed among nearly 30 departments, each with different requirements. They now have roughly 500 IP video cameras around the campus. The team uses various XProtect add-ons, such as XProtect Smart Wall, for additional advanced features and leverages Microsoft Active Directory for managing user permissions. The central management application allows the team to perform most management tasks from one piece of software, making it possible for a small team with limited resources to maintain such a large deployment with ease. IT handles the video surveillance projects end-to-end in-house. The backend pieces in use are common-offthe-shelf (COTS) hardware leveraging direct attached storage arrays for each recording server. This methodology has been cost effective while still retaining critical qualities of performance and scalability. If one of the main recording servers fails, the backup server

automatically takes over. This is a native function of the software.

intuitive and allows them to act quickly and decisively.”

As is common with the porting of new technologies to diverse nontechnology departments, ease-of-use was a critical consideration from the start. “We shouldn’t expect officers and non-technical staff to gravitate to a technology and actively embrace it unless it’s intuitive and easy to use,” Sumpter adds. “These individuals have so much new information they have to absorb each day that cumbersome or unreliable technology simply will not fly. The Milestone solution is very

With each deployment project, the Western Kentucky University team sets aside time to train new users working with the XProtect Smart Client software. They found that anyone who has used a computer is comfortable right away. Sumpter notes that many new users get started without any training needed but we want to help ensure they are using it as efficiently as possible to meet their needs. The software allows WKU to easily organize users and departments into different groups and profiles, each with potentially unique permissions. This is an environment where many separate clients with diverse needs run off the same, “unified” backend. A user can be assigned access to a very specific set of cameras, and they do not have to be aware of the other users and cameras on the XProtect deployment. The software leverages Microsoft Active Directory, allowing the roles to rely on user credentials that have already been created in Active Directory. “It’s extremely easy to create and organize these roles,” says Sumpter. “We don’t have to create and maintain users because they are already in our Active Directory implementation and it all ties www.asindia.in 6565 www.asindia.in

together very efficiently.” Each internal university “client” typically has two or three people assigned to operate XProtect for their group. In this environment, many of those clients have limited need or resources for live monitoring Instead, video data is stored in case there is an incident that requires the department to go back and review the recording. According to Sumpter, confidence in the performance and reliability of the system has benefitted his relationships with his “clients” in other departments, allowed for a culture of collaboration and cooperation, and enabled his team to look to the future and take pre-emptive design steps to make the system stronger. “The software is stable and reliable,” says Sumpter. “XProtect Corporate allows us to focus on the design work and fieldwork, which is especially important given our limited personnel resources. We can focus on our services and support our clients without worrying about having to babysit the software.” Sumpter cites the central management application as a key feature that allows such a small team

to manage a large video surveillance deployment, in addition to performing all their other roles on campus. They can handle nearly all management functions from a single application, he explains, and credits the Milestone Federated Architecture as especially helpful for managing remote campus situations. “We don’t need to move around to different boxes, bounce between different apps and RDP into servers. Milestone provides a nice management tool for a system that is designed to scale flexibly,” says Sumpter. As the network team rolls out more IP surveillance solutions around WKU, they continue to see people discovering different ways to leverage the system. The campus police department is one example. Going beyond basic surveillance, Sumpter’s team has added a range of automated features that vastly improve usability to aid in their mission to provide campus safety. For instance, XProtect has been integrated with the campus emergency phones. Pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) cameras are placed in strategic locations, with presets defined for the areas surrounding the “e-phones.” When someone activates an emergency

phone, XProtect automatically displays the location’s live camera feeds on the monitor wall, leveraging the XProtect® Smart Wall add-on. As the police operator takes the call, he or she can monitor the situation while officers are dispatched. At a remote campus that relies on the local city’s police force, activating the emergency phones also triggers instant notifications to key contacts within the city’s police department, alerting local police via emails with image snapshots and text messages. In another example of the system’s versatility, the university and local city planners had expressed a need to gather data for traffic planning purposes. They wanted one week of video covering specific locations around campus so they could evaluate the use of certain crosswalks and intersections. The network team used temporary mounts and spare cameras to quickly set up the solution, essentially at no out-ofpocket cost. After a week of recording, they simply exported those video feeds so the planners could analyze the video and decide whether certain areas should or should not have crosswalks, stoplights, etc. The team has also set up similar solutions to monitor construction projects. In addition, the university is exploring mobile video surveillance on campus buses, and the addition of interactive maps to allow operators an easy way to navigate instinctively across the campus. “Even though we’ve come so far and accomplished amazing things since my team and I first looked at the VMS marketplace for a solution to our IT-based security needs, sometimes I feel like we are just beginning,” says Sumpter. “That’s a good thing though; we are always asking… what else can we do? It’s an exciting time because there are so many things we have on our list to tie multiple systems, solutions, and groups together leveraging Milestone as the glue.”

hardware provided,” furthered Patel. Ultimately, both Patel and the university’s IT department determined that, despite the size, instead of a more economical analog CCTV system, an IP solution would better serve the university’s overall needs. Additionally, it would help future proof the solution in coming years.This was due to a number of factors.

High-Tech Components and Performance

ecently, Hikvision’s assistance was enlisted to secure Uka Tarsadia University’s newer Maliba Campus in India. This solution was notable for a number of reasons. However, first and foremost, providing a secure environment for the 4200 students and 200 faculty members on this campus was paramount. Uka Tarsadia University is located in India’s northwestern coastal state of Gujarat. Due to the location, historical footnotes, and other environmental factors, Gujarat is one of India’s primary economic hubs. Since Uka Tarsadia University is considered one of this state’s elite centers of learning, it was vital for this facility to be safe. In this vein, Indian-based installer Master’s Mind Technologies was contacted to help the university: 68

Build a state-of-the-art CCTV system, Future-proof the solution, Provide an easy learning curve for university IT administrators, Provide top-shelf support for the solution

Starting from Scratch

Ketan Patel, owner of Master’s Mind Technologies noted, “This solution was unique in the sense that the Maliba Campus was a blank slate - the campus did not have any existing CCTV solution when we began.” Patel explained that generally in large-scale projects such as this, it is often a case of upgrading an existing solution - not building one from scratch. “This presented both opportunities in the caliber of solution we could offer, as well as potential drawbacks. Namely, the costs associated with building a solution from the ground-up and cost of

Due to the massive distances between academic departments and outdoor surveillance points, fiberoptics were run between these locations and connected to each other using PoE switches. While fiber-optics are expensive, multiple PoE switches helped reduce the costs associated with installation. Importantly, this setup allows state-of-the-art video transmission, as well as providing an easy platform for any future upgrades that the university may request. However, the lynchpin of the solution is a pair of Hikvision camera models: the DS-2CD2112-I 1.3MP IP66 Network Mini Dome Camera and the DS-2CD2012-I 1.3MP IR Mini Bullet Camera. The DS-2CD2112-I IP66 Network Mini Dome Camera was primarily tasked with the interior of the campus. Patel stated, “This camera’s 720p realtime video is much better than analog, which obviously serves the school’s security goals to a higher degree. Furthermore, Hikvision’s support really allowed us to customize this camera to our specific needs.”

CASE STUDY

Patel was referring to Hikvision’s ability to help modify the camera’s lens. Out-of-the-box, the DS-2CD2112-I is equipped with a 4mm standard lens. This 4mm lens provides 75° of coverage. However, due to the specific dynamics of many of the school’s classrooms, a wider field of coverage was needed. In conjunction with Hikvision engineers, Mr. Patel instead placed a 2.8 lens on the DS-2CD2112 to provide 90° of coverage - enough for the entire classroom. Furthermore, while some indoor facilities are lighted overnight, the majority of classrooms are not. In this instance, “the up-to 30m of IR visibility is invaluable for proper surveillance in off-hours,” added Patel. Ironically, outdoors, the vast majority of the environment is lighted, thus reducing the need for the DS2CD2012-I 1.3MP IR Mini Bullet Camera’s identical 30m IR range. However, the unit’s 1.3 megapixel high resolution is vital for university IT personnel to quickly identify a possible threat, regardless of time of day. Additionally, the DS-2CD2012I’s IP66 rating is critical to withstand

India’s notoriously punishing weather conditions.

Master’s Mind Technologies Promising Future

Citing a need to both reduce the learning curve for the university’s IT department (the operators of the CCTV system), as well as reduce costs, Mr. Patel used Hikvision’s iVMS software to create a PC-based solution. Instead of NVRs, IT administrators are able

to view up-to 135 cameras per PC, allowing the entire network to be fully viewed on 4 PCs. Patel again cited Hikvision’s exemplary product support as a boon for the growth of his company. With Hikvision engineers quickly and efficiently addressing any issues that arise, Patel is excited for the future of this solution and the prospects of his own company.

property, it was inevitable that Whistler Blackcomb would need to upgrade to a versatile, high-performance video surveillance solution that can efficiently manage the area. “Our video coverage for viewing was antiquated and not effective,” said Carl Rochon, IT Systems Administrator at Whistler Blackcomb. “The number of buildings, the terrain and the multiple business units that we operate certainly posed a challenge and made it difficult for us as a security department to analyze footage right away.” With the assistance of the Vancouver-based security integrator, BMS Integrated Services, the resort considered several surveillance camera manufacturers before ultimately selecting Avigilon.

Solution

Security personnel at Whistler Blackcomb manage the Avigilon™ high-definition security system from their control room using the Avigilon Control Center (ACC) 5 network management software (NVMS) with High Definition Stream Management (HDSM) technology. The resort uses over 100 Avigilon HD Dome and HD Bullet cameras, ranging from 1 MP to 5 MP in both indoor and outdoor settings, to monitor retail and rental stores, inventory locations, public loading areas, financial vaults, employee service areas, and numerous doors and gates. Whistler Blackcomb uses Avigilon video encoders to leverage the resort’s 100plus existing analog cameras. The team also uses ACC Mobile to view live and recorded images remotely and Avigilon Network Video Recorders (NVRs) to store up to 30 days of continuous surveillance footage. 70

Located just 125 km north of Vancouver, British Columbia, Whistler Blackcomb is a worldclass ski resort that accommodates over two million skiers and snowboarders annually. One of the main venues during the 2010 Winter Olympic Games in Vancouver, Whistler Blackcomb is the largest ski resort in North America and home of the world-record breaking “Peak 2 Peak” Gondola. In recent years, the resort had relied on an outdated, largely analogbased video surveillance system to oversee its security initiatives. But with 8,171 acres of skiable terrain along with over 100 buildings and facilities on the

“We felt that Avigilon offered the complete package of quality cameras at a good price and an excellent interface to maximize the effectiveness of those cameras,” said Rochon. “We are continually impressed with this combination.” Whistler Blackcomb has been so satisfied with the Avigilon system, the resort has plans to install over 600 more cameras and 12 NVRs in the next few years. “We are moving closer to our goal of greater employee safety, external guest safety and the protection of company assets by utilizing surveillance technology with better evidence,” Rochon said. “We are certainly moving in that direction with our Avigilon solution.”

surveillance system. Due to the scope of Whistler Blackcomb, the resort has multiple users within each business unit (60 in total) that have 24-hour access to cameras within their designated area. Whether security personnel are monitoring from their desktops or from their smart phones and tablets using ACC Mobile, they can quickly locate and assess certain incidents. “The Avigilon Control Center software is a tool that enables our security and management team to be more efficient in their jobs,” said Rochon. “Our staff can view video, both live or recorded, and immediately address situations.” Rochon attributes the software’s ease-ofuse and advanced playback and search functionality as the ACC software’s key benefits. “We used to literally spend hours searching individual camera footage on local DVRs to hopefully find anything useful,” Rochon said. “Now, it takes less than a minute to achieve significantly greater evidence. The search capability is mind-blowing to say the least.”

Improved Safety

Given the vast terrain and multiple business units that Whistler Blackcomb is home to, ensuring the safety of guests and employees can be challenging for security officials at the resort. Each separate division within Whistler Blackcomb’s umbrella of operations has their own security and safety concerns. “Our Guest Services Division would cite employee and guest safety as their top priority,” Rochon said. “It is from this perspective that we endeavor to leverage practices and technology to minimize these concerns.” HD video surveillance has enabled security officials at Whistler Blackcomb to monitor large outdoor areas with greater efficiency, which has been a key asset in locating lost skiers or assessing any incidents. “As we upgrade our cameras across our mountain operations, the only question I am constantly asked from the various business units is, ‘When can we get that new camera solution installed at our location?’” said Rochon. “It makes

a much needed difference for improved safety, security and protection.” Despite the size of Whistler Blackcomb, the Avigilon solution has also proven to be a cost-effective surveillance solution for the resort. “We were always told that Avigilon was too expensive to install for a site like ours,” said Rochon. “We found the opposite to be true.”

Minimize Theft

With over two million annual skiers and snowboarders, as well as 1500 fulltime and 3500 seasonal employees, minimizing theft was a challenging task for Whistler Blackcomb. Since deploying the Avigilon HD solution, the security team at Whistler Blackcomb has been able to effectively protect the resort’s retail and rental stores, inventory locations, public loading areas, financial vaults, employee service areas, and numerous doors and gates. The resort has also been able to use the high-definition footage to identify and prosecute individuals who commit theft. “With each camera installation, it gives us greater evidence to apprehend the culprits as well as deter those that may be contemplating such actions,” said Rochon. “Our local

RCMP (Royal Canadian Mounted Police) detachment doesn’t hesitate to request video evidence anymore since we have installed our Avigilon cameras.” Almost immediately after deploying the Avigilon solution in the ski rental shop at the resort, the security team was able to catch two individuals stealing expensive snowboards and equipment. “Because of the clarity of the image captured, we were immediately able to clearly identify our suspects and push that picture out to all our managers in the area,” said Rochon. “The perpetrators tried to flee Whistler quickly and it didn’t work for them.” The Avigilon solution also positively impacts the resort’s ability to affect the costs associated with vandalism and theft. Once the resort completes its Avigilon camera expansion, Rochon estimates Avigilon’s end-to-end solution will help Whistler Blackcomb recover $250,000 worth of product per year. “All in all, we probably have half a million dollars worth of theft or damage to property that shouldn’t occur,” said Rochon. “Avigilon will not only help us cut that cost in half, but it will also lower our liability insurance cost.”

VIEW POINT

Data Centers – Secure But Still Not Secure Data Centers need to look beyond traditional mindset while planning about security By Sellox B.V. (India)

With the increasing complexity of business data requirements, inhouse management of data centers is becoming largely ineffective and expensive. This is driving the third-party data centre industry, which is estimated to reach $1.1 billion by 2015, witnessing a CAGR of 29% over a period of last five years. As the market for these hosted Data Centers increases; so does the security concern. Servers are leased by companies creating possibilities for authorized access to information by competitor or even insiders.

he overall cost of securing your premises is high, of course you were aware of that, it had left a big dent on your balance sheet; but the cost of not completely securing your premises is much higher. Yes, that’s the ugly truth. Employing latest safety &security mechanism ensures good security of the data center and it may help you get a good night’s sleep(most of the time)but even a smallest security vulnerability that gets left out will beats the whole purpose with all the time & money invested going down the drain.

January 2015

Crooks –Always A Step Ahead The crooks that have matured and got sophisticated over period of time look out for such tiny loophole to get into the system and exploit it to their benefits. As the saying goes, “The good guys need to be right all the time. The bad guys need to be right just once.” Organizations tend to protect themselves from high level security breaches but often small security glitches at the site goes missed; and that is exactly the gap the crooks look out for to use it to their advantage. Let us explore some common security loopholes in the Data centre

industry and ways in which it can be prevented. Yes, when we say the ways in which it can be prevented, we talk about our product. No point in beating around the bush, right? Mechanical Cylinder in Swing Handles – Basis of Security Threat In case of individually locked Server Racks at the Data Centre, each rack enclosure has a Swing Handle its own Mechanical Lock in-built into it. As in any mechanical lock, the cylinder of the lock can be picked or tampered giving unauthorized access; and to add pain to the injury there is no tamper evidence of unauthorized access with mechanical locks. The problem is not only with the mechanical locks; but equally with its partner in crime - the mechanical keys. Keys can be duplicated; and the problem gets compounded with lost keys or keys left with former employees. The only painful solution is to change the server enclosure lock to protect any data security loss or any other security vulnerability. A lot of biometric systems are now being installed on the server enclosures but they come with their own set of problems; the most important being ensuring UPS backed power supply to the biometric reader. And such systems can be installed only in new installations as such systems cannot be retro-fitted into existing data centers enclosures. Easy Access into the Access List Data is sensitive and immensely precious but the lower level staffs do not always value or rather understand the importance of it. The physical guards do not do a lot of thinking

before putting someone on the access list. A lot of sub-contractors enter the premises for various reasons and they unnecessarily become part of the access list. E.g. A HVAC service contractor shows up and says, “I need to get inside to service the Air Conditioner”, and the guard without second though adds him to the access list; as the sub-contractor has equipment installed in the data center which the guard assumes needs to be serviced. The servicing may or may not be required but the contractor finds his way into the Access List. Same applies to the cleaning staff and other service engineers. Thus we see that such a system is compromised as the sub-contractors may gain access the server by picking the lock; or with the help of a duplicate key he might have

obtained through his own deceitful means. If an unauthorized person gains access to the server, it could mean loss of sensitive data worth millions along with loss of reputation and customer confidence.This will be a real nightmare. Is this something you would want that to happen? Of course not. Hence; The Proposed Solution: Sellox B.V. (India) has proposed use of Intelligent Locking System i.e. Cylock Electronic cylinders wherein the existing Mechanical Locking System is upgraded to a Retro-fit Electronic yet Non-Wired Locking System. • Cylock puts artificial intelligence into the ‘Key’ (Cykey) by replacing the Mechanical locks with

Smart Electronic cylinders. • An Electronic yet Non-wired Cylinder, it DoesNot need wiring or a power supply(not even batteries) as the Cylinder is energized by the Cykey. • One Cykey can be used to access close to 15,000 different Electronic Cylinders; depending on the Access Rights &Authorization of an individual. • The system also provides a detailed Audit Trail(Logs) of “Who Accessed Which server When”. • No need to worry about Lost Keys or former employees; as the Lost Key can be easily deactivated in the system.

Vibhoar Kumar, Managing Director, Copper Connections

orn in 1985 and based in Delhi, CCL (Copper Connections) forays into Security Alarm Systems with 30 years of experience in PBX manufacturing. Company is fully geared to change the face of Intrusion Alarm Systems in India. Established by Vibhoar Kumar, the company is now strengthened with induction of two technical directors having Electronics Engineering background. They have created enough buoyancy to meet the challenges in achieving the company’s goals. The manufacturing activities of the company are spread over an area of 25,000 sq. ft. and are supplemented by diligent work force comprising of Communication Engineers and Technicians who are receptive to the changing market demands. The in-house production is backed by Research & Development team, which proudly enjoys the recognition of the Dept. of Science and Technology (Govt. of India). The company markets its products all over India through a wide network of dealers. The Dealers are provided thorough technical training to understand the products and ensure prompt and efficient services to reach

Ideally Intruder Alarm System should be integrated with Electrical lights of the premises to thwart intruders and then backed up with a CCTV Camera to view the gravity of situation. Since the user now has accurate details of the intrusion, the needful action can be taken. One must understand that human life is more precious than valuables.Hence, security system should be most effective for saving human life. For example, Intrusion Alarm should be fast enough to alert the user just when intruders are taking their first step into the premises rather than sensing when they have entered the premises.The essence of the system is lost if the user, present inside the premises, is alarmed only when the intruder has entered the premises. PIR motion Sensors are prone to false alarms, yet get sold very easily to an end user owing to its ease of installation. Hence, system integrators take an easy path selling these sensors rather than making an effort to understand the product & the need of the user. The same holds true for Vibration Sensors. As a result, in most of the cases, end user of Intrusion Alarm System is not satisfied and his very purpose of security is rarely met. To achieve user’s satisfaction & provide a meaningful as well as dependable Intrusion Alarm System, capable & committed manufacturers are required to back up System Integrators having the same dedication. Hence CCL works diligently towards providing an efficient, reliable,

compact and a competitive Intrusion Alarm System which offers exceptional features. The system also flaunts ease of programming and installation for new constructions as well as retrofits. Company’s aim is to grow and evolve continuously by understanding customer needs and fulfilling them through inhouse R&D and the entire emphasis is on customer satisfaction, thereby keeping competition always behind. For the same, company is looking for like minded system integrators to be able to provide a dependable security system with no nuisance of false alarm.

P PLUS Teknologix Labs is set to implement H.265/HEVC standard in its upcoming range of video surveillance devices. An immediate successor standard to H.264, H.265 standard offers various improvements over H.264. H.265 implementation has generated huge optimism given industry’s struggle with shortage of bandwidth, spectrum, storage, and imminent need to take growing HD content for multi-platform delivery. A video coding format is a content representation format for storage or transmission of digital video content (such as in a data file or bitstream). Examples of video coding formats include MPEG-2 Part 2, MPEG-4 Part 2, H.264 (MPEG-4 Part 10), HEVC, etc. The existing standard H.264 offers 40%50% bitrate reduction over MPEG-2, yet it has limitation of delivering HD content for broadcast and online. With the 4K/UltraHD cameras being introduced as a revolution in video technology, the need for improved

H.264 standard was overdue. H.265 meets the Ultra HD rendering requisite over even lesser bandwidth. H.265 or HEVC (High Efficiency Video Coding) doubles the data compression ratio compared to H.264/MPEG-4 at the same level of video quality. Alternatively, it can provide substantially improved video quality at the same bitrate. It can support 8K Ultra HD or resolutions up to 8192x4320. With the implementation of H.265 standards, CP PLUS plans to introduce a range of video surveillance devices that support H.265 decoding and deliver its benefits over 40% lesser bandwidth use.

•

Extend far greater video quality experience compared to H.264 encoded sequence at same bitrate.

•

Ability to offer higher quality video for bandwidth constrained mobile networks.

•

Realize differentiated and premium 4K content, multi-view encoding etc.

Never lose track of objects of interest In video surveillance, moving objects are usually the most significant objects of interest. Intelligent Tracking (iTracking) automatically tracks moving objects based on predefined alarm rules or a simple click. By intelligently distinguishing between single and multiple reference points, iTracking will provide uninterrupted tracking. Optimal capture of the object of interest is assured by dynamically adjusting the field of view. In addition, all AUTODOME IP 7000 HD models feature virtual masking technology. Virtual masks hide unwanted motion, such as swaying trees or pulsating lights, to improve the accuracy and performance of the cameras’ intelligent features without hiding areas from the video seen by the operator. 24/7 remote access and camera control Limited bandwidth makes it impossible to stream HD video on mobile devices whereas Dynamic Transcoding delivers both smooth live video streaming and instant access to HD (1080p) images when needed, regardless of available bandwidth. Combined with the Video Security app, users are allowed access to camera controls, live video streams and HD images via a mobile device anytime and from anywhere. It also enables you to instantly retrieve the correct video data from hours of recorded material.

The new AUTODOME IP 7000 HD models are fully supported by Dynamic Transcoding in combination with either one of the Bosch DIVAR IP recording solutions or a Bosch VIDEOJET transcoder. Lower storage costs and network strain To reduce storage costs and network strain the new AUTODOME IP starlight 7000 HD and AUTODOME IP dynamic 7000 HD cameras feature intelligent Dynamic Noise Reduction (iDNR). The benefit of this intelligent technology is that it leads to bandwidth only being used when needed. When there is little or no movement in the scene, less bitrate is required. Therefore, iDNR actively analyses the scene distinguishing between relevant information such as moving objects and image noise artifacts. The degree of noise reduction is adjusted accordingly so that important objects are captured and image noise artifacts suppressed, optimizing the camera’s bitrate. Thus, iDNR saves up to 50% on bitrate and hence storage and network strain without compromising video quality. Local storage on the camera further enhances network performance by compensating for short network outages, so ensuring that video data is continuously available in VRM systems without breaks. Dependable operation and easy installation The AUTODOME IP 7000 HD family is

available in an in-ceiling housing for areas where discrete installation is important or in a pendant version for indoor and outdoor applications. In-ceiling models feature IP54 and plenum ratings for added dust protection and the ability to mount the camera in areas used for air circulation for heating and air conditioning systems. Pendant models feature a tamper-resistant aluminium housing that is rated to IP66 and NEMA4X for uncompromised functionality even in wet environments – ensuring years of reliable performance. In addition, AUTODOME’s dual power supply design assures continuous coverage even if one power source fails. With pre-terminated, color-coded wiring and a quick-connect system between the camera and mount, AUTODOME IP 7000 HD models are faster and simpler to install than other PTZ domes. Support for High Power over Ethernet also provides power directly to the camera without additional cabling. Bosch IP standard-definition and highdefinition cameras, encoders and analytics work seamlessly with a wide range of security software and recording solutions from Bosch and many other industry providers. This is backed by ONVIF conformance (Open Network Video Interface Forum) and the Integration Partner Program (IPP), which gives developers immediate access to software development tools to easily integrate Bosch products with third-party systems.

In video surveillance, moving objects are usually the most significant objects of interest. Intelligent Tracking (iTracking) automatically tracks moving objects based on predefined alarm rules or a simple click. By intelligently distinguishing between single and multiple reference points, iTracking will provide uninterrupted tracking. Optimal capture of the object of interest is assured by dynamically adjusting the field of view. In addition, all AUTODOME IP 7000 HD models feature virtual masking technology. Virtual masks hide unwanted motion, such as swaying trees or pulsating lights, to improve the accuracy and performance of the cameras’ intelligent features without hiding areas from the video seen by the operator.

“

Intelligent Video Analysis Another differentiating feature of the AUTODOME IP 7000 HD family is built-in Intelligent Video Analysis (IVA). It helps to focus on relevant situations by alerting you when needed, or automatically track objects of interest. IVA also adds sense and structure to video data by adding metadata already in the camera. This allows the quick retrieval of the relevant images from hours of stored video. Metadata can also be used to deliver irrefutable forensic evidence or to optimize business processes based on, for example, people counting or crowd density information. By smartly using the camera’s ability to simultaneously combine 8 of the 15 available IVA rules, complex tasks are made easy and false alarms are reduced to a minimum.

odrej Security Solutions (GSS), one of the leading providers of comprehensive security solutions in India, announced the launch of its new video door phone (VDP) SEETHRU 7. This innovative product utilises your landline to call your mobile phone in case you want to talk to your visitor when you are not at home. This 7” screen VDP has a TV out option, can support multiple outdoor units, indoor monitors, CCTV cameras and contains a removable SD card for recording images/video. GSS has a long standing history of introducing innovation using consumer market insights. In the development of SEETHRU 7, the needs of the target audience were identified - as the need to be able to communicate with people who visited when no one was home to shield the elderly and children from unknown visitors. Additional insights were identified, such as, ability to answer the VDP without having to walk to the indoor unit at the door, ability to retrieve the stored images etc. The features of SeeThru 7 has been a result of understanding these consumer needs giving a “control” to the home owner when away.

On the occasion of the launch, Mehernosh B. Pithawalla, Head-Marketing, Godrej Security Solutions commented, “We are proud to launch such evolving products such as the current SEETHRU 7 video Door Phone which epitomizes Godrej Security Solution’s vision to provide innovative solutions for home security. This product not only ensures home safety but also provides additional benefits for the customer when he is not at home.” SEETHRU 7 utilises the already existing landline of the user which allows him to talk to visitors even when he away. The user only has to switch on the ‘follow me’ mode which will prompt the VDP to dial in a pre-fed telephone number whenever it is buzzed. Conventional VDP’s generally just click a photograph and store them for reference purpose. SEETHRU comes with an option to view the feed on a television, eliminating the need to walk to the unit. Upto 3 indoor monitors are supported by the device which extends the monitoring capabilities into the bedroom, kitchen, study etc. There is an

chneider Electric India had hosted an engaging panel discussion with subject matter experts to deliberate on India’s urban infrastructure and identify the building blocks for making the government’s ‘Smart Cities’ project a reality. ‘Changing India: A Smart City Revolution’ put the spotlight on the socioeconomic necessities that drive the Smart City objective, turning the table on the inadequacies of our country’s infrastructure and administrative mechanisms, and the skills that will guide the city planners, administrators and proponents to build

January 2015

and manage Smart Cities. The contour of the discussion was shaped and led by Dr R K Misra, Founder Director, Center for Smart Cities and the panellists comprised an eclectic mix of eminent dignitaries namely Nilesh Purey, Vice President, ICT, Gujarat International Finance Tec-City Co. Ltd; Shivendra Nath, Superintending Engineer (Project), Naya Raipur Development Authority; Manish Agarwal, Executive Director, Infrastructure Advisory, PWC India; Dr. Navanil Baruah, member of the Senior Leadership Council and Director of the Department of Neuro-Surgery at GNRC (formerly

Guwahati Neurological Research Centre); Anil Chaudhry, Country President & MD, Schneider Electric India; Sanjiv Rai, ViceChair-Rosenbridges Infra IFS, Chairperson and Chief Solver-Billion Innovators; and Dr. Rahul Tongia, Fellow, Brookings India; Advisor, Smart Grid Task Force, Govt. of India, Adjunct Professor, Carnegie Mellon University. The inaugural speech was delivered by Leo Apothekar, Vice-Chairman and Independent Lead Director, Schneider Electric. Apothekar said, “There are multiple components to a Smart City which need to be considered while

“

Anil Chaudhry, Country President & MD, Schneider Electric India

Mishra further set the context for the panel discussion and said that Smart Cities use infrastructure more efficiently and its four main pillars should be mobility, safety, cleanliness and being green. In the course of the discussion,Nilesh Purey shared his views on the skill sets that will enable city planners drive a Smart City project. He said, “We need to develop good skills sets and learn from the West, especially in the areas of administration and municipality. This is something that we have successfully implemented at GIFT. Every employee at GIFT has visited at least two countries to understand and learn best practices in this area.” Shivendra Nath, who will be the first overseer of India’s first Smart City, said, “We need to keep consumer happiness at the core while ensuring that whatever we do

is economically viable and gives the best output.” On the importance of PPP model in determining the success of Smart Cities, Manish Agarwal said, “PPP model is imperative for Smart City development and it should not be viewed just as a financing option. PPP brings in certain level of service commitment and offers immense scope for innovation.” Dr. Navanil Baruah gave a very interesting perspective stating that it is important for people to be healthy to realise the dream of Smart City. Healthcare should be offered at affordable rates without compromising on quality. North East has a lot to offer towards Smart City development as it is rich in mineral resource and hydropower.”

Elaborating on the challenges and resolutions of energy infrastructure, Rahul Tongia added, “India’s energy consumption is alarmingly high. Hence, these Smart Cities need to be really different. Business as usual will not work anymore. Smart grid is a journey and should be viewed only as processes in the overall scheme of things. We need to plan our processes better and this where dialogue, democracy and government should step in.” And lastly, talking about integrating technologies in a brownfield surrounding and enmeshing loopholes to achieve energy efficiency, Anil Chaudhry shared Schneider’s experience as a developer of Smart Cities. He said, “Schneider is well positioned to contribute to the government’s vision of creating 100 Smart Cities. We are already working on various Smart projects. The physical and virtual worlds now need to come together; integration is required.”

“

planning such a project. These mainly include energy, mobility, water, public services and buildings & homes. India has embarked on a very exciting mission of creating Smart Cities and we are confident that contributions from all sections of the society, public and private, can make this dream a reality. Only cities can accommodate population growth and there is a need for Smart Cities.”

Not to be left behind, Sanjiv Rai put forth some remarkable statistics that one needs to look at in order to create a true Smart City. He said that Smart City means 10% more longevity of life compared to the benchmark, 20% more efficiency and 30% more sustainability. This will automatically result in 40% more economic activity.
