From the Editor-in-Chief

Volume XII • Issue 5 • January 2016 (102 pages including 6 for cover) Editor-in-Chief Lt Col Pritam Singh Mehta (Retd.)

Dear Readers, Greetings from IndiaSAFE! December saw the fruitful culmination to the year with a reasonably successful IFSEC in New Delhi, but 2016 literally started with a bang for the security forces with the terror attack on Pathankot Air Base. While Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar admitted to “Some gaps” he went on to say, “There was no compromise on security.” The attack has created several unanswered questions as of now that leave us wondering – just how secure are our vital national assets? India was muted in her condemnation of the attack and Pakistan was quick to condemn it – clear indicators that both countries are trying to hold on to the delicate breakthroughs they have achieved in recent months. It is a matter of trivial significance if any terror outfit claims the honours for this horrendous act – the attack is a stark reminder that security threats do not abide by any book, and if we want to stay ahead of them, we need to improve our act by several notches. The Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs recently approved the proposal of the Ministry of Home Affairs for extension and revamping of the Crime and Criminals Tracking Network and Systems (CCTNS) Project. Amongst its salient features are the computerization of crime registration, investigation and prosecution etc., in all police stations in the country; the creation of a central database to provide national level search facility as well as crime analytics for use by police and central agencies; the electronic sharing of data/ information among police stations; computerization of all prisons; the provision of citizen services through a Citizen Portal; and the sharing of crime and criminal related data with police, prosecution, courts, prison and forensics leading to an Integrated Criminal Justice System. The CCTNS project is expected to be fully implemented by March 2017. In this month’s issue we bring you an Axis Communications’ white paper on how IP Surveillance Systems Positively Impact Business Energy Usage, along with feature articles on PSIM Market Predictions for 2016 from the CEO of CNL Software, Theia Technologies’ comments on the Increased Demand of 4K, and NUUO’s Retail Solution. At the start of this new year, Team IndiaSAFE wishes its readers safe tidings through 2016 – may it be a year where the sense of reason prevails over the turbulence that can cause so much unnecessary and tragic loss to life and assets. Till we meet in February, stay safe! With warm regards,

Safe Water Network and Honeywell Partner to Provide Access to Sustainable Safe Drinking Water in Telangana Honeywell is sponsoring 25 iJal safe water stations to communities in need in Telangana. SWN has been approved to build a total of 300 water stations in the region

afe Water Network (SWN) and Honeywell India have announced their partnership to provide convenient access to affordable and reliable safe drinking water, to water quality affected communities in Telangana. Funded by a Honeywell India grant, Safe Water Network is building 25 iJal safe water stations in Karimnagar and Adilabad districts from 2015 through 2017. These will serve approximately 60,000 people in an area that suffers acute groundwater contamination from flouride. Ten iJal stations are already operational in Karimnagar district. This initiative addresses a critical need in India where 100 million people live in areas of poor water quality. Telegana is ranked second on a list of states with drinking water problems, with union health ministry data showing 1,174 hamlets across the state affected by fluoride. Water and sanitation-related illnesses account for 70-80 percent of disease, including fluorosis, in this region. Data from a UNICEF study shows that only 35 percent of households in Adilabad district, and 64 percent of households in Karimnagar district, have access to safe drinking water. “Safe Water Network is focused on developing solutions to provide safe, affordable water for today, and for years ahead. Together with Honeywell, we are improving the lives of 60,000 people in

Safe Cities: IFSEC India’s Advocacy for Industry 9th edition witnesses over 25% increase in visitors over last year

BM India successfully concluded the 9th International Fire & Security Exhibition and Conference (IFSEC) India Expo 2015, a three-day security and fire safety show (10-12 December) in Delhi. The show brought together internationally renowned exhibitors, consultants, business experts and key government officials on one common platform, to discuss global best practices and seek solutions to some of the most pressing challenges in the security & fire safety industry. “We need better security systems

this is somewhat mandatory in the current scenario. This kind of show gives us a choice from a wide spectrum under one roof. I surely could sense that there is interesting equipments displayed that could be seriously considered for home security and public safety,” said Manish Sisodia, Deputy Chief Minister, Government of Delhi while inaugurating the show. In addition to the expo, UBM India hosted a one-day conference along with panel discussions based on the theme of ‘Safe Cities’: January 2016

Chennai floods and its handling by the authorities lending a suitable setting to derive both hypothesis as well as improvement areas on which disaster management authorities could work upon. The need for developing a response mechanism for communication needs during emergencies was one of the central themes of the session and received unequivocal support from the panel. ● The possibilities which IoT, the critical technology fuelling the smart city dream, could help unlock for security applications was also part of the conference’s major highlights. The need to develop inter-disciplinary alliances as well as enabling through added functionality management of invasiveness in IoT-based applications was empha-

sized during the session. ● The panel discussion on security in public transport was one of the liveliest with the need of face-recognition and 360 degree cameras being equally underscored by panellists in instances like baggage theft and nabbing criminals accessing the public transport system while also posing danger to fellow passengers. Speaking on the successful edition of the expo, Yogesh Mudras, Managing Director, UBM India said, “In today's Indian landscape, security and surveillance requires rapid augmentation amidst industrial, commercial and residential establishments. UBM India’s objective for IFSEC India 2015, an offshoot of IFSEC Global which has a legacy of over 40 years, was to bring to the forefront this need and in response,

the required solution offerings based on new technology to strengthen security in these establishments. Backed by the success of its past editions, the 2015 edition of IFSEC India which has today undoubtedly become the pre-eminent authority on the global security and fire industry, has exceeded industry expectations.” Over 300 companies from 20 different countries from security and fire participated including Premier Plus partners such as Aditya, Autocop, Dahua, Enter, Hi-Focus, Hikvision, Lookman, Secureye, Securico, Tech Smart, Uniview and Zebronics; and Premier partners such as Acsys, Advik, Avtron, Com-Sur, Godrej Security Solutions, Honeywell, Infinova, Keeper, Messung, Milestone, MR Impex, Nitgen, Ozone, Panasonic, Starex Global and Wavesight.

3-5 Trends that will Impact/ Drive the Segment where NEC Operates in the Year 2016 N

By Koichiro Koide MD, NEC India

EC has over a century of experience in technological innovation to empower people, businesses and society. With our rich experience and deep knowledge in both telecom network and IT technologies, we have seen a continued demand for our carrier network business in India. Statistics have shown that India is currently the world’s second-largest telecommunications market and has registered strong growth in the past decade and half. Strong consumer demand has in turn created rapid growth in the Indian telecom sector, and has raised customer expectations of a better quality network experience. January 2016

The growing adoption of 4G and beyond mobile wireless services, is challenging mobile service providers with the need for rapidly deploying high speed, flexible, scalable and highly reliable backhaul with CAPEX and OPEX optimized for ensuring least TCO (Total Cost of Ownership) and high network performance. NEC has been in the forefront of developing and providing highly field proven, reliable wireless backhaul solutions through NEC's PASOLINK series of microwave radios, for service providers. In this regard, we will leverage on our global capabilities and resources to provide latest technology &

services to telecom operators to continuously contribute towards supporting the infrastructure of telecommunications business in India. Most recently, the Indian government has been promoting its urban transformation, putting great emphasis on creating smart cities and security. Ensuring and maintaining safety and security of a nation is crucial for citizens, as well as to attract business growth and investment opportunities to boost the economy. As one of the first companies to promote the Smart City concept, NEC believes that ICT is crucial to create a sustainable and secure society. We created our motto – We Make Cities Safer – to reflect our commitment to help cities respond to challenges that arise during the development of urban and industrial infrastructure. Biometric recognition technologies such as fingerprint and face recognition will serve an important role in providing services that are highly secure and convenient. NEC's biometric technology is used in 40 countries worldwide for fighting crime, preventing fraud and improving public safety. NEC's face recognition technology is independently recognized as among the fastest and most accurate

facial matching software according to latest tests done by National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). In India, NEC has already successfully deployed our advanced Face Recognition System in Surat Safe City for Surat Police, and at Lemon Tree Premier, Delhi Airport in India. These solutions empower security teams to prevent crime by offering real-time blacklist and white-list management using highly intelligent live CCTV feed analysis. Furthermore, we are also working with the Government of Andhra Pradesh to provide comprehensive safety and security solutions in the city of Tirupati. NEC’s Face Recognition System is also widely used in public transportation networks for security surveillance where the software is able to capture CCTV or archived footage in real time, assess, match and allow organisations to react accordingly to the outcome of the success of the facial match. These outcomes or actions can be configured to crosscheck against databases for a positive or negative match to enable quick response to threats, for example. A smart, connected urban mobility can improve quality of life for city dwellers. An efficient and reliable public

transport system will support the growth of a city, creating a more sustainable and liveable society. Security and safety are two key areas that concern authorities, especially with the daily movement of thousands of passengers and vehicles throughout the network. NEC’s suite of smart transportation solutions such as traffic monitoring and bus fleet management enhances the efficiency of the operator, making the rides safer and more efficient for passengers and drivers. In an increasingly online and borderless world, governments and enterprises face significant and difficult challenges in determining appropriate security measures: how to protect information resources from increasingly advanced and sophisticated cyber attack happening 24/7, and how to minimize damage during security breaches. NEC’s partnership with INTERPOL is a true recognition of our proven capability in the field of cyber security. Leveraging on our years of knowledge and technologies cultivated over 20 years together with know-how obtained through operation of the Cyber Security Solution, we have been making efforts in researching new security applications to serve governments and enterprises.

PSIM Market Predictions for 2016 By Keith Bloodworth – CEO of CNL Software

egularly recognized by major publications as one of the most influential people in the security sector, Keith Bloodworth, CEO of CNL Software has been a leading visionary within the security industry for over a decade. As a founding partner of Axis Communications, now leading the move to intelligent IP based solutions, he reviews what was happening in the PSIM world in 2015, primarily looking at the security and facilities market and his market predictions for these markets in 2016.

The market, changing threats and changing players

015 has seen the rise of more terrorist related tension in the Middle East, in Europe and now in the USA. Together with the understanding of having joined up security systems, it is driving up the need for increased situational awareness. Demand by Government agencies and major global cities for large-scale centralized operations to deal with major incidents is growing rapidly. India alone is planning significant unified projects in 80 cities, while Israel, Turkey and China all have ambitious plans for creation of Safe as well as Smart Cities. Information is a key factor in dealing with issues relating not just to terrorism, but also to natural disasters and day-to-day security. Public safety is high on most political agendas and across the Enterprise markets, physical and logical security is be-

coming a Board level priority. As the security market continues to grow worldwide, traditional markets such as the US and Western Europe are steadily expanding their capabilities, while newer markets such as China, India and the Middle East are investing at a much faster pace. The new markets are mainly IP based integrated solutions, which has brought about many significant changes, not least of which is a shake-up of the VMS and CCTV camera markets. New product entrants from Asia, China in particular are undermining the traditional camera markets with quality products at lower prices than traditional suppliers. As a result of margin erosion, hardware for most security applications, is rapidly becoming a commodity. Markets have seen significant consolidation of VMS and camera manufacturers. Following on from Tyco acquiring Exacq and Canon acquiring Milestone, M&A highlights in 2015 include the Hanwha partial acquisition of Samsung Techwin, Canon’s acquisition of Axis Communications, Panasonic acquiring VideoIQ, and most recently Flir’s acquisition of DVTEL. The ‘old’ world order in security is gone and a new set of global players are arriving. These players are causing traditional system integrators to compete, with lower margins and more volume as the new way to do business. This, in turn, creates new challenges for the System Integrators to be part of January 2016

the value chain, as they may have to invest heavily in IT skills to meet any IT/ IQ way of working. VMS’ are becoming more intelligent, video analytics are now becoming more feasible as clients begin looking for complete solutions rather than individual products. Complex integration of multiple systems, such as VMS and ACS with other sub-systems like perimeter protection, will demand rules based PSIM solutions to manage increasing volumes of disparate to provide better awareness and management of any situation; providing end users with one well-presented and managed Enterprise solution.

2015, fastest year of growth for CNL Software

NL Software has had a great year, its fastest growth to date, mainly based on industry recognition for our two most valuable assets, our people and our products. With record order levels, the company is expanding fast in order to manage these levels of sales. Our view is this is not a ‘blip,’ but a trend as we are also seeing the highest level of bids and tenders where PSIM is a named component of a mission critical or Enterprise security solution. So much so, we are ramping up our pre-sales capabilities in all regions in order to support our channel partners. With new offices in the UAE and the US, these regions have been the

www.indiasafe.com

CMYK

feature

catalysts for our most significant growth since inception. Our Center of Excellence based in Masdar City, Abu Dhabi is the largest, most complete, full service team of any PSIM vendor in the region and is still growing rapidly to meet the rising demand for our software in the GCC region. CNL Software’s US office, based in Ashburn, Virginia has also been awarded several large wins in the North American market. This office is based in the Washington DC region and has partners for the homeland defense/ state security markets as well as Fortune 100 end users who have moved or are moving to large scale, Enterprise wide, integrated solutions.

2016 predictions based on 2015 projects and bids

ooking forward into 2016, we are seeing greater investment in technology to overcome spending cuts in manpower, particularly in large scale homeland security, state, government and police security operations. Strategic partnerships will be a key driver as the public and private sector work ever closer to identify threats, report them and provide their security infrastructure to resolve them. Simply put, most local governments do not have the financial resources to tackle problems alone so public/ private initiatives will have to grow. Closing the Gaps within Intelligence Security Management: With the continually increasing diversity of security threats across the globe, 2016 will see the emergence of closer integration between all systems within the security disciplines that make up intelligence security management. The lack of deep end-to-end integration between the systems driving the Physical, Personnel,

Communications, Information systems, Security Classification and Operations Security disciplines highlights the need to challenge the mantra of Situational Awareness and accelerate the demand for Situational Intelligence through integrations focused on empowering counterintelligence techniques in preventing situations from occurring or at least providing effective early warning signals. IT/ Hybrid Channel Partners Entering the Market: These will become more prevalent in 2016 and will get their revenues from consulting, software sales and some PSIM implementation. These are more likely to be regional than global to start with, but they represent a new breed of IT/IQ suppliers who are increasingly attractive to end users looking for value based solutions. We are also seeing activities from global IT/ Hybrid players like Atos, KPMG, Wipro, Microsoft, IBM and Accenture. IT Vendors Enter the Market: Large IT vendors will be participants in the security market. This year we have seen activities from Hitachi, Adobe, Oracle, Dell/EMC, HP and Symantec. These are being sold at very high levels within the Enterprise and on a global scale, furthering our belief that the big SIs of the IT market will also soon be entering the security market, linking it to logical security solutions in a one throat to choke basis. Our view is that the more traditional hardware based System Integrators will do the installs (and have the ongoing maintenance), but the complex integration will migrate to expert service partners. 3D Mapping: This has been on the wish list of lots of organizations for some time, but budgets and uncertainty on its usability have limited its growth until now. 2016 will see this change as its adoption increases, bringing costs January 2016

down and simplifying its delivery process. In the near future, 3D will become an affordable viewing platform, but it is not a silver bullet, more of an emerging technology. For the near future, 3D will be for viewing and 2D will be used for visualization of the situational response plans. Camera Analytics:Video analytics and the need for video analytics is growing again. What is different, however, is that there will be a number of absolute industry specialists, like ASV in France for example, who only provide camera analytics for maritime-based needs. CNL Software are also seeing a rise in the requirement for camera analytics connected via PSIM for example in ‘tag and track’ applications. As it requires deep integration with the analytics providers, this is going to separate the real PSIM players from the VMS based entry level PSIMs. Federated Systems: Homeland defense, corporate security, government buildings and mass transit security all vary in the technology they deploy and the challenges they face, but they all have the requirement for escalation procedures and the need for centralized control of processes. This fast growing segment is where we have seen several of our largest orders this year and are generally referred to as “one to many and/ or many to one.” Typically, the development of the responses to alerts/ alarms will be done at the center and then distributed out to the remote locations. The entire network of control rooms can have the ability to operate as discrete systems, but can communicate to the center when required. CNL Software are specialists in the Global Security Operations Center (GSOC), an area of PSIM that requires real scale and focus. Safe Cities: This is another fast

growing segment and will include capabilities for: ● Public/ private co-operations. ● Body worn cameras with mapping to static camera video to create evidence files. ● Multi-tenanted operations centers with interchange of data. ● Social media and tracking capabilities. ● Large scale video aggregation and intelligent video retrieval. ● Large scale asset management across all sub-systems. Internet of Things (IoT): Prepare for lots of hype around IoT but it is something that is on its way; most

people, however, are still not sure what that will be and how it will affect the security industry. CNL Software has joined the IoT Security Foundation and expect that we and others, will be attaching leading SIEM products to ensure the device layers are not providing an attack surface. When the new hybrid channels begin working with largescale corporates and start processing data held in the Scada systems, security and facilities will change from a facilities operation to a business intelligence must have. Scale: Lastly, prepare for scale. Projects are getting larger and larger as they spill over from semi military to home-

land security. PSIM is growing in size and complexity and this will be more visible in 2016.

Summary

015 has seen and recognized a marked change in the threats we are faced with. This is leading to increased focus on intelligence, and will only grow in the coming year, as organizations, both public and private proactively piece together information to understand and eliminate threats before they become incidents. Having the right tools to do this is going to be a market driver in the security market for at least the next 12 months.

4K to see Increased Demand as Higher Standards for Positive ID are Specified By Andrea Iniguez – VP Business Development, Theia Technologies

n a recent tour of OEM camera companies promoting our new 4K lenses, I had the opportunity to take the pulse of these organisations about the emergence of the 4K standard in video surveillance. The majority of these companies felt that the adoption of 4K cameras by the mass security market is at least three years away. It may not see the

4K market reaching critical mass until 2020. Whichever way you look at it, the security market looks poised to follow the path of HD adoption, with the broadcast media leading the way, raising the expectations of consumers and transferring those expectations to commercial markets (including professional secuJanuary 2016

rity) two to three years later. Much has already been written about the factors affecting (read ‘slowing’) the introduction and adoption of 4K as a standard in the security industry. These typically include the cost of infrastructure and hardware items such as monitors, bandwidth and storage. Technological advances in areas like video

www.indiasafe.com

transmission and improved bandwidth coverage are already addressing these limitations. One specific innovation likely to support faster 4K adoption is H.265 compression. Rapidly declining pricing of 4K monitors will also help speed up adoption. At the same time, there are demandled forces at work likely to drive the adoption of 4K in the industry. There is definitely a need for higher image resolution in video surveillance to support the protection of life and property. While no worldwide standard exists, the security industry seems to be heading toward adoption of the EN standard requiring 250 pixels per metre for the purposes of facial identification. Higher resolution cameras and lenses are critical to achieving this and satisfying our appetite for higher detail images. Certainly, in reviewing video footage in the sad case of the murdered family in Washington DC in May 2015, no one can argue that higher resolution cameras would go a long way to increase the chance of gathering images suitable for positively identifying perpetrators to

the level where images can be used as evidence in a court of law. The images below taken from widely available video footage, show that the security camera in place covering this incident was only delivering CIF resolution images (352x240 pixels). The images show a suspect or person of interest apparently fleeing. However, the image resolution is so low that the video would be useless for identification purposes. One would even conclude, as did one of my friends and parent of two children, that the system was a waste of public resources. “What’s the point?” Good question if it cannot be used to catch an alleged criminal. Although we don’t know the exact details, we could assume from looking at the images, that the camera is approximately 10 metres away from the subject and the lens is about an 80 degree Horizontal Field of View (HFOV) lens on a 1/3” sensor CIF camera. In that case, the pixel density in the image is only 21 pixels per metre, roughly 10 times less than the EN standard of 250 pixels per metre needed for facial identification. At that distance, given the same 80 degree HFOV lens, an Ultra HD 4K camera would provide 230 pixels per metre – still not quite enough for identification, but much closer. These calculations can easily be performed using a tool such as Theia’s Image Resolution/ Lens Calculator either at www. Theiatech.com, or in Droid or Apple App versions. See the images next page: But just as we cannot insure against every possible mishap, it is not economically feasible nor socially acceptable to provide video coverage of every possible January 2016

situation in which an incident or crime may occur. As is the case in life, in video surveillance we must prioritise environments and situations where the stakes are high. Those are environments in which the threat of loss of human life is higher than normal – such as in a stadium, airport, or rail network. In these high density environments, taking extra care and precaution are warranted. The authorities are specifying and configuring surveillance systems to spot known behaviours which may predict disorder or place others at risk. The idea is to act faster to neutralise a threat before it escalates. In one known example in the UK, very high resolution cameras were used in a football stadium to identify the faces of individuals looking down towards the ground rather than straight ahead watching the game. Why would spectators be looking down? Football stadiums across the UK had seen a rise in pyrotechnics being lit in stadiums. In order to light the fireworks perpetrators must look down. Once lit, they kick it down the stand so that when it starts to go off the perpetrator appears to be elsewhere. By specifying high resolution cameras to do this job they were able to identify the real culprits – the ones that lit the firework – and exclude them from the ground – virtually eliminating pyrotechnics incidents in the process. In these situations 4K video surveillance could definitely add value and would be worthy investments. In these environments, safety and law enforcement teams must be able to monitor, detect, observe, recognise and identify suspects and then act on this information rapidly. Assuming 250 pixels per metre is the minimum requirement for professionally designed and specified video surveillance

www.indiasafe.com

feature

systems to ensure positive identification in situations which warrant it, 4K cameras and lenses naturally support this specification and should be considered by integrators. If an upgrade from an analogue system or lower resolution video surveillance system will be undertaken, it can make sense to leapfrog over HD and implement 4K cameras and lenses. The wider fields of view of the larger 4k sensors and higher resolutions of 4K systems may allow reduction of the total numbers of cameras needed in the system. Once the need for positive identification has been established and the requirement of 250 pixels per metre has been specified, 4K cameras and lenses can be deployed to help upgrade systems to that level (and greater) more easily than HD systems on a camera for camera basis given the same focal length lens. Of course, the investment in infrastructure capable of handling the 4K system must also be made. For example, an HD camera with a 100 degree HFOV lens must be only three metres away to achieve 250 pixels per metre. But a 4K UHD camera using an equivalent 100 degree lens, can be positioned a little under seven metres away and still get the desired 250 pixels per metre resolution. Narrowing the field of view to around eight degrees HFOV with a telephoto lens, one can be approximately 108 metres away from the subject and still get 250 pixels per metre on a 4K UHD camera. But with a HD camera, one can only be 58 metres away to reach the same goal. As the target moves away from the camera and lens in space, the lower the image resolution becomes. These numbers make a significant difference when you are positioning cameras in stadiums, for example where it is not uncommon for

cameras to be fitted at one end of the stadium to cover the stand at the other end up to 120 metres away. But how does the camera manage to get more pixels on target? As with every camera and lens, the image detail or pixel density which determines pixels on target, is calculated by taking the resident number of pixels from the camera and spreading them across the entire HFOV of the lens. The higher the number of original pixels the greater the pixel density, image resolution and number of pixels on target can be delivered. All camera sensors are carved up into pixels along a grid pattern. A common 1/2.8â&#x20AC;? HD camera sensor has a diagonal of about 6.46 millimetres with about 2.1 million pixels, or a pixel density of approximately 321 thousand pixels per millimetre. In the meantime, a common 1/1.7â&#x20AC;? UHD 4K camera sensor has a diagonal of around 9.33 millimetres, January 2016

with about 8.3 million pixels, or a pixel density of 889 thousand pixels per millimetre, nearly three times the density of the HD sensor. Of course, video surveillance itself does not prevent crime. But even if the higher resolution video footage could only be used in the prosecution of a crime after the fact, the investment in the higher 4K resolution systems would no doubt be justified in many situations. 4K is poised to be included increasingly in surveillance system configurations as 250 pixels per metre (or more) densities are demanded. We believe that pending CCTV quality standards requirements and continued adoption of innovations in video transmissions, video storage and bandwidth provision, will all combine to see 4K achieving stronger and quicker market penetration than many have predicted.

AVIOTEC Video-Based Fire Detection Integrated and accurate fire detection within seconds

osch Security Systems introduces AVIOTEC, a new solution for reliable and early fire detection in challenging environments. Building upon proven Bosch camera technology and Bosch's Intelligent Video Analysis (IVA), video-based fire detection can supplement state-of-the-art fire detection technologies and enables early detection of smoke and flames in environments where these cannot offer satisfactory reaction times such as buildings with high ceilings or dusty and humid areas. AVIOTEC can also secure environments where no other solutions exist, for example saw mills or paper factories, hangars or extremely large monitoring areas.

● Uses Intelligent Video Analysis to detect smoke and flames. ● Reliable and early detection within seconds.

sue an alarm within seconds while for point detectors it can take minutes to detect an alarm condition. AVIOTEC is based on intelligent algorithms to distinguish between real fires and disturbance values like reflections, movements or backlights. This guarantees a very reliable detection with almost no

false alarms. AVIOTEC offers proven detection reliability in all test fires (TF1 through TF8) as specified in EN54. The video-based fire detection system AVIOTEC scales well from a single camera to a networked system of distributed cameras with a central console and management system. Using Bosch's Dynamic Transcoding technology it can relay alarms to an existing fire alarm panel or transmit them via

Ethernet to a monitoring center or even a mobile device like an iPad. Receiving HD quality video images in real time gives the firefighters a good understanding of the current situation even before they arrive on the scene.

Combining safety and security

ameras are easy to install and require very little maintenance in

contrast to state-of-the-art smoke and flame detectors. The use of PoE cameras (Power over Ethernet) can eliminate the need for individual power supplies and power cables, making AVIOTEC even more cost efficient. AVIOTEC can also be used for very small and distributed facilities such as power stations and signal boxes where the benefit does not justify the installation of fire panels.

new units accurately monitors and interprets the sound output of the horn or the light output from the Xenon strobe to check it is functioning correctly. The fault monitoring reports back to the control panel utilising either separate fault contacts or by the introduction to the monitoring circuit of a series resistor. Using the series resistor facility eliminates the need for any additional cables and can be used in a standard twowire arrangement.

The key benefits are:

● The correct functioning of the signalling device function is checked and communicated to the control panel.

● Time consuming physical inspections are eliminated, reducing running cost. ● Plant safety is increased because all devices are confirmed to be operating. ● The BEx units are designed to integrate seamlessly into the SIL 2 envi-

ronment. A detailed technical and installation manual, downloadable from www.e2s.com/SIL2, has been published to assist system designers and engineers. In high risk industries such oil, gas and petrochemicals, adopting SIL 2 (Safety Integrity Level) systems is becoming the norm, in particular for the safety-critical fire and gas detection systems. While the fire and gas control panel will normally initiate automatic process shutdown procedures in the event of an alarm, the audible and visual warning devices are critical components in ensuring that personnel are warned in an emergency.

Delta’s Newest EM-Controlled Anti-Terrorist Barrier Provides Less than Zero Penetration Delta HD2055 decisively stops 15,000 pound (6,803 Kg) truck at 51 MPH (82 KPM)

elta Scientific has announced that its new HD2055 electromechanically controlled anti-terrorist barricade decisively stopped a 15,000 pound (6,803 kg) test vehicle traveling at 51 mph (82 kph) in a recent crash test conducted by an independent testing laboratory. The HD2055 barricades not only stopped the vehicle but contained the test load representing the bombs strapped to the truck

bed. The crash test result showed a less than zero penetration. “Significantly, the operating mechanism and cams were all intact and reusable after the dramatic crash test,” emphasizes David Dickinson, Senior Vice President of Delta Scientific, “This level of survival is normally only seen with hydraulic barricade systems.” The new HD2055 barricade features January 2016

an easy-to-install shallow foundation with an environmentally-friendly electromechanical actuator which utilizes a sophisticated cam design that accelerates and de-accelerates the barrier road plate during raising and lowering. This reduces the lifting and closing force down to zero at the end of each stroke, dramatically increasing the life of the lifting mechanism.

Introduction

relief under the Enhanced Capital Allowance (ECA) scheme for energy saving technologies. The ECA scheme provides businesses with 100% first year tax relief on their qualifying capital expenditure, meaning that businesses can write off the cost of the equipment against taxable profits in the year of purchase. The aim is to provide an incentive to invest in renewable technology and energy saving equipment. How have IP surveillance systems positively impacted energy consumption and what effect does this have on a business user? It is well documented that the advancement in camera technologies have largely been down to the improvement in processing power within the cameras. The greater the level of processing power, the more demanding we can be with the features that are included. Now that we have seen significant improvement in the processing power we can expect the camera to be much more effective. The evolution of a surveillance camera has always been focused on improving the resolution and picture quality. Now with the advancement of technology in place, image quality should be a given and the very minimum we should expect from a camera. The focus and investment has been on the development of image usability and adding intelligence to the camera, either business intelligence or further security measures. One consideration rarely discussed when looking at the design of a surveillance system is the impact and cost associated with the power consumption of the system. If this is taken into consideration then it can demonstrate significant cost savings and reduce the total cost of ownership when considered at the start of the project. With the advancement of new feature rich IP camera technologies and associated products a client will be

nergy saving is a 21st century challenge with businesses devoted to providing energy efficiency, energy conservation, and the sustainable use of energy, thereby reducing carbon dioxide emissions and helping to prevent man-made climate change. With governments and countries working together to make a more efficient and sustainable future, it is important that new technologies address everyday energy and carbon emission challenges. With all businesses being challenged to positively impact their energy consumption and provide sustainability reports, how can IP surveillance systems help a business achieve its energy reduction commitments? As governments globally have initiatives in place to incentivise a business to reduce their energy consumption, it is important to understand how new feature rich IP surveillance technologies can reduce a user’s energy consumption and positively impact a balance sheet. Regardless of the size of a business, there are government initiatives in place that will help support the reduction in a businesses energy consumption and in turn help companies with their carbon reduction commitment. Two of the most common incentives for technological upgrades being used are the ‘Carbon Trust interest free loan’ scheme and the Enhanced Capital Allowance. The Carbon Trust offer government funded, unsecured 0% business loans for energy saving projects, up to a maximum loan limit of £100,000 available for small, medium and large companies that don’t fall under the Carbon Reduction Commitment. The Enhanced Capital Allowance is where the Carbon Trust manage the Energy Technology List (ETL), a list of products, such as thermal solar equipment, that may be eligible for 100% tax January 2016

able to generate a robust return on investment strategy when looking to upgrade an antiquated analogue surveillance system. It is also worth noting that the national and local governments look to incentivise businesses for reducing their power and carbon usage. The incentives can come in the form of financing green initiatives for business users, releasing capital expenditure to pay for the project, or even reducing corporation tax for larger business that are classed as high energy users.

In order to give a direct comparison between the resolutions a generic site has been marked up to highlight a potential camera layout using a 8Mpxl camera as chosen by the client. The brief given was to give detection levels of coverage to the perimeter of the site boundaries and also detection levels coverage to the roadways between the container areas. The perimeter boundaries measured 2000 meters and the roadways measure 3870 meters.

Camera technologies and features

hrough the introduction of new camera technologies and features we have seen significant improvement in an operational surveillance system. The primary reason is often to improve security â&#x20AC;&#x201C; however it is worth considering how these technologies and features can positively impact the power consumption of a surveillance system and identify further cost saving and benefits that havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been considered in the past.

Camera resolutions

hrough increased processing power built into the cameras, there has been significant advancement in camera capabilities that have evolved with the adoption of IP technologies. With greater resolution being offered from 1 megapixel through to 8 megapixels running at 25/30 fps, the field of view from each camera is significantly improved resulting in a total reduction in the camera count without compromising on the quality of the images being captured.

When doing a direct comparison between the numbers of cameras required in order to generate the same level of coverage across the site, there are significant changes in the quantities of cameras required. The table below shows the comparison assuming cameras can be located in the optimum positions with the same levels of spacing between each to give the minimum levels of cameras required. In reality we understand that a design will rarely have this luxury, but for the purposes of

Pixel Density Distances: The distances shown are not absolute maximum distances possible for each pixel density value. To enable a fair comparison between all of the different image resolutions all values were calculated at the same horizontal field of view (80 degrees) for each camera. By increasing the focal length of the lens on the camera and reducing the FoV these distances would increase. The table should be used as a very general overview guide and the values shown are not absolute.

The table below gives a direct comparison to the percentage increase and decreases against each of the resolutions. For the purposes of the comparison the settings are in accordance with the parameters set above. January 2016

a comparison this is a fair way that reflects the quantities required. The table above shows the reductions in the camera count required, in order to get the same level of coverage across the site. Whilst there are the obvious cost savings that can be seen, that sit with the number of cameras required alone and all the associated works that go with the installation; cabling, commissioning, storage, infrastructure, civils etc., what will the impact on the power consumption for the system have between the different solutions?

dow can be kept to the same as a smaller megapixel camera, so therefore not compromising the quality if the image. With multi streaming capabilities running up to 8 views from a single camera then reduction can been seen straight away. As the processing power within the camera further increases along with the pixels available the number of streams is likely to increase further which will again have the potential to reduce a camera count.

As you can see from the table above there are additional cost savings specifically related to the power consumption of the cameras. When looking at an upgrade of the whole surveillance systems, the cameras contributions that are related to a basic function such as the resolution can go a long way to demonstrating a quick return on investment. This will in turn help a business meet its carbon reduction commitments, which are only seen as a percentage against usage rather than a direct monetary value.

Megapixel camera with multi-view streaming

Megapixel camera being used for overview

The example here shows how a single camera, positioned correctly can get the desired coverage at the same resolution as a number of smaller resolution cameras. Aside from the obvious installation benefits of only having to install a single camera, run one cable and maintain one camera, there are the ongoing annual costs associated with the powering of a camera.

Multi-view streaming

ith the increase in resolution, came the ability to use multi-view streaming from a single camera. This essentially means that you get multiple views from a single camera position, giving the operator the perception that they are looking at a number of different fixed camera positions. This is great if you have an overview camera that you would like to zoom into multiple areas at the same time for monitoring purposes. An example of a scenario would be the entrance to a building where you would like to focus on the entrance door, reception area and barriers. Each specific view can be segregated into a viewing window and shown individually back to the monitoring workstation. This has the potential to reduce the cameras significantly if the correct camera is chosen. If a high megapixel camera is used, and split into a number of different viewing windows the resolution of each viewing winJanuary 2016

This example shows a direct correlation between cost savings on offer from using different camera technologies to achieve the same level of coverage without compromising on the image quality or operational performance of the system. 56

mat. The new format allows you to get a vertically oriented, ‘portrait’ shaped video stream from the camera. The video is adapted perfectly to the monitored area, maximising image quality while eliminating bandwidth and storage waste. Axis’ Corridor Format is even more useful for modern HDTV network cameras that deliver a 16:9 aspect ratio, as the resulting image will be changed to a 9:16 aspect ratio – just the right thing for narrow corridors, hallways or aisles. Due to the change in the aspect ratio, there is the potential to reduce the number of cameras required. This is achieved when increasing the vertical field of view being delivered from the same camera. With the new capabilities of corridor format increasing the field of view, we see the number of cameras required reducing. This in turn will reduce the total cost of ownership of the system and demonstrate power consumption cost savings. With corridor format being well aligned to segments such as retail and transportation, it is anticipated that small savings over multiple sites make this technology a compelling argument.

This examples demonstrates a potential power cost saving of >85% based on the quantities being used. As this is assuming a best case scenario of having the ability to utilise a single high megapixel to replace 8 lower resolution cameras, then the results will vary depending on the camera count.

360° overview surveillance cameras

ith the introduction of 360 and 180 degree overview surveillance cameras, this has added further scope to the capability of reducing the camera count. With the ability to de-warp images and still run multi-view streaming, this has afforded clients the ability to install centrally located cameras that can look and record in all directions simultaneously. With the introduction of this type of camera technology this has the potential to significantly reduce the camera count whilst improving the camera coverage of a site and reducing any blind spots. As a minimum, a client could expect to see a potential 75% reduction in the camera count assuming 100% visibility of an area of 650m2/ 7000sq ft as 1 360 degree camera can cover the whole area instead of using 4 cameras pointing in different direction whist still leaving a blind spot directly under the cameras. Based on the number of cameras it would take to cover a large area it would be unlikely that a client would wish to have 100% coverage using traditional cameras. Utilising this camera type will increase coverage of the site, but will also reduce the potential camera count in turn showing power consumption savings.

Corridor Format Images: By using Axis Corridor format the customer is able to fully maximise the horizontal field of view. This has the potential of reducing a camera’s blind spot and increasing the available detection zone. If an elongated horizontal view is not required then Axis Corridor format, in conjunction with a varifocal lens, can be used to increase the pixel density within the scene. The benefit of this is there is no extra hardware cost or increases to the cameras bandwidth as its transmitting the same image.

Axis Corridor Format

n many surveillance situations there are areas that are more vertical than horizontal in shape. This includes staircases, hallways, aisles, roads, runways, tunnels, and many other applications. In these situations, the traditional landscape format is not the optimal solution since it creates video streams where a large part of the field of view – specifically the sides of the image – is redundant. In turn, this means that the image quality is not maximized because the full area and resolution of the camera’s image sensor are not utilised. In the process, bandwidth and storage are also wasted. Axis’ unique solution to this problem is the Corridor ForJanuary 2016

By doing a direct comparison of the AXIS Q1615 with the varifocal lens set at 2.8mm, you are able to see the level of coverage increase when changed from a 16:9 format to a 9:16 format. With the traditional 16:9 view the AXIS Q1615 is able to provide coverage of 25 pixels per meter up to 42m to achieve detection levels of evidence. When the same camera is rotated to 9:16 it is able to provide the same level of 25 pixels per meter up to 53 meters. This change in aspect ratio increases the coverage distance from the same camera by 27%. What is great about utilising this technology is that the varifocal lens 57

system. With corridor format cameras being deployed in environments such as retail centre, shops, railway stations etc. The users are likely to be multi-site users that will show big cost savings across their region if deployed correctly. A further benefit that can be seen from corridor format is the improvement in the resolution from a fixed camera position. The image below (left) was captured using an AXIS P3346 camera in 1080p resolution. In 16:9 mode in order to capture the whole of the corridor area, the part of the image that we are not interested to the left and right is also captured. This results in less pixel density in the corridor which is the area of interest. The image below (right) shows Axisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Corridor Format. The camera sensor is physically rotated by 90 degrees and the image electronically counter-rotated to ensure the correct orientation for viewing. This image is refocused to match the top and bottom view of the original 16:9 image resulting in a higher pixel density in the area of interest.

can also be zoomed into the full capability of 8mm and as a result utilised across other segments such as critical infrastructure. As with the same comparison, the example shows both coverage areas achieving 25 pixels per meter at the furthest point. The 16:9 aspect ratio achieves a coverage area of 107m from the camera position with a blind spot of 9m meaning the coverage is 97.5m. When we change the cameras aspect ratio to 9:16 we achieve a coverage of 112m with a reduced blind spot of 5.6m, meaning the total coverage area is 106.4m. This shows an increase coverage distance of 9.5% by changing the aspect ratio from the traditional format to that of corridor format. Again this shows an improvement in the coverage of the surveillance camera by merely changing the aspect ratio. If we use a similar scenario to that used for the resolution example we can do a direct comparison for an environment that requires perimeter detection and coverage across the roadways.

The table above shows the impact and benefit that utilising an Axis camera in corridor format has. You can see that there is direct correlation between the cameras count required and the additional coverage being generated from a change in the aspect ratio. The AXIS Q1615 with a focal length of 2.8mm shows an increase in the camera count by approximately 27% if retained in the 16:9 ratio rather than 9:16 corridor format. This is also seen when the focal length is changed to 8mm and the same increase in camera count is in line with the different in coverage generated. It is important to see how the reduction in cameras can also reduce the power consumption impact on the surveillance system.

The comparison below shows the improved image quality available with Axis Corridor format when digitally zooming into the image. Recognition is now possible where it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t before. This has been achieved using the same camera which means there in no increase in cost to get an improved and more usable image.

A common theme and benefit of IP cameras is the positive impact in the reduction of cameras required to generate the same level of visibility as a traditional analogue system or even against an alternative IP systems that doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t share the same feature rich functionality. Not only do fewer cameras require less energy to run but there are also further benefits to be seen

Lightfinder

in other aspects of the surveillance system such as Network infrastructure and storage hardware. The reduction in cameras has a positive impact on the associated infrastructure required to run the system and fewer cameras results in less storage and associated hardware.

day and night camera is designed to be used in outdoor installations or in indoor environments with poor lighting. A day and night, color network camera delivers color images during the day. As light diminishes, the camera can automatically switch to night mode to make use of near infrared (IR) light to deliver black and white images. Maintaining image sharpness and low noise, particularly in varying outdoor lighting conditions, has proved challenging. Axis Communications’ research and development has led to the introduction of the new and revolutionary Lightfinder technology. The Lightfinder technology is the result of a meticulous choice of the right sensor and the right lens, together with the elaboration of the image data coming from the combination of sensor and lens. The fusion of these factors – sensor, lens, in-house chip development and knowledge in image processing – provides network cameras incorporating this technology with outstanding performance. The key feature is in the name. The Lightfinder camera can operate in significantly lower lux levels to traditional surveillance cameras on the market. Aside from the improvement in the image quality in demanding low light environments, we have the potential power saving related to reduction in additional lighting sources required.

AXIS Camera Application Platform

XIS Camera Application Platform is an open platform that makes it possible for application developers to market and sell Axis-compatible applications. The platform supports video analytics applications that provide the products with intelligent capabilities such as recognition, counting, detection and tracking etc., directly on the camera. One of the key benefits other than adding value and business intelligence to the camera is the significant reduction in hardware and cost associated with the analytics. With a new server less architecture being required this reduces the need for a server and any associated costs. Outside of the obvious cost saving specifically related to the hardware, there is the ongoing cost savings related to the power requirement of the systems. Less hardware means less power. The open application platform has attracted great interest among Axis’ development partners. AgentVi, Aimetis, Cognimatics, Digital Barriers and Via:Sys etc. To use Digital Barriers as an example, they have created SafeZone edge which is a server less iLIDS primary approved analytics package. For the purposes of a side by side evaluation, Digital Barriers have been able to do a direct comparison between a 4 camera server based solution and a 4 camera server less ACAP solution as they have both offerings in their portfolio.

For the purposes of the comparison, a fixed camera has been positioned every 25m to cover a perimeter measuring 300m. Lighting has been mounted every 50m to increase the lux levels in the environment. The lightfinder camera now has the capability to utilise any ambient lighting in the area. This means that the additional lighting required for the system is removed saving the hardware, installation and also the power associated with the lighting element of the surveillance system. When doing a direct comparison between the two solutions, there is potentially a

This offers a side by side comparison between both solutions. One important fact that is worth recognising is that there is NO compromise in operational performance between the two solutions. Whilst the savings between each of the solutions is only small for the comparison, you will see that as a percentage increase it is significant and the more cameras that are added to the system the greater the saving that will be seen.

cameras. With AXIS Camera Companion, all video is recorded on SD cards in the cameras, without the need for a DVR or server based recording platform – making each camera a smart, independent video recording device. The system consists of standard Axis cameras, SD cards, software clients for PC and smartphones, and standard network equipment. There are a number of operational and technical benefits to this system in addition to the platform being a free software. As this is a DVR or server less solution it removes the risk of the solution having a single point of failure. The software will need to be installed on a PC or laptop in order to commission the system but for the purposes of monitoring and viewing images, this can be done from an alternative devices such as a smart phone or tablet often used for other applications.

significant power cost saving if the lighting is removed of 96%. When scaling this technology over a larger site, then the potential cost savings can be huge. It is worth noting that the technology is called lightfinder, and as a result needs lighting for the cameras to operate efficiently. In the event that there is no lighting in the environment then additional lighting sources will always be required and Lux levels should be taken when designing the system.

IP recording & storage solutions

ust as there have been advancements of technology in the cameras so has there been with the accessories included. IP cameras are now able to compress images to a much smaller file size allowing the use of SD cards inside the cameras as the main storage area. As this is a solid state item with no moving parts there is very little energy associated with this device. A key benefit to this is that it takes storage load away from a traditional server based unit which again positively impacts the surveillance systems energy consumption. It is however important to pick the correct recording and storage for the applications and understand the limitations and benefits they offer.

Whilst there will be costs incurred whilst using, charging and/ or powering the devices in which a server less solution will use to view the footage, this is a device that is multipurpose and power consumption can be directly related to other activities. For the purposes of doing a direct comparison between the two solutions, there is a compelling argument to use a server less or hosted service. ACC saves 85% in annual power costs specifically related to the consumption of the system. It is worth noting that for the purposes of the exercise both systems used the same cameras being performed in the same operational environment.

Recording and storage solutions

Server based recording solutions

ith the advent of new technologies the recording and storage methods of surveillance systems have been improved significantly in regards to the reliability, cost and performance. The size and technical complexities of the system will largely dictate the type of storage that needs to be considered. As IP cameras are fully networkable there are also cost savings specifically related to the power requirements of the system that can be seen.

here is nothing more data intensive than video other than multiple streams of High Definition video and your choice of server solution can have a significant environmental impact. In recent years server technology has evolved allowing for specialist technology giving more powerful servers with higher density on board storage solutions. As High Definition becomes the ‘de facto’ standard in professional security installations, Secure Logiq brings to the industry the missing piece of the HD Surveillance Jigsaw by manufacturing a range of hardware appliances specifically designed and optimised to efficiently store, transmit and display multiple streams of HD

video data. By utilising this specialist technology, as well as significant cost savings there is a greatly reduced environmental impact and we will look at some of these factors below compared with other commonly used technologies Requirements: Here we will look at three of the options available on the market today and compare the overall power consumption. For comparison we will be looking at a 600 analogue camera system migrated to IP using the AXIS Q7046 Blade encoders. We will assume a constant recording bit rate of 2Mbps at 25IPS recording stored for a duration of 31 days with a peak bit rate of 3Mbps to allow for processing calculations. All calculations are based on the following table.

Optimised server technology for IP surveillance

y utilising best in class components, tested together and optimised for IP surveillance applications Secure Logic have created a range of servers which at the top end can handle 4000Mbps throughput with 480TB useable data on board a single 4U unit. Because they are often running well under peak processing power and feature advanced RAID arrays to spread the load average, power is significantly lower than the peak power requirements. Additionally each unit will replace multiple units available in comparison to other solutions offering significant power savings. The units in the calculations below feature 750Mbps throughput (duplex) and 140TB useable on board storage.

IT centric storage solution

ue to their multipurpose design and generic non-optimised nature, most IT Centric servers have a processing cap of 256 Mbps which can often be more of a limiting factor than the on board storage which typically does not exceed 21TB in RAID5. Electricity costs have been calculated at 15p per kWH, cooling costs and power are linear and cooling power requirements are generally similar to the total server power requirements.

Government initiatives

e can see that the advancement in IP surveillance technologies have been able to demonstrate significant cost savings associated with the energy consumption required to run a network video surveillance system for 24/7 365 days over a 10 year period. Not only are we able to show a robust return in investment against the energy savings alone, but due to the government initiatives in place we are able to get capital expenditure released that allows the government to pay for the upgrade. In addition to this with the incentives that the government has in place to companies for reducing their carbon footprint then there is corporation tax benefits to be gained as well.

Linear storage solution

inear storage is relatively new to the IP CCTV scene and does require integration to specific VMS platforms for optimum efficiency. Using a sequential storage method offers significant power savings in comparison to conventional server technology. Because the drives that are not being recorded on remain static they use less power and become more energy efficient. The disadvantage of this method is that the throughput is limited to the read write speed of a single disk so on large camera count many more machines have to be used to achieve the same result. Linear storage also relies on server technology to process the IP video which must also be accounted for when calculating power. January 2016

that all organisations that will be affected start to prepare and plan now: Allocate accountability within your organisation for CRC obligations. Once the impact on your organisation has been established, all registration procedures must be completed within the stated deadlines. It is then essential that you calculate and begin to monitor your energy consumption – reports will need to be submitted covering energy use from April 2010. Once an energy forecast has been completed then a financial budget for compliance should be prepared – it should include the cost of purchasing allowances for 2011, the cost of any improvements planned to lower energy consumption and reduce your organisations obligations as well as any associated administrative costs. Performance in 2010 will determine the amount of allowances you have to buy in 2011 and your league table position – so there will be a financial incentive to improving performance from April 2010. Even if you do not currently qualify as a participant in the CRC it is still worth taking the time to prepare; you may be forced to comply anyway by the Secretary of State. Even if you are not, reducing energy consumption will bring its own rewards in lower energy expenditure and lowering your organisation’s carbon footprint.

affected by it. Its purpose is to reduce Carbon Dioxide (CO2) emissions and increase energy efficiency by providing a financial incentive to improve performance. The UK Government was the first in the world to introduce a cap and trade scheme to put a price on the use of CO2 for high intensity energy users such as power producers and chemical manufacturers. Most of the large industrial plants in the UK are now captured under EU regulations for controlling CO2 emissions and participate in the mandatory EU Emissions Trading Scheme (EU ETS). The UK Government is again taking the lead with the CRC, applying the same cap and trade formula to large organisations, with a focus on increasing energy efficiency. It is the first mandatory CO2 scheme in the world to cover both public and private sectors of the economy. What is cap and trade? The CRC will operate as a cap and trade mechanism, providing a financial incentive to reduce energy use by putting a price on CO2 emissions from energy use. Organisations within the CRC will be required to buy one allowance for every tonne of CO2 they are responsible for each year. The overall emissions reduction target is achieved by placing a ‘cap’ on the total allowances available to each group of CRC participants. Within the overall limit of the CRC, participating organisations can choose the most cost-effective way to reduce their emissions and meet compliance targets. This could be through buying extra allowances to cover any short-fall or by making investments to lessen energy consumption and hence the allowances that they have to purchase. Which organisations will be affected? The CRC will apply to public or private organisations (including subsidiaries) which have at least one half-hourly electricity meter (HHM) or those with a total annual energy consumption of at least 6,000 mega-watt hours of electricity (equivalent to an electricity bill of £500,000). Initial indications are that around 5,000 organisations will have to participate. Public sector organisations such as local authorities and all central government departments will make up a significant number of these, with other participants including supermarkets, banks and water companies. Energy costs usually represent a small amount of annual expenditure for the organisations targeted by the CRC, so to date there has been little incentive to reduce consumption. However, these organisations are collectively responsible for around 10% of the UK’s CO2 emissions. Next steps: There are significant financial and even criminal penalties for non-compliance with the CRC, so it is imperative January 2016

Conclusion

t is clear to see that the advancements in new IP surveillance technologies can demonstrate areas of cost savings directly related to power consumption. Not only does this show the potential benefits of upgrading from an existing analogue system to a new IP system, but it also shows the importance of selecting the right camera and storage vendor. The importance of a feature rich solution, now impacts other decisions makers that sit outside of the traditional security team.

Comments and clarifications

t is worth noting that the testing conditions for each of the applications may differ depending on the environmental conditions of each site. The potential capabilities of the different camera technologies and features has been designed to highlight the potential areas that can reduce camera counts and what effects this has on other elements of the operational system. It is always recommended that each surveillance system is designed specifically for the application in which it is intended. All technologies and features are there to improve the systems capabilities, but may not be too suitable for each application. 62

Dahua Upgrades Security Level for Banco Provincia in Argentina

ahua Technology has upgraded the security level for Banco de la Provincia de Buenos Aires (Banco Provincia). Banco Provincia is a publicly owned Argentine bank operating 342 branches and is Argentina’s second-largest by deposits and total assets. Banks strive to safeguard their negotiable (cash, bonds, etc) and nonnegotiable assets such as documents, equipment, furniture, and other assets, requiring the highest level of security. As Banco Provincia was in the need of upgrading their surveillance system, devices from many other providers were tested but failed to meet such high standard requirements. Dahua’s products and technology met these requirements and exceeded other suppliers, becoming the optimal choice. In this upgrade, DVRs, NVRs, analog cameras, analog PTZ cameras, and network cameras, which have fit the cost performance ratio and high stability, were used to meet the security requirements. Dahua’s analog cameras and PTZ cameras feature high resolution images, even under the most unfavorable weather conditions. Dahua DVRs provide high-

quality live view and up to 8/16 channel synchronous real-time playback. Meanwhile, selected NVRs can be used as storage devices in order to manage massive data volume from the analog DVRs. With clear and intelligent functions, Dahua products are able to moni-

To protect visitors, employees and exhibits from fire at its best, local Bosch partner Elektroprojekt installed Modular Fire Panels Series 5000 with redundancy and Remote Keypads Series 5000. The panels operate with intelligent point-type and linear beam smoke detectors. This system is closely interJanuary 2016

faced with the digital PRAESIDEO public address and voice alarm system from Bosch. PRAESIDEO allows automatic distribution of four different evacuation messages to specific parts of the building. In order to guarantee optimal intelligibility in the acoustically difficult environment with high ceilings, Bosch performed a series of room simulations before planning the sound system. Depending on location, five different types of loudspeakers were employed, including, for example, column speakers and in-ceiling speakers. With regard to intrusion detection, a Modular Alarm Platform 5000 with 700 intrusion detectors secures administrative and office areas but also the storage with the museum’s collection. Additional, non-public areas are also secured by an access control system with AMC Controllers and about 190 card readers. Video Surveillance in the museum consists of Bosch's Video Management System (BVMS), Video Recording Manager (VRM) and multiple network cameras including Starlight cameras, which

are able to deliver high quality images even in extreme low light conditions regardless of object movement. The Video Recording Manager from Bosch helps to easily manage large data volumes with

maximum reliability as it supports both efficient load balancing and failover recording in case the primary storage array is full or unavailable. All safety and security systems

in the POLIN Museum are IP-based and tightly integrated through Bosch's Building Integration System (BIS), allowing for centralized operations and alarm management.

Milestone Husky NVRs Protect Dunkin’ Donuts Restaurants

Donut giant ensures the safety of stores, employees and customers with performance-optimized video appliances

ilestone Systems Network Video Recorder (NVR) solution is successfully being used by Dunkin’ Donuts in Iceland to optimize security and avoid defacement of their branch properties. The popular chain restaurants are located in the city center of Reykjavik, Iceland, where big city annoyances such as graffiti and window smashing can be a problem. Dunkin’ Donuts needed a solution that would help them avoid damage to their properties and to ensure the clean appeal of the chain and the safety of employees and customers. Milestone Platinum Partner Security Center Iceland installed a Milestone Husky M30 NVR in each Dunkin’ Donuts restaurant in Iceland. Each Milestone Husky manages eight to ten Vivotek cameras located inside and outside

the branches for optimal surveillance. This allows Dunkin’ Donuts managers to keep an overview of their entire restaurant. The advanced investigation tools combined with an easy-tomanage timeline in the Milestone software enables the restaurant managers to examine incidents quickly and accurately. That makes it possible to catch wrongdoers and provide evidence of high image quality to the police if needed. The system also has a deterrent effect; after the branches opened they have had zero incidents of damage, saving the company the costs of having to restore property. “We made sure to have a best-inclass video security system right from the start when opening our restaurants,

and that has proven to be the right decision. Since opening we have completely avoided defacement thanks to Milestone,” says Helgi Hansson, Security Manager at Dunkin’ Donuts. According to the restaurant managers, the presence of the Milestone video security system has also proven important for creating a sense of safety for the staff. This contributes to Dunkin’ Donuts’ ambition about creating an attractive work environment for their employees.

CCTV Solution’s Sparkling Success

Introduction

yanmar began selling jade and other precious stones at specialist gem shows in 1964. With demand continuing to increase, the ‘Gems and

Jade Emporiums’ are now held three times a year at the Mani Yadanar Jade Hall in the capital. This three storey dome-shaped structure is owned by the Myanmar Gems and Jewellery EntreJanuary 2016

multi-million dollar sales but, after just four years, the image quality was badly affected by degradation of the long distance coaxial cables and damage to the electrical cables, DC power adaptors and the CCTV camera LEDs. In addition, new jade warehouses had been constructed within the compound. With the next Gem Emporium due in the middle of June 2015, more than ten of the world’s premier CCTV suppliers, including Hikvision, submitted bids in early March 2015 to install a digital IP CCTV surveillance system. Nawarat Global Technology, working with Hikvision, was awarded the contract on 24 March with a completion date of 11 June.

The Solution

total of 161 Hikvision IP cameras were specified to cover the entire compound connected to five 32-channel Hikvision NVRs in the central control room, plus three further NVRs in secondary control rooms, through more than 3.5km of shielded fibre cables, with accompanying electrical cabling for the centralized power supply. A total of 54 IP cameras now cover the three levels of the Jade Hall while the remaining 107 cameras are used to monitor the

24-acre compound. The vast majority of the cameras are DS-2CD2T32-I5 bullet cameras, with 148 installed throughout the complex, with a variety of minidome, dome and speed-dome cameras completing the line-up.

Implementation

“

When the security solution at the Jade Hall was renewed, we naturally mandated a solution that would fulfill all of our security requirements throughout the complex,” says Thar Tun, Systems Integrator at the Myanmar Gems and Jewellery Entrepreneur Association, “However, we also wanted to enable customers to view live images of the jewellery within the hall and, to meet this challenge, a system capable of supplying live feeds onto two television screens from a single network video recorder was required. “However, the biggest problem we faced during the integration process lay with the outer buildings surrounding the Jade Hall within the complex. The solution required us to install underground fibre cables leading to all of these buildings from a centralized electrical power supply. In a very short space of time, we put down over 3.5km of 4, 12 and 24-core fibre cable, all accompanied by

January 2016

3-core electrical cable for the centralized power system. We also put in over 12km of network cable for the IP cameras. Commenting on the choice of the Hikvision DS-2CD2T32-I5 3-megapixel bullet camera as the mainstay of the system, Tun highlighted its 80 metre IR range, “This camera is especially designed for low-illumination environments with true day/ night cycling capability. The DS-2CD2T32-I5 also features 3D Digital Noise Reduction, Digital WDR and an IP66 weatherproof casing.” “The camera is also equipped with a wide variety of SMART alarm triggers, including Line Crossing, Intrusion Detection, Motion detection, Dynamic analysis, Tampering alarm, Network disconnect, IP address conflict, and Storage exception – all of which we expect to make use of as we optimize and refine the system,” he says. Of the central control centre, Tun says, “Rounding out the solution is the main control room, containing twelve 42 inch LED television screen, five 32 channel DS-9632NI-XT NVRs, each equipped with sixteen 4-Terabye hard drives, enabling the Jade Hall’s security department to store footage for up to three months. The control room is monitored 24 hours per day, 7 days per week by a team of six. In addition to the main control room, there are also three additional sub-control rooms within the complex. Two of these are located at the security gate, and the other in the main management office in the Jade Hall. Within each sub-control room is one DS-7732NI-ST NVR with two 4TB hard drives and one 32 inch LED television screen.” The project was successfully completed in time for the Fifty Second Gems and Jade Emporium, which was held on June 24.

Milestone Video Software Improves Security at Solar Energy Power Stations by 96 Percent

osses and damages to Italy’s TerniEnergia photovoltaic (solar) power stations that can cause fall-outs in their energy supply, have been reduced by 96 percent after a Milestone video management software (VMS) security solution was implemented. The solution also ensures operation without unscheduled downtime, improving the power plants’ service levels. Photovoltaic power stations can span many square kilometers and are nearly

impossible to secure by traditional means. Without an efficient surveillance system, thieves can enter the large and remotely located production facilities unseen. TerniEnergia had experienced several thefts at their power stations which resulted in losses from damage. For example, the thieves would cut energy cables or steal solar panels which led to increased expenses for TerniEnergia, who had to restore the property and pay penalties due to electrical service interJanuary 2016

ruptions. “Our Milestone solution showed its worth a few days after the project was finalized when there was an attempted theft at one of TerniEnergia’s photovoltaic power stations. The operators at our monitoring station were alerted immediately by the system and contacted the local police who arrested the thief in the middle of cutting energy cables. Without the Milestone solution I am not sure we would have

96 percent compared to previous years. The previous high number of thefts and damages to the plants created long operational recovery times which resulted in loss of energy production, and thus, loss of income – especially bad since most of the incidents happened during the summer: the time of year with the biggest potential for solar energy production. With the Milestone video management system in place, TerniaEnergia and their customers are now ensured continuity and stability in their operations. TerniEnergia is an Italian energy company that works in the field of waste management, energy efficiency and renewable energy. Among other things they produce energy from natural gas, solar energy and biomass.

G4S Provides Better Service with Milestone Open Platform Technology

G4S in Estonia uses the Milestone open platform technology to meet customers’ needs for video services

ecurity service provider, G4S Eesti is reforming the Estonian security market by introducing video as a service (VaaS) to meet the security needs of small and medium-size businesses. Their new service offerings come as a result of a partnership with Milestone Systems. The rapid growth of small and medium-size businesses in Estonia along with an expanding IT infrastructure, means that the business landscape is

ripe for new initiatives, in an otherwise traditional security market. The small to medium-size businesses have different security needs and budgets than the large corporations, which prompted G4S to think outside the box. They grasped the opportunity and introduced three new VaaS offerings anchored in traditional alarm and guarding services. “Video as a service is growing far more than the traditional video security offerings, and here as the market leader, January 2016

we are in the perfect position to fulfill the ever-rising market demands. We have a very high level of technological skills and thanks to the open platform technology from Milestone we are able to meet the needs of any customer,” says Head of Security Systems at G4S Eesti, PriitOrasson. There are three new VaaS initiatives by G4S Eesti which include: video alarm, video patrol and online video surveillance. Video alarm is a service where a traditional alarm system is augmented with G4S hosted video surveillance. As Estonia has large security installations and the population is mostly concentrated in urban areas, video is an important tool for optimizing alarm response, enabling increased situational awareness for the G4S patrolling staff. Video Patrol is a service offering where an operator uses the installed cameras to perform a virtual patrolling service. The patrol occurs at a fixed schedule and covers assets, premises and objects. One example of this service is G4S’ protection of the culturally significant Estonian War

application/ case study

of Independence Victory Monument (Vabadussõjavõidusammas). This is done discreetly using the video patrol service. Online Video Surveillance is a proactive operator-driven service. Trained operators use the video feeds from multiple cameras to detect suspicious behavior before anything happens or to catch evolving incidents in the very beginning. This not only leads to highly efficient response by G4S staff, but

acts as a discouraging factor for individuals with negative intents, as G4S is ensuring that the security cameras are clearly visible and as the video service is loudly announced. A customer using this service is the furniture retail chain Jysk in Tallinn, where the losses have been cut by more than 75% due to this service. As VaaS gets more and more important in a market where every customer is different, the service has to be

readily adaptable to the exact needs of the ever-growing flock of customers to the G4S offerings. “We are seeing an influx of SMB customers – 16 cameras or less. This means that it has to be simple and fast for us to deliver the services requested. We are focused on quality and a very high service level and here the Milestone quality, flexibility and ease of use are of utmost importance to us,” says PriitOrasson.

gia locations. The access rights of every key are updated every 10 hours, ensuring that the company’s high security needs are met. If a key is somehow lost, it ceases to be

a security risk after the 10 hours have expired. Locks are powered by a battery inside each key, so maintenance of widely dispersed secure sites is minimized. The whole security ecosystem is managed remotely, using web-based administration software. Access rights in each key can be set valid or invalid, and can be easily changed, removed or revalidated when-

The Search for the Best Retail Solution Ends Here with NUUO

Bright Future, But Challenges Ahead By Sumit Arya – Country Head, India & SAARC, NUUO Inc.

solutions that can be easily installed and maintained without additional technical support are highly valued. Remote access and live view on mobile devices to allow shop owners to view the operation of the shop and each transaction from home is also a big plus. NUUO has developed a portfolio of retail solutions to address the full spectrum of needs across different retail markets and industries. .

he worldwide retail market is thriving, especially in developing countries such as China, Chile, and India where consumption power is growing rapidly. While the future of retail is promising, many challenges still lie ahead. Every year, shoplifting, employee theft, credit card fraud, and robberies cause significant store losses, also known as shrinkage. According to Global Retail Theft Barometer, the shrinkage as a result of shoplifting, employee theft, supplier fraud, and administrative errors in the worldwide retail market reached $128 billion in 2013, equaling to nearly 1.3% of retail sales. The top two causes of shrinkage are shoplifting and employee theft, accounting for over 65% of the shrinkage. To ensure the safety of the merchandise, the owner’s property, the staff, and the customers, many retailers have increased focus on loss prevention methods such as integrating their video solutions with their POS (Point of Sales) systems for higher management and surveillance efficiency. Due to the business size, retailers’ requirements for loss prevention solutions may vary. For large national and international retailers with multiple stores such as supermarkets and malls, the capability of managing multiple video recorders centrally and POS events is a must. Regional chained stores, particularly convenience stores running 24/7, need long-term uninterrupted video recording, which means a huge amount of video data in the recorders. Therefore, intelligent data search and analytics are required. As for the ‘smaller’ retailers who usually have limited budget on loss prevention, cost-effective January 2016

Employee theft

he National Retail Security Survey’s findings indicate internal theft as the No.1 cause of shrinkage for retailers. Among all, smaller retailers in particular suffer higher rates of shrinkage due to lack of technical ability to detect the crime. Unfortunately, loss prevention on this area has not received as much attention as customer theft. An Optometrist Paul DeLange’s former employee was sentenced for stealing more than $185,000 from the business. Over six years, Laux has lost more than $200,000 in sales to employee theft. By integrating video surveillance systems into the POS system in the shop, employee theft can be reduced significantly.

NUUO’s retail solutions can stream video simultaneously to multiple clients such as remote live viewers, Web clients, and mobile devices, giving retailers remote access to the cameras in the store to monitor the activity of employees when they are away.

of purchased items, video playbacks, live streams, and snapshots, in one interface. In case of a fraud where a customer purchases an expensive item but the staff inputs a cheaper item in the POS system, the manager can easily dig out sweethearting employee theft by comparing the playback video with the POS transaction data, which is overlaid onto the video. What’s more, the manager can receive real-time notifications upon a pre-defined event, say any transactions above $300, and view live images or transaction data immediately on their mobile devices if they are out of the store. All of the events can be generated into exception reports based on customized parameters and exported externally for further investigation.

ith growing importance of protection for credit card information, NUUO has placed a high focus on meeting the PCI-DSS standard, a standard that all companies that process, store or transmit credit card information must comply with. The PCI-DSS certification has proved NUUO’s POS solutions to be a reliable and trustworthy choice for retailing partners.

Shoplifting

anked second on the list of shrinkage causes, shoplifting has been a growing problem to retail stores of various sizes and types, from branded clothing in luxury stores to daily commodities in small retail stores. Many resources have been spent on loss prevention. Small stores usually rely on vigilant employees and a layout that gives the workers good visibility while larger retailers may deploy floor walkers and advanced January 2016

solution for retailers to stop shoplifting. Capable of detecting faces in crowded uncontrolled environments and recognizing multiple faces against a specified database, the solution enables retailers to spot perpetrators when they enter the store and stop them before they commit a crime. By building a blacklist of suspects, such as people that have been caught shoplifting or people with criminal records, the system will automatically compare the faces of people entering the store against the blacklist and send alerts to the retailers so they can conduct more detailed surveillance. The retailers can also create a white list of VIPs or loyal customers which will be immediately recognized and offered special discounts, making them more welcome.

monitoring and alert systems to combat the crime. However, as anti-theft technology improves, shoplifters also learn to adjust their strategies from hiding goods in their clothes to removing tags from items. Retailers need more intelligent surveillance systems to detect and prevent shoplifting.

EAS system integration

lectronic Article Surveillance (EAS) systems have been a major method for preventing shoplifting in retail stores and NUUO’s solution can be integrated with EAS systems perfectly. When an EAS tag is removed from merchandise illegally, NUUO system will notify the staff, activate an alarm and start recording the incident, based on retailers’ configurations. The recording can be configured to start a few minutes before the alarm to ensure the event is captured completely.

High image quality

tores without EAS will have to rely on other methods to combat shoplifting, and one way is using high-quality video with exceptional image clarity and details. High-quality images not only improve efficiency of police investigations but also serve as a tool for deterrence since shoplifters will be less likely to steal goods when they know they are being watched. NUUO’s high efficiency megapixel recording and management platform can provide high-quality video with sharper images, reduced noise and lessen motion blur.

Store & business management

unning a retail store without the help of intelligent video systems is dreadful, especially when little manpower is available. Imagine the staff in the shop doing their routine work while keeping an eye on every corner at all times to see if people are moving in restricted areas; loitering in the area of valuable goods; cars are driving the wrong way, or consumers are waiting for help. An intelligent video system not only enhances management efficiency but also provides better customer experience because retailers can plan a layout for consumers to find what they want and need easily, and place promotional products in heat areas to boost sales. With various advanced functions such as people counting, virtual tripwire, and heat map, NUUO IVS moves video solutions beyond security applications and endows them with business intelligence, turning them into valuable business tools.

Virtual tripwire

etailers relying on dedicated manpower to monitor and prevent unauthorized intrusion to areas with restricted access such as offices, warehouses, or staff-only places should seriously consider virtual tripwire solution as it is cost-effective and efficient. With this function, a virtual tripwire is created on screen and when people or moving objects, such as cars, cross the line or when any thing breaches the perimeter, a series of automatic triggers will be activated such as initiating video recording, sending an alert e-mail, or uploading event images.

People counting

Armed robberies & burglaries

n the old days, retailers who wanted to understand store traffic had to designate staff or install a counter to do so which is inefficient and costly. Now this can be done in a smarter, more accurate, and most importantly, more cost-effective way. The people counting function of NUUOâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s IVS can count the number of visitors to a store and provide statistics for new and return visitors, average visit duration, and visit frequency, helping retailers better understand store operations and maximize their potential revenue. For example, they can plan more effective displays, compare the efficiency of different displays, evaluate new store layouts, or identify the busy times of each chain store based on the data.

urglaries and robberies pose a particular danger to retailers as they not only cause financial losses, but also threaten peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lives. Stores open late at night are prone to robberies. Small retailers with a lot of cash on hand and less sophisticated security systems are also a prime robbery target. As most stores train their employees to hand over the money without fighting with the robbers, video footage of the surveillance systems, if any, will be extremely important for postcriminal investigation and prosecution. However, the footages are usually blurry with unidentifiable details that impede law enforcement, especially in stores using cheap CCTV systems and low-quality DVRs. Since NUUOâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s network recording system utilizes File Ring recording engine to store and retrieve megapixel video data, consistently good quality can be ensured.

Heat map

eat map is another useful tool for marketing purposes. By visualizing customer traffic patterns over time using video analytics, the foot traffic is displayed in different colors such as red representing heavy traffic, meaning this area receives a lot of attention, and green indicating little traffic. As a result, retailers can quickly identify the display areas that are doing well and those that need to be improved to attract more potential buyers. With a better knowledge of customer traffic, retailers can know how to put popular products in a more accessible part of the store and scale back in-store advertising of a product in unpopular dead areas for optimized store performance, customer service, and marketing results.

displayed on the selected channels. Retailers can configure numerous lanes of traffic under each LPR source for easy management. When an event occurs, the user-defined alarms will be triggered. For example, NUUO Mainconsole will send an alert to the manager when a vehicle with an unauthorized license plate has entered the perimeter. All license plates and special events are stored in a secured, keywordsearchable database with video attached for easy review. The integration not only saves costs as there is no need to install additional sensors for detection, but also reduces response time as law enforcement departments will be notified immediately.

times even no response at all. To successfully deter robbery or break-in, the alarm systems must be smart enough to trigger actions automatically in order to minimize the damage of the events. It is thus crucial that alarm systems be integrated with the surveillance system. Since NUUO’s solution can be integrated with alarm systems, the staff can press the emergency button when encountering a robbery attempt or perceiving trouble to activate pre-defined triggers such as sending alerts to the security company and the owner, triggering the recording to start, or boosting recording quality.

Drive-offs

rive-offs, leaving the gas pump without paying, has been a main concern for retailers, especially at pay-at-thepump systems which were meant to increase customer convenience. The surging oil prices in recent years have added fuel to the fire. With retailers making little profit on the sale of gasoline, a drive-off could wipe out their entire day’s profits from gasoline sales, not to mention the loss of revenue from luring customers inside the convenience stores to buy something more profitable. Most gas stations have CCTV installed to help retailers provide the police with vital clues to facilitate investigation. Sadly, the resulting images are often of low quality and therefore of limited use to the police.

Romanian big-box retailer stops theft with open NUUO surveillance platform

UUO’s retail solutions have been deployed worldwide. Romanian Auchan, one of the largest retailers in the world, was seeking reliable recording solutions in replacement of their analog DVRs to help them with loss prevention. Besides supporting hybrid environments where a combination of analogue and IP-based systems co-exist, the solution must be able to integrate with the POS system. Under these considerations, Auchan chose NUUO Mainconsole for local recording and monitoring and installed NUUO’s CMS (Central Management Software) in the control center to manage cameras in all stores. Since the beginning of the project, over 80,000 channels have been installed and integrated with 400 POS systems. Auchan can manage 7,000 channels at a time in the CMS. The solution enables Auchan to detect events more easily as the administrator will receive alerts whenever a pre-defined event is triggered such as when a transaction exceeds US$1,000 or when goods are returned. There is no need to read through endless lists to find a specific event. Even better, the transaction data will be shown over the images, so the administrator can make comparison quickly. All I/O devices such as fire or burglar alarms can also be managed centrally via Mainconsole, giving the administrator great convenience to specify multiple different actions for different events in one interface. At night after stores are closed, recording will be switched to motion-based settings to save storage space. Currently, NUUO’s solutions have been deployed in over 70 countries, including Vodafone in Egypt, Brisbane market in Australia, MacDonalds in Mexico, and TsUM in Russia.

License plate recognition integration

his is where LPR technology comes into play. NUUO LPR solution can be integrated with a third-party’s license plate recognition system.

Axis puts the Eye in IoT

Sets the Expectations and Trends for Security & Video Surveillance Industry in 2016

Johan Paulsson, CTO, Axis Communications

s one of the early adopters of IoT with the launch of the security industryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first network camera in 1996, Axis Communications believes it represents a very real and practical step forward in how to connect disparate machines and widely dispersed data. IoT will allow network cameras to think independently and make smart decisions on their own, while connected systems will top the chart of emerging trends in 2016.

Trends to lookout for in 2016 IoT: From cool features to useful solutions:

s security solutions move beyond their roots in cameras, the entire

gamut of network cameras will expand. For example: network cameras can be used for Building Information Management (BIM), Business Intelligence (BI) in retail and even leaping into scientific research with real-time analysis of traffic patterns and crowd movements. The IoT will allow for combined systems integrating previously disparate devices such as video surveillance cameras, smoke detectors, gas sensors, access control panels and loudspeakers into a common management console providing a 'single pane of glass' overview across entire buildings and sites.

More cameras mean big data

ccording to market researchers, video is now the fastest growing type of data in the world, and video generated by security and surveillance systems is no small reason. While this vast amount of video data is largely being used for security purposes, it is increasingly valuable as a source of business intelligence. However, there still remains a significant challenge to effectively manage and use the endless amounts of video data being generated, so-called big data. Hence, we expect to see more investment in tools and other resources that can effectively mine and derive ac-

ScanItAllÂŽ

tionable intelligence from the big data that security systems are producing.

Cutting the cords

e expect to see more use of wireless technology in security and video surveillance, particularly as an enhancement to business optimization and improvement of the customer experience.

The never ending quest for more detail

ecurity operators have an insatiable appetite for more clarity and detail in the images produced by their video surveillance systems. So continued improvement in megapixel technology is certainly in our future.

Analytics provides the brain for smarter systems

f IoT devices are the eyes and ears for increasingly interconnected systems, then analytics technology is the brain. We expect to see continued growing adoption of sophisticated video and audio analytics in the coming year, helping security systems evolve from passive monitoring to intelligent and adaptive recognition, situational awareness and analysis systems.

Detecting Un-scanned Items in Retail

unscanned items at both manned and self-checkouts at retailers worldwide. It analyzes security video to detect theft, training error, and operational analytics. The SAAS-based video analytics system analyzes video of checkout activity and compares it against POS data to automatically detect theft and loss by identifying items which have been given away to the customer without being scanned. Billions of dollars are lost worldwide by retailers annually due to unscanned merchandise at the manned and self-checkout, both ‘sweethearting’ and carelessness by cashiers. It is the one kind of retail theft that is under the radar with no data trail to track it. ‘Sweethearting’ occurs when cashiers pretend to scan merchandise but deliberately bypass the scanner, thus not charging the customer. The customer is often a friend, family member or fellow employee working in tandem with the cashier. This includes both middle-of-the-basket and bottom-ofthe-basket sweethearting, items left in a reusable bag, weighing an expensive item but looking up a cheap one, covering bar codes, or going around the scanner. StopLift has found that selfcheckout customers steal as much as

five times more frequently. As soon as a sweethearting incident occurs, the software, which constantly monitors 100% of the security video, flags the transaction as suspicious. It quickly reports the incident, identifying the cashier and the date and time of the theft. The new Self-Checkout Accelerator give retailers realtime reporting on self-checkout theft, prevents false alerts that frustrate honest shoppers, and improves customer service at the self-checkout. Kundu became involved in loss prevention through a retail inventory shrinkage study ‘Project StopLift’ he led at Harvard Business School in Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA. Previously, he led the development of real-time facial recognition systems for identifying terrorists in airports for Facia Reco Associates, and he delivered the first such system to the Army Research Laboratory. He was CEO of Invino Corporation through its public acquisition. “The biggest source of shrink is at the front end of the store,” said Mike Smith of American Video & Alarm, who sells ScanItAll® to supermarket chains in the USA, “You have ten lanes of potential thievery or laziness with merchandise going out the door

and virtually no way to manage until now.” Chris Ajlouny and Keith Holley, who own Piggly Wiggly supermarkets in the state of Alabama (USA), knew that cashiers were either stealing or failing to scan items, costing their supermarkets major losses. Ajlouny estimated that his loss was $8,000$10,000 per quarter for two stores. Holley estimated that his one store was losing $6,000-$10,000 per month from checkout shrink, most of it in frozen food. Ajlouny did not tell any employees at his stores when he installed StopLift two years ago, so that he could see the extent of scan avoidance. In the first week, he saw three cashiers steal $400-$500 at a time, sliding groceries past the scanner and later getting ‘kickbacks’ from the customer. One cashier admitted to getting kickbacks outside the store. From then on, Ajlouny showed StopLift videos to all new employees. “My cashiers know they are being watched,” Ajlouny said, “They see their performance on video. Some of them need retraining. All the managers see the reports of all the cashiers, and now they all work harder to give their respective stores the best record for preventing scan avoidance.”

networks will be seen in the market to deal with the increasingly diverse demands that are placed upon them. Software-Defined Networks, or SDN, which have largely been deployed in carrier networks and data centers, will begin to see increasing relevance in the Enterprise as application vendors begin to leverage the capabilities of SDN to simplify business processes and deliver value to the Enterprise. C-level executives and technology managers will need to develop strategies for integrating SDN into their Enterprise networks, and with a strong emphasis on security. Wireless – While 802.11ac technology may still be in the early stages of adoption and deployment, the focus on wireless will move away from technology and performance, and increasingly focus on unified management using a cloud-based platform of an organization’s infrastructure. Application awareness and the ability to manage traffic on

a per-flow basis will become increasingly important as organizations take a unified approach to connectivity. This is particularly relevant as the growth in mobile devices continues to increase while the deployment of fixed devices stagnates. Security and IoT – The ever-increasing number of devices or ‘things’ being connected throughout Smart Cities and across the ‘Internet of Things’ will make embedded devices and machine-to-machine networks more attractive targets. Next-generation security for organizations that operate and manage embedded networks will become as important as, if not more important than, the security of the organization’s Enterprise network. According to Seiichiro Sato, Director of Global Product Marketing at Allied Telesis, “Allied Telesis is pleased to announce our trends analysis and projections for 2016. As our world becomes in-

creasingly connected, we are seeing the focus move from human-operated devices to embedded autonomous devices that deliver automation and efficiency. Many of these devices are part of critical infrastructure systems and, because of this, security of these systems will become increasingly important to all involved.” For nearly 30 years, Allied Telesis has been delivering reliable, intelligent connectivity for everything from enterprise organizations to complex, critical infrastructure projects around the globe. In a world moving toward Smart Cities and the Internet of Things, networks must evolve rapidly to meet new challenges. Allied Telesis smart technologies, such as Allied Telesis Management Framework™ (AMF) and Enterprise SDN, ensure that network evolution can keep pace, and deliver efficient and secure solutions for people, organizations, and ‘things’ – both now and into the future.

Major business potential

“

Setting up the Bosch smart-home subsidiary is an important strategic step toward pooling and expanding on our range of solutions for the smart home. Smart homes facilitate new services that make their occupants’ lives easier, and they offer major business potential,” says Dr. Stefan Hartung, the member of the board of management of Robert Bosch GmbH responsible for the Energy and Building Technology business sector. “The Bosch smart-home system is easy to install and operate: one system, one app, one user experience. Our solutions relieve users of tiresome routine tasks while offering them more convenience and safety,” adds Dr. Peter Schnäbele, the future Managing Director of the Stuttgart-based Robert Bosch Smart Home GmbH.

New services and an app make life easier

osch smart-home system solutions mean that a single platform is sufficient to interconnect the heating, lighting, smoke alarms, and appliances in a home. All these can then be operated simply using a smartphone or tablet. The core of the system is the Bosch smart-home controller, a central control unit that connects the components with each other and to the internet. In the future, users will be able to use the Bosch

preference settings. What is more, users can check their smartphone anytime, anywhere to see whether doors and windows are open or closed. In future versions of the door and window contact solution, the system will sound the alarm if a window or door is broken open when the occupant is absent – meaning there

will no longer be any need for a separate alarm system.

Compatible with other manufacturers’ devices

hen it comes to connectivity, Bosch believes open standards and open platforms will make the tech-

nology as user-friendly as possible. For this reason, the Bosch smart-home system is modular and expandable, and it is easy to connect compatible devices made by other manufacturers to it. The first Bosch smart-home products can be ordered from January 1, 2016 at www.bosch-smarthome.com.

Farpointe Data’s Long-Range RFID Solution The Ranger is now available from AMAG Technology

arpointe Data announce that AMAG Technology (Tewkesbury, Gloucestershire, UK and Torrance, California, USA) will be offering Farpointe’s long range RFID solution, known as Ranger®, for sale through their certified dealer network. “Ranger WRR-22 and WRR-44 receivers are a terrific solution for long range physical access control applications such as entering buildings, lifting gates and vehicle barriers, moving aircraft in and out of secure hangars, arming and disarming alarm systems as well as situations calling for emergency duress,” emphasizes Scott Lindley, Farpointe Data President, “Instead of using a long range card, which could activate more than one

device or door at a time, the transmitter holder selects exactly the mechanism to be immediately triggered.” Available in either a two- or fourbutton configuration and equipped standard with a weather-resistant potted proximity or contactless smart card module, the transmitter may also be used as a presentation-style access credential. According to Scott Pearson, Farpointe Data independents sales director, “With Ranger transmitters, a button may be pressed to access a long range application, such as a gated parking structure, and then be presented to a traditional access control reader to allow entry into the building.” Said Stephen ‘Shep’ Sheppard, Far-

pointe Data key accounts sales manager, “The new WRR-22 and WRR-44 receivers, operating at 433 MHz, both carry the CE Mark FCC certification, are ETL listed to the UL 294 standard, and are intended for use globally. They are available for immediate shipment.” Since 2003, Farpointe Data, a DORMA Group company, has become the trusted global partner for premium RFID solutions, including proximity, smart and long range solutions, for electronic access control professionals around the world. These specialists have come to count on Farpointe’s exacting designs, superior manufacturing, competitive prices and excellent performance to enhance their access control systems.

Hybrid Energy Solutions aimed at the Security Industry W avesight hybrid solutions open up new possibilities for surveillance by using leading-edge technology to offer up to 448 Watt peak solar power. The solar and wind power (as an option) solutions can supply the energy required by most CCTV camera and transmission combinations using abundant solar and wind energy. These solutions store energy during daylight hours enabling the system to operate throughout the night. This is very relevant in those areas or applications where power is scarce or difficult to provide and therefore expensive. Besides using leading edge engi-

neering skills and components from Germany and Europe, the design is unique. The vertically mounted solar panels are designed to store energy during the day and protect access to the batteries within a well designed and engineered package. Dirt and dust slides off the vertically mounted panels resulting in low maintenance. The alignment of the panels to the sunlight provides greater efficiency and output (than conventional panels), whilst existing electric poles can also be used in the deployment. Wavesight hybrid solutions are customized to solve the specific challenges faced by clients. Even with simple surveillance in remote locations, these hybrid solutions are customized to ensure that the camera and transmission devices remain operational 24-7 providing the protection and comfort needed by the customers. Across the world, thousands of organizations use these products to cost-ef-

Philips and Cisco Working Together on the Internet of Things and Power over Ethernet R oyal Philips and Cisco have announced a global strategic alliance aimed at addressing the Internet of things (IoT) in the commercial office lighting market. The commercial office lighting market has been a stable but fast growing market for some time; however with Philips (the world’s largest provider of commercial lighting products) and Cisco (the world’s largest provider of commercial networked products) now aligned, it could signal a significant shift in the direction for the industry. ‘Lighting in the IoT’ has recently been a major topic of conversation in lighting and communications companies. Although the concept of smart lighting in commercial applications has been around for decades, control systems are becoming steadily more complex, and the recent evolution of

the IoT universe is finally helping companies outside the lighting industry see new possibilities and take advantage of the increased opportunities a smart lighting system can provide. Thanks to improved communications to the luminaires, occupancy, movement and daylight sensors – as well as analytics and fault detection systems – facilities managers can now not only increase efficiency, but can also even help improve employee productivity. Current lighting control systems typically use a dedicated lighting control network, using either a wired system (such as DALI) or a wireless system. However with the falling power requirements of new high-efficiency LED lights, it is now possible to provide both power and communications capability to a luminaire using just one connection. While this power-over-Ethernet (POE)

capability increases the complexity of a building’s Ethernet network, it also offers the benefits of high data-rate communications with the luminaires, while also providing enhanced security options and reducing installation costs using infrastructure already installed in the building. In most cases it can even erase the need for a dedicated lighting-control network completely. However POE has only recently become commercially viable in lighting control systems, and so it has yet to achieve any significant penetration in the market. With Philips and Cisco now working on providing a competitive POE solution, this technology is poised for growth. However, questions still remain as to whether this technology can compete with other technologies already decades ahead of the adoption curve in this fast-growing market.

UL Acquires InfoGard to Broaden Company’s Range of Security Services

Purchase increases UL’s scope of services in high-growth accredited security assurance services in key vertical markets

L, a global safety science leader, has announced the acquisition of InfoGard, a market leader in accredited security assurance services for the payment sector and federally mandated IT security products, and positions UL in the healthcare IT and biometric secure authentication sectors. InfoGard, a privately held company based in San Luis Obispo, Calif., is a recognized leader in developing and providing testing, auditing, consulting, and certification services to leading IT solution providers in the Federal, Payment, and Healthcare IT markets.

UL acquired InfoGard because it enables capacity expansion in North America for its payment security business, adds technical capability and enhances UL for its federal business and diversification into new and emerging fields in the health IT and biometric secure authentication sectors. “Software and security assurance is a growing concern as more companies, individuals and governments deal with potential data breaches and vulnerable systems infrastructure in order to protect commerce, critical infrastructure, patient safety and privacy,”

said Berend van Geffen, VP & General Manager UL Transaction Security, “The combination of UL’s existing services with InfoGard will provide confidence to companies on the security of their systems and peace of mind to consumers.” UL and InfoGard’s combined portfolio will help strengthen global relationships with key customers. In addition, InfoGard will leverage UL’s global scale and resources to expand into new markets. InfoGard’s employees will join UL and remain with the company.

Tough Conditions in Latin American Video Surveillance Market

n economic downturn and exchange rate volatility are making business conditions tough for vendors of video surveillance equipment in a number of Latin American countries. As a result, the Latin American market is forecast to decline by 7.7% to $580 million in 2015. Brazil is the largest market in Latin America. Its economy has been suffering as lower demand from China has led to plunging commodity prices and a shrinking market for Brazilian commodity exports. At the same time, the average exchange rate of the Brazilian

Real was almost 37% lower versus the US Dollar in the first 10 months of 2015 than it was in 2014. Brazil is not alone. The average exchange rate of most currencies in Latin America have also fallen sharply against the Dollar. Even Mexico, which is enjoying comparatively good economic performance, has seen its currency slide. Most video surveillance equipment sold in Latin America is imported by overseas vendors rather than manufactured in the region. Even if these vendors have managed to grow their revJanuary 2016

enues in Latin American currencies, their revenues have often declined once converted back into their home currencies. IHS estimates that just two of the top fifteen vendors of video surveillance equipment in Latin America in 2014 were headquartered in the region. Prospects for the future of the Latin American market look brighter. IHS forecasts that the market will grow by over 10% in 2016. However, exchange rates could have a big effect again. Their role in the market should not be underestimated.
