COVER STORY

PROFESSIONAL UNIFORM SPECIALISTS

SAI Consulting says it’s ready to meet the challenges of providing uniforms, protective clothing and safety accessories to the private security industry. While SAI Consulting may be a relative newcomer, it’s already making a significant impression on clients around the country.

FEATURES 10 FOCUS ON UNIFORMS When considering uniform budgets, companies should never underestimate the importance of quality materials which impact on lifespan and durability. Uniforms need to provide instant recognition; provide security officers with a sense of pride and a strong affiliation; and, more importantly, uniforms should always comply with safety standards which is, according to uniform manufacturers, a non-negotiable factor.

14 GUARDING COMPANY SERVICES South African universities face a multitude of security challenges on a daily basis, but that’s to say nothing of the extraordinary impact felt by the student riots that have swept across our nation’s tertiary institutions over the course of the past two years.

24 SECURITY IN ACTION Where there are crowds there are risks. And while security guards can monitor and patrol an area, it isn’t always possible for them to see everything at once or recall events with one hundred per cent accuracy. Marco Della Peruta, head of technical services at Sensor Security, takes a closer look at how physical security and technology can come together to provide realtime reaction services, proactive strategies, objective reporting and the collection of evidence.

EDITORS COMMENT

Industry game changers

his past month I’ve had some great opportunities to see some of the industry’s products and services in action on various sites around the country. One of the stand-outs was the breathtaking Izinga Estate in Umhlanga Ridge, KwaZulu-Natal. Here I had the opportunity to visit one of the control rooms and meet the security site supervisor and control room operators from Enforce Security. This particular estate’s surveillance video management solution is powered by Cathexis Technologies through the CathexisVision IP Video Management Software. It was quite an experience to see a combination of the various technologies in action,

while getting feedback from those who work with these systems on a daily basis. But more about that at a later stage. The global and local security industry has certainly not been immune to the volatile market and tough trading conditions and, as a result, it was predicted by many industry commentators some years ago that the security industry would see a series of major industry mergers and acquisitions taking place over the next decade. With that in mind, the Fidelity Security Group has recently announced the financial conclusion of ADT South Africa from Tyco. At a closing price of R2-billion, the deal includes all of ADT’s current commercial and residential services, together with its guarding company, ADT Kusela. The new company, Fidelity ADT, will, according to Fidelity chief executive officer Wahl Bartmann, provide an end-to-end fully integrated security solution for customers across the commercial, public sector and residential markets. He adds that this acquisition will broaden the scope of services available to current and future customers, bringing together the strengths of both businesses for a superior solution. March also saw Fidelity mark its 60th anniversary, a phenomenal achievement indeed. Fidelity says it has complete confidence that customers will experience a smooth transition and that the company is well positioned to handle the operational changes as efficiently as possible. The last time the industry experienced a merger of this magnitude was in 2014 with the acquisition by Bidvest of the Mvelaserve Group when Bidvest Magnum merged with Protea Coin to launch Bidvest Protea Coin. This also enabled Bidvest Protea Coin to dramatically broaden its scope of national operations and fulfil certain industry requirements. This month another global story that caught my eye was Hikvision’s

reaction to a comment made by Genetec. As a global supplier of innovative video surveillance products and solutions, Hikvision has worked hard to build up an enviable reputation as a respected international player with an impressive portfolio of products and respectable partner network. This month Hikvision hit back on comments that alluded to the fact that it was being funded by the Chinese government to do harm to other industry players. It all started when Genetec’s chief executive officer Pierre Racz made some comments in an interview with Detektor Magazine, that certain unspecified governments had mentioned to Genetec that they are extremely concerned about the origins of Hikvision products. He went on to imply that the products were providing access to the Chinese government. The interview went on to make some very sensationalised claims about global espionage. Keen Yao, vice-president of Hikvision International Business Centre immediately responded with an open letter, calling these comments nothing but vague accusations and outrageous claims. He reiterated that Hikvision products are manufactured, inspected and tested in world-class factories in Hangzhou, China. He added that Hikvision regularly hosts security integrators and security professionals from the West and all over the globe for tours of its factories. He said that visitors are interested to see industry-leading cyber security best practices at work, and the company continually increases efficiency by using sophisticated processes. He added that there is no motive for a commercial company to provide access to any government. He said the comments were laughable and added that the Genetec leader appears to lack both understanding of how the systems work, and he appears to have very little respect for the professionals who protect their companies. Seems many installers and integrators agree with Hikvision’s position and feel that Genetec had made a very embarrassing faux pas.

CYBER CRIME

Data ransoms

are crippling businesses Cyber criminals are always on the prowl, analysing online behaviour of users and looking for new opportunities to infect computers. Ransomware is the latest malicious threat that infects computers and blocks access to data until a ransom is paid.

ccording to One Channel chief executive officer, Bernard Ford, many victims of ransomware attacks thought it would never happen to them, ending up unprepared to withstand the attack and paying thousands in ransom. The technology research organisation, Gartner, has indicated in various studies that one laptop is stolen every 53 seconds while The Independent IT Security Institute predicts that more than 390 000 new malware programmes are reported every day. More importantly, the National Cyber Security Alliance states that 60 per cent of companies close within six months of a data disaster. “There’s no reason why any organisation should become a victim of these crimes,” says Mr Ford. “With a few simple tricks and robust ransomware protection software, you

can protect your valuable data in the most efficient and cost-effective way,” he says. Advanced ransomware protection technology, actively protects all of the data on a computer. It constantly observes patterns in how data files are being changed on a computer. One set of behaviours may be typical and expected while another set of behaviours may signal a suspect process taking hostile action against files. Acronis has been designed for hybrid cloud data protection through its back-up, disaster recovery, and secure file sync and share solutions. Acronis is available through a global network of service providers, distributors and cloud resellers. Powered by the Acronis AnyData Engine and set apart by its image technology, Acronis delivers easy,

complete and affordable data protection of all files, applications and operating systems across any environment – virtual, physical, cloud and mobile. Founded in 2003, Acronis protects the data of more than five million consumers and 500 000 businesses in more than 145 countries. With more than 100 patents, Acronis products have been named best product of the year, and cover a range of features, including migration, cloning and replication. Acronis Active Protection is integrated in its consumer product, Acronis True Image 2017 New Generation, and will shortly be introduced in its SMB and enterprise product Acronis Backup 12 Advanced. The Acronis approach looks at these actions and compares them with malicious behaviour patterns. This approach can be exceptionally powerful in identifying ransomware attacks, even from ransomware variants that are as yet unreported. Additionally, Acronis Active Protection is capable of detecting new threats based on already identified patterns as well as learned ones. Results must be adjusted to reduce false positive detection of things that really aren’t ransomware. Acronis Active Protection maintains a whitelist – programmes that are allowed and expected to perform certain actions – to prevent authorised activities from being falsely tagged as unauthorised. Mr Ford says one way criminals could choose to compromise files would be to attack the Acronis True Image programme itself to corrupt the back-up files it creates. “To protect against this, Acronis has implemented a robust self-defence mechanism that won’t let criminals disrupt the work of the Acronis application or backup file content.” More importantly, Acronis Active Protection monitors the Master Boot Record of Windows-based computers. It won’t let any illegitimate changes to be made to prevent you from being able to properly boot one’s computer. If ransomware begins to encrypt files, Acronis quickly detects and halts this process. The fact that Acronis is a back-up solution, any data that was exposed and encrypted before the process was halted can be recovered from a variety of back-up sources. “Not only can alternative anti-ransomware solutions commonly end an attack once it has started, they have no way to recover any files encrypted by the attack. Acronis True Image with Acronis Active Protection detects, deflects, and restores files of any size,”

he explains. The methodologies in Acronis Active Protection detect, deflect, and restore in advanced ways. These protection approaches not only stay ahead of the criminals, but they are more innovative and advanced than any other anti-ransomware methodology available. He says regular full image back-ups are the ultimate way to mitigate ransomware attacks. “Critical files should have regular back-up with a minimal interval, preferably to a secure cloud storage provided by your backup vendor. However, you need to check with your vendor to make sure the cloud back-up is protected against ransomware.” Modern back-up software has inbuilt real-time protection against ransomware. Innovative technology using behavioural heuristics analysis will detect and stop ransomware even when your anti-malware programme is not able to. Acronis Active Protection will let you automatically restore any damaged files with no limitations on size. “Anti-malware software, or what is commonly known as ‘anti-virus’, provides a valuable defence against malware infections, but choose your software carefully. Remember, many free anti-virus programmes don’t offer any protection against ransomware,” he warns. “Do not ignore software update messages. They are there for a reason. Software updates

are designed to introduce new features or patch up security holes abused by cyber criminals. The sooner you patch up, the less likely your system will be exploited by ransomware,” he adds. Upgrading to the latest software version is also a good practice. Outdated software may not be supported by the vendor, which makes it more prone to attacks. This applies to both applications and operating systems. Mr Ford says if you receive something from a person you don’t know, or something you don’t expect, don’t open it. “Check it with the sender, run it through your antivirus programme. You may need to do the same even for e-mails received from people you know. Be on the safe side, don’t open suspicious e-mail attachments and don’t click the links, especially the ones asking you to download software ‘to read this attachment’.” Essential business software applications such as Microsoft Office 2016 now include an option to ‘Block macros from running in Office files from the internet’. This is handy. Make sure it is enabled. “When you receive a Word document or an Excel spreadsheet by e-mail and it asks you to enable macros, don’t do it. A lot of harmful malware is spread this way. If the file is infected and you turn the macros on, you give the hackers permission to install ransomware and start encrypting your data,” he concludes.

FOCUS ON UNIFORMS

Getting into the

right gear

Sparks & Ellis believes that a uniform says a lot about your organisation and it can also instil a sense of pride in the wearer while promoting respect and confidence.

his is according to Sparks & Ellis chief executive officer, Sue de Wet, who says that balancing budget and quality is a delicate balance when looking for a uniform that not only offers great value for money, but is also great in every other way. “A security officer’s uniform is of critical importance because it is the element that sets the security officer apart,” says Ms de Wet. “While aesthetics do, of course, play an important role, there are other factors that are critical to a company’s choice of uniform for its security officers. “In fact, the appearance of the security officer’s uniform actually plays a critical role when it comes to how that guarding company is perceived by the public,” she says.

Providing peace-of-mind Uniforms should provide instant recognition so that, in an emergency situation, and particularly in a crowded area, members of the public can spot security staff and will immediately know who to turn to for help. Ms De Wet says it has also been shown that the presence of a uniformed security officer provides reassurance for other staff and visitors at the premises. A well-presented security officer not only

promotes peace-of-mind, but their presence is also a major deterrent for criminal activity.

Pride and belonging Security officers who are well-presented can feel a sense of pride and a strong affiliation to the company they work for. Being identifiable as part of a team creates a feeling of professionalism and belonging. In addition, a uniformed security officer is often the very first impression visitors will have when visiting an organisation.

Combining quality and budget requirement When it comes to quoting competitively in an industry that is largely driven by cost at a time when operating costs are also increasing, Ms de Wet says that uniform manufacturers face a major challenge. “While we have access to world-class technology, client budgets can often prohibit the introduction of new fabrics and uniform technology,” she says. “While some companies do also believe that uniforms should be replaced on an annual basis, others believe they should be adapted with the changing seasons. “Sparks & Ellis tries to encourage companies to invest in seasonal uniforms and help extend the life of a uniform in this way.”

SECURITY FOCUS AFRICA | MARCH 2017

Safety first “Uniforms should always comply with safety standards and this is a non-negotiable factor,” says Ms de Wet. Depending on the environment in which the security officer is working there are a couple of critical factors for consideration. Is the uniform breathable; and is it waterand fire-resistant? Does the environment in which the security officer is working, call for the use of safety shoes with steelcapped toes?

Quality materials Sparks & Ellis says that when considering uniform budgets, companies should never under-estimate the importance of quality materials, which impact on lifespan and durability. Important factors for consideration include colour, washable materials, and ease of replacement. “Ensure the uniform you choose is made of good quality material. Look at the fabric used, as well as the zips and buttons – because this will determine how durable the uniform will be. “In the long run – good quality uniforms could save the company from unnecessary replacement uniform costs,” concludes Ms De Wet.

FOCUS ON UNIFORMS

A NICE PLACE TO WORK They’ve been hiding their light under a bushel but just recently, and somewhat quietly, Sparks & Ellis let it slip that their staff stay with the company for an average of 18 years. This must put Sparks & Ellis high on the charts of long service and loyalty, particularly in today’s world when everything moves so fast. While the company may be the oldest uniform supplier in the country, Sparks is also right up there with the latest fabric technology, innovative systems, and contemporary management style. Not only a nice place to work, but an empowering one too, because Spark & Ellis has invested more than R225 000 in its people training in the last financial year and given

18 of its staff the chance to broaden their learning and develop their skills through two courses: Admin / Management Course: (NQF Level 4 Learnership); and the Warehouse Course (Skills Course). Through its training programmes, many staff have been given a leg-up to middle management. Sparks & Ellis is a Level 2 BBEEE company owned by The Cape Union Mart Group. Attitude seems to be the common denominator here. Colleagues with a disgruntled

attitude in the workplace affect the people around them and this, in turn, makes for an unhappy “home”. Sparks & Ellis chief executive officer, Sue de Wet, says: “As we spend at least 40 hours per week at work, we believe it’s important to make those hours as enjoyable and fulfilling as possible. “All our employees are treated with respect and are also given opportunities to upskill themselves at the

company’s expense. We also help them with travel assistance if they cannot get to their classes or arrange for the classes to be given in the office. We do what we can to help.” Sue de Wet herself has been with the company in excess of 40 years, so perhaps it could be said that she’s setting a good example in every way.

How will universities manage riots in future? South African universities face a multitude of security challenges on a daily basis, but that’s to say nothing of the extraordinary impact felt by the student riots that have swept across our nation’s tertiary institutions over the course of the past two years.

rom protests against rising tuition fees, to the call to remove perceived symbols of apartheid, the student protests soon called for an end to outsourcing of non-core services (cleaning, security, landscaping), and eventually escalated into the outright demand for free education. These riots culminated in millions of rands worth of damaged property by hundreds of violent confrontations between students, police and private security officers. In 2017, the status quo looks set to continue as various incidents of unrest have already been reported around South Africa. With this in mind, the 2017 Campus Protection Society of South Africa (Camprosa) Conference will provide some valuable insight from a wide range of different stakeholders that may be able to explore possible solutions to these challenges. Last year, the annual Camprosa International Conference tackled some of these pertinent issues head-on through a series of speakers, debates and panel discussions. The Private Security Industry Regulatory Authority (PSIRA) chairperson, Professor Fikile Mazibuko also weighed in on the issue of insourcing vs outsourcing. While she emphasised that the Authority was not there to prescribe to any of the academic representatives from various institutions that were present at the conference on what they should prescribe to, she did provide some context for the legal implications involved for both approaches. With growing demands for the redistribution of wealth, access to education for all, and job security students and workers have created a powerful unity that demands free education and better conditions for the working class. With private security services forming a major part of outsourced services at universities across South Africa, PSIRA has tried to establish a formal position on the concept of insourcing or outsourcing of security services and the effect that insourcing will have on the Authority responsible for the regulation of the private security industry.

PSIRA has cautioned that while the Authority cannot prevent insourcing of security services, there are a number of highly complex considerations to take into account where insourcing is concerned. She also suggested that perhaps using a combination of the two employment options may provide the optimal way forward. Prof Mazibuko emphasised that there are a number of factors that instituitions will need to consider when insourcing security, including the legal obligations in terms of the PSIRA Act as well as very stringent private security regulations. The Authority says these institutions will be subject to compliance inspections and stringent record keeping. All obligations in terms of the Code of Conduct for security services providers will have to be met, including annual training, adherence to the Firearms Control Act, and any form of non-compliance may result in fines of up to R1-million. That’s to say nothing of the implications of labour unrest, the cost of training, adequate uniforms and safety gear and strict adherence to labour law when it comes to overtime. Inhouse employees will also be entitled to the same benefits as outsourced counterparts, including annual increases, medical aid and pension fund benefits, which are the responsibility of the employer. PSIRA’s chief executive officer, Manabela Chauke shared insights on the need for compliance with respect to ensuring that all security personnel working on campuses would be required to register with the Authority regardless of whether they were insourced or outsourced employees. With regards to insource or outsource staff, he insisted that intuitions must be guided by the regulations that apply to the security industry as a whole. Mr Chauke also touched on the insourcing vs outsourcing debate, noting that cooperation is required to ensure the institutions adhere to the regulations set by government. Mr Chauke added that it cannot be assumed

all inhouse security officers will receive better benefits and conditions of employment. In fact, with lesser oversight and protection from the Authority, a significant number of security officers in an inhouse environment will, in all likelihood, be exploited. Dr Johan Burger, from the Governance, Crime and Justice Division of the Institute of Security Studies, provided some insight into the latest national crime statistics and stressed that the country’s economic and political instability must be addressed effectively if the country is to overcome the serious problem of crime and public violence. A panel discussion led by Professor Adam Habib, Professor Francis Petersen and Professor Chris de Beer, both from Camprosa, tackled the critical issue of safety during the unprecedented Fees Must Fall riots which took place during 2015 and 2016. The experts agreed that security must become more integrated with other areas of operation on campus, and that a more holistic approach would go a long way in preventing violence, injury and death for innocent victims caught up in the riots. They agreed that security must become a strategic imperative because it was becoming clear that the riots would not stop until the students felt that their demands had been met.

Looking ahead to 2017 The 2017 Camprosa International Conference will take place from 3-6 September 2017 at the Kwa Maritane Bush Lodge, Pilanesberg National Park, and following on directly from the highlights of the previous year, the 2017 Conference theme is “Security within the new norm”. Speakers will include representative from the South African Police Service, who will take a look at the role of the SAPS during the Fees Must Fall demonstrations. The conference will also include an insightful panel discussion between representatives of the Department of Higher Education, as well as Student Council Representatives from at least two of South Africa’s universities.

SECURITY IN ACTION

THE PROS VERSUS THE CONS

Next-level crime prevention Fact: Where there are crowds there are risks. And while security guards can monitor and patrol an area, it isn’t always possible for them to see everything at once or recall events with one hundred per cent accuracy. Marco Della Peruta, head of technical services at Sensor Security, takes a closer look at how physical security and technology can come together to provide realtime reaction services, proactive strategies, objective reporting and the collection of evidence.

arco starts by providing some context. “Kevin Ashton, who is regarded as the founder of the Internet of Things (IoT), once said that people have limited time, attention and accuracy – all of which means they are not good at capturing data about things in the real world.” Marco continues: “This is by no means a slur on the security or policing industry. It is merely an observation on our limitations as human beings.”

Fact Over Fiction What exactly happened? Marco explains that this is often the first question that gets asked when a high value premises is burgled or there’s an altercation between civilians and security. But recall of a crisis is vulnerable to individual perception. This makes criminal collusion, hijackings, or incidences of inaccurate finger pointing difficult to investigate and prosecute. This is where physical security and technology can work together to provide accurate incident data and a strong chain of evidence.

TYPICAL APPLICATION

GLOBAL POSTIONING SYSTEM (GPS)

Body Worn Cameras “The field of Body Worn Cameras (BWC), as a technology and a product, has many different brands and models,” Marco says. “While we are not advocating one brand or model over another, we will advise that when investigating and considering a BWC, the support and compliancy of the equipment and the manufacturer are areas that must be critically considered. “After all, when it comes to the safety of society, one should not compromise on cheaper non-scalable gadgets.” Marco recommends the DS-MH2111 body worn camera from Hikvision. “In its basic form it has a 1080p resolution camera for recording at 60fps and a snapshot capability of 16Mp. The high speed record capability is a vital attribute for fast moving crimes. Pick pockets, casino scams and con artists depend on diversion and speed.” He continues: “The elegance of the DSMH2111 is that the recorded footage can be reviewed in slow motion and it retains a smooth flowing video sequence.” He goes on to add that other product benefits include built in IR illumination for night operation and IP67 level of protection from liquids. The more advanced functions consist of GPS for accurate positioning and 3G and WI-FI for communication with a professional software for interaction on SOS, video and audio.

GPS positioning is a key element in geolocating pictures as well as locating the device itself. Marco continues: “As the BWC moves – its position is always noted. This means that the location of the wearer is trackable on the live mapping module in the CMS software. This applies naturally to slow motions such as walking, and faster motions such as a vehicle, to ensure accuracy of video with respect to location.” Additional DS-MH2111 features include a built-in rechargeable battery that delivers up

SECURITY FOCUS AFRICA | MARCH 2017

to eight hours recording time at a wide 125 degree FOV (field of view) angle and a 32G sized storage card. Password protection – and the ability to allocate a device to a particular individual on a shift – all of which aid in creating an evidence trail.

Objectivity and Support Marco’s focus turns to the guards. “Going back to the point of objectivity in the security industry, the beauty of a device like a BWC that ‘talks’ to a manned control room, is that it links the guard to a support structure. “Situations can easily escalate into a state of action, which may need assistance or guidance. The two-way audio of the device, matched with the streaming video capability, allows for verbal and visual interaction in the heat of the moment. This third party objectivity can minimise risk of injury. “What’s more,” he continues, “in general scenarios, a patrol guard can’t be expected to note all situations. “The MH2111’s ability to store video indicates that at a later stage in time, the video can be reviewed as a historical record for comparison purposes of un-noticed changes on a site. “The security personnel will also feel reassured knowing there is corroborating evidence to support what they encountered.”

One Device. Many Eyes Security is not limited to site patrols, but it includes the safety and the prevention of crimes too. “Take shopping centres, casinos or concert venues for example, the challenges here can range from fraudulent accident reports, vagrancy, shoplifting, by-law infringement to brawling and pickpockets.” Marco adds, “Because the Hikvision BWC can stream live video to a control room, multiple eyes can observe and search for indicators as the security guard moves through key areas.”

SECURITY IN ACTION

SOS Record Feature

Proactive vs Reactive

Marco goes on to detail Hikvision’s emergency recoding feature: A high risk area for special consideration would be prisons, airports and embassies that have vulnerabilities, aggression capabilities, and political risk potentials. Operators in a control room are reliant on what security on the front line observes. The BWC has an SOS feature that can immediately trigger a video pop up in the control room to provide forewarning or a distress condition. By pushing a single button, the local recording is ensured, as well as dedicated observation and reaction.

Marco points out that a device and its integrity is not an endpoint in itself. It doesn’t offer much value if the only recourse is a post incident response to a delayed incident report. Just as crime gets increasingly sophisticated, the tools to combat it must keep pace, which is why Hikvision offers management software that promotes proactive monitoring. He goes on to detail the software solution. “The Hikvision iVMS 5200 control room software enables an operator to rapidly respond to an incident. Given that multiple BWC units and static cameras are in the field, the iVMS 5200 software pools all the data received for purposes of tracking, tracing and searching. “The true power of the MH2111 lies not just in the ability to gather factual information of the surroundings with an accurate location position, but in its ability for operators to have first hand, real time information.” With manual or automated alarms, such as the SOS feature on the Hikvision BWC, video streams from various other BWC can be initiated to create a much more detailed support.

The Safety of the Security Guard “There are arguments for and against the effectiveness of a camera reducing the risk of confrontation,” Marco says. “The MH2111 is a tool where the integrity of the security personnel can be safeguarded. Given that the guard will know that he or she is being monitored, the chance of being approached is minimised, which means prevention is overriding action. “Likewise, the monitoring can be used to dispute claims of corruption.”

An enormous amount of information becomes available allowing for the immediate pro-action, as well as big data storage for longer term business intelligence. Marco continues: “The operators are able to work with body language and crowd behaviours to pre-empt situations arising. Are people running? Are crowds too congested? Is there a hotspot of conflict? Is there a single person behaving out of the ordinary?” The MH2111 mobile device also means that location changes can happen as needed by the live investigation team resulting in better flexibility than a deployed static camera solution. “The result is that detailed and crucial scenes can be monitored, and adjusted instantaneously to make sure the correct and verifiable information is received and captured. To date, both the Kenyan and UK metro police have equipped all 22 000 officers with body camera solutions.”

A Safer, Smarter Future With the advent of more affordable pricing and better technology, guarding company services can transform their offering significantly – simply by partnering with the right products and technology. In other words, the future of security is looking strong.

VIDEO MONITORING

Video system success Success for both the airport and mining industry hinges on costefficiency. Driven by high cost pressure, airport operators have been on the topic for years: the need to lower ground handling costs, notably through the optimisation of aircraft turnaround times.

igh-performance video systems, such as the patented Panomera technology, and intelligent management software from Dallmeier are increasingly being used to achieve just that at airports worldwide – in addition to ground and airside security. The mining industry is dealing with comparable challenges albeit in a different environment. Mines are still prone to theft by employees or intruders along the perimeter. That so-called “green area” requires a general surveillance coverage whereby faces must be clearly identifiable. Panomera guarantees just that by providing a pixel density which is high enough for identification. Since mines are dangerous surroundings due to the operation of heavy equipment and large-scale earth movement, work safety is another top priority for mining companies. While Dallmeier technology is ideally suited to enhance both safety and security across mining sites, the industry has been moving towards also using video systems for analysing and optimising business operations. Mining is a complex multi-stage process, whose profitable execution depends heavily on operators’ ability to avoid operational disturbances. Coupled with intelligent video analysis tools, Panomera offers unique capabilities for ensuring smooth workflows. The multi-focal sensor system Panomera was specially developed for the allencompassing video surveillance of expansive areas, such as strip mines. A huge area can be surveyed from a single location and resolution can be scaled as needed. From the beginning of the mining process, when a new area is developed, throughout production, every stage of the raw material extraction offers potential applications for

video technology. For instance, all facilities such as roads, processing installations and environmental management systems need to be built. During construction, Panomera – together with other primary and secondary measures – help secure and control access to the site. The system’s unique resolution and overview also assist management in ensuring the oftenspread outbuilding activities comply with permits by providing a comprehensive visual status report at all times. Once production begins, Dallmeier’s multifocal sensor technology proves its suitability for collecting and implementing business intelligence data. Analogous to aircraft parked at terminals for deboarding and refuelling, dump trucks arriving at crushers are monitored in minute detail during unloading. Meanwhile, dedicated software analyses the video images, immediately notifying security staff of incidents such as a collision between the load bed and the crusher chute. The software correlates the real-time images with a stored schedule and informs staff of any delays so the overall flow of truck traffic can be adjusted accordingly. Finally, Panomera increases work safety. It is often unpractical or prohibitively expensive to equip every haul truck with cameras. The continuous real-time and highresolution recording of large areas within a mine allows security personnel to keep track of the movements of several trucks simultaneously. If, despite mirrors and back-up alarms, a truck should get too close to a worker or other equipment, staff can intervene and notify the driver. Proactive video monitoring, instead of passive surveillance, is the way forward across different industries, including mining.

Securing smart

cities

BY ECKART ZOLLNER, BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT AT THE JASCO GROUP

By 2050, almost 70 per cent of the world’s people will live in cities. With a growing population and shrinking resources, there is tremendous pressure on governments to make cities sustainable, efficient and safe. Smart cities intelligently integrate key elements, such as infrastructure, energy and mobility to drive those efficiencies and support planning and growth. Security is a core element that underpins many smart city services.

mart cities are already a reality in places like Singapore where the initiatives being explored are reinventing urban living. In other geographies around the world, public and private sector organisations are collaborating in smart city initiatives to explore opportunities and challenges to come up with new solutions. In South Africa, smart cities are still about 20 years away, although several projects have begun to increase broadband and Wi-Fi connectivity – the foundations on which smart cities are built – and introduce smart utilities.

Smart cities evolve What is clear is that smart cities evolve, with the development of some elements taking the lead. Advanced digital, analytics and IP-based security solutions have been around for more than a decade. They create the basis for many other smart city services. For example, CCTV, surveillance and access control technologies are widely used in buildings and plants in commercial and industrial sectors, in private homes and on urban streets and highways to monitor and enforce legislation and prevent crime. Integrating data from these systems provides a clear advantage. In South Africa, we are seeing this in inner city initiatives. CCTV solutions with a municipal centralised control room have become instrumental in reducing crime. In the City of Cape Town a portion of the municipal network is owned by gated communities. These communities have installed cameras in the streets outside their properties and feed the footage back into the municipal control room. Private companies are also beginning to feed video footage into the grid, providing a wider monitoring footprint for municipalities and law enforcement agencies Technology advances in security are helping to automate and improve

monitoring and prevention. Sophisticated analytics built into CCTV and surveillance equipment can identify suspicious behaviour, and thermal cameras can detect movement in the dark.

Securing quality of life and freedom of movement As cities densify, they become more dependent on rapid, reliable service delivery. If up to date information is brought to a decision point, city infrastructure can be tailored to ensure that delivery. Take traffic flows as an example, monitoring them allows quick and effective response. Analysis of historic patterns enables informed long term planning. Similarly, security is not just about responding to immediate challenges or threats. In a smart city, the goal is not just to secure the environment but to also secure quality of life and freedom of movement. The objective is to create an environment conducive to growing the economy – that means happy and safe spaces in which to live, play and work. Security technologies and pro-active security approaches help create a platform to achieve this.

Public-private partnerships build smart cities To move more rapidly towards smart city implementation in South Africa, government

and the private sector need to collaborate on smart solutions. There are many instances of “smart enabled “service delivery – from refuse removal to meter readings – that can be significantly improved with the use of technology. Where government lacks capacity or resources, technology can help them apply their efforts more efficiently. Similarly, technology can assist government to minimise the very high cost of noncompliance and civil disobedience. As an example, the failure to obey local water restrictions are a case in point. In a connected grid, those disobeying water restrictions are not just penalised after the fact, they are exposed to the city and can have supplies terminated. And with more integrated security in place, student protestors might not be so ready to destroy property that will cost millions to replace.

Looking ahead For 2017, we hope to see more cities create strategies to become “smart”. But we also hope they realise that they cannot do it alone. Smart cities are built by both the public and private sector and these partnerships are going to be essential to manage consumption and break service delivery barriers. In addition, we cannot afford to wait. Smart city initiatives need to be implemented rapidly despite political uncertainty and sensitivities because they impact lives and economic growth. As systems such as machine to machine communications, IoT technologies, Big Data analytics and cloud solutions evolve and a quality communication backbone (fibre optics and Wi-Fi) gain ground in 2017, expect to see more smart city solutions emerge in the environment you live, play and work in. These will be the signs of an awakening smart city.

ON THE MARKET

High-end server solution launched Hikvision, the world’s leading supplier in innovative video surveillance products and solutions, has launched Blazer Pro, an ‘all-in-one’ high-end server solution designed specifically to meet the needs of medium to large camera count, mission critical surveillance network projects.

ombining Hikvision’s powerful video management system software and data storage in to one physical server solution, Blazer Pro is capable of handling up to 128 or 256-channels. Catering for any large to mid-size surveillance application, the all-in-on server not only performs basic functions like recording, live view, playback, and alarm management, but also optional advanced functionality such as ANPR, business intelligence, and people counting.

Reliability you can count on Suitable for large-scale and critical surveillance projects such as shopping centres, transportation hubs, casinos, town centres, utility sites and financial applications, Blazer Pro meets the highest demands for features and reliability. Utilising an industry-leading dual boards design, the all-in-one solution ensures a failproof back-up system with the server board and storage board working independently so that in the advent of VMS server failure, normal recording, preview and playback functionality

remain unaffected. The storage board adopts the stable Linux architecture, providing more dependable operation. In a project with several local NVRs performing local recording and utilising Blazer Pro as the central platform managing those NVRs, if a local problem occurs with an NVR or it is removed (stolen), all is not lost, as the Blazer Pro unit will retain the key IP channels data from that local site. This fail-safe solution is facilitated by key IP channel streams being simultaneously transmitted in real-time for recording, from the local NVR, to the central Blazer Pro server. With this Hikvision solution, Blazer Pro ensures the safety of key local IP channels data.

Flexible operation Hikvision’s Blazer Pro boasts many advanced video footage and system safety technologies, including Flexible User Management, which allows users to prioritise access for management and personnel – to ensure that staff members can be allocated an appropriate

system access authority. Blazer Pro connects previously separated NVR/DVR sites together with centralised management. Providing effective system awareness and identification, Blazer Pro’s alarm management interface is a simple and friendly interface that displays real-time performance and alarm notification, making it easier to identify an alarm, locate relevant video and associated information in a single window. “Hikvision continues to innovate in security technologies that provide users with peace of mind and ease of use during operation. “The new Hikvision Blazer Pro VMS server solution ensures any investment in a large camera network will be supported with reliable, simple and effective control functionality,” said Keen Yao, vice-president of International Business Centre at Hikvision.

he South African parliamentary system is broadly based on the Westminster system and, accordingly, comprises three distinct branches with the Separation of Powers being key to these and protected by the terms of the Constitution. Looked at objectively, the establishment of political liberty relies on there being a division between the executive arm of Government, the legislative branch and, finally, the judiciary. In terms of local procedure, the executive arm is Cabinet which comprises Ministers and Ministries together with clusters that cooperate in specific areas. An example of this is the Justice, Crime Prevention and Security Cluster comprising the Ministers of Police, State Security, Defence, Home Affairs and Justice who form a particular reporting line within the Executive and are tasked with specific responsibilities. Ministers are appointed by the State President who, initially, is elected by a majority vote by parliament and generally would be a representative of the party that holds the majority in Parliament. The legislative branch in Parliament, are collectively responsible for the routing of legislation and regulations that give effect to the needs and administration required for the running of the country. Ministers are appointed from Members of Parliament who are then required to fulfill a reporting role between the Executive and Parliament and, in essence, the Executive must be responsible to Parliament from a reporting and transparency perspective. The Judiciary remains independent from the other two branches and this independence is the mainstay in protecting the Constitution from encroachment or breach by either the Executive or Parliament. Two recent matters highlight the role of the superior courts in having oversight and being able to afford relief to applicants from apparent exercise of power by either of the remaining arms. Both have received extensive coverage in the media and have demonstrated the ability of

appointed as head of the Hawks by Minister Nhleko in 2015. Prior to his appointment, North Gauteng High Court Judge Elias Matojane ruled that the suspension of then Gauteng Hawks head Shadrack Sibiya was overturned and that Sibiya should be re-instated. During the judgment, Justice Motojane said that Ntlemeza had withheld an exculpatory report from the Independent Police Investigative Directorate, as well as a police docket from the court. On this basis he referred to Ntlemeza as biased, lacking integrity and dishonest. Subsequent to the appointment of Nltemeza as head of the Hawks, the Helen Suzman Foundation and Freedom Under Law brought the matter before the North Gauteng High Court for review of his fitness.

INDEX OF ADVERTISERS

In effect, the Court agreed with the submissions made by the applicants and held that the appointment was to be reviewed and set aside on the basis that Justice Matojane’s judgment contained judicial pronouncements constituting direct evidence against Mtlemeza. The Minister has indicated that he will apply for leave to appeal the decision against Mtlemeza. In the interim, Mtlemeza is continuing in office. As a side issue, the recent break-in at the offices of the Constitutional Court and theft of computers containing personal information of the ConCourt judges must not only be condemned, but also investigated rapidly and brought to a conclusion. In some quarters, this is seen as attempted intimidation and if so, is totally unacceptable. The above cases demonstrate the Powers of

Separation, the division of roles between the Legislature, Executive and Judiciary, as well as their respective roles. The ability of the judiciary to hear evidence, consider and give judgments fearlessly and in accordance with the Constitution must not only be treasured, but also guarded fiercely. The actions of ministers in both matters were censured by the Courts, the deficiencies clearly identified and the sanctions applied in accordance with the law. It is of significance that in both instances, the decisions were made by a full Bench, with their joint cognitive skills being applied.
