Apple’s iPhone 6 was finally launched this September. Again, it caused great sensation around the globe. Besides the better looking design and other advanced functionalities, the iPhone 6 now has an NFC antenna in it, supporting payment via Apple Pay. And, in keeping with its previous feature, iPhone 6 also has a fingerprint scanner inside, which further helps with identity verification to secure the transaction. So far Apple still hasn’t opened up its APIs to other developers, and it is still hard to develop NFC-enabled devices for iPhones. However, through the launch of the latest iPhone and other smartphones, we can predict, in the near future, that NFC will surely become the next trend for many industries after Bluetooth technologies; again igniting the growth momentum of NFC used for physical access control, too. As the trend of online or mobile payment gains popularity and the industry starts to provide different methods to open and manage doors — instead of using traditional keys and cards only — the access control market has become more interesting and ready to grow and develop further. One issue the trend brings up is how to better manage and secure people’s identities in different occasions and for different purposes. This month, we discussed how and what companies are providing to manage and protect identities in the enterprise sector. Multifactor access control systems, with biometrics, combined with advanced encryption technologies, are what the industry mostly offers. However, the challenge right now is still low market awareness toward identity management and protection from end users. In the future, through the launch of more NFC-enabled smartphones and other devices, we hope identity management can be more greatly valued! Remember to check out this issue’s cover story for more information. Hope you enjoy it.

VIVOTEK Cameras Create a Secure Environment in Hotel Bania in Poland Located in Bialka Tatrzanska Mountain Resort in the central Tatra Mountain region, Bania Hotel is among the most luxurious hotels in Poland. An array of indoor and outdoor surveillance solutions is required throughout the complex. To satisfy the end user’s needs, features such as megapixel image quality, round-the-clock surveillance, intelligent IR illumination, and wide dynamic range (WDR) functionality are essential. Bania Hotel management chose VIVOTEK products, which provide optimal cost-to-performance ratio among numerous surveillance solutions available on the market. With the assistance of specialists from Suma, VIVOTEK’s key partner and distributor in Poland, a surveillance system was delivered, thus fulfilling the end user’s high expectations.

PSIA Achieved Milestones in PLAI Specification The Physical Security Interoperability Alliance (PSIA) announced it has achieved important new milestones within its physical logical access interoperability (PLAI) specification less than a year after forming a working group to develop it. PLAI is being designed to enable employee identities and roles defined or revoked in an authoritative logical identity system to automatically propagate to one or more PLAI-compliant physical access control systems (PACS). PLAI synchronizes physical and logical identity management and access control and standardizes functions that typically have required custom programming to achieve. PLAI now can accomplish the following: • Compatibility with PACS from multiple vendors; • Enable initial registration of an employee from an authoritative source (IT or HR logical directory) to the PACS; • Establish role-based privileges at the authoritative source and propagates this logical privilege data throughout multiple PACS; • Propagate the credential information (both in the form of cards or upcoming mobile credentials) of an employee from one PACS to others, thus supporting enhanced access control at multiple facilities; • Easily invoke and revoke physical access privileges in multiple PACS. PLAI asserts roles defined by an authoritative source (HR or IT) so these roles do not need to be redefined in the PACS. The use of a single authoritative source by multiple PLAI-enabled PACS ensures the validity and synchronization of an employee’s physical and logical identity data.

American Dynamics’ Integrated Security Solution Safeguards Atlanta School District American Dynamics, a Tyco Security Products brand, announced that Cherokee County School District (CCSD), located in the Atlanta metro area, has chosen its video security solutions to secure its schools and other facilities. One of the largest public school systems in the state of Georgia, CCSD encompasses 57 schools and other buildings, including 24 elementary schools, seven middle schools, seven high schools, three preschool centers, central offices, and warehouses, along with its 40,000 students and 4,500 staff. The school district needed a surveillance solution that would enable public safety staff to monitor both live and recorded video from its facilities. CCSD selected the hybrid recording platform from American Dynamics to allow the school district to upgrade and grow its surveillance security system gradually, without completely replacing its existing analog infrastructure. Tyco Integrated Security served as the systems integrator for this project. Once the installation is complete, CCSD will be able to employ more of the surveillance system’s features and capabilities for an integrated platform across all of the district’s facilities.

Extreme Networks and Axis Team Up to Secure the Little League World Series Extreme Networks teamed up with Axis Communications to provide the wired and wireless infrastructure needed to deliver complete video surveillance during the 2014 Little League Baseball World Series (LLWS). Together, the companies enhanced the overall security of players and fans alike. This year, Extreme Networks made its debut protecting the series joining Axis as it enters its fifth year. To secure 350,000 expected spectators during the 10 day event, Extreme Networks provided its gigabit Ethernet switches to form the backbone of the state-of-the-art security solution. Extreme Networks’ solutions complement the stadium’s access control network and connected more than 40 Axis IP digital video surveillance cameras throughout the complex. Extreme Networks’ switches promote deployment simplicity of the surveillance network due to software automation through the operating system, automating key configuration, and management policy settings across the infrastructure. The Extreme Networks’ switches boast enabled network convergence, high availability and resiliency, programmable extensibility, scalability for future network growth, comprehensive security features, and high performance, high bandwidth, and non-blocking architecture. New for the 2014 tournament, the LLWS deployed the advanced Axis’ pan/tilt/zoom cameras to manage crowd safety at the packed event. The cameras’ responsive performance and unique vantage point could help security staff to quickly scan crowds to locate lost children, track suspicious packages or vehicles, and zero into any area of concern with high detail. The Axis cameras’ open platform allows close integration with the Extreme Networks switches, and their Power-over-Ethernet capabilities assisted with the speedy installation of the wireless infrastructure required in temporary surveillance systems.

Fluidmesh Solutions Make a Splash at Magic Waters Waterpark Got Wi-Fi? That’s a question Magic Waters WaterPark, in Cherry Valley, Illinois, U.S., asked itself in response to growing consumer demand for public Wi-Fi accessibility. The award-winning attraction, which is managed by the Rockford Park District, is always a crowd pleasing destination so its desire to provide patrons with free Wi-Fi service was a perfect add-on to the park. James Shaw, Systems Administrator/Communications Specialist for Rockford Park District’s IT division, was tasked with leading the project. The objective, Shaw explained, was to create an additional network throughout the park as a back-up to their aging fiber network. The installation got underway after the waterpark closed for the 2013 season. The mesh network was completed in the fall of 2013, and was put into operation during the summer 2014 season. The network encompasses Fluidmesh1100 radios arranged in a ring formation throughout the water park with eight hop points. Each hop point also has an Aerohive AP connected only to the mesh network. Two Fluidmesh APs are configured as mesh-ends and both are located at the site’s main Cisco switch. Another virtual local area network (VLAN) was recently added to the mesh to provide wireless bridges to pump room chemical monitors, as well as to enable network access to maintenance buildings that were not previously hardwired with networking.

+ &RPHV 5RXQG WR WKH 0DUNHW Editor’s Note: Being the successor of H.264, the current standard compression format in the industry, H.265 plays a crucial part in supporting the 4K and 8K ultra-high definition (UHD) trend in the industry since it takes only half the bandwidth and storage. A few months ago, H.265 remained a myth with no one able to predict when it would be ready to go. Now, some companies, from chipset providers to video surveillance solution providers, have overcome the challenges and officially hit the road with H.265. This issue, the a&s editorial team features the latest offerings in NVRs and IP cameras.

High-definition images are delivered and no image pause occurs thanks to their ultra-low code rates. Low bandwidth is able to transmit HD videos as good as wide bandwidth. The latest coding technology enables the 7200 series H.265 HD IPC to provide users 300 percent free spaces for video footages; the 7200 series presents the same definition and recording duration as H.264 cameras, but occupies only one-third the recording consumption and footage space of normal cameras. 7200 series H.265 HD IP cameras have a low-light feature and are able to capture HD video under very weak light like moonlight.

In conjunction with the state-of-the-art advantages of HEVC, Aventura has added a litany of enhanced features which raise the bar to which the competition aspires. Aventura’s advanced imaging technology allows for minimizing compression in active areas within the scene and maximizing in peripheral areas where activity is low and/or insignificant. Decoded video can be produced with various frame rates, resolution, and quality. Aventura’s implementation of temporal and spatial scaling efficiencies is an extension of the native codec algorithm. Three unique transmissions provide for controlled access for a variety of network operating environments from LAN/WAN to mobile devices.

I THINK THE ACQUISITION GIVES US THE OPPORTUNITY TO PUT EVERYTHING TOGETHER AND PROVIDE OUR DEALERS, CUSTOMERS, AND INTEGRATORS WITH THE BEST-IN-CLASS SOLUTIONS. Bill Galvin, EVP, Enterprise Cabling & Security Solutions, Anixter International

O

ne of the predominant global distributors with footprints across the world, Anixter International is a publicly traded American company, valued upwards of US$6 billion. Now in over 50 countries around the world, dealing in local languages, local currencies, and local people, the company has a firm hold on many international locations. With several locations in China, Japan, Singapore, and Australia, “the APAC region is a growth market for Anixter’s security business,” said Bill Galvin, EVP of Enterprise Cabling & Security Solutions at Anixter. Even though it is a relative newcomer to the world of security, only entering the industry in 2000, the fact is Anixter has always had an interest in security while already solidified in multiple other markets. As Galvin explained, “Our interest began because the security business was going through a transformation, especially on the video side, where it was shifting toward IP video systems.” He also further elaborated, “We understood that there was a fundamental change happening in the security business, where a portion of the traditional analog market was moving to IP. Anixter was in a very good position to help customers with that transformation. So in 2000, we began building our security segment all the way up to an over $1.1 billion business today.”

$&48,6,7,216 %2267 $1,;7(5·6 67$786 As Galvin pointed out, Anixter’s strength has been in IP video. Growing up in the IP infrastructure timeline, he explained that with the acquisition of a company of Tri-Ed’s caliber, it will substantially enhance Anixter’s security business by opening up opportunities to have a presence across all the different markets in security and not just in IP. With the September 17 announcement of the closing of the deal, Anixter has now positioned

1(:6 )($785(

itself to further penetrate the security industry. “I think this will address one of the hurdles, which is covering the security market more broadly. I think the acquisition will really give us full capabilities across both analog and IP,� said Galvin. “With the acquisition of Tri-Ed, we can say we’re truly a full-line security distributor.� Expanding on the acquisition of Tri-Ed, Galvin explained that the first step is to integrate the two companies to provide the best solutions for customers. Tri-Ed has a very strong, established position in the mid-market, with over 20,000 integrators and dealers, and it serves customers across a broad range of markets. From residential to the mid-market to large complex security systems, Tri-Ed has a firm grasp on the SMB sector in North America. “I think

that by combining what Tri-Ed is able to do now, with Anixter’s global IP security focused business, we create a platform to add greater value to our customers,� he said. A FULL LINE OF SOLUTIONS

Galvin also brought up the point of Anixter’s other acquisition in 2010: CLARK Security Products, whose strength is focused on access control and door locking hardware systems. Alongside Tri-Ed’s expanded security products such as analog video, intrusion detection, and fire/burglary, Anixter now possesses a full line of security solutions where, as he put it, “It’s very complementary. As we know, security is a massive market that’s also very fragmented, and as we put all these together, we strongly feel like there’s a really good opportunity to address all of

our customers’ needs in security, across an entire broad line.� On top of that, Anixter not only acquires Tri-Ed’s expertise and product line, but also its customer base, further invigorating the company’s existing markets and expanding into other vertical sectors. “Anixter has very little residential play today, but we think Tri-Ed’s position in it can help us understand the markets that we can bring all of our expertise and infrastructure into,� Galvin said. “I think this gives us the capability not only across video, but also across fire and burglary, intrusion, access control, and door entry. I think our opportunity is there to put all that together and provide our dealers, customers, and integrators with best-inclass solutions. It will help them further address the market and simplify service to their own customers.�

Identity management has become an increasingly important method of protecting assets, data, and premises by organizations, many of which have thousands of workers on their payroll. Making matters worse, these workers include not only full-time employees but temp workers and contractors as well. Determining whether these people are who they say they are and allowing them access to critical areas or secure networks has become a major focus for end users, who can be aided by advanced technologies such as multifactor authentication.

Each level of identity verification adds a further layer of protection. Strong authentication technology significantly strengthens the fabric of the layered security.

dentity management is a growing sector. A recent Research and Markets report indicated that the industry stood at a size of US$5.1 billion in 2013 and is expected to hit $10.4 billion in 2018, translating into a compound annual growth rate of 15.1 percent. Growth is driven by strong demand from organizations seeking to protect premises and sensitive data from intruders. Being able to identify people accurately is critical, especially for large enterprises that maintain thousands, if not tens of thousands, of workers around the globe. Further, the roles assumed by workers have become more diverse. For enterprises nowadays, staff does not just include full-time employees but also part-time workers, temp workers, and contractors. The need to effectively manage these workers and grant them access to company premises or data has therefore spawned advanced management solutions. “The process of managing identities and authorizations should be straightforward and user-friendly in order to manage many different identities quickly, while at the same time decreasing the chance that human mistakes occur,” said Arjan Bouter, Head of Sales at Nedap Security Management. “If you use temporary staff to make the most of seasonal peaks, you set (the system) so they’re only authorized to access your production facility for a specific period. When this period ends, their access rights are withdrawn automatically.”

Good identity management solutions benefit different verticals in a variety of ways.

352'8&7 (;3/25$7,21 Another huge problem facing healthcare operators is the theft of patients’ medical data. “There have been a number of breaches in recent years that have compromised millions of private patient medical records. Username and password are not enough to protect these highly sensitive documents, and a stronger form of authentication is necessary,� said Jennifer Dean, Identity and Access Marketing Communication Manager at Gemalto. “As regulatory requirements become more stringent by the day, hospital and medical office administrators are under increasing pressure to maintain data integrity and protect patient records. There is a real need for a standardized identification system that integrates physical and logical access — a solution that is secure and auditable, but that’s still easy to deploy and convenient for users.� An emerging approach to integrate physical and logical access uses the NFC technology, which enables users to carry a smart card or smartphone with an authentication credential stored on the device’s secure element (SE) or SIM chip. “With these mobile soft tokens, users can simply ‘tap in’ to hospital facilities, VPNs, wireless networks, and cloud- and web-based applications,� said Jordan Cullis,

s oil exploration moves to new regions across the world, so does the need for better monitoring of remote facilities, increased protection against terror threats, and pipeline and leak detection monitoring solutions. Exploration and drilling security systems will be the largest segment in terms of spending and adoption followed by refineries and storage facilities. According to research by Frost and Sullivan, the global oil and gas infrastructure security market was estimated at US$19.6 billion in 2013 and will grow to $24.7 billion by 2021. Including network and cyber security, the combined oil and gas security market will reach $30 billion by 2018.

Any damage to an oil and gas facility has grave consequences. Incidents have implications on employee safety, environmental damage, cleaning costs, damage penalties, equipment replacement, and the list goes on and on. This becomes even more challenging when considering the nature of these installations. There are hundreds of potential breach points for leaks and damages: numerous valves and pumps, meters upon meters of pipes. Even within the facility, environments are not the same. A refinery for example will include various types of oil, transported at different temperatures and pressures, from ambient temperatures and pressure up to 130 bars at 100°C.

The overarching view in the security industry right now is that IP, which employs a network infrastructure and offers HD video, will one day replace analog solutions, which have defined video surveillance for half a century. For analog players, who are seeing declines in sales and revenue, they must find ways to regain their former dominance in the industry. HD-overcoaxial solutions, which deliver HD video over users’ existing coaxial cabling, represent their ultimate battle for survival amidst the IP invasion.

ver since 960H and HD-SDI emerged in 2011, video surveillance players have been trying to find solutions that enhance the quality of CCTV, which remains the mainstream surveillance technology. Analog cameras are inexpensive and easy to install, and

they still dominate the market with 70 to 80 percent of market share. However, IP cameras are threatening the very existence of analog players, who are seeing a steady revenue decline. Against this backdrop, analog players seeking to survive have put intensive efforts into the R&D of

high-resolution HD-over-coaxial solutions. HDCVI, HDTVI, ccHDtv, and AHD are the products of those efforts. Any HD-over-coaxial solution, be it 960H, HD-SDI, HDCVI, HDTVI, AHD, and ccHDtv, must be easy to use over the end user’s legacy coaxial cable. HD transmission

should be achieved using 5C-2V (RG-59U) or 3C-2V (RG-6) coaxial cable without quality loss, and the traditional distance barrier of 100 to 200 meters must be overcome. The solution must incur no extra cost for installation or upgrade, resist quality loss over a long distance, and enable easy upgrade to megapixel-level HD surveillance. Further, it must be high in quality and competitive in price to gain a stronger foothold in vertical markets. In summary, for a solution to be called HD-over-coaxial, six basic requirements must be met: It must have high video clarity and color separation, as well as high signal filtering, noise reduction, and image restoration capabilities; As HD-over-coax is claimed as a breakthrough technology, it must be able to transmit signals for a longer distance over existing coaxial cable; The solution must not be subject to latency, compression-related quality loss, or any compromise to video quality;

The backend equipment must be compatible with the 960H format, and future compatibility with analog splitters and matrix systems must be considered; HD-over-coax must be easy to use and operate and allow settings on both frontend and backend equipment; Any solution must have low cost and high quality. There are HD-over-coaxial DVRs that can support both 960H and 720/1080p. These are called hybrid HD DVRs. There are even HD DVRs that are bolstered by Intersil’s decoder chip and the TCP/IP interface to support 960H, 720p/1080p, and IP signals. These are called Tri-brid HD DVRs.

&203$5( $1' &2175$67 %(7:((1 62/87,216 HDCVI, HDTVI, and AHD share one thing in common: as opposed to 960H that uses the CCD sensor, HDCVI, HDTVI, and AHD use the megapixel-level CMOS or

Exmor CMOS sensor. The purpose is to capture HD images at the source level. Among manufacturers of CMOS sensors are Sony, Omnivision, Pixelplus, and BYD. The formation of images differs slightly according to brand. Another similarity as far as components are concerned is the use of an image signal processor (ISP) in conjunction with the sensor. This device ultimately determines the final image displayed by HDCVI, HDTVI, and AHD solutions. The chipset could be integrated into the sensor module or into the transceiver at the backend of the HDCVI, HDTVI, or AHD camera. Image signal processors, whose manufacturers include Sony, Fullhan, Nextchip, and Eyenix, process and enhance images formed by the sensor. As ISPs of different companies are designed differently, they have different ways of handling backlight compensation, WDR noise reduction, and the 3As, namely auto white balance, auto exposure, and auto focus.
