While most of the companies that we spoke with showed some concerns about the issue, they emphasized that regardless the outcome, the demand for security would always be there. “The need for security is not driven by whether we are in the EU or not in the EU,â€? said Billy Hopkins, Technical Manager at IDIS Europe. “We’ve always had terrorist threats since the 70s, which is why we’ve got more ANPR (automatic numeric plate recognition) in this country than anyone else.

restrictions over the movement of people resulting from Brexit may become an issue. “We do have a UK skills shortage across engineering, sales, marketing ‌ every discipline you can imagine. So if we don’t have free movement of people across Europe, that means we can’t be here in U.K. and hire someone, say, from Spain. It wouldn’t be impossible of course, but all the processes to do that have to be figured out in the medium to longer term,â€? Hopkins said. Trade emerges as another possible Brexit impact that might affect security companies. “One offshoot of Brexit that may happen is now you have to redo all the trade agreements between the EU and the U.K. This all leans towards more potential trade protectionism, not lower barriers,â€? said Joseph Grillo, CEO of Vanderbilt International. “I think lower barriers are best overall.â€? “If you are a U.K.-based company exporting to Europe, then of course I would suspect that would be a challenge for companies from an administration perspective,â€? said Atul Rajput, Regional Director for Northern Europe at Axis Communications. However, these companies maintain that they have operations internationally and would survive the impact of tariffs or other trade barriers even if they were put in place. “From Axis’s perspective we have offices all over Europe. The Axis UK office does not export into Europe; we are primarily focused on serving our local market. In that way Axis as a company can minimize any risks that may surface,â€? Rajput said. “We have offices in France, Italy, Spain and Germany, among others, and the distributors that we work with procure directly from our headquarters in Sweden who ship to individual countries.â€? “We operate our business throughout Europe. We sell in several different currencies. A lot of our manufacturing is in Asia, the Nordic region and Eastern Europe,â€? Grillo said. “We almost have natural currency hedging that happens, because we’re buying in different currencies and selling in seven or eight currencies. So I don’t see any big impact on us.â€?

as people take a wait-and-see attitude on whether to continue investing in the U.K. or worse, relocate their headquarters to another country. Already, Vodafone has warned it could move its headquarters from the U.K., citing it was important to retain access to the EU’s free “movement of people, capital and goods,” BBC reported. Banks are also considering what they should do next. The Times cited a high-level Goldman Sachs executive as saying the company wouldn’t rule out moving some or all of the bank’s 6,500 UK staff members to Europe. While banks are in the financial industry, they are among the heaviest users of security. In a recent study, IHS expressed the view that a lack of business confidence is expected to hurt security in the long term. “If formal proceedings to leave the EU are started by the U.K., it would become more certain that the security equipment market will suffer,” the paper said. “This would begin in 2018 with effects from slowing investment and the lack of new construction projects. Access control, intruder and fire alarm markets typically track construction rates closely and are forecast to be affected most by this trend. However, a large cut to infrastructure spending would be just as damaging for the video surveillance market.” Those views coincided with the sentiment expressed by the security players themselves. ”The biggest challenge will be market uncertainty which a vote to leave would create, as the one thing markets value above all else is stability, which gives companies the confidence to invest,” Rajput said. “Business hates uncertainly. People hold investment back to wait to see what happens. Even if there are people who are going to invest in new equipment and new systems, they might hold back until they see what happens,” said Alastair McLeod, CEO of Veracity. “Now that Britain has voted to leave the EU, we have another three or four

years of uncertainty until everything is worked out and settles down again.” “I don’t think there will be any impact directly on the decision to fit security equipment; the impact will be on general business confidence,” said Andrew Pigram, Managing Director for U.K. at Bosch Security Systems. “It means whether people will invest in new buildings, whether we decide we need more schools or less schools, whether we think the economy will go down or up … security gets put in when the economy is moving. If the economy slows, security will slow probably.” In spite of the uncertainty, most companies held the attitude that the people have made a decision, and the companies have no choice but to press forward. Managing the risk effectively — that’s the consensus reached by most of the interviewees that we spoke with.

n June 12, 2016, forty-nine people at a nightclub in Orlando, Florida were shot dead by a 29 year old. Fifty-three people were wounded in the attack, while the attacker himself was shot dead by the police after a three-hour standoff. In July, another shooting incident took place at a nightclub in the same state, resulting in the death of two and injuries to 16 people. These incidents captured the attention of the media and observers around the globe, and much debate has ensued on the motive of the killer and concerns on the increasing numbers of attacks on civilians.

Perhaps something that did not get as much attention as it deserved was the subject of what nightclubs should do to improve the safety of their customers. Nightclubs are soft targets for terrorist attacks due to the large numbers of people gathering there and the informal atmosphere it encourages. To many experts, security should start with the right planning. Bryan Strawser, Principal Consultant and CEO at Bryghtpath pointed out that in many nightclubs security and staffing are taken very lightly. “In many situations involving nightclubs and bars, security design and staffing is often an afterthought rather than being an integral part of the business,� Strawser said. “Often, security staffing is inadequate for crowd and overall threat profile of the business. Businesses could rectify this by fully evaluating their risks and building a security program that is centered on mitigating and responding to their identified risks.� Others focus on the quality of the nightclub staff. Tommy Burns, President of Burns & Associates, suggested that what is currently lacking in this segment is training. “[The main issues currently] are a lack of training for the staff, and lack of policies and procedures, lack of post-orders, as in the things that they are supposed to do,� Burns said. But providing security to nightclubs is not as easy as with other businesses. There are certain specific challenges that come with the inherent nature of nightclub operation and these pose significant risks of leaving gaps in the security structure.

is the first challenge to making the place secure. But then, that’s the nature of the business and an inevitable hurdle that has to be worked around. Complicating things further are the large numbers of people that throng these places. But perhaps the biggest challenge of all is the low light conditions that nightclubs operate under. “Bars and nightclubs are difficult to secure because of the presence of alcohol, large crowds, minimal security staffing and the general lighting environment,” Strawser said. “Often these businesses are dimly lit, have dance/strobe lights and loud music, making it both difficult to see criminal activity and recognize an attack when it does happen. Bars and nightclubs can better protect themselves by hiring adequate staff, carefully evaluating their risks and adopting security measures appropriate to their identified risks.” Burns too noted that the challenges include providing a safe environment while keeping it open. Customers might not like their bags being checked, being subjected to metal detection checks, or even a TSA-style frisking. Nightclub owners, on their part, would be wary of scaring away their customers with these kind of checks which are actually necessary. The challenge then, is to strike a balance and ensure that the security remains tight while customers go through as less hassles as possible.

35$&7,&$/ 62/87,216 Asked about the ideal, practical solution for nightclub security, Burns elaborated on his previous point that the major inadequacy is lack of trained staff. “[Nightclubs need] an ample amount of security personnel that’s trained,” said Burns. “The most practical security solution for a nightclub includes a fully trained security staff.”

Strawser gave a broader view, indicating that a security plan should be put in place after careful consideration of all the variables involved. “As in any business, we strongly recommend evaluating all risks that could impact a business and then adopting security measures to mitigate or eliminate those risks,” Strawser said. “For example, having a strong, professional security force at the entrance to a club with effective security screening such as magnetometers and bag checks can help deter criminal activity involving weapons and other contraband.”

mong the more high-profile M&A deals in the security industry of recent were Hikvision Digital Technology’s purchase of Pyronix, Axis Communications’ purchases of 2N and Cognimatics, and FLIR Systems’ purchase of DVTel.

+,.9,6,21 3<521,; '($/ 0$.(6 ¡3(5)(&7 6(16(¡ The Pyronix deal, announced in May, was the first overseas purchase of a company by Hikvision, the world’s second largest security player which has already acquired numerous firms in its home base of China. Now, with Pyronix, Hikvision has acquired a technology partner that has both the technology and the knowledge about the EMEA (Europe, Middle East and Africa) market. “We’ve been partners with Pyronix for some time. Their products are very competitive. Due to our collaboration and common vision, we believe this is a good opportunity for us to expand,â€? said Keen Yao, VP of International Business Center at Hikvision Digital Technology. “Pyronix operates primarily in Europe and is a leader in the intruder alarm field. Since one of our business acquisition objectives is to increase our global

presence, acquiring Pyronix makes perfect sense for us.” Pyronix holds the same favorable view toward the acquisition, saying it is beneficial especially from a technology point of view. Valeri Filianov, EMEA Sales Director at Pyronix, said that the acquisition would expedite the introduction of video-intruder alarmintegrated solutions that the EMEA market is looking for. “When you have an alarm system and a video system, the integration means when one particular alarm event happens, the video has to do something, and vice versa,” said Filianov. “In order to achieve that, Hikvision is already investing into the Pyronix R&D, bringing more development resources so that we can accelerate our product development process including a full integration between our intrusion and video products. Hikvision has great knowledge in R&D and big financial capacity to do so, while Pyronix has the understanding of the market and the intruder technology knowhow.”

$;,6·6 %$&. 72 %$&. $&48,6,7,216 Speaking of integrated solutions, a recent acquisition by Axis Communications also reflects this trend. In June, the IP video giant announced the purchase of Cognimatics, a leader in people counting technology that is needed by retailers for business enablement. “We’ve seen a significant increase in demand from customers for retail solutions. While loss prevention is still the main driver, we have seen a rapid increase in deployments of business intelligence application through using analytics,” said Atul Rajput, Regional Director for Northern Europe at Axis Communications. “The acquisition of Cognimatics, one of the market leaders in their field for store optimization solutions, allows Axis Communications to leverage their best-of-breed technologies they’ve built up over 13 years and to be faster to market in terms of the solutions our customers are demanding today.”

Rajput also dispelled concerns that because of the deal Axis would favor Cognimatics over other VCA technology partners. “The retail landscape for store optimization is a very diverse area and there are a plethora of different analytic solutions available based on your particular business need. Each customer has unique requirements, and the thing with deploying a suite of analytics is it’s not a one-stop solution. There are different requirements, and therefore the complexity of the analytics means you need to have a broader selection of companies that can also offer customization,” he said. “Cognimatics meets several requirements today, but there are other analytics such as queue counting and POS integration, so it is important to have a range of best-of-breed solutions available allowing our customer freedom of choice. We’ve made it clear since the acquisition that we have over 1,400 partners in different technologies, and that best of breed still remains an important party of our strategy.” Another Axis acquisition that caught the attention of the industry was its purchase of Czech Republic-based 2N, a company that Rajput said shares a common vision with Axis and can help the company broaden its IP offerings. “Axis has had a vision for over 20 years of connecting disparate devices to intelligent networks, effectively what we know today as the Internet of Things, and in our industry we see more and more technologies converging over IP. As a respected and established company, 2N, who is a market leader in IP intercoms, a technology Axis do not sell today, seems a natural complement to our array of security solutions and consistent with the vision we have had for many years,” he said. “Axis sells IP door stations today, so one of the benefits is sharing technology expertise. So mutually we can help each other to improve our roadmap of products together.”

)/,5 $,0,1* )25 (1' 72 (1' 62/87,216 Finally, FLIR Systems gained a lot of publicity when it purchased DVTEL at the end of last year. The rationale was pretty clear. The company has already built up a reputation as the leader in thermal imaging, with last year’s revenue standing at US$1.6 billion. But to get from there to “$5 billion,” the company needs to go beyond thermal and reach more segments of the market with a more diverse portfolio. “If you look at the market for thermal imaging, we’ve got maybe a 70 percent market share in Europe. So where do we go from there? We can grow, but it needs a change of business, and the way FLIR would change its business is look into end-to-end solutions, fish in the ocean, not pond,” said David Montague, Sales Director for EMEA at FLIR Systems. DVTEL, based in Ridgefield Park, N.J., offers video management systems, advanced video analytics software, visible and thermal security cameras and related servers and encoders. The combination allows FLIR to offer end-to-end solutions that Montague said carry various advantages. “The benefit first of all for distributors is that we offer quite a unique proposition for them to invest in. We’ve got the analytics, PSIM and everything … the whole package that we can offer as a good solution. The benefit to the distributor is exactly that,” he said. “The advantage to the integrator and end user is that you go to one person. If you get a problem onsite, you are not saying onsite this FLIR guy is here to look into the product, the image looks good, but it’s not working with the analytics, and the analytic is someone else. What you got now is a complete solution, one person for example going onsite and he’s responsible for the whole CCTV, so you can always refer back to the person.” In summary, the consolidation trend in the security industry has been going on for some time and is showing no signs of stopping. The companies that we spoke with engaged in acquisitions to diversify their product offerings, meet demands for more integrated solutions, and build a stronger presence in a particular region. Given the synergy and positive effects that come out of these acquisition deals, it is expected we’ll only see more of them in security in the near future.

erimeter security is made up of many different parts. Fences and gates provide barriers, and video surveillance cameras can help monitor a perimeter. However, the use of different types of sensors, from fence sensors to buried sensors to motion sensors, plays a vital role in the effectiveness of a perimeter intrusion detection system (PIDS).

THE USE OF DIFFERENT TYPES OF SENSORS, FROM FENCE SENSORS TO BURIED SENSORS TO MOTION SENSORS, PLAYS A VITAL ROLE IN THE EFFECTIVENESS OF A PERIMETER INTRUSION DETECTION SYSTEM (PIDS).

Based on figures from a report by MarketsandMarkets, the overall global perimeter security market is expected to grow from approximately US$14 billion in 2015 to US$20.3 billion by 2020, at a CAGR of 7.6 percent — this includes technologies, such as microwave sensors, infrared sensors, radar sensors and fiber-optic sensors. Knowing what type of sensor to deploy based on specific needs is the key to maximizing a PIDS’ effectiveness. Understanding the challenges, requirements and newest trends in sensor technology could all help ensure that the right sensors are being used.

&+$//(1*(6 ,1 '(3/2<,1* 6(16,1* 7(&+12/2*,(6 Every technology has its challenges when it comes to deployment. The challenges of deploying perimeter sensing technology depend on the application and requirements. “One of the key challenges in deploying perimeter sensing technology is ensuring that the appropriate detection solutions are specified for a particular application,� said Maira Zanrosso, Director of Sales and Marketing at Southwest Microwave. Ensuring uniform detection sensitivity along the entire protected perimeter is another challenge of deploying perimeter sensing technology. “Variations in fence fabric or tension can affect the detection performance of certain fence detection systems. Variations in ground material or soil conductivity can affect the detection performance of certain buried cable solutions,� Zanrosso added. To combat this issue, Southwest Microwave offers Sensitivity Leveling, a proprietary technology. The technology is a proprietary calibration process that compensates for environmental variations to ensure uniform detection sensitivity along the protected area. One of the biggest challenges, however, is false alarms and how to reduce such alarms from occurring. “If a user’s system triggers false alarms often, then they may end up abandoning it altogether — and it’s unlikely their neighbors will respond or want to invest in such a system either!� said Farshid Ossareh, Product Line Leader at Honeywell Security and Fire. For example, homeowners that have pets might need to invest in more

advanced sensors that can differentiate small animals from human intruders so that their pets aren’t constantly triggering false alarms. As a result, false activations have been the main driver in PIR sensor development due to the risk of damaging the end user’s confidence in his security system. Jeremy Weese, COO of Senstar also addressed the challenge of minimizing false activations, or nuisance alarm rates. “Sensing technology has to be able to distinguish between real intrusions, and disturbances caused by environmental conditions such as wind, rain and snow.” Another challenge Weese noted was being able to secure gates effectively. “While sensing cable can be easily installed on fences, it can be quite cumbersome to use on swinging or sliding gates.” Many companies have developed a way to deal with nuisance alarms. For example, Honeywell’s outdoor PIRs offer curtain detection, which could help minimize the risk of false activations. Senstar equips many of its sensors with environmentally derived adaptive processing technology (EDAPT), which helps mitigate the effect of environmental changes such as wind and heavy rain. Southwest Microwave employs a proprietary technology called Point Impact Discrimination, which can identify localized attempts to cut or climb a fence, while ignoring distributed fence noise generated by wind, rain or vehicle traffic. Another way companies are meeting these challenges is by integrating cameras with sensors for video verification. In fact, in March of this year, Honeywell acquired

urope stands out as an exceptional case study in regard to tunnel security. Tunnel security in Europe has been greatly promoted through EU regulation, specifically EU directive 2004/54, which required the risk assessment of all tunnels and, depending on the outcome, required them to be refurbished or sometimes also to be extended, for example, with extra rescue tubes. “The need to retrofit tunnels was one of the major market drivers in the tunnel industry. The lifetime of tunnels is typically several decades. However, as the equipment inside a tunnel becomes more and more based on electronics, the lifetime of typical electronic components is also reduced. The average periods for refurbishing tunnels with electrical equipment have been reduced in recent years from around 20 years to around 15 years,� explained Christoph Seewald, Head of Industry Management Transport Logistics for German sensor manufacturer SICK.

of 500 meters to ensure automatic incident detection. “This means that video surveillance cameras with built-in video analytics, like intelligent video analytics, will slowly become commonplace in future tunnel design, since these intelligent techniques are a necessity to potentially prevent or at least limit the impact of tunnel incidents,� explained Szymon Chlebowski, Solution Consultant of Business Development EMEA in Bosch Security Systems. A comprehensive solution typically consist of several security and safety domains, like for example, fire detection, public address and evacuation, and video systems. “All monitoring solutions are firstly installed to detect disruptions that may cause accidents as early as possible. Secondly, in case of an incident, solutions for public address and evacuation have to be in place to safely guide people out of a hazardous situation,� he added.

The limited lighting options inside the tunnel poses as a challenge. To counter it, manufacturers use low light cameras and high dynamic ranges which can help counter the differences in lighting between the tunnel itself and its portals. Jenoptik, for example, deployed “Robot Black Flash� technology in two long Thuringian tunnels on German highways 4 and 71. Both tunnels require specific flash technology to ensure that drivers are not blinded by the flash. For that purpose, an infrared flash was developed which is almost invisible to the human eye and thus, cannot blind drivers, but nonetheless enables high-resolution image quality for the correct recognition of drivers and license plates. One of the challenges in tunnels is the large amount of environmental noise. This includes lighting changes, shadows, highlights and reflections. The video software must understand these types of noise and ignore them. “A second challenge with tunnels is low ceiling heights and constrained space, which result in camera mounting locations with very low look angles but views

which can reach to several hundred meters. At long distances and low look angles, cars appear to be merged and overlapped. The camera does not get to see the entire car until it is very close. Understanding the separation of vehicles in this situation is a challenging problem. At PureTech, we address this with the use of geo-referenced video. This provides us location, real size and speed information, which in turn, enables our software to recognize individual cars, versus something that looks more like a continuous train,� explained Larry Bowe, President and CEO of analytics provider PureTech Systems. Other companies also employ the concept of pinpointing the exact location of vehicles inside the tunnel and its portals using other sensors, and not just video. Radar is used to detect vehicles regardless of weather or lighting conditions, and laser sensors are used inside the tunnel. The position coordinates of any found object are then usually transferred to a camera system to align the orientation of the camera towards the detected object.

ndustrial cameras are generally small and compact, capable of capturing high-resolution images. However, they are also highly specialized and an important component of machine vision systems and automated production. “Throughout all steps of manufacturing, from inspection of raw materials and production monitoring (i.e., flaw detection) to final inspections and quality assurance, they [industrial cameras] are an indispensable part of achieving top efficiency and strict Eva Tischendorf, Team Leader, quality standards,� according to a white paper by Basler. Communications, Basler A market research report from MarketsandMarkets reported that the overall machine vision market is expected to grow from US$8.1 billion in 2015 to $12.5 billion by 2020, at a CAGR of 9.1 percent during the forecast period. The machine vision camera market alone reached $1.3 billion in 2015 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 8.3 percent during the period 2016 to 2021, according to a report by IndustryArc. But what is it that makes an industrial camera better for machine vision applications, and why can’t video surveillance cameras be used in the same way? We spoke to Eva Tischendorf, Team Leader of Communications at Basler to find out.

*(1(5$/ 63(&6 )25 ,1'8675,$/ &$0(5$6 Industrial cameras generally consist of two basic components — the image sensor

and the digital data transmission interface. However, these are not the only two things to consider. In fact, determining the aforementioned is only the beginning. “The first question is whether one needs an area scan camera or a line scan camera and if it needs to be monochrome or color,” Tischendorf said. “Users then need to decide on the resolution (MP), speed (fps), sensor technology (CCD or CMOS), sensor technique (rolling or global shutter), the interface (USB 3.0, GigE or CameraLink), the housing, and which features the cameras should have.” Is the camera being used on a fast-moving production line where the objects being scanned are in constant motion? If yes, a line camera would be the better option. Will the object on the line make a stop at any point during production? If yes, an area camera could suffice. But what about the resolution and fps? While different needs will yield different requirements, some experts believe that industrial cameras should have at least a video format of more than 640 x 480 pixel resolution at 30 fps. When comparing sensor technology, the trend is heading toward CMOS being the future. Sony, the world’s largest CCD sensor maker announced last year that it will stop manufacturing CCDs in 2017 and focus on CMOS technology. That does not mean, however, that CCDs are outdated. Depending on the application or need, CCDs could be the better option. The question of interface is another that offers many different choices. Deciding which to use means considering the bandwidth requirements of the application.

,1'8675,$/ &$0(5$6 96 6859(,//$1&( &$0(5$6 Although some manufacturers produce both industrial cameras for machine vision systems and video surveillance cameras, they are not interchangeable. “Industrial cameras send the images as uncompressed (’raw’) data directly to the PC. The PC is then responsible for processing the relatively large volume of data,” Tischendorf explained. “The big benefit of this method is that no image information is lost. This is crucial for a variety of industrial applications, in the medical and life sciences, or in traffic and transportations.” On the other hand IP cameras, which are typically used in surveillance applications or in combination with industrial cameras, record videos (e.g., MPEG-4, MJPEG or H.264) and are placed with a robust housing to be resistant to jolts and harsh weather, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications. Additionally, IP cameras have been engineered to deliver excellent image quality even under extremely poor lighting and weather conditions. “Network cameras acquire the images and compress them,” she said. “This reduces the volume of data to such a degree that it can be stored in the camera. By connecting to a network, a theoretically unlimited number of users can also access the camera.”

Another major difference between these two types of cameras is who controls and uses them. Video surveillance cameras are typically managed and controlled by security professionals. In contrast, since attention to detail is a vital role of industrial cameras, machines are tasked with these jobs.

+2: 7+(< $5( 86(' A machine vision system and industrial cameras could be deployed in any number of applications, ranging from manufacturing to medicine to traffic monitoring even to security. One application in which industrial cameras play a particularly important role in is the optimization and automatic monitoring of production processes, according to Tischendorf. “Industrial cameras are tasked with gathering, storing and archiving important information so that users or software can make decisions that would be unfeasible without that visual data.”

THE MACHINE VISION CAMERA MARKET ALONE REACHED US$1.3 BILLION IN 2015 AND IS EXPECTED TO GROW AT A CAGR OF 8.3 PERCENT DURING THE PERIOD 2016 TO 2021, ACCORDING TO A REPORT BY INDUSTRYARC. 63

The annual WWDC conference in June was not short on flair and amboyance, as Apple made a big splash with the introduction of iOS 10, a new operating system due for release in fall of this year. But for anyone in the connected home business, the head turner must have been the announcement of “Home,â€? an aptly named app that Apple chose to rekindle its romance with HomeKit — a moniker that was close to be forgotten along the likes of Amazon Home, Google Now and many more. “After the long-awaited anticipation Apple at least mentions HomeKit again and did something about it,â€? Z-Wave Europe CEO Christian Paetz said. Many believe that the announcement of Home is a positive step for Apple, because there is ďŹ nally a centralized app that can manage the IoT devices comprising the HomeKit ecosystem. Prior to Home, users would need to download third-party apps in order to control their devices. In short, this very long awaited release may gain traction in the smart home market.
