EDITOR’S NOTE
Video Surveillance Market Evolves, While Access Control Stays Profitable
L
ast month, I sat down with several major companies at a security show in Essen, Germany, to discuss the current security industry as well as future opportunities and challenges that the industry might face. Even though the German market possesses unique characteristics and domestic brands, compared to other brands, are much stronger in this local market, German industry trends still reflect the status quo of the global industry. The video surveillance industry is restructuring to quickly respond to the current price competition issue in the global market. M&A activities remain quite active and frequent in 2016. In the video surveillance market, most of the deals are related to technological acquisitions or acquisition of financial support. Some companies worked on developing new offerings – complete video surveillance solutions or total solutions for video surveillance, access control and alarm. Some companies branched out to non-security fields to explore more opportunities. In general, the video surveillance industry is transforming; companies are seeking good business models to sustain themselves in security and also other industries. In the past, we saw how new technology, IP/network, brought new changes to the industry. Now, we are seeing how price competition had pushed the companies to evolve and find a new way out. In the near future, we will probably see a small group of companies dominate the global market, especially when it comes to mass production, the distribution market for small and medium-sized enterprises.Contrary to this, the other group of companies is focused on building brand value and strengthening customer support and relationships, and will stay in top-end markets, which usually involve some critical applications that require niche solutions and technologies. While video surveillance continues to find new strength for the future, the access control market remains much stronger, as companies have been able to manage business sustainability since the inception of the market. Originally, the access control market was much more fragmented, as compared with video surveillance. Only a few companies were able to establish an international presence and M&As were common methods for them to expand their overseas market share. Due to geographical limitation, the access control market was able to maintain its original industry landscape. The security market is going to experience a dramatic change, especially in the video surveillance sector, starting from the developed countries and then the developing countries. All the companies in this industry might need to be well prepared for what is coming next.

For its class attendance automation system, the Hult International Business School in Dubai, U.A.E., selected the 3D touchless technology by Touchless Biometric Systems (TBS). The TBS 3D-Terminal is a three-dimensional, contactfree fingerprint sensor that utilizes three integrated cameras for its scanning process. Particularly designed for high security and large user groups, it can be used with the TBS BioManager software or integrated into any existing security software. For the project, the Hult team developed a wirelessly connected kiosk
placed at the entrance of each classroom, ensuring that all students sign in, even if they arrive late. The installation on the Dubai campus served as a persuasive example for Hult’s other locations. Expansions to their London, Boston and San Francisco school sites are already underway and will be connected to a London-based main server, maintaining and synchronizing the worldwide data in real time. Hult’s new attendance automation system can be extended to any additional location anywhere in the world at any time.
traffic laws. The implemented surveillance system throughout the entire city included savVi, Agent Vi’s unified video analytics software, network cameras from Axis Communications and video management platform from Genetec. Of the 225 cameras deployed at critical intersections and traffic points around Zagreb, 86 cameras have been enabled with savVi’s real-time event detection capabilities and configured with the “Stopped Vehicle” rule. When savVi detects that a vehicle is parked illegally or stopped in an unauthorized zone, an automatic alarm is
sent in real time to Zagreb’s supervising center through Genetec’s Security Center. The traffic supervisor then issues a misdemeanor warrant or further escalates the offense. This allowed the city to respond in real time to any parking violation, including violations of short periods of time. The system, coupled with the integration with the municipality’s ERP system and national car registry database, enabled the city of Zagreb to capitalize on its surveillance system investment, while increasing road safety.

HIKVISION CHOSEN FOR US CAMPUS UPGRADE Hikvision Digital Technology USA has provided Becker Public Schools in Minnesota, U.S., with a multi-step security upgrade to protect its students, staff and facilities. The first stage of execution improved visibility around exterior entries. The second stage saw upgrades to interior areas with IP cameras and expanded coverage of hallways and rooms. Challenges to this project included finding cameras that were both durable and unobtrusive, selecting vandal-resistant products for outdoor areas, and securing zero-light areas at night with infrared cameras. Hikvision’s DarkFighter line of PTZ cameras were installed in key outdoor areas where evening lighting was an issue but color video was desired. 1080p PTZ cameras were employed to cover the parking lots due to its color lux rating of 0.002 and built-in tour and auto tracking features. In the end, Hikvision’s extensive product line provided a full range of network cameras that suited the administration’s requirements. On top of that, the products also met budget requirements — a crucial piece of the puzzle for most schools and school districts.

MILESTONE ENHANCES SAFETY FOR US SCHOOL DISTRICT
The Topeka school district in the U.S. once relied on analog security systems to cover a few of its 40 school campuses and facilities. These systems were not connected and produced poor image quality. Milestone Systems’ XProtect Corporate management software was chosen to serve as the video surveillance and integration platform for the security upgrade, along with 150 Axis Communications network cameras and integrated S2 Security access control for door monitoring. The Milestone open platform enabled integration with the access control system so the district can remotely lock and unlock doors from the XProtect
Smart Client video interface. By integrating cameras with the access control system, video is triggered to show views of doors being opened and closed, and operators can remotely lock them. The district voted in 2015 to continue expanding the Milestone/Axis solution to cover schools across the district and add monitoring capabilities using the Milestone Mobile client that gives access to the video from smartphones and laptops. Currently, the district’s system covers 15 schools with about 1,200 cameras, and there are plans to add about 1,000 more cameras and cover 25 more schools by mid-2017.

SURVEON SAFEGUARDS POST OFFICES IN EGYPT
Surveon Technology is pleased to announce that the Egyptian post office has deployed Surveon’s IP surveillance solutions as its partner for security applications in more than 100 of its branches. Surveon’s 2-megapixel compact box camera was selected for the main entrance and front desk of the post office, which provided smart WDR and IR LED to ensure clear images under different lighting circumstances. The compact design made the cameras less intrusive for visitors while the surveillance was undergoing. All Surveon megapixel cameras are made with industrial-grade components to ensure product reliability for long-term operations. The project also employed Surveon’s network video recorder (NVR) which supports up to six channels with 200 Mbps recording throughput. It also features two hot-swappable hard disks and RAID 1 data protection to provide reliable performance for 24/7 non-stop megapixel recording. Its tower design and low power consumption provided a simple and cost-effective solution for this case. Paired with Surveon’s scalable enterprise Video Management System (VMS), the solution not only improved safety and security, but provided robust prevention, preparednes and quick response measures for the post offices.

he evolution of video compression has gone through several stages. “Starting in the late 80’s, MPEG-1 was designed to compress VHS-level quality, followed by MPEG-2 for NTSC/PAL broadcast, MPEG-4 Part 2, H.264 for HD, and
now H.265 … which provides a 40-50 percent bitrate reduction over H.264 at the same perceived video quality,” said Bengt Christensson, Senior Director of Marketing at Ambarella. There are, however, limitations as well. For example, the 50 percent bitrate
reduction applies to a single video stream, while H.265 chipsets currently available in the market offer little space for vendors to differentiate their products. But that is not to negate the various positive aspects of H.265, which is in demand at a time when surveillance
H.265: The Future, or Just Hype?
H.264 H.264 OCT 2016 ● www.asmag.com
A major topic in video surveillance nowadays is H.265, which addresses the need for more effective bandwidth and storage usage in the midst of 4K or even 8K video. Against this backdrop, more and more vendors have rolled out end-to-end systems to bring out the full benefits of H.265. But before the technology replaces H.264 to become the mainstream, several challenges and issues need to be resolved. BY William Pao

migrates towards 4K (3840 x 2160) and even 8K (8192 × 4320) video. “Given the fact that surveillance systems run around the clock, the data storage required can quickly add up,” said Karen Sangha, Field Marketing Specialist for Security Solutions at Panasonic. “H.265
compression provides the power to meet the challenge posed by these large high-resolution video files by offering a higher level of compression to make the best use of the available limited bandwidth and data storage space.” “For H.264, with a 2MP camera, surveil-
H.265 H.265 Looking Beyond H.265
Since camera vendors find it difficult to differentiate based on H.265 alone, they differentiate on other features, for example noise reduction and wide dynamic range functions. These are more effectively processed by the image sensor that complements H.265 performance. “H.265 is basically just a ‘wrapper.’ It is the package that you put inside that makes the difference,” said Pieter van de Looveren, Senior Manager for Marketing Communication at Bosch Security Systems. “The way a manufacturer is able to minimize the amount of noise makes a substantial difference. Image noise, the deadly enemy of video surveillance users and manufacturers, is produced in the camera sensor and is caused by illumination, electrical interference and the sensor substrate itself. Although it can never be completely negated, it can be limited significantly using technical design, component quality, and managing lighting conditions. Therefore, customers should pay more attention to the manufacturer’s ability to digitally reduce noise, dynamically adjust the camera’s exposure, offer high dynamic ranges, and other improvement algorithms to clean the image by minimizing noise and optimizing image quality in and around objects of interest.”
lance on a 24-hour basis consumes 50GB of storage. For H.265, it uses only 25GB,” said Joseph Vo, Technical Manager at Vantech. This reduction in bandwidth and storage usage translates into better savings for the end user. “Security is often seen as a grudge purchase, so immediately organizations can save money on storage equipment and its maintenance and possibly the number of cameras they need to install,” said Brian Song, MD of IDIS Europe. “The greatest benefit of H.265 system is a reduction of bitrate by more than 50 percent than H.264, which means the users can save half of the cost on storage and get better image quality over limited bandwidth,” said Clarence Lin, Director of Afidus.
Benefits of Using end-to-end system Realizing the benefits H.265 brings, many vendors have rolled out H.265 cameras. More and more, they have also announced H.265 NVRs, which form a complete end-to-end system that brings out the full benefits of H.265. “If a customer would purchase a H.265 camera but the recording device is only supporting H.264 streams, the H.265 advantage of the camera is gone,” said Pieter van de Looveren, Senior Manager for Marketing Communication at Bosch Security Systems. “All supporting components — that is, video management software, monitors, network equipment and storage solutions — must be available in order to effectively use a high-resolution H.265 video surveillance solution. Customers should think about a complete end-to-end solution.” Getting an end-to-end H.265 system would also make more business sense. “End-to-end systems are more cost-effective from the outset as everything is purchased and supported by one supplier, so this saves installers a huge amount of time,” Song said. “Purchasing NVRs, cameras and video

Cybersecurity: Electric grids, oil refineries and power plants are major targets for cyberattacks. The oil and gas sector would need to spend $2 billion on cybersecurity by 2018 in order to protect itself from attacks.
n February of this year, the price of oil per barrel reached a 12-year low in the U.S., dipping below US$27. Despite prices coming back up to around $50, it is still half of what it was two years ago in 2014 when the price per barrel was around $100. In terms of security investment, lower barrel prices have meant that companies are looking to reduce operational expenses, not at the cost of security, but instead more efficient security. “While overall oil production has slowed, the demand for oil and gas production has continued to increase, and with this growth comes the demand for producers to safeguard investments at production facilities across the globe,” said Russell Ost, Vertical Market Manager for Global Oil and Gas at Pelco by Schneider Electric. “This means the security industry is poised to see more investment made in security solutions and business organization resources that will meet the needs of regulatory committees and security officials charged with protecting people and assets in a facility.” Amit Mattatia, President and CEO of Opgal Optronic Industries, noted, “Even when the oil and gas industry is experiencing a downturn, security remains high on the agenda due to increased threats, especially in emerging markets, from terrorism, piracy and sabotage. It’s always important for the oil and gas companies to ensure a strong security budget is maintained during this period.” In fact, the oil and gas security and service market size is forecast to grow from $26.3 billion in 2015 to $33.9 billion by 2020, at an estimated CAGR of 5.2 percent from 2015 to 2020, according to a

IncreasIng securIty needs Companies in the oil and gas industry face a growing number of security challenges. Their private security forces are confronting non-traditional strategies and tactics from attackers both internal and external. These adversaries include national and international extremists, well organized criminal syndicates, cybersecurity threats, ideologically driven individuals, and disgruntled employees. Workforces nowadays are also increasingly using mobile devices while working on offshore rigs in remote areas. This has led to investments in network security by enterprises to keep their
network infrastructure and communication lines robust and secure. The major drivers for the oil and gas security and service market include increased spending by oil and gas companies on infrastructure and network protection, the growth of the Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) trend in the oil and gas sector, growth of high-profile cyberattacks, growing political turmoil in the Middle East, increase in regulatory compliances, and increased traction in vulnerability assessment and management. According to Atulya Chandra, General Manager for South Asia at Honeywell Security and Fire: “Fire and gas detection and mitigation systems are key components in the overall safety and operation of any production facility and its onsite personnel. However, in many instances, the overall importance of these systems have not been fully comprehended. Applicable national standards (for example: NFPA 72) are typically prescriptive and do not address process areas. In many cases, they have been implemented using the Distributed Control System
(DCS) or a Commercial-Off-The-Shelf Programmable Logic Controller (COTS PLC) with too few detectors and alarm devices, and without clearly defined performance goals.” “Customers are keen at re-looking the various modes of investments that would eventually optimize the utility-to-cost ratio. Fire and gas application is, hence, not a subject that can easily escape such turmoil in the same industry. The facilities have had serious safety problems over the years,” continued Chandra. According to Ashish Dhakan, MD and CEO for Prama Hikvision, “The attacks by the ISIS forces on the oil fields in Iraq and Syria where they control production of 30,000 and 50,000 barrels of oil a day have become the key concern of stakeholders in the oil and gas industry. The concerns stem from the high value of investment in the oil sector and it being very critical to the economy. Every nation is taking steps to protect its oil and gas facilities with modern technology to ward off the evil designs of the terrorists. India too is putting in place an effective anti-terrorist mechanism to safeguard its numerous oil installations and gas fields spread across onshore and offshore.” He further added: “Western offshore is home to the nation’s biggest producing oil and gas fields with some 180 oil installations. Besides the Mumbai High oil field and Bassein gas field, it is also home to Panna, Mukta and Tapti oil and gas field, and its waters are used to ferry 70 percent of the crude oil India imports through ships and the entire LNG shipments into the country. The world’s largest oil refinery is Reliance Industries’ Jamnagar Refinery in Gujarat. Oil and gas contribute about 15 percent of India’s GDP.” “As one of the six core industries in India, the oil and gas sector is a major factor in the growth of the economy in

“Whilst RFID in the past has been focusing a lot around identification of these objects, the present world is experiencing a lot more functionality coming from RFID technology.” In 2015, the total RFID market was worth US$10.1 billion, up from $9.5 billion in 2014, according to research from IDTechEx. This includes tags, readers and software/services for RFID cards, labels, fobs and all other form factors, for both passive and active RFID. The market is forecast to reach $13.2 billion in 2020. A large consumer of RFID has been the retail industry. In the retail sector alone, sales of RFID readers, tags and software are expected to grow from $738 million in 2014 to $5.4 billion in 2020, at a CAGR of 38.9 percent, according to a 2015 report by Frost and Sullivan. Regardless of what it’s being used for, the use of RFID to track, tag or identify starts with finding what type of RFID works best for the application.

Choosing the Right RFiD CaRD/tag Whether it be a card or tag, RFID is used in many different verticals in a variety of ways. Depending on how it is being used, there are various factors that need to be considered in order to choose the correct form of RFID for the application’s needs. “Selecting an RFID tag for an application is a complex procedure and requires a thorough understanding of how tags and interrogators work as well as an understanding of the business processes within the organization performed on the objects to be tagged,” said Eva Zeisel, Director of Marketing and Online Sales at RFID4U. “It is also important to know the tag and interrogator specifications and their impact on tag performance. Some of the most important factors considered during tag selection are tag type, operating frequency, materials to be tagged, tag mounting method, read range, read rate, tag size, environmental conditions, cost and mandated requirements.”

The Rise of Analytics as a Video surveillance and access control have been offered as services by several companies in the recent years. But lately, a few have been able to come up with certain unique solutions from the cloud. In this article, we take a look at some of these solution providers and their offerings. BY Prasanth Aby Thomas
he security industry is continuously evolving, as new technologies and business strategies exert their influence on the market. Every now and then we come across new developments that would change the course of demand. To some, this change and its pace would seem overwhelming, but it is a reality that industry players have to cope with. A recent such development, for instance, has been the move from traditional security systems to cloud-based surveillance and access control systems. Often known by terms like video surveillance as a service (VSaaS) or access control as a service (ACaaS), these are beginning to become quite popular among a number of users. According to MarketsandMarkets, VSaaS market is expected to reach US$2,390.9 million by 2017, growing at a CAGR of 31.5 percent from 2012 to 2017. The global access control as a service market, on the other hand, is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 24 percent from 2016 to 2020. Some reports suggest IHS expects the latter market to exceed $530 million by 2018 and $1.8 billion by 2025. OCT 2016 â—? www.asmag.com

SAAS, NEURAL NETWORKS AND DEEP LEARNING
Service
It is important to note that the security industry is increasingly being influenced by new technology like deep learning. Several companies have come forward on this, with far-reaching solutions that continue to improve the quality of surveillance. To some industry players, the advancement of security as a service will have a major impact on the growth of technology like deep learning. “They are critical,” said Zvika Ashani, CTO of Agent Video Intelligence. “They are what enables the service to be both very accurate and very easy to set up. They provide the required level of intelligence behind the scenes, and without it, you may be able to set up something as a service but it will still require a lot of manual set up by the user and it will not be as accurate as the user will expect.” Carl Gohringer, Founder of Allevate, agreed. “The face recognition algorithm that we use in our solution is a neural network learning application. So if you put everything on the edge, it’s very difficult to accomplish this,” Gohringer said. “Absolutely!” said Kapil Pendse, Product Manager at KAI Square. “By taking the analytics as a service approach, we are able to introduce new applications to our users as the technology evolves. Our users benefit from the frequent automated updates of our cloud and edge services, without having to make substantial investments every time they need a new analytics application.”
Zvika Ashani, CTO, Agent Vi Andrew Farah, CEO, Density Carl Gohringer, Founder, Allevate Kapil Pendse, Product Manager, KAI Square
Assisting such rapid growth of this segment are factors such as improved bandwidth availability and cost-efficiency. But while these are rather obvious reasons, what is more interesting from an industry and market perspective is the development of the technology itself. Security as a service is no longer just about cloud-based video surveillance or access control, but is increasingly about analytics and more specific solutions.
What is on the offer? For this article we interviewed a few major companies that provide analytics as a service. Most of them have just introduced their offerings to the market and hence do not have much cases to talk about, but, given the nature of the market and its direction, see strong potential for growth. What is significant about these companies is that they are willing to focus on certain specific features to penetrate the market. Density, a Silicon Valley startup for instance offers people counting as a service. Speaking to a&s on its various features, Andrew Farah, CEO of Density,
explained what the company offers. “Our people-counting sensors use computer vision, depth sensing technology and a powerful onboard processor to measure how many people are inside a space at any given time,” Farah said. “Customers can easily mount our units across a set of doorways, connect to power and Wi-Fi, and use our API to access how many people have visited. Density’s system integrates this occupancy data with customers’ pre-existing software to inform business decisions. The simple question, ‘How busy is this room?’ has profound implications for space utilization, staffing and security.”

One of the key factors of the next industrial revolution is going to be the role that robots are going to play in it. Across sectors, intelligent machines that can replace human actions are already making their presence felt. According to the research firm MarketsandMarkets, the industrial robotics market alone is expected to grow at a CAGR of 11.9 percent between 2016 and 2022, reaching US$79.6 billion by the end of this period. Another report from Forrester claims robots will have eliminated 6 percent of all jobs in the U.S. by 2021. To be fair, robots make a lot of tasks more efficient compared to their human counterparts. And this happens in almost all fields that they have been deployed in. In this article, we take a look at some of the different sectors in which robots have to come to play a crucial role.

Replacing secuRity guaRds
The rising cost of human security guards and the search for more effecient monitoring services are boosting the sales of security robots around the globe. Available in various shapes and sizes, these machines promise to be the future of security guarding. obots that provide security services are already being adopted by customers. According to media reports, Uber uses a robot called the K5 in its parking lot and finds it way cheaper than employing a human guard. The K5 is a 300-pound security robot made by a Silicon Valley startup called Knightscope. In an interview with a&s , Stacy Stephens, the company’s VP of marketing, said that the lowered expenses and the intelligent technology that integrates different elements contribute to the rise in demand for the robot. “Cost savings, the force multiplying effect of software + hardware + humans, and access to all of the data generated by each machine,” Stephens said. “It’s a real game changer!” To others, it is just the next step in technical evolution. “Today, robots are just emerging on the market. But tomorrow no security will be available without robots,” said Leo Ryzhenko, CEO of SMP Robotics. But such technological reasons apart, there are some who point out certain practical issues that are paving way for security guard robots to become popular. Lew Pincus, CEO of Gamma 2 Robotics, pointed out the dearth of security officers and how robots are the answer to this problem. “Every night in the U.S., approximately one million person-hours are needed to fulfill ‘patrol and report’ security plans, at an average cost of roughly US$47,000 annually
(source: Bureau of Labor Statistics, 2012),” said Pincus. “These one million hours consist of dull, mentally fatiguing patrols, often in dimly-lit, dirty environments. Additionally, the security guard industry experiences more than 300 percent turn-over in employment, creating a never-ending, revolving door of recruiting, hiring, training and assigning guards to a client’s post.” “This problem needs a new and innovative solution,” Pincus continued. “We believe security guard robots will help augment staffing shortages, high turn-over and expense associated with recruiting, background screening, drug testing, uniforming and training security guards that are in the lowest end of the staffing requirement.” The company recently released its latest offering RAMSEE, a security robot that it claims to be the world’s only artificially intelligent indoor autonomous security robot. “Customers are look ing for a new solution that reduces costs and manages risk while increasing reliability,” Pincus said. “RAMSEE’s starting retail price is $45,000 and over three years will operate at about $4.50 per hour based on a 10-hour shift. RAMSEE doesn’t need breaks, call in sick, take vacations or fall asleep

during its shift. It constantly streams data and video while reporting on things like motion, heat, humidity, toxic gases and changes in the environment.” Another company that has come up with a similar offering is Netherlands-based Robot Security Systems. Its robot, called SAM, can observe, detect and report. Edwin Lustig, Director of the company explained what makes its robot stand out from the rest of the machines in the market. “There are a few things that we do differently,” Lustig said. “First of all, if you want to detect humans, most robots have to stand still. This is because they use standard technology. Of course, there are lots of cameras in this world that can recognize humans, but they tend to stand still and while the robot is moving you cannot use that technology. We created an algorithm that went with our thermal camera to recognize people while moving. This makes a huge difference because you don’t have to stop every time to look around.” Edwin Lustig, Director, Robot Security Systems Lew Pincus, CEO, Gamma 2 Robotics Leo Ryzhenko, CEO, SMP Robotics Stacy Stephens, VP, Marketing, Knightscope
