Editor's Note Time Still Needed To Let the Dust Settle in the Market
I
t wasn’t until a recent conversation I had with a Thai distributor focusing on Asian-branded products that I realized how chaotic the market has been. This chaos was responsible for dragging down companies’ profitability, forcing people to think about new strategies to boost business. Upon a closer look, we can summarize the causes of the chaos as follows: • Rapid rollouts of new products: With fierce competition in the security industry, manufacturers seeking to survive must be aggressive in cutting cost and diversifying products. Rapid rollouts of products with new functions offer little breathing room for customers, who are unable to determine the features or functions that they truly need. With installers and systems integrators themselves clueless over these new functions and technologies, users might just as well choose products that are either the newest or the cheapest. • Maturity of technology: With key techniques gained by upstream IC suppliers, technology matures at a faster pace, and production bottlenecks have begun to disappear. This in turn resulted in a narrowing of product diversification. With this narrowing of differences in functionality and quality, reliability is the only thing left to make products stand out. To me, reliability is a hidden quality that is not immediately noticeable. We must use a product for a period of time, be it six months or a year, to notice a drop in functionality. • Users don’t know what they want: This has to do with how much users prioritize security, what risks are too high to bear, what is it that they want security to do for them, and what additional fees will be incurred besides the initial systems installation. These are things that we can help guide users and the market with. When users know clearly what they want, market order will be restored. Besides a clear understanding of what users want, members of the security distribution channel must also know what their values are, where the market is, and how to make themselves even more valuable in target markets. This is a long road, and a&s will continue to focus on market education, for which we would like you to join us. We look forward to hearing from you and welcome any input or suggestions that you are willing to share.

The state-run cement producer PT Semen Indonesia, via its subsidiary, PT Semen Padang, launched construction of its US$279.5 million Indarung VI cement factory in West Sumatra. The new factory, which has an annual capacity to produce 3 million tons of cement, is expected to commence operations in the second half of 2016. State-owned Enterprises Minister Dahlan Iskan, West Sumatra Governor Irwan Prayitno, PT Semen Indonesia CEO Dwi Soetjipto, and PT Semen Padang CEO Munadi Arifin officially launched the construction ceremony. “We are developing the factory as the demand for cement keeps increasing across Sumatra and western parts of Java,” Soetjipto said in Padang, as quoted by kompas.com. With the operation of the new factory, Semen Padang’s total production capacity is expected to increase to 10.5 million tons of cement per year, up from the previous 7.5 million tons. Soetjipto said that Semen Padang sold 6.57 million tons of cement in 2013 with a total market share of 45 percent in Sumatra and western areas of Java.
Energy Development (EDC) is buying an initial 25 percent into a joint venture that will build a total of 220 megawatts in combined power plant capacities in Indonesia. Francis Giles B. Puno, First Philippine Holdings (FPHC) Chief Finance Officer, told reporters at the sidelines of the annual stockholders meeting of FPHC that EDC expects to close the deal by the second half of the year. He did not reveal the name of the joint venture. The Indonesian power concessionaire, together with EDC, will build four geothermal power facilities in Indonesia. The total project cost is estimated at over US$1 billion. “Because Indonesia has adopted a policy of opening up its power sector, EDC is eyeing the country as an arena for expansion,” FPHC Chairman Federico Lopez said.

A new 35-kilometer coastal road costing US$60.3 million will be built from Kg Palu-Palu to Kimanis next year. Kuala Penyu Assemblyman Limus Jury said Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak had approved the federal-funded project. When completed, he said the new road would shorten the present 70 kilometer journey from Kota Kinabalu, bringing relief to many local residents as well as visitors. In addition, the new road will ease traffic flow and congestion along the route following rapid development of the oil and gas industry in the nearby districts and also attract tourists, he added. “The Works Ministry has allocated $1.5 million this year to prepare the project design before its implementation next year,” he said during the district-level Harvest Festival celebration.

The Malaysian government plans to construct a security fence along the Kelantan-Thailand border jointly with the flood mitigation project by the Drainage and Irrigation Department (DID). Home Ministry Policing and Border Security Division Secretary Datuk Ab Rahim Ismail said the security fence would be put above the mitigation project, spanning 68 kilometers, from Sungai Mentua in Tumpat to Rantau Panjang. Ab Rahim said the project would cover a total length of 126 kilometers, up to Sungai Lanas in Jeli, but construction would be carried out in stages. The work would begin once the proposal was approved by the ministry. Ab Rahim, who is also Anti-Smuggling Unit Director General, said it was important to set up the security fence as it would curb illegal entry and smuggling activities. Ministry Secretary General Datuk Mohamad Khalid Sharif had said a special committee had been set up to study the cost and suitable sites for the project. Deputy Natural Resources and Environment Minister Datuk, Dr. James Dawos Mamit, had told the Dewan Rakyat that the mitigation project, which would resolve flood woes at the MalaysiaThailand border near Rantau Panjang, would begin sooner, with its first phase expected to start next year.

Four roads connecting the Thilawa Special Economic Zone (SEZ) are planned for construction, including the Thanlyin-Thilawa main and lower road, the PardagyiThilawa road, and the ThanlyinSeikkan road. Thaketa Bridge, located on the PazundaungDawbon road on the way to Thilawa, will also be rebuilt. Thilawa SEZ is a joint project co-owned between Myanmar and Japan on a 51:49 percent basis. The project is expected to become operational by mid-2015. Factories operating in the Thilawa SEZ were scheduled to be chosen by the end of May. The distribution of water for the economic zone will be done by the Yangon City Development Committee.
The luxury condo development in Yangon is being marketed in Singapore, even though nationals are not allowed to purchase it. The target is the city’s 150,000 expats, who can buy in Bahan Township, Yangon. Foreigners are not allowed to own property in Myanmar, although a draft version of the condominium law is under consideration, which would allow foreigners to purchase property on the sixth story or above, if they do not exceed 40 percent of the building’s total occupants. Tony Picon, Managing Director for Colliers International Myanmar told the PropertyGuru website: “Foreigners are not allowed to own any property, not even a simcard. The market for this project is likely to be Burmese who are living in Singapore who will buy for themselves; or in their family’s name if they do not have citizenship.” Construction of the US$150 million 68 Residence project, which includes 369 apartments, ground-floor shops, an infinity swimming pool, and a basement car park, is planned to start in September and end in 2017.
PHILIPPINES Transportation Scheduled Completion: December 2018 Source: BusinessMirror The largest public-private partnership (PPP) deal of the current administration will be auctioned as scheduled, as all issues raised by the bidders have been addressed and answered. The Department of Transportation and Communications (DOTC) sees no more roadblocks for the US$1.3billion contract’s tender, DOTC Spokesman Michael Arthur C. Sagcal said. The project aims to extend the existing line by 11.7 kilometers, adding eight new stations, where approximately 10.5 kilometers of the extension would-be elevated and 1.2 kilometers will be at grade. The winning bidder will also serve as the operator and the maintenance provider of the railway line. The transportation department will also give the winning bidder the right to design the facility (a $30 million project), which would be auctioned off in the third quarter of the year. The project is expected to be completed by December 2018.

VMS Works Wonders for Verticals
V
MS is demanded by any vertical market that needs video surveillance to keep facilities and premises safe and secure. Operators from different verticals, however, look for different things in their VMS based on the specific demands and needs of their respective industries. The topics of VMS and its applications in different vertical markets took the center stage during this year’s secutech and were a main theme discussed by panelists in the Global Digital Security Forum (GDSF) Asia held alongside the exhibition. During the event, industry experts shared their insights into VMS requirements for different verticals and what they considered to be good video management software.
AIRPORTS/PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION Scalability is one of the first things operators of airports and public transpor-
34
JUNE 2014
tation facilities look for in choosing the right VMS solution. As the number of cameras increases with the construction of new airport terminals or new subway stations, the ability of VMS to grow with the system becomes critical. “When we first did the Taipei subway system, we had 1,000-plus cameras and 17 stations, but the numbers have increased to more than 10,000 cameras and more than 100 stations,” said Isabella Lin, Sales Manager, Overseas Sales Division, Instek Digital, which was chosen as a partner of the Taipei Rapid Transit to deploy video surveillance solutions. “Scalability has become an essential thing.” Reliability, or the ability of a system to maintain stable, steady operation even in the event of system failure, is also crucial. Every piece of video is vital in accident prevention or post-event investigation and is too precious to be lost at any point in time. Management software that enables

▲ Justin Schorn, Co-Founder, Aimetis
▲ Wilson Chin, VP Marketing, APAC, Verint Systems
continuous system access and uninterrupted video streaming is therefore another important factor that airport and public transportation operators look for. Finally, video management software nowadays must include a certain level of intelligence, which analyzes abnormalities in videos and responds to those abnormalities accordingly. When someone intrudes into an off-limits area or loiters on the subway platform, a
solution with good analytics will detect those scenarios and send an alert to the security personnel. This way, tragedies may be prevented, and lives saved. “Analytics is becoming a lot more mature, and we’re seeing new applications,” said Justin Schorn, Co-Founder of Aimetis, which has deployed VMS solutions for airports in major cities around the world including Brasilia, Munich, and Perth. “With no analytics, a solution is a very much passive, not a very reactive one. But with analytics, it’s more of a proactive product.”
SAFE CITY Surveillance plays a critical function in keeping cities safe, livable and responsive to crime, terrorist threats and attacks, accidents and disasters. In a previously released white paper, Milestone Systems, a leading VMS provider, said after a city in Brazil installed a video surveillance system, it noticed a 6 percent reduction in crime. A Nevada police department installed
cameras in a high crime area, and within a year research showed that 52.7percent of the residents felt there was less drug dealing in the area, and 77 percent felt that the surveillance system had enhanced their quality of life. “A safe city project aims to protect citizens and assets. It involves technologies providing situational awareness to various stakeholders, and enables overall operational picture to all relevant agencies,” said Sunny Kong, Director of Sales for Asia at Milestone Systems. Yet meeting those objectives entails more than installing a bunch of cameras on street lamps or traffic signals. It also has to do with monitoring a gargantuan amount of video footage and identifying people, objects or behaviors that are suspicious. Again, this is where analytics comes in. “It’s not so much about identifying a license plate. It’s more about recognizing that the license plate is supposed to be assigned to a white Honda minivan, and now it’s on a black four-door Toyota
Digitalcom Shares Experience in Thai Customs Department Project Digitalcom, a participant in GDSF Asia 2014, shared its experience in helping the Thai Customs Department set up a state-of-the-art surveillance system aiming to strengthen border control. The project began in 2008 and is now in its third phase. The main installation was done by the Communication Authority of Thailand, which rents the system to the customs agency on a yearly basis. Hardware and cameras were provided by Yip In Tsoi, and Digitalcom did the system configuration. The main purpose of the project was to monitor activities at the borders and make sure that no trafficking of any kind took place. Border control gained importance especially after the Thai government raised its tobacco tax this year, an event that caused trafficking of cigarettes from neighboring countries to rise, said Suwich Chitkasemsuk, MD, Digitalcom.
The installation involved the deployment of over 200 recording servers and over 1,500 cameras. According to Chitkasemsuk, installation was made much easier thanks to Milestone’s solution, which allowed Digitalcom workers to use Windows Remote Desktop and Management Client to complete installation and configuration, all at one central site. To free up more bandwidth needed for high-quality video data, the multi-stream technology was adopted. Digitalcom uses MJPEG for recording videos from important cameras and MPEG-4, which requires less bandwidth, for viewing purposes, Chitkasemsuk said. The company’s solution also integrates with various existing technologies, such as facial recognition and analytics, to detect intrusions, reduce false alarms, and enhance responsiveness.

For these reasons, automotive manufacturers are taking advantage of the beyond security applications of video surveillance cameras in their production facilities. BY EIFEH STROM
he automotive industry is consid der ered ed one the wor orld or ld’s most ld mpo po ortant rtt t economic sectors. When the global economy wentt nto recession in 2008, the overall glob bal a manufacctu t ring out u pu put, ut including motor vehicle production, hit a ma major speed bump. Wi W th less money in the hands of consumers the demand d for all types of goods decreased, which caused global manufacturiing production to dec ecc ecline. However, now, as the global economyy rebounds, glob ob bal man anuf u acturing is uf slowly starting to see in green again in inste ead of red. ead ea Global manufacturing output grew by 2.4 4 pe p rcen rccen e t in the h third quarter of 2013, according to a recent n report publ blisshed by the bl h United d Nati tion onss Industrial Development Organization (U (UNI NIDO DO O).) In n the first six mo mont n hs of nt 2013, statistics provided by the he e Int nternati t onal Organ nization n of Motor Veh hiccle Manu ufacturers (OICA) showed th hat global motor vehicle pr production wen en nt up 1.6 percent from 2012. Although both of the h se numbers are considered d low, growth, no matter the h amount, is a hopeful sign thaat bo b th global manufacturing and the global economy have be egun to hea e l. By region the UNIDO report pointed out a sligh g t improvvem ement in overalllll manufacturing output in industrialized regions such ass Nor orth th America, East Asia, and Europe. In the U.S., most of this improvement is attributed to o increased production in the electronic goods, motor vehicles, an a d furniture markets. The report noted that US production of motor vehiclles e rose at a rate of 5.8 percent in the third quarter of 2013. Specific factors that have contributed to growth in motor vehicle production include low interest rates and the declining unemployment rate. On the other hand, overall manufacturing growth in Europe has been more fragile. Growth in the eurozone has been marginal; however, gro owth outside of the eurozone e has been slightly better. Motor vehicle production in Germany rose 2.2 2 percent n in the third quarter of 2013, opposed to production rate drops in n both France and Italy. A sharp decline in production in Russia was also observed where motor vehicle production plunged by 27 percent compared to the same period in 2012. In Asia, Japan saw meager motor vehicle production growth of 1.7 percent, whereas Malaysia saw nearly 10 percent growth from the previous quarter.

he use of radio frequency identification (RFID) to track and tag objects dates back to the 1940s. Nowadays, not only does RFID help supply chain visibility, but it is also used to improve inventory management and operational efficiency, reduce labor costs, and enhance information accuracy. These benefits are helping to spur the growth of global passive RFID market, which in is expected to reach US$11.6 billion in 2018, according to a report by Frost & Sullivan. Continuous research and development in the RFID industry along with growing end-user awareness are thought to be some of the main drivers for growth. However, one of the main challenges facing the market is the hesitation of end users to invest in a technology that has a higher price tag than other systems such as barcodes. Without sufficient knowledge of the benefits of RFID and concerns that customer return on investment (ROI) does not match its startup costs, growth in the RFID market will be hindered. One way manufacturers are utilizing RFID to not only improve their ROI but also the overall efficiency of their facility is by using RFID technology on the production line. Manufacturers are no longer looking to just track products throughout the production process, but use RFID to detect errors during the processes before they become major problems down the line. By using RFID for both error detection and production efficiency, manufacturers are able to save both time and money.
EARLY DETECTION MEANS SAVINGS Not falling behind schedule on a production line is extremely important in a manufacturing facility. Manufacturers are on strict deadlines set by customers to get their products to them in a timely manner. One delay on one production line not only costs the facility time, but starts a chain of events that can end up costing the facility a lot of money. In order to stop problems on the production line before they get too far out of control, manufacturers across industries have begun taking advantage of RFID technology in helping to reduce errors.

RFID readers and antennae, pointed out that every RFID project is unique with its own set of challenges. “Every successful ultra-high frequency (UHF) project has three major components — the transponder, the antenna, and the reader. All three of them have to be carefully chosen and configured.” As such, finding the right equipment can be a RFID project’s biggest challenge.
NOT ALL FUN AND GAMES While RFID, whether it be active or passive, LF, HF, or UHF have many advantages, the technology is far from perfect with limitations like any other technology. RFID tags cannot be bent, nor can holes be punched into them without it damaging the data. Also, RFID readers are prone to being flooded with data by those RFID tags with longer detection ranges. Pallets full of RFID tags may get read every time it passes a reader if the sensitivity is set too high. Additionally, a general lack of know-how on how to properly, efficiently, and successfully implement specifically UHF solutions means that more time is needed before the use of RFID in manufacturing for more than just tracking becomes common place.
Vietnamese Textile Printing Factory Uses RFID for Error Detection Textile printing factories receive large shipments of fabric bundles for printing. Several shades of the same color, which are difficult to distinguish, may come to a factory for printing. This can easily lead to errors if a worker is told to simply pull a general color and throw it onto the line. If a mistake is made and the wrong bundle gets put onto the production line, not only is precious time wasted, but money and resources as well. To cut back on errors, a top textile printing factory, which prints for internationally well-known brands like Abercrombie & Fitch, Gap, etc., wanted to find a solution that would help detect errors. Ultimately, a passive UHF RFID solution by GIGA-TMS was chosen. A passive UHF RFID solution was chosen for this project for several reasons, as pointed out by Brian Ma, Sales Representative at GIGA-TMS. First, UHF RFID has a longer reading range than either low-frequency (LF) or high-frequency (HF) RFID tags, which is useful in a high volume industrial setting. UHF RFID is also highly configurable as well as reusable. In this particular Brian Ma, Sales Representative, GIGA-TMS
case, the reusable nature of the UHF RFID tag was a deciding factor to whether or not the factory opted to deploy a RFID technology. Unlike barcodes that cannot be reused, some UHF RFID tags can not only be reused hundreds of times, but can also

“Choosing the right type of transmission ultimately boils down to the user’s specific needs and objectives.”
PoE, EoC, or PoC? Confused No More Transmission is the fundamental element that keeps a security network going. Using the right transmission technology simplifies installation and minimizes the cost of deployment. However, deciding on which type of transmission to install requires a full understanding of the different transmission technologies that are available. These include power over Ethernet (PoE), Ethernet over coax (EoC), and power over coax (PoC), each with a unique and special method for delivering power and data packets that ultimately make the system work.

security surveillance network is supported by a variety of devices — cameras, recorders, cables, converters, switches, and others — to ensure steady and uninterrupted operation. Central to any network, be it analog or digital, is transmission, which often gets overlooked as people mostly focus on hardware and equipment. Yet transmission is crucial in a network, the indispensable link that hooks up all the devices together to make the system operational. A transmission infrastructure that is well designed and installed can optimize a security system and save on installation and operating costs. But people often get confused over the different types of transmission. These include PoE, PoC, and EoC. Understanding what they are, what makes them superb, and what they are limited by helps users set up systems that are cost-effective, efficient, and tailored to their specific needs and demand.
POWER OVER ETHERNET Power over Ethernet (PoE) has remained a popular technology for network designers and planners. In fact, its influence and popularity are growing. It was ranked as the No. 6 trend to be watched for in the video surveillance industry in 2014 by IHS, and a rising number of camera manufacturers are expected to expand their PoE product lines to

capitalize on the technology. PoE presents an easy and attractive solution that allows installers to set up cameras where they are most needed, instead of where power outlets are present. “When power point is not available nearby, PoE switches can supply power to all powered devices (PDs), and data is transmitted at the same time,” said Kelvin Chan, Senior Product Manager at OT Systems. Meanwhile, PoE’s popularity also has to do with its cost-effectiveness. Running a dedicated power line to the end device can cost hundreds of bucks, and the cost can drop to a little over US$50 for running an Ethernet cable that transmits both data and power. Finally, PoE takes up less space — less room is required to accommodate one cable — and is safe — it delivers low-voltage power. Right now, two standards dictate PoE’s power delivery. The original IEEE 802.3af standard formulated in 2003 stipulates that the PSE provides up to 15.4W of DC power to each powered device. Yet only 12.95W is to be received by the PD due to the physical nature of transmission — power gets lost in the form of heat during the delivery process. Later on, in 2009, an updated version of the standard, IEEE 802.3at also known as PoE+, was published, specifying that 34.2W of power be supplied to each PD, which is to receive 25.5W. As the input and output for PoE devices are strictly specified by the IEEE 802.3 standards, users must beware that the right products are being used to avoid installation failures. In terms of voltage, the input power voltage for PoE switches is 48V under IEEE 802.3af and 54V under 802.3at. “Some manufacturers provide switches with 12V booster features for vehicle applications,” said Greg Tsai, Marketing Manager at Lantech Communications Global. “Boosters are ideal for buses, carriages, and other vehicles and industrial areas where the power source is limited at 12V or 24V, but there is demand for surveillance or VoIP applications.”
Distance and Power Limitations In PoE, the most obvious drawback is transmission distance, which is limited at 100 meters between the PSE and PD. This limitation can be gotten around by using extenders or media converters to extend transmission. “For distances beyond 100 meters, fiber optics can be used. You need a device that converts IP signal into light, which

PoE and EoC Devices: The Do’s and Don’ts Users Should Know While transmission is the backbone of a surveillance infrastructure, it’s the devices that complete the system, generating power and data packets that travel throughout the network. Gaining adequate understanding of the devices is therefore a prerequisite for purchasing the right products, which in turn play a key role in ensuring the success of future deployment. BY WILLIAM PAO
T
he choice of devices in a surveillance network largely depends on the type of transmission, which relies on the user’s specific needs and requirements. For example, in brand new installations, it makes more sense to set up an IP network supported with IP cameras, which have gained huge popularity with their ease of installment and ability to capture high-image videos. For traditional CCTV users who want to switch to IP cams, it’s more reasonable to adopt Ethernet over coax (EoC) so that data generated by the IP cams can be transmitted via existing coaxial cables.
POE SWITCHES Ethernet switches used in video surveillance applications are growing, with IHS forecasting that this market will more than double over the next three years and top US$500 million in 2018. Although the majority of networked security cameras have PoE capability, end users are only just realizing PoE's full potential due to increased harmonization between standards bodies and manufacturers. As a result, installers are now designing video surveillance networks centered on PoE switches. Presently PoE power delivery is regulated by two standards. The 2003-published IEEE 802.3af stipulates that the power supply equipment (PSE), in this case the PoE switch, provides up to 15.4W of DC power to each powered device, which gets roughly 12.95W. Meanwhile, IEEE 802.3at published in 2009, also

known as PoE+, specifies that 34.2W of power be delivered to each PD, which is to receive 25.5W. These specifications imply that careful selection of devices based on the user’s specific demand is absolutely critical, said Kelvin Chan, Senior Product Manager at OT Systems. “Depending on the projects needed, users need to consider whether to get switches that are PoE-based or PoE+-based,” he said. “Users must also choose a switch with the appropriate number of ports, based on the number of cameras they have.” In addition, it is important to figure out total consumption of the IP cams and the total power supplied by the switch. “Right now, power consumption for an indoor IP cam is within 15.4W, and the figure is higher for IP cams installed on the outside,” said EtherWAN Systems in a news release. “If you have five indoor IP cams, total power consumption is roughly 15.4W times five or 77W. The figure will rise if you also have outdoor IP cams. That’s why when you decide on a switch, you must determine total power it can supply. Otherwise some of your IP cams may not receive power and are rendered useless.” There are other PoE features that should be taken into consideration. Among them are intelligent features such as PoE detection and PoE scheduling. “PoE detection can detect if the connected PD is hanging up and can then restart the PD. PoE scheduling is to allow the setting of power feeding schedules based upon the user’s preference. Each PoE port can be enabled or disabled at specific times as pre-set by the user, with the purpose of saving power and energy,” said Greg Tsai, Marketing Manager at Lantech Communications Global. Deciding whether to get an environmentally hardened PoE switch

or one that is suitable for commercial usage is another significant factor that users should think about. This of course all depends on the user’s operating environment. For example, outdoor environments such as specially designed enclosures, parking garages, and factory floors call for the more rugged industrial-grade products, which contain components that are twice or thrice as reliable as those skewed to commercial or residential users. Power budgets for commercial-grade switches range from 123W to 370W, while those for industrial applications may go from 62W to 420W. Operating temperature range also varies, with zero to 45 degrees Celsius for commercial products and -40 to 75 degree Celsius for industrial models that are designed for more extreme conditions. Finally, users selecting PoE switches must be aware of vertical-specific standards that vary from country to country and vertical to vertical. For example, in the oil and gas industry, products must pass explosion tests to make sure that they can withstand fires and blasts that happen from time to time in this sector.
EOC CONVERTERS Ethernet over coax (EoC) is the ideal technology for those wishing to migrate to or add new IP cameras over their legacy analog networks, which are mostly supported by coaxial cables. EoC’s advantages lie in the fact that the outlays to replace the entire coaxial infrastructure are saved and that distance is not limited to just 100 meters. The main device in an EoC setup is the EoC converter. Typically a transmitter is set up at To ensure that each camera gets the power it needs, the user must figure out the total power consumption needed and get the right PoE switch. the front end, with the purpose of converting

he tourism and hospitality sectors are inextricably linked — you can’t have one without the other. This link becomes even clearer when looking at the numbers. And as the global economy continues to recover, so does the hospitality sector. 2012 marked the first year that international tourist arrivals surpassed 1 billion, a good sign that the world economy is recovering. According to the January 2014 numbers from the ASEAN Tourism Statistics Database, the number of tourists in ASEAN countries reached 89.2 million in 2012, up from 81.2 in 2011. Among ASEAN countries, Malaysia led the way with 25 million visitors, followed by Thailand with 22.4 million. Not only is the number of travelers on the rise, the number of travelers with disposable income is also on the rise, fueling the demand for upscale and luxury leisure travel, according to EY’s Global Hospitality Insights: Top Thoughts for 2014.

The latest numbers from STR Global indicate that there are 2,321 hotel projects currently in construction, in development, or in planning in the APAC region as of April 2014. So far in 2014, 430 hotels have already opened, with another 497 expected in the second half of the year. Of these hotels, 52 are luxury hotels. Luxury hotels have a lot to offer; however, opting to stay at a luxury hotel is more than just wanting first-class service and accommodations. It is also about feeling secure and knowing you can relax and feel at ease. For the hotel operator, security is of utmost importance.

UPGRADES AND PROCUREMENT How luxury hotel chains upgrade and procure their security equipment is different from standard economy hotel chains. Industry players estimate that luxury hotel chains, on average, look at large system upgrades every seven years, give or take a few. Upgrades are driven by anything from changing local regulations to system failures to incidents that point out security weaknesses. Regardless of the reason, during this time security directors of luxury hotel chains use this opportunity to take a hard look at how security technology has changed and how they can benefit from it, according to Brian Lane, Director of Product Management at 3VR. “This is when the ‘migration’ from one technology to another begins.” In terms of procurement, Ilya Umanskiy, Associate MD of Security Risk Management at Kroll in Hong Kong highlighted the competitive nature of luxury hotel tenders. Certain genuine process indicators/measures are used to select the right supplier. From there, a fixed pricing period is often determined, which is reset every two to five years. Lane further pointed out, “Hotels generally do not network their security systems together as an enterprise, therefore, a single hotel in a chain may elect to choose their own security system, independent of other hotels in the same chain, even luxury hotels.” Because a hotel operator or security director may have an established relationship with a local integrator, they are not always

H.265, which produces videos of the same quality as H.264 yet taking up only half the bandwidth, is poised to replace its predecessor as the mainstream video coding standard. Full-fledged deployment in the surveillance industry is inevitable, even though major challenges, such as complexity of coding and an imbalance between cost and functionality, still need to be overcome. „ BY THE a&s EDITORIAL TEAM

.265 is the next-generation video compression format that claims to be twice as efficient as H.264, the current industry standard. In Q4 2013, the first milestone in a continuous research effort to apply this new compression technology in broadcast was achieved. However, for the security and surveillance industry, H.265 is still a myth and not yet implemented on a wide scale. Since HD is the ultimate trend, H.265 will be crucial in getting 4K “Ultra HD� contents to our televisions, PCs and
66

tablets over the next few years. Achieving those objectives depends on the core components of the H.265 codec that are being developed and will probably launch in 2014. H.265 is a video compression format that delivers crisper network video contents and requires 50 percent less bandwidth for the same image quality as H.264, making it easier to download or stream HD video. That said, over the next few years we can view Full HD contents online with our mobile devices such as cell phones and tablets. H.265 supports 4K (4096×2160) and 8K (8192×4320) Ultra HD (UHD) contents as well. This makes H.265 an ideal technology for delivering high-quality IP videos and creates the possibility that H.265-supported IP cameras, DVRs, and NVRs will roll out over the next few months. The H.264 standard has dominated the market for the past five years. Now, with H.265 set to become the mainstream, we must understand what the advantages of H.265 and their best-fit applications are. The following article explains the H.265 codec and its future trends.
WHAT IS H.265? H.265 is a video compression standard, a successor to H.264, that was jointly developed by the ITU-T Video Coding Experts Group (VCEG) and related groups. On August 22, 2012, Ericsson announced the world's first H.265 encoder, the Ericsson SVP 5500. In only six months, H.265 (also known as High Efficiency Video Coding, HEVC) was approved as the official successor to H.264 as an ITU-T standard. H.265 is said to double the data compression ratio compared to H.264 at the same level of video quality. It can alternatively be used to provide substantially improved video quality at the same bit rate. It can support 8K UHD and resolutions up to 8192x4320. H.265 was designed to significantly increase coding efficiency compared to H.264 – that is, to reduce bit rate requirements by half with comparable image quality. Depending on the application requirements, H.265 encoders can mitigate computational complexity; improve compression rate, robustness and error correction; and reduce encoding latency. While H.264 can transfer SD contents in 1Mbps, H.265 is able to transfer
▲H.265 makes it easier to download or stream HD video from TV and other mobile devices; but in security, it will still take more time for H.265 to be ready for the market.
720p (1280x720) and HD content in 1-2 Mbps. Some leading IT pioneers like Qualcomm, Broadcom and Huawei have been showcasing related products enabled with H.265, which many believe is likely to replace H.264 as the global major compression standard.
WHY IS H.265 SUPERIOR THAN H.264? H.265/HEVC video coding uses the same approach as H.264/AVC, including inter-/ intra-picture prediction, transform coding, quantization, deblocking filter, and entropy coding. But H.265/HEVC comprises coding units (CUs), predict units (PUs) and transform units (TUs). Compared to H.264/AV, H.265/HEVC provides different methods to reduce the compression rate. Each marcoblock in H.264/AVC is 16x16 pixels, while in H.265/ HEVC the marcoblock provides different options, from 8x8, 16x16 to 64x64 pixels. What H.265 does is analyzing video contents and breaking them down into CUs of different sizes. For example, it would take much smaller blocks (down to 4x4 pixels) to encode detailed areas, like a vehicle in a parking lot, and much bigger blocks to encode the background, which contains less video data. H.265 employs 33 directional modes for intra-prediction, compared to the 8 directional modes for intra-prediction used by H.264. With the same image quality, H.265 delivers 39 to 44 percent less decoding bit streams than H.264. This result may vary with different quality assurance methods. Peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR) and subjective assessment of video quality are standard ways to measure the coding efficiency of a video coding mechanism. In a subjective assessment of video quality, H.265 delivers the same or better coding efficiency than H.264 with bit
