CORPORATE NEWS Hikvision Continues to Excel in 2013 Security 50
Video Moving into the Avigilon Launches Perimeter Security New Global Partner Segment Program
a&s has announced Hikvision’s significant leap in their 2013 Security 50 Rankings. As of last year, Hikvision has now risen one spot from their previous #5 ranking to their current #4 - representing an overall growth of 35.6% in total sales revenue for the 2012 fiscal year. Hikvision is the world’s largest supplier of video surveillance products and solutions.
Video surveillance cameras and analytics continue to be pushed out toward the perimeter at a high rate and are becoming an integral part of electronic perimeter security solutions. According to a recent report published by IHS, the global market for intelligent devices in perimeter security applications is forecast to top $200 million in 2013.
“
Polo Cai, Vice President, Hikvision
The company specializes in video surveillance technology, as well as designing and manufacturing a full-line of innovative CCTV and video surveillance products. The product line ranges from cameras and DVRs to video management software. Since its inception in 2001, Hikvision has quickly achieved a leading worldwide market position in the security industry. Hikvision possess the world’s largest R&D team and state-of-art manufacturing facilities; both allow Hikvision’s customers the benefit of world-class products that are designed with cutting-edge technology. As further commitment to its customers, Hikvision annually reinvests 7% of its revenue into R&D for continued product innovation and improvement. 20
January 2014
“
Video and especially video analytics has been the fastest growing portion of the perimeter security industry since before 2010. Prior to this time, perimeter security applications mostly offered detection without verification or identification. Perimeter security integration with video is proving to be a great enhancement in terms of efficiency and the reduction of false alarms.
“
We are truly honored to be recognized by Security 50 once again. This noteworthy achievement proves Hikvision’s continuous efforts in both R&D innovation and quality control for our entire product portfolio. Hikvision will continue focusing our energies towards high-quality products and solutions for our customers. This includes in-depth local services that maintain a leading position in the global market and shape a new overall image of the Chinese manufacturing.
Historically, sensors have been the primary means of detection for perimeter security applications. In recent years; however, there has been a growing trend for cameras and analytics to be used in addition to sensors on a perimeter. The perimeter security industry has always been based on layers, so the addition of video only reinforces this ideology. Identification of intruders has become one of the most talked about trends in recent months for perimeter security. This trend is partly being driven by the demand to lower false alarms, lower costs and the ability to provide patrols and guards in the field with real time information on the location and status of an intruder. And now, end-users have several options for identification.

Our partners are a key contribution to our continued success. As our network of partners grows we want to have the tools in place to strengthen these relationships, reward and celebrate their success and offer support for future growth.

The Rise of HD Video Surveillance Cameras Spurs Information Explosion
Emerson Network Power Identifies Three Areas of Opportunity
Milestone Ranked as One of the Top Security Industry Players in Security 50
The extra-ordinary deluge of data in the surveillance business is being triggered by a flood of new highdefinition (HD) video cameras entering the market, according to the new report entitled “Enterprise and IP Storage used for Video Surveillance” from IHS Inc. . With shipments of such cameras continuing to rise, the daily data dump is expected to more than double in just four years, expanding to 859 PB in 2017. The overwhelming quantity of information will promote the use of technologies that are designed to handle and process big data in the surveillance market, IHS predicts.
Emerson Network Power, a business of Emerson and a global leader in maximizing availability, capacity and efficiency of critical infrastructure, has identified three areas of opportunity colocation (colo) facilities must flawlessly meet to motivate more data center owners to move some or all applications to a colo.
Milestone is once again ranked in the international “Security 50 ranking” by a&s magazine. It is the third time Milestone Systems has been ranked as one of the top security industry players. Based on 2012 company information, Milestone was number 37 in the “Security 50 ranking” compared to number 43 only one year earlier.
“
Sam Grinter, Senior Surveillance Analyst, IHS
The surveillance business is adopting several technologies designed to accommodate and mitigate the rising tide of data.
Peter Panfil, vice president, global power, Emerson Network Power
In spite of the substantial cost and other advantages, not all data center owners who would benefit from doing so have chosen to use colos. In a 2012 Data Center Knowledge report, 49 percent of enterprise data center respondents said they used colos in some capacity, 3 percent were testing the concept and 9 percent planned to adopt within 24 months. The remaining 38 percent had no plans to adopt colocation. To make colocation feasible for data center owners, the colo must be able to meet all the requirements of an in-house data center at lower cost and increased speed while delivering better reliability.
a&s interviewed the industry’s top players about the trends in network video surveillance in 2014: “To provide an easy-to-use, plugand-play IP video solution, we see more suppliers who want to provide a ’VMS pre-installed’ appliance.
“
2012 was another strong year for Milestone and our partners’ business and 2013 looks strong as well, featuring several new industry innovations. We introduced Milestone Husky, a series of pre-installed appliances, and the Customer Dashboard, an online service which generates recurring revenue opportunities for partners. We also launched Milestone Arcus, a multi-platform VMS solution for partners own offerings.
“
HD-compliant products are set to account for an increasing share of video surveillance camera shipments during the next four years. These cameras are gaining acceptance because the quality of their video can be superior to standardresolution products that formerly dominated the market. But because each HD camera produces far more data than each standarddefinition camera, the quantity of data generated by the surveillance market is growing to massive proportions.
For most businesses, running a data center is not a core competency. So, as data centers have grown in importance, complexity and cost, and many have outgrown capacity, colocation has become an increasingly attractive option. Organizations now may choose the colo business model – from boutique purposebuilt colos to Remote Managed IT services (RMIT) to colos that offer cloud services – that provides the level and type of services they need.

W.E. Wroldsen, Managing Director, CP PLUS
Analog video is a universal standard and has been there for several decades in the industry. In fact, the surveillance deployments are still majorly dominated by analog solutions. Although surveillance technology and its market are undergoing a profound change, the IP solution is popular due to its High Definition image quality and less generation losses. Knowing these facts, analog surveillance still admired due to its affordability, vast existing market, easy to install (Plug-n-Play) features. It has been observed that system Integrators/customers face barriers in analog solution especially where high definition video is demanded by the customers. They generally demand for high quality images at affordable cost. At the time of any incident, the surveillance solution should not only be able to detect but also capture minute details of the same. In addition to this, analog surveillance does not support long co-axial cables for video transmission. Despite this fact, long distance cables are being used, resulting in poor video quality.

The fire incident usually take place in crowded places where usually people unknowingly tend to do some actions which lead to fire hazards for instance; smoking in the theatre premises or may be unmaintained fire detector or fire alarm in public places which fails to work when there is fire in the surrounding; during such incidents
it is important for people to be aware of the situation the precautions to be taken during the fire hazard in public place. The causes of fire could be many such as electric short circuiting, ignition etc. It is established fact that the origin of fire may not be that much dangerous and hazardous but it tends to become harmful and hazardous

when it grows into a destruction and massive fire. The hazard caused into the public places ends up with a huge destruction as there are number of combustible products and materials in the open surroundings which allow fire to grow bigger. For one such recent incident of fire which broke down at Andheri in October 2013, where a massive fire incident took place which was the major destruction for the people residing in the premises. The fire incident caused harm to thousands of people in the locality. The cause of fire was all the basic household materials which are easily combustible material like wooden furniture, electric wiring and other household materials lead to the fire accident in the residential locality, it almost took three hours for the fire fighters to bring down the fire under control. Such fire hazard can be mainly due to the negligence of the fire precaution and safety measures by the people. According to M.V.

an alarm, according to a recent study by Honeywell , conducted by Indian Market Research Bureau (IMRB). The study, conducted to raise awareness of the important role that the public plays in fire safety, also showed an overall lack of training or awareness for both workers and visitors in these facilities, with nearly 50 percent of workers saying they have not participated in a fire drill or other safety training exercise. Nearly 80 percent of visitors responded that they were not aware of fire alarm procedures indicating a lack of visible signage and instructions. Fire safety awareness is a crucial factor in avoiding fire-related
incidents, and businesses, workers and visitors to their facilities need to equip themselves with basic safety knowledge, as well as ensure that the systems protecting them are appropriately designed for the risk they are protecting against. According to the National Crime Records Bureau, a total of 24,232 deaths in 2010-11, or 6.3% of total deaths in India, were due to fire accidents. “Most injury and fatalities from fire 2 incidents happen due to lack of awareness about what to do in case of a fire alarm as well as lack of preparedness by facility owners,” said D.K.

Government of India. “Per the Fire Act, we have a legal and moral obligation to employees to secure them against the risk of fire.” In hospitals, nearly 40 percent of employees are unaware of fire evacuation procedures. This represents a serious life-or-death situation because hospital employees are accountable for evacuation of patients and visitors. The situation isn’t much better in commercial buildings. Nearly half of employees working in shopping malls and more than half of office workers were not aware of fire evacuation procedures, signaling a simple opportunity to improve on worker and visitor safety at these facilities. And the situation gets much worse in homes: 85 percent of the respondents said their home residence lacked a fire alarm system or detection device. “To avoid catastrophic situations due to a fire employers and building owners need to have appropriate fire alarm systems, and also conduct regular training for employees and have appropriate signage in place for visitors,” said Harish Vellat, Regional

As a leading provider of fire systems, Honeywell Life Safety, in consultation with D. K. Shami, offers the following tips to help facility owners and individuals know what to do in the event of an emergency:
FOR INDIVIDUALS: • Always identify emergency exit signs in your workplace and other locations you visit; • Always follow evacuation procedures when you hear a fire alarm; • Have a family evacuation plan at home, and teach your kids to follow fire alarm drills and evacuation procedures at home and school;
FOR FACILITY OWNERS: • Create an emergency preparedness plan for your facility and ensure compliance with all fire protection and fire safety requirements; • Regularly test fire emergency systems; • Conduct regular training and mock exercises of evacuation with your employees; • Ensure your emergency exit signage is posted, clearly visible and prepare for visually or hearing impaired individuals; • In addition to a basic fire alarm,
Ask your kids’ school authorities to ensure fire safety implementation with appropriate evacuation plan, regular fire safety drills, and installation and maintenance of fire safety equipment.

All the metro cities in India are adopting City surveillance. a&s India explores the state of City surveillance projects in India while speaking to all the key stakeholders.

VERTICAL MARKET
S
ince the Mumbai terrorist attacks in 2008, city surveillance has become a high priority for India. Video surveillance equipment has been sold for a number of city surveillance projects in recent years, including Bangalore and Kolkata. Many more city surveillance projects are planned for the future. India has 28 states, most with a capital city and a number of other large cities, and video surveillance is being planned for many of them. Advanced plans for city surveillance are already in place for some, including Surat and Ahmedabad. A large project in Mumbai has been delayed many times, but is now expected to begin in late 2012. OPPORTUNITIES AND CHALLENGES According to Yogesh B. Dutta, Sr. Vice President, Aditya Infotech, “City Surveillance is a broader term, however, the key objective of City Surveillance is to put law & order in place with respect to not only observe people and vehicle movements but also to reduce the ill effects of burgeoning societies menace such as molestation, vandalism, criminal activities etc.” He further added, “Today, cities are rapidly growing and population is increasing day-by-day. It is not practically feasible for law & enforcement agencies to reach everywhere however; they can keep an eye on strategic locations around the city.” The major challenge in implementing the city surveillance project is to follow the multi-body guidelines given by different nodal agencies, hence the entire process gets stretched and chances of delays in implementation become more.
38
January 2014
According to Shakti Leekha, Sr GM & Head –IBMS, Bajaj Electricals, “The biggest challenge in city surveillance projects in india are one agency who owns and drives this , Municipality, PWD , City Development agencies or Police (Law enforcement agencies), Expectations from each and more often than not unrealistic expectations eg facial recognition, Clarity on Project timelines and deadlines, and evolving technology . He further added, “Opportunities however are this market only opened post 26/11, since Ram Pradhan committee recommended CCTV cover for Mumbai city in 2009. Since then cities like Surat, Raipur, Patna, Junagadh and many more are attempting to deploy. As this catches on cities which have deployed see value, this will keep growing.” There has to be one security regulatory body that will ensure the implementation of the city surveillance project as per the desired guidelines. According to William Ku, Vice President, International Business Division, VIVOTEK, “City Surveillance or Safe City concept has been implemented around the world. It has recently been introduced in India. Police or government agencies is evaluating the procedure of implementation of city surveillance projects on the basis of many parameters like the prevailing crime rates, the extent of urbanization, threats from terrorism and disasters, Important establishments of that State, etc that can accentuate the need for adopting a safe city project. An integrated surveillance system provides a safe and secure environment for the development and growth of these aspects.” If we talk about City Surveillance project opportunities in India, it is huge in coming years. Only few
cites in India has implemented city surveillance and that also in small areas. As per Government of India plan, MHA (Ministry Of Home Affairs) is providing funds to state police forces for modernization and city surveillance is part of this initiative. Even Big metro like, Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore, Chennai also still not fully secured in safe city project initiative of GOI(Government of India). The government faces many challenges at the department level while implementing the safe city project. Some of the policy challenges that come up during the implementation phase of the project, and which need immediate attention are as follows: • High value of tax duties on importing security equipments initiative. • Fund requirements by the state as well as the central government for investing in safe city • Shortage of trained manpower within the state police force “City Surveillance is becoming a prime concern in all the major cities of India because of the increased terrorist attacks, thefts, murders in public etc. Huge investments in city surveillance are required to be done in metro and small cities so that crimes do not become a hindrance to the progress of the city,” observed Kaushal Kadakia, Product Owner – Video Surveillance Solutions, Matrix Comsec “Market is full of cheap video surveillance solutions which are ineffective in offering genuine security cover to the users. One of the major challenges in city surveillance projects is that often a cheap video surveillance solution is deployed mainly on the ground of its price, compromising the security cover to its citizens. The users should not equate security in terms

of price rather they should pay more attention to the quality and security deliverables.” said Kaushal Kadakia.
Surveillance as a enabler for Safe city and safe city as a enabler for smarter city,“ said Shakti Leekha.
According to Avinash Trivedi, Head – Business Development, Videonetics Technology, “India offers tremendous business opportunities in the city surveillance verticals since the Security System Deployment has been at its minimal. With rising threat levels, more & more cities would opt for such a system. Some of the large cities like, Kolkata, Ahmedabad, Surat, Delhi, and Bhopal etc. are actively using such system.”
According to Sudhindra Holla, Country Manager, Axis Communications, India, “City surveillance is a critical part of the public security requirement owing to the concerns and unpleasant incidents ranging from minor thefts and chain-snatching to violent crimes of trafficking, terror attacks and burglaries. With a huge area and a vast population of more than a billion, keeping an eye on the entire country like India through security personnel and police force is daunting. Surveillance can act as an important tool for fighting crime and protecting citizens and their properties from the miscreants and unwanted accidents.”
He further added, “However other large & prominent cities are yet to even initiate the process of tendering!! While the opportunities are tremendous, the challenges are also manifold for example, lack of technical understanding of the agency spearheading the project, no “rule book” to turn to when it comes to project designing or requirement finalization, no uniformity/neutrality of specs resulting in vendor driven, fit to budget system rather than a system which is actually needed for etc. Besides them, the capability of chosen system integrator or installing agency to deliver such system is a big concern.” EVOLVING TRENDS “World over we see that City

surveillance projects often do not receive sufficient funding, causing delays in deployments. Another common problem is connectivity. Residential areas, city perimeters do not have proper connectivity for video surveillance. Integrating the surveillance system with other security systems is yet another issue commonly seen. Another issue seen post- implementation is that of failing cameras and components.” City surveillance can be further split into various categories: Traffic surveillance – With countless roads and streets in each city, monitoring traffic violations and accidents can be a challenge. Surveillance can help scrutinize traffic violations, accidents, suspicious vehicles, smuggling, etc. Monitoring population/ People counting – Surveillance solutions can help to keep a headcount of a particular area, traffic in the area, etc Crime detection and prevention
“
City surveillance is the third eye of Police as it is considered a significant tool for our police departments to manage metropolitan center locations, aiming to reduce criminal activities in the city. City surveillance equips the police officials to access feeds from command centers when responding to an incident, making them to take quick action and coordinate efficiently within the system.

Monitoring critical infrastructure, transport and other facilities – Places such as malls, railway stations, airports, sea ports, legal establishments and stadiums are high risk areas which face constant threat from terrorists and thieves. Surveillance will help control the crime rates and nab the offenders. Thus, surveillance can improve the lives of the people and enable the authorities to fight crime and create a secure environment.

– With real time alerts and updates, the city police can track suspicious individuals which will help prevent terror attacks, burglaries, kidnapping etc. Unexpected occurrences – During unfortunate calamities such as fire or flood, surveillance solutions would help monitor how many people are stuck in an area and where the rescue team should focus on. Crowd monitoring and control – When political meetings or riots and protests occur, surveillance can help in observing the crowd behaviour.
High quality IP based surveillance system: IP based surveillance system is becoming the most ideal option in terms of city surveillance. IP based surveillance system is enabled by Ethernet technology, which facilitates the smooth communication among connected devices in the integrated and intelligent infrastructure. Whenever an event or traffic accidents being monitored on road by IP cameras, the alert notification will be triggered and disseminated to the related parties. Moreover, considering the changing lighting conditions from day to night and the harsh, unpredictable weather conditions, cameras with weather proof protection and superior low-light technology is becoming the prerequisite.
VERTICAL MARKET sense, population, multiplicity of authorities to get permission from, unique traffic conditions to name a few. It is a common understanding that a system design or idea which might be working successfully in US or Europe may not work in India due to its unique characteristics”, said Avinash Trivedi. SECURITY STRATEGY “City surveillance is the third eye of Police as it is considered a significant tool for our police departments to manage metropolitan center locations, aiming to reduce criminal activities in the city. City surveillance equips the police officials to access feeds from command centers when responding to an incident, making them to take quick action and coordinate efficiently within the system.” said Yogesh B. Dutta. He further added, “Once the city surveillance project is implemented, it is significant to maintain and optimize the solution completely by the professionally trained workforce at the command control centers. There has been strong coordination between command control center and designated police officials around the city.” “It should cover all entry points, exit points, transportation systems (Airports, Rail, Metro, Road Junctions), critical Infrastructures, city centers and Enterprise campuses,” said Shakti Leekha. “Unlike indoor locations, where most variables can be held within narrow and predictable ranges, outdoor locations strain video surveillance to its limits. Outdoor security systems are required to endure exposure to wind, rain, variations in temperature (from extreme heat to extreme cold), humidity, dust, vibration, corrosive 42

environments and acts of vandalism – and those systems that fail to live up to these requirements can pose a serious security risk.” said Sudhindra Holla. He further added, “It is imperative that outdoor cameras have the highest build quality possible to cope with the full assault of the weather from freezing snow storms to dusty, hot deserts. Since outdoor cameras are often located in difficult to reach places, reliability is key as maintenance or replacement can be expensive, time-consuming and difficult.” Implementation of a safe city project is a challenging process in India. It requires participation, inputs as well as ideas from a wide range of stakeholders. It is required that all the stakeholders like Police, State Authorities & Municipal should work in synchronization and help to implement the city surveillance project in better way. System Integrators plays major role in implementation and strong knowledgeable team of SI can implement in desired manner. “At a macro level, the broad objectives & requirements from a city surveillance system should be made clear. Accordingly specification finalization, proof of concepts, performance benchmarking, and
procurement & implementation methodology should be decided. I am of the opinion that phase wise implementation instead of a big bang approach is always successful. This way, the results are seen at a much faster way and at a much lower cost.” said Avinash Trivedi. SOLUTIONS According to Shakti Leekha, “Bajaj Electricals as a company is providing illumination solutions for cities and first step for Surveillance is illumination, beyond Illumination Bajaj IBMS has full range of CCTV Surveillance solutions and have provided the same in many entry and exit points of cities like via PSEPL or GMR along with our High Mast lighting at the Toll Nakas. The other beauty of our surveillance are we can integrate the same with Lighting and create a more sustainable green solution with Solar power lighting and cameras.” According to Sudhindra Holla, “Axis provides future-proof surveillance solutions that expand with the needs. With Axis’ razor sharp detail on video, motion detection and tamper-proof cameras, cities can become safer place for living. Axis’ products are easy to install and use, cost-effective and durable.

However the basic need remains law & order control.” said Avinash Trivedi.
According to Sudhindra Holla, “While city surveillance in India is still a very niche market, as the market is yet to mature compared to the surveillance in other parts of the world. However, we are witnessing increase in penetration in the last couple of years. There is a 30 - 35% penetration of IP in India compared to global average of 50 - 55%.

According Kaushal Kadakia, “SATATYA HVRs (Hybrid Video Recorders) are a comprehensive range of video surveillance solutions which utilize the cost benefits of analog as well as security enhancements of IP as both analog and IP cameras can be connected. Areas like aerodromes, railway stations, shopping malls etc. can be set up with IP cameras and other areas like market places, hotels etc. can be set up with analog cameras. Thus, a cost-effective solution can be provided due to which priority wise cameras can be installed.” He further added,”The SATATYA CADRP700VL90SW is the PTZ camera that our company provides. The range covered by these cameras is very efficient to monitor high priority areas like railway stations, shopping malls etc. The 30x optical zooming capability can help in enhanced monitoring of specific areas.” “Videonetics is the first Indian Software Development Company to provide Integrated Visual Computing Platform.

CITY SURVEILLANCE PROJECT According to William Ku, “We have done many city surveillance projects, such as Taipei city in Taiwan, City of Phoenix and City of Wilkes-Barre in the US, Beni-Suief in Egypt, and city of Donetsk in Ukraine.” One of VIVOTEK’s significant city surveillance applications is in Donetsk, Ukraine. Cooperating with Donetsk Municipal government, VIVOTEK’s solutions, with high video quality, low light technology, and weather-proof housing, were chosen implemented and enhanced the security of the city. Because of the installation of VIVOTEK’s network cameras, in 2012, 200 criminal incidents-including 7 hijackings-were monitored and revealed. Footage was captured of 45 drivers who left the scene of accidents they had caused. Recorded video even helped parents find their lost children during the games of EURO 2012 held at Donbass Arena. VIVOTEK’s surveillance system made it possible to discover crimes and safeguard the people and facilities in the city. According to Avinash Trivedi, “Videonetics Integrated Visual Computing Platform has been implemented successfully in few cities including “Alipore (Kolkata) Safe City Project.

the security deposit of Sai Infotech Systems. According to Maharashtra government sources, Sai Infotech System was chosen among bidders for Mumbai City surveillance Project but the company could not take it forward. The Maharashtra Government is negotiating with the second bidder, AGC, which submitted an offer of around Rs 1,000 crore for the estimated Rs 864-crore CCTV surveillance cover for Mumbai. Sai InfoTech Systems “underquoted the bid at Rs 700 crore.” Chief minister Prithviraj Chavan had hinted in the ongoing Maharashtra assembly session that the CCTV project’s fate hangs in the balance. The government is now looking to explore an alternative model, preferably along the lines of the one being adopted in Delhi. The Maharashtra government has seized the security deposit of the contractor Sai InfoTech Systems. The company had submitted a false financial instrument for the CCTV surveillance network project in Mumbai. Sai InfoTech Systems had submitted a cheque of over Rs 2 crore as deposit for a bank guarantee after reaching an agreement with the state.
But the cheque bounced, prompting the government to contemplate, for a while, action under section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act.
Surat Police to monitor the entire city, a 280sqft Delta videowall has been installed in the command and control room at police headquarters.
According to Maharashtra Government sources, “At present, the case does not merit an FIR under the Negotiable Instruments Act, so we have seized the security deposit. We think it is better to channel our energies on negotiating with the second bidder, instead of going after this contractor,”
The videowall is driven by Delta’s Icon Pro controller and wall management software which will display the coverage of the CCTV cameras installed across the city. The display solution can handle data from various sources, including the display of city maps when required. This aims to provide reports on such matters as physical security, fire alarms, water levels and disaster recovery.
SAFE CITY PROJECT SURAT City-wide surveillance projects are becoming increasingly prevalent in large cities as law-enforcement agencies seek to ensure the safety of the public by monitoring each part of the city. Widely known as the Diamond City, and one of the major commercial hubs in India, Surat – in the north-western state of Gujarat – is to become the country’s first city to be covered under electronic surveillance. However, with its large population and concentration of key industries, such as diamonds, textiles, engineering, and oil and gas, providing comprehensive surveillance of traffic and public safety in the city is a major undertaking.
LED illumination offers an array of performance enhancements – both in image quality and cost of ownership. There is an increase in perceived brightness as LEDs deliver much more saturated colours. Delta’s LED-lit videowalls are said to be the brightest in the market.
cameras at 23 locations, mainly at entry and exit points, at the airport, railway stations, bus stands, main markets, and at all main traffic junctions. HD CCTV footage is visible constantly on the videowall, and any incidents, including road accidents or crimes, are relayed real time to the control centre. The video surveillance system will help in the proactive addressing of any terror threats, effective traffic management and the improvement of safety in the city. Eventually the project aim is to deploy a network of 5,000 surveillance cameras at 500 locations that will cover an area of 150sqkm. The project was inaugurated by the Chief Minister of Gujarat, Shri Narendra Modi. In his address, the CM praised the initiative taken by Surat City Police and highlighted the benefits of the technology for betterment of people’s lives.

T
he world security market is still growing quite healthily. In 2013, we found that growth was driven by Asia and other emerging countries. End users have become more aware of their security spending. Under the uncertain economy, security players are striving to improve ROI for customers.
ASIA TO LEAD BY END OF DECADE The global security market stayed strong during the recession, compared to other industries. The global
industry for physical security equipment and services was worth US$110 billion in 2012 with the Americas accounting for more than 40 percent of the overall market, according to research from IHS. “Now with the general improvement in the global economy, we expect total industry revenue to reach $170 billion a year by 2017, even though growth rates will probably peak before then,” wrote David Green, Senior Analyst for Video Surveillance and Security Services at IHS in a prepared statement. According to IHS’ forecast in Chart 1, the U.S. will grow approximately 43 percent from 2012 to 2017, while Asia’s growth is at 80 percent and EMEA around 42

SPECIAL FEATURE percent. Asia will overtake North America as the biggest security market at the end of the decade. Memoori also found “the developed markets of North America and Europe are losing market share to Asia and particularly China, which will be the largest single market by the end of this decade.”
2013 KEEPS HEALTHY GROWTH, BUT CLOUDED BY UNCERTAIN ECONOMY The global security industry in 2013 maintained healthy growth, compared to a sloppy 2012. Security product production around the world was valued at $23.4 billion in 2013, up from $20.6 billion in 2012, according to Memoori. The growth rate from 2012 to 2013 is about 13 percent. The state of the global security market in 2013 was similar to 2012 — flat growth in North America and Western Europe, but promising growth in emerging regions, especially Asia. The challenges of 2013, such as limited spending in the public sector and an uncertain world economy, will still affect the global security market in 2014. However, growth factors in the industry for 2013 will flourish in 2014, despite these challenges. We found more traditional security companies were able
2014 will show whether security can provide cost-effective solutions for end users and drive sales in retrofit projects. to catch up with IP-based technologies, after channel restructuring in previous years. Greater penetration of IT industry players into the security field resulted in steady growth. Meanwhile, incidents such as campus shootings, the Boston Marathon blast, Brazilian riots before the Olympics, and social turmoil in the Middle East have resulted in heightened security. Education and sporting events could drive security demand in 2014.
2014: IMPROVING CUSTOMER ROI Even though security should not be compromised in every market sector, markets are all affected by the uncertain economy, especially in North America and Western Europe. The number of new projects in all market sectors is decreasing or getting postponed. This can also be observed in some emerging countries this year. Because of budget constraints, end users are aware of ROI from security systems. 2014 will show whether security can provide cost-effective solutions for end users and drive sales in retrofit projects.

New Technologies to Improve ROI Companies compete to offer new technologies and solutions to improve ROI for end users. The retail and SMB sectors have started to adopt more new technologies — IP video surveillance and intelligent video — for marketing and business intelligence. Some growth in retail and other SMB sectors in 2014 can be expected. Market analyst TechNavio forecast the global intelligent video surveillance market in the retail industry to grow 27.1 percent over the period 2012 to 2016. One of the key factors is the increasing demand for better image quality and affordable price point for IP intelligent video. Major systems integrator, Tyco Integrated Security, is boosting its midsize market presence with more open and integrated architecture VMS. “Up-market retail shops and groups are moving to take much more advanced high resolution IP solutions to replace old analog systems. More up-markets look at real need rather than just meeting minimum cost,” said Michael Lines, Advanced Technology Consultant of Controlled, a systems integrator from the U.K. Benjamin Crook, a specialist security consultant, from the U.K. also pointed out, “More and more will the need for advanced surveillance equipment be called for not only for the purpose of crime prevention and detection, but also for more cost-effective and long-term security solutions, such as facial recognition, live-feeds of numerous establishments to a single, external security control room, and crime

SPECIAL FEATURE Memoori Forecasts Global Security Market to Reach US $32.2 Billion by 2017, from $23.4 Billion in 2013 Contributed by Allan McHale, Director of Memoori Business Intelligence The total value of world production of security products at factory gate prices in 2013 was US$23.4 billion. Of this, video surveillance products at US$12.3 billion took a share of 52 percent; access control at $5.1 billion took a 22 percent share and intruder alarms at $6 billion had a 26 percent share. Comparing these figures with 2008, the world market has grown at a rate of around 4.5 percent over the last five years. This is very good, given the poor economic trading conditions that have prevailed for much of that time. The two major drivers have been a 12 percent aggregate growth in video surveillance and higher levels of demand in Asia, which has increased its share to more than 39 percent for all physical security systems. Growth has been much more modest in North America and Western Europe; currently the developed markets of Europe, Scandinavia, and North America take some 47 percent of the value of the business, 2 percent down from last year. Memoori is forecasting a growth rate of 8 percent over the next five-year period, with the market reaching $32.2 billion
detection methods like smart water technology. The rise in this technology will gradually affect the need for physical manned guarding.”
Integrated Functions are the Key According to several interviews with systems integrators, they confirmed end users want integrated systems. When they purchase an access control or alarm system, they usually think of video surveillance integration to improve the ROI. Therefore, from the access control and alarm point of view, video has become a deciding factor for customers. For instance, bundling video surveillance functions with identity management has become a trend for many multinational

by 2017. This could be considered optimistic but there is an enormous latent demand waiting to be exploited in the emerging markets of the world. In Europe, public sector budgets will be trimmed to help pay off sovereign debt. This will result in an almost certain decline in demand in the public sector across several EU countries. However the fast growing markets of Asia and other BRIC countries will continue to expand. The security industry is in a much healthier state with a product portfolio that can deliver more attractive opportunities for clients to improve security and at the same time profit from it. The industry is wringing out more sales and investment dollars than could be expected given the poor trading conditions across the globe. Its robust performance is not the direct result of increased concern about crime and terrorism but is the fact that the industry is delivering products and services that meet customer value propositions such as increasing productivity, reducing operating costs while delivering an improving ROI. This is gradually changing the buyer culture from believing that physical security is a pure cost center to a profit center and elevating its importance in the fight for capital investment. Based on Memoori’s analysis, this renaissance is being led by a small band of companies that are relatively “new starts” in the business. They have taken the opportunity to use emerging technologies to produce products that can deliver on customer’s requirements.
solutions. Meanwhile, adding network access to physical access control could also be another selling point. For traditional alarms, increased camera resolution helps alarm systems to become more reliable and stable, reducing the number of false alarms. Cloud-based technologies also move customers toward ROI. Mobile app-enabled technologies to enhance remote control and monitoring are must-haves for 2014 video solutions. The “mobile” trend also brings momentum to access control and home monitoring.
Technologies for Retrofit Projects in Demand In 2014, another theme is retrofitting.
In video surveillance, more companies are providing open, easy-to-install, and pre-installed management software to access specific market sectors, especially SMBs to upgrade their analog systems to IP. Some market sectors expect HD-SDI growth for retrofit projects. However, growth varies by geographic region and specific market needs. For retrofit projects, wireless cameras, electronic locks, and alarm detectors are becoming popular options whenever cabling is a problem. However, integrators should make sure the technologies are stable and ready to deploy.
SPECIAL FEATURE SECURITY-AS-A-SERVICE TAKES OFF While more IP-based products are adopted by different sectors, end users are encountering difficulties in in-house operation and maintenance. Many integrators said their customers have started to rely more on technical support from them for IP-based security solutions. Therefore, they are willing to pay more monthly service fees to outsource their security headaches. Some major systems integrators have seen their recurring monthly revenue (RMR) increase each year. “End users are increasingly looking to us to provide security as a service,” said Johnson Controls. Diebold is also another example. As a well-known ATM solution and service provider, Diebold has changed itself from a product-focused company to a service-centric company. In its 2011 revenue breakdown, services accounted for 55 percent of revenue, while products made up 45 percent. Its business is also engaging in more outsourcing services for banking.
The global security market stayed strong during the recession, compared to other industries.

Lines said, “We meet the challenge of how to maintain profits by providing better solutions and services for a lower end user cost.” Memoori's research showed that “the value of product passing through the distributor channel has fallen off drastically from over 50 percent in 2006 to around 30 percent in 2011. Their market share has been taken by direct sales to resellers, system integrators and solution providers which have increased share to approximately 50 percent in 2011.” IHS also found that the “top 15 companies together only just managed a market share of just above 20 percent, with the remainder of the market — more than 78 percent — is up for grabs among thousands of other companies.” The security industry outperforms other industries, but the market is competitive with many different players. The traditional box-moving distributors no longer exist, replaced by valuedadded resellers. That shows channel players are competing as well. It goes without saying that manufacturers face a crowded field. All players should be extra cautious, keeping in mind their customers regardless of the solution and service.
CASE STUDY Junagadh Police Improve City Vigilance with Axis Solutions. Junagadh Police implemented City Surveillance project with help of eSec Security Consultants for Real-time surveillance of critical city areas and crime prevention. Solution provides 24/7 monitoring of critical areas of city, helping detect and deter criminal activities. SUBMITTED BY AXIS COMMUNICATIONS
The Superintendent of Police (SP) of district of Junagadh was looking for a video surveillance solution for the city for two primary reasons – first to keep a watch on terrorist and antisocial activities in the city and secondly to assist the police departments as a proactive tool to detect and deter criminal elements.
SOLUTION
The first phase of the project was implemented to help monitor all major entry and exit points as well as other critical areas of the city of Junagadh. The solution consisted of AXIS P1343 and AXIS 215 PTZ-E Network Cameras, chosen for their high quality images and ease of installation. These were installed at eight different locations spread all over the city of Junagadh. The solution also included the implementation of a complete wireless monitoring and storage facility at the Superintendent of Police headquarters in Junagadh.
RESULT
The Axis surveillance solution deployed across the city of Junagadh has helped the law enforcement authorities to monitor remote locations, including the city entry/exit points and bypass roads, directly from the Superintendent of Police headquarters. The solution helps to monitor strategic places such as a dam and places
of religious importance which are potential terrorist targets. Junagadh Police Department’s efforts to use state of the art technology integration was recognized by the Director General of Police of State of Gujarat and further fund allocation has been sanctioned to be utilized in further upgrades of this initiative.
“
We were looking to execute a surveillance system across Junagadh city to help supplement the police personnel’s efforts in monitoring the critical city areas. It was prohibitively costly to use fiber connectivity or connectivity offered by telecom or ISP companies. We did not have the budget to pay recurrent amount year on year for data usage. eSec brought in their own wireless solution along with Axis network cameras. The installation has been able to successfully fulfill our requirements by significantly reducing the need for onsitepatrolling through its remote monitoring benefits.

CASE STUDY Nanded Safe City – An Innovative Experiment Nanded Safe City project turned out to be an innovative experiment in terms of addressing local issues with state-of-the-art video surveillance and host of other integrated security systems and tecnologies. BY PRASAD PATIL, DIRECTOR AND SENIOR CONSULTANT, MIPL
(NWCMC) should be given the task of implementing the project and handing it over to the Nanded Police for continual use. Immediately, NWCMC engaged MIPL, a leading security consultant, to prepare a detailed project report. Ably guided in the process by Mr. D. Sivanandhan, (ex-DGP, Maharashtra), MIPL recommended that instead of a just a “city surveillance project”, a “Safe City Project” (SCP) should be implemented in Nanded. The elements of such a project would be:
A
sleepy town about 600 kilometers perfectly east from Mumbai, Nanded came into national prominence in the year 2008 with the holding of the Guruta-Gaddi, tercentennial celebrations to mark the consecration of Guru Granth Sahib, as the eternal guru of the Sikhs by Guru Gobind Singh. Of course, in Maharashtra, Nanded is also more politically known as the town or district, which has given two chief ministers to the state. To the enterprising Sikh community, Nanded has been an important place of worship for hundreds of years due to the presence of the Gurudwara. Guru-ta-gaddi brought several things to Nanded, its citizens and the governing agencies – a huge honour, a sense of responsibility and government funding. Most of the funding was utilized in upgrading the civic infrastructure – roads, drainage systems, electric lines, water supply pipes, river embankments. The national event also brought a sense
56
January 2014
of awareness and aspiration in the citizenry, which forced the governing agencies and the politicians to respond to, by continuing to introduce and implement better programs of governance. For a few years now, Nanded has also been on the radar of intelligence agencies due to the perceived presence of, and in a few cases, the capture of a few extremist elements locally. A couple of terrorists captured recently hailed from Nanded and this was a concern that needed to be addressed. As a city, Nanded witnesses a huge influx of religious tourists several times in a year, which does put a considerable strain on the security establishment. The growing security concerns were recognized early by the proactive establishment and thus, it was decided that a city surveillance project should be introduced in the city, to complement the police machinery. It was decided that the Nanded Waghala City Municipal Corporation

Command & Control Infrastructure Emergency Response Software PTZ and Night Vision Fixed Cameras Emergency Vehicle Tracking System Distress Communication Integration with other civic systems
MIPL stressed the need for an integrated, scalable and robust command and control infrastructure that would address the security concerns in a rapidly urbanizing space and also provide an efficient response in an emergency or a disaster. The project is now close to completion and will be one of the first, true Safe City Projects to be commissioned in India. Here are a few learnings from the project that can be applied to any other Safe City Project being conceptalised:
ITS NOT JUST ABOUT CCTV
CCTVs are but one component in a safe city project. There are many surveillance projects which are being planned in India, without understanding that CCTVs alone do not
CASE STUDY integrate with any other digital alert system, so that the control room is a single place where all safety and security alerts can be received and acted upon.
WORLD CLASS COMPONENTS
make a city safe. Thus a good SCP will use surveillance cameras intelligently but also in combination and wellcomplemented by other security technologies. Also, when using CCTV, do not just take PTZ cameras – their application and utility is grossly over appreciated.
START SMALL, BUT PLAN BIG
When a security project is planned, the scale can become unwieldy – and we have seen that in India, this has been a problem. Indian security companies do not currently have the ability to manage very large security projects – and that’s a fact. When governments plan on safe city projects, it is important not to go overboard – its better to undertake a phased implementation with each phase showing tangible and measurable benefits. However, that does mean that the project has to be designed appropriately, so that scalability it built into the design.
SAFE CITY MAKES SENSE
to take such projects to the logical conclusion.
DISASTER “PREVENTION” ALONGWITH “INCIDENT RESPONSE”
The term “Disaster Management” is just not a good term – you cant “manage” disasters – you can only manage the response. Also, the true objective of any SCP should be to “prevent” disasters. Hence, any technology that helps in preemption of an impending security incident should be whole-heartedly internalized.
INTEGRATE. INTEGRATE. INTEGRATE.
SCP projects must have the capability to integrate with other civic or governance technologies. In Nanded, the control room software will eventually be integrated with intelligent traffic management system, RTO database for challan generation, flood level sensors and weather warnings. The system is capable to
The use of world class components – equipment, hardware and software – is key to ensuring that the project achieves its objectives. Hence, vendor selection and equipment selection are an important task and should be done by professionals with prior experience with such systems. An SCP project is a complicated project involving multiple technologies and physical sciences, which are best left to experts to handle. There are open source softwares – especially in the field of Emergency Response – which should be tapped, if their use is appropriate for the local needs.
COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT
An SCP can get the local community worried – the political leadership can play an active role to assuage the concerns and in fact get the public actively involved in the project. Without the true involvement of the public at large an SCP can never become truly successful. In conclusion, the Nanded Safe City project is a unique and innovative experiment in making a city truly safe. Over time, the true success of the project will be measured, but the project is based on sound fundamentals, and is expected to generate a template on which SCPs in India can be based.
In the present day scenario, an SCP has to be thought of as a tool for efficient governance, and not only as a security tool, which is used by all governing agencies of a city or a district. Presented as such, reluctance to SCP projects can dissolve and the project can gain wider acceptance. In India, where the police force is understaffed and underfunded, it is a good idea to involve municipal corporations or the district administrations, who can provide leadership and the funds 57

O
bviously, Iraq has gone through a great deal of upheaval in its recent history. Where much of its infrastructure was damaged by the first Gulf War in the early 90s, 2003’s second Gulf War had a far more crippling effect. Ahmed Shakir, CEO at the Iraqibased security integrator Khairat Annabaa, explained: “After 2003, the private security industry was dealt a variety of problems; however the lack of IT professionals really affected our ability to provide modern solutions and modern security for our businesses.” However, with a decade’s worth of hard work and dedication, both Iraq, and its businesses, are starting to bounce back. Mr. Shakir noted that 58
January 2014
the private security sector is beginning to thrive and Hikvision products are a growing presence in this revival.
PROFESSIONAL SECURITY
For over 20 years, many private Iraqi businesses relied on an armed guard for security purposes. While this does provide a basic level of security, it also has a great many drawbacks and shortcomings. A guard is far from a comprehensive solution. However, with the revival of professional solutions, its benefits have extended beyond solely better protection for a particular business. Khairat Annabaa’s fuel storage distribution center project in Iraq’s Amarah City illustrates this point.
Utilizing Hikvision’s DS-2DF1-716 IR Network Speed Dome Camera, DS2CD8254-EIS Network Bullet Camera, DS-2CD2012-I Network Bullet Camera, DS- 1100KI Keyboard, and DS-9616NI-SH NVR, this Amarah City solution not only provided an upgrade over guards, but also: • Help Build Security Infrastructure • Improve Overall Security • Promote Tourism
BUILDING SECURITY INFRASTRUCTURE
Khairat Annabaa was initially an IT company. Now, through the improvement in both Iraqi infrastructure and economy, the time was ripe for Khairat Annabaa to use its IT knowhow and move into the
CASE STUDY security industry. Shakir noted, “The emergence of better Internet capacity, namely WiFi, has provided a great opportunity in the security industry for us.” Specifically, WiFi has greatly lowered the cost for solutions.

Additionally, the DS-2CD8254EIS and DS-2CD2012-I Network Bullet Cameras are placed at specific fixed locations - such as critical areas such the primary fuel storage area - and along the borders to provide broader perimeter security. Both models can be as close as 100 meters or as far away as 4 kilometers from Hikvision’s DS9616NI-SH NVR. For both camera models, WiFi makes this solution economically viable and provides the ability for
managers and security personnel to access these cameras in their own offices; thereby providing an easier, cheaper, and more efficient solution. Additionally, Hikvision’s DS- 1100KI Keyboard benefits by allowing 255 cameras to be used by 1 keyboard, and the ability to automatically utilize the cameras’ zoom function on this keyboard.
thriving community with homes and an elementary school. By utilizing WiFi to inexpensively link Hikvision cameras to Hikvision’s DS-9616NI-SH NVR and managerial/ security offices across great distances, this solution also provides improved overall security for the community at large.
IMPROVING OVERALL SECURITY & TERRORISM CONCERNS
Concurrently, this solution has “greatly reduced issues of terrorism. Now, with these Hikvision cameras monitoring not only the station, but the surrounding area, the community is much safer. This applies to common crime, but also to possible terrorism issues. Earlier, without cameras and WiFi, there wasn’t a deterrent. Now, with these cameras and 8 hard disks of NVR hard-drive storage to record incidents, we can provide proactive safety measures,” explained Shakir.
This fuel depot represents an important link in the overall Iraqi fuel supply chain. As a vital component to the economy, this site requires a suitable solution to the importance it holds. Located on the main road between Amarah and Basurah, and near a logistically-important bridge for this road, this location is of obvious importance. However, the special nature of this specific site brings additional concern. Not only are important roads, bridges, and this fuel depot at this location, but also a
With Hikvision and Khairat Annabaa’s IT abilities, Amarah City’s fuel storage distribution center gained more than a simple solution. It gained a solution that provides protection and civic stability.

CASE STUDY Nassau County Fights Criminal Firearm Activity with Latest Technology:
Milestone Open Platform IP Video Enables Integration with ShotSpotter Gunshot Detection and the HawkEye Effect Digital Mapping
With the goal of driving down gun violence in the Roosevelt-Uniondale area of New York, the Nassau County Police Department wanted to leverage its existing Milestone XProtect® video surveillance solution and its open platform technologyfor the next step in safety. To help deter gun crime and assist in quickly solving firearm-related cases, the department focused on enhancing the capabilities of its street cameras. The answer was to integrate its existinggunshot detectionsystem with real-time visual verification. Incorporating ShotSpotter’s gunshot location systems and The HawkEye Effect sensor mapping and integration to trigger Milestone XProtect, the department was able to control the pan-tiltzoom capabilities of the cameras, synching audio and video to map and view the exact incident location within seconds of a shooting. SUBMITTED BY MILESTONE
THE CHALLENGE
The Roosevelt-Uniondale area of Nassau County, New York, had a large number of shooting incidents – both reported to the police and unreported. Authorities believed a new system that could prove cost-efficient to launch and monitor, to track gunshots and result in evidence and convictions of those committing crimes, would benefit the community immensely. How could the police department integrate surveillance camera videoto actionable information for real-time incident response?
THE SOLUTION
Tap in to the 150 members of the Milestone Solution Partner Program for a gunshotdetection and location solution from ShotSpotter and the 60
January 2014
Hawkeye Effect. Utilize ShotSpotter’s sensors to locate gunshots within the coverage area of the deployed surveillance cameras, and the HawkEye Effect to triangulate the sensors, map the location, direct the video surveillance cameras to the location and notify first responders while recording the video. The HawkEye Effect correlates a gunshot’s location with the appropriately mapped polygon and sends the information to Milestone XProtect, which controls the pan, tilt and zoom capabilities of the video surveillance cameras. Milestone Channel PartnerEIA Inc.designed and installed the gunshot location system to meet the Nassau County Police Department requirements for automated gunshot
detection, location, reporting and video verification. The flexibility of the Milestone XProtect Corporate video management software automatically adjusts the video recording rates to the maximum number of frames per second to capture gunshot incidents in the greatest detail.
THE ADVANTAGES
The system not only detects gunshots, it is able to differentiate between fireworks or backfiring vehicles, it locates the gunshot, it automatically plots the incident on a map, it turns the surveillance cameras to the location and possible egress points, records the incident and notifies law enforcement personnel. This all occurs within 10 seconds of a gunshot. Information retrieved from

the camera and the location service is processed through Milestone XProtect, available for evidence sharing during case development and prosecution. From 2003-2009 there was an unsettling rise of gunshot reports in the Roosevelt-Uniondale area of Nassau County, County Police were in search of a way to more efficiently monitor and respond to criminal activity and violence related to firearms.Along with the increase in these crimes, there was an equally disturbing trend: many of these incidents werenot being reported - either out of fear or because residents had become immune to the sounds, turning a deaf ear to events. In 2011, police and county officials began planning an intricate arrangement betweenthe already deployed cameras throughout the county, networked through the Milestone XProtect video management platform, and the soon-to-beinstalled ShotSpotter technology. New York-based EIA Inc. (www. eia.us) recommended implementing the HawkEye Effect to coordinate ShotSpotter’s gunshot locations with the Milestonevideo platform after an extensive Milestone ecosystem search for the comprehensive solutions, which would provide real-time visual verification of reported incidents. As a Certified Milestone Solution Partner, the Hawkeye Effect has been
integrated and tested with XProtect. Since working with and maintaining the Nassau County Milestone setup for years, EIA had the expertise to design the integration of the gunshot detection through ShotSpotter with the PTZ cameras selectively deployed throughout the county. “Nassau County was looking to use the ShotSpotter deployment as a deterrent, but when a gunshot is detected, the cameras turn to the location ShotSpotter has triangulated via already established area polygons
HawkEye has mapped to help in the investigation of a shooting,” said David Engel, CEO, EIA. ShotSpotter uses a series of sensors placed throughout the area to be monitored. The software triangulates a gunshot location as a GPS coordinate and provides the nearest street address. HawkEye Effect translates this information and creates a series of polygons across the area where the shot was fired. The polygon graphics relate to either a camera preset position in Milestone XProtect or to an area that cannot be directly seen by the camera but maybe a point ofescape from the area where the gunshot was fired. If the coordinates of the shot fired are outside the camera view,it redirects to an area off a major avenuethat is approximately where the shot was fired, on the idea that it mightprovide a view of the incident as it happens or pick up someone fleeing the scene. If a victim is injured at the scene, the authorities are able to see it in the video and report the injury immediately, speeding up response time. “By integrating mapping into the Milestone XProtect® Smart Client, we www.asindia.in 6161 www.asindia.in

service, via the MilestoneSoftware Development Kit (SDK), for an integration that is able to communicate to the Milestone video management software, feeding it different presets to turn the cameras. We had to carefully map out the geography of the area surrounding the camera and, using Milestone’s open program interfaces with the HawkEye Effect mapping, create an integration with ShotSpotter that would tell Milestone XProtect which cameras to move and where,whena gunshot was detected. This process is not possible in closed systems.”
and greatest software and hardware integrations for comprehensive deployments such as this in Nassau County.” The ShotSpotter system sends coordinates andcategorizes the bullet with information about the type of bullet andnumber of shots fired. When a shot is detected, 911 center operators are provided a pop-up video display on the screen with thisvital information. At the same time, a copy of the information is sent to the HawkEye Gateway to determine the location,coordinatingthe camera views through Milestone XProtect.
Camera 1 has a direct line of sight at preset 3. Spin Camera 1 to preset 3. Camera 2 has a redirect area, so it can’t see that shot but has a view of the next major intersection at its preset 1. Spin Camera 2 to preset 1.
“Milestone’s open platform architecture is exceptionally easy to work with, providing the means, tools and resources to enable further innovation. As Milestone constantly expands, the software provides the keys necessary to leveragethe resources that customers have already invested,” stated Blair.
“Without Milestone this system wouldn’t have been possible,” continued Engel. “The HawkEye gateway has a Milestone link

“We have an open API and can share certain data with any analytics, any IP VMS, anybody that requires the data,” states Gregg Rowland, Senior Vice President at ShotSpotter. “Any information, whether it includes longitude, latitude or time can then be used - in the case with MilestoneXProtect, by programing what exactly you need from it once the information is received. These cameras are geo-referenced by the HawkEye Effect, so if you say ‘Gunshot happened on this corner, send closest camera to that location,’ the PTZ directly lines upto where the event happened and turns every other camera to egress routes. There is a lot of creativity with what we do with the data and the entire system after we retrieve it.”

The HawkEye Effect’s GPS plots quickly determine the area and assign tasks to each camera.For example: • • •

CASE STUDY IndigoVision’s integrated IP-CCTV solution Scures Johannesburg Through Security Initiative IndigoVision’s integrated IP-CCTV solution has helped dramatically reduce crime in the suburbs of Johannesburg, South Africa, through an innovative security initiative. CSS Tactical, a company that provides mobile security patrols, is breaking new ground with the delivery of security services in South Africa by integrating CCTV surveillance with its area patrols. SUBMITTED BY INDIGOVISION
CSS Tactical’s main requirement was for wireless video footage to be transmitted from strategically placed CCTV cameras back to a remote central control room. Scalability and bandwidth usage were other very important factors in the choice of a CCTV system. As the new initiative was likely to attract many new customers for CSS, the system had to be easily and quickly expandable, in order that they could maintain their high service levels. Low bandwidth requirement
was also important, as this is a limiting factor in South Africa. CSS partnered with a local IT company, Parallel Technologies, who recommended IndigoVision’s solution (distributed in Africa by Norbain), because of its superior video quality and excellent compression technology.
This ensures low bandwidth usage and provides the very best evidential quality video to assist in convictions. The installation of the first phase of the project, which covers the Dunkeld area, was so successful that CSS will soon be implementing the system in the Hyde Park, Greenside and Emmarentia suburbs.
“
The average crime incident per client rate in the areas in which we operate typically fell from 11.7 to only 1.1 within 2 3 months of the cameras being installed, which demonstrates how successful the IndigoVision CCTV system has been. These compelling statistics are generating great interest with potential clients so we anticipate adding many more cameras to the system in the near future. CSS is extremely pleased with the results achieved through implementing the IndigoVision solution

be told and retold, but along with it will be tales of un-professionalism, foolhardiness, cowardice and corruption. It will be prudent to pause for a moment and think whether there are lessons for security professionals to learn from this gory incident? Admittedly there are few lessons we can learn. The Internet sites, the Blogs and the Communities are overflowing with ideas. Honestly few ideas are picked up from there. There are many lessons learnt from the whole incident and some of them are enumerated below.
INTELLIGENCE FAILURE
T
oday after five years of the Mumbai Mayhem, have things changed? Do we have better security? Have we learning the lessons? I we care to look deep and long enough, we will find that there is a lot to be desired so far as revamping security of cities, iconic buildings and public places is concerned. The US State Department has consistently listed India as the country with the second-highest number of terrorism casualties after Iraq. However Western media has given scant regard to the problem and this is sometimes resented in India. All that is likely to change with terror attacks in Mumbai. Mumbai unwittingly has become the epicentre of India’s terrorist problem but there have been many attacks in other key cities. 64
January 2014
The Mumbai terrorists attacked on every level. They killed middle class workers when they shot up the railway station, they killed the elite in the luxury hotels, they killed tourists and kids as they ate in a café and while attacking hospital they killed the sick and dying or those trying hard not to. They shot people on the roads, in railway station, hotel or residential building. They killed Indians, Britons, Americans, Israelis and several other nationalities. They killed men, women, children, policemen, firemen, doctors and patients. This was systematic cold blooded slaughter. The saga of personal valour, dedication to duty, service to society and patriotism of common man will
The Mumbai attacks were a wellplanned and coordinated series of terrorist attacks, as AK47-wielding terrorists with grenades in their backpacks targeted a number of high-profile locations frequented by Westerners and wealthy Indians. It appears to have been a massive intelligence failure as Indian security agencies were caught napping; this despite reports that Indian Authorities had been aware for some time of rumours of an impending attack, including even mention of the Taj Mahal Hotel. Interrogation of at least one perpetrator reportedly confirmed to Indian Authorities suspicions of the Pakistan-related origin of the plot. Despite the repeated failure of the Intelligence the administration’s public response thus far appears to be curiously complacent. The Country’s Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and Intelligence officials pointed
VIEW POINT
fingers very cautiously at an ‘outside force’, an obvious reference to Pakistancentric terrorist groups. Manmohan Singh promised tough measures to take on the terrorists, including that of setting up a federal investigating agency. To the best of the knowledge of security professionals, this was the first terrorist attack in recent times that involved hostages and a direct attack on the police. The targeting of high-profile hotels, attacks on iconic buildings and foreigners suggests that at least part of the intention was to damage India’s image abroad as a country open for business. There are reports suggesting that ATS’ preoccupation with the Malegaon blast investigation may have resulted in intelligence failure about plans for this attack. Going by death toll, this is by far the worst single-city terrorist attack in India’s history - although the attacks last month in Assam come close (in terms of sheer numbers).
TERROR’S THIRD DIMENSION – BY THE LAND, AIR AND NOW SEA! It has been often times said that the Mumbai terror attacks were unexpected as much as audacious since sea approach was used to reach Mumbai. This might appear so but ask any old war-horse and he will confirm that the chances of successes of any operation are directly related to the quantum of the audacity an operation has. The frontal attack is Description: Description: Carnage … Indian policemen walk through the shooting site at Chattrapati Shivaji Railway terminus in Mumbai yesterday. generally considered to be most dangerous and therefore very rarely tried. But, when it is a decision that is required to be taken by the Fedayeen terrorists then there are very high chances that the least practical and least expected route will be chosen for that reason alone. The air space for terrorism has been used in 9/11 and ever after. The Tamil Tigers have got hold of aircrafts – that too
fighter aircrafts! It will be matter of time that other various categories of aircrafts are also used by the terrorists. There are unmanned aircraft such as Predators in the border areas to take care of. Then there are remote controlled toy aircrafts laden with IED with timer devices or designed to explode on impact. Suddenly sky seems to be not friendly any more.
TERRORISM: OUT SOURCING The mid-sixties saw smuggling of gold turning out to be very lucrative business of the underworld. It soon became the narcotics which was most sought after item for smuggling. Soon arms, narcotics and hawala trading became lethal combination and small time smugglers no more operated independently. They were used by the big-timers to work for them. And soon corporate culture was emulated by the smugglers. The D - Company has run its business from far away land using its front men and small time operatives. Thus smuggling and mafia activities in India and elsewhere are run like a corporate business. The terrorism have also started undergoing the same changes and if early indications are to be believed, the LeT, JeM or many other terrorist outfit operating from Pakistan need not get its cadre directly involved as local ‘talent’ is easily available. So ‘terrorism’ is being out- sourced as any ‘Corporate’ will outsource house-keeping and maintenance services. Similarly terrorists are also more and more getting involved in real estate, hawala trading and smuggling as their business verticals so that loss of one business can be absorbed by other business activities or one business can be funded by the profits of other businesses – mostly the terror operations in theirs case!
NO 8 FIGURE GRID REFERENCE – IT IS INTELLIGENCE, SILLY! World over the autobiographies of sleuths have never even once mentioned the single instances when
they could generate cent-percent accurate intelligence. Those who did - had not lived enough to tell the tale! The business of intelligence collection, collation and dissemination is so full of ifs’ and buts that by the time it reaches the end-user it has been many times removed of it’s time and place value. It appears to have been a massive intelligence failure as a result of which Indian security agencies were caught napping; this despite reports that Indian Authorities had been aware for some time of rumours of an impending attack, including even mention of the Taj Mahal Hotel. But one has to remember that the operational intelligence leaves lot of scope for addition or deletion. In many case, the steady stream of intelligence will only help the expert to draw a pattern and make projection or intelligent guesses! It will be really very silly to expect that any agency in the world will generate the intelligence giving time in milliseconds and location in ‘eight figure grid reference’! Even if once, some intelligence is so gathered, by the time it reaches the end-user, the variables might change as terrorists can always change their locations, timings, numbers, weapons or modus-operandi! Remember, they too have Plan Bs! Out of all persons, Admiral Sunil Mehta (then Navy Chief who said there were no specific intelligence) should know this and also remember that if one wants to do things best, it is best to do oneself! However, “the fact that the boat used by the terrorist to enter Mumbai was undetected for 72 hours does not augur well for India’s security. Unmolested by any naval action to intercept, the terrorists sailed leisurely towards Mumbai. There were no signs of warships, conducting radar sweeps conjointly with the Navy and Coast Guard run Dornier surveillance sorties or more intensive searches seaward by the naval and coast guard vessels” writes Bharat Karnad, Professor of National Security Studies at the Centre for Policy Research.

Cisco Technology Radar 2014- Trends that Will Define 2014 The key transformational trends identified this year are Internet of Everything (IoE) and M2M communications, Multi-vendor Clouds, Video in ultra-high definition, Context Aware Computing and Collaboration, Real-time analytics, Interactive collaboration through the web, New Internet architectures, Security and Internet of Everything and Self-Organizing Networks (SON). SUBMITTED BY CISCO
Some of the key transformational trends identified this year are:
Spotting the next innovation, that could benefit customers or challenge the success of existing products, is topof-mind for every company. Keeping a finger on the pulse of every innovation that could bring such a disruption can be daunting. At Cisco, a self-nominated team of enthusiasts, unaffiliated with any particular function or business unit take up the challenge of identifying technology developments worldwide. Technologies identified by this team are assessed by a panel of Distinguished Engineers, Fellows, Directors and VPs and a few are selected as novel and most relevant to Cisco. Cisco calls this team and the process - The Technology Radar. Today, these volunteer scouts have become fundamental to Cisco’s intelligence gathering initiatives. By channeling their passion for emerging technologies, they help Cisco in identifying opportunities and threats that could impact our business and customers in five, ten or even twenty-five years’ time.

Internet of Everything (IoE) and M2M communications: The Internet of Things, and specifically increased automation in industrial systems and processes, coupled with big data, will bring tremendous advances in predictive diagnostics, with important applications in environments as diverse as retail and automotive safety. By 2022, M2M connections will account for 45 percent of total connections while person-to-machine (P2M) and personto-person (P2P) will account for the remaining 55 percent. M2M already represents a significant market which continues to grow. Some of the most common M2M applications are telemetry (e.g. utility meters), telematics (e.g. car navigation systems), sales and payment (e.g. vending machines), and fleet management (e.g. cargo tracking). Multi-vendor Clouds: Public, private and hybrid cloud environments based on static configurations will give way to dynamic and multi-vendor cloud environments. New technologies will allow Cloud service providers across multiple environments to adopt common Service Level Agreements (SLAs) to provide reliable and economical services. Video in ultra-high definition: High definition video systems are becoming rapidly more affordable, presenting us with exciting opportunities for new video experiences on a previously unseen scale. Video technology in ultra-high definition (2160p and 4k - 8k- 4320p) will become imperative for smart phones, augmented reality glasses, tablets and other devices equipped with camera. With a resolution up to 16-times higher than current HD TV (1080p), their impact on the network requires the adoption of new technologies
like P2P streaming, federated content distribution networks, HEVC (H.265) or HTTP adaptive streaming. Context Aware Computing and Collaboration: The mash-up of big data and collaboration applications is going to drive the creation of a new wave of “context-aware” computing and collaboration experiences. Within 12-24 months, we will witness the rise of collaboration applications which automatically present to us information about the people and organizations contacting us. Furthermore, collaboration applications will leverage context-aware information and big data to gather useful historical information (documents, past interactions, recordings of meetings, even Facebook status) which are relevant to how teams work together, thereby preserving intellectual property and strengthening relationships and collaboration. Real-time analytics: In the era of the data deluge, businesses demand fast access to information and immediate data insights in order to make quick and informed decisions, and to improve financial and operational performance. Real-time analytics have a broad area of application, spanning from financial markets to advertising, automation and security. Analyzing massive amounts of data almost on the fly implies high performance requirements on systems’ hardware and software. Interactive collaboration through the web: The embedding of rich media collaboration within browsers – promises to transform the way businesses and organizations communicate and engage with customers. Within 12 months, we’re going to see retailers, financial services organizations, and other providers of

high value services embedding Web Real Time Collaboration (WebRTC) into their web interfaces to transform the way they engage with customers. New Internet architectures: With the number of connected devices set to rapidly expand from 10Bn today to 50Bn or more by 2020, current internet infrastructure needs to evovle to support this exponential growth of connected devices. We will see the rise of a new Internet architecture characterized by (a) ‘Fog Computing’ – the convergence of networking and compute at the edge of networks to create a more distributed intelligence that balances the need for centralized mega-scale data centers with more locally-useful computing and decision making capabilities, (b) a new type of networking architecture characterized by open APIs and by the
embrace of developer communities who will create applications that optimize the integration of networks and management systems and business applications, (c) we will pass the peak of the SDN hype cycle and see real-world applications emerge in 2014, and (d) a new set of IT skillsets which accompany the convergence of computing, networking, storage and applications will emerge. Security and Internet of Everything: As more and more devices – from wearable medical devices to devices that carry personal financial information – join the Web, privacy and security become more important than ever. In the coming 1-3 years, we will see a new form of multilayered security emerge, replacing today’s model of “protecting the perimeter” with a combination of security technologies that includes localized clients embedded
within devices or localized connections and centralized cloud-based intelligence which constantly scans to protect. Self-Organizing Networks (SON): SON refers to a set of capabilities that increases the level of automation in network planning, operations and maintenance of LTE (Long Term Evolution) and next generation mobile networks. Today‘s mobile networks are largely human operated. SON is expected to decrease the capex and opex associated with them. These automated functions aim towards a self-configuring, selfoptimizing and self-healing network, increasing network performance and quality by adapting to dynamic changes in network conditions.

Managing Tradeoffs in Security Design Managing Tradeoffs in Security Design is a mission critical challenge for CSO’s. Here is the unique way suggested to manage it well. BY COL DEEPAK KAJLA (RETD), CPP, PMP, Lead Consultant Mahindra Special Services Group
which are time efficient. In a steel plant, it is desirable to have a facility entry process which takes minimum time. However from the security perspective, the entry process would include security checks and these would cause queuing up and reduce the throughput leading to an increase in time for the personnel to report to work.

WHAT IS TRADEOFF?
A tradeoff is a situation that involves losing one quality or aspect of something in return for gaining another quality or aspect. It often implies a decision to be made with full comprehension of both the upside and downside of a particular choice. It is an exchange of one thing in return for another, especially relinquishment of one benefit or advantage for another regarded as more desirable. It is a technique of reducing or forgoing one or more desirable outcomes in exchange for increasing or obtaining other desirable outcomes in order to maximize the total return or effectiveness under given circumstances.
ASPECTS WITH LINKAGES TO SECURITY DESIGN
The design of any facility is a complex process involving harmonizing the interplay of diverse aspects. In the current article, we will restrict ourselves to major aspects with linkages to security design. These are operational efficiency, landscape, convenience and privacy.
OPERATIONAL EFFICIENCY

Initial landscaping can help reduce both electronic and physical components lowering the total cost of ownership. It can assist in creating choke points or high visible areas deterring or displacing would be adversaries. Incorporating aspects of security in the landscape design often creates a conflict in terms of aesthetics as what may look beautiful may not necessarily be secure. For a hotel, the landscape consultant would prefer a wall based on the concept of the hotel, ensuring good visibility from the outside. However from the security perspective, a solid wall may be preferable to mitigate the risk of an explosive device being ignited beyond the boundaries of the facility.
CONVENIENCE
We all visit malls. Which kind of mall
would you prefer to visit. One in which first your vehicle is checked and then you also undergo personal frisking before entering the mall or one in which there are no security checks. Most people would choose the convenient option. However heightened security is a acceptable reality today and so there is the need to optimize security and convenience for such public facilities.
PRIVACY
Surveillance is the most common form of security being put to effect nowadays. However, at all such locations there is a need to address issues of privacy. From the security perspective, it would be preferable to cover all public areas by CCTVs. However this reduces the privacy of individuals and needs to fine tuned to address both the concerns.
CONCLUSION
Apart from the major tradeoffs listed above, the issue of cost of security is also always paramount. In order to optimize the expenditure on security, it is essential to base the security controls on risk assessment and needs analysis to ensure that correct decisions are taken with respect to the major tradeoffs.

n a world dominated by concerns about global warming and carbon footprints, being ecologically friendly in designing, building and managing properties is now a top priority. To deliver measurable corporate, economic and social benefits, maintainable building practices are already widespread. We need to control the hazards to reduce future risk. As lighting accounts for approximately 30% of a commercial building’s electricity consumption, it is not enough to just switch to energy efficient lamps that will minimally reduce your power needs. Lighting Control provides adequate lighting when and where required while reducing wastage via an inter-connected microprocessorbased control network delivering optimal light and energy. An elegant and energy efficient lighting system also is economical
An efficient green light technology provides total environmental control, conserves energy and lower costs by combining automated dimming and daylight harvesting with power switching and demand response. Today’s modern commercial buildings integrate complex lighting control that balances a variety of requirements such as safety, energy conservation, comfort, productivity and aesthetics. The need to monitor, manage and control incongruent lighting systems such as emergency, task, presentation, architectural and natural light simply and efficiently on a single platform is utmost important.
PROBLEMS Lighting eats up more electricity than any other essential business system. Augmenting natural light and implementing dimmers, timers, occupancy and motion sensors will both reduce your business’s energy costs and minimize the amount of harmful emissions in the air. While using an efficient lighting system is primarily important, maintaining ambience and connectivity, implementing backup to address power cuts, consumption, management, and ergonomics are also very vital. Some of the key problems with lighting are listed below, along with the solutions to those problems.
POWER CONSUMPTION AND DISRUPTION The need for electricity is more important than ever and is an indispensable part of your life. Modern technology brings with it the possibility of electrical hazards, communication disconnection, criminal intrusion and accidents. Frequent power interruption, even for a minimal time disconnects you from the outside world, resulting in both inconvenience and a lack of security. Inefficient lighting systems in commercial buildings or spaces increases energy costs by up to 50 to 75% and negatively affects the environment. Lighting systems that consumes more power does not address the critical issues of energy efficiency, pollution prevention and economic competitiveness.

SO WHAT’S THE SOLUTION? Effective lighting control solutions provide the most energy efficient, costeffective solutions by integrating separate environmental systems on a common platform, achieving a synergy that delivers optimal control and savings. Lighting controls saves up to 60% of operational and maintenance cost and increases the value of the building by tenfold, as the operations in the building become ecofriendly. With advanced features like room scheduling, room combining, demand response and personal workspace control, the usage of power becomes limited and thus, energy efficient. Energy efficiency improvements are attainable through the implementation of the best technology and best practices. Energy efficient systems can pay for themselves in energy savings, sometimes within months, and further reduce operation and maintenance costs in the long term.

MANAGEMENT accomplishing daily tasks, thus reducing the risk of injury. Ergonomic services provide cost-effective solutions to improve employee comfort and educate them on how to apply ergonomic principles in their own work environment. It covers the entire work area, including issues regarding the chair, workstation and lighting. Creating inspiring aesthetics and planned ergonomics is one of the key takeaways for a successful business. Internal ergonomics dictates how lighting can and should be used. Improper ergonomics results in systems that are improperly sized, performing poorly and, in some cases, are unsafe. It leads to premature equipment failure, poor performance, building degradation, moisture problems and comfort issues.
SO WHAT’S THE SOLUTION? Ergonomic workspaces are becoming more and more popular. They are organized, well-lit spaces designed to provide a comfortable environment to effectively conduct tasks. Solar gain and natural light management is just one of the important factors in creating an ergonomic workspace. Effective use of ergonomic practices will assist in maintaining high
As buildings last for decades, it is inevitable that their interiors will experience some size and usage changes. Thus, maintaining and managing the interiors and the exteriors of any building is of paramount importance. Improper maintenance and management creates a wrong and a misleading impression in the minds of people who spend extended amounts of time in the building. In the commercial arena, poor management directly might affect the business and profitability of the organizations housed in the building.
SO WHAT’S THE SOLUTION? Proper management is required for efficiency. An easy to plan, install, use and maintain a centralized system consolidates the heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) system, lighting and other needs into one. Integration of various lighting control systems modifies and saves time, without the costly, timeconsuming and disruptive knocking down of walls or ripping up and replacing obsolete cabling. It also simplifies the intelligent and flexible control of individual and automatic lighting and consolidates all previously operated functions into one.

Lighting system protocol controls an increasing range of applications, including building management integration and central monitoring systems.
FUTURE PROOFING For any commercial space, understanding the principles of future proofing is a key advantage when building, renovating or improving the space. A future proof building’s design and product specification is based around the demands of energy efficiency, space management, sound control, quality assurance, life cycle costing, health & safety, resource responsibility, and security & automation. With the right team in place, a future proofing strategy should include consideration of not only the immediately obvious building issues such as ageing equipment, lobbies and common areas, but also the zone where it is located. The availability of the space around and between buildings can be an important factor in the longevity of the street and, by association, its buildings.
SO WHAT’S THE SOLUTION? New technology and access to a global marketplace are major factors that now influence the way we design and construct residential and commercial buildings. A change in thinking from costdriven building to lifestyle design and construction is gaining momentum as yesterday’s cost-driven buildings are failing to meet the demands of current lifestyles. By incorporating sustainable features, building owners are future proofing for changes in the business and regulatory environment, and ensuring that they will not be at a competitive disadvantage in the future. Usage of various integrated lighting and monitoring solutions can be effectively used to future proof commercial spaces.
ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES The design, construction, operation, and demolition of commercial buildings impact natural resources, environmental quality, worker productivity and community well-being. Existing strategies offer tremendous opportunities for enhancing the overall sustainability of these structures. Increasingly, there is more concern over the effects of climate change. The recent surge in energy prices means that everyone wants to reduce costs and subsequently reduce their environmental impact. Ultimately, every business should ideally have a strategy for reducing their environmental impact, outlining the ways in which they do so and the plans that they have for future strategies in this area. Reducing environmental impact also has the additional benefit of reducing costs.
SO WHAT’S THE SOLUTION? Growing concern over the environmental impacts of buildings have led to increasing demands for more environmentally-friendly buildings and building materials. New technologies reduce the energy that a building uses to operate by using high efficiency windows and insulation not just in walls, but in ceilings and floors too.
Thermostat
Numerous energy efficient systems provides ultra-advanced lighting control features such as scheduled, manual, computer and occupancy control and easily adjustable scenes, sequences and daylight harvesting. These systems are ecofriendly and conserve energy.
COST Monitoring, managing and controlling distinct lighting systems on a single platform are of utmost importance. Optimizing natural light and implementing lighting system will reduce a business’s energy costs and minimize the amount of harmful emissions.
SO WHAT’S THE SOLUTION? An efficient green light technology provides total environmental control and conserves energy and lower costs by combining automated dimming and daylight harvesting with power switching and demand response. By using an efficient lighting system, one can predict exactly how much money can be saved on a daily and hourly basis. It is estimated that when renting or reselling premises, the value of the building increases tenfold as a result of greening the building operations.
