‘Make in India’ Creates Waves

The ‘Make in India’ should become a national movement if India wants to revive its manufacturing sector. Make in India is an initiative of the Government of India, to encourage companies to manufacture their products in India. It was launched by Prime Minister, Narendra Modi on 25 September 2014. Under the initiative, brochures on the 25 sectors and a web portal were released. Before the initiative was launched, foreign equity caps in various sectors had been relaxed or removed. The application for licences was made available online. The validity of licenses was increased to 3 years. Various other norms and procedures were also relaxed. In August 2014, the Cabinet of India allowed 49% foreign direct investment (FDI) in the defence and 100% in railways infrastructure. The defence sector previously allowed 26% FDI and FDI was not allowed in railways. This was in hope of bringing down the military imports of India. Earlier, one Indian company would have held the 51% stake; this was changed so that multiple companies could hold the 51%The government initiatives are helping the Indian manufacturer to change the mindset.’ Come, Make in India’! PM Modi’s aggressive push to revive an ailing manufacturing sector, has found resonance with India Inc. Single-window clearances, minimal procedures & cutting out of any red-tapism - PM Modi sees Make in India as a vital impetus for employment & growth. This idea needs to be promoted among all Indians and PIOs.

India Needs Smart Cities

India too is a witness to Smart City trend, over the past several years, and with the economy expected to grow significantly in the years to come, this trend will only get accelerated further. And given the fact that India is today far less urbanized than several other developed nations with almost similar economic growth, it could only become more pronounced. According to a McKinsey Global Institute (MGI) report, India’s urban population is projected to increase from 340 million in 2008 to 590 million by 2030.However, this urbanization trend, is creating tremendous pressure on infrastructure of the existing cities, which in the first place, were never planned initiatives themselves. Power cuts, water shortages, high cost of living, dilapidated state of road network, high traffic volumes are but some of the manifestations

Disruptive technology, social media, mobility, cloud and Internet of Things etc will be needed to build solution at a price point which makes sense in India. There are 27 German companies in India in the IT sector. All of these companies are doing cutting edge work in India. Therefore, as India aims at Make in India and Germany at Industry 4.0; utilising the huge base of German companies is a great opportunity to move forward.

R Chandrashekhar, President, Nasscom The Seminar on Digital India was jointly organised by CII, Department of Electronics and IT (DeitY), Ministry of Communications & Information technology, Government of India and ZVEI - German Electrical and Electronic Manufacturers’ Association. It explored the approaches of how government and industry can partner to implement the “Digital Presence” on the ground by creation of compelling digital strategies and services and how emerging trends and technology imperatives can impact the lives of its citizen. Favoured with government policies, burgeoning market for local consumer electronics and telecom products and availability of skilled labour, there is a renewed thrust to attract investments to boost the Indian EDMS (electronic document management system) industry.

Kashiwabara, Senior Manager of Marketing Sec.,

“

At Johnson Controls, we believe that nurturing and developing the next generation of talent for the building sector is critical to helping India achieve its dream of developing smart cities - through greener and smarter buildings.

Software House Adds IdentyTech™ Biometric Palm Vein Readers to Partner Portfolio

P PLUS, the Global Leader in advanced surveillance and security systems and solutions, and market leader with No. 1 market share in India, recently took a step ahead by changing its tagline to ‘Security Made Simpler’. Redefining the earlier tagline of ‘Enhancing Vision’, the new tagline emphasizes the company’s motto of bringing world-class, reliable and durable security solutions that offer true value for money. It positions the brand as cutting through the jargon and myths associated with surveillance to make it a people-friendly concept.

“

The Indian security market is full of unorganized and fly-by-night players, who charge unreasonably high prices for their products, and that too without offering any service or after-sales support. This hampers the growth of the industry as a whole and manipulates the perception of people regarding video surveillance. With our new tagline and all the efforts that we are putting into living up to it, we wish to carve a niche place for ourselves in the market.

Axis Introduces Network Loudspeaker for Remote Speaking in Video Surveillance Applications

XIS C3003-E Network Horn Speaker is a simple-to-install outdoor loudspeaker that provides clear, long-range speech for remote speaking over a network. When used together with video surveillance, AXIS C3003-E enables an operator to remotely address people and deter unwanted activity. The loudspeaker is ideal for enhancing video surveillance installations in outdoor areas such as parking lots, construction and critical infrastructure sites, and public squares.

“

AXIS C3003-E is really an IoT (Internet of Things) device that provides many advantages because it is connected to an IP network. For instance, you can assign a regular phone number to the loudspeaker and simply dial in to it to get heard. It enables integration with just about anything. Peter Lindström, Director, Axis Communications

LEOMASTER Launches Privacy Protection App to Secure Phones and Mobile Apps

Axis Communications, the global leader in network video, today launched AXIS C3003-E, the first open standard, network loudspeaker for remote speaking. AXIS C3003-E is simple to install and integrate into a video surveillance system or an IP telephony system, making announcements possible from anywhere with network connectivity. Complementing Axis’ network video offering, AXIS C3003-E was developed in close cooperation with customers in the video surveillance industry. The loudspeaker’s benefits include lower installation costs, easy integration and ensured reliability. It allows customers to easily add a remote speaking function to their surveillance system to deter crime or other unwanted activities. “Horn speakers allow our operators to immediately intervene when video analytics alerts us of trespassing at customer sites,” says Lars Kämpe, Business Development Manager at Securitas, which equips virtually all of its outdoor perimeter protection installations with loudspeakers. “Normally, a trespasser will flee the scene when notified of his detection. This saves cost for our customers due to reduced damages and also no unnecessary callouts.”

s organizations of all sizes face an increasing volume of cyber attacks that place sensitive data, company assets and intellectual property at risk, Cisco is announcing new models of Cisco® ASA with FirePOWER Services, the industry’s first threat-focused next-generation firewall (NGFW) -- providing midsize companies, branch offices and industrial environments with the same advanced malware protection and threat detection capabilities deployed by large enterprise organizations.

“

Hacking is a sophisticated business, and as the attackers become even more profit-driven, midsize businesses, branch offices and industrial environments are increasingly in their crosshairs. As organizations work to protect themselves and their partners, they require security solutions that combine sophistication and simplicity, while also offering low TCO. The new models of Cisco ASA with FirePOWER Services address that exact need with advanced threat protection capabilities along with easier management and cost savings that improve an organization’s security efforts – before, during and after an attack.

“

David Goeckeler, Senior Vice President, Cisco Security Business Group

According to a recent PwC study, security compromises at midsize organizations increased 64% in 2014. They face the same challenges as enterprises when it comes to securing their network and data, but often rely on legacy and outdated security platforms that fail to provide protection before, during and after an attack. Attackers are finding distributed sites and industrialized locations to be attractive targets because they are often viewed as easier entry points to access sensitive information and data either at the remote location or on the corporate network.

Zebion Launches Intrusion Alert Systems Designed to Intercept Burglars in the Act

une based Electronics Company, Zebion, have launched a contemporary range of intrusion alert devices named Argoz, suitable for Homes, Offices and Warehouses. These devices have an instant notification facility as soon as unauthorized trespass occurs, either by dialling out to the owner’s mobile number or through a smart APP. The dial out can be followed by an SMS and the owner can nominate secondary, tertiary or more numbers in case the primary contact number is unavailable.

“

With the incidence of break-in and thievery on the rise in virtually every setting (residential and commercial) Argoz opens a new chapter in society’s fight against crime.

“

Cisco Expands ASA With FirePOWER Services Portfolio

Yogesh Dagale, Director and CEO, Zebion

The Argoz intrusion detection system can have an attached hooter or siren. However many would prefer not to startle the burglar, but rather engage law enforcements authorities instantly to nab the culprit while still in the act. Another Zebion Director, Abhishek Lodha, added “Argoz instantly relays information about a break-in at the very moment the crime occurs. This empowers the property owner to exercise the best option available. While the most obvious reaction could be to inform the police, one could also inform friends, neighbours or the society office.” For years, citizens and law enforcers have felt that CCTV systems alone were insufficient when trying to ensure holistic security of a premises or prevent crime. While CCTV remains essential, and in some cases indispensable, their primary function is to facilitate postincident analysis, not crime prevention. As Saurabh Dey, Zebion’s CMO, explained “Argoz and CCTV are complementary products, and they work synergistically.” 31

Over the past two years, India’s economy has been slow, mainly as a result of investments grinding to a halt due to the election. However, all this has changed since Narendra Modi was elected as the new prime minister last year. Since Modi came to power, foreign and local investments have been positive, with expectations for further economic growth in the next two years, and opportunities for the security industry in growing project demands.

efore the election in 2014, foreign investments were slow due to investor hesitation and uncertainty in what the new government would bring. Now, Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s plans to build 100 smart cities and increase the speed of project clearances has resulted in positive foreign and local investments. Combined with the prospect of rate cuts, GDP growth is still likely to rise to 6.4 percent in 2015 from 5.6 percent in the previous year. The government’s reform agenda to revive economic growth in the country 42 66

includes increasing foreign direct investment in the insurance sector from 26 percent to 49 percent, which is predicted to result in US$6 to 8 billion in capital inflow, and to amend archaic labor laws to reduce regulatory interference while coaxing employees with more benefits, whilst also promoting the “Make in India” campaign. As having the largest private-public partnership (PPP) market in the world, 3P India will be implemented to introduce more PPPs into the mainstream of project execution, as well as plans to upgrade infrastructure in 500 urban areas. Along with this, land purchase rules will be changed to allow for easier acquisition of land for infrastructure and industrial projects. India’s GDP advanced to 5.3 percent in the third quarter of 2014, Barron’s Asia forecasted India’s economic performance in 2015 to continue optimistic growth as new Prime Minister Modi brings in higher private sector investment. To further boost GDP growth, the government also plans to introduce value-added tax (VAT) that can replace more than a dozen taxes that increase incentives for corruption, which will add another 1.7 percentage points to GDP growth if successful. With the implementation of all of Modi’s reform agenda, the next few years for India will be very promising.

“Today, India has an elected new government with a good majority in the upper house of parliament to help and take firm policy decisions. This will attract foreign investments and help the economy to pick up quickly. Signs of improvement have already started, I believe within a year, we can see a clear shift,” said Anil Dhawan, Chief Executive of DB Secure Solution. According to an industry expert, with the help of the new government, dramatic changes can be seen, and opportunities will open up for big cases. 2015 will be a very promising year for various security members due to the political situation, which will help generate more businesses.

events that have taken place in the last decade, ranging from mass terrorist attacks to public crimes against women has created the need for safer cities. The South Asian Terrorism Portal has identified 179 terrorism groups operating in India, and the threat has worsened in recent years. In 2008, a series of attacks killed 172 people, and in 2011, three bomb explosions at different locations killed 26 people. Security awareness and security demand is therefore a major priority for both government and private sectors.

Promising indian security market, 2015 Today, the strong growth of the Indian security market has gained attention among foreign players as well as investors. According to an industry expert, compared to 2013, 2014 has seen a slightly higher growth in the security market. 2013 was slow, mainly because everyone was waiting and observing the market.

Make in India

The government has been strongly promoting to the entire world that India is the go-to manufacturing hub, with Prime Minister Modi stressing that the goods manufactured in India should have zero effect on the environment, as well as zero defects. According to Ashutosh Fotedar, Assistant Sales Manager of Tamron India, the country has potential in finding opportunities in OEM businesses to work with camera manufacturers. Indian companies may provide the prototypes, and shift the manufacturing to other places after customer’s approval. The domestic industry will develop further in order to decrease the country’s dependency on foreign manufacturers. “In the past, India imported several products. The new government is encouraging locally manufactured products - MAKE IN INDIA,” explained Anil Dhawan, Chief Executive of DB Secure Solution. “This will also apply to the security industry. Hopefully, it should replace many security products

currently imported from China. Many of the Chinese products are lacking the standard a good customer in India is looking at. This way it will be advantageous to improve the economy and also bring high quality locally supported equipment,” he added. It is probable that some local companies will start to focus more on local manufacturing, though in the short term domestic demand is not high enough to sustain local manufacturing, as China’s manufacturing services provide many advantages to companies, Dhawan warns.

on the economy, especially imported goods. However, the future for the market holds high expectations. Coupled with new technologies, new product launches such as HD over coaxial cable, the market demand will be stimulated. Growing awareness on the benefits of electronic security equipment among cities is expected to escalate demand for electronic security equipment in the near future. “The government will also bring another positive impact, which is to promote security awareness, as well as standards for installation and manufacturing, which will create an overall market growth drive,” said Dhawan. “Following the past two or three year’s downturn, the minimum growth for 2015 will be at least 10 to 15 percent. As for the new government, a lot of infrastructure projects are being pushed forward, and it will take a minimum of at least 18 months before actual security demand comes in,” Dhawan continued. Another driver for the security market is the migration to IP, and demand from low-end IP cameras to quality IP cameras. According to an industry expert, at least 20 percent of his clients are turning towards IP, which can effectively create high revenue. “The IP market is

segmented, dividing between premium and low-end markets. A premium IP camera is reliable and has good quality, support service, and distribution, which has features such as VCA, facial recognition, and people counting,” said Sudhindra Holla, Country Manager of India at Axis Communications. With price as a key issue, people are always looking for good quality products at low prices. “The total cost of ownership (TCO) depends on how hardware and software are made to work together. Unless we get this right, we are only working to drop device prices that in turn creates sub-optimal solutions and increased TCO,” Santosh Pillai, Director and CTO of 2020 Imaging explained. With the thriving economy increasing funds for public and private sectors, the security market is expected to flourish with the growing economy. “As the new government settles the new budget, many projects in infrastructure can be seen, such as for smart city, and even

the commercial sector is improving,” said Holla. The security market in India grew from $882 million in 2013 to $953 million in 2014, and is forecasted to reach $1.1 billion in 2015, according to Gartner. “Performance in 2015 will pick up, especially in sectors such as smart city, transportation, infrastructure, government, banking, and education,” he added. Verticals like banking and financial services, that have had a strong focus on security, are now investing in technology approaches that can enable them to grow their business securely.

ConstruCting 100 smart Cities Investments of approximately $1.2 trillion will be required over the next 20 years across areas such as transportation, energy, and public security to build smart cities in India, according to PricewaterhouseCoopers. The government’s plan to build 100 new smart cities and develop modern satellite towns around existing cities will open up opportunities for the security industry, mainly for surveillance projects and green building solutions.

Safe City Projects, Ready to Roll Out Covering every area of security from surveillance through PSIM to other physical security equipment, safe city projects will create huge opportunities for security companies. A budget of $1.2 billion will be allocated for smart cities in the 2014-15 budget, and under the flagship “safe city” project the Union Ministry proposes $333 million to develop seven big cities (Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, Chennai, Ahmedabad, Bangalore, and Hyderabad) with a total investment of $100 billion to focus on technological advancement and

with the launch of the smart cities program, smart buildings are essential to help in the successful implementation of smart cities. The intelligent building management systems market is around $621 million and is expected to reach $1.9 billion by 2016. As of August 2014, more than 2,771 green buildings projects were registered with the Indian Green Council, and will be able to deliver integrated lighting, improved comfort and air quality, and most importantly, greater physical security. According to McKinsey & Company, India can save approximately $42 billion every year with efficient energy management. Currently, buildings in India consume approximately 40 percent of total energy generated, and 20 percent of water, as well as 40 percent of carbon emissions, 30 percent of solid waste and 20 percent of water effluents. However with smart buildings, 30 percent of water usage, 40 percent of energy usage, and a reduction of building maintenance costs by 10 to 30 percent can be saved.

Bright Future AheAd As India continues to boom, many who seek will find opportunity in the constantly evolving country. High hopes are held with Modi leading India to the way of success, with expectations for great success in the smart cities project, which will open up opportunities to give the security industry a boost it needs to get back on track.

Indian Security Industry Turns to Solutions Currently, India’s security market is still quite product driven, where people are familiar with various products and is fast to accept them. However, the market competition over price has resulted in companies competing for market share by reducing product price. One major network camera vendor pointed out that their unit prices were forced to drop approximately 10 percent in 2014. Therefore, many security companies turn to solutions or try to enhance products for application use. “Although many vendors claim to be solution providers, very few take a problem-centric solution approach, therefore education and promotion are needed to bridge the gap," Santosh Pillai, Director and CTO of 2020 Imaging explained. With companies such as Autocop India (Facility Security Division) transitioning to become a solution provider, focusing on end to end solutions, systems integrator (SI) partners are able to

gain better margins from value added services. According to Maluik Shah, CEO of FSD at Autocop, “We provide central monitoring systems, command and control systems to SIs so they can provide central monitoring services to end users. For example, in events with banks that have more ATMs and branch offices, a central monitoring system can provide ATMs with better protection.” Tamron also has moved to targeting customers through an application based approach rather than just box selling their products, educating customers that their lenses give good quality results for instances in automatic number plate recognition and facial recognition. The company will penetrate deeper into the market, with their main focuses on city surveillance, petroleum, oil and gas, ITS, and industrial sectors, said Ashutosh Fotedar, Assistant Sales Manager for Tamron India.

Stepping Into

New Trends: Video Surveillance in 2015 A new year brings new trends. Many of the trends from 2014 have since turned into industry standards, such as HD resolution and IP surveillance; however, new ones have emerged to keep the security industry on its toes in 2015.

The MarkeT aT a Glance In 2014, video surveillance accounted for approximately 53 percent of the total market share (US$13.5 billion) in terms of global physical security product sales, according to Memoori Business Intelligence. Double-digit growth has been the norm in the video surveillance market over the last decade, and analysts at IHS forecast similar growth in the new year, predicting more than 10 percent growth in 2015. Furthermore, Marketsandmarkets has predicted that the global video surveillance market will reach roughly $42.1 billion at a CAGR of 17 percent for the period 2014 to 2020, with the IP system market expected to grow at a CAGR of 23.5 percent during the same period. Rising crime rates, an increase in terror attacks, and growing security concerns all are contributing to this growth.

Who Reigns Supreme? IP vs. Analog The move to IP is no longer so much a trend as it is simple fact: New installations are going IP and many analog users are upgrading to network-based solutions. With that said, does that mean that IP has finally taken over analog in video surveillance? The answer is yes and no. In terms of revenue, IP sales have surpassed analog sales; however, in terms of quantity, analog shipments still outnumber those of IP. This is poised to change, with analysts believing that IP shipments will take over analog by the end of the decade. Evidence of this shift can be seen in markets like Latin America where the overall market â&#x20AC;&#x201D; one that is heavily focused on

analog â&#x20AC;&#x201D; is now leaning toward IP equipment for the first time (by supplier revenue), according to a report by IHS.

Asia Leads the Way In the world of security, Asia has had a tendency to be a step behind when it comes to the most up-to-date technologies. In the coming years, though, APAC is forecast to be the fasting growing region for IP video surveillance globally at a CAGR of 44.3 percent during the period 2013 to 2020, according to a report by Allied Market Research. The report also pointed out that North America is expected to experience the highest share in the IP video surveillance market by 2020, predicting that the continent would be the highest revenuegenerating segment with a value of about $19 billion in 2020. However, China is estimated to have been the largest 45

regional market for video surveillance equipment, accounting for a third of global revenues in 2013.

the end of 2014, and widespread use of H.265 is expected within the security industry by the second quarter of 2015. This will in no doubt directly impact the adoption of 4K.

Trends for The GrowinG MarkeT

Finding Applications for 4K The entrance of 4K resolution into the security industry was met with both curiosity and excitement. Similar to how HD was expected to be the new standard for image resolution when it was first introduced into the industry (which it since has become), many believe that 4K ultra-high definition (UHD) will eventually replace HD as the standard, and the availability of H.265 in security will be a catalyst to this; however, this change will not happen overnight. “4K will certainly be a trend to watch, though broad adoption will be problematic for the security industry at this point due to limitations on current camera form factor/lens combination, bandwidth, and storage constraints and the cost of the equipment versus the benefits or necessity of the additional resolution gained with the technology,” Carney said. Despite the current limitations, many of the obstacles should soon be resolved. Aside from H.265 helping with data compression, the rapid rollout of 4G across the globe should assist in dealing with bandwidth problems, as well as better, improved accompanying hardware (e.g., lenses, monitors, etc.).

Along with growth come trends, trends that help drive growth and keep the market up-to-date with new and exciting technologies. In 2014, we saw IP surveillance become a norm and HD resolution become a standard. In the following, a&s explores a few of what we expect to be the most popular video surveillance trends for 2015.

High Efficiency Video Coding (H.265)

May 2015 www.asindia.in

JAN 2015 ● www.asmag.com

One of the most important developments for 2015 will be that of high efficiency video coding (HVEC), also known as H.265, which directly relates to another trend: 4K resolution. HVEC will play a significant role in the feasibility of 4K in security applications. According to security experts, about 90 percent of surveillance products currently use HVEC’s predecessor H.264 for compression. However, that is set to change. “Our outlook is that most future advancements in the market will focus on compression, as the megapixel market has evolved extremely quickly and the compression will need to advance nearly as quickly to meet the growing demand for higher resolution images. H.265 may be the answer to this as there is a tremendous amount of computational power required for the compression and decompression of these images that the industry is currently grappling with,” said Stephen Carney, Director of Video Product Line Management at Tyco Security Products. Pervasive use of H.265 has many implications for the security industry. With the ability to double the data compression ratio compared to H.264 at the same level of video quality, H.265 will greatly improve the usability of 4K in security applications. In fact, both Hisilicon and Ambarella introduced IP camera SoCs based on H.265 at

Stephen Carney, Director, Video Product Line Management, Tyco Security Products Koji Maunari, GM, Industrial Optics Business Unit, Tamron Johan Paulsson, CTO, Axis Communications Erika Gorge, Corporate Communications Manager, Bosch Security Systems

The rapid development and improvement of HD-over-coaxial solutions will help drive adoption in 2015.

Bigger, Better Image Sensors

The global video surveillance market will reach roughly US$42.1 billion at a CAGR of 17 percent for the period 2014 to 2020.

With the trend of 4K in 2015, along with the fact that HD has become the standard, bigger, better sensors are now needed to support such high-quality images. The trend toward increased value of total image quality will utilize large image sensors, the latest iris system, and high picture quality at near IR, said Koji Maunari, GM of the Industrial Optics Business Unit at Tamron. In fact, the image sensor market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 8 percent from 2014 to 2020, according to a recent report by Marketsandmarkets. Not only are manufacturers coming out with bigger sensors, they are also adding special technologies to further enhance image quality, specifically designed for video surveillance use. Well-known sensor makers such as Aptina, Omivision, and Pixelplus are now pushing out larger image sensors, while companies such as Sony have come out with new sensor

technology specifically addressing the needs of the video surveillance market. The new Starvis technology, a back-illuminated pixel technology used in CMOS sensors specifically designed for video surveillance, was released by Sony in mid-2014. The technology extends from the visible light range to include the near-infrared range to support filming at night, which is often a problem area for 24/7 outdoor surveillance in most CMOS cameras. The improved performance at night will help more extensive adoption of CMOS cameras in the near future. Additionally 4K sensors are also being developed. These new sensors can support up to 12 megapixels (4:3) and 4K (17:9), and even support 4K at up to 60 frames per second. Furthermore, with sensors now reaching 1/1.9 inches, even higher resolution and clearer images are possible.

HD-over-Coax Gets More Advanced HD-over-coaxial solutions are not new to the security industry. In fact, IMS Research, an IHS company, named HD-over-coaxial solutions a trend for 2012; however, at that time the solution in question was more or less

Development of 4K technology will help drive adoption especially with H.265 set to become more widespread in security applications.

limited to HD-SDI, which turned out to be not nearly as cost-effective as the security industry had initially hoped. Yet, like with any technologies a little time has yielded new-and-improved solutions, and 2014 saw just that with the introduction of new HD-over-coaxial solutions. One of the major proponents of HD-over-coax is Dahua Technology, who came out with their HDCVI technology in late 2012. However, it is not until more recently in the last year that the industry has really seen HD-over-coaxial solutions take off, with many other companies coming up with their own technologies and solutions as well, such as AHD, ccHDtv, and HDTVI. HD-SDI has also evolved: The new generation has upgraded in long-distance transmission, and more importantly, has become more cost-effective. Despite the fact that the overall market is going digital, many definitely still see plenty of room for HD-overcoaxial solutions, noting acceptance of the technologies particularly in developing regions such as Asia Pacific and Latin America.

Renewed Life in Intelligent Video Solutions Intelligent functions have been touted for a while in security, but it isn’t until more recently that they have been widely incorporated and desired in video surveillance. In fact, as of recent, a certain degree of analytics on the edge has become a standard feature for most IP cameras. From entry-level to high-end, cameras can now be differentiated by how “smart” they are. As part of this, video surveillance has proved capable of not just recording and reviewing, but preventing and analyzing. “The IP revolution has changed the surveillance cameras from a forensic tool aimed at solving problems after an incident has occurred to becoming a vital part of proactive intelligence chain. Network video cameras collect valuable data that can be analyzed and turned into actionable insights,” said Johan Paulsson, CTO of Axis Communications. The idea of actionable intelligence is one reason intelligent video solutions are seeing an up surge in demand. “We [Verint] believe that actionable intelligence presents an opportunity for customer to implement solutions that enhance security and safety, while reducing operating costs and increasing productivity and efficiency,” said Brian Matthews, VP of Global Marketing and Product Development for Video and Situation Intelligence Solutions at Verint Systems. Another reason demand is growing is due to more developed technology. “Advancements in analytics should also not be ignored, as this segment of the market has progressed to where analytics are accepted as reliable, accurate, and part of the day-to-day operations of a large percentage of users. Some analytics, such as facial recognition, will definitely benefit from the higher resolution images and increasing levels of clarity as camera technology continues to progress,” Carney said. 47

The many benefits that intelligence brings to video surveillance, especially now that the technology is more reliable, are being realized across verticals. Certain verticals like retail have found particular use for intelligent video, where the data is being used for business intelligence. “Especially video content analysis solutions like Bosch’s that do not only automatically trigger alarms on the basis of pre-defined alarm rules, but also enable the tracking of objects,” said Erika Gorge, Corporate Communications Manager at Bosch Security Systems. “This kind of intelligence can also be used to obtain information that goes beyond a pure security purpose such as marketing intelligence information on the scenes being under surveillance — for example number of people (people counting), movement of people, registering characteristics like color or crowd density information.” Furthermore, we will also see a higher adoption of big data for multiple applications, such as smart cities, in 2015, where a smart surveillance camera with advanced VCA could definitely play an important role. We will see how VCA changes a surveillance camera into a content provider for big data. There is a catch, though: Avigilon’s recent acquisition of ObjectVideo’s entire patent portfolio and licensing

program. In the future, Avigilon will replace ObjectVideo as the patent holder to lead the future development of VCA technology, once again reshuffling the intelligence market. The impact this move will have on the security industry as a whole will be massive, and not necessarily in a good way — Avigilon now holds 124 US and international patents and 202 US and international patent applications as a result.

Integrated Systems Become a Must In the past, integration of disparate systems has been a struggle for many users. With newer solutions, the ability to integrate is in high demand, and as such integration has become a focus for many security players. “Integration has been talked about a long time — but as a user experience it has been less than ideal. You will soon see systems that deliver on that promise of a seamless user experience,” said David Gottlieb, Director of Global Marketing Communications at Honeywell Security. William Ku, VP of the Brand Business Division at VIVOTEK echoed confidence in the integration trend: “The full integration of disparate security systems, including video surveillance, intrusion systems, perimeter detection, access control, and real-time intelligent analysis on data will be the trend in managing security in every vertical applications since the security could be secured seamlessly and enable staff to respond to intrusion or threats in a short time and solve the events on-site in an effective way.” The trend for more integrated systems is also what will help push IP growth forward, as the IP market has matured and entered into the late growth stage of its product life cycle. Yet, the low-end market still has significant potential for IP growth, as noted by Karl Erik Traberg, Head of Corporate Communications and Business Development at Milestone Systems. In the middle and high-end markets, however, the trend for more integrated systems will continue to drive IP growth. “In the market for advanced solutions with high camera counts there is a significant opportunity to offer more advanced integrations with access control and other security applications,” he added. “Verint believes in and has realized increased demand for innovative, integrated solutions that combine situation management, communications, and cyber intelligence, and facilitate collaboration across security and law enforcement agencies. We believe that today’s government organizations, institutions, and multinational corporations, in connection with safe city, border control, transportation security, critical infrastructure, and other large-scale security initiatives, are interested in and preparing to deploy unified security solutions that fuse data from a wide range of security systems and intelligence sources to enable efficient information correlation and analysis,” Matthews said.

hope for 2015 Better sensors are now needed to support the demand for high-quality images.

A lot of major changes took place in 2014 that has in a way left a question mark hanging over the fate of the security industry — the Canon Europe acquisition of Milestone Systems, Anixter acquisition of Tri-Ed, and most recently the selling of Samsung Techwin to Hanwha Group. Yet, one thing is for certain: there will always be a need for security and video surveillance. This sentiment is what industry players are emphasizing when it comes to future growth of the security/surveillance market. Development for the overall market may not be as rapid as it once was, but with the above trends helping to drive surveillance growth, as well as the continued growth of things like video surveillance as a service and cloud computing, there is definitely still upward hope for the future of video surveillance.

How to Plan and install an Intruder Alarm Fire Suppressants (Gas or Aerosol) are expensive and customers & installers are always concerned about reliability of the releasing system. Also they are concerned about accidental release.

SUBMITTED BY MAHESH GAVHANE, DIRECTOR, SECURITY SHELLS INFOTECH

WHAT IS AN INTRUDER ALARM? An intruder alarm system monitors and detects unauthorised entry to properties – homes and businesses alike - and alert the property owner or authorised third parties to an intrusion. For electrical installers, the ability to offer customers the opportunity to have a protection system installed in their properties at the same time that other electrical work is carried out, can generate a lucrative additional revenue stream.

WHY BOTHER WITH INTRUDER ALARMS? Although statistics* show that burglary rates have been dropping, there are still a high percentage of properties that do not have adequate security measures in place. The best deterrent for burglars is an intruder alarm and it needn’t cost the earth to install an effective intruder alarm. Ultimately, an alarm system gives property owners the peace of mind they desire to protect their homes, families, businesses and assets. Only around 10% of residential properties in the India are protected by an intruder alarm system, so by introducing intruder alarm installation to your services, you could significantly grow your business and profits.

DID YOU KNOW? May 2015

Homes and businesses which do not employ any form of security measures are 10 times more likely to be burgled than those with simple security measures

www.asindia.in

•

Homes and businesses with no burglar alarm are three times more likely to be broken into than those with alarms. 56

•

Around 20% of all house burglaries are carried out without forced entry. A burglar may see an open window or other easy point of entry and take their chance. Visible burglar alarms make intruders think twice. They not only act as a deterrent, but will also provide a warning that an intrusion is taking place.

WHAT ARE THE COMPONENTS OF A BURGLAR ALARM? The intruder system comprises detectors, control panels and communications devices. Detectors identify and react to specific occurrences including movement, shock, vibration, smoke, heat, and flood.

Different types of detectors are available, each protecting different aspects of the property. These include: • Passive infrared sensors (PIRs) detect people moving using infrared heat sensing. • Dual Technology sensors use combined infrared and microwave sensing technologies to help reduce false alarms. • Magnetic door contacts detect the opening and closing of doors and windows. • Glass break sensors listen for the specific noise of breaking glass. • Shock sensors detect attacks on doors and windows.

•

Smoke sensors can be connected to the intruder alarm system to detect fire.

ANALYSIS The control panel is the brains of the system to which detectors are connected. It analyses and actions signals from detectors and is operated by a keypad. Keypads are sometimes integrated into the control panel e.g. Optima Compact or these can be remote with LED or LCD displays. LED keypads communicate alarm system status using LED indicators. LCD keypads use text displays to give a fuller picture of the alarm status including event logs, entry and exit times of users, and ultimately enable speedy identification of alarm sources.

Control panels come in different shapes, sizes and complexities depending on the type and size of property to protect. • • • •

The first part of this guide gave you intruder alarm basics, including the benefits of intruder alarms, main intruder alarm system components and how to plan and lay out an intruder alarm system. tones and rhythms to communicate the type of alarm internally and/or externally. Externally mounted sounders and sirens are a good visual deterrent for potential intruders and quickly alert property owners and neighbours to an intrusion. The strobe helps to identify the house when an alarm has gone off.

ALERTS Communications devices such as speech dialler send pre-recorded voice messages by telephone when an alarm is triggered. These messages can be sent to the homeowner or nominated contacts either via land line or mobile phone. This is particularly useful for isolated properties and allows action to be taken when property owners are away from home.

PLANNING AND LAYING OUT AN INTRUDER ALARM

•

May 2015

Step 1: Conduct a site survey with your customer To ensure that you get the correct intruder alarm system for your customer, you need to carefully plan and design the system. This is achieved by conducting a short site survey in consultation with your customer. The following questions will help you identify exactly what your customer wants to protect, and will enable you to map out the system plan and identify the most suitable components.

THE SITE SURVEY •

www.asindia.in

Is the property isolated or in a built up area? 58

• • •

•

• • •

What parts of the property have to be protected? Does the entire property or just part require to be protected? What areas does the customer want to protect to identify the number of zones required? How many entry doors exist at the property and that require protection? In addition to intruder protection, does the customer require fire protection? How many zones will be required? What type of keypad does the customer require (integral, LED or LCD)? Does the customer require additional keypads? Where will the control panel be located? Does the customer require the windows to be protected? How many rooms are to be protected with movement detectors? Does the customer have pets that will remain in the house when the system is set? What type of alert is required? (sounding/visual/remote phone communication)? Where will the external siren be located? Is a dummy siren also required? Is key fob operation more suited to the household?

Step 2: Map out the property and select products Using the information you have obtained during the site survey, map out property layout and select the most

Part two will help you to correctly position, install and commission the components of an intruder alarm system as well as giving you some visual hints and tips on best practice and how to avoid common pitfalls and mistakes.

POSITIONING AND INSTALLING THE INTRUDER ALARM SYSTEM COMPONENTS 1. Control Panels POSITIONING • For control panels with onboard keyboards should be installed near the main access point in a convenient location for mains electricity supply and for user operation. • For control panels which are operated using remote keypads, the panel can be concealed inside a cupboard or loft space in a convenient location for mains electricity supply and it makes the cabling to the sounder much easier. BEST PRACTICE It is best to install the control panel first HINTS AND TIPS • Check the panel voltage to ensure that the control panel has power. REMEMBER to disconnect power before proceeding with the installation of peripherals • Remember to link out any zones that you are not using, you need to use a wire link across the Unused zones

•

The stand by battery can take several hours to charge up so it is a good idea to charge batteries before commencing the installation

2. Remote LCD Keypads POSITIONING Mount in a convenient location which allows easy operation for the system users, typically close to the main door, back door and master bedroom. HINTS AND TIPS • Remember to check that the tamper spring on the keypads is closed • It is recommended to use the tamper spring whenever the keypad is mounted against a wall so that it is triggered if an attempt is made to remove it.

May 2015

3. PIR Motion Sensors POSITIONING • Install the sensor at a height of 2.3m-2.7m. • Avoid direct or reflected sunlight remembering that the sun moves around during the year! • Position the sensor away from windows and heating/ cooling devices such as radiators and fans. • The sensor must have a clear line of sight to the protection area.

www.asindia.in

How to avoid the common mistakes with installing PIRs • Where the PIR has a look down or “sneak” zone, ensure that this is not obstructed • Pay attention to avoid blind spots when positioning sensors • Always adjust the sensitivity of each sensor once it is mounted, taking into consideration the lighting, the proximity to radiators, windows, mirrors and other external influences. • Tamper switches often cause problems. If you are using the tamper switch ensure that the tamper switch is closed. If you are not installing the tamper circuit (not advised) you need to ensure that the tamper circuit is linked out at the control panel.

4. Pet Tolerant Detectors POSITIONING • Follow the instructions for positioning PIR motion sensors • Select correct pet tolerant setting using the black jumper

HINTS AND TIPS • If wall is not square you may need to alter the state of the plastic to make sure when mounting that you hear the tamper spring “click”, closing the circuit • Using the black jumper, you can easily set the red LED light to ON or OFF as indicated below. This is particularly useful in living rooms where the LED flashing on and off could be distracting • Allow up to one minute for the PIR to calibrate itself

POSITIONING • Mount the main part (part with connectors) on the fixed part of the door or window frame. Do not mount them further than 3” from the opening side of the door. • Mount the magnet on the mobile part of the door or window so that it is adjacent to the main part. • Ensure that the two parts are opposite each other and a small gap has been left.

5. Smoke Sensors POSITIONING • Place in or just outside bedrooms or in the hallway close to any sleeping area. The top of the stairs is also a good place HINTS AND TIPS • Do NOT place smoke sensors in kitchens or bathroom 6. Door Contacts

HINTS AND TIPS • Ensure that wires are hidden so that they cannot be damaged. • Ensure that wires are hidden so that they cannot be Please note that some Honeywell door contacts have two rather than five terminals • If there are only two screws, a tamper loop will need to be created by twisting the cables then insulating them with electrical tape. • Wrap the wire around the screw in a clockwise direction and tighten the screw for the best connection 7. External Sirens & Bells POSITIONING • Install in a high location from which the strobe can be seen and the siren heard

8. Internal Siren POSITIONING • Place in the centre of the home out of reach 9. Speech Dialler Communications POSITIONING • Locate where it can be easily operated by system users and in a convenient location for connection to the phone line. • If possible, do not connect other telephone apparatus to the same line BEST PRACTICE • Connect the speech dialler directly into the control panel • Once wired in, test that the dialler dials through before programming the prerecorded alert messages according to trigger cause (e.g. intruder, fire, flood)

Ensure that the speech dialler is the first item on the telephone line i.e. the first “slave socket” to be connected to the master socket (where more than one apparatus is unavoidable). This allows the speech dialler to “snatch the line” or disconnect any other call should it be triggered

INSTALLATION ADVICE AND BEST PRACTICE When installing an intruder alarm it is imperative that you follow the necessary Health and Safety requirements. Installation of the intruder alarm is straight forward provided that the installer is a qualified and experienced electrician. GENERAL HINTS AND TIPS •

HINTS AND TIPS • Ensure that the tamper is closed

HOW TO AVOID THE COMMON MISTAKES WITH INSTALLING A SPEECH DIALLER • •

•

Use multiple core alarm cable and decide at the outset which colours you will use – Convention suggests red is live (+12V) and black is negative (0 Volts). Remember to “tin” the wire. Do not over tighten the screw on the connector block as this can shear the wire. When using the global tamper circuit, this is a continuous loop through all zones (contacts, PIRs PA devices etc) so all tampers need to be wired

1) Do not work using live circuits 2) Run the wires to all the locations of the peripherals 3) Mount the control panel in the desired location 4) Mount the keypad on the wall in the location agreed with the customer 5) Wire up the peripherals (detectors, bell boxes, communication devices…etc) 6) Activate the power 7) Carry out a walk test and check the system is working

The security has been major concern for a big business enterprise like CONCOR India where thousands of tons of items are loaded from their terminals. The containers carry valuable and perishable items across various locations in India. It is an absolute requirement to transfer and deliver the materials safely and without damage. The surveillance was required at container terminals to view, monitor, and record the loading and unloading activities. Besides, live coverage of these activities has to be accessed by authorized officials on their PCs and Laptops. 64

n beautiful Tuolumne, California, set in the scenic Sierra Foothills of the Sierra Nevada Mountains, sits the Black Oak Casino Resort, owned and operated by the Tuolumne Band of Me-Wuk Indians. Greeting guests with the traditional native welcome of “M-Chucksus!”, the Black Oak Casino Resort provides 164,000+ square feet of gaming and entertainment options: a conference event center, real and video slot machines, table games, poker, nine restaurants and bars, a bowling center, players club, gift shop, and a kids’ arcade. In addition, the entertainment venue, the Willow Creek Lounge, hosts live entertainment three nights a week. The casino also features the state’s largest smoke-free gaming area. “We aim to offer our guests a resort destination for the whole family,” says Edewaa Ti Foster, the Commissioner and Vice Chair of the Tuolumne Me-Wuk Tribal Gaming Agency. 66

Providing an environment where there are activities for all age levels, protecting the physical safety of its patrons, employees and others in the gaming facility as well safeguarding assets that are associated with the facility is not an easy task. Therefore the type of surveillance security employed at the Black Oak Casino Resort becomes a top priority. “With a property as large as the Black Oak Casino Resort and with so many various activities, keeping an eye on assets and balancing that with creating a safe environment is definitely a challenge,” said Todd Flowers, President of Surveillance Systems Integration (SSI), based out of Roseville, California, the company selected to manage the project. The Black Oak Casino Resort, operating in Tuolumne since 2001, recently decided that it was time to upgrade its existing surveillance system to keep up with the changing needs of its

The primary goals for Black Oak Casino Resort were to switch to high definition cameras, enhance the virtual matrix capability, provide a migration strategy and the equipment to upgrade to a full internet protocol (IP)-based system, and transition in a way that would be easy for the security staff to adopt. The initial project was to be done in phases over a period of 15 months. “We started with replacing the existing standard definition analog cameras with over 400 new high definition (HD) fixed cameras, along with HD, 1080P PTZ dome cameras,” said Flowers. High definition cameras offer security surveillance employees and law enforcement officers superior access and use of video surveillance, with more detail and wider coverage, especially helpful for video review and identification purposes. Although HD images are larger and would

“

In addition to the new cameras, SSI also removed the existing legacy analog video matrix that provided live video and control of the existing analog pan/tilt/zoom (PTZ) cameras and replaced it with the latest Pelco Endura 2.0 Video Management System (VMS). The change was made to allow full virtual matrix capabilities suitable for live surveillance applications (one of the property’s primary goals) as well as leverage the existing analog cameras, wiring, and control in a complete network environment. This upgrade provided a seamless migration to the new system while allowing the security staff to maintain full control on the existing legacy analog cameras; more importantly, it created an expandable platform that would allow the addition of any number of new high definition IP cameras and operator stations without losing the responsive control and reliability of the virtual matrix.

As part of the upgrade, the Black Oak Casino Resort also had to consider how the new IP-based HD video would impact their storage of the surveillance footage. In the phased migration, new Pelco 36 TB network storage managers were installed to replace the legacy network video recorders (NVR). “By replacing the existing storage with a new NSM5200-36 network storage manager, we allowed existing MPEG4 encoded video streams from analog cameras in the system to be recorded on the same platform as the new high definition cameras that stream using the more efficient H.264 protocol. In addition, the inherent distributed architecture of the Endura IP VMS system allowed us to eliminate the potential of

In order to properly deal with the tremendous amount of network traffic on this state-of-the-art IP video system and help the property realize the full potential of their video surveillance equipment, we chose Avaya Fabric Connect technology built on IEEE and IETF SPB protocol. This standards based solution eliminates the complexity and limitations of traditional network offerings, and offered us the flexibility we needed to complete the full virtual matrix and accomplish the goals initially presented to us by the customer.

naturally take more bandwidth, and possibly clog up the IT infrastructure, there have been advancements in the handling of IP-based data streams. Unique data routing protocols and advanced codecs, like H.264, are able to compress the video and audio for transmission with significantly less bandwidth burden.

single points of failure so that the system could operate without interruption. “The NSM5200’s multicast recording capability further streamlined the impact of HD cameras on the IT network,” and allow the recording of multicast data streams,” said Flowers. The surveillance room was upgraded with a new video wall that included 20 46” class LED monitors, three 24” LED monitors and a 70” class LED monitor. The video wall monitors are driven by Pelco NET5402RHD video decoders. Seven operators have a VCD5202 video console display and KBD5000 series keyboard to view live and recorded video at each operator desk. SSI also provided additional video console displays, Endura Workstations and monitors for various personnel outside of the main surveillance room thanks to the upgrade to a full virtual matrix. SSI chose Avaya’s Fabric Connect technology and Virtual Services Platform. Avaya Fabric Connect combines the best of Ethernet and the best of IP technology, which enables the deployment of layer 2 and layer 3 virtualized services with optimized routing and multicast. The solution included a fully redundant 10-gigabit mesh network

connecting the virtual services platforms. This simple-todeploy network provides full system capability and easy future expansion opportunities. “Despite the challenges that we knew the upgrades would present, we were extremely pleased with the advanced awareness of retrofit needs and knowledge of new technologies, not to mention the professional way that SSI exceeded our expectations in their service,” Foster commented. In concluding the current project, Foster had one last thing to say: “We are proud of all the work our surveillance and security staff members do, and we know that technology plays a big part in it. While security surveillance is usually recognized as the dome cameras you see in businesses, these systems go well beyond the walls of the facility and are critical in helping us provide our guests with a safe and consistent experience while they are at our property. It took a “power team” to produce a power system and I am very proud of the end result! Thank you SSI, Pelco, Avaya and our TGA surveillance and surveillance tech teams.”

Hikvision Provides a Safe and Secure Harbour for Dun Laoghaire Lying 12 kilometres south of Dublin City Centre, Dún Laoghaire (pronounced Dunleary) is widely recognised as having one of the finest man-made harbours in the world. The harbour itself consists of two huge granite piers. The East Pier is one mile long, the West Pier even longer, and together they enclose more than 100 hectares of terminal buildings, car and lorry parks, commercial piers, and leisure craft marinas. Having been the major gateway to England for goods and people for 200 years, it is also now on track to becoming Ireland’s major marine, leisure and tourism destination having received significant investment to extend its recreational and amenity value. Keeping this huge area safe for all visitors is a major undertaking and Hikvision cameras and hybrid recorders have recently been added to make sure this happens. SUBMITTED BY TYCO SECURITY

the existing system incapable of keeping up with the increasing pressures of the site and Cork-based Hikvision distributor Mercury SD was called in to advise on upgrading the entire system.

Overcoming the challenge of existing infrastructure and low visibility

May 2015 www.asindia.in

The harbour complex is managed by the Dún Laoghaire Harbour Company (DLHC) and it has been a user of CCTV for many years. The coax-cable analogue system betrays its age by concentrating heavily on the ferry terminal and the immediate surroundings – the harbour’s raison d’etre throughout the twentieth century. However, even a once busy ferry operation takes up just a relatively small part of the massive harbour. With the East and West Piers separated by more than a kilometre at their mainland ends and extending far out into the Irish Sea, there is a large area contained by the two piers

that has become a bustling hub of activity. It is now home to many marine activitybased businesses ranging from a Powerboat School to Yacht clubs and a Scuba Diving centre and a very large and still growing Marina complex for private leisure craft of all sizes. And, around the older ferry terminal, the new activities have given rise to a new generation of restaurants, car parks and other leisure businesses. DLHC became increasingly concerned that the existing analogue CCTV infrastructure was only giving them a good overview of an increasingly marginal resource – the ferry terminal – and not providing an adequate level of surveillance of the new activities. What was clear was that

“Providing effective surveillance throughout Dun Laoghaire Harbour was a challenging prospect,” says Kevin O’Connell, System Designer at Mercury SD. “The landside of the harbour is an increasingly busy and crowded area, the older ferry terminal now surrounded by a large number of newer tourist hotspots and commercial areas, and then we also had to consider the explosion of water moorings and activities that the old system was never designed to accommodate. The whole focus of the CCTV surveillance system had to change into one that encompassed the whole harbour complex. “The harbour is also highly prone to extremely variable weather conditions, including frequent occurrences of high winds, severe rain and fog. Visibility can go from clear to poor in minutes and this means any new CCTV system that has a remit to concentrate its surveillance on the exposed harbour walls and marina complex should be capable of coping with the worst of these environmental extremes while continuing to deliver clear images. “Finally, DLHC were keen to retain the existing analogue system if possible whilst extending the reach of the CCTV system to the entire 100 hectare site.”

A modernised coastal surveillance solution

Kevin O’Connell and other members of the design and installation team at Mercury SD made three site visits to the harbour before proposing their detailed scheme for a hybrid solution. The new plan retained all the existing coax cable that was laid within the harbour and concentrated the existing analogue cameras to cover the ferry terminal and its immediate surroundings. Some of the new Hikvision IP cameras were then added to the coax cabling using IP over Coax transceivers while the IP cameras intended to greatly extend the reach and scope of the surveillance to the more far-flung reaches of the harbour were linked in using Ubiquiti wireless links. All the cameras link back to the pair of Hikvision hybrid recorders located in the harbour office near the ferry terminal, from where a PTZ camera in the lighthouse is controlled.

Whatever the weather

“All the new cameras offer Hikvision’s SMART imaging and detection, most prominently the Smart Defog and Smart IR features,” explains Kevin. “These technologies in particular were a huge selling point for the new solution, overcoming the problems that burdened the old CCTV system when the harbour was beset by the unpredictable weather, even though most of the analogue cameras were indoors.” The Smart Defog and Smart IR features help improve the clarity of images. Smart Defog modifies the image correction algorithm to improve the whole image’s visibility and clarity in poor weather conditions, such as rain or severe fog. Smart IR addresses the common problem of overexposure of IR LEDs at the centre of images, automatically adjusting the IR strength to improve visibility. All except one of the new Hikvision cameras were enclosed in a marine grade housing; being DS-2CD4012F 1.3 megapixel SMART IPC units along with DS-2CD4032F-A

3 megapixel pieces. The Hikvision DS2DF7284-A Network IR Speed Dome Camera was installed at the lighthouse as part of the new upgrade. Regularly used in busy areas such as stations, airports, railways and commercial centres, it oversees some of the busiest parts of the harbour and is a core CCTV feed for the harbour team. This PTZ camera provides 360° surveillance through its endless high-speed panning capability, offers a large 20x optical zoom capability to detect the smallest details and combines this with an IR range of up to 120 metres. The camera can also be shared by the emergency sea rescue services in the event of an incident in close proximity. “At the centre of the new surveillance solution are Hikvision DS-9016HFI-ST 16/16 Hybrid Recorders, which enabled us to retain the majority of the older analogue cameras while adding in the Hikvision IP units,” adds Kevin. “The DS-9016HFI-ST features H.264 video compression, a recording resolution of up to 5 megapixels, 16 channel synchronous playback, and also HDMI and VGA output at

up to 1080p, alongside a storage capacity of up to 12TB.”

Exceeding Expectations

The installation of the new surveillance solution has proved an immediate success. Tim Ryan, Harbour Manager at Dun Laoghaire says, “The Hikvision system specified has exceeded our initial expectations. We use the system 24 hours a day to monitor the inner harbour area, consisting of car parks, walkways, buildings, busy junctions and ship berthing areas. We have been able to provide An Garda Siochana (the police force) with evidence for a number of incidents that have occurred since the installation. In each case the coverage and quality of footage was of a high standard. The DS-2DF7284-A PTZ camera installed at our East Pier Lighthouse has proven beneficial in assisting with Search and Rescue and has the capability to be utilised by the local Coast Guard unit to monitor and record an incident on land or sea. Our recording equipment allows us to archive footage for approximately sixty days, which is also hugely beneficial to us.” 71

Security Should Be The New Smart for the Smart City Concept The city administration needs situational awareness for proactive actions

SUBMITTED BY RAMESH IYER, CEO & VICE CHAIRMAN, TOPSGRUP

Ramesh Iyer, CEO & Vice Chairman, Topsgrup

ities must adapt to the challenges that modernity has brought along with it in this new digital era. One of these challenges is to reconcile technology with all aspects of the city, a concept better known as a smart city. The smart city is a city which uses digital technology to run itself and manage resources efficiently. A city can be defined as smart, once all the eight key aspects that make the foundation of a city are identified as smart: governance, energy, building, infrastructures, mobility, technology, healthcare and safety. Indeed, all nations in the world are now racing to create smart cities within their territories to ensure that all aspects of life are critically improved and made smart so to guarantee citizens’ wellbeing. From Stockholm, to Berlin, Paris and Barcelona, national governments, local municipalities are focused on implementing smart technologies across all major domains. The new power players of the world, the likes of India, Nigeria, Brazil, Turkey, China, are now learning this lesson and running with this vision in their elected governments.

May 2015 www.asindia.in

India’s Prime Minister, Narendra Modi, has vouched to create 100 smart cities, which will be known as super cities. The cities will be outfitted with hightech communication capabilities - across the country. Along with that, modern satellite towns will be developed around existing cities under the programme. The 78

Prime Minister‘s foresight is concomitant with India’s trend of continuous growth (down from its population to its services). It will be able to accommodate the rapidly increasing urbanization rates, propelling the country to play an even bigger role on the world stage, teaching the world how to reconcile digitalization, citybuilding and an increment in population.

first in order to guarantee the establishment of a real smart city. The physical and virtual safeguard of vulnerable members of society, such as women, children and the elderly must be pivotal to the success of a nation’s progress and India’s government is doing things the right way in its approach to achieve it.

Although the major facets for a successful smart city are taken into account, nonetheless, I have noticed that one facet seems to be overlooked, security. Security should be the top priority when implementing and drafting a smart city programme. However, many a time it is ignored or not prioritized, forgetting that smart security could improve not solely the lives and safety of its citizens, but also make an impact on the other key aspects comprising a city, and in so doing will protect the national critical infrastructures in the other sectors.

Japan and many American companies, such as Cisco, have pledged to assist, fund and invest in making Indian cities smart. Many nations at the forefront of the smart cities’ concept, such as Germany, Sweden and the Netherlands show us that national governments can benefit from public-private partnerships to implement security models. Indeed, India’s vast population will benefit from a strong collaboration with private players in the security industry, to provide them with guidance on how to cater to all and guarantee the highest level of safety that citizens need.

The unfortunate cases of rape, violence and aggressiveness in India have showed us that safety should include traditional and digital elements, to further extend the effectiveness of security on a multi-dimensional approach to a greater reach in one of the biggest and most populated nations on Earth.

Many countries are jumping on the smart cities bandwagon, but with its commitment and the many projects under way, India is leading the way. With smart cities, India, the government and the security private sector can truly provide the world with the apposite guidelines to build fully-functional smart cities that will not only provide services to its citizens, but also raise the bar when it comes to first class security provision.

Therefore, a proof security system must be ‘smartened’ and implemented

Digital Footprint Safety Around 40% of the world population has an Internet connection today. In 1995, it was less than 1%. Internet can today be accessed via a computer, mobile telephone, PDA, games machine, digital TV, etc. The rapid expansion and penetration of Internet has created a virtual galaxy of information, accessible to almost anyone from anywhere in the world. The advantages of this pool of information are inexhaustible; however it has also created a lucrative opportunity for cyber criminals. SUBMITTED BY SHREEKANT ROAD, ANALYST, MITKAT ADVISORY SERVICES

eant to be a platform for information sharing, the Internet permanently stores any and every information fed into it, intentionally or unintentionally, in a cloud of data. All this information becomes a part of the public domain, with the original creator of the content often losing control over which part of the world the information reaches, who uses it, and how it is used. One share on Facebook, a tweet on Twitter, or a post on a blog, is enough for a piece of information to reach millions of Internet users around the world. Thus, it assumes paramount importance that users of digital services take some precautions to stay safe. Internet creates an identity trail of every user, using the information shared by them and navigation patterns. Many bits of seemingly unconnected information can be pieced together to create a digital profile of each person. This is being increasingly used by cyber criminals to perpetrate financial crimes, identity thefts or creating some intelligence that could be sold in the market.

DIGITAL FOOTPRINT Digital footprint refers to the data that we leave behind when we use digital services like websites, social media platforms, smart phone applications and other Internet services which we interact with.

Passive footprint - Many websites collect user data like browsing history, IP addresses, geographical location and login information in the form of “cookies”. Cookies help in creating a string of usage data or digital footprint that pertains to a specific user. The data is automatically recorded without the user giving out information. Most users do not realise this, but by default, web browsers contain thousands of cookies, created and placed by every website visited by the user. These must be deleted from time to time. Active footprint - This is created through the personal data released deliberately by a user. This data often contains specific information pertaining to a person’s identity and habits. For example, posting a status updates on a social media platform can allow other users to infer your current geographical location, the activity you are involved in and with whom. The digital trail left behind on social media platforms includes not only posts, but also “likes” and “shares” performed by a user.

THREATS Cyber fraud - The information is frequently being utilised to commit cyber frauds. The space is gaining popularity amongst criminals as they can commit these crimes from a remote location and with the rising number of Internet users and expansion of financial services through apps and websites, the potential victims and amount of money is also multiplying.

Cyber stalking - another major crime that is frequently being reported, wherein the attacker harasses a victim using electronic communication, such as e-mail or instant messaging (IM), or messages posted to a Web site or a discussion group. Cyber stalkers may also try to target their potential victims in the real world. Identity theft - Divulgence of too much information may also make to

vulnerable to identity theft.

Unsolicited marketing - While not considered dangerous, digital footprints also aid marketers in targeted marketing, which could be quite a nuisance, if unsolicited. Reputational risk Even information that is not critical may affect your reputation on the Internet, which has repercussions in the real world. SAFETY TIPS Think before you post; one must exercise restraint in posting sensitive information on the web. Regularly review privacy settings on all online accounts as privacy policies of social websites are updated frequently. Do not disclose your personal address, phone number, passwords, bank card numbers etc. even in private messages. Avoid using social networking sites at work. Many hackers target their victims and computer systems through social media sites.Use caution when you receive links in messages on your social networking site.Be wary of unknown persons sending friend requests on social networks. Be careful about the information you reveal about your workplace or company on your social networking site. With Internet use and penetration set to increase manifold in the coming years, cyber threats can also be expected to increase, in frequency and complexity, at an exponential rate. Protecting your digital footprint is thus an on going process and should form a vital component of your online behavioural pattern. Besides individuals, organisations should also take up certain precautionary measures to safeguard their employees, thus preventing any spill over from their personal lives to professional lives. Organisations must develop a culture of practicing highest levels of information security through conduct of sensitisation and awareness campaigns 79

Reliance Cloud Video Surveillance: An Integrated Service for Your Multisite Needs Reliance Cloud Video Surveillance (RCVS) is a landmark one-stop-shop solution designed to provide seamless surveillance of all your sites across the country.

recording at the Cloud, in addition to continuous local recording. This means that even if the Network Digital Video Recorder (NDVR) at the affected site gets completely damaged or stolen, the recording of the event which caused the alert is still available. Since it rides on Reliance’s extensive connectivity covering over 200 cities, 24,000 towns and 600,000 villages across the country, it can be installed virtually anywhere in the country! Deepak Khanna, CEO, India Enterprise Business, Reliance Communications

et’s say you’re responsible for ensuring the safety of business assets across multiple locations. As the business grows and assets get more widespread, how do you ensure security of assets without the uncertainty of human judgment and errors? How do you ensure quick corrective action in case danger strikes? Video surveillance certainly provides an easy, automated solution to the security challenge. However, the realities of today demand a lot from your video surveillance system. Not only does it have to keep a watchful eye on your business assets 24x7, it also needs be intelligent enough to alert you instantaneously whenever it senses unusual activity. It has to ensure that video evidence is available for investigation even if attempts are made to destroy the video storage device.

May 2015

There is a tailor-made solution that addresses this need squarely – Reliance Cloud Video Surveillance (RCVS). It is a landmark one-stop-shop solution designed to provide seamless surveillance of all your sites across the country.

www.asindia.in

Utilizing Secure Video Surveillance Cloud (SVSC) technology powered by Reliance’s already existing countrywide connectivity and cloud infrastructure, the system also incorporates alert-based 80

Using low light, vandal-proof cameras, high compression technology with good quality video using H.264 (MPEG-4 Part 10, Advanced Video Coding (MPEG-4 AVC) video compression format, its in-built storage enables 15 days of continuous recording. Monitoring is possible from anywhere and event-based alerts are notified on your registered email addresses. Besides, the solution enables you to incorporate one or more external sensors (for door break-in, glass break-in, infrared beam detectors, sound monitors), needed. Customers have remote access to the video footage of their sites. Authorised users can access event-triggered feeds from anywhere on their devices. Even live feeds can be accessed from anywhere from the Reliance Private Network. Analytics for a wide range of security and business intelligence applications (such as movement detection, zoning, privacy masking) is available, backed by a 24x7 helpdesk available for troubleshooting. The point of such a solution is simple enough – use technology (in this case connectivity and storage) to make it easier for organizations to derive better business efficiencies from their operations – no matter how widely dispersed they may be. Take a look at the challenges that enterprises today face if they want to deploy a multisite video surveillance

system. Installing surveillance on a network is itself a challenge because of different technologies and diverse components required. Then, many of the available surveillance systems are not easy to use as they may not work on all web browsers. Mobile applications are also quite limited. Even if an organization were to somehow overcome these challenges, it would be faced with the expensive and complex problem of remotely managing multiple digital video recorders and cameras covering widespread locations. And if the organization needed to expand such surveillance, it could find addition of sites quite challenging with unreliable bandwidth at remote locations. Apart from these technical difficulties, installing the required hardware, video management solution, camera licenses, cloud fees, online storage and annual subscriptions can together be a very expensive (apart from time consuming) proposition. So what is unique about RCVS for an enterprise to consider deploying it? Consider the following advantages:

Single Solution: Delivers hardware, cloud services, apps, video sharing, and enterprise management in one simple solution Works Anywhere: Works with Apple and Windows web-browsers (no software to install) – it’s elegant and easy to use

Mobile Genius: Works on iPhone, iPad and Android

Plug and Play: Easy camera set up, one-click cloud connection (no complex network configuration), easy video sharing, and point and click cloud storage Easy Enterprise Management: Manages hundreds of NDVRs and cameras from one simple to use site.

Upgrade firmware, run reports, and get instant alerts.

Cost Effective: Includes all licenses costs, local and cloud storage, management software and portal access. Hardware is priced separately. In a nutshell, Reliance Cloud Video Surveillance is a hassle-free, one-stopshop solution offering end-to-end service across multiple sites, with ease in viewing through a secure access to the portal, allowing local and remote recording, is tamper-proof, offers wide network access and choice of technology for connectivity, is scalable up to 2,000 cameras, comes with manageability options and, and is backed up by a 3-year annual maintenance contract (AMC).

A CASE (STUDY) IN POINT: The RCVS can be better understood through a case study—that of one of the country’s fastest-growing private sector financial services company belonging to one of India’s largest conglomerates. This company provides comprehensive financial solutions that enable its customers to carry out trading and investment activities in a secure, costeffective and convenient manner. During 2013-2014, it had generated revenues of Rs. 350 crore (US$ 59 million) with a panIndia presence with over 7,000 outlets and nearly 7,30,000s broking accounts generating a daily average turnover of about Rs. 2,100 crore.

The Problem: With an increasing number of financial transactions being done at its outlets, the company wanted a solution which could keep a vigil at the stores and also wanted documentary evidence that could be presented, if need be, to law enforcement and legal authorities. The requirement was thus summarized as follows: There was an immediate video surveillance solution requirement in small branches where the customer had no budget to provide for physical security. Customer walk-ins were high in such stores and hence there was an inherent need to monitor them. There was a need for documentary evidence being made available in the case of any

unforeseen incident/malfeasance investigation.

for

The Solution: With the capabilities of addressing all the requirements of this company and the ability to deploy it on a widespread and in a cost-effective manner, Reliance Communications’ Enterprise team pitched RCVS to the customer. Built on SVSC technology that offered distinctive route creation and virtualization, RCVS enabled the customer the ease of logging on to the browserbased VMS from anywhere across India. It was also the most cost-effective solution from among the different choices available by virtue of taking away high infrastructure investments that otherwise would have been needed to be made by the customer. The customer opted for RCVS Package 1 (of the four package options) which offers the country’s firstever, state-of-the-art SIM-based Internet Protocol-based camera with built in NDVR capabilities.

SOLUTION DIAGRAM Benefits to the Customer: The intrinsic benefits that RCVS offered are as follows: The customer was offered a complete solution, eliminating the need to coordinate with multiple vendors. Its alert-based event feeds on the Cloud, even if the NDVR were to be damaged, thus providing crucial evidence for events like intrusions. It offered extensive connectivity, reaching over 1,500 cities

in India and provided convergence of locations over the RCVS Cloud. The solution facilitated corrective action by providing immediate (real-time) event alerts on email to authorized users, and offered access to archived camera feeds through a secure web-based portal; facilitated Business Intelligence with Analytics support, and was the most costeffective solution for video surveillance across the customer’s enterprise! While this customer was from the BFSI segment, RCVS finds its use in almost every industry vertical. It is about leveraging the latest technology, in this case using the power of cloud surveillance to meet the need of monitoring multiple locations from anywhere. For a monthly fee, an enterprise gets comprehensive, end-to-end single-stop solution to meet all its video surveillance needs, across the length and breadth of the country, be it a village, a town or a city, or all of these. Customers can choose from the several packages on offer or, if they so require, from a combination of elements from various packages depending on the number of cameras that are needed to monitor their site(s). Modern video surveillance can do much more than passive recording of sites. With Reliance Cloud Video Surveillance (RCVS), you can give your business the advantage of cutting edge, end-to-end, multisite video surveillance service that is virtually impenetrable.

WD is focusing on Global Storage Market for Surveillance: Darrin Bulik WD, a Western Digital company, is a long-time innovator and storage industry leader. As a storage technology pacesetter, the company produces reliable, high-performance hard disk drives and solid state drives. a&s India conducted a special interview session with the WD’s Top Management team including Khwaja Saifuddin Senior Sales Director - Middle East, Africa & South Asia, WD, Darrin Bulik - Director, Product Marketing, WD and Martin Jefferson - Business Unit Director, Datacenter and Digital Video products, WD at Secutech 2015 BY ANANT JOSHI, a&s INDIA

Our percentage shares is clearly higher than any other hard drive manufacturer. WD Purple has a combination of excellent reliability and durability and comes out on top in all aspects of the comparative tests done by customers against the competition

Darrin Bulik,

Director, Product Marketing, WD

Martin Jefferson ,

Business Unit Director, Datacenter and Digital Video products, WD

Tell us about the global storage and surveillance market evolving in terms of WD’s perspective?

Darrin Bulik: There is quite significant growth in the global storage market for surveillance especially on a percentage basis. It depends on the market and region we are looking at. It is a market we are very focused on as it is a key growing sector

What is the growth rate in percentage when we look at the global scenario for the surveillance segment?

Darrin Bulik: It depends on which market analysis we look at. From a CAGR point of view, it is certainly much better than other segments like the PC space As the surveillance industry is highly cluttered, what does WD plan to bring to the table with regards to the Indian/APAC market?

Q May 2015

www.asindia.in

Darrin Bulik: We closely work with key system manufacturers & designers to understand the needs of a system from a storage point of view. 82

Khwaja Saifuddin,

Senior Sales Director - Middle East, Africa & South Asia, WD

That’s how we arrived at WD Purple; to come up storage that is not any generic hard drive for any PC.WD purple is tuned and optimised for surveillance storage Since the launch of WD Purple in last year, what has been the market response to your surveillance specific storage products?

We follow this with good branding. Purple equals Surveillance has been a very strong form of branding as people can relate the colour to the product.

How do you plan to target the Smart City and Safe City project segments?

Khwaja Saifuddin: We are targeting segments both from bottom and the top

Darrin Bulik : The Market response has been very good.

Optimisations we did in WD Purple was able to show performance benefits in a system as compared to regular desktop hard drives [which cannot record as many channels and have lower bit rate]. Other benefit for our partners is from a qualification point of view - Before WD Purple and surveillance HDD’s, they would need to get a generic hard drive qualified through a lot of engineering resources. But, by having a surveillance specific product like WD Purple they can focus on that product, get it qualified and use that as the recommended hard drive in their surveillance system Martin Jefferson: The response to our purple launch has been beyond our expectations.

We are in touch with consultants, architects, designers, local bodies, state government and central government, to make them understand understand and educate them on the importance of storage It’s not only about the cameras or the DVR’s or NVR’s that you see physically, but everything resides on the hard drive The governments expenditure on infrastructure is for data storage and hence they should not compromise on the quality of the hard drive

Considering the size of these projects, storage is expected to multiply. Does WD plan to come out with special packages for these projects?

Khwaja Saifuddin: It’s too early as the projects are yet to be taken off as

most the

of them conceptual

are

in stages

Delhi, Bangalore, Mumbai, Pune, Hyderabad, Kochi, Lucknow and few other cities have taken off with the projects As everything has a different size and scalability, there is no specific need for special packages We are offering scalability. Starting with traffic signal monitoring and then moving onto hospitals, smart infrastructure for buildings, government offices, schools and universities, etc.

and we keep them involved through various educational and incentive programmes. We work on enhancing their knowledge base because we don’t want them to be just box movers but instead be solution providers. We take pride in the depth of our outreach, which is not only limited to metros and state capitals but also to other B & C class cities of every state. We enhance the knowledge base of the resellers, making them more involved and showing them various paths to diversify in surveillance and security market opportunities if they find the traditional PC markets stagnant, thereby increasing their portfolio

as the resolution and HDR capability went up. The challenge is that at the same time there is going to be transition into a new compression technology which unfortunately offsets some of that higher resolution that’s going to be happening There is still lot more content recorded as the systems become easier to install and more scalable. This line of growth (HD and 4K trend) is conducive for WD

How do you see the adaptation of the 4K trend in India?

As we work with our partners, total package comes into play with infrastructural players as well

How are you forcing the growth in the surveillance storage segment in the Indian markets?

Khwaja Saifuddin: Senior Sales Director Middle East, Africa & South Asia, WD:

Currently we don’t see a need for special package as everything has its own sizes and needs. We cannot judge the need based on the size of the data

Khwaja Saifuddin: From an Indian perspective we cannot compare it to the numbers globally because in matured economies the basis of infrastructure is already present. Some sort of surveillance/security system already existed so now it’s a revamp that is happening in those matured markets In India it’s the first step towards safety and security, hence the growth and business is much higher as compared to the matured markets

It’s still in the infancy state but the acceptance is visible. People who want a quality service have options

What is the strategy that WD has adopted for partners to coax the surveillance markets in the Indian and APAC markets?

Khwaja Saifuddin: Products and partners are a key part of our strategy. Majority of our business is through our partners and we understand their importance in that segment. We do everything to keep that segment as healthy as possible to make sure there is a margin or an involvement from our reseller community in the total scope of business which happen We have partnered with almost all the security solution providers, in India as well as globally Our products complement them and they complement us Majority of the business in India is through the traditional reseller community. It is an integral part for us

Not only in India, but in all adjoining emerging economies, it is the first step that is being taken towards safe and smart cities. Hence, the impact on business in a positive way, is much higher than what we see in other places It’s very difficult to attribute a percentage number to this growth as the channels are not mapped

Q A

Do you see good news for WD in the 4K and HD trend? Darrin Product

Bulik Marketing,

Director, WD:

We are hoping for more good news

Darrin Bulik: There is a benefit moving to higher resolution The benefit of IP is that now one can attach IP components to an analogue system because many people aren’t going to rip of their analogue system and go for IP system. There are systems and applications that don’t have analogue, providing better chances for IP

What are the awards won by WD?

Khwaja Saifuddin: CRN Channel Champion – HDD category

Digit Zero1 Awards – WD VelociRaptor was announced as the winner for storage in the Hard Drive category Exhibit Tech Awards - WD My Cloud was declared the ‘Storage Solution Product of the Year’ VAR India Star Nite Awards 2014 – Best Internal Hard Disk Drive 83

“

7th NCN Award Night – WD green was awarded the ‘Innovative Product of the Year’

We have a lot of initiatives like WD Pedia where we go to local cities for the educational side of things. We have an internal initiative called 'WD Ki Paathshaala' which consists of regular training sessions with our channel partners to apprise them of our offerings, 'WD University' is a valuable resource that makes it easier for the partners to sell WD products by staying up-to-date with product information to build the knowledge and expertise, a loyalty programme called 'my WD Partner Program' which is specifically created to help our resellers, solution providers and system integrators grow their business.

How does WD look at the opportunities in the Cloud storage sector?

Khwaja Saifuddin: For WD it’s about providing storage, either locally or in the cloud. It’s all based on the applications and the softwares that come in accordance As a cloud solution we have our own personal cloud solution - a NAS with a personal cloud capability to access data from anywhere

Do you have a cloud service in the surveillance segment?

Khwaja Saifuddin: Not yet because we provide storage technology to the cloud service providers Darrin Bulik: We are enabling but not essentially providing it

What is the future roadmap for WD in the Indian, APAC and global markets?

Khwaja Saifuddin: We have launched the 6 TB variant of WD Purple. That’s the highest capacity currently available from a surveillance storage perspective

May 2015 www.asindia.in

More than the need for bigger storage, there is a need for more reliable & stable storage which has been the key for WD from day one. We are continuously trying to better our products. We come out with new capacities not just to claim that we are first to do so, but instead take feedbacks from customers, resellers and partners and have rigorous testing before coming out with such products

Khwaja Saifuddin, Senior Sales Director - Middle East, Africa & South Asia, WD We recently expanded the capacity of our WD Re drives from 4 TB to 6 TB. However, this was a global launch and isn’t available in India at the moment Martin Jefferson: As important as capacity growth is, we are looking for stability.

anaging video surveillance for large and multi-location enterprises is a different ball game compared to video surveillance for small organizations. Enterprise video surveillance differs on many dimensions including objectives, priorities, strategies and methods. Multiple and far-flung offices, plants, branches and warehouses operating in different time-zones add to the difficulties. Complexity increases exponentially with increase in number of locations and number of cameras at each location. Moreover, a video surveillance solution needs to adapt to existing enterprise networking and IT infrastructure. All this poses serious challenges in designing, building and implementing a centralized, efficient, reliable and proactive video surveillance solution for an enterprise.

April 2015 www.asindia.in

To overcome these difficulties, Matrix focuses on building IP video surveillance solutions specifically designed to meet diverse and complex needs for large and mid-size organizations spread across multiple buildings, campuses and locations. This enterprise solution centrally manages 1Lakh cameras and 1,000 Recording Servers. It is built on distributed architecture with edge recording to ensure complete optimization of servers and bandwidth. 92

Moreover for proactive security, SATATYA SAMAS comes with video analytics like missing object, perimeter security, motion detection, camera tamper and sends instant notifications like SMS and Email on its identification. With the launch of this cost effective and feature rich Video Surveillance Management solution, Matrix hopes to carve a niche

The Managing Director of Matrix ComSec Ganesh Jivani added “SATATYA SAMAS surpasses most other video surveillance solutions in the market today in width and depth of functions it offers for centralized live view, remotemobile view, recording, playback, video analytics, backup, archival, alerts, notifications and system management. Overall, Matrix SATATYA SAMAS enhances security, productivity and control in an organization.

monitoring and reporting. Recording Servers Recording Servers are connected with video surveillance devices such as cameras, NVRs and HVRs and collect video streams for recording and streaming for live view. Usually, one or multiple recording servers are installed at every site depending on number of cameras used at the site. This edgerecording architecture avoids the need for transporting video streams over expensive bandwidth. In case of sites with few cameras, it is possible to use one recording server for multiple such sites. Devices and Cameras SATATYA SAMAS offers flexibility of using any combination of IP cameras, Matrix Network Video Recorders (NVR) and Hybrid Video Recorders (HVR). SATATYA SAMAS interworks with many popular IP camera brands supporting ONVIF 2.0. Further, an IP camera can be connected directly or through an NVR/ HVR. SATATYA SAMAS: MULTI-LOCATION APPLICATION Matrix SATATYA SAMAS is a modular, flexible and fault-tolerant solution for multi-location organizations by providing easy monitoring, simplified management, multiple connectivity options, quick retrieval and smart storage of data across the locations. Devices installed at the multiple locations can be connected to individual recording servers which then are connected to a single management server. The monitoring of these multiple sites can be done through the various modes like smart client, mobile application and multi-monitor Application. The security officer can monitor the most essential locations by selecting those cameras and viewing them together on a single screen on a TV. These security officials can be allocated locally as well as centrally for providing a dual layer of enhanced security.
