Marriage of IP Video & VMS

By now, the news of Canon Europe acquiring Milestone Systems has made its way into every nook and cranny of the security industry. The fact that Canon Europe, a small fish in the video surveillance game, was the acquirer proved to be much more of a shocker.

Editor's Note Another HD Storm Is Brewing

S

everal years ago, a&s magazines featured the HD SDI standard extensively.

The reason was to remind readers that, to get high-definition, there was an alternative called HD SDI that had been in use in the world of broadcasting for a long time. The advantage was that it was an extension of the traditional CCTV technology and was less of a burden compared to IP, which required installers to have an understanding in network architecture, bandwidth calculation, and storage management.

Yet, the unit price of HD SDI remained high, and there was a lack of marketing efforts to promote it. The end result was slow adoption to this technology.

Interestingly, over the past one to two years China’s Dahua has been pushing its own HD CVI standard, which is also built on users’ legacy cabling but is less expensive and supported with a broad international customer base. This has led to the realization that HD CVI is a force to be reckoned with.

I believe we all get the sense that another HD storm is brewing. Besides CVI, there are also competing technologies including TVI, spearheaded by Hikvision and TVT, and Analog HD, spearheaded by Next Chip. Each of them features low prices, transmission of 500 meters, and multi-vendor interoperability.

With these technologies in place, users interested in HD surveillance can consider other alternatives besides IP: they can go with HD-over-coaxial solutions, which are less expensive and simpler to install. For those seeking to upgrade their CCTV, this will spare them a huge installation fee. For some emerging markets, where users are price-sensitive and there aren’t enough installers who are well-versed in IP, HD-over-coaxial may be more acceptable to them. On the contrary, for those demanding high integration and solutions with more intelligence, IP HD may be a better option.

I’ve been calling for and anticipating a new market order. In the midst of chaos and price wars that have thrown users off the balance, these HD-over-coaxial solutions may very well be a catalyst for that new order.

QNAP NVR & CMS Safeguards Chinese Culture University in Taipei In order to manage a 115-hectare wide campus and to provide a safe educational environment for its students, Chinese Culture University located in Taipei, Taiwan had installed around 650 cameras supplied by QNAP throughout the campus to keep a close eye on buildings, the sports stadium, and open spaces. Founded in 1962, the Chinese Culture University (CCU) has an educational vision to grow and promote Chinese culture, particularly traditional Chinese arts and physical education. Originally CCU used a PC-based recording software solution, but “the PC-based solution isn't stable enough, and the PC shuts down from time to time,” said Mr. Chen, the leader of the CCU Surveillance Department. Therefore, CCU started to look for a Linux-based standalone NVR system for a more reliable surveillance solution. CCU also required a central management system (CMS) in their main control center to help centrally monitor and manage the spacious campus. Wergen Technology, the long-term cooperative system integrator for CCU, recommended QNAP security surveillance solutions. A total of 21QNAP NVR units were installed in each of these rooms. Security administrators can easily use the NVR for real-time monitoring and video playback with HDMI local display. CCU also deployed a QNAP CMS at the main control center, so security administrators can centrally monitor and manage all the surveillance videos from multiple NVRs with minimum effort and maximum efficiency.

IndigoVision Watches Out for Guide Dogs

Shanghai Metro Adopts TDSi’s Solution

Guide Dogs Victoria (GDV) o f Au s t r a l i a h a ve c h o s e n IndigoVision’s solution to help monitor their whelping and birthing suites. Breeding dogs are selected for their high intelligence and recognition among other factors, with each newborn puppy costing in excess of US$27,422 to fully train, so constant monitoring of newborn puppies and mothers is essential.

GDV wanted key staff members to have remote access to the live cameras covering the birthing suites, so that they could provide support to their colleagues on-site instantly, without having to drive there in person.

A combination of IndigoVision’s cameras, software, and a NVR were deployed to create a system offering high-definition video locally on site, while allowing staff to view a standard definition stream remotely.

Staff are seeing the benefits, as they are able to respond to incidents more efficiently, without having to worry about key members being off-site and unable to assist, meaning that their dogs are safely watched.

With successful installations already in full operation on the Shanghai Metro‘s Line 6 and Line 9, security specialist Beijing STY turned again to access control specialist TDSi‘s products, in partnership with its distribution partner in China, ZDX, to provide a fully integrated securit y solution for installation on Line 7.

Shanghai Metro is one of the newest and fastest growing rapid transit systems in the world, with 329 stations and over 538 kilometer of track running both above and underground, making it one of the longest in the world.

Line 7 connects the Baoshan District with the city center and Pudong District.

Beijing STY, in conjunction with TDSi and ZDX, had already developed and supplied fully

integrated access control solutions for Lines 6 and 9. Each Line is served by over 40 stations as well as its own Operational Control Center (OCC ), with around 2,000 doors secured and controlled by TDSi‘s systems on each line. The access control solution for the project features TDSi‘s controllers, software platform, and smart card readers.

In order to maintain its sustainable corporate development in such a highly competitive security market, Hikvision understands that only selling products is no longer the future; rather, how to become a solution provider should be the main key.

Hikvision, originally positioned as a product manufacturer, has now started to get more involved with providing solutions. The transformation has driven the company to adapt to new products, markets, customers, supply chains, and business models.

First, Hikvision worked on completing its video surveillance product lines with NVRs/DVRs, cameras, transmissions, storage, and monitors. The company has also made great effort in developing video management software (VMS). Cai added that the investment in software is really huge. At Hikvision, among the company’s over 3500-person R&D team, around half of them focus on developing software for embedded systems, VMS, algorithms for video content analysis (VCA), cloud storage, and big data, etc.

In addition, Hikvision has selected seven verticals — police, transportation, banking, buildings, justice, education, and energy — to develop relevant solutions for its domestic market. Under each vertical, the company has also established a designated division to fully develop its R&D, marketing, technical support, and customer service teams. With all of these efforts, Hikvision has achieved great accomplishments in these vertical's permeation, and based on that, the company is now capable of offering tailored solutions close to the market, and have even started to make some progress in many large projects overseas. For instance, its VMS, iVM 5200, a platform for large-scale projects, has been used for big projects in Asia and in the U.S. www.asmag.com

Cover Story COMPLETE HD SOLUTIONS TAILORED FOR APPLICATIONS

SMART EVOLUTION IN HD IP SURVEILLANCE FOR PROFESSIONAL

A key element in supporting the company’s development of solutions is its competitive products, plus a strong brand. “It is very obvious that customers need HD video surveillance products for all the verticals and applications. To give into the demand toward HD, Hikvision now focuses on developing a complete HD product line and specific sales strategies, tailoring for entry-level, middle, and high-end sectors,” Keen Yao, International Marketing Director of Hikvision highlighted. Meanwhile, "each segment market still has specific demands other than HD, such as smart technology, ease-of-use, and other features.

In order to fully match these specific requirements, Hikvision offers multiple solutions suitable for different sectors," he continued.

Hikvision’s competitive products especially show in its latest IP video product line, Smart IP, which is highly demanded in mid to high-end markets.

Representing the next generation of surveillance, Hikvision Smart IP solutions feature a simplicity that puts the power of intelligent management at a user's fingertips, as well as bringing together a new wave of smart technologies.

Hikvision Smart IP solutions incorporate comprehensive prevention and response measures to promote event detection and quicker response time.

“Besides high resolution with up to 6-megapixel real-time video and extra high reliability, Hikvision’s Smart IP product line also features many intelligence and automated functionalities, such as smart detection, smart search, autofocus, and video quality detection, etc," said Dani Wang, International Product Director of Hikvision. Additionally, "Hikvision makes great efforts in optimizing its IP solutions to fully satisfy the ever-demanding professional markets, in terms of the enhancement of image quality, ease-of-use, and others," he continued.

IP SURVEILLANCE MADE EASY FOR SMB

Hikvision now focuses on developing a complete HD product line tailoring for entry-level, middle, and high-end sectors.

Polo Cai, VP, Hikvision Digital Technology

Particularly for the small and mid-sized business (SMB) sector, “Hikvision promotes our Easy IP, HDTVI, and HD-SDI product lines,” Yao said. Going IP in security products has become a definite trend in all different market sectors due to its outstanding features for scalability, remote control/configuration, extra added values, and connectivity. How fast IP video products can fully penetrate the SMB sector really depends on the country’s IP infrastructure and users’ requirements for security systems.

SMB customers usually tend to be more price-sensitive. Since SMB users usually do not possess professional technological skills and knowledge, they prefer to choose products that are easy to use and configure. Yao continued, “As a result, for SMB users, Hikvision’s HD cameras and NVRs feature plug-and-play and optional WiFi functionality to ensure easy configuration. Hikvision also provides cloud service to add extra values for all IP product lines." For example, for SMB sector, especially the residential market, Hikvision's IP video products highlight their "EZVIZ" peer-to-peer (P2P) connectivity under the "Internet-of-Things" architecture.

By simply downloading the EZVIZ smartphone application, users can get live view or playback remotely over the Internet through an easy scan-to-view operation.

HDTVI BRINGS HD TO ANALOG PRODUCTS

How Hikvision intends to acquire more market share in the SMB market is through its recent launch of “HDTVI” products, based on a new HD-over-coaxial solution, TVI. HDTVI solves the drawbacks of HD-SDI solutions — it is able to transmit HD video data within a 500-meter distance via coaxial cable, and most importantly, it is cost-effective. According to Yao, "HDTVI is a hi-tech tour-deforce in zero-latency, long distance HD-over-coax that demonstrates our commitment to pushing the boundaries of CCTV technology. Until recently, the only option for HD resolution was the wholesale adoption of IP cameras

Amidst political corruption and general instability, a military coup d'état occurred on May 22nd, overthrowing Yingluck Shinawatra’s government. With the military having installed Prayuth Chan-ocha as the new prime minister of Thailand, political stability and honesty look to be the new buzzwords. a&s looks at how the markets and industry are doing since the coup a few months back.

t first glance, with its beautiful attractions and large populations of tourists, the Kingdom of Thailand might not seem all that bad or unstable. However, in the last year, political instability and corruption have ransacked the country and slowed economic growth to a halt. With a recent military coup and a new prime minister installed, Thailand looks to stabilize and rebuild its industries. “For the past few years, there have been lots of conflict and fighting. There has been little progress in the country. Right now though, with the military coup happening, the country has cooled down and is more stable. There are now strong indications that the Thai economy will recover,” said Suwich Chitkasemsuk, MD for Digitalcom.

A Glance Back 2013-14 have been two years of economic and political turmoil for Thailand. Stemming from the influence of Thaksin Shinawatra on Thai politics, the majority of the Thai population viewed Thaksin as highly corrupt and damaging to Thailand’s democracy and economy. Coupled with the fact that political parties allied to Thaksin have won majorities in every election since 2001, the political hotbox became an issue of fierce debate and turbulence. With the aim of removing Thaksin’s influence on politics and the creation of an elected “people’s council” to oversee reforms, anti-government protests began in November 2013 calling for the resignation of Yingluck Shinawatra, sister of Thaksin. The protests eventually resulted in the Royal Thai Army declaring martial law throughout the nation, followed by the removal of power from Yingluck, a military coup d'état, and the establishment of a military junta. In recent events, Prayuth Chan-ocha, army chief of Thailand, has now been established as the new interim

Thailand Companies Remain Optimistic In the wake of political unrest and a shift in the economic sectors, companies in Thailand remain optimistic that the new military government will open up new large-scale projects and shift the security industry back on its feet. a&s features a few companies in Thailand as we take a deeper glance at their thoughts.

Digital Focus Steps Up According to Somchai Prajaksoot, MD for Digital Focus, one of the premiere distributors for Hikvision across Thailand, Chinese products are clearing the hurdles of a past reputation of inferior quality that they were known for, and are now “leaders in technology and quality as well as competitive prices,” he said. Indeed, utilizing Hikvision’s broad range of product lines for all different market sectors, ranging from SMB to large-scale projects as well as distinct brand recognition, Digital Focus has been able to penetrate into more project markets, such as in city surveillance.

In all, Prajaksoot believes that Hikvision has established itself as a strong brand with quality products, and all at a competitive price. Now, with Hikvision well on the road to passing UL standards, Digital Focus now believes that Hikvision will be able to compete with other large global brands, thereby winning over more government projects.

Overall, like other distributors, Digital Focus has similarly turned their focus over to total solutions.

The company understands that it is not just a box-moving market anymore, and it is definitely not an easy market anymore either. Another solution they are turning to in order to counteract this is looking for and hiring more technical people to better technical know-how and support.

Somchai Prajaksoot, MD, Digital Focus

TSOLUTIONS Looks to Expand Due to the growing power some Chinese companies possess, Sakchai Somsuk, MD for TSOLUTIONS, one of the premiere distributors for VIVOTEK in Thailand, brought up the point that competition from China is at a very high level. Up to 30 to 40 percent cheaper when compared to VIVOTEK, TSOLUTIONS still counts on VIVOTEK and its brand recognition in order to transform into a solutions provider.

TSOLUTIONS continues to expand their vertical markets, utilizing VIVOTEK solutions in the commercial project sector, namely in hotels and retail. Lately, it has expanded in the Thai market, as they look into other market sectors, like government and large-scale commercial.

As Somsuk also mentioned, the market is still settling, due to the political situation. As a result of this, many government projects have been delayed or otherwise outright cancelled. Despite this, a lot of new importers and vendors are coming to Thailand, and as a result of these two situations, Thailand is now oversupplied with distributors, with too many settling in. Because of high competition, it remains important that price-performance wise, to keep both costs down and margins down.

HIP Continues to Expand HIP Global remains one of the stronger distributors in the country. Tony Yang, President of HIP Global, who had been in the tourism industry for over 20 years, where it is a highly competitive market, brings his competitive experience and skillset to HIP in order to continue to point HIP towards a better situation. Yang emphasized maintaining closer relationships with both people in the industry as well as maintaining close relationships with customers.

Some other drivers that Yang pointed out in regards to mounting margin pressures are facts that own in-house brands can usually win better profit margins. Another important point is to constantly be on the lookout for new products and to look bigger, and drive down costs.

One of the top distributors in Thailand, HIP also looks to continue expanding by further promotions of competitive products and by carrying and moving products at a high rate of speed. For instance, the company has around 200 channel partners and 40 retail shops, which will increase 100 more in the near future.

Of note is the fact that HIP still gains the majority of domestic customers, while exporting about 40 percent. HIP also takes part in around 15 exhibitions a year and eight road shows nationwide in collaboration with government agencies.

Overall, HIP looks to continue to keep their grip on the domestic market as well as the international market. Now firmly entrenched in the biometrics, access control, and video surveillance market, they have also recently introduced barrier control solutions, with more then 80 countries worldwide carrying their brand. In the future, HIP will look to expand into Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam, and Indonesia.

Among the products offered by Bacom are IP cameras, VMS, storage, LED lighting, and network equipment, manufactured by such major brands as Axis, Brickcom, Digiever, and exacqVision.

As one of the three major distributors of Axis in Thailand starting from 2013, Bacom continues to impart a footprint in the Thai security industry. According to Tanakrit Rojanasiraprapa, MD for Bacom, Axis has brought a lot to the table for the distributor. “We have learned a lot about being a good distributor from Axis.

One of the things we got from them is how to make good systems.”

Another thing that Axis has brought to Bacom is projects. Because of its global presence and brand recognition, Axis has the ability to help its distributors in Thailand create projects and sales startups. They help Bacom with its distribution system, and they also help with marketing funds. “After we started working with Axis, our business started developing and developing,” Rojanasiraprapa said.

Some examples of projects being looked at right now include some very large-scale buildings, such as department stores or condo developments.

A predicament impacting the global market is the price wars that have been occurring across the industry. Bacom is no exception, having faced price cuts and loss of margins. Establishing a relationship with Axis however, has helped control margins and price cuts. Alongside Axis’s help though, Bacom has also developed a different path on its own in order to further help control their margins. Rojanasiraprapa specifically mentioned that in order to stay afloat as a distributor, they need to do something different to stand out, such as being more of a value-added distributor as well as designing solutions more catered on a personal level to suit their customer needs.

he anti-China protests that escalated to a riot in May resulted in damages to factories in industrial parks. Many of them were looted or burned down, causing injuries and several deaths to people who were caught in the incidents. The aftermath of the event led to losses of millions of dollars in damages and ceasing of manufacturing operations, as well as temporarily causing economic consequences as factories were required to close down for safety issues. Such violence meant an increase in security demand. Now, Vietnam is reevaluating their security issues, looking to improve safety and deter future incidents.

ECONOMIC GROWTH STILL STRONG Despite the riot, Vietnam is unlikely to suffer significant economic impact. According to IHS Research, the economic and commercial impact on Vietnam’s investment image in the wake of the anti-China riot will be limited, since production is likely to resume quickly in the affected areas. Additionally, the drop in Chinese investment is expected to be temporary, as it is more likely to delay commitment to new projects than lead to the cancellation of existing projects in Vietnam.

Governments Put a Fin Identity Management No longer just a technology used by spies in movies and science-fiction novels, biometrics technology has found a very real use in everyday applications, particularly by government entities looking for more efficient identity management of its citizens.

BY EIFEH STROM

B

iometrics technology often finds itself the center of attention in spy movies — a spy cuts off the finger of a high-ranking official to access a secret off-book site or lifts a fingerprint from a coffee mug to access top-secret files. Oddly enough, these examples are also reasons people have hesitations about biometrics for security purposes — if it is that easy to hack in a movie, what about in reality? This is a common concern especially now that an increasing number of governments worldwide are choosing to use biometric information for identity management. In fact, the use of biometrics technology is growing quite rapidly throughout the world in various applications. According to a report by Transparency Market Research, the global biometrics technology market is projected to reach a value of US$23.3 billion by 2019, at a CAGR of 20.8 percent from 2013 to 2019.

Particularly in APAC where there are numerous evolving economies, there is a strong necessity for building infrastructure in terms of border security and national identification. As a result, the APAC biometrics technology market is expected to witness a faster growth as compared to Europe, the Middle East, and North America. In fact, APAC is expected to grow at the fastest CAGR of 22 percent from 2013 to 2019, according to Transparency Market Research. Furthermore, APAC is expected to be the highest contributor in terms of market growth as compared to other regions in the global fingerprint sensors market, which is projected to reach $14.4 billion by 2020, growing at a high CAGR of 16.8 percent from 2014 to 2020, according to a report by MarketsandMarkets.

Growth of biometrics technology has in large part been due to recent government initiatives in regions around the world, particularly in Asia where India’s Unique Identification (UID) program has become the world’s largest rollout of biometric national identification cards (ID). Projects such as e-passports, national ID programs, and various border control projects such as the European Dactyloscopy (EURODAC), the European Union Visa Information Systems (VIS), and new generation Schengen Information System (SIS II) are propelling the biometrics market forward, according to Transparency Market Research. The report further pointed out that the transport/visa/logistics and government segments made up more than 50 percent of the total biometrics technology market in 2012, due to the growing need to examine travelers’ credentials.

WHY GOVERNMENTS ARE GOING BIOMETRIC

ger on James Lee, CEO, Suprema

As terrorist attacks and other crimes continue to be a threat, it has become all the more important for governments to make sure its citizens are safe by taking measures to not only tighten security, but keep better track of citizens.

“Biometrics technology is in the limelight for a new generation that can kill two birds with one stone, ‘security’ and ‘convenience,’” said James Lee, CEO of Suprema. The convenience of biometrics just so happens to be a big plus for governments that are looking for a better way to manage identities. Other benefits of biometrics technology for governments are the integrity and credibility it provides to databases and transactions. “One of the attributes of biometrics is that in the enrollment process there is a de-duplication or adjudication of the data to assure that one person is enrolled at a time,” said Bill Dumont, EVP of M2SYS. “This gives the database integrity and assures things such as one person, one vote, or one family gets one helping of food rations.”

Bill Dumont, EVP, M2SYS

IMPORTANCE OF CERTIFICATIONS

Håkan Persson, CEO, Precise Biometrics

Kim Humborstad, CEO, Zwipe

When a government decides to utilize such technology, high standards for the equipment used must be met. However, like for anything, there are many different standards and certifications that are issued by many different existing institutions and organizations. “Most countries rely on quality standards from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) or US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) such as appendix F certification (Appendix F has stringent image quality conditions, focusing on the human fingerprint comparison and facilitating large scale machine many-to-many matching operations) or PIV (personal identity verification) certification.

PIV-071006 is a lower-level standard designed to support one-to-one fingerprint verification,” Dumont said.

Early Detection, Fast Respo How Security Enhances Metro Emergency Management

BY WILLIAM PAO

Taking public transportation has become a normal way of life for people constantly on the go. Yet despite various safety measures implemented by the operators, disasters, whether natural or caused by humans, occur from time to time. Luckily, today’s security technologies have evolved to enable better emergency management for operators, and passengers can travel with peace of mind.

P

ublic transportation has become a common way for people to commute, travel, or get to wherever they want to go.

According to figures provided by UITP in 2013, 148 cities in the world have a metro system, carrying a total of 150 million passengers daily. Of the top ten busiest metro systems in the world, six were in Asia, namely Tokyo (No. 1), Seoul (No. 2), Beijing (No. 4), Shanghai (No. 5), Guangzhou (No. 6), and Hong Kong (No. 10).

But, while operators around the world work hard to make sure their public transportation systems are safe, major accidents still happen from time to time. Also, due to public transit’s open nature and the fact that security checks are less stringent than air travel, metros and buses are easier targets for terrorist attacks. The 1995 Sarin gas attack on Tokyo subways and the Mumbai train bombings in 2006 were two

horrific and painful incidents in recent times.

Against this backdrop, security plays a major role in emergency management. Consider a more recent and less devastating example close to home. On August 26, a woman taking the Taipei metro alleged a male college student of “touching” her. A passenger who saw this pressed the emergency call button and notified the operations command center (OCC) of the incident. When the train rolled into the next stop, police went into the car and took the suspect away.

For today’s metro operators, they can be

Tips on Surveillance Deployment on Trains or Buses

nse:

In general, four to six cameras are the ideal number for installation on each bus or metro car. “In a standard subway car of 20-meter length, four cameras may be sufficient. The ideal position should be for two cameras in the middle of the car pointing in opposite directions and one at each end of the car pointing towards the middle,” said Ravinder Singh, Deputy President for Corporate and Market Development at Singapore Technologies Electronics.

According to Tasman Tai, Sales Engineer at Ensec Solutions, it is recommended to have at least four cameras in a bus, one for the entrance, one for inside the car, one for front view, and one for rear view. “The main principle is to cover all internal and external areas and all seats, including driver’s seat, and to recognize everyone’s face when they get on the bus,” he said.

Yet, Alex Kwan, General Manager of SecuRex, points out the ideal number of cameras should also depend on the resolution of the cameras and the “pixel density” required to deliver the appropriate level of details. “So, less number of cameras will be needed, if we employ higher resolution cameras,” he said.

Panoramic cameras are helpful to save money with little compromise to the coverage area. These cameras are especially suitable for Asia metros and buses due to their compact nature, which makes capturing every detail by traditional lenses and fisheye lenses nearly impossible.

aided by the latest developments in security technologies, including PSIM, PA, intercom, and intelligent software such as VCA to deal with emergencies even more efficiently. With these technologies in place, operators can detect threats, act upon them, and respond to incidents quickly.

VCA: DETECTING THREATS EARLY A major component of preventing disasters in public transit is early detection of threats. Unattended bags, individuals loitering on the platform, or unauthorized entry into tunnels may lead to disastrous consequences if not dealt with in time.

An effective tool that can help operators detect threats early is video content analysis (VCA), also known as video analytics, which

This article explores different nt sollut utio ions ns bei eing proposed to impro rove ve emergency y management on metros, and what experts think theirr pros an and d co cons are.

ADAPTED FROM A&S TAIWAN

O

n May 21, one of the biggest tragedies ever occurring on Taipei’s metro happened: a 21-year-old man allegedly stabbed passengers randomly inside a moving train with a knife. The incident left four dead and 24 injured. At the stop immediately following the incident, the suspect stepped off, apparently trying to hurt more people before being overpowered by police.

SECURITY CONCERNS RAISED The event engendered fresh new calls for a re-examination of security implementations on not only Taipei’s metro, which services a daily average of 1.8 million passengers, but also Taiwan’s major metro systems. Concerns were especially focused on three areas, namely whether video streams captured by onboard cameras should be transmitted directly to the operations control center (OCC), whether metro authorities and law enforcement officials should share the same radio frequencies to facilitate communication during the rescue process, and whether high-resolution cameras are needed to offer crystal-clear images.

Video Transmission During the stabbing incident, images captured by onboard cameras were sent to the driver, who then informed the OCC of the crisis. This procedure was blamed for causing delayed response. That the video streams weren’t sent directly to the

68

SEPTEMBER 2014

control room was something criticized by the public.

To this, Gwa-guang Tan, President of Taipei Rapid Transit Corporation (TRTC) that operates the metro, said where the video streams go depends upon whether there is a driver in the train. For medium-capacity trains that are mostly driverless, videos are sent back to the command center. Yet for high-capacity trains such as the one where the tragedy took place, drivers are present, and videos are sent directly to them instead of to the OCC. Said Allan Hu, Rail System Engineer with Sinotech Engineering Consultants, drivers are able to see the streamed videos on their monitors that are divided into nine or 16 sub-screens. When the emergency button is pushed, the driver will see a blown up image captured by the camera closest to it. But to send these images back to the OCC, certain critical components are needed, for example high-bandwidth transmission and wireless technology, which will inevitably cost more money.

“Setting up a link between the train and the OCC is usually designed for driverless trains. It’s more of a compensation measure for not having a monitoring person onboard,” he said.

While TRTC has promised to evaluate the feasibility of establishing a direct train-OCC link on high-capacity trains, security experts offer mixed opinions on whether this will really ensure faster response.

In the view of one expert who wishes to remain anonymous, OCC personnel may not necessarily get the whole picture of an ongoing event through videos that are streamed to them. It’s up to the driver at the scene, he argues, to respond to the situation based on the

standard operating procedures.

According to Fred Hsiao, Director of Surveillance at Good Will Instrument, the question should be what technology or solution is most effective in terms of helping OCC personnel gain situational awareness. “You don’t necessarily need to rely on high-definition images to inform someone that you are in an emergency situation,” Hsiao said. “With emergency call points that are also available, you can alert security personnel through sounds and get the same effect.”

Sharing of Radio Frequencies Due to the nature of their jobs, police and firefighters use dedicated radio frequencies that are not accessible to metro authorities. This has resulted in metro personnel not being able to communicate with police and fire officials during an emergency.

To make up for this shortfall, metro systems have various solutions in place. For example, said Hu, wireless points of interconnection (POI) have been set up in tunnels on the future airport metro system. This way, during an emergency that requires police and fire officials to enter the tunnels, they can interface with radios carried by metro personnel and maintain constant, connected communication during the rescue process. Meanwhile, operators have other compensatory measures including distributing additional metro-use radios to police and fire officials, who can then

70

SEPTEMBER 2014

communicate with metro personnel.

For some experts, this only provides a partial solution. A complete solution ultimately rests upon the government’s action to open up police radio frequencies to all parties in tunnels, so that always-on, seamless communication can be maintained.

High Resolution or Not? Each time a major event happens, the quality of video always becomes the center of attention. Yet, the fact of the matter is IP cameras, which offer higher-resolution images, are increasingly being deployed on metro systems. Taipei’s metro, for example, has migrated from analog cameras and DVRs to IP cams and NVRs, amid growing demands for better-quality images and maturity in IP cameras and networking technology. Yet, Hu reminds that analog and IP cameras are set up differently, and the design of an IP-based security system must be based on a holistic perspective. “While image quality has gone up with IP cameras, there is a proportionate increase in bit streams, which require better transmission,” Hu said.

This means in an upgrade to IP, the installer needs to look not only at the cameras themselves but also routers, servers, storage devices, and the supporting infrastructure, all of which incur huge costs. “You won’t see the kind of high-quality images you want just by changing the cameras alone,” he said.

MARRIAGE OF

o & e d i VM V S IP n BY EIFEH STROM

By now, the news of Canon Europe acquiring Milestone Systems has made its way into every nook and cranny of the security industry. While the acquisition itself may not have come as such a surprise, the fact that Canon Europe, a small fish in the video surveillance game, was the acquirer proved to be much more of a shocker. Now, the question of what this means for other video surveillance and video management software (VMS) companies is weighing heavily on the industry’s mind.

74

SEPTEMBER 2014

n a recent report by IHS Research, Milestone Systems was named the number one VMS company globally in terms of market share in 2013 with a year-over-year revenue growth of 32 percent.

Despite being at the top, Milestone still has a market share of less than 10 percent, making the fragmentation of the VMS market quite apparent.

When the announcement came in June that the global leader in VMS was acquired by Canon Europe, many were stunned. The fact that Milestone was acquired wasn’t the surprise; it was the acquirer, a relative nobody in the IP video surveillance industry that was the shocker. However, beyond the shock and surprise, the acquisition of a software company by a hardware company, regardless of brand, makes complete sense in an increasingly competitive industry.

I

HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE: THE PERFECT MATCH The convergence of IP video with the larger information technology (IT) world is no surprise. “IP video will converge with IT,” asserted Stephan Rasp, CEO of SeeTec. “Traditional security systems are just the first step. Buzzwords like ‘Internet 4.0’ and ‘Internet of Things’ attempt to capture the dynamics of processing a diverse set of sensors and actors on the same IT infrastructure as management systems.” To that effect, the fact that software on its own is a non-starter should make the acquisition of a software company by a hardware company unsurprising. In the case of Canon Europe and Milestone, it was simply the names that made this otherwise natural marriage surprising. “What Canon’s acquisition of Milestone tells is basically emphasizing the importance of the synergy brought by the integration of software and hardware,” said Steve Ma, EVP of VIVOTEK. “The integration of hardware and software platforms not only can generate a powerful synergy for customers, but also can be critical to keep products and services at the forefront of innovation, with the latest cutting-edge applications to meet a variety of customers’ needs. Therefore, since the company’s establishment, VIVOTEK has collaborated closely with international and regional video management software programmers to seamlessly integrate camera functionalities onto different platforms. ” According to James Wang, Product Director at Dahua Technology, “the integration of hardware and software will become more common due to the development of new technology, such as cloud, big data, going mobile, etc., which speeds up the consolidation in IP video surveillance.” In particular for VMS vendors, Wang pointed out, “As the number of VMS vendors are on the rise, it is natural for the market to have a reshuffle and make the strong ones stay and become even stronger.”

IMPLICATIONS FOR SMALL VMS VENDORS

the challenge for smaller brands is not really a consequence of the Milestone deal but the sign of a market, which turns from a growth-dominated market to a more mature, competitive market,” said Rasp.

“For smaller players it will be crucial to find ‘blue oceans,’ which are less competitive, and not to attack the major players in their core ▲ Stephan Rasp, CEO, SeeTec business.” Blue oceans (untapped market space) may make survival in an increasingly competitive market possible for smaller VMS vendors that may better be able to fill niche segments and more specialized demands or market beyond the traditional security sector, explained Rasp.

Consolidation Inevitable for Fragmented Markets?

The latest analysis of the video surveillance market from IHS Research estimates that the world market for video surveillance equipment will grow from US$13.5 billion in 2013 to $24 billion in 2018. Despite this growth, Niall Jenkins, Research Manager for Video Surveillance and Security Services at IHS Research, noted ▲ Niall Jenkins, Research Manager, that the network video surveillance Video Surveillance and Security market has become increasingly more Systems, IHS Research fragmented since 2003. “For example, in 2008 the top 10 suppliers of network cameras globally accounted for over 80 percent of market revenues. In 2013, the top 10 had an estimated 65 percent share,” said Jenkins. According to him, market consolidation is considered inevitable for fragmented markets.

However, Jenkins gave three reasons for why consolidation in the video surveillance industry may be slower than expected.

1.Highly fragmented market: The competitive market is so fragmented that one company would need to acquire multiple vendors to make a real dent in its shares.

2.Wide reaching channels: The channel consists of thousands of distributors and systems integrators that specialize in a core set of vendors and products, helping to maintain their margins and provide differentiation from competitors.

3.High growth rate: Double-digit growth rates and limited pricing pressure have made the video surveillance market attractive to both current players and new entrants.

So, what does this mean for smaller VMS vendors? “In general,
