Volume XI • Issue 12 • August 2015 (114 pages including 6 for cover) Editor-in-Chief Lt Col Pritam Singh Mehta (Retd.) Associate Editor Santosh Pathak

Dear Readers,

India MAGAZINES Registered Office BBC Complex, 150 Kilokri Near Maharani Bagh New Delhi - 110014 Ph: +91 11 32471910 Telefax: +91 11 42828080

Greetings from IndiaSAFE! An illustrious era came to an end with the passing away of former President of India, Bharat Ratna Dr APJ Abdul Kalam on 27 July 2015. Largely responsible for shaping India’s destiny in the fields of missile development, nuclear sciences and our space progrmme, the ‘Missile Man of India’ and the ‘Peoples President’ as he was lovingly called, encouraged and inspired millions of our youth to dream big and to strive for the impossible.

E-mails: editor@indiasafe.com spathak@indiasafe.com Website: www.indiasafe.com

The palpable sense of loss was evident from the outporing of grief and numerous tributes from around the world that were paid to Dr Kalam, who endeared himself to one and all. He has left behind a legacy from which we can draw inspiration for years to come, and a grateful nation silently acknowledges his contributions with reverence. . .

Ad-Sales Madhu Mullick adsales@indiasafe.com

Early on 27 July Punjab witnessed a terror attack after two decades when three terrorists donning army uniforms opened indiscriminate fire on civilians and entered the Dina Nagar police station in Gurdaspur district, resulting in the death of seven persons including the SP. The swift response from the local Punjab Police SWAT teams has reiterated the need to have technologically enabled police forces at state levels that can take immediate and effective action, without having to look over their shoulders for central resources like the NSG. The significant role played by two civilians also points to the need for enhancing the public’s safety awareness. One was the bus driver who took evasive action when his bus was fired upon, thereby saving 80 odd lives, and the second was the person who spotted bombs on a railway bridge and immediately cautioned the train to stop before any damage could be done. Police-public interaction is another initiative that needs to be given due importance in every state. Time tarries not and waits for no one. This month marks the completion of eleven years of IndiaSAFE, and my entire team looks back with humility in our hearts – we acknowledge with gratitude, the support and vibes we receive from our readers and our advertisers. This is what urges us to continue striving towards greater heights. . . Till we meet next month stay safe, and happy reading! With warm regards,

Elephant proof. Our cameras are much tougher than they look. That’s because we don’t just give them a few strikes during testing, as you might expect. Instead, we subject them to about 30 heavy strikes – directly on their weakest spots. Don’t worry though, we keep them away from elephants. It’s just one of the tough tests Axis cameras face, so you can be sure you’ll always get the best image quality and high performance – no matter what’s thrown at them.

VIVOTEK’s Panoramic PTZ and IP8365H Provide Security for the Turkish Soil and Water Conservation Bureau

n 2015 the Turkish Soil and Water Conservation Bureau realized the need to provide surveillance and thus security to its office site. To fulfill this important task, the bureau decided to establish a purpose-built central monitoring office from which the entire area could be monitored and secured. The central monitoring office would face a serious challenge however as the office site broad open spaces not only needed to be covered in wide angle views, but individual areas of interest would also need to be studied closely and in fine detail. To make the challenge even greater, the office site outdoor areas were subject to high contrast lighting conditions during the day and very low light over nights. With these requirements in hand, the Bureau reached out to system integrators Fibercom and distributors ONCU to help them find the perfect surveillance system for their office site. Fibercom and ONCU had a simple answer to this complex challenge – VIVOTEK. Having years of experience dealing with diverse surveillance demands, VIVOTEK has developed an impressive toolkit for any challenge. To provide both wide coverage and close detail, VIVOTEK developed the Panoramic PTZ solution, combining the wide range of a fisheye network camera and the high speed zoom and fine detail of a speed dome network camera. Panoramic PTZ combines these two unique cameras into one powerful, all-seeing surveillance system. At the monitoring station, this synergy was realized through the combination of the VIVOTEK FE8174V 5MP fisheye network camera and the VIVOTEK speed dome network cameraSD8364E. Working in tandem, the two cameras allow users to simultaneously monitor an area overview from a fisheye model while providing the capability for a detailed regional view from

a speed dome. The FE8174V fisheye camera provides 360° surround view without blind spots, while the SD8364E speed dome provides fast, precise pan/tilt/zoom movement through its robust design and captures details with precise quality from extreme distances. Not only did the office site’s grounds need to be monitored both broadly and in fine detail, they also needed to be protected no matter what the lighting conditions, no matter what time of day or night. To provide superb image quality in any light, Fibercom and ONCU reached for VIVOTEK’s IP8365H Bullet Network Camera. It features Wide Dynamic Range (WDR) technology, which improves a camera’s image quality under high-contrast lighting conditions where both dimly and brightly lit areas are present in the field of view. A professional day/night camera, the IP8365H is armed with 30 meter IR and Smart IR technology which prevents overexposure by adjusting the IR lighting intensity instantaneously based on the changes of light in the ambient environment. To add to this, the camera is also equipped with 3D Noise Reduction Technology, which enables it to capture clear, polished video under low-light conditions and reduce bandwidth from sensor noise. Finally, tying the whole system together, VAST - VIVOTEK’s professional video / central management software - manages all 100 VIVOTEK IP surveillance cameras installed at the office site. VAST’s intuitive operating system allows the team at the monitoring station to seamlessly manage both the Panoramic PTZ system and the IP8365H and perform remote management of all of the cameras. Of course, to the security staff monitoring the office site for the people of Turkey, all of these details simply mean crystal clear images, all day, all night.

Home Ministry Examining States’ Inputs on Best Practices for SMART Policing I

n keeping with the Prime Minister’s call for making the police SMART (S-Sensitive and Strict, M-Modern and Mobile, A-Alert and Accountable, R-Responsive and Reliable, T-Techno savvy and Trained), the Union Home Ministry is examining the inputs from states on the best practices implemented by them to arrive at a uniform set of processes

and procedures which could be followed by all states in the policing system. This was stated by Jaideep Govind, Additional Secretary, Left Wing Extremism, Ministry of Home Affairs, while addressing a Policy Roundtable on SMART Policing – India’s Growth Imperative, organized by FICCI in association with the Indian Police Foundation and the IPS (Central) Association on 10 July 2015. Govind said that the inputs received from the states on SMART policing emerged from four conferences where the state police departments shared their experiences in areas such as best practices in community policing, deployment of technology, modernization of control rooms and transparency in police recruitment process. He underlined the critical need for making police stations public-friendly as it was important to ensure a peoplefriendly police for ensuring internal security and observance of the law. JF Ribeiro, former Mumbai Police Commissioner and former DGP, Punjab, emphasized the need for creating a humane police force, one that is not dreaded by the people. This, he said, would not happen unless policing is transparent, there is a mindset change amongst the people to follow the rule of law and

the police is freed of interference by the political establishment. He said that the growth impulses to the economy will not be triggered unless literacy and health issues in the Human Development Index are addressed squarely. Once this was done, there would be greater adherence to the rule of law by the people, he pointed out. Prakash Singh, Chairman, Police Foundation and Institute and former DGP, UP and Assam, described the present internal and national security situation as ‘grim and dismal.’ While advocating the urgent need for an internal and national security doctrine, he said what the Home Ministry has done is cosmetic reforms. The need of the hour, he emphasized was systemic reforms that frees the police forces from political interferences and insulates it from external pressures. Singh said that it was high time the country introduced a single Police Act and brought police and public order on the Concurrent List through a Constitutional amendment. Akshya Singhal, Director, EY LLP, in his presentation, indicated that 40% of India’s geographical areas was covered under Red corridor; India’s score in Global Terror Index stood at 7.86 and was ranked 6th after Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Nigeria and Syria; the country

suffered 20,000 human losses in terror and naxal attacks till 2015 and 65,000 drug trafficking cases were reported in the past four years. Calling for a holistic police performance measurement system, Singhal said that there was a need for a historical performance assessment based on a restricted set of crime-focused indicators as crime-focused indicators may change police attitude, thus adversely impacting people’s confidence, and crime statistics may create perverse incentives for the police thereby discouraging reporting. He also stressed the need for improving efficiency and effectiveness and effectiveness of policing based on optimum resource allocation. The session on Internal Security Risks & Challenges – Implications for India’s Growth discussed the critical challenges of internal security risks, its growing ramifications for business and growth, the need to define the national internal security vision and agenda which could cascade down to states, the need for greater role of the Center for overall internal security issues, present fact sheets, reports and recommendations to serve as a tool for sensitizing policy makers and the need for greater allocation from the Center for Police Modernization.

occupants. Every area of the building can now be scheduled and controlled independently and everything can be monitored on a single interface.

The result

he exercise was tremendously successful, and the whole facility was made BMS compatible. The hotel management was enthused by the level of control over operations and could focus on giving their guests a good experience. The Radisson Blu management is keen for a long and mutually beneficial relationship with Bajaj Electricals.

Hochiki Europe Launches New Range of SIL2 Compliant Devices in India

ochiki Europe has announced the introduction of an innovative fire detection range that is independently evaluated and certified to meet the strict requirements of Safety Integrity Level 2 (SIL2) to the Indian market. Hochiki Europe’s SIL2 range includes smoke sensors, multi-sensors, multi-heat sensors, manual call points, sounders and sounder beacons and a range of input/ output modules. These de-

vices will be of interest to those responsible for configuring life safety systems in hazardous environments such as the oil, gas, petrochemical, manufacturing, transport and process control industries. A number of major accidents, as well as the increasing use of electrical, electronic or programmable electronic systems to carry out safety functions, have raised awareness of the importance of designing safety systems in such a August 2015

way as to prevent dangerous failures, or to control them when they arise. This, and extended legislation from the Indian Government, such as the addition of fire safety guidelines to the National Building Code of India, increased the need to develop a range of specialist products that meet the required safety standards. A SIL rating applies to an entire system and is used to reduce risk and improve safety through a formalised and

quantifiable methodology. It does this by measuring safety system performance and the probability of failure on demand – a value that indicates the likelihood of a system failing to respond to an emergency event. There are four integrity levels associated with SIL, in ratings 1-4. The higher the SIL level, the lower the probability of failure on demand and the better the performance of the safety system. It is important to also note that, in the vast majority of cases, as the SIL

level increases, so does the complexity of the system. SIL approval is fast becoming a prerequisite in oil and gas markets all over the world, from Australia to the Middle East, North Africa and even offshore in the UK. It is also increasingly stipulated for projects within the rail transport sector. Rohit Harjani, country manager at Hochiki Europe, commented, “Thanks to the versatility of SIL certified prod-

ucts, businesses can rest assured that their safety systems are compliant in a whole range of sectors. We work extensively within the oil and gas markets, as well as the transport industries, which is why we have developed a SIL2 range. The investment we have made in obtaining this approval and extending the product range to India is an indication of our commitment to helping the fire safety market comply with the most stringent regulations.”

Honeywell’s New Smart Building Technology

Uses visualization and simple, intuitive interfaces to improve operations and business outcomes. Honeywell command and control suite provides effective facility and security management with a consumer touch

oneywell has announced the next generation of smart building technology, Command and Control Suite, which turns complex facility data into recommendations and easy-to-implement changes that help boost business outcomes – lowering costs, minimizing risk and reducing downtime. By combining intelligent automation, advanced analytics and visualization with the simplified user experience of today’s home and mobile electronics, Command and Control Suite links building automation and the enterprise. It can provide a holistic view of a connected building’s video feeds, access control and fire alarms, for example, and pull in relevant information from human resource applications. Integrating data from these disparate systems could help security personnel track occupants and make sure they exit the facility in the event of an evacuation, improving employee safety. Investing in this type of smart building technology typically pays for itself within one or two years by delivering

operational efficiencies as well as energy savings, according to a recent report by Jones Lang LaSalle, a financial and professional services firm. “The building data currently collected in modern facilities presents a vast opportunity to reduce operations and maintenance costs,” said Benjamin Freas, Senior Research Analyst, Navigant Research, “However, difficulties in integrating data from separate building automation systems have encumbered realizing this potential. The usability of facility technologies has been a persistent challenge as well. To date, success in system performance has largely been dependent on the skill and experience of operators.” Guided by experts in the Honeywell Design Studio, all components of the Command and Control Suite were built with the intuitive, consumer-friendly simplicity of tablets and smartphones, making the technology accessible to both a facility manager and chief operating officer. Because virtually anyone can understand and act on the insights the August 2015

command suite provides, companies can improve business continuity and efficiency, and get a higher return on investment. A refined user experience helps reduce operator training and related expenses as well. The Honeywell Command Wall, the core of the suite, features map-based visualization and navigation, along with integrated workflows and systemwide integration from a single, intuitive touchscreen interface. The Command Wall presents data from multiple systems across a facility, such as utility meters and temperature sensors, while providing context for more informed decision making. Using progressive disclosure, users can access an enterprisewide view and also easily zoom into specific areas to quickly understand and react to issues and opportunities as they arise. “A building’s intelligence is largely influenced by those who operate it and can make the changes necessary to improve performance,” said Priyanshu

Singh, Country Manager, India of Honeywell Building Solutions, “So enhancing the user experience is imperative. It allows organizations to extract the most value from their technology investment. Like today’s ubiquitous tablet and mobile devices, Command Wall makes connecting with information and others fast and simple.” A supplement to the Command Wall is Incident Workflow, which guides users step by step through scripted responses to security incidents

and other emergencies, helping further reduce risk and improving accuracy in mitigating issues. In addition, Enterprise Dashboards extend the suite’s real-time visualization by presenting detailed energy data and actionable guidance to help control consumption and boost efficiency. Command and Control Suite technologies integrate with Honeywell’s flagship building management platform, Enterprise Buildings Integrator

(EBI), which helps facilitate the integration of security, comfort, life safety and energy systems, among other functions. EBI gives users a single point of access and consistent view to information and resources that enhance the ability to monitor, manage and protect a facility, campus or multi-site operation. The Command Wall with Incident Workflow and Enterprise Dashboards will be available in the second quarter of 2015.

HI-RISE FACILITIES Starwood initiative showcases benefits of using smartphones as keys for hotels and other high-rise facilities By Ranjit Nambiar – Director, India & SAARC, HID Global

hen Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide, Inc., rolled out its new mobile access solution in November 2014, the initiative demonstrated the many benefits of replacing keys with phones for opening hotel doors. It also showcased the value of this new access control model in any large, high-rise facility. Starwood’s new system turns smart devices into trusted credentials that Starwood Preferred Guests can now use to open doors to their rooms. Based on ASSA ABLOY’s Mobile Access solution, Starwood’s SPG® Keyless Entry system takes advantage of Seos® technology, which also significantly improves security as compared to earlier access card technology. The SPG system has initially been deployed at 10 of Starwood’s Aloft, Element and W Hotels across the globe, in markets including Beijing, Hong Kong, New York, Los Angeles and Doha. Starwood is rapidly expanding its SPG Keyless rollout and expected the capability to be available on 30,000 doors in 150 hotels by early 2015. Hotels aren’t the only large facilities that can benefit from mobile access con-

trol. In October, HID Global, an ASSA ABLOY Group brand, and systems integrator Datawatch Systems created a demonstration suite at a high-rise office building in downtown Washington D.C. where prospective tenants can view mobile access capabilities very similar to those deployed at selected Starwood properties. Visitors wishing to see the demonstration are provided with a Samsung Galaxy S4 or Apple® iPhone® 5C smartphone that can be used to enter and exit the suite. As part of the demonstration set-up, mobile access is also integrated with other advanced building technology to showcase capabilities that are quickly becoming a competitive advantage for property owners and managers who want to offer the best possible tenant experience leveraging mobile phones and other smart devices. For instance, every time a visitor enters the suite using his or her mobile device and ID, load requirements are analyzed and the HVAC system and lights are adjusted, accordingly. Departure of the last person triggers the control to turn off all lights. The introduction and accelerating implementation of mobile access initiaAugust 2015

tives like Starwood’s and the downtown high-rise demonstration suite are among the most important industry developments of the past few years. The Starwood deployment has also validated the use of Bluetooth Smart as an easy to use connection solution for mobile access, enabling users to open doors either with a ‘tap’ of their phone, or by rotating the device from a distance as they approach a mobile-enabled reader. The latter capability is enabled by HID Global’s ‘gesture’ technology, which the company has piloted at organizations as well as higher education institutions such as Vanderbilt University. In the Vanderbilt pilot, participants especially appreciated the value of the technology for opening parking gates without having to roll down their windows. Vanderbilt participants also praised the efficiency and simplicity of using the Mobile IDs, Mobile Access Apps and mobile-enabled readers, and a credential management portal that simplifies Mobile ID provisioning and revoking on a variety of iOS® and Android™ mobile devices. Using the same interoperable mobile access product ecosystem as the Vanderbilt deployment, Starwood’s SPG Key-

less Entry system similarly includes mobile-enabled locks and readers, Mobile IDs, Mobile Access Apps, and services for managing Mobile IDs on the broadest possible range of mobile phones and other smart devices. SPG Members with Bluetooth-enabled phones can participate in the program by registering their phone once, using the SPG App, and allowing push notifications. Then, to use their phones for access at an SPG Keyless hotel, SPG Members first book a reservation and are then invited to opt-in to SPG Keyless approximately 24 hours before arrival. A push notification in-

forms them that they are checked in. When the room is ready, the SPG App updates the guest with his/ her room number and sends the Seos Mobile ID. Upon arrival at the hotel, the guest can then completely bypass the front desk (where available) and go directly to his or her room. Once there, the guest opens the SPG App, holds the smartphone to the door lock, waits for the solid green light, and enters the room. The process significantly improves user convenience, and since many guests can now bypass the front desk, it also gives Starwood Associate more time to engage with other guests

as needed, and to deliver a more personalized level of service throughout the hotel. Mobile access offers an exciting new way to open doors for hotel guests and high-rise tenants. The capability is spreading across a growing spectrum of businesses, universities, hospitals, financial institutions and other organizations. As it does, mobile access is also being combined with other capabilities, such as integration with HVAC and lighting systems. The result is a combination of convenience and simplicity for the user, and improved management capabilities for property owners and facility managers.

Axis Secure Remote Access Remote access made easy, secure and available By Sudhindra Holla â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Country Manager, Axis Communications India & SAARC

Introduction: The challenge with remote access

the client and the cameras are located on different local networks. Using external mediator servers, the client and the camera can find each other and establish a secure peer-to-peer connection. As a fallback the communication is automatically relayed through the mediator servers, when direct communication cannot be established.

n easy, secure and reliable way to access cameras remotely is a priority for many users of surveillance systems. However, connecting to remote cameras can be a challenge, especially when the cameras are located behind routers or firewalls. To give the user an easy and secure way of accessing cameras remotely, Axis has developed the Axis Secure Remote Access technology. This white paper describes Axis Secure Remote Access and gives examples of the technology when used in AXIS Camera Companion 3.

ith AXIS Camera Companion software, Axis cameras are turned into a surveillance solution that typically comprises 1-4 cameras while supporting up to 16 channels. The solution needs a PC only at installation, and operating the system is conveniently done by using a mobile viewing app on a smartphone or tablet. Axis Secure Remote Access is included in AXIS Camera Companion from version 3.

Establish connection

n order to be accessible remote, the camera keeps an open connection to its nearest mediator server. When the client wants to contact the camera, it uses the mediator servers to find out how and where to contact the camera. The client and the camera establish a connection via the mediator server, verify each otherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s identities and establish a secure, direct, peer-topeer communication.

System setup

o use Axis Secure Remote Access in AXIS Camera Companion, the user must have a MyAxis account. The MyAxis account organizes the userâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sites and cameras, and makes them accessible from different clients. For Axis Secure Remote Access to work, an initial one time setup is required while the AXIS Camera Companion PC client and the camera are located on the same network. The one time setup is conducted using a setup wizard, guiding the installer through all necessary steps. The firmware version of the camera is automatically updated during the wizard, and system configuration is performed. Once the initial setup is complete, the camera is accessible remotely from any client device using the specific MyAxis account and the camera and/ or site credentials. August 2015

Fallback to relayed communication

n some scenarios, for example complex network configurations, it is not possible to set up an automatic peer-to-peer connection. For maximal availability, Axis Secure Remote Access has a fallback option to relay the communication through the mediator servers. This is seamlessly handled by the system, and the communication is always encrypted.

Social, Mobile and Remote: The Transformation of PSIM By Michael Mesaros – Product Marketing Manager–TVMS, Tyco Security Products, USA

dvances in engineering and information architecture continually change how we use technology. Some advances have caused subtle changes in product design or application within the physical security market. Other technological advances fundamentally alter how we do business and think about physical security and, in particular, physical security information management (PSIM) platforms. There have been a number of technological advances in the last few years, but four dynamics in particular deserve special exploration. All four are actively reshaping how PSIM products are developed and what end users are now expecting in the security market. One of the most interesting of these dynamics is social media. Social media platforms create organic communication networks among millions of people. For

example, enterprises and large municipalities today routinely monitor Twitter feeds to identify traffic disruptions or potential protest activity near a facility. In recent months, some PSIM systems have harnessed the immediacy and speed of the medium, using keyword prevalence, geospatial information and hash tag monitoring of social media to obtain a broad perspective of what is happening in a locality or at an event. Another powerful change agent is mobile technology. Mobile technology in PSIMs will likely become more main-

August 2015

stream as users become more accustomed to using apps to accomplish their daily tasks. Mobile apps that leverage the native capabilities of smart phones or tablets can notify responders of events and keep security operations up-to-date with pictures and streamed video. However, the real power of mobile technologies is in being able to reach the broader user community. For example, if a tornado was identified by a command center, a PSIM operator could automatically send a customized message to community members in its path, advising them to take shelter, along with the nearest shelter location. Even though its application is only in its infancy in physical security, cloud computing is having a significant impact on the market and the development of PSIM products. Cloud computing is beneficial to the user and integrator in several ways. Cloud

applications can be deployed quickly and accommodate varying processing and storage space needs on demand. By decreasing the need for on-site servers and databases, cloud computing can reduce physical space needs, maintenance and hardware costs, and IT staffing requirements. The use of cloud computing will continue to expand as technology advances and there is broader adoption. The Internet of Things – known as IoT – is moving beyond being just a buzzword and is becoming a reality. Big and small data is streaming into users’ and operators’ hands rapidly and in great

volume. In many ways, the PSIM can be viewed as an IoT application. PSIMs today collect a variety of event and health data from different sensors to correlate information and provide insights into incidents. PSIMs of tomorrow will be able to collect all of the data that sensors of different kinds report and then make use of that data to find patterns and meaning. An example of this would be harnessing the data from police dispatch, traffic

reports, keyword social media searches, onsite intrusion and access control alerts and video to monitor and anticipate security needs at a large-scale event. If the data detects an escalation in activity, additional police or security could be activated and dispatched, all through the PSIM interface. As these four trends further permeate the industry, the PSIM market will no doubt change and adapt quickly. As data sources and data volumes continue to grow, the need for a platform that can provide understandable and actionable intelligence will become exponentially more valuable.

Safe, Beautiful, Blast Protected Cities By Angela Toh – Director, AJA Enterprises Pte Ltd

eople often think of safe cities in terms of security checks, sophisticated video analytics, hardening of buildings to reduce blast damage, and a host of other measures. However, this is not all. Blast mitigation or the protection of people and buildings against injury or damage is not a familiar topic to many. Beyond the saving of people’s lives, and avoiding of building damage, are the intangible but very important aspects of business continuity, and alleviation of psychological trauma. Cost conscious developers deterred by misperceptions of blast mitigation expenses, may unwittingly add to post blast business continuity and trauma challenges.

Post 9-11, many companies located at World Trade Centre never recovered and went out of business. They did not have sufficient Business Recovery Processes in place. Yet others, like the IT team of NESDAQ, had rigorous crisis drills. But when disaster struck, some members of their technically strong team, could not take the psychological stress, and were unable to function as trained. In this regard, I would like to share four common misperceptions about blast mitigation: a) It makes buildings look chunky and fortress-like with small protected windows. b) Costs are exorbitantly high. August 2015

c) It’s only about physical protection. d) Blast mitigation is outside the scope of business continuity.

Inspired designs, blast proof facades

n the early days of blast mitigation, buildings had reinforced structures and small blast protected window panels. This added to building costs, construction time, and detracted from aesthetics. A fortress-like look is projected, giving a sombre feel, almost with a foreboding of a possible strike. With today’s Dynamic Energy Absorption system, like the ENERZORB EAM system, architects now have free

www.indiasafe.com

CMYK

feature

play on façade designs. They can use large glass panels (5x2.4m) without worry of blast mitigation limitations. Entire free form facades can be protected and installed with minimalist structures for the clean, transparent look. In line with contemporary architectural thinking, shopping centres and key government buildings with attractive facades tend to have higher visitor traffic volumes.

Value engineering solutions

ost down does not mean compromised performance! While blast mitigation is not exactly cheap, an astute vendor with value chain-wide expertise can leverage design, engineering and chain efficiencies to provide cost-down solutions to meet client specifications. Value engineering solutions can stand up to ‘live’ blast test validation following GSA-TS01-2003, ASTMF1642, and ISO 16933:2007 protocols. Astute Blast Effects Analysis using specialized software, allows one to optimise and prioritise building protection. This avoids wasteful over specification and protection of non-critical areas. For example, the ENERZORB Dynamic Energy Absorption system absorbs, diffuses and transfers blast energy, to reduce structural stress. Hence, eliminating the need for expensive structural reinforcement. Innovative energy absorbing technology, used with clever combinations of materials, produces solutions that are less material and cost intensive. Value engineering brings blast mitigation within reach of more building budgets. Developers have the option to position and market their buildings as Business Continuity-ready facilities, which adds to the office quality ratings, and attainable per square foot rentals.

Psychological protection – long reaching payoff

ong after streets and buildings have been rebuilt, the psychological trauma remains with many blast victims or witnesses. A recent TV documentary interviewed Balinese 10 years after the 2002 Bali bombing. Many were still psychologically scarred and impaired with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). This has a bearing on their outlook, personality and performance in life, and even affecting their economic productivity. In the aftermath of a bomb blast, the immediate hours and days following are critical in determining the speed of return to normalcy and reduction of psychological and business impact. The greater the delay, and the longer time taken for recovery, the greater is the human and business cost. Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder victims may appear normal externally, but trigger events like anniversaries can bring unanticipated backlash effects. On the first anniversary of the 1995 Oklahoma bombing, about 27 victims came forward for psychological counselling. Roughly the same number came forward on the second and third anniversaries. However, on the fourth year, over 120 sought psychological help. Blast protection reduces the number and extent of injuries. Buildings sustain significantly less visible and structural damage. This greatly reduces the psychological stress experienced by both occupants and responders. Presence of mind and psychological fortitude are sustained, enabling less errors and greater efficiency in crisis management and business recovery. August 2015

Blast protection is critical to business continuity

last protection upholds structural integrity of buildings. It avoids fragmentation of glass windows which is responsible for 85% of blast injuries. Dynamic Energy Absorption system prevents key equipment from being sucked out of the room during the negative pressure phase of a blast. This is especially important for mission critical installations like government buildings, data centres, and banking halls. Data centres with multiple redundancies can come down with a single bomb blast taking out the power, Heating Ventilation and Aircon, server connections, etc. Blast doors which are designed to resist dangerous rebounds, and remain operable after an explosion, allow safe evacuation of people, and entry of Disaster Recovery personnel. Hence, blast protection is a critical element of Business Continuity Planning which should be factored in during the design and pre-occupation stage of a business venue. Retrofit solutions are possible post construction but they tend to be more costly, and options are limited. By limiting personnel injury, equipment and building damage, blast mitigation enables better Recovery Time Objectives (RTO) and higher Recovery Point Objectives (RPO) for rapid business operations recovery. To sum it all, blast mitigation is a critical part of Business Continuity Planning. It can be leveraged to drive business value for developers in terms of higher rentals, on the basis of higher terrorism and Business Continuity preparedness. Blast mitigation can be achieved in a value-engineered manner which empowers creativity for architects to design inspiring façades which capture people’s imagination.

Accordingly, systems integrator JTI Security deployed Agent Vi’s Real-Time Event Detection and Video Search software, seamlessly integrating with the surveillance system at the site comprising over 400 network cameras from Axis Communications and OnSSI’s Ocularis CS as the VMS recording and viewing application. Agent Vi’s Real-Time Event Detection software has transformed the surveillance system into a proactive tool that sends alerts to the security operators when an artwork is tampered with or removed. This increases the productivity of the security team who no longer monitor the live video feeds. Furthermore, Agent Vi’s ‘Left object’ rule alerts

the dispatch center to suspicious objects. Instant video notification enables security staff to view the object in real-time and a security officer is dispatched when required. Agent Vi’s Video Search functionalities have reduced the time spent by

pabilities. William Redding, Assistant Director of Security Technology & Card Services at TU stated, “Agent Vi offered everything that TU was looking for in a video analytics product. The real-time detections, together with the

TU when searching through recorded video during time-sensitive investigations. When campus artwork was found damaged, TU undertook an automatic search to investigate when the artwork was damaged and by whom. The video review – which would have taken hours – was accomplished in less than 5 minutes with Agent Vi’s forensic search ca-

automatic search which makes searching across a wide expanse and numerous cameras so simple, responded to our needs. Combined with the high detection success and low false alarm rate, we have greatly improved our level of security and become much more efficient in the field of investigating surveillance video.”

Gemalto NFC Wristbands Enable Speedy Transport in China

emalto is supplying wristbands embedded with its Optelio Contactless Chip for NFC transport in Wuhan, China. The capital of Hubei province, Wuhan is one of the most populous cities in central China with a population of over 11 million. For this pilot, Gemalto will preload these wristbands with the transit application, allowing users to ride buses and metros with a simple wave of their hand. It will also integrate a fitness tracker, enabling consumers to keep an eye on

their day-to-day activities such as steps taken, distance covered, and sleep pattern. Consumers can perform balance check and account top-up through a smartphone application. Wuhan is a major transportation hub in China. To ensure a smooth flow of commuters, the transit system is rapidly moving towards contactless, with more than 13 million such cards already in use. This simple and secure wristband, which can be enhanced to include payment and other value-

added services in the future, will offer consumers an easier and faster way to travel, leading to increased user satisfaction, operator efficiency and regional growth. Gemalto has been providing contactless transport cards to Wuhan for more than three years. The new wristbands are an extension of these advanced cards. Customized at pre-personalization level, they meet the city and local infrastructure's requirements, and offer bankinggrade security.

Roll out of OPTEX REDSCAN Railway Crossing Solution Gathers Steam

PTEX REDSCAN laser detection technology is at the heart of a new system developed and delivered in the UK by Tew Plus, a system integrator, to enhance the safety of more than 400 level crossings from Scotland to the South Coast. Following nearly two years of testing, Tew Plus achieved full Network Rail Product Approval for its Level Crossing Obstacle Detector (LIDAR) using the OPTEX REDSCAN as the core detection element. The complete MCB-OD level crossings solution incorporates the LIDAR as the Complementary Obstacle Detector (COD) working alongside RADAR and CCTV surveillance equipment. While the RADAR system is used to detect vehicles or large objects

that can cause damage to the train and endanger the safety of its passengers, the LIDAR system is designed to protect pedestrians or cyclists who could be trapped between the barriers. The system is sensitive enough to detect a nine year-old child standing, laying upon or crossing the track. The signalling system tells the LIDAR system when the level crossing is active, and the detection system scans the crossing area within the barriers accordingly. If the crossing is clear, the signal August 2015

turns green and the train can go through safely. If an object is detected, then the barriers are raised to enable that object (a vehicle or pedestrian) to leave the area before allowing the train to pass. The system is fully automated: if the object

application/ case study

is static and the system has gone through three cycles, a message can be sent to the train driver to proceed with caution at no more than 5 mph to determine what it is obstructing the track. So far more than 60 of the Tew Plusdesigned LIDAR systems have been installed and a further 80 have been sold to Network Rail. The solution is to be rolled out to more than 400 level crossings over the next five years Dave Farman, Product Development Director at Tew Plus, says that the new system has been working to specifica-

tion, “Since the first system was designed in 2012, a number of modifications have been made: trains passing through kick up mud, dust and spray water; the first laser sensors weren’t protected from it and after a while dust covered the sensor lens affecting its performance. “We have therefore added motorised shutters that only open when the barriers are down; the system scans and then shuts just before the train passes. Specific algorithms have also been developed to analyse particular environmental obstacles such as snow building up on the

track or weeds growing up in front of the scanner.” Safety integrity level (SIL) 3 trials are underway in mainland Europe that will enable the LIDAR to become the primary obstacle detector approved to SIL 3 rating. The outcome of the trials should be known in approximately 18 months. REDSCAN is an innovative laser scan detector that will detect a moving object’s position, size and speed and can be programmed to only go into alarm when an object/ intruder enter specific areas.

MOTOTRBO Intelligent Alarm Dispatch gives HSBC Peace of Mind

lobal banking and financial services group HSBC has chosen a MOTOTRBO digital radio system combined with Zonith Alarm Control Software (ACS) for maintenance and security operations at its North London Data Centre. The 200,000 sq ft site houses server rooms that process thousands of banking transactions each day from customers throughout the United Kingdom. Security is thus of paramount importance. In addition, the building in which HSBC’s data centre is housed is designed to comply with the latest environmental and sustainable standards.

Motorola Application Partner Zonith installed its Alarm Control Software (ACS) in the main data centre control room where it is linked to a building management system. When an alarm is raised, the ACS pairs the alarm with the right on-duty employee using an intelligent scheduler. An action filter then determines which competency is required for the specific alarm (fire, security or maintenance, for example), August 2015

ensuring the person with the right skills is alerted. A text message is dispatched immediately over the MOTOTRBO network to resolve the problem. If a particular employee cannot respond to an alarm, it is automatically escalated to the next person on the list, ensuring that the alarm is always despatched to the right person, on time. All alarms are recorded for performance analysis and future process improvement. High priority alarms can also be sent to MOTOTRBO and GSM users simultaneously, allowing on-site users and management to receive the alert and to provide uninterrupted monitoring, including during weekends and holidays. ”This is an advanced alarm dispatch solution that leverages the sophistication of the MOTOTRBO digital radio platform to increase safety and efficiency. Personnel are able to respond to business-critical alarms more quickly and they don’t have

Anviz Vf30, The Perfect Solution for Panasonic’s Factory in Malaysia

nviz Global is providing an access control system for Panasonic’s factory in Malaysia to strengthen security and simplify the time attendance control among the employees through a fingerprint-based VF30 device.

Project background

anasonic Malaysia required the implementation of a reliable and accurate access control system at over 200 doors, an easy to use technology and, highly compatible software which was capable of handling complex timeattendance functions, such as the entries and exits of personnel.

Requirements vs solutions

ardware: Anviz Global’s VF30 – Fingerprint + Card + PW access control device. Software: AIM Software. The device that best suited the task was AnvizGlobal’s VF30, combined with the Anviz’s trademark AIM Software, which allows an independent access control in real-time, record and download files for easier management. To increase the control even more Anviz added an anti-passback system to prevent a person entering into a con-

trolled area from giving his badge to another and allowing his access. The extensive project has started, settling in its first stage 300 units of VF30, therefore, the company can manage all the access control and time attendance from any place by accessing the AIM Software, especially designed to cover their needs. In the reception area, for example, the sliding doors are kept closed at night to increase security; in the morning, through a remote validation the doors are activated again. This solution also allows important budget savings since they now administrate access control for remote

places instead of having to give keys or cards on site. The fabric also needed to restrict some departments, like the Payroll one, due to the confidential information and assets that the unit safeguards. The solution Anviz provides is to grant access only to authorized staff. In case something unusual occurs, the system records the movements of each person, tracks times and in/ out of the employees and finds the source of the problem. Furthermore, the administrator can also block doors to avoid accidents such as the spread of a fire or a robbery, making the factory a very safe place to work.

Unique One-Press Classroom Deadbolt Avoids Door Barricade Dangers QID™ Classroom Safe Haven Solution Maintains Responder Access

ecuritech is promoting safe classroom security and warning of the dangers of door-blocking devices that cannot be opened from the outside by first responders. According to the National Association of State Fire Marshals, some of the proposed solutions for securing classroom doors in the event of a threatening situation “May compromise aspects of life safety.” The organization released a guidance document and safety checklist in March of 2015 with clear recommendations based on a variety of sources, including building safety and fire codes, the School Safety Infrastructure Council, U.S. Department of Justice ADA Standards,

and the Sandy Hook Advisory Commission. Specific reference is made to devices which prevent unlocking and opening from the outside, saying such devices “May place the inhabitants of the room in peril.” In sharp contrast to door-blocking devices, the Securitech QID™ (Quick Intruder Deadbolt) classroom lock was designed to provide a fast, strong safe-haven solution while maintaining access for first responders and other authorized personnel. QID locksets also exceed safe school government standards (FEMA-428/BIPS-07) and comply with all building and fire safety codes. “Schools shouldn’t have to choose between safety and security. Our new QID lock is designed to instantly secure a classroom with the strongest deadbolt protection,” said Mark Berger, President and Chief Product Officer, Securitech, “But it was also designed to maintain life safety, so anyone can exit the classroom quickly and school personnel, law enforcement and first responders can quickly enter by key.” The unique deadbolt locking mechanism in the QID is activated by simply pushing the red button. With one press, August 2015

the person closest to the door can instantly activate both the deadbolt and the lever handle lock. A visual indicator lets the teacher know that the door is secured by the QID deadbolt. It is the only solution that combines the locking lever handle with the deadbolt in a single action for the highest strength and security. The Securitech QID lock is 100% code compliant and presents a number of advantages over other classroom locks. It combines the fast locking of a one inch deadbolt with the single-action egress required for occupant safety. Just as important, the door is always able to be unlocked by key from the outside. This critically important outside key access enables First Responders or other authorized staff to enter the room quickly, if needed – something which classroom door blocking products do not allow. Additionally, virtually no training is required to activate the QID lock. Experts have made recommendations about how to increase the safety and security of our schools. Of these recommended actions, those regarding physical door locks are an immediate and effective solution and one of the simplest to implement. For example,

the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) includes specific recommendations for classroom door locks in its primer for safe school design

(FEMA-428/BIPS-07/Jan 2012). Their first guidance on this topic states that doors should “have a simple locking mechanism, such as a button to push

in, which cannot be locked to prevent egress from the classroom.” The Securitech QID locks are in full compliance with the DHS guidance.

Weeze Airport: Video Security with Eneo IP Cameras

At Weeze Airport in North Rhine-Westphalia IP cameras are integrated in the parking management system and provide security in the ticket areas

eeze Airport opened in 2003 and with 1.8 million passengers (in 2014) it is one of the major international airports in North Rhine-Westphalia. It is located approximately 70 km north of Düsseldorf in the District of Kleve near the A57 autobahn directly on the Dutch border. The main customer of the Lower Rhine airport is the low-cost airline Ryanair, which has expanded the airport into one of its biggest German bases. Over 1,000 people are employed at the airport and in the companies and authorities established here. The airport area contains 7,000 passenger car parking spaces.

he ticket machines on the car park and in the terminal are also in the focus of the video surveillance system for security and service reasons. Full HD network cameras from the PXD2080MIR D Callisto modular dome camera series are in use here that are activated from the control centre. These network-based fixed domes with varifocal lens (2.8-10 mm) with built-in IR LEDs are ideal for day and night use and

feature a coated, scratch-resistant dome. In addition to an integrated motion detector and electronic PTZ control, they are equipped with the Smart MotionZoom and Pointing Zoom functions that are able to capture objects or persons in any position of the image area by a visual pan, which makes them truly ideal for video security applications in ticket areas or at ATMs. Volker Nieraad, the responsible Managing Director of PMS GmbH, is extremely satisfied, both with the integration of eneo IP cameras into the parking management system as well as the mast mounting of the Candid bullet

cameras, “I have seldom experienced such a fast and tidy installation. The eneo ‘Easy Installation’ concept really works perfectly with the AK-4 installation solution for Candid bullet cameras. But what is also impressive, and this is of utmost importance at the end of the day, is the quality of the video imagery.” The extension of the video security system is already planned. What has already been decided is to link multiple external large parking areas to the video control centre in Weeze and the complete video surveillance of the approach to the terminal.

Milestone Video Software Helps Icelandic Harbors Free Up 1,000 Man-hours per Year M ilestone Systems open platform IP video management software (VMS) is being used by Faxaports, The Associated Icelandic Ports, to optimize security, handling cargo and securing ships against immigrant stowaways. Faxaports include Iceland’s main ports for export and import, moving thousands of containers annually to and from international destinations. The majority of all goods imported to the country pass through Faxaports’ harbors, and the number of ships are increasing every year. With the growing traffic volume there is a heightened need to monitor the harbors to avoid accidents when loading and unloading the containers from the ships, and to deal with the growing problem of illegal immigrants using Iceland as a gateway to the United States. Milestone Partner Security Center installed and implemented an efficient solution with Milestone XProtect® Enterprise VMS.

Vdeo Security for Healthcare Geutebruck new industry solution

eutebruck has placed a special focus on industries and their solutions for many years, because correctional facilities have different needs than hospitals or forensics. Geutebruck addresses this with another solution concept: video security for the healthcare industry. Patients and visitors have an important need for security, because concerns about health are already stressful enough. The psyche significantly influences the healing process. Everything

has to fit together perfectly: the medical services, the care, the technology, and protection against direct and indirect health risks and even criminal acts. Only the combination of technology, organization and personnel, adapted to the local conditions, makes an effective security concept possible. The new Geutebruck video security system for the medical industry has been designed as a central part of a comprehensive security solution. With its open interfaces to all other security subsystems it provides key image information at the right time. Applications range from the patient observation in the intensive care unit to access control. In this case, automatically or manually, it is possible to monitor just what needs

to be seen preventively. Under certain circumstances, that can be a great deal. Here, intelligent video analysis provides support, automatically detecting exactly what is required. If an alarm occurs, it is activated, the prehistory saved, the events played back in the live stream and the location/ position displayed in the graphic map. The automatically generated information package makes it possible to clearly assess the situation and take targeted actions. Sometimes the topic is unpleasant, for instance when theft is suspected. It is not important to assess the situation and provide evidence. Geutebruck's effective search algorithms quickly find the recorded incident. Time, date, event type, movement in the frame, fast-forward, rewind for all cameras or just one – the search filter operates with incomparable access speed. Clear evidence is provided in a split second.

Mango has selected Cotein Fire for the installation. “The ultra-sensitivity of VESDAE combined with very long pipe runs to provide wide areas of protection is the right choice for the Mango logistics centre,” commented Oscar Arias, Construction Managing Director with Mango. “VESDA-E is able to provide the very best in protection for our world-class facility. This project uses fewer detectors to cover a very wide area packed with valuable assets. The high ceilings and airflow also provided challenges that VESDA-E was able to solve. Mango logistics are best-in-class and when it came time to select fire protection, VESDA-E was the natural choice,” added Oscar. The new Mango logistics centeremploys state-of-the-art technologies to efficiently inventory and ship the world-class brand. However, with a massive area to protect, ceiling heights August 2015

of 46 meters, and high airflow, smoke detection and fire prevention to protect the valuable commodities posed a unique challenge. Zettler, a leading European safety system integrator, worked closely with Xtralis to deliver the VESDA-E VEU solution, which exceeded all requirements. The VESDA-E series of aspirating smoke detectors are the new generation of VESDA ASD. With sensitivity up to 15 times greater than VESDA VLP, the world’s leading aspirating smoke detector, and provisioning for considerably longer linear and branched pipe networks to protect wider areas whilst allowing convenient mounting for ease of access and maintenance, VESDA-E is the ideal solution for maximum protection in a wide range of applications. A single VESDA-E detector can protect up to 2,000m² with much greater sensitivity and reliability than any detector on the market.

Aimetis Enterprise Manager™ Secures City of Waterloo

Aimetis Enterprise Manager™ provides cloud-based centralized management to streamline IT operations in distributed video deployments

he City of Waterloo has expanded its video surveillance system to include Aimetis Enterprise Manager™ (AEM). AEM is a cloud-based centralized management tool used to deploy software updates, manage settings and monitor system health and performance through an intuitive dashboard. Home to more than 130,000 residents, the City of Waterloo is one of Canada’s fastest growing communities. A long-time user of Aimetis Symphony™ as its video management system, the city has increased the number of locations, servers, and cameras to the level where it

needed additional assistance in ensuring that the system was running without incident. In addition, the city was looking to reduce the time and cost associated with software updates and manually checking remote servers for proper set-up and compliance with corporate policies. “AEM has changed how we manage our security at the City of Waterloo,” said Kevin Lobsinger, Corporate Security & Property Coordinator at the City of Waterloo, “AEM allows us to proactively intervene before a failure. AEM has measurably reduced our operating cost and risk.” AEM helps the city to reduce down

time by identifying problems quickly through a web-based dashboard or automated e-mail notifications. It also supports the city’s initiative to increase compliance as AEM can centrally manage configuration settings that cannot be changed locally on site. The other benefit is that AEM will help the city to achieve the goal of cost saving. Its centralized management reduces upfront configuration and ongoing administrative efforts. As the city continues to grow, AEM will be critical for the city in scaling the monitoring and administration of their multi-site IP video deployment.

Hikvision Protects Pupils Going to School in Dubai 100 school buses for the Dubai-Sharjah-Ajman’s National Charity School equipped with Hikvision CCTV cameras, DVRs and driver LCD screens

etting pupils safely to and from their schools is a worldwide problem. The answer for many schools in urbanized countries is the dedicated School Bus and, in this regard, Dubai’s National Charity School conforms to the norm. Situated in the metropolitan area of Dubai-Sharjah-Ajman, the fastest growing urban area in the Arab world, the school has invested in extra

security for its fleet of 100 buses to enhance the security of all its pupils. Sixty large single- and double-decker buses carry the majority of the children, and each is fitted with Hikvision DVRs and either 2 or 3 Hikvision CCTV cameras to monitor all the seats and the access doors. In addition, all 100 buses and mini-buses are fitted with Hikvision CCTV reversing cameras and a driver’s August 2015

LCD screen for extra security.

The National Charity School

he National Charity School sits close to Dubai International Airport, overlooking the nearby Dubai Creek. The school is the centre of education for about 5,600 pupils and has been in operation since 1983. It’s a co-

educational establishment, providing education from Grade 1 to Grade 12 to pupils in the age range five to 17 years. As a charity school it takes pupils primarily from economically disadvantaged backgrounds that are unable to afford private education. Despite the relative lack of family wealth, the school’s aim is to provide first-class educational facilities and learning resources for the students in order to enable academic excellence and examination excellence.

Ensuring safe transport

o ensure convenience and protection for all pupils, the National Charity School has recently invested

in a school bus fleet. Parents were asked for a nominal fee and, in return, the school has provided 100 modern air-conditioned buses. Conscious of their responsibility to ensure safe transport, the school turned to a local specialist company - Al Arabia Technical Supplies and Contracts LLC – to install reversing camera systems into the entire fleet and a comprehensive CCTV system into the largest 60 buses. “At a first glance the project appeared to be simple,” says Sabri Alkhawaja, Integration Manager at Al Arabia Technical Supplies and Contracts LLC, “The primary requirement was that each of the 60 large buses, whether single- or double-decker, had to be equipped with sufficient CCTV cameras to ensure that all access doors and seating areas were monitored. In addition, all of the buses were to be fitted with external cameras, together with a monitor visible to the driver, for safer maneuvering and reversing. And, naturally, all of the selected equipment had to be robust enough to cope with the harsh operating environment.”

The 100-bus solution

ithin a two month deadline, Al Arabia Technical Supplies and Contracts installed 240 Hikvision DS2CE5582P IR dome cameras, 60 Hikvision DS-8104HMFI-T mobile DVRs and 100 LCD monitors across the 100bus fleet.

August 2015

“Harsh environmental issues of vibration, dust and rapidly-changing extremes of temperature had to be faced by all the pieces of equipment we selected for the project,” says Sabri Alkhawaja, “This was particularly the case for the Hikvision DS-8104HMFI-T mobile DVR that was at the core of the mobile CCTV surveillance system in the 60 large buses. Each receives video feeds from two or three cameras, depending on the bus type, and is equipped with dual SATA HDDs or SSDs, a built-in GPS module, 3G connectivity, a redundant power supply and power-off protection. Importantly, the DVR is capable of being powered by a DC voltage between 6V and 36V, ideal for all vehicle and other mobile applications, and also provides 12V and 5V DC outputs to drive cameras and other associated equipment. In practice, all 60 have performed faultlessly.” Of the 240 cameras, 100 were matched with LCD monitors for reversing and external viewing applications. The remaining 140 cameras were positioned to meet the requirement to monitor all doors and seats – three being used in each of the double-decker buses and two each in the single-deckers. “The DS-2CE5582P IR dome camera is ideal for this type of installation.” says Sabri Alkhawaja. “The IP66 rating allowing it to be used internally or externally and the 12V DC supply is ideally matched with the Mobile DVR. Together with a 20m IR range, true day and night operation and good resolution from the large image sensor, this camera also has the capability to provide high quality video of all the areas surveyed. Finally, the extremes of temperature encountered in the Gulf are not a problem, since it will operate in temperatures as high as 60 °C and as low as -40 °C.

Considerations and Best Practices

Migrating to an

IP-based

Access Control System Reasons to migrate

igrating an existing centralized or distributed legacy Access Control System (ACS) to an Internet Protocolbased (IP) ACS has the distinct advantage of making it easier for an organization to operate, expand, and customize their physical access control infrastructure. In particular, with an IP ACS, an organization can: ● Leverage IP technology to standardize their access control infrastructure, moving away from proprietary wiring and equipment. ● Move intelligence to the door, reducing the number of failure points and streamlining system monitoring and management. ● Simplify future infrastructure expansion and modification, resulting in significant reductions in the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO). ● Integrate all security, access control, and video surveillance into a unified platform with a single interface, thereby providing better facility

monitoring and management. With an IP-based solution, an organization can also take advantage of newer functionalities not available with legacy or more traditional systems. For this reason, the decision to migrate cannot simply be based on a simple like-for-like functional replacement of one system by another but must also take into account how to leverage the new ACS capabilities offered by IP-based solutions, including: ● Efficient multi-site management and monitoring. ● Scaling to greater doors counts over a network. ● Access to Power over Ethernet (PoE) door controllers and more advanced hardware options. ● Using global cardholder management to move to a single card across all sites within an organization. ● Automating cardholder and access rights management using Microsoft Active Directory. ● Leveraging cards that support logical and physical security. August 2015

● Unifying 3rd party solutions over IP as opposed to integrating them using electrical wiring and relays. Traditional physical access control systems are also becoming increasingly expensive to maintain and operate, leading to dramatic increases in system TCO. As legacy ACS components reach the end of their service life or begin failing at an ever increasing rate, the costs associated with maintaining such systems and finding suitable replacement parts greatly increase. In addition, the costs involved in leveraging a legacy system composed of proprietary hardware and software can be greater because an organization has fewer options available for system components and is unable to leverage new, less expensive equipment that offers new and valued benefits. Lastly, because legacy systems typically operate by delivering separate power to each card reader and lock, they are more expensive than an IP ACS that supports PoE to connect and power all IP door controllers, readers, and door locks

white paper

over a standard Cat5e/ Cat 6 cable. PoE controllers also reduce TCO by leveraging IP infrastructure for both communications and power, thereby reducing wiring and labor expenditures, and, as PoE technology evolves, these controllers will be able to support even greater power requirements at the door, such as more powerful locks.

Goals for a migration

aving decided to migrate from an older legacy system to a new IPbased ACS, an organization should keep the following goals in mind when trying to decide on the solutions provider who can best meet their access control needs.

A. Buying a system with a long life span

hen trying to determine the life span of an IP ACS, there are numerous factors to consider: 1. Is the solution non-proprietary and open architecture? a. An open architecture, non-proprietary IP ACS makes it easier to expand and modify the system infrastructure in the future. 2. Does the solution provider have a developed ecosystem of partners? a. Choosing a solution provider with technology partners in such areas as asset management, human resources, enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems, and visitor management ensures greater flexibility and more options during migration and when undertaking any future system expansion or modification. 3. Does the solution provider offer an off-the-shelf software development kit (SDK)? a. An off-the-shelf SDK allows for custom integration and scripting

and makes it possible to develop plug-ins to the IP ACS in the future.

B. Re-using existing equipment

igration to an IP ACS can enhance and protect an organization’s long-term investment in their current security infrastructure by extending the life of existing components and infrastructure and by leveraging new system features and applications. With an IP-based system, an organization can consolidate their ACS assets and bring them onto a single security platform, resulting in reduced costs through the elimination of the need to maintain multiple platforms. Consolidating assets can also improve system integration, performance, scalability, reliability, security, and extensibility.

C. Work in parallel

o avoid unnecessary and costly downtime and to achieve a seamless ACS migration, as much work as possible should be accomplished in parallel before the physical migration. During pre-staging, work should be done in parallel and off-line to build the configuration of the new IP ACS into the software, including mapping the system, importing the inputs/ outputs (IOs) from the system components, like doors, integrating the logic to control the components, and testing IOs and reads from readers prior to migration.

D. Keep downtime to a minimum

hen migrating an existing system, an organization must take into account the impact that downtime will have on system users. Beyond

August 2015

scheduling migration downtime during off-peak hours, it is also important during the selection stage to determine the peak hours during which the ACS must be fully functional, whether the new IP ACS allows for pre-staging, and whether the new IP ACS can be connected to existing doors in parallel to further speed up the cutover period.

E. Ensure that all functionality needed by the end user remains available with the new system

t is important for an organization to review the hardware and software features currently being used in their legacy ACS and to ensure that these features will also be available in the new system. Features that should be analyzed include: ● Scalability, the number of doors currently supported, and the possible number of doors to be supported in any future expansion. ● Cardholder management. ● Access rights management, including scheduling. ● Badge design, including image capture requirements. ● Web client needs. ● Mobile app needs. ● Visitor management. ● Enrolment devices, including USB card readers. In addition to analyzing features, an organization should also look at their current access control workflow and ensure that the solutions provider will be able to at least maintain if not improve the workflow in the new system.

Overview of considerations

www.indiasafe.com

CMYK

he following considerations are intended to help an organization to

CMYK

white paper

evaluate their current legacy ACS and determine how much of that system can be re-used. The results of these evaluations have a direct impact on the decision as to whether a full replacement or a migration with partial or limited replacement is required, the cost of the migration, and the time required for the migration.

Hardware considerations

ny migration from a centralized or distributed legacy ACS to an IP ACS must begin by looking at the current system and evaluating the existing hardware components, starting with the credentials and whether or not the encoded information and card formats can be re-used. Migrating to an IP ACS is made easier if the existing system uses non-proprietary cards and readers, but a good IP ACS can support 3rd party proprietary credentials even when the card format is unknown as long as the reader can output the entire credential data. However, if the existing readers support proprietary communication, then a full replacement of legacy readers will likely be required. It is also important to evaluate whether the existing intelligent controllers and downstream interface panels that connect the card readers and door hardware to the intelligent controller can be re-used. If the existing controllers are open architecture and are supported by a number of security software vendors, then it may be possible to incorporate them into the new IP ACS.

Software considerations

hen evaluating the current software configuration, it is important to determine exactly what needs to be ported to the new system. Consideration must be given to the native data

in the legacy credentials, the tools used to export that information from the current database, and any 3rd party components integrated into the configuration through the SDK. This evaluation is essential for determining a strategy for porting current data to the new database and for integrating 3rd party custom components into the new ACS configuration.

Network considerations

he network needs of the new IPbased system must also be evaluated when considering migrating to a PoE access control solution. Because an IP system places the controller at the door and uses PoE edge devices, migrating involves designing and implementing the proper wiring architecture â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Cat5e/ Cat 6 wiring to the door â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and ensuring that the proper network equipment is in place. In addition, when migrating a distributed system with both local and remote sites, an organization must also consider issues of latency and bandwidth in relation to the speed and security of communication between sites and must ensure that the migration plan fully leverages the network potential of the new IP system.

Wiring considerations

he wiring in a legacy ACS, including reader-to-panel wiring, interface module to controller wiring, and I/O wiring to interface modules, is another important consideration for any migration since it may be possible to re-use some of the existing wiring in the new IP ACS. Prior to migration, it is important to compare the characteristics of the existing cabling, including wire gauge, against the requirements for the new IP ACS equipment. AddiAugust 2015

tionally, if an organization is looking to expand their current ACS during migration, consideration must be given to the extra wiring that will be required since this will add to the overall cost of the project. An organization must also validate reader-to-interface module or controller wiring because standard or non-proprietary reader wiring can typically be re-used, as in the case of readers with a Wiegand or Clock-and-Data interface. However, since proprietary readers often have fewer wires, migrating to non-proprietary readers can require additional wiring, resulting in increased costs. Since it is possible to re-use existing interface module wiring that leverage well known standards, such as RS-485, another important consideration is to validate interface module to intelligent controller wiring.

Power considerations

rior to migration, consideration must also be given to the type of power in place in the current ACS, specifically whether the system is 12V or 24V and DC or AC and whether it can provide enough current for the new hardware components in the IP ACS. And, because the amount of additional power and wiring required can have a significant effect on the overall cost of a migration, an organization must ascertain whether the current system can be used to power the panels and readers in the new IP ACS or if separate power sources will be needed for each component.

Training considerations

ny successful migration to an IP-based system requires comprehensive training on how to use the new software. Therefore, consideration should be given to the type of train-

white paper

ing required for the various ACS users based on their tasks and/ or the client applications they will use with the new IP ACS. Typical users can include receptionists, IT staff, security operators or other personnel, and system administrators, and their training needs can range from operator training to system administration and in-depth technical training.

Support during the migration and later

or any successful migration, it is important to take into account the level of support provided by the integrator installing the new ACS and by the manufacturers and solutions providers whose components will make up the new system. ACS migration requires the expertise of pre-sales engineers to help build the migration plan, technical specialists and field service engineers to configure and support the software and offer advice for migration, and support engineers to address any issues arising after the migration has been completed. With larger or more complex systems, installers and manufacturers should work hand-in-hand to ensure a successful migration.

Steps in the migration process

here are a number of steps involved in the realization of a successful and seamless migration. In the initial steps, the customer – or end user – works with a systems integrator and possibly with manufacturers and solutions providers to build a quote and a migration plan. As the plan is being implemented, technical support and field engineers will be required to design and configure the new IP-based system and to integrate all of the components.

1. Get the facts

he first step for the systems integrator is to put the configuration of the current ACS down on paper, including such details as the location of electrical and telecom closets, wiring, and the type of power currently in place. It is also important to develop a complete list of the hardware components, servers, and networking equipment currently being used in the system and to provide details about current software features that will be required in the new system.

2. Understand the requirements of the new system

n order to develop a successful migration plan, the integrator must understand the following requirements of the new IP ACS: ● Hardware components. ● Software components. ● Network configuration. ● Wiring. ● Power. Understanding these requirements is critical for designing the architecture of the new system.

3. Site survey

he next step is a walk-through of the facility with the customer and the systems integrator – and possibly with manufacturers – in order to ensure that nothing has been overlooked with regards to the existing system and that all of the new system requirements are clearly understood. The site survey can also be the first step in the overall process. The purpose of site survey is to develop a clear picture of the existing architecture and layout of the existing system and wiring, to determine where equipment is concentrated, and August 2015

to measure the distances between access control panels, power sources, and readers.

4. Determine components that can be re-used

complete picture concerning an organization’s current ACS and the requirements for the new system is essential for determining what hardware, software, power, wiring, and networking components can be re-used. For example, it is possible to re-use cards and card readers if the hardware is non-proprietary, which would mean that the new IP ACS could potentially use the information stored on the existing cards.

5. Testing existing components

fter determining what components of the existing system can be reused, such as controllers, interface modules, cards, and readers, either the systems integrator or the manufacturer(s) should test these components to ensure compatibility.

6. Define new equipment needs

ith a clear understanding of what can be re-used from the existing legacy system and what is needed in the new system, the integrator must now determine the new network and access control needs for the IP ACS.

7. Understand the existing databases and data

etermining how to import existing cardholder and credential data into the new IP ACS is the next step in the migration process. So as to fully leverage existing 3rd party software data, technical specialists or field

www.indiasafe.com

CMYK

white paper

engineers will need to export cardholder and credential data from the existing system into a standard or usable file format, such as CSV or Microsoft Excel file. The export process either leverages the current system’s export tool or requires the development of custom scripts to export the data from the database. In addition, the new system should also provide the ability to import data from a standard or usable file format. Since some data manipulation may be required after the export, this should also be taken into account. Before undertaking this process, it is good practice to evaluate the type and format of the exported data.

10. Execute the migration and acceptance testing

8. Plan the migration

o ensure a seamless migration, Genetec is available throughout the migration process, from initial surveying and migration planning to system testing and support. In its role as solutions provider, Genetec provides systems integrators with access to pre-sales engineers, field engineers, and technical support engineers to help with various aspects of a migration.

This open architecture platform also offers customers much more flexibility when it comes to 3rd party system integrations as long as a technology vendor offers software interfaces (e.g., API or SDK) or integration protocols to facilitate the integration process. Genetec’s Synergis Cloud Link appliance, a key component of the Synergis IP ACS, allows customers to execute a

o keep downtime during migration to a minimum, the systems integrator must carefully plan the hardware migration and ensure that as much software and hardware installation as possible is accomplished in parallel. In addition, network configuration and custom development, whether building a bridge to any 3rd party software or developing customized software, must be included in the migration plan. Lastly, the systems integrator must develop a detailed schedule for cutover and for activating the components in the new system.

9. Test the new IP system

n order to ensure a seamless migration, the integrator should undertake a complete walk-through of the new IP system before executing the migration and making it operational. By prestaging the new IP ACS in parallel with the current system, the new system – the software and hardware – can be tested prior to cutover.

ollowing the schedule developed as part of the migration plan, the systems integrator and customer can now begin cutover from the old to the new ACS. At this point, it is important to have manufacturers on standby in case any problems arise with any of the new ACS components. Then, the systems integrator and customer must go through the acceptance test plan to ensure that all of the steps of the migration plan were executed properly and that all of the equipment in the system is working properly.

Farpointe’s New Vandal-Resistant/ BulletResistant Contactless Card Readers Take a Hit Increased access control security from thugs, delinquents, criminals and terrorists

arpointe Data, a DORMA Group Company, the access control industry’s trusted global partner for RFID solutions, has announced that its Guardian vandal-resistant and Gibraltar bullet-resistant contactless proximity card readers are ideal for installations where more durability is required than with a standard proximity reader. They are becoming big hits at schools, universities, correctional institutions, housing authorities, factories, hospitals and other locales where RFID proximity and smart card readers can take a beating. “The quality, durability and reli-

ability of Farpointe Data’s Guardian and Gibraltar Series readers translate into significant financial advantages,” advises Scott Lindley, Farpointe Data President, “In situations that would damage conventional readers, rugged Guardian and Gibraltar Series readers keep performing. As a result, end users eliminate costly repairs or replacements and integrators avoid nuisance service calls. The bottom-line results are compelling, lower total cost of ownership (TCO) and greater return on investment (ROI) over the access control system’s useful life.” Since there are many locations August 2015

where standard housing is simply not enough for an RFID card reader, from standing up to a forklift in a factory, a student trying to tamper with a reader, a felon in a prison or a terrorist at a military base, the Farpointe line-up of Guardian vandal-resistant and Gibraltar bullet-resistant proximity card readers provides the protection needed to keep the access control system up and running. In both types of hazard-resistant readers, protection is greatly enhanced because the electronics are sealed in weather-and tamper-resistant epoxy pot-

Bajolock® Couplers from Smith Flow Control Protect Workers Operating Systems under Pressure T

o prevent accidents when opening couplings under pressure, Smith Flow Control has introduced Bajolock® patented couplers to its product portfolio. Bajolock® couplers are ideal for use in a wide range of industries where it is common for pipes and systems to be under pressure when couplings are opened. It is often hard to determine the residual pressure in the system, and using conventional couplings can be dangerous. With Bajolock, pressure is caught and automatically equalised; any potential harmful residue material

is discharged away from the operator. Bajolock can then be uncoupled easily and safely with a simple twist. It is interchangeable with existing, similar couplers, enabling seamless integra-

tion in plant processes. Smith Flow Control’s Bajolock coupler is designed for use in transfer systems for pressures up to 10 bar (145 psi). It is ideal for a wide range of applications including oil & gas, petrochemical, shipping, pipe, bulk, medical and the food and beverage industry, in addition to road transportation applications. The Bajolock coupler is manufactured according to the Pressure Equipment Directive and bears the CE mark. It is constructed from high quality 316L stainless steel and incorporates market-leading gaskets.

Driving Enterprise PSIM through True SOA Service Oriented Architecture in PSIM Event Processing By Adlan Hussain, VP Marketing, CNL Software

The challenge

velopers to increase flexibility across networks and infrastructure boundaries, expanding capacity, distributing load and removing bottlenecks. Secured published ‘Endpoints’ share the functionality of each service across the deployment, and with linked systems such as accounting or reporting. This enables greater PSIM integration with business systems and processes.

n the physical security arena, information and the speed at which it is delivered are key. It is this guiding principal that sees the huge growth in global PSIM deployments. Where information is key, access to information is vital, and nowhere is this more pronounced than in security. During critical events, it is essential that operators have fast and reliable access to relevant security assets, and pertinent information. Failure to deliver this information is not an option. In any PSIM deployment, the day-to-day information load is relatively minimal. The challenge is the response to a sudden surge in this load, caused by a critical event or disaster scenario, comprising multiple events happening at the same time. It is in these scenarios that a PSIM solution will need to provide the highest level of assurance that all information required will be available when needed. In addition, the solution will need to remain highly responsive, providing essential intelligence and data analysis, to enable security operators to react and respond immediately.

How does SOA help PSIM?

OA enables a PSIM application to process event data in real-time, as well as update operators and security personnel with the information they need both in the control room and in the field. The use of independent stateless services provided by SOA brings new levels of availability, performance and capacity, while also improving disaster recovery of the PSIM solution. These are built into the application architecture, so are intrinsic before considerations are made at the platform or infrastructure level. This same stateless nature reduces the cost of growth, maintenance, and future HA/ DR concerns, reducing the overall Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) of a PSIM deployment.

What is Service Oriented Architecture?

ervice Oriented Architecture (SOA) simply put is a series of methodologies adopted to create separate software modules which, while interoperable, are independent to one another. This is referred to as ‘Loose Coupling’ and is essential to an enterprise level SOA based solution. Each service within a SOA deployment should have a single functional responsibility; such as reporting, authentication or communications. It is this separation of functional units that drives the benefits of SOA. Loose coupled services allow deAugust 2015

he availability of data and the response to it are essential to a successful security operation. Information should be available to operators in real-time. However, as deployments and security operations grow, too much information can lead to information overload. This dramatically reduces the effectiveness of security resources.

Diagram 1: Decision accuracy v. Information load

Diagram 3: Simple IPSecurityCenter SOA structure

The follow up to an incident needs to be tightly aligned to standard operating procedure (SOP) while remaining unobstructed, allowing delivery of mission critical information and analysis to security personnel, without the need for manual intervention. Security operators need to react as soon as possible to events and the slightest delay can seriously impact the outcomes. Waiting for a PSIM system to catch-up is not an option. Identifying four key areas that form the PSIM event pipeline is imperative, as is addressing each individually, refining and optimizing the way a PSIM behaves in each area, providing complete situational awareness, in the fastest possible time. These are: 1. Event collection. 2. Event filtration. 3. Intelligent analysis. 4. Alarm/ response generation.

Solid SOA by design

PSIM vendor who adopts true SOA understands that each service needs to be optimized for performance in its area of functional responsibility within the larger system. This is not however, where the only benefits of SOA end. A PSIM event pipeline is only as good as the weakest link in the chain, so it is essential to apply the same innovation and attention to detail in the links between its services. Events throughout a true SOA PSIM deployment should traverse services in its architecture via messaging queues. These queues ensure that the first message delivered to a service, is the first message processed. Most software developers simply select a queuing technology, and apply it throughout their solution. All messaging technologies are not equal. Some are geared for speed, some for reliability, and some for flexibility. A well architected SOA solution should utilize the most appropriate technology at each communication boundary, making best use of each to allow the solution to process events smarter, faster and unobstructed. It is essential that each queue is wrapped with intelligence to ensure that no event is lost, every event is processed, analysed and logged as necessary to provide the best security response in real-time. These wrapped ‘Intelligent Queues’ rely on the messaging system that underlines its SOA implementation, thus ensuring every event and message ends up in the right place at the right time. Even bad messages are collected, stored and logged, within ‘Poisoned Message Queues’, allowing for the analysis and reporting of bad messages within a system. In any system that does not provide this functionality operations would be brought to a standstill as services failed to cope with the corrupted, or ‘Poisoned’ messages. This also brings about an increase in security, as any messages that do not conform to precisely the structure and content expected are isolated and stored, therefore unable to have any performance effect on the overall PSIM solution.

Diagram 2: PSIM event pipeline

Implementing SOA in a PSIM ensures each of these vital steps within the event pipeline is separated into individual elements as a part of the greater software solution. Each service is concerned only with that step in the pipeline, and as such is developed and refined to excel in that function, unimpeded by other areas of the system. Subsequently, each area is independently scalable, allowing PSIM solutions to scale only where additional capacity is required. This dramatically increases the cost effectiveness of upgrades required by growth in the security deployment. In this SOA environment, each of the services is a completely stateless entity. This means multiples of each service can be added to a deployment to support operational requirements. For example, where High Availability & Disaster Recovery (HA/ DR) is needed, it can be added without having to upgrade the whole solution. Services can be added or removed from a deployment, even dynamically, allowing for 100% uptime during maintenance or dynamic increases in resource availability during those critical ‘Burst’ demands on the systems seen during major incidents.

the specification requirements for the specific service being loaded onto it, rather than requiring multiple expensive core servers for each growth cycle, as is so typical with most non SOA PSIM deployments.

Medium to enterprise deployments

n larger deployments where capacity goes beyond individual units, the cost of scaling is significantly reduced with SOA. Where some deployments require additional core servers to extend capacity, SOA only requires additional service nodes where additional provision is required. Additional nodes are tailored to requirement, investing only in the necessary hardware to provide the capacity needed. Of course in security, planning is always for a major event, not the day-to-day operation of a system, and this is where SOA really shines in the large deployment scenario. Multiple services can be deployed within each hardware region, and dynamically activated, increasing capacity in functional areas of the software to suit demand as it occurs.

Diagram 4: Wider IPSecurityCenter SOA deployment

Cost effectiveness and TCO reduction through SOA

OA not only offers a more robust solution, but also a more cost-effective one. Whether at the small scale, or enterprise level, the benefits of SOA to the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) of a PSIM deployment can be realized. These benefits reduce the cost of solutions for both integrators and end users alike. The key benefit here is that each service can be deployed on hardware tailored to suit its needs. This significantly reduces the cost of hardware as over-specified, under utilized hardware becomes a thing of the past. Excess capacity, can optionally be utilized by instances of other services, to realize the full return of investment on hardware and infrastructure.

Are all PSIM solutions based on SOA?

Thermal Imaging Cameras A new Tool for Securing Marinas

Providing secure facilities and keeping marinas a safe environment, should be a basic responsibility of marina management. Protection can be achieved through a combination of security policies, controlled access, observation, and user awareness. Although it has not reached epidemic proportions yet, crime is a growing threat to recreational boating. Modern boats are equipped with state-of-the-art electronic systems for navigation and other items. They often also have a state-of-the-art video and sound system, jet-skis and a lot of other expensive equipment that any robber would love to steal

arina crime prevention, just like home or business crime prevention, is a matter of detecting potential risks and eliminating them. Most crimes occur when criminals find a safe and easy opportunity to strike. Most of the time, this happens in full darkness, under cover of the night. Continuously, fully lighting up a marina during night-time is not always the best solution. Installing supplementary lighting is often expensive. Powering and maintaining it can be very costly. In some sensitive locations it is also considered too intrusive. Furthermore, lighting essentially lays out a route of attack for intruders, creating shadows in which they can hide and gain access undetected.

imaging. Thermal imaging is the use of a thermal imaging camera to ‘see’ thermal energy emitted from an object. Thermal, or infrared energy, is light that is not visible to the human eye because its wavelength is too long to be detected. It’s that part of the electromagnetic spectrum that we perceive as heat. Thermal imag-

aging needs no light whatsoever to produce an image on which the smallest of details can be seen. Thermal imaging provides full visibility irrespective of the prevailing light level and weather conditions. It can see in total darkness, through light fog, in the far distance, through smoke and is able to detect anyone hiding in the shadows. It is an excellent tool for security and surveillance applications in marinas.

Affordable technology

ecent evolutions in detector technology have made thermal imaging much more accessible and affordable.

A typical example is the use of thermal imaging in cars to facilitate night-time driving. With its latest generation of thermal imaging cameras, FLIR Systems has opened up the wide potential of this versatile technology to all. Typical of this new breed is the FLIR Systems SR-19 security camera that provides a brand new weapon for intruder detection and for which there simply is no competitor. It is primarily designed for perimeter surveillance and asset protection. It is a great tool for marina surveillance during any part of day, in all weather conditions.

This way the user can direct the camera to have it look wherever he wants, from a distance. Various options exist to connect FLIR Systems thermal imaging cameras and to integrate them in already existing security systems in marinas. They can be configured for stand alone use, as part of a network or in a hybrid configuration with local and network based control. Most FLIR Systems thermal imaging cameras can be integrated in any existing CCTV infrastructure providing early detection and visibility 24/7 all the year round. They can be integrated in a TCP/ IP network and controlled over a PC. No need to put extra cables. This way, you can monitor all activity in a marina over the internet even when you are thousands of kilometers away.

Automatic threat detection software

utting someone behind a screen to monitor activities during the night is not always the preferred solution. For threat detection in marinas and monitoring if no-one is accessing them, powerful autonomous threat detection software exists. Operators can define a variety of triggers based on movement in the scene. It can easily be programmed that certain lights switch on if suspect motion is detected or that a security guard is warned to have a look at the scene. This intelligent video decision making software coupled with the thermal imaging power of a FLIR Systems thermal imaging camera presents an extremely reliable automatic threat detection package.

Reshaping the EMEA Region for Access Control

n the heels of the recent announcement that Kaba and DORMA would merge, comes the news that Allegion plans to acquire SimonsVoss from HgCapital. This latest merger would again reshape the access-control market in Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA). The merger of Allegion and SimonsVoss would immediately create the second largest company in the EMEA region, after the market leader, Assa Abloy. The merged Kaba and DORMA would then rank third in the region. SimonsVoss, the world’s largest supplier of digital cylinder locks, currently has limited penetration in the Americas, so this move will certainly help the company enter this highly competitive region. Furthermore, the acquisition will help create a more well-rounded portfolio for both companies. IHS estimates that the majority of SimonsVoss revenues are generated from electronic locks and

credentials, while Allegion has a more diverse portfolio that spans wall readers, panels, software and electronic locks. For the overall electronic accesscontrol market, larger companies are starting to come together to provide seamless solutions, increase in-house expertise and expand the supply chain with a global focus. There have been many mergers in the past; however, most were regional and specific. We are now seeing many more high-value acquisitions that immediately affect market share rankings. If access-control companies continue to merge and expand in this manner, the move toward more open standards may take a step backward, because endusers will have wider product ranges and greater expertise from a single source. Even so, IHS expects these types of acquisitions will continue, as suppliers bolster their positions, not only on a re-

gional basis, but also to take advantage of end-user growth (e.g., residential, utilities, healthcare) and services (e.g., ACaaS and VSaaS). It remains to be seen if video and access-control companies will cross over and provide a more fully integrated solution, or if companies will continue to enrich their current portfolios on a more linear path. One key acquisition strategy could be centered on capabilities and expertise across multiple disciplines. Today it is becoming increasingly crucial for companies to have IT, software and platform expertise, in addition to equipment. These acquisitions will increasingly focus on helping companies expand beyond components. Note: This most recent merger still requires approval, by the German Bundeskartellamt, which prohibited a planned merger of Assa Abloy and SimonsVoss back in 2008.

New MX1000 system is engineered for security installations prone to dust, debris, shock, vibration, extreme temperatures and the rigors of transportation applications

MX1000 is optimized for performance with XProtect® VMS software. The certification documentation presents a summary of the results of the testing process. The certification consists of three phases, beginning with two scenarios, where there is both a benchmark test and a maximum performance test. During each test, statistics from the Milestone XProtect recording servers are gathered to judge the performance of the system as a platform for video recording. These tests serve to identify that a given system meets minimum expected performance thresholds based on known benchmarks. The certification also measures the maximum number of cameras, at a given frame rate, resolution and codec that can be supported by the server and storage system.

This exciting new format provided visitors to IFSEC International with a detailed look at these new products that are delivering a real benefit to end users, integrators and installers. IFSEC International 2016 takes place from 21-23 June at ExCeL London.

Residential Market for Intrusion Equipment in EMEA Expected to Surpass $500 million by 2019

espite a sluggish start in 2015 the EMEA (Europe, the Middle East and Africa) residential market for intrusion equipment is expected to exceed $500 million in annual market revenues by 2019, according to a new report from IHS Technology (NYSE: IHS), entitled “The Market for Intruder Alarms – 2015.” The residential sector is forecast to grow at a CAGR of 3% from around $440 million in 2014, as presented in the figure. The residential market is currently

being negatively affected by the current political instability in Ukraine and surrounding areas of Eastern Europe however as these pressures and the corresponding economic uncertainty subside, IHS predicts stronger growth driven by recovering construction rates, a greater availability of disposable income and the increasing popularity of wireless products and home automation in Western Europe. The evolution of the smart home and smart security systems has already started to take form across the Atlantic in the US, which is not only increasing the penAugust 2015

etration rate/ installed base of products but is also increasing the average spend of consumers. The capability to integrate a control panel with the smartphone offers benefits to users such as getting an alert when the alarm is turned off from children getting home from school or the ability to remotely arm the system. This increased functionality has become a key driver of market growth. In EMEA, energy management remains the leading driver for consumer demand due to government incentives and the lure of a financial return on in-

vestment for the consumer; security is only a secondary thought in purchasing a home management system. However in a similar fashion to that of the US market, a number of European MSOs are beginning to test the water with new smart security offerings. Orange introduced its ‘Inteligentny Dom’ product to Poland in 2013 and its ‘Homelive’ Z-Wave product to France in 2014 while SRF also rolled out its offering ‘SRF Home’ to France in mid-2014. However these companies are still at the ‘pilot’ stage of market entry, and IHS believes it could take up to 2 years before there is any significant impact on the residential market. There is evidence to suggest that the more traditional suppliers of the European intrusion market are also looking to capitalize on the shift in demand – just under a month ago in London manufacturers provided IFSEC with a whole

range of new building automation and wireless products to showcase. Thermostats, cameras, intercoms, environmental sensors, lighting were all on display as well as brand new technology in the form of wireless photoelectric security detectors. The entry of MSOs to the home security space is also expected to speed up

the transition towards a greater use of wireless security products; wireless sensor and control panel sales in particular are expected to grow at a faster rate than previously predicted. Significant improvements to battery life, a greater availability of affordable products and increasing labor costs are also facilitating this trend.

Global Command and Control Room/ PSAP Market to Reach $7 Billion by 2019 A

ccording to a recently published IHS report (Command and Control Rooms/ PSAPs Market – 2015) the global market for command and control room technologies and services is projected to exceed $7 billion by 2019. As expectations towards emergency response change, further development of control rooms will be critical to handle the capabilities of future technologies. Along with changing legislation and initiatives such as Next Generation 911 and 112 and FirstNet, the market has become more dynamic, offering tremendous opportunity to suppliers who can enhance current technology. Due to demand from major multinational LMR solution providers, the IHS Critical Communications team initiated and has continued

research on the command and control room market covering its three biggest verticals: public safety, transportation and utilities. Because of the variation in the regional command and control room markets, IHS splits the study by region: Asia, EMEA, Latin America, and North America. Each report analyzes the revenues of critical control room technologies including CAD, GIS, voice dispatch, and others as well as various types of services. Additionally, IHS measures the installed base of control room systems and seats on a country by country basis. Each major region has unique trends with regard to command and control, a few of which stand out among the ma-

jor findings. Across public safety, transportation, and utilities is an increasing interest in analytical applications and data analysis. IHS has observed a number of tenders surrounding CAD solutions for instance, where law enforcement agencies have desired a wider range of data inputs and applications. A second trend, in more mature markets, is a movement toward service-oriented tenders due to the desire to optimize current technologies. As such, services have become a substantial part of the market in these regions. Finally, there is huge growth potential across technologies and services in the Indian and Chinese markets, which IHS believes will increase to approximately $929 million in 2019.

Electronic Locks Dominate the Access Control Industry

lectronic locks have evolved significantly since the 1970s when they were used mostly in hospitality and relied upon holes that were drilled into the cards themselves. Three decades later, electronic locks are now one of the fastest growing segments of the access con-

trol industry and have unmatched versatility. These lock types can be constant online wireless, semi-online wireless, data on card, Wi-Fi or be ZigBee, ZWave or Bluetooth or NFC compatible. In 2015, IHS forecasts the global market for electronic locks will exceed August 2015

$1 billion. IHS segments electronic locks into three categories: mechatronic, electromechanical and digital cylinder. Of the three product categories, IHS expects that electromechanical locks will see the most uptake over the next 5-8 years, representing nearly 77% of

www.indiasafe.com

CMYK

International Updates

the total electronic lock market globally in 2015. For electromechanical locks, IHS expects that the residential market in North America will be a driving factor over the next 3-5 years – as more multisystem operators (MSOs) and traditional monitoring providers look to offer electronic locks not only as an ad hoc option but as part of its existing packages. Although electromechanical locks are by far the largest, the most growth will be associated with mechatronic over

the next five years. Mechatronic locks are often used in remote and harsh locations where battery life can be threatened, so the battery is in the key and in some cases, these devices require no battery at all – only a special key to initiate an authorization. Global unit shipments are expected to triple for mechatronic locks from 2014 through 2019. One reason for this forecast is the rate at which IHS expects utilities and telecommunications to adopt electronic security.

Enhanced security, audit trails, compliance and efficiency are just a few of the reasons why these end-user industries are looking to electronic security. In remote environments, electronic locks can also be used to protect contractors and workers. If a door is propped open or a request to exit read does not occur after a predetermined amount of time, an alert can be generated. Overall, IHS expects that electronic locks will continue to play an important role in all access control solutions moving forward. By 2019, IHS forecasts that electronic locks will exceed the revenue of both the readers and panels market, making it the largest segment for electronic door access control. Similar to other trends occurring in the access control industry such as TCP/IP (IT integration), logical access control and open standards, suppliers and channel partners that embrace wireless lock integration with traditional wall readers will gain the most over the next 5 years.

Allegion to Acquire Korean Electronic Lock Company Milre Systek

Rapid Growth in Global Video Surveillance Market Continues in 2014 T he world market for video surveillance equipment grew by 14.2% in 2014. This is according to recently published estimates from IHS Inc., through its Video Surveillance Intelligence Service. This is a higher rate than IHS was forecasting back in December (it was forecasting 10.7% back then). The difference is down to higher than expected growth in China. EMEA, Americas, and the rest of Asia all grew at slightly lower rates than forecast in December. Slightly lower growth in the global market is forecast for 2015, at 9.5%. Product demand will continue to grow quickly but price erosion will impact revenues. This will mean that the world market for video surveillance equipment will be worth $15.7 billion in 2015*. IHS has just added new global and regional market statistics, forecasts and

market share estimates to its Video Surveillance Intelligence Service. In addition to the above, other key findings include: ● A number of Chinese vendors continued to rapidly gain market share in regions outside China in 2014. They tend to offer products with low prices and this has been a major factor in average price erosion in those regions. ● China is estimated to have been the largest regional market for video surveillance equipment, accounting for almost 40% of global revenues in 2014. ● In terms of revenues, the market for network cameras was almost two and a half times the size of the analogue camera market in 2014. However, only around 40% of all security cameras shipped were network cameras

August 2015

100

in that year. Unit shipments of network cameras are forecast to first exceed those of analogue cameras in 2015. ● The market for network cameras with 4 megapixels and above grew rapidly in 2014. Growth in demand for 180/ 360 degree network cameras was the major reason. 4K cameras will increasingly contribute to the category over the forecast period. ● The supply base for video surveillance equipment remains highly fragmented. In 2014, the top fifteen vendors accounted for just 52% of revenues. A large number of small vendors accounted for the rest. Only one vendor had a market share greater than 7%.

Housing Market in China Welcomes Electronic Locks

hina’s electronic lock market is forecast to grow quite fast at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13 percent, from 2015 through 2019. The residential sector will be the key driver of overall category growth, with a CAGR of 17 percent, during the same time period, according to the IHS Access Control Market Intelligence Service. To control fast rising home prices in China, at least five sets of nationallevel real-estate market regulations were released in 2010. As a result, new construction activity has slowed. Even so, the electronic lock market within the residential sector continued to grow quite quickly, for the following reasons: ● China’s current penetration in residential locks is quite low, so there is a

lot of potential for growth. Currently residential locks have been adopted by real estate developers for installation in high-end apartment projects in tier one and a few tier two cities. ● Real estate developers prefer to add more selling points, especially when the market is not as strong. ● High profits for electronic locks attract more suppliers from upstream and downstream in the industry supply chain, leading to more severe pricing competition. The average selling price for biometric locks and smart-card locks was estimated to decline by over 10 percent in 2014, making electronic locks more affordable to end users. ● Sales channels are expanding. CurAugust 2015

102

rently, real estate developers are the key channel for door locks in China, holding a share over 95 percent. Some manufacturers have started to reach end users directly via e-commerce websites. ● Brands have less influence on end users, so no matter how big the supplier is, they do not like to invest in market education, because there are no direct benefits to them for doing so. Generally the electronic lock market in the residential sector is still in its early stages. The market is expected to grow over the next five years, with more players entering the market and more focus on the demand for residential locks in China.

International Updates

Avago Technologies Acquisition of Broadcom Creates New Semiconductor Powerhouse, IHS says M Quadrupling in size in two years T erger activity in the semiconductor industry moved to a new level with the announcement of the agreement for Avago Technologies to acquire Broadcom, according to IHS, the leading global source of critical information and insight. The deal, which is valued at $37 billion in cash and stock, will create a new company valued at $77 billion. “This is the latest and, by far the largest, merger in the semiconductor industry, as major players continue to move in an aggressive way to establish position and profitability in key segments of the industry,” said Dale Ford, Vice President and Chief Analyst for IHS Technology, “Investors have responded favorably to the announcement, with promised bottom-line benefits derived from realized cost savings.” The combined revenues of the two companies in 2014 exceeds $14 billion, making the newly merged semiconductor company the sixth-largest globally, according to final annual semiconductor market shares. More significantly, the combination of the two companies creates the third-largest semiconductor supplier, trailing only Intel and Qualcomm, if memory integrated-circuit (IC) revenues are excluded. “The complementary product portfolios of the two companies move them into a powerful position, in both the communications IC market and the storage IC market,” Ford said.

his latest move from Avago Technologies has formed a company with revenues four times greater than in 2013. The two biggest recent mergers by Avago Technologies were the acquisition of LSI in 2014 and this new acquisition of Broadcom. The mergers increase the company’s strength in the communications and storage categories. Outside of these two areas, Broadcom has a much smaller presence in consumer electronics and industrial electronics and almost no revenue from other data processing and automotive electronics.

Communications focus

he newly merged Avago-Broadcom will dominate the market, commanding 40 percent of the wired communications IC market, excluding memory. Revenues for this category in 2014 were more than five times larger than the next largest supplier, Intel. The merged company will boost its share of the wireless communications IC market to nearly 8 percent, ranking

August 2015

103

fourth behind Qualcomm, Samsung Electronics and MediaTek. With an overall market share of 14 percent for all communications ICs, the company ranks second, trailing only Qualcomm and ahead of Samsung Electronics. The strength of the merged Avago/ Broadcom in the wired communications market positions it to benefit from the strong projected market growth. The five-year compound annual growth rate (CAGR) for wired communications is 7 percent, leading all other market segments. On the other hand, semiconductors used in wireless communications products is projected to go through a period of weak growth at only 2 percent CAGR over the next five years. “The size of the combined company could give it a strong position to increase its market share over this time,” Ford said.

Cost savings rolling to the bottom line

he companies predict $750 million in annual cost synergies in 18 months. A quick look at the distribution of their revenues shows that 66 percent of Avago Technologies’ revenue comes from products shipped to the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region, for use in electronics production. Broadcom derived 93 percent of its revenues from APAC shipments of its ICs. “The alignment of the supply chain between the two companies will facilitate the projected savings,” Ford said.

The enclosure also allows shallow devices such as patch panels to be horizontally mounted, or deeper switching units mounted vertically.

Geutebruck’s G-Scope in XXXL!

Databases without limits... igher, faster, further is the order of the day and our market is no exception. For this reason, Geutebruck is now adding two powerful devices to its GScope/ 8000 Expert Servers: The GScope/ 8000-IP16SAS with its integrated RAID system can accommodate up to 16 hard drives. The integrated RAID controller can not only control the internal RAID systems, it can also manage up to 15 G-Scope/ 8000-JB16 type external JBODs (HDD enclosure), each with up to 16 hard drives. Database sizes of 256 TB can be easily implemented. But along with size always comes the question of controllability. Access

times are important parameters that greatly affect ease of use. This is where the G-Scope/ 8000 sets a new standard: Even at the maximum database size of 256 terabytes, images are available again after a restart in just about one minute. Searching for events brings up results in just a few seconds. The operator has no reason to notice the size of the database. A high level of reliability and availability are essential at such a system size. In the G-Scope/ 8000 series with redundant components and server operating system, they are a matter of course. Configuration of the system with RAID level 6 and 1 hotspare hard drive is ideal. Thus, even when a hard drive fails, redundancy in the database is still maintained.
