Philippines Moves Toward Bright Future, Following China and Vietnam
a&s Asia, published by Messe Frankfurt New Era Business Media Ltd., is a monthly professional publication for channel players in the regional electronic security industry. It caters to importers, distributors, OEM/ODM searchers, systems integrators and other product purchasers on product sources and identifies developments in video surveillance, access control, biometrics, intrusion alarm, intercom/video doorphone, home automation, and other fields relevant to electronic security.
n May 9 , Davao C i t y M a y o r Rodrigo Duterte won the Philippine presidential elections. His outspoken character had caught the world’s attention. However, only time will tell how he will influence the country’s diplomatic relations. No matter what, the Philippines had outperformed many countries in the Asia-Pacific region in the past two years. According to the latest statistics and reports by the World Bank, the country’s economy grew to 5.8 percent in 2015 and it is “projected to accelerate to 6.4 percent in 2016 before tempering slightly to 6.2 percent in 2017.” The report also pointed out that private consumption is the key to maintaining this high growth, which would be aided by low inflation. The implementation of public-private partnership (PPP) projects also boosted overall public and private spending. Exhibiting a positive macroeconomic environment, the Philippine government has paid close attention to its security market due to existing high crime rates. Its “No CCTV, No Business Permit” obviously shows the country’s determination to improve its security and safety. Secutech Taipei, which was held from April 19 to 21, also showed an increasing number of attendees from the Philippines. At Secutech, one major video th

surveillance equipment distributor told us that the country has grown very rapidly, especially in the past two years. Increasing public and private projects can now be seen in all industries. Originally, the distributor was only focused on the sales and installation of network infrastructure equipment and now, they plan to be more involved in security projects for all kinds of buildings. Since the country doesn’t have many IP video solution providers, the distributor believed that they would be able to differentiate themselves in this market. This company is only one among many other similar Philippine distributors and systems integrators that are looking for more IP products and solutions for their market. Nevertheless, many companies stressed that the country is pretty Americanized and the way people select products and brands is very similar to that of US buyers, which should be noted by companies who are interested in the Philippine market. Overall, the Asian region didn’t g ro w a s m u c h a s i n t h e p a s t . Philippines, Vietnam, and India are projected to be three growing momentums for regional growth in the next few years. Finally, the country have also announced its interest in joining the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP), which will push the country to grow to the top.

360- degree Cameras Spilling Over to Security to Enforce Clearer Views Editor’s Note:
360-degree cameras are beginning to dominate the commercial market, gaining popularity through its use in virtual reality (VR) applications, which can be used not only for entertainment, but also as a teaching tool. For example, a doctor can record an operation using a 360-degree camera then import it into a VR headset. This would allow students to be able to relive the operation over and over and help them prepare for when they would need to perform it themselves. Now, these cameras are starting to make their way into the security industry. The use of which can eliminate issues such as dewarping and blind spots that may be present in other traditional surveillance cameras.

SALTO Secures Access for Australian College
Marist College Canberra, a Catholic school located in the Australian Capital Territory, Canberra, was having increasing problems with its mechanical key system. With different keys for different buildings and classrooms causing problems over the past few years, they decided to upgrade security to a contactless electronic access control solution. Security of the campus perimeter and classroom doors were the primary concerns for school authorities and it was vital that the new system can efficiently control who had access and when these places are accessed. It also needed to afford the staff with the ability to instantly take action if an access card was lost or stolen without the need to rekey or change locks. After considering their options, they decided to go with SALTO Systems’ XS4 solution for the project. 100 SALTO online RF escutcheons have since been installed throughout the college. The SALTO XS4 wireless system is an online, real-time access control system that uses RFID radio frequency technology to communicate with an access control database. If the radio link is ever interrupted or breaks down, the system will continue to work, as the virtual network of the battery-operated escutcheons and cylinders remains operative through the SALTO virtual network.

24/7. There was a need for security systems within the subdistrict to provide monitoring of traffic conditions, accidents, as well as possible criminal activities. Footage captured can then be used as forensic evidence when required. The proposed Bosch video surveillance solution installed in Wanon Niwat’s city area along traffic intersections and pedestrian walkways was comprised of 56 1080p30 progressive scan CMOS cameras. These cameras provide round-the-clock monitoring and clear footage even under low-light conditions. The security surveillance solution is centrally managed using Milestone’s XProtect video management system. The synergies between Milestone’s open platform software and Bosch Security Systems’ cameras enabled partners and customers to explore the intelligence and efficiency of Bosch’s camera solutions. Proposed and installed by KN Systems Integrator, this surveillance solution comes backed with Bosch quality and professional maintenance services. The team in charge of the Wanon Niwat sub-district have expressed their satisfaction with the quality of the Bosch security solution and plan to use Bosch in the second phase of their security plans.
solution project. For the upgrade, they wanted to have measures to tighten security, improve the crowd management, apply central monitoring, and identify persons and activities. Thus, they needed to have an intelligent and integrated security and surveillance system in every zone. As of now, Mirasys’ solution has been implemented in four major zones, covering 29 main junction stations. Over 4000 VMS and 1,400 video content analysis (VCA) channels are currently in use and are managed by centralized command and control rooms. Railway authorities are now able to do incident management, which consisted of preliminary planning and plan activation, allowing them to better respond to any event and identify all the needed activities required to resolve any incidents that may occur. The new system also allowed time-synchronized playback of different cameras together in a single video pane. Additionally, advanced video analytics features intrusion detection, left object detection, overcrowding, and camera tampering.

Will 5G be the Answer to Mainstream Connected Devices? Internet of Things (IoT) has taken the world by storm, where various industries, including security, are making use of the technology with connected devices and systems to produce valuable information. But what happens when stable Internet can’t reach everywhere? BY Lisa Hsu
ntroducing the 5G network, which may be announced to the world as early as 2020, will allow for faster service, less latency, and enable more devices to be connected across the globe. The speedy network will support the massive growth of IoT and enable devices to communicate with each other seamlessly through the convergence of mobile communications and computing. Growing demand for high Internet speeds to have real-time response is among one of the major factors pushing the development of latest technologies such as the 5G network. 5G can offer Internet speeds between 10 Gbps (gigabytes per second) to 100 Gbps. Furthermore, 5G delivers an ultra-low latency range between 1ms and 10ms, whereas 4G technology offers a low latency range between 40ms and 60ms.

augmented reality, and more. Aicha Evans, Corporate VP and GM of the Communication and Devices Group at Intel predicted in an Intel report that transmissions that took seconds, minutes, or even days to load or send will be delivered in milliseconds when 5G technology becomes available.
What Does This Mean For Security? Increasingly, video surveillance and IoT are being integrated as products such as cameras and recorders move to IP and are connected together on the Internet. The launch of the 5G network will bring a whole new array of opportunities to the security industry. The faster and more robust network would mean more connected and autonomous devices and systems, as well as better quality images and faster streaming. Gathering information through analytics will become more mainstream as the data produced will provide more information and knowledge, which helps organizations produce better business strategy plans. However, security players are likely to face certain challenges in order to accommodate for the upgraded network, such as storage issues to manage data, hardware compatibility for 5G, and other technical difficulties ahead. The launch of 5G may be a big motivator for more advanced equipment to appear in security, but players must first understand the different wireless protocols that define the standards for networking devices and know what benefits certain security applications.

Seagate on How to Choose an HDD and Customer Feedback on SRS Seagate Technology, the leading storage solutions provider, launched a clinic consultation service at Secutech 2016 to demonstrate to its customers the importance of using the right drive for the right environment and give recommendations based on their requirements. BY Jill Lai
MAY 2016 Ɣ www.asmag.com
n order to choose the right hard drive for a video surveillance system, it is important to first understand the main purpose of using video surveillance systems and identify the main points of the operators. Rex Dong, Senior Director for Asia OEM Sales at Seagate Technology, further explained, “First understand the workload of a security system so you can determine the performance the system requires from the drive. Will the system be used for fast video analytics like facial recognition, or will it more simply be used to record contents and play it back only when an incident needs reviewing? If it is, then these factors are important to understand the level of performance you’ll expect from the drive. Next, consider what implications this workload will have on your system design. All surveillance applications expect support 24/7, but how does this affect your storage requirements? Through Secutech and our clinic consultation, we are able to help the systems integrators (SIs) and customers to solve their problems and meet their needs for surveillance storage solutions.”
Systems Integrators’ Feedbacks on SRS Another major problem that SIs might have with their current storage systems is unexpected data loss. Seagate, therefore, introduced the Seagate Rescue Services (SRS) to its customers.

Dong said, “The storage and access to data are critical for any organization. Seagate’s Surveillance HDDs allow customers and SIs to optimize their drive reliability in a DVR or NVR environment. Adding the Seagate Rescue services (SRS) helps to protect the data against unexpected situations such as vandalism, virus, or unintentional deletion and also serves as incremental support to help SIs better optimize their resources in the field.” The company then shared one of its customer’s story that tells how SRS helps to recover lost data. It is said that two men broke into a jewelry store in China, stole US$200,000 worth of jewelry, and destroyed the store’s surveillance camera and DVR. After numerous failed attempts by the data recovery agency, the Chinese police contacted Seagate. Its SRS team successfully repaired the damaged DVR that allowed police access to the surveillance footage to identify the suspects. Dong said, “Today, we continue to improve the customer experience for data recovery so people feel informed and up-to-date on the progress of their recovery through email updates. The customers can also track and monitor their recovery status from Seagate’s website. From the service hotline, case submission website to the drop-off point, etc., we’re committed to providing customers a smooth and hassle-free data recovery process.”

enabled FLIR to make deeper inroads into the Asian market. “FLIR already had a strong presence in Asia with offices and service centers in many countries. With the addition of the DVTEL people to the Asia security team, we have created a new structure to exchange knowledge and improve focus,” Gerbi said. In the future, FLIR plans to increase its visibility in Asia even more. “Our security sales activity in Asia is in three sub-regions – Australia and New Zealand (ANZ), ASEAN, and North Asia. Our first priority is to strengthen our presence and efforts in ANZ. Regional management is centered in Australia while operation and administration is centered in Hong Kong,” Gerbi said. “Our Singapore office is fully equipped to demonstrate the entire range of FLIR Security products and solutions. To make it easier for our partners and end users to experience what we can offer, we plan to establish similar capabilities in other regional facilities, including Japan and Australia.”

The vision behind the DVTEL acquisition was to expand the FLIR security portfolio to include a wide offering of top-quality products and well-integrated solutions to our partners and customers.
Besides the DVTEL acquisition, FLIR Systems has also made other important purchases to make its products more complete and wide-ranging. In December 2012, FLIR completed the acquisition of Lorex Technology for an aggregate price of US$60 million. Lorex provides home and business equipment that includes connected visible light video cameras, illuminated infrared cameras, digital video recorders, video monitors, baby monitors, and wearable action sports cameras. By acquiring Lorex, FLIR was able to diversify its offerings and expand into several new markets as the company sought to lower the cost to own thermal technology, it said. Also in December 2012, FLIR acquired Belgiumbased Traficon International, a leader in video detection technologies for traffic applications, for approximately $46 million in cash. According to FLIR, thermal imaging is a superior solution for monitoring traffic, and by purchasing Traficon, FLIR was aiming to accelerate the adoption of FLIR technology in the worldwide market for video-based traffic control solutions.
ultimate platform for inter-connectivity w h e re e v e r y d e v i c e maximizes its contribution to and leverage of shared information. Our solutions already contribute to and leverage shared information but within a private and secure context,” Gerbi said. “FLIR’s Cameleon PSIM allows connectivity and information exchange between video surveillance systems and tactical, intelligent-transportation, or industrial systems.” According to Gerbi, critical infrastructure and city surveillance are two markets where IoT reaches its highest levels of utilization, and FLIR is strong in both. “The emergence of smart cities is a primary example of ongoing IoT technology enhancements in which FLIR is an active player, enabling the connectivity and information flow between security and non-security entities to maximize the safety and security benefits to communities,” he said.
MORE VISIBLE THAN EVER The purchase of DVTEL has given a major boost to FLIR’s operations, enabling them to offer a wider range of solutions that suit different verticals. Geographically, the acquisition has also allowed FLIR to expand its presence in Asia, from Oceana to Northeast Asia. With smart and safe city initiatives becoming more prevalent in the region, deployment of more FLIR products and solutions in these projects is all but expected.
he Internet of Things (IoT) has become a catch-all phrase that encompasses all the communication that occurs among physical objects such as interconnected computer networks, sensors, and devices. It is clearly intertwined with the concept of Big Data, which is not surprising as increased interconnectivity will lead to a rise in the amount of information that can be generated by these ecosystems.
EVOLVING IOT LANDSCAPE
MAY 2016 Ć” www.asmag.com
There is a proliferation of new devices that are coming online and producing data. Based on a recent report by Gartner, 5.5 million new devices will be connected every day in 2016. In part due to strategic actions taken by cellular or Wi-Fi carriers looking for new growth opportunities in the mature market, this boom in numbers is creating more opportunities for devices to be interconnected and produce even more data. The impact of these figures is quite far-reaching, extending beyond the technology industry to influence trends in fields such as retail, healthcare, and security. The implications of this development has even led McKinsey Global Institute to forecast that US$36 trillion operating costs of key industries will be directly impacted by IoT. Although IoT is trending right now, it is certainly not a new concept, especially when it comes to the security industry. This is because it has become common practice for security practitioners to incorporate various different technologies and components into one system. Therefore, the question is how IoT and Big Data differs from before and why it is attracting so much attention.

IoT: Implications and Challenges for Security The evolution of the Internet of Things has reshaped and transformed businesses and industries, bringing with it various benefits and risks, as well as challenging existing best security practices. ISC West organized a seminar to discuss the topic, featuring a panel of speakers from Axis Communications, Central Station Alarm Association International (CSAA), Honeywell, and Securitas Electronic Security.

different is not the actual amount itself, it is how it is being presented and used. With bandwidth becoming faster and more readily available, consumers are finding it increasingly easier for them to connect different devices. The information collected is also managed differently than before as it is now commonly aggregated and mined in data warehouses. Additionally, through the use of web browsers, smartphones, or fitness trackers like Fitbit, the data is automatically transformed into something that consumers can understand, access, and use to add value to their lives. With all these data coming in, it is difficult to pinpoint which information is important or to determine how it is going to be used. Nevertheless, the value of collecting the data for future analysis cannot be underestimated. The promise of Big Data lies in its potential for associations over time when the software matures to be able to create information that is meaningful and useful for the users.
BIG DATA FOR SITUATIONAL AWARENESS In the security industry, Big Data has traditionally been used for two purposes: to prevent bad things from happening and, in instances that something bad happened, to perform forensic investigation. However, people are now looking toward harnessing the data to enable them to use the system proactively by potentially predicting what threats would be present and eliminating them beforehand. Furthermore, the data can also be leveraged in businesses to improve operational efficiency and this can already be seen in the retail space. The omnichannel approach many retailers employ to understand and use customer behavior data is an example of IoT at work.
IMPLICATIONS FOR SECURITY Demands from users for better broadband experiences is expected to grow even further in the near future
The rising demand for immediacy and connectivity can end up creating the so-called 'internet of insecure things' or 'internet of risk.' and this would in turn drive up the need for security. This is because the rising demand for immediacy and connectivity can end up creating the so-called “internet of insecure things” or “internet of risk.” The more devices gets connected to a system, the more breach points the system will potentially have. Cybercriminals will try to find the weakest parts of the systems, which could be the video or the security system, and use it as a backdoor to access the company’s network. Furthermore, many enterprises are now facing the challenge of incorporating devices that may or may not follow best practices into their systems due to the popularity of the “bring your own device” (BYOD) trend in the workplace; hence, necessitating regulating policies that will protect both the employees and the company’s private information. To prevent or minimize the possibility of cyberattacks, many consumers turn toward safety standards such as UL, Triple DES, and ONVIF. However, this can actually lull them into a false sense of security as devices and systems with these labels may not be completely safe. Since the creation of these standards takes time and collaboration, it is entirely possible that it is a year or two behind where the market is at the moment. On the other hand, hackers are continuously formulating new attacks and finding ways to get around existing standards.
ROLE OF THE SECURITY INDUSTRY IN IOT
IoT is constantly developing and security practitioners would be wise to get involved early so as not to be left behind. It would be important for them to continue to communicate and be aware of what is happening with their As the “bring your own device” trend continues to gain popularity in workplaces, it would be important for companies to find the balance between convenience and security. vendor partners and end customers in order to determine and execute the right strategies. It is equally important to collaborate with outside consultants, such as from the IT department, to better identify weak links and come up with possible solutions to make the system more secure. This would also involve developing good security development practices for vendors that is supported by strict and continuous testing programs. Another important point would be to make it easier for the end users to apply, because at the end of the day, it doesn’t matter how secure the system can be if the end users don’t go through the process of securing it.

SMART WORKPLACE ACCESS IN A SECURE MOBILE WORLD Mobile technologies have now penetrated every aspect of our lives, including the workplace. It would be wise for enterprises to take advantage of this trend to not only increase convenience, but also to enhance existing physical access control systems.

obile technologies have brought in new levels of choice and confidence to access control. From smartphones to wearables and tablets, mobile devices are ever present in today’s office environment, always on-hand to serve a variety of purposes. It has become the go-to technology of the new millennium, offering convenience and portability. In light of these developments, leveraging mobile technology to access doors, parking facilities, and gates – not to mention networks, other enterprise applications, and so much more – is a logical step in the evolution of access control. These advancements have encouraged a more secure identity lifestyle built around the convenience and ubiquity of mobile devices. It would be, perhaps, the next logical step that organizations and employees consider the use of smart devices to enable physical access (mobile access control). This article will highlight the benefits to consider when implementing mobility initiatives which would enable organizations to answer

end-user demand for convenience and choice in a new mobile-first world.
SMART DEVICES ARE EVERYWHERE The convenience that mobile connectivity offers is changing the way we live, work, and play. By extending access control functionality to a mobile device, it allows end users to securely and conveniently access the workplace using their smart devices. In this era of mobility and cloud computing, enterprises and individuals are increasingly concerned about the security and protection of their physical environment. Correctly implemented, secure mobile access has the potential to change how we interact and remains a critical front line of defense for enterprises. Confidence and education in the use of contactless applications and technologies such as wearables, NFC, Bluetooth, mobile wallets, iBeam, and iBeacon are continuously growing and so is the understanding of which technologies are best suited for mobile access control. No matter what the technology, mobile devices offer an unparalleled way to change the way we open doors. However, security administrators and IT directors will need to review which mobile-related technologies will allow them to best engage with their employees to create the optimal access experience on their premises.
TAKING WEARABLES INTO ACCOUNT The wearables market is growing exponentially. The International Data Corporation (IDC) Worldwide Quarterly Wearable Device Tracker reported the shipment of 78.1 million units in 2015, a 171.6 percent increase compared to the previous year. It is, therefore, only a matter of time before wearables and other mobile products join the device ecosystem and give users even more choices and flexibility. Indeed, another research by Gartner also stated that wearable devices would offer many opportunities for customers and employees and that the array of devices available would evolve rapidly in the short term. It is because of this rapidity that these truly mobile, “always-on” devices are the ideal natural candidates for access control applications because of the ready-to-use convenience they offer.
physical access control will eventually merge the network and other secure access needs, creating a more connected environment. With the rapid adoption of the “bring your own device” (BYOD) trend developing at work, some enterprises have been caught by surprise. However, BYOD challenges are gradually being met by more manageable methods of deploying mobile devices in the organization. Instead of an unknown, potentially unsupported population of employee-owned devices, organizations are granting select personal devices permission to access corporate systems. Several options, including the “choose your own device” (CYOD) strategy — where the organization offers a list of permitted devices and applications for specific roles — are overcoming these challenges. Alex Tan, Director of Sales, Physical Access Control System, ASEAN, HID Global
TRANSACTIONAL EXPERIENCE Imagine a world where access fits in the palm of your hand. Smart devices are ubiquitous and always at hand; thus, becoming the most valued technology we own. Using mobile devices to open doors is therefore seen as a marriage of security and convenience, offering an individual the ability to securely access doors, gates, and areas not open to the general public through his mobile device. Secured mobile access solutions allow for the secure creation, issuance, and management of digital credentials into smart devices. In today’s more progressive solutions, digital credentials or Mobile IDs can be securely managed and revoked remotely from a central management portal. As mobile devices proliferate, their users can always utilize connected networks. Another emerging trend in the mobile space is the convergence of cloud and mobile computing, which is expected to promote the growth of centrally coordinated applications powered by embedded intelligence that can be delivered to any smart device.
LEVERAGING THE MOBILE-FIRST WORLD Driven by convenience and operational efficiency, enterprises are increasingly seeking to leverage the potential of a mobile-first world. Harnessing the mobile revolution for
MANAGEMENT CONSIDERATIONS Creating and managing access cards can be a time-consuming process for security professionals and administrators. This is especially true for school campuses where the task of creating and disabling cards for large numbers of students enrolling and graduating can be quite challenging. In such cases, connected secured mobile devices can help manage mobile identities in near real time using cloud-based portals and save the administrative staff valuable time. Another advantage of implementing a cloud-based portal is that all identities are centralized. This is particularly useful in places with addresses in more than one location. With card-based access systems, a visitor from one branch to the next would have to get a visitor badge or go through other forms of red tape to gain access to the other office. With a cloud-based portal, the employee simply sends a notification to the system administrator before leaving for the branch office which would then have an additional mobile identity sent over by the time the said employee reaches the place. In that sense, the management process is significantly streamlined and shortened.
SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS One thing to consider when going for mobile access is the possibility of cyberattacks through many tools and techniques. When a mobile access solution is implemented, devices and backend security systems require multilayered security models to mitigate the effects of such attacks. The upshot of this is that if the attackers manage to breach a layer, the doors will still remain locked. That said, mobile operating systems, such as Android and iOS, are built to maintain high levels of security. With a secured mobile access app like ours, enterprises can take advantage of these security features to ensure that its data cannot be accessed or modified by other running apps. Finally, mobile identities can be signed and encrypted to mitigate the effects caused by their theft. In case someone loses his smart phone, his mobile identity can also be deleted to prevent it from entering the wrong hands.
MOBILE TECHNOLOGY IN PHYSICAL SECURITY Mobile devices are changing the way employees work and enterprises think about their operations, networks, and security. The next logical step for many organizations will be replacing their legacy systems with physical access security systems which would support mobile access on smart devices. Putting mobile devices to work as tools for secure access is more convenient for users, easier for enterprises to manage, and more secure than older generation technologies. This will create many opportunities for the convergence of network and physical security that are simply unavailable with legacy access tools.

n order to keep a city safe, operators and law enforcement officials rely on video surveillance to detect and deal with theft, assaults, gang violence, drug dealing, and other criminal activities. Yet, monitoring video from thousands of cameras spread across the city can be a daunting challenge. A good video management software (VMS) product, therefore, is needed to keep the operator situationally aware at all times. “Major focuses for citywide surveillance are generally linked with allowing immediate reaction of the operator to the event,” said Aleksandr Jesikov, Account Manager at Luxriot. “A powerful software solution must offer all tools allowing users to be quickly notified of an issue via all necessary instruments. VMS becomes powerful not only by having these instruments, but also by having all functions self-explanatory and easy to configure.” “What a strong or powerful VMS should be doing is focusing in on what’s important to the security profile,” said Steve Birkmeier, VP of Sales and Business Development at Arteco. “Everyy camera

FEATURES NEEDED FOR CITY SURVEILLANCE VMS Since the number of cameras and other types of sensors can be overwhelmingly large, the VMS must be able to support these edge devices as well as present data generated by these devices to operators in a meaningful way, so they can easily understand the situation and respond accordingly. That said, below is a list of features that are needed for the VMS to work effectively in city surveillance.

Every camera has a purpose. If the VMS is working correctly, it notifies the personnel when that purpose happens.
When deploying a city surveillance project, chances are the user will Wh add more cameras over time. “In a lot of city surveillance projects that we have done, they have a very cautious budget to start with. Later on they see what the value is and they need to be able to add on easily and grow without having to completely replace the VMS,” said Mark Ross, Director of Cathexis. That said, the VMS on the backend must be able to easily and effectively handle the additional devices. “Systems have to be scalable to a large amount of cameras and devices. Scaling should be easy, so new cameras and servers should be added efficiently and easily,” said Andreas Conrad, Head of Product Management and Marketing at SeeTec.

High megapixel, multi-sensor panoramic cameras are a good solution to achieve seamless situational awareness in outdoor scenes. Multi-sensor cameras promise to deliver high quality images with a more aesthetic installation. An SIA education seminar during ISC West attracted many attendees who came to listen to speakers from Arecont Vision, Pelco by Schneider Electric, Genetec, and systems integrator Kratos Public Safety and Security discussing the topic.

BENEFITS OF MULTISENSOR PANORAMIC CAMERAS IN OPEN SPACE VIDEO SURVEILLANCE anoramic cameras are the fastest growing IP camera category, according to IHS. The predicted compound annual growth rate of 180- and 360-degree cameras for 2014 to 2019 is almost 30 percent.

cameras. This rapid growth rate indicates that there is still an upside in the market for these solutions. Multi-sensor cameras deliver several benefits, most noteworthy is its ability to replace several fixed cameras and lower camera count, as well as provide better situational awareness, giving operators a seamless panoramic view of the scene.
LOW LOWERED CAMERA COUNT C Multi-sensor panoramic cameras enable the coverage of larger areas; thus, replacing the need to install several single-sensor cameras. This is because these cameras usually feature several lenses and sensors contained in a single housing with a single video/network output. Combining two sensors and len in one housing can allow the lenses camer unit to cover an area of up to camera 180 degrees. On the other hand, fixed cameras provide a narrow field of view as they are typically limited to a 90-degree angle at most. Panoramic cameras can cover a field of view from 180 degrees when installed at the side of a building and up to 360 degrees in cases when it is, for example, mounted on a pole in a parking lot.
Lesser Number of Cameras, More Benefits Reducing the number of cameras required for a project brings several benefits to the table. All these advantages together can save both the integrators and end users time and money. One advantage of this is that less work is required for installation and cabling. Newer multi-sensor camera models are PoE-operated, allowing the same cable for network connection to be also used for power which eliminates the need for separate power cabling. Additionally,

since the camera only has one IP and MAC address, it will potentially only require a single VMS license, significantly lowering the cost as compared to having several fixed cameras covering the same area. However, this might vary between VMS as some might be charged per stream. There is also an operational efficiency benefit because the investigator wouldn’t need to switch between various cameras and different screen views, but instead he can manage everything from one screen; thus, reducing investigation time. Last but not least is aesthetics. Aesthetics is an important
consideration for property managers and large campuses like hospitals and colleges. Instead of having several cameras mounted on the same wall pointing at different directions, one panoramic camera can solve this problem. For example, a four-sensor camera can effectively cover 270 degrees with one sensor facing forward, one facing down, and two others pointing to the sides that can act as PTZ replacements. In this way, one camera mounted on a corner of a building can replace four fixed cameras covering the same field of view.
BETTER SITUATIONAL AWARENESS The wide field of view panoramic cameras deliver gives operators greater situational awareness, especially since they won’t need to switch between several cameras or watch scenes via tiled view which would not be so intuitive. Multi-sensor cameras can blend and stitch together images from different sensors, allowing users an instant understanding of the scene and giving them the ability to zoom in on specific details. Fisheye cameras are one of the competitive alternatives for multi-

MODERN ATMS GET NEW LAYERS OF The role of ATMs has been growing in recent years. They are not only fast and convenient cash dispensers but also offer many other services, from currency exchange to bill payment. Creating a reliable and secure transaction environment for clients is a critical issue from both operational and customer service perspectives. The industry is trying to find additional avenues to secure transactions and is piloting biometric identification for use in ATMs.

illie Sutton was an American bank robber known for his innovative “career” and his successful jail breaks. When asked why he robbed banks, Sutton simply replied, “Because that’s where the money is.” Today, it seems bank branches are less focused on cashier services. Banks around the world have converted the way they work, relying more and more on mobile banking and networks of ATMs and information kiosks to serve their clients. In many places the branch experience is now limited to specific services which do not necessarily involve cash changing hands. A modern day Willie Sutton would no-doubt pay close attention to the ATM as a target for robbery. Since bank branches no longer

have safes with mounds of cash as before, ATMs, which often can hold several tens of thousands of dollars, become the target for criminals trying to gain access to money. Banks have to balance two demands: safeguard the money against robbery or fraud, and at the same time offer their clients an easy and seamless experience, providing a secure transaction without unnecessary burden for the clients.
SECURING ATMs AGAINST PHYSICAL ATTACK ATM security is an important topic addressed by international organizations such as ATMIA (ATM Industry Association) and EAST (European ATM Security Team). Attacks on ATMs can be divided into physical attacks, trying to reach the cash stored inside the ATM safe or fraud attempts. “Originally, starting in the 60s, physical security for ATMs was underdeveloped. Attacks soon started, as ATMs are spread around the globe, containing large quantities of cash and sitting close to public space. There are also many identical ATM units, which means that robbers can optimize their modus operandi and come up with faster and more successful ways to rob ATMs,” explained Pieter D. de Vlaam, Training and Certification Manager at Gunnebo, one of the world’s largest suppliers of ATM safes. According to de Vlaam, attacks on ATMs went through several stages of evolution. The first wave of attacks included breaking open the ATM with simple tools such as hammers and chisels — manufacturers answered the challenge by developing and implementing better safes. However, robbers did not sit still

and developed new methods of operations. “In the second stage the robbers started using torches and grinders, and eventually started gas blasting, a method in which robbers pry open the cash dispensing slot and pump gas into the ATM. The gas then detonates and blows apart the ATM from the inside giving the robbers access to the cash,” described de Vlaam. The next generation of attacks involves usage of solid explosives like Gelignite and PETN. Safe manufacturers are currently racing against robbers to provide adequate protection against the use of solid explosives.
Skimming and ATM Fraud Not all criminals choose to attack the ATM safe. Even though ATMs offer a very high potential for return, there are many difficulties due to better safes and newer protection standards. Many criminals resort to fraud attempts, using stolen cards or stealing card details using different skimming techniques. According to the US Secret Service, the agency in charge of fighting financial crime in the U.S., skimming costs American financial institutions about US$8 billion annually. A common modus operandi for robbers is to install clandestine card readers and spy cameras that copy magnetic card details. Once captured, the electronic data is encoded onto other cards and the captured PINs are used to withdraw money from customers’ accounts.
Video Surveillance
Many criminals resort to fraud attempts, using stolen cards or stealing card details using different skimming techniques.
More and more ATMs are using biometric identification (e.g., iris, fingerprint, face) for account access as an added layer of security.
Video surveillance is used extensively in ATM vestibules to record and detect fraud attempts. ATM surveillance equipment such as cameras and recorders needs to comply with specific small form factors and sometimes harsh environmental conditions. “There are three key requirements from video systems deployed in a banking environment. The first is central data integration, which guarantees that transaction data always resides behind secure firewalls in the corporate datacenter, in an environment compliant with the bank data and network operating policies. The second is real-time enterprise health management, so that system issues can be notified within seconds, and this ensures the video is up and running at all times. Finally, centralized management which enables the management of thousands of recorders from a single desktop in one location,” explained Karl Pardoe, Regional Sales Manager for the U.K. and Ireland in March Networks. However, besides the technical challenge, a successful solution requires the ability to interface with the bank’s transaction database to be able to detect fraud and provide a comprehensive security solution. “Our solution associates transactions in ATMs with the relevant video recording. When a suspicious transaction is detected by the bank, video feed can be quickly queried and accessed to assist investigation,” explained Cristina Velasco, Marketing Executive at Spain-based SCATI. “In addition to preventing fraud, it can also raise an immediate alarm in the event of physical aggression and sabotage at ATMs.”

HOW
ACCESS CONTROL SYSTEMS ARE DESIGNED IN
IoT
BY William Pao
The Internet of Things (IoT) is a growing phenomenon, with billions of devices already connected to the Internet and more to come. Amidst this trend, access control, which has more and more migrated to IP, will be an integral part of IoT, connecting with other security and non-security devices. That said, access control systems must be designed to suit the overall IoT trend, helping users achieve better security and more streamlined operations.

ust as security products have increasingly moved toward IP, the same holds true for access control. A study by IHS cited that in 2014, 60 percent of the global access control panel market was already IP-based, and the growth is set to continue. In that sense, access control inevitably becomes a part of the Internet of Things framework, connecting with a variety of networked devices. “End users are demanding connectivity between devices across networks, and security directors within enterprise organizations require access control solutions that are accessible remotely for security teams to access at any time, day or night,” said Mitchell Kane, President of Vanderbilt

DESIGNING ACCESS CONTROL TO SUIT IoT
With IoT becoming an unstoppable force, access control needs to be designed to reflect this overall trend. In particular, access control systems in IoT are designed with the following things in mind: enabling integration with other networked systems, providing a better user experience, and leveraging data generated by the devices.
Interoperability

IP-based access control systems can now be connected with other networked devices that are both security- and non-securityrelated. ”We are connecting with video surveillance systems, alarm systems ... and as IP knowledge becomes greater, we are finding easier ways to enable these systems to talk to each other,” said Ellams. ”Access control has almost become the backbone of building security and management systems, so a building now and in the future utilizes access control not just to open or close doors; it also drives other systems such as HVAC, lights, and various different products.” The key to integrating with other devices and achieving seamless interoperability lies in software and APIs, which have become more open than ever in the era of IoT. “The access control system and the components are providing open interfaces, allowing integration with surrounding systems,” said Thomas Herling, SVP of Global Business Owner in Electronic Access and Data at Kaba. “Originally in the access control space, it wasn't so open and flexible.

We don’t want to just sell you the software platform; we want to make sure that both software and hardware work in harmony, improving time to market and helping our customers build better solutions. We achieve the results by providing turnkey end-to-end software solutions and services. We offer hardware reference designs, a robust software platform, a turn-key UX and UI program and we offer a subscription services platform that enables our clients to monetize their solution. We can make sure products from different categories work well, including smart locks, thermostats, etc. Furthermore, we help our clients to build the hub or gateway of their choice and provide the integrated software platform that runs the consumer IoT business. For example, insurance companies don’t want to be in the hardware business. They want to deliver value to the consumer by protecting their homes and properties. Connected home solutions can help insurers prevent the frequency and severity of claims. We work with hardware companies to provide insurance players with turn-key starter kits under insurance companies’ names. We can bridge them via our platform to create more business opportunities. We’ve worked to help our customers to improve their abilities to monetize the platform. We hope to elevate
the smart home from a notification engine to an end-to-end home-service solution, creating new and recurring revenue opportunities for Zonoff clients and partners. We integrate our platform with HomeAdvisor’s network of prescreened and customer-rated home service professionals, giving consumers the ability to not only be aware that something is wrong, but also to instantly connect with home professionals like plumbers and electricians through their smart home platforms. Our platform can provide notifications when there is an issue in the home but the homeowners are away at the time of a home maintenance issue or unable to take speedy actions. For instance, if you have a home automation system which detects leaks, you can dispatch plumbers or electricians to your house through the app to fix the leak that may cause the damage.
What are the main market drivers? Every big technology company wants to take part in the consumer IoT marketplace. We see lots of opportunities and innovation with service providers like cable, ISP, telco, and home security companies, as well as retailers. Service providers like cable companies, ISP, telco, security companies generate sales revenue by installing and fixing products for their customers. They have established subscribers and are selling services on a regular basis. Those models are most effective for mass marketplace adoption.
Do you see any killer applications? From our perspective, there is no “killer” application – everything is so specific and personalized, creating lots of capabilities is crucial. I think there will be lots of important applications like personal safety, having a grandparent or elderly

parent being contacted with them by using the technology. User can monitor family members from a remote location, and send messages to take care of their health. It could reduce cost and complexity to improve the lives of consumers. The healthcare market has been getting a lot of attention lately. While we think the application is still more in the early stages, currently, there are lots of new ideas like improving healthcare system better and new innovations of elderly care. Healthcare will be a big focus for Zonoff over the next few years. The industry is booming with lots of new innovations and technologies. Voice control is going to be prominent. In 2016, we will integrate voice control technology into our platform. We think Amazon Alexa is one of the great technologies which has been licensed to different devices.
What are your observations on smart home in the coming years? Concerning protocols, right now there seem to be too many competing standards in the marketplace. We believe that there should be more than one standard to ensure competition and choice. From my point of view, however, we have too many standards or companies trying to introduce new standards so they can control a portion of the market. In terms of adoption and growth, the smart home market consists of three main segments in the U.S.: premium/whole home, mass-market professionally installed and DIY. The premium market will continue to grow but is limited by the price of entry. The mass-market professionally installed systems, like ADT Pulse, will lead the market in growth and DIY will follow. Many consumers still need someone to help them install products for them. Professional installers can deliver better consumer experience than the DIY segment as some DIY products still require lots of effort and knowledge to be installed. The market is in the early stages and it is expected to grow dramatically over the next few years. We think that the industry will take off significantly over the next twelve to eighteen months. We believe that smart home technology will continue to improve and it will become much simpler to use multiple products and services together in that time.

STATISTICS AND REPORTS In this article, we will highlight findings from new reports by leading research firms. In summary, MarketsandMarkets predicts that the global HEMS market will grow between 2015 and 2022. Gartner presents top IoT technologies for 2017 and 2018 and TechNavio sees the growth of the global WiFi chipset market between 2016 and 2020.
1. MarketsandMarkets: Global HEMS market will grow to US$ 3.2 billion by 2022, with ZigBee technology growing at the highest rate According to MarketsandMarkets’ report, the global market for HEMS is forecast to grow from $864.2 million in 2015 to $3.2 billion by 2022 at a CAGR of 18.4 percent. The report listed three factors the market is expected to be driven by: • Increased real-time energy conservation approach • Convenience of cloud computing and data analytics • Increased device interconnectivity The report also stated that the ZigBee technology is expected to grow at the highest rate in this market because it supports a variety of topologies such as mesh, stellate, and tree, making it widely preferred by most of the

2. Gartner: Five of the top 10 IoT technologies for 2017 and 2018 are smart home-relevant
MAY 2016 Ɣ www.asmag.com
Gartner announced the top 10 Internet of Things technologies for 2017 to 2018 in a recent report, including IoT security, IoT analytics; IoT device (thing) management; low-power, short-range IoT networks; low-power, wide-area networks; IoT processors; IoT operating systems; event stream processing; IoT platforms; and IoT standards and ecosystems. Among the predictions, there are five categories particularly relevant to the smart home space:
IOT SECURITY The IoT introduces a wide range of new security risks and

challenges to the IoT devices themselves, their platforms and operating systems, their communications, and even the systems to which they’re connected. Security technologies will be required to protect IoT devices and platforms
Year 2022
from both information attacks and physical tampering, encrypt their communications, and address new challenges such as impersonating “things” or denial-of-sleep attacks that drain batteries. IoT security will be complicated by the fact that many “things” use simple processors and that operating systems may not support sophisticated security approaches.

IOT ANALYTICS IoT business models will exploit the information collected by "things" in many ways — for example, to understand customer behavior, to deliver services, to improve products, and to identify and intercept business moments. However, IoT demands new analytic approaches. New analytic tools and algorithms are needed now, but as data volumes increase through 2021, the needs of the IoT may diverge further from traditional analytics.
IOT DEVICE (THING) MANAGEMENT Long-lived nontrivial “things” will require management and monitoring. This includes device monitoring, firmware and software updates, diagnostics,

crash analysis and reporting, physical management, and security management. The IoT also brings new problems of scale to the management task. Tools must be capable of managing and monitoring thousands and perhaps even millions of devices.
LOW-POWER, SHORTRANGE IOT NETWORKS Selecting a wireless network for an IoT device involves balancing many conflicting requirements, such as range, battery life, bandwidth, density, endpoint cost, and operational cost. Low-power, short-range networks will dominate wireless IoT connectivity through 2025, far outnumbering connections using wide-area IoT networks. However, commercial and technical trade-offs mean
that many solutions will coexist, with no single dominant winner and clusters emerging around certain technologies, applications, and vendor ecosystems.
IOT PLATFORM IoT platforms bundle many of the infrastructure components of an IoT system into a single product. The services provided by such platforms fall into three main categories: (1) lowlevel device control and operations such as communications, device monitoring and management, security, and firmware updates; (2) IoT data acquisition, transformation and management; and (3) IoT application development, including event-driven logic, application programming, visualization, analytics, and adapters to connect to enterprise systems.
