Volume XII • Issue 3 • November 2015 (102 pages including 6 for cover) Editor-in-Chief Lt Col Pritam Singh Mehta (Retd.)

Associate Editor Santosh Pathak

Dear Readers, Greetings from IndiaSAFE!

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

In India’s fight against crime and terrorism, the capture of dreaded gangster Chhota Rajan in Bali towards the end of the month has, no doubt, paved the way for several interesting developments to follow in the coming months. Even before he has been extradited to India from Indonesia, Rajan set the stage for controversy by claiming that some Mumbai Police officials work hand in glove with India’s most wanted, Dawood Ibrahim.

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

While some claim that the don surrendered because he was tired of being on the run for about two decades and because the increasing threat of elimination by his once close confidante-turned-rival was looming large before him, others are mulling over which agency should get first custody once he is brought back to India. Although the maximum heinous-crime cases against him are in Maharashtra, the sensitivity of his earlier connections to the D-gang indicate that the Centre might interrogate him first. All in all, this is a huge Pandora’s box waiting to be opened and can well pave the way for some startling revelations, including how well or poorly we tackle crime and terrorism at the national and state levels.

In this issue we bring you a special section on the 61st ASIS Annual Seminar and Exhibits held at Anaheim, California from 28 September to 1 October, as well as white papers from Raytec on Creating Dynamic Lighting for Network Systems, and from Avigilon titled Record Locally, View Centrally, Manage Remotely. We also carry a feature article from ONVIF on Why the Internet of Things Changes Physical Security.

This month we celebrate Deepavali and during this Festival of Lights team IndiaSAFE wishes its readers a very happy and joyous festive season. May it pave the way for a year of prosperity and happiness.

Till we meet for the December issue and during IFSEC India, happy reading and stay safe!

With warm regards,

This year IFSEC India is expected to host 300 exhibitors from over 20 countries such as UK, USA, China, Taiwan, Malaysia, Australia, Canada, Singapore, Lithuania and South Africa. It is aiming to bring together about 15,000 trade visitors which will exceed the visitor turn-

out by 25% from last year.

Understanding how strong an interconnection technology shares with the security industry, IFSEC India 2015 will proactively decipher relevant insights gained in the global security market for Indian security professionals and is conducting a conference based on the theme of safe cities covering a diversity of topics such as smart cities and IoT, among others.

This year companies such as Aditya, Autocop, Dahua, Enter, Hi-Focus, Hikvision, Lookman, Secureye, Securico, Tech Smart, Uniview, Zebronics have come on-board as Premier Plus partners so far, while Premier Partners are Acsys, Avtron, Canon, Com-Sur, Godrej Security Solutions, Honeywell, Infinova, Keeper, Messung, MR Impex, Nitgen, Ozone, Panasonic, Starex Global and Wavesight.

VIVOTEK Secures India Cosmos Bank’s Greatest Asset: The People of Pune

V

IVOTEK has successfully installed 132 VIVOTEK network cameras across the headquarters of India Cosmos Bank, the second oldest bank in India. Thanks to cooperation with professional partner Bajaj Electricals, the Cosmos Bank is now under the protection of VIVOTEK’s IP surveillance solutions.

Established in 1906, the Cosmos Co-operative Bank has recently completed an impressive 109 years of service, with multi-state status attained in 1997. Cosmos Bank operates a huge network of 140 branches in India spreading across 7 States and in 39 major cities. The headquarters of bank is in a building with an inbuilt datacenter and high security safe in the center of Pune, India. In order to come up with a complete security system to minimize the risk impact, Cosmos Bank engaged

Bajaj Electricals to deploy VIVOTEK’s solutions to meet three key risks: threats to people, to property, and to the image of the Bank.

A total of 132 VIVOTEK network November 2015

only 90 mm in diameter offers discreet protection for visitors. For the basement parking area, 29 IP8335H bulletnetwork cameras were utilized. This camera features day and night functionality and IP67-rated weatherproof housing, allowing Cosmos Bank to build a cost-effective IP surveillance system without additional accessories. Finally, 4 SD8326 speed dome network cam-

eras secured the periphery of Cosmos Bank’s headquarters. With a sophisticated pan/ tilt mechanism, this camera provides fast, precise movement with continuous 360-degree pan and 220-degree tilt. It also offers audio detection; by recognizing increases or decreases in sound volume, an additional layer of intrusion detection is ensured.

Sanjeev Gulati, Country Manager

of India & SAARC, VIVOTEK said, “There are many exterior factors that have to be considered when setting up a security system for a bank. VIVOTEK is honored to cooperate with a local partner, and provide high-level reliability and thus make the headquarters of Cosmos Bank more secure for staff, the owners, and the bank’s treasured customers.”

Advanced lens technology

W

ith the latest Canon technology designed to ensure maximum performance, the latest Canon network cameras feature two types of lenses; the High UD and Super UD. Super UD lenses minimise inconsistent focus under visible and infrared light, and help maintain accurate focus and high resolution when switching between light sources and the High UD counteracts chromatic aberration whilst reducing the lens’ overall physical size, making these the first Canon network cameras with High UD lenses.

The new network camera range comes equipped with Profile S ONVIF compatibility, allowing for simple integration with the majority of VMS platforms, as well as Profile G,

for the recording, searching, and playback of footage from the edge recording device. These new cameras offer system integrators and end users the product format, performance, durability, compliance and certifications that the evolving security market is now demanding, helping these devices to stand out as true high-end network video surveillance cameras for indoor and outdoor use.

Leveraging Canon’s renowned DIGIC DV III Processor and DIGIC Net II Network Video Processor technology, the network cameras are designed to deliver superb video quality that can be streamed in multiple resolutions and codecs (H.264 and M-JPEG) to meet various end-user needs. Combined with the latest H.264 algorithm updates, Canon’s network cameras will be able to deliver high quality image resolution at a lower bit rate. This allows users a more storage-efficient manner of transferring security footage.

WHITE PAPER

Record Locally, View Centrally, Manage Remotely A

s Forbes Insights found in a recent study, many organizations under utilize video surveillance in their business. The majority of those surveyed (58 percent) said they cover less than half of their valuable assets with video surveillance; unsurprisingly, businesses with widely distributed assets, such as remotely located power stations or cell towers, face particular challenges covering a majority of their assets with video surveillance.

According to the same survey, of respondents who do use video surveillance, a majority (66 percent) said that for the locations or facilities where video surveillance is in use, fewer than half are actively monitored by security personnel. The top concern preventing more monitoring is cost-effectiveness (52 percent of respondents).

Recent advances in digital video technologies make it possible to address concerns about the effectiveness and cost of active monitoring, as well as dealing with bandwidth issues for remote sites. Deploying increased intelligence in cameras and in devices at the edge of the network can ensure that people get access to the right video data in a timely manner.

Addressing the challenge of remote sites

V

ideo surveillance can be a very effective way of securing and managing dispersed and remote assets. By

providing immediate ‘eyes on’ any remote site, centralized personnel can respond to security threats and even operational issues quickly and appropriately.

However, simply having the cameras available is not enough, because streaming all that video to a centralized location is at best a waste of resources, and may not be possible at all.

Streaming video across long distances can be problematic and costly.

Beyond the obvious question of bandwidth limitations, intermittent increases in latency or drops in throughput quickly lead to lost data. The best solution for drastically reducing the opportunity for data loss is to keep the recording as close to the cameras as economically viable.

When coupled with greater intelligence at the edge through video-analyticsenabled cameras, this approach offers opportunities to significantly reduce the amount of data that needs to be sent to a central location in the first place.

Video analytics is software that analyzes a video stream to make sense of what is happening in a scene. Typically, video analytics is used to alert security personnel about events that may require action, reducing the need to constantly monitor all the cameras. And video analytics can also provide the intelligence to reduce bandwidth and storage requirements. Video analytics performed on or near the camera allows all the video to be analyzed and tagged with metadata and then streamed to a local video recorder that intelligently decides November 2015

whether to record based on live events.

This dramatically reduces the amount of footage recorded, minimizing storage and bandwidth needs without losing critical data. Furthermore, when a remote investigator needs to search the video, the metadata can be very quickly searched, retrieved and presented to the user, so that only the essential video

needs to be retrieved and transmitted over a long distance.

Ultrahigh resolution cameras provide great coverage of vast areas, reducing total camera count while still providing enough detail for identification purposes. But ultrahigh resolution cameras increase the challenge for bandwidth and storage management, particularly in remote sites with limited information technology resources. Avigilon’s High Definition Stream Management (HDSM)™ technology coupled with a local recording server makes it possible to deploy cameras with very high resolution even in remote sites with limited bandwidth. Because HDSM technology ensures that only the appropriate resolution and portion of video is transmitted from the server to the viewing client (in both live and recorded video), a centrally located investigator can efficiently view video from any Avigilon camera: From 1 megapixel through 7K (30 MP), all can be viewed over a connection with limited bandwidth.

Why not record on the camera itself?

In an effort to keep the recording as close to the camera as possible, many would like to do away with the recorder completely. This is a good strategy if a site has only one or two cameras with modest resolution, but as soon as the resolution of a camera is greater than 3 MP, and/ or storage requirements are for multiple weeks or even months, the solid state storage used in most cameras becomes prohibitively expensive or simply unavailable in sufficiently large quantities to meet the specific application. Our analysis shows that the total cost of ownership of a system per unit of storage can quickly reach 10 times that of an equivalent system with spinning disks.

These cost differentials and storage capacity limitations may be reduced or even eliminated with time; but for now, the most efficient solution is a recorder with spinning disks such as Avigilon Control Center (ACC) Edge Solution (ES) High Definition (HD) Recorder.

each device must receive regular updates to its firmware. With hundreds or even thousands of devices on the network, managing updates of each device individually can quickly become a problem.

Avigilon ensures that every update of recorder software also updates the cameras attached to the recorder by packaging the latest firmware for each model of Avigilon camera with every server update.

System administrators can remotely deploy and manage recorder software updates from a single, central location and automatically cascade updates to all the individual devices. This enables system administrators to quickly update the entire system at once, making it easier to keep the system healthy.

In addition, the system administrator has a holistic view of the entire system

November 2015

and can verify that each device is functioning as intended. If a problem should occur, it is easy to remotely troubleshoot the issue.

To ensure the privacy of the lawabiding people who are being surveilled, it is necessary to manage the access rights and system permissions of people who can view the video. Systems with many thousands of devices will often have hundreds of users. If access to every device or every site needs to be managed individually, keeping user roles and privileges up to date is a very heavy administrative burden. It is essential to ensure that people’s access rights are appropriately updated as they move to different positions in an organization, or removed immediately when they leave the organization. Avigilon lets administrators manage user access and privileges centrally for all sites and devices and enables delegation of responsibility for this administration along regional or other lines, to ensure that the burden of administration does not need to rest with a single individual.

In addition, Avigilon enables users to access the sites and devices that they need quickly and efficiently, even in a large, distributed system. Users can find and access the sites that they need with a minimum of effort, so they can see what is relevant, organized in a logical fash-

he Avigilon solution makes better security of remote sites more costeffective in many ways. With our ultrahigh resolution cameras, you can cover more area with fewer cameras, lowering installation, licensing and maintenance costs. Combined with our HDSM 2.0 technology and our ability to record at the network edge, you can increase image resolution while minimizing the requirements – and costs – for storage and bandwidth. And by incorporating video

analytics, one operator can monitor 10 times the number of screens, optimizing security personnel workload and capabilities. With roaming guards, Murphy’s law says that something will happen in the location where the guard isn’t. With remote monitoring and video analytics, you can reduce costs while ensuring that your security personnel don’t miss a thing.

Conclusion

T

here are many challenges to keeping multiple remote sites secure.

Deploying on-site security personnel is usually too expensive. Video surveillance can be challenging due to inadequate IT resources at remote sites, which

November 2015

29

can limit the ability to view and record video data. And when there are many remote sites, the number of devices and complexity of the system can create challenges for system administration, maintenance and even users trying to view the right data. Avigilon addresses these issues with an end-to-end security system incorporating ultrahigh definition cameras, video analytics and video recorders that operate at the network’s edge. The system is designed to reduce storage and bandwidth requirements while minimizing administration and maintenance time. Taken together, the Avigilon system makes it cost-effective to protect all of your assets no matter how remote they are.

Key Security Industry Influencers and Buyers Attend ASIS International Seminar and Exhibits Verified preliminary attendance was 17,484, which was below expectations, but exhibitors, both large and small, reported the quality of attendees had increased. ASIS has contracted with BPA Worldwide to perform an independent audit of the preliminary attendance numbers, the results of which will be available by the end of 2015. As it has each year since 2009, ASIS makes this documentation publicly available and is the largest, dedicated security show that does so.

ASIS 2015 marked the fifth consecutive year for the colocation of the (ISC)2 Security Congress with the Annual Seminar and Exhibits. (ISC)2 is the largest not-for-profit membership body of certified information security professionals worldwide. The colocation of these two events provides professionals – both Seminar and Congress registrants – access to a comprehensive offering of security education, products, and technologies, as well as networking events. The need for operational and cyber security professionals to possess core knowledge of both areas of practice is critical as technology and the security profession evolve.

ASIS participated in the U.S. Department of Commerce International Buyer Program (IBP) for the first time this year.

As part of the IBP, exhibitors met one-on-one with delegations that together comprised about 200 pre-screened buyers as well as specialists from key regions throughout the world to discuss market trends and consult on opportunities for new business.

ASIS plans to partner with the Department of Commerce in 2016 and looks to expand future offerings.

The ASIS International 62nd Annual Seminar and Exhibits (ASIS 2016) will take place September 12-15, 2016 in Orlando, Fl. where (ISC)2 will once again colocate its Security Congress. Online registration will open in January 2016.

In 2016, ASIS will offer advance exhibits-only registration free-of-charge. A nominal fee for nonmembers will be charged on-site.

Education session development will also begin in early 2016 with a call for presentations opening this November. Session submissions are reviewed and evaluated by a committee of security industry experts, with only the most highly rated

t the ASIS International 61st Annual Seminar and Exhibits (ASIS 2015), operational and cyber security practitioners from 87 countries came together to acquire new knowledge and explore innovative product and service solutions.

Held Sept. 28 through Oct. 1, 2015 at the Anaheim Convention Center, ASIS 2015 participants addressed the latest challenges and trends affecting security.

“Security practitioners cannot afford to stand still. There must be a continuous investment in education and peer-topeer interface to keep pace with the latest threats and potential mitigation strategies. Having earned both a CPP and a CISSP credential, I am one of many security professionals who recognizes the evolution of the industry and have chosen to dualcertify in both operational and cyber security” stated Dave N. Tyson, CPP, CISSP, 2015 President of ASIS. The ASIS Seminar and Exhibits sets itself apart in the security industry as it is the only conference to offer security professionals a distinctive and robust blend of high-quality, peerdeveloped education and valuable face-to-face networking.

Career-minded security professionals from around the world acquire critical knowledge and strategies from leading experts that enable them to excel in their profession. Quality networking opportunities with peers further support their advancement and achievement of their career goals.

“ASIS has always been a great platform for us to meet with our current customers and partners. Many of these meetings allow all the stakeholders to be face-to-face,” observed Jay Phillips, manager, trade shows, Allegion, “Of course, the show is also a great place to engage high-quality prospects.”

“For the first time in our history, we experienced an unqualified victory. We received more than 100 qualified leads from around the world,” said Lew Pincus, CEO, Gamma 2 Robotics, “G4S confirmed an initial order for 10 robots, with several others expressing interest and potential for even larger partnerships. Federal agencies initiated the exploration process and other organizations sought to undertake pilots. The results were tangible.”

Registration for ASIS 2015 totaled more than 21,000.

to allow users to upgrade or downgrade individual access levels as needed, as well as to lock down either specific doors or an entire facility in a panic or crisis situation. For example, if a chemical spill were to occur, Crisis Mode could be used to lock out everyone except members of the hazmat team – whose access would only be activated when the lockdown occurred – out of that particular area. Crisis Mode is ideal for educational facilities of all sizes.

In addition, System Galaxy has also been enhanced with a new command card feature. Designed for K-12 educational facility control, this capability allows end users to issue access cards that are designated for specific functions based on userestablished rules. For example, if an individual has reserved a facility for two hours, they can be issued a card that will unlock the doors and disarm the alarm system for that predetermined amount of time. When two hours have passed, the doors will be locked and the alarm system will be armed automatically.

ing providing additional training for dealers and integrators on the Vanderbilt access control platforms. Centric to the training is the continuation of the relationship building that Vanderbilt has found to be most beneficial when delivering superior products and service to customers and end users.

Vanderbilt connected with both end users and integrators, and spoke with Scott Goldfine of Security Sales & Integration about how the company is actively seeking dealers/ integrators with particular geographic and/ or vertical market qualifications. Vanderbilt appeared in the most recent issue of SSI, with a discussion on open platform-based access control solutions and its key acquisitions.

Adding in Vanderbilt’s focus on training and additional services, this makes the company an intriguing potential partner that offers more than just award-winning access control solutions to end users.

Over the course of the three-day trade show, Vanderbilt enjoyed the steady flow of traffic, showcasing the company’s lite blue®, bright blue® and Security Management System (SMS) solutions, as well as VI Connect, which is a custom-configurable data management system that helps load the appropriate users and maintains records in various connected systems to ensure access permissions are consistent. VI Connect takes the information gathered from multiple, disparate systems and inputs that information into Vanderbilt’s SMS, which results in access permissions. This year, Vanderbilt was able to demonstrate this new technology to key vertical markets, such as banking and higher education – with one of the most recent installs at Oregon State University.

“We are honored to be recognized by our customers through this prestigious award. After all, it’s about the unique user experience with our Optera cameras – and users are our customers,” said Herve Fages, Senior Vice President, Video Line of Business at Pelco by Schneider Electric, “No other competitor in the market today has an innovative camera solution that produces the seamless, high quality panoramic images that Optera delivers. And, the difference is immediately apparent to users. They no longer have to look past the visual imperfections; with Optera, users only see the cohesive panoramic views, much like the human eye.”

Optera was one of 42 new product and service solutions submitted to the ASIS 2015 Accolades Competition. Each year, the awards are voted on by a panel of end users and experts, and are presented to the companies with the most innovative new technology solutions based on level of innovation, unique attributes and the benefit the solution brings to the security industry.

ASIS 2015 Concentrates on more than Just Product Offerings

A

s Vanderbilt wrapped up another trade show season with participation in the 2015 ASIS International Seminar and Exhibits in Anaheim, Calif., both integrators and end users learned a bit more about the company’s latest technology and acquisition of Siemens Security Products. It was the overall feel of the show, however, that left some to wonder how companies can offer more than just a product.

In a discussion with SourceSecurity Editor Larry Anderson, Vanderbilt President Mitchell Kane talked about Vanderbilt’s dedication to their customers and the emphasis the company places on maintaining the relationship. “We are a customer service organization,” Kane said to Anderson, “We also happen to manufacture products. It’s all about customer support.”

Many of the trends emphasized at this year’s ASIS show included the ‘added value’ that Vanderbilt is known for, includNovember 2015

Bosch Eases Interfacing of Fire Detection and Voice Evacuation Systems B osch Security Systems has introduced a new release of its Smart Safety Link, easing the interfacing of fire panels and voice evacuation systems even further. Smart Safety Link uses the IP protocol to connect Bosch fire panels and voice evacuation systems and to configure them accordingly. It supports every single connection, no matter how many zones have been configured in the evacuation system. The IP connection substitutes four relay-based connections per zone and thus drastically reduces both installation effort and error-proneness. It also increases operational reliability as the IP connection is supervised continuously. Future extensions no longer require additional cabling but can be implemented via software.

The current release of Smart Safety Link supports Bosch’s Modular Fire Panel Series 5000 and S Series 1200 as well as the PRAESIDEO and PAVIRO voice evacuation systems. Depending on the application, one or multiple voice

evacuation systems are connected to the networked fire panels, enabling tailor made campus solutions. This flexibility and the systems’ modular design allow the installer to adapt the solution easily to a customer's specific requirements.

Further, Smart Safety Link eliminates the need to install additional, specific interface modules between voice evacuation systems, simplifying the solution design and further increasing reliability.

In case of an alarm, a fire panel can activate the respective zone within the voice evacuation system. Doing so, Smart Safety Link allows the evacuation to be dynamically adapted to the building's structure. Each floor is addressed and securely evacuated individually, depending of the current situation. This

increases safety and guarantees an optimized evacuation process. Security staff can interact with the solution using the fire panel's touch screen.

For system integrators, Smart Safety Link is a very efficient tool for quick and reliable integration of fire panels and voice evacuation systems. This solution is much more flexible and scalable than common connections and reduces installation time for example, for ten evacuation zones, from two hours to two seconds.

Mirasys VMS Version 7.4 The interface created for users

M

irasys latest software release, Mirasys 7.4, has been improved based on customer feedback making the Mirasys Spotter interface even more user friendly and feature rich.

With the new Spotter Mixed Playback Mode users can simultaneously view

live and playback recordings in the same tab. Mirasys Spotter can now be used as a standalone media player – there is no need for a server connection.

New features include improvements to joystick controls and the ability to share comments on Alarm events with

Spotter Bookmarks plus Built-in Help for users. Automatic Port Forwarding eliminates the need to carry out manual router configuration for each server or client separately.

“If there is an incident that needs to be acted upon, the Spotter Mixed Playback Mode allows the user to keep monitoring the live cameras, but at the same time on the same screen also simultaneously review recorded material for the same and/ or other cameras while investigating the incident,” said Petri Bäckström, Security Product Line Director, at Mirasys Ltd. The Spotter Player executable makes it possible to use Spotter as a standalone media player using Spotter without a server connection; no installation is needed, you just run the executable program. You can view both video clips and archives, use plugins such as the 360 dewarping plugin for video clips and archives. You can distribute a video clip or archive with the ‘no-installation

required’ Spotter Player.

Spotter Bookmarks makes it easy to create, share and export comments on events (alarms or otherwise). The Spotter User Guide provides built in support to help answer any questions you might have using the interface.

Joystick related improvements cover areas like controlling layouts, I/Os, PTZ presets, PTZ tours, automatic joystick axis configuration and configuration import/ export for easier deployment to multiple client PCs. Automatic Port Forwarding gives users the ability to connect to one or more VMS servers and use them from client applications located behind NAT (Network Address Translation) routers without requiring manual router configuration for each server or client separately.

“Several smaller feature developments improve not only the single feature but the overall user experience,” said Petri Bäckström.

New AutoVu Free-Flow Off-Street Parking Enforcement Solution AutoVu Free-Flow™ now installed at University of British Columbia in Vancouver to optimize parking enforcement efficiency

G

enetec, Inc. has announced that its Genetec™ AutoVu™ Free-Flow, a new parking enforcement module for the AutoVu™ automatic license plate recognition (ALPR) solution is now available from its network of certified installers. The new AutoVu™ Free-Flow module helps increase parking enforcement efficiency by providing a real-time inventory of vehicles parked illegally in monitored parking lots.

GenetecAutoVu™ Free-Flow records the license plate of vehicles entering and leaving each parking lot, and compares them to the list of payments received from connected pay-by-plate-enabled pay stations, permit management systems, and mobile apps. Vehicles that stay beyond their purchased parking period

are flagged in a live report, highlighting violations awaiting enforcement. AutoVu™ Free-Flow also automatically identifies returning scofflaws as they enter a parking lot, and notifies parking enforcement officers of their arrival and location.

AutoVu™ Free-Flow can also be used in conjunction with mobile ALPR vehicles. Vehicles placed on the AutoVu™ Free-Flow violations list are available through the Genetec™ Security Center interface, or synchronized dynamically with parking enforcement vehicles using AutoVu™ Patroller to maximize enforcement efficiency.

AutoVu™, AutoVu™ Free-Flow is helping the university transition to a gateless parking system.

Parking operators at UBC Parking Services have leveraged ALPR technology to simplify the enforcement task, minimizing the search for physical stickers, and covering more parking lots in less time. AutoVu™ Free-Flow has also been implemented to optimize enforcement routes and maximize resources.

With a fixed AutoVu™ camera mounted at the entry and exit of each parking lot, the system tracks vehicles entering and exit-

ing, and automatically alerts enforcement officers to vehicles in violation; these include vehicle owners who have not paid, vehicles that have not left the lot once their allotted time has expired, and vehicles with prior parking violations.

“By going gateless with the Auto™ Vu ALPR system, we have improved our enforcement productivity by 40%, deferred $400,000 in capital expenses on gate barriers, and reduced operational costs by $200,000 for each parking lot. We have also been able to reduce our greenhouse gases by 150lbs per parking

lot every year, since there is no more idling at entry and exit gates,” explains Brian Jones, Director of Parking and Access Control Services at UBC. Enforcement teams can then pull violation reports and plan their routes according to the number of actual violations in each lot. AutoVu™ Free-Flow also provides real-time lot counts so that UBC can use key performance indicators to either improve overall parking services, or direct traffic to available parking lots when an influx of vehicles is expected.

Farpointe Advises on How to Protect the Wiegand Protocol from Attack President Scott Lindley outlines what users, integrators and manufacturers can do to deter hacking of Wiegand Systems

F

arpointe Data, a DORMA Group Company, the access control industry’s trusted global partner for RFID solutions, recently announced that since Wiegand is no longer considered inherently secure due to its obscure and non-standard nature, users, integrators and manufacturers need to be on-guard.

Wiegand is the industry standard protocol commonly used to communicate credential data from a card reader to an electronic access controller. In these attacks, a credential’s identifier is cloned, or captured, and is then retransmitted via a small electronic device to grant unauthorized access to an office or other facility.

“Instead of skimming, eavesdropping and relay attacks on the card itself, more sophisticated hackers are attacking the Wiegand system,” explains Scott Lindley, Farpointe Data President, “For those that consider this a problem – and many should – the good news is that there are a series of remedies that can be taken by users themselves, integrators and manufacturers of access control systems. We’ll be discussing these in depth with attendees at the ISC East Show at

the Javits Center North in New York City November 18-19 in our booth #533.”

According to Lindley, card holders should avoid presenting access control credentials to any access readers that appear to have been tampered with. Secondly, these same card holders should be encouraged to quickly report any suspicions of access control system tampering, including instances involving either the access control readers or access credentials to the facility’s security and management teams.

Among a series of antidotes, integrators should install only readers that are fully potted – and immediately suggest an upgrade to those that are not – to stop any access to the internal electronics from the unsecured side of the building.

Mounting screws should be hidden from normal view. Security screws should be considered. Using a continuous overall foil shield tied to a solid earth ground will help block signals. Perhaps the easiest solution is to deploy access control readers with an output alternative to the industry-standard Wiegand output, provided they are supported by the electronic access control system. AlternaNovember 2015

tives can include ABA Track II, OSDP, RS485 and TCP/ IP. Access control system manufacturers can provide credentials other than those formatted in the open, industry standard 26-bit Wiegand. Not only is the 26-bit Wiegand format available for open use but many of the codes have been duplicated multiple times. They can also offer a custom format with controls in-place to govern duplication and avoid multi-technology readers as duplication risks increase. Credentials that include anti-tamper technology such as Valid ID, indicate to the system when it detects tampering. Credentials with an anti-playback routine, such as transmitters as used in Farpointe’s Ranger Series instead of cards also provide additional safety. Among still other remedies, they can also provide a smart card solution that employs sophisticated cryptographic security techniques. An example is a MIFARE® DESFire™ EV1 card making use of AES 128-bit encryption.

“We must always stay one step ahead of the bad guys,” adds Lindley, “There are many ways to obviate card system security, whether via the card it-

self or via the Wiegand communication protocol. We will be highlighting how any of these assaults can be defended at ISC East.”

Since 2003, Farpointe Data, a DOR-

MA 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.

CYCLOPE Version 3.8 is Available Now

C

YCLOPE is the automatic intrusion detection and tracking software analyzing the 360-degree high-resolution images captured by the SPYNEL sensors. The SPYNEL/ CYCLOPE tandem is much more than a surveillance camera: this powerful combination provides

unprecedented real-time security against conventional and asymmetrical threats.

For nearly 15 years, HGH’s teams

have developed advanced algorithms for detection and tracking of all types of targets: humans, vehicles, RIBs, jet skis, wooden skiffs (pirates), ULM, helicopters, aircraft, drones etc.

At a glance, CYCLOPE allows the visualization of multiple targets over 360 degrees. But much more than that, the CYCLOPE software can alert and report on all intrusions that an operator could not pick up by himself through simple observation. It also relieves the operator from scanning the image permanently and missing a target during lapses of attention.

This new release of CYCLOPE software is of course fully compatible with the latest HGH’s sensor, the compact and

cost-effective infrared radar SPYNELM. It also includes new functionalities, such as: ● New Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) monitoring capabilities. ● New cueing capabilities on fusionned target by a click in zoom window (data fusion from multiple sensors – AIS, ARPA is available from CYCLOPE v3.5). ● New track display capabilities into replay/ timeshift mode. ● New settings saving functions. ● New management of SPYNEL-S elevation and axis measurement. ● New operating guidebook in compiled HTML format.

The CYCLOPE software upgrade, from older release to v3.8, is available for free.

illuminator for the best performance.

Used in this way, lighting can be instantly adjusted to deliver the best CCTV images at any time, or to respond to operational changes on site. And in the case of visible white-light illumination, it can also be utilised as a highly effective deterrent.

Network lighting also makes the final stages of commissioning the installation and ongoing maintenance much easier. Rather than making final adjustment to illuminator settings in situ, often up a ladder or lift, installers now have quick access to the lighting at any time using a computer. This reduces visits to site and minimises labour time and costs.

Web Interface Features ● Quick access home screen for operator control and instant response to live events. ● Instant control of individual or group of lights. ● Basic settings: power on/ off, boost and deterrent lighting. ● User defined advanced settings including: timers, deterrent settings, photocell sensitivity settings, selectable external telemetry input, soft start, network settings, setting up lamp names/ group names. ● Diagnostics for instant feedback on the status of each light. ● Fully password protected with separate user and administrator.

ith the growth of IP surveillance, the ability to remotely control and program cameras via a network infrastructure has become industry standard. Consequently, the need for dedicated network lighting is becoming increasingly important for all high security installations, to ensure full dynamic control over site security 24/7.

This, and the fact all cameras need light to produce their best pictures, has seen the development of IP addressable network illumination.

Security professionals can now control their lighting from anywhere on the network in the same way they control their IP cameras, either directly through a web interface or via other network devices using VMS/ BMS, HTTP commands and camera applications.

Lighting can now play an increasingly important role in a fully integrated security system, seamlessly operating in conjunction with other network devices to create a smart system capable of delivering an instant, situation-dependent response for improved security and safety.

In this paper we provide examples of how to utilise Raytec VARIO IP network illuminators for: ● Instant live control. ● Advanced lighting settings. ● Full system integration and automatic operation.

To take instant control over the lighting via the web interface operators can press the ‘override button’ on the quick access homepage, allowing 30 minutes of live control before the system reverts to automatic settings.

Instant control offers users the opportunity to: ● Adjust the power of an individual illuminator or group of illuminators. ● Short term boost the power of an illuminator or group of illuminators by 20%. ● Put an illuminator or group of illuminators into deterrent mode.

If an operator does not recognise the subject, they can use the live deterrent function to trigger lighting into a warning flashing mode, to deter an intrusion on site

Operating modes

after work but not illuminating the area all night when no employees are on site. This feature can be used to conserve energy and running costs.

In addition, the time of day that the lights turn on can also be changed at any time. The illuminator’s perception of ‘darkness’ can be set to a lower or higher level as desired by altering the photocell sensitivity, and hence causing the lighting to turn on sooner or later (photocell sensitivity adjustment can be accessed on the advanced settings page).

T

here are three operating modes on the illuminator, accessible via the web interface settings/ groups page.

– Local: Illuminator controlled by its own photocell and telemetry input.

– VMS: Illuminator responds to commands originated in the VMS/ BMS environment.

– HTTP: Illuminator can respond to direct HTTP commands from any other device on the network including VMS, camera etc.

Lighting can be photocell controlled to turn on automatically during the hours of darkness and turn off when it becomes light again

Group control

G

roups of illuminators can also be created via the settings/ groups page. By putting the illuminators in defined groups, such as fence lines, means that large sites can be easily managed with one illuminator triggering all of the others in its group.

Externally triggered lighting

L

ighting can also be triggered from an external device.

Once connected via the illuminator’s telemetry input, an external device such as a camera or PIR detector can activate a single illuminator or group of illuminators upon detection of a subject, for example. This is highly effective when creating a dynamic, advanced lighting system designed to provide a visible response to activity on site. Similar to the photocell control, lighting can be set to remain active for the duration of the external input or set to remain on for a specific length of time.

To make an individual illuminator the ‘leader’ of a group and control all other illuminators in that group it can be set to ‘Send & Receive.’ To add an illuminator to a group as a ‘follower’ to be controlled via the leader, it can be set to ‘Receive Only’

Illuminator inputs and outputs

A good system uses lighting as an interactive tool, fully integrated with other technologies on site to produce a highly responsive and effective system 24/7 Scenario A: Event driven intelligent activation

N

etwork lighting can be used to deliver smart lighting systems that are pre-programmed to automatically respond to ‘events.’

A site can be illuminated to a lower light level (e.g., 20%) using the photocell to turn on an individual illuminator or a group of illuminators when it becomes dark and providing enough illumination to enable acceptable pictures and video analytics. It can then be configured to be automatically boosted to 100% light power on event, triggered via an external device input for a pre-determined period of time.

Network lighting can be used to deliver smart lighting systems that are pre-programmed to automatically respond to ‘events’

e.g., when the photocell becomes active and the illuminator turns on (upon detecting darkness), the illuminator can send an output to trigger cameras into night mode – or upon the illuminator turning on via external input (e.g., upon camera software detecting motion), it can send an output to activate a non-network device e.g., a gate or a siren alarm.

Automatic lighting boost triggered via camera motion detection

F

or example, car park lighting can be triggered on or boosted to full power via camera motion detection software when a car approaches a gate or via a trigger from the sensor on the barrier, providing lighting for general illumination purposes.

Full system integration and automatic operation

L

ighting should not be a static, stand-alone entity when it comes to designing high security systems. A good system uses lighting as an interactive tool, fully integrated with other technologies on site to produce a highly responsive and effective system 24/7.

Now with the development of network illuminators, this is even easier to achieve.

Network illuminators can be triggered by alarms from network devices including cameras, detectors, video analytics or another network device to create a dynamic system which is instantly and automatically responsive to activity on site. Used on demand, illumination is highly effective at detecting and deterring crime and also allows systems to use lighting only when needed to reduce running costs and environmental impact. The same illuminator can also provide a safe and well lit area for pedestrians or workers.

November 2015

This approach can be used with infra-red, white-light, or both; for example IR used to covertly survey the scene during darkness and visible white-light triggered on alarm.

Or, in the same way that visible white-light illumination can be triggered on demand, infra-red can be set to an ‘off’ position and triggered ‘on’ only in the case of a site event in conjunction with camera recording, to provide illumination to 64

Lighting for the future

generate night time surveillance footage only when needed.

This technique of using lighting on demand offers significant energy and cost savings by only applying the light where and when it is needed. Each external trigger can be used to trigger one light or a whole group of lights and a group of lights can have one external trigger, or many external triggers.

T

he future of lighting is evolving and moving towards being even smarter and more responsive.

There has been a steady increase in the number of installations exploiting the benefits and many advantages of intelligent illumination. Higher levels of security derived from using lighting in conjunction with other technologies onsite have played a major role in this. Moreover, their cost effectiveness and minimal environmental impact have also made network lighting a popular choice for high security CCTV. Dynamic lighting which is instantly responsive to activity on site is becoming increasingly important for all high security installations, and is something that we can expect to see a lot more of in the near future.

Raytec’s range of VARIO IP Network Illuminators has won an IFSEC ‘Best Product Award,’ a Security Essen ‘Technology Innovation Award’ and an Inter-traffic China ‘Product Innovation Award.’ It has since been collecting accolades from all around the world including the ISC West product awards (USA), GIT security awards (Germany), and Lux Live awards and the PSI Premier Awards (both UK), to name a few.

VARIO IP is the first lighting range to be fully integrated with a wide variety of network devices and platforms, allowing for the smart and easy use of lighting in conjunction with your whole security system. VARIO IP is most recently integrated with Avigilon and Axis ACAP camera platforms, for direct lighting and camera communications and instant lighting response via camera events. VARIO IP also integrates with a variety of VMS systems including Milestone and Mirasys. In addition VARIO IP offers an API to seamlessly integrate and operate VARIO IP within your specific platform.

Automatic deterrent ‘flashing’ lighting triggered via fence line sensor

F

or example, fence line sensors detecting a person attempting to breach the perimeter can automatically trigger and (if required) flash the section of perimeter lighting and hence provide a powerful visual deterrent.

In addition, the frequency of the deterrent can be defined – e.g., how fast or slow, and the type of lighting pattern e.g., slow wave or an SOS style lighting response, along with all other settings such as the duration of time the illuminator(s) will remain flashing in deterrent mode.

Scenario B: Event driven lighting deactivation

S

imilarly to lighting being activated on demand, lighting can also be deactivated on demand.

A group of visible white-light illuminators e.g., car park lights, could be photocell activated to turn on during the hours of darkness.

Operated in conjunction with video management analytics, the camera or VMS system could send an input to the master illuminator when the last car leaves the compound to turn the lights off, or reduce the light output to a lower percentage.

This approach is often used to conserve energy and reduce running costs. Any individual light or group of lights can be overridden and activated live at any point during an ‘off phase’ in the event of activity on site.

Higher levels of security can be achieved from using lighting in conjunction with other technologies on-site The development of network illumination paves the way for even more power and flexibility at your fingertips to control your lighting to your exact specification, and Raytec is dedicated to continuing the evolution of lighting in the security industry.

search for the Internet of Things generates millions of hits on Google on any given day. Searches for Barack Obama and the World Cup generate much fewer hits, to give some perspective. The Internet of Things (IoT) is an idea that many people from across the world are talking about.

There is healthy debate on what constitutes an Internet of Things. Discussions about IoT often center on what IoT might mean to future technologies, product development and sales, without really defining it. Others argue that an Internet of things already exists, made up by the integrations of mobile, network and web-based applications, with Web

3.0 promising to deliver an even more personalized user experience. Some technologists believe that the term IoT only refers to the connection of objects to other objects, and have coined the term ‘Internet of Everything’ instead, which consists of the ‘smart networks’ needed to connect all of these objects.

There are also serious security concerns about the information exchanged when connecting all of these things together and creating new access points that leave the safety of a well-secured and finite network. Early IoT devices are already facing criticism for their vulnerabilities and their potential for poor security practices, covert data collection, loss of control of devices and invasions of privacy. Several well-respected figures, including Stephen Hawking, Bill Gates and Elon Musk, have expressed

concern over the blending of IoT with artificial intelligence. They say there are real dangers in having machines make decisions and control objects.

The physical security community’s discussion of IoT is somewhat different from those of other industries. Our business is securing things, people and information and we seek to make assets safe using a combination of physical barriers and technological tools. Our approach to IoT, therefore, naturally requires more caution and nuance than most. Those of us in the industry know that information is not only power, but that it can also be detrimental to physical security when it falls into the wrong hands.

The physical industry must exercise caution in developing products for IoT and capabilities. More data sharing inevitably means that a security breach

Though many questions remain, it is clear that the Internet of Things is already developing and growing in the broader technology market, as customers purchase more and more connected products and are predicted to buy even more in the coming years November 2015

The integrity of the security we provide as an industry should not be compromised for IoT. Businesses, governments and people rely on us to protect what is important and we must continue to maintain the high standards that currently exist in our industry today on one device or system could result in vast amounts of data from many systems and devices being compromised.

In fact, HP recently reported that up to 70 percent of commonly used IoT devices are vulnerable to cyber attacks.

Another point for the industry to consider is the likelihood of new laws being developed to protect the end user’s privacy, specifications to which the industry must adhere.

The integrity of the security we provide as an industry should not be compromised for IoT. Businesses, governments and people rely on us to protect what is important and we must continue to maintain the high standards that currently exist in our industry today. That is not to say that the physical security industry should ignore IoT, but rather should be thoughtful and deliberate in its approach to IoT, as we develop new products, software and systems.

It is of particular interest that many within our industry and in the technology industry at large contend that standards are and will be the lynch pin to hold together and make IoT a reality. It is predicted that there will be a global IoT standard in place as early as 2016. The world’s largest technology-based professional association, IEEE (the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers), is already at work developing IoT standards for several technology-based industries.

Several alliances have also formed

to work on automation and communication protocols to prepare for an increase in (machine-to-machine) communications and the broader IoT. These alliances, such as Zigbee, the THREADGroup, ZWave and HomeKit, include physical security manufacturers and organizations in their memberships. Some alliances have already developed certification specifications, some of which include video surveillance, intrusion and access control.

Standards will be fundamental to the development of IoT technology in the physical security industry, as many have predicted. ONVIF’s interoperability standards were originally created to take usability to a higher level by allowing end users to pick and choose technology from different brands without sacrificing functionality between these devices.

Similarly, IoT will require manufacturers and developers to work together in

establishing baseline standards and specifications that will further allow physical security systems to not only work with other physical security devices, but also with other kinds of devices beyond the confines of our industry.

Though many questions remain, it is clear that the Internet of Things is already developing and growing in the broader technology market, as customers purchase more and more connected products and are predicted to buy even more in the coming years. Verizon, in its 2015 State of the Market IoT report, predicts that 10 years from now, organizations that use IoT heavily will likely be up to 10 percent more profitable, with data showing 204 percent growth in the number of IoT connections in the manufacturing sector. The Internet of Things cannot be ignored, despite its mix of potential boons and possible weaknesses. It has moved from a conceptual state to a budding reality, with some calling IoT the next phase of the industrial revolution. IoT will become a reality in the physical security industry, of this we can be assured, whether the industry is prepared or not.

Given the inevitability of the Internet of Things in the physical security market, the question to be asked is not if IoT will affect our market, but how best to prepare for and approach IoT. The challenge, of course, will be to provide increased operability and ease of use for end users without losing the integrity of the security that we offer as an industry. We must determine how to best continue our job of protecting valuable assets while providing end users with the functionality, ease of use and interoperability they expect, balancing IoT’s strengths with its weaknesses in our development of products and standards.

Dahua IP Solution Secures Arezzo in Italy

ahua Technology, together with Videotrend, has provided an effective video surveillance monitoring system to secure the city of Arezzo to meet

the city administration’s high security standard requirements.

Arezzo, a city in Italy, is located in Tuscany and is known for its churches, museums, fabulously sloping Piazza Grande, and gold item production.

A highly innovative, reliable IP solution was tailored by Dahua’s specialists to ensure the safety of the city. Dahua’s

network camera features a 2-megapixel progressive scan Exmor CMOS sensor, providing high quality images at 25/30fps@1080p. It supports H.264 & MJPEG dual codec and smart detection, and with 30 meter IR range, the camera performs well in all lighting conditions, day and night.

ITC series cameras with a highly efficient algorithm provide intelligent surveillance for roads, streets, and venues to monitor traffic conditions. With its HD image resolution function and the speed shutter at 1/25~1/100000, these devices can capture ultra-clear images of vehicles and recognize license plates, even when they drive at a very fast speed. These intelligent devices have integrated Optical Character Rec-

ognition (OCR) and can be used for Red Light Enforcement.

Dahua Super NVR 6000DR series NVRs with up to 128 channel capacity and front LCD display were used.

This model has redundant power supply modules and also supports multi-brand network cameras, including Dahua, Arecont Vision, AXIS, Bosch, Brickcom, Canon, CP Plus, Dynacolor, Honeywell, Panasonic etc. With its support for RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60, data protection can reach maximum safety and reliability.

“Dahua offers intelligent security solutions that enable a smarter, safer Arezzo,” said Elmer Zhang, Sales Director of Europe at Dahua Technology, “The excellent qualities of the images obtained even in extreme light conditions enable uninterrupted monitoring of areas at risk, and therefore, Dahua has realized its goal of protection for local residents and tourists in Arezzo.”

Utah Transit Saves Time and Money with IP Video

M

ilestone Systems open platform networked video management software (VMS) is the leading-edge technology helping the Utah Transit Au-

thority (UTA) to improve security dramatically, ensuring passengers a safer experience.

UTA employs 2,200 staff and moves November 2015

consisting of fixed route buses, commuter rail trains, light rail trains, paratransit buses and vanpool services (rideshare).

Previously, UTA’s video security system was limited by the capacities of its servers. In 2013, it reached the maximum of 500 cameras operating on three servers, which made it impossible to expand the system. UTA was building a new line out to the airport, and was eager to improve the surveillance to a much larger video system that would also be more efficient.

UTA enlisted Stone Security who helped determine that Milestone XProtect video management software best suited their needs. In 2010, Stone was named the Milestone Systems Installation Partner of the Year. In 2013, they were named Regional Partner of the Year and became the world’s first Milestone Diamond Reseller. As a Utah-based company, Stone also had the advantage of being familiar with UTA’s structure and requirements.

As of early 2015 UTA has deployed over 1,000 cameras from a mix of vendors: Axis, Panasonic, IQEye and Digital Watchdog. The system runs on nine HP servers provided by BCDVideo.

With all of this in place, UTA can expand to 2,000 cameras or more. The security cameras are accessible by dispatch, commuter and rail control centers and other authorized users.

As an organization committed to providing passengers with an optimal riding experience, switching to the Milestone system allowed UTA to put more cameras on platforms while centralizing the control system. Milestone reduces the time spent by UTA employees attending to security issues without burdening riders. In addition, the significant improvement in video quality makes it easier to monitor and investigate incidents.

Milestone software optimizes security operations for better passenger safety

Open platform and flexible storage give more options

B

rent Edmunds, co-founder and president of Stone Security says, “Milestone marries two critical components for them: a centralized system and a lot of diversity in its deployment. The system supports many different kinds of cameras. We knew that UTA envisioned operating a robust security system that was both easy to operate and flexible.”

The Milestone open platform allows a ‘best of breed’ software integration model that ensures UTA’s system isn’t tied down to any one technology. It accommodates future growth and expansion. The flexible storage options also let UTA change its hardware options at any time.

Saving money and lives

T

he new technology has had an immediate positive financial impact for UTA. For example, gate arms frequently get damaged or broken off by vehicles. Prior to Milestone, these incidents would not only be costly but would often go unresolved.

“We were looking at two or three damaged gate arms a week,” says A. Lamount Worthy, Video Security Ad-

November 2015

69

ministrator, Utah Transit Authority, “It’s usually around a thousand dollars per gate to repair. The new camera deployments give us the means to recover those costs. Utah police can follow up and interview persons of interest, and attorneys can choose which of these cases to pursue. I would say that this year alone Milestone has already saved us tens of thousands of dollars.”

Other savings are more difficult to quantify, but no less important. Worthy says the Milestone system is one of the key components in resolving several serious crimes in police investigations.

A more secure transit system and usable evidence

orthy knows that passengers put a premium on safe public transit.

If something does happen, UTA has the means to officially capture the incident, and not just have to rely on someone’s iPhone. One of the most important features of the Milestone system is Evidence Lock, a function that secures select video recordings for investigations with authenticated time stamps.

“The encryption and protection Milestone places on its exported video is a key factor of its ability to be present-

from each metro station as well as centrally from 3 control rooms. The system is smartly designed to provide fully flexible failover management for all cameras. The system has been implemented by USKOM, Infinova’s certified integrator in Turkey.

The system has been deployed in the undermentioned stations: Yenikapı; Vezneciler; Halic; Sishane; Taksim; Osmanbey; Sisli; Gayrettepe; Levent; Seyrantepe; Sanayi;

Infinova was able to propose a much simplified network design as their Video Management Software V2217 supports using 3 different sub-networks (input sub-network, output sub-network and storage sub-network). V2217 VMS’s fully distributed architecture was useful in installing servers independent of each other and still providing access to all servers from required client computers. V2217 VMS is designed to clearly separate out administration features and November 2015

70

operation features. With 20 servers and 40+ clients, this design was very useful in streamlining the access permissions and ensuring highest security.

V2217 VMS supports 48 different languages, which includes the local Turkish language. Using this language in all the client machines helped the operators understand the software quickly and use it without requiring any assistance.

Infinova V2217 VMS provides quick, easy configurations, layouts and simple GUI to change the display layouts as per operator requirement as well as supports multiple monitors and video walls. The control centers required display of all cameras – some with fixed display layout and some with carousel layout.

Infinova V2217 VMS was also designed to provide Advanced Map features which are useful to locate the cameras on the map and view the required videos quickly. Map presets, multi-level maps, client specific maps configuration with export to server and import from server were useful in quick configuration of the solution.

Optimized processing in Infinova V2217 VMS was useful in minimizing the resource utilization (processor, memory and bandwidth), and without requiring any special hardware.

Five-Star Security for a Five-Star Hotel

I

n a move to increase safety of guests and employees alike, the Sheraton Warsaw Hotel has replaced an existing third-party fire alarm system by a Bosch fire safety solution. In addition, Bosch's local partner ASD installed a voice evacuation system, which is tightly interfaced with the new fire panels.

The five-star Sheraton Warsaw is one of the most prestigious hotels in Poland's capital. Located at Three Crosses Square, just a few steps from Lazienki Royal Park, historic Nowy Swiat Street and the Parliament, it offers more than 350 elegant guest rooms and suites, 18 meeting rooms for up to 650 people, an exclusive lounge and a collection of classy restaurants. Further, it has served as the temporary home of several foreign embassies.

After many years of operation, the hotel’s Technical Director and Security Manager decided to exchange the existing fire protection system and to install an innovative and modular solution covering both superior fire detection and intelligent voice evacuation. The design office Instel MM, which closely cooperated with the installer ASD in this project, designed a solution with two networked Bosch Modular Fire

Panels Series 5000, which are operated via Remote Keypads Series 5000. More than 1,600 automatic optical and thermal fire detectors and almost 200 manual call points were installed in guest and meeting rooms, offices and public areas throughout the hotel. The Bosch Building Integration System (BIS) acts as a fire visualization system and enables seamless integration and central operations of the fire panels and the voice evacuation system.

To ensure fast and safe evacuation in case of an alarm, the system integrator

ASD installed the digital PRAESIDEO public address and voice evacuation system with 29 amplifiers. It supports more than 1,500 loudspeakers and enables distribution of highly intelligible and targeted evacuation instructions to different parts of the building.

Based on the BIS and an open and modular system architecture, Sheraton Warsaw now has an interfaced safety solution, allowing very cost-efficient operations with possibilities to expand and to adapt should requirements change in the future.

Arecont Vision® Panoramic Megapixel Cameras Help Maintain a Safe Campus at Butler University

hicle at 40 mph (64 kph).

“At almost every major event, from political conventions to G-20 and NATO meetings, Delta’s portable MP5000 barriers are protecting participants from harm,” emphasizes Greg Hamm, Delta Scientific Vice President of Sales and Marketing, “During the Papal visit engagements, which were witnessed by millions, not one vehicle got into position to cause harm.”

Over 1,000 MP5000 mobile deployable vehicle crash barriers are being

utilized throughout the world. The high security portable barricade system is easily towed into place by a light threequarter-ton pickup truck. Many of the MP5000s are being used in the Middle East to protect US troops from truck bomb attack.

Both the operation of the barrier as well as deployment and retrieval are push-button controlled. A standard system includes a battery-operated power unit, replenished from either a solar array or local low voltage source. Option-

ally, a Delta Hydraulic Power Unit operated on a locally supplied power or full manual system, or combination, is available. Both the locally powered and battery powered hydraulic pumping units can be sized to provide pass-through rates suitable for most inspection and identification station requirements.

Operating modes include full automatic, remote-hard line, remote-radio, card reader, key switch, local guard push button controls or via master and slave control panel.

Motorola Solutions Provides Secure and Efficient Communications for Milan Airports SEA Group selects Motorola Solutions’ TETRA digital radio system for Linate and Malpensa airports

A

irport operator SEA Group (Società Esercizi Aeroportuali S.p.A.) has selected Motorola Solutions to improve operations and ensure the highest levels of security, efficiency and effectiveness at Milan’s Linate and Malpensa airports. Deploying a TETRA Dimetra IP Compact radio communications system to connect both of Milan’s airports, SEA is able to provide enhanced customer services with rapid flight turnaround and more efficient terminal operations.

“With 1,200 operating radios and an increase in operations, SEA needed a more dynamic solution for communications,” says Fabio Degli Esposti, Information & Communication Technology Director, SEA, “Faced with the need to replace an outdated system and the need to cope with an increasing demand of services, the only choice for us was to

switch to digital technology, which is able to guarantee a safe and effective service.”

In Malpensa – where the old and the new systems had to coexist in the migration phase – everything was fully operational within just two weeks, including the configuration of 1,000 new radios.

At Linate airport, the system, supporting 400 new radios, was set up in just a week.

“SEA could not afford any inefficiency,” says Giuliano Posenato, customer service manager, Motorola Solutions Italy, “The implementation had to be very fast, because the requirement was to change the engine on the machine while it was still running.”

Arlanda Express Keeps Track With Ethiris VMS and WideQuick PSIM E

thiris Video Management Software is Kentima’s component-based and scalable software for video surveillance.

All video surveillance at A-Train, who runs the so called Arlandabanan (Arlanda Tracks) and speed-train traffic, is handled by Ethiris VMS together with close to 100 cameras, located around the facilities.

As Arlanda Express and Arlandabanan (the railway between Stockholm and Arlanda Airport) were inaugurated in November 1999, a major step forward was taken in flight and transportation in Sweden. It became possible in 20 minutes only (one way) to travel from Stockholm to Arlanda Airport, in a comfortable and environmentally friendly manner.

“To us, a whole new chapter has be-

gun where Ethiris has given us a new approach on video surveillance,” says Jimmy Ahl, Security Manager at A-Train.

A-Train was looking for a solution that would satisfy their surveillance needs for their platforms at Arlanda Airport, at Arlanda Express’ part of Stockholm Central Station and the train depot.

Today, close to 100 cameras are mounted and surveille both the platforms and the train depot. A-Train consists of two parts: one, is the so called Arlandabanan – the train tracks between Stockholm C and Arlanda Airport. The second part is the traffic of Arlanda Express between Stockholm and Arlanda. The hub of the business is the operation management where one part surveilles the Arlanda Express traffic and one part surveilles all technical systems and facilities. From

IN BRIEF

Ethiris has many strengths compared to other video surveillance systems. Thanks to the extensive support for OPC, Ethiris can for example be integrerated with A-Train´s own SCADA system.

At the Arlanda Express route, run

by A-Train, 10 000 persons travel on a daily basis and their journey is secured by surveillance from Ethiris.

here all operational handling of access control and video surveillance is being executed.

Ethiris can easily be integrated with other systems and this prevents the customer from locking themself into a corner. Ethiris is therefore the obvious choice for A-Train, who via Kentima’s partner Larsec, had the software commissioned. Ethiris’ structure is such that the system can be installed in several differently located facilities. Each client can connect to an unlimited number of servers and in this way, one can surveille all parts from a central location. In the center for operation management, ATrain’s operators handle all live surveillance via eight 42” monitors, mounted on the wall in front of them. How the traffic is running and control over cam-

era system and property system, are being supervised on the monitors. The operators use a custom-made interface in Kentima’s software WideQuick PSIM to choose layout and how to display the camera images on the monitors. Besides choosing desired camera images, each of the three operators can, via a joystick, control PTZ cameras and in detail re-

view different objects.

“Several issues that we previously experienced as problems, have been solved by using Ethiris,” says Jimmy Ahl. One advantage in Ethiris is that the system can expand whenever the need of the facility increases. To fulfil the requirements of A-Train, script is used

and it can easily be added to with new commands and be seamlessly expanded.

Within the near future, A-Train hopes to have all permits approved to be able to expand their facilities and use additionally 180 (approx.) cameras. The primary goal for A-Train is passenger safety and that matches well with Ethiris’ reliablity, flexibility and high quality.

Xtralis VESDA-E Protects the Largest Shopping Complex in Southern Hemisphere T

he Chadstone shopping complex is the largest shopping centre in the southern hemisphere, located in Melbourne, Australia. With over 20 million

visitors annually, the high-end outlet is a retail home for world-class brands like Louis Vuitton, Gucci, Burberry, and Tiffany & Co. Chadstone has recently undergone a $600+ million expansion,

which will include over 40 new retailers, a 10-storey office building and a hotel.

Part of the expansion includes a complete redevelopment of the northern part of the complex which includes a four-level glass-roofed atrium.

The high ceiling of the northern expansion, as well as the unusual curvature of the glass atrium presented a fire detection challenge. Mounting locations for fire detectors were also limited and pre-determined to comply with management standards.

VESDA-E VEU was the obvious solution due to its very early and reliable detection and extended pipe lengths to accommodate for the height of the ceiling. VEU is flexible enough to accom-

modate the longer pipe runs and provide detection from the pre-determined mounting locations. The extended pipe networks reduced the total number of detectors required, and VEU’s centralized detector architecture provides quick and efficient service and maintenance with no special tools required.

Only four VESDA-E VEU detectors are required to protect the entire northern expansion atrium of Chadstone.

The VEU at Chadstone is also an aesthetically pleasing solution, providing the best available fire protection without distracting from the unusual and beautiful curvature of the glass atrium.

The VEU detectors can be monitored and managed remotely with mobile devices and an iVESDA application, giving facilities management constant access to each detector. With VESDA-E VEU, Chadstone selected the very best protection for its facility, clients, and customers.

about business.

Bringing together more than 1,000 employees in an eight-story building necessitated rigorous planning with regard to logistics and physical security. Access to the building had to be controlled, with different levels of access assigned to various employees. For economic and security reasons, management concluded that door locks with keys would be the best solution for managing access.

However, manual management of the keys quickly became a problem; keys were often misplaced, lost or taken without authorization.

According to Volodymir Tarasyk, Chief Security Officer for 1+1 Media Group, numerous procedures for controlling the keys were tried without success.

He says, “There were simply too many people who needed access to keys for a manual system to be effective. We needed somehow to minimize the human factor.”

They found a solution with the Morse Watchmans KeyWatcher® Touch key control and management system. With the automated system, all keys are secured in a tamper-proof cabinet when not in use and, when needed, can only be accessed by authorized personnel using their access control proximity ID badge to open

the cabinet and remove or return a key. Users can only take a key they have been pre-authorized to access and all others keys remain securely locked in the cabinet.

All activity is automatically recorded so Tarasyk’s department has an accurate record of who accessed keys and when.

The system’s automatic e-mail notification sends an alert when a key has not been returned as scheduled; there is also a daily PDF usage report. The managing software package runs all programming, remote functions and reports while the server performs all synchronizations of transactions as well as maintaining the SQL database.

“The Morse Watchmans KeyWatcher Touch system is integrated with our existing access control system and this has greatly enhanced the level of security in our building,” says Tarasyk, “Manual control procedures have been eliminated and we know who has used or is using each and every key.”

Even though the new offices of 1+1 Media Group are equipped with stateof-the-art media technology, it was a calculated risk on Tarasyk’s part to approve deployment of the system. He

says, “Ours was the first ever installation of KeyWatcher Touch in Ukraine but I was confident in the quality of the product and with the after-sales support that was promised from SPV Company, the authorized representatives of Morse Watchmans in Ukraine.”

In addition to the economic savings realized by using mechanical locks and keys on doors throughout the building, 1+1 Media Group was also able to realize a savings in security personnel.

Tarasyk states that by using the automated KeyWatcher Touch system they were able to reduce the number of security posts by two, further enhancing ROI (Return on Investment).

The system installed at 1+1 Media Group consists of two 9-module cabinets, each holding up to 144 keys and configured with proximity card readers.

as G Mark Award, from the Japanese Institute of Design Promotion is a mark of excellence and gives recognition to innovative product design. It dates back to 1957 as the sole comprehensive design evaluation and commendation system in Japan.

The AXIS Q61-E Series features a unique design concept which resulted from listening to customers and partners. To better blend in with their environment when mounted, the cameras are easily repaintable and 45% smaller than previous generations. Their unique dome geometry enables operators to identify

objects above the camera horizon and the Speed Dry function causes the cameras to vibrate thereby effectively shaking off water drops in rainy weather.

“With the AXIS Q61-E Series we have broken with conventional designs

and introduced an entirely new dome geometry offering effective video surveillance of objects located above the camera horizon,” says Erik Frännlid, Director of Product Management, Axis Communications, “We also took a look at nature and a dog shaking off water inspired our Speed Dry function that quickly removes water drops from the dome glass.

This prestigious design award win underlines our commitment to continuously innovate as we strive to provide our customers with smarter solutions.”

The AXIS Q61E Series features 30x optical zoom with up to HDTV 1080p resolution, Lightfinder technology and Wide Dynamic Range to handle difficult lighting conditions and electronic image stabilization for smoother video in windy conditions.

A slanted camera design deflects water drops and a non-stick heated silicone

ring prevents ice formation to ensure reliable operation in all weather conditions. The AXIS Q61-E Series cameras withstand extreme climate changes thanks to Arctic Temperature Control that allows the cameras to function at -50° C (-58° F). In addition, the cameras support automatic defog, which, when activated, automatically detects fog in the scene and digitally filters it out of view to provide clearer video.

The AXIS Q61-E Series was also awarded with the SSA Award 2015 in the category CCTV at the Safety and Security Show recently in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, due to its innovative way to manage different lighting conditions as well as challenging weather conditions.

Release Candidate for Profile A O

Enabling Advanced Access Control Configuration

NVIF has announced the Release Candidate for Profile A, a draft specification that establishes an interface for access control clients and expands the configuration options for ONVIF conformant access control systems.

Profile A encompasses the tasks of common, day to day access control functions for users such as security officers, receptionists or human resource professionals who grant and revoke employee credentials, create and update schedules and make changes to access control privileges within the system. Available for review on the ONVIF website, Profile A enables the configuration of these functions at the access control client level.

“Profile A is the next step in ONVIF’s commitment to enabling interoperability within the access control

market by increasing functionality and system management functions at the client level,” said Suresh Raman of Siemens Technology and Services Private Limited and chair of ONVIF’s Profile A Working Group, “This new access control configuration profile complements the existing ONVIF Profile C to move beyond basic event management and door access control and further enables integration between access control and IP video management systems when combined with ONVIF’s Profile C and Profile S.” ONVIF circulates a new profile first as a ‘Release Candidate’ for six months, allowing members and stakeholders a final implementation review. When that process is complete, the final profile is published and technology providers will

be able to test their products for conformance to the final version of Profile A. This process is intended to allow members to more quickly introduce conformant products when the final version of Profile A is released in early 2016.

Founded in 2008, ONVIF now consists of more than 500 member companies in six continents and more than 5,000 Profile conformant products. With the Profile A Release Candidate, Profile S for streaming video, Profile G for recording and storage, Profile C for physical access control and the Release Candidate for Profile Q for easy installation and advanced security features, ONVIF continues to work with its members to expand the number of IP interoperability solutions that ONVIF conformant products can provide.

Middle East to Focus on Emergency Response Services as Region Prepares for Rise in Natural Disasters Natural disasters affected more than 40 million people in MENA region in past 30 years, costing USD 20 billion: World Bank

G

overnments in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region are ramping up efforts to enhance emergency response and disaster prevention services, as the rise in natural disasters in the region outpaces the global average and more sophisticated solutions become available on the market.

In the past three decades, natural disasters have affected more than 40 million people in the region and have cost their economies about USD 20 billion, according to a World Bank report.

While the absolute number of disasters around the world has almost doubled since the 1980s, the average number of

natural disasters in MENA has almost tripled, the report found.

Globally, the emergency response market will climb from USD 50.4 billion in 2012 to USD 131.6 billion by 2019, as interoperable communications systems that can provide real-time situational awareness to first-time responders are developed to help counter the increasing rise in incidents, according to research by Frost & Sullivan.

Next year’s International Exhibition for National Security & Resilience (ISNR Abu Dhabi) in Abu Dhabi will feature the Emergency Response and Disaster Prevention (EMDI) exhibition, November 2015

New Thermal Radiometry Helps Prevent Fire First MOBOTIX thermal cameras to create automatic temperature alarms

M

OBOTIX has launched a new series of thermal camera products, equipped with a new type of thermal sensing technology to realize automatic

thermal spot metering in the image center.

events, based on absolute temperature within -40°C to +550°C. This new technology is perfect to generate automatic alarms, defined by temperatures limits or temperature ranges, which is vital to detect potential fire or heat sources. At the same time, MOBOTIX provides a software update free of charge to upgrade existing thermal cameras with

sensitivity of 0.05°C (NETD=50mK), different temperature conditions can be easily defined within the new TR (Thermal Radiometry) window or over the whole sensor image with a typical accuracy of ±10°C. Up to 20 multiple temperature events can be defined at the same time. Spot metering, which measures temperature related to 4 pixels at

the image center, is also improved in the new thermal TR products with a typical accuracy of ±10°C. These new releases will help to prevent bigger damages in industrial and commercial premises, at manufacturing and logistic sites, recycling facilities, forests, etc.

MOBOTIX Thermal Radiometry (TR) is available in its popular M15, and as a sensor module in the S15 dual camera system. Furthermore, TR is also available as S15 PT-mount sensor head. Both S15 thermal modules can be set up as dual thermal system for most flexible usage or as the perfect combination of thermal and optical sensor technology to ensure the most reliable detection results and visual verification at the same time.

Apple Pay to Push Biometric Transactions to Nearly 5bn by 2019 Further growth fuelled by biometric scanner availability in mid-range devices

A

new study from Juniper Research has found that the increased rollout of contactless payment services using fingerprint scanners will push the number of biometrically authenticated transactions to nearly 5bn by 2019, up from less than 130 million this year.

The research observed that at present, only 2 services – Apple Pay and Samsung – used fingerprint scanners for authentication, with availability currently limited to the US and UK for the former, and the US and South Korea for the latter. However, it argued that with both services expected to be launched in multiple additional markets during 2016, the convenience of the scanner is likely to make it a primary mechanism for transaction authentication.

The new research report – Mobile

Identity, Authentication & Tokenisation 2015-2020, argued that incorporation into additional mobile wallets would be spurred by a greater availability of fingerprint scanners in midrange smartphones. This, together with a growing take-up of contactless infrastructure at POS (Point of Sale), is likely to drive further adoption in the medium term.

Exposing Biometric Data ‘Irretrievably Compromises’ Online Identity

H

owever, the research cautioned that the security of biometric data was paramount, citing the case of the HTC One Max, where fingerprint data was mistakenly stored on the device in plaintext and in a world-readable locaNovember 2015

tion. While that mistake was rectified, research author Dr Windsor Holden warned that the implications to ensure secure storage could be devastating, “When a password or PIN is hacked, the consumer can simply get a replacement.

When biometric data – fingerprint, iris, facial – is stolen, the consumer’s online identity could be irretrievably compromised.”

Additionally, the research pointed out that the greater prevalence of cybercrime – more than 1 billion online records were exposed by data breaches in 2014 – meant that tokenisation was becoming an increasingly attractive proposition for acquirers and processors. It argued that the tokenisation process – wherein data with no intrinsic value replaces high value cardholder data – would significantly reduce exposure to

fraud. Furthermore, with hackers merely obtaining tokens which are meaningless in isolation, the scale of attacks on sites might also decline.

range. 30 frames per second and 8 megapixels per image ensure that users can see every detail.

Hence end-users can identify the driver and license plate of the vehicle that damaged another car in the parking lot or when returning goods they can prove to the sender that the scratches did not happen on their premises.

But high resolutions also need to be manageable. The back-focus feature makes camera installation that much easier. The camera focuses automatically with the click of a mouse. Depending on needs and weather conditions, this function can be repeated as often as necessary, and it can also be triggered manually.

Because high-resolution images are extremely sensitive, and outside influences such as temperature fluctuations can affect the focus, in some cases causing the images to be blurred. The back-focus feature solves this problem automatically.

With Geutebruck’s 4K Ultra HD IP cameras users can see every detail. From now on there are new types available: a box camera for interior applications and a fixed dome as well as a bullet camera for outdoor use. With the bullet camera and fixed dome, including IR LED lighting, outdoor areas can be secured even at night, without an additional external source of light.
