From the Editor-in-Chief

Volume XII • Issue 2 • October 2015 (110 pages including 6 for cover) Editor-in-Chief Lt Col Pritam Singh Mehta (Retd.) Associate Editor Santosh Pathak

Dear Readers, Greetings from IndiaSAFE! In a significant development with far reaching implications for the security industry, IIT Bombay recently launched a National Center of Excellence in Technology for Internal Security (NCETIS) with a focus to develop modern technology and leverage the existing expertise available. The IIT-B Center will cater to the technology requirements of state police, central paramilitary and other internal security agencies. NCETIS is a joint venture of IIT Bombay and Department of Electronics and Information Technology (DeitY) which aims to develop indigenous technology and self-sufficiency in Electronic System Design Manufacturing in the strategic sector of internal security. It will mainly address the technology innovation gaps and the requirements of security agencies, and has been set up under the Central Government’s flagship Digital India initiative with an initial budget allocation of INR 83 crore for the first five years. The centre aims to develop prototypes and provide solutions to the problems of security users, and will also try to identify industry partners for the possible commercialization of the developed technology. The center will also actively engage with the manufacturing industry for commercialization and technology licensing. Focus areas are as diverse as biometric applications, chemical and biological warfare, communication systems (wireless), cyber and data security, Ground Penetrative Radar (GPR) for landmine detection, product interaction design and prototyping sensors and detectors for explosives, thermal imaging, unmanned vehicles, video surveillance etc. Coming close on the heels of the announcement of the amendment to the Preferential Market Access Policy last month, the setting up of the NCETIS adds immensely to the ‘Make in India’ campaign and will boost local production, albeit the initial pickup might be slow. Till next month, stay safe and happy reading! With warm regards,

Lt Col Pritam Mehta (Retd) Mob: +91 9811413696

Marvel Glass for Ahmedabad Gym Project: Balaji Windpark at Vaishavdevi Circle, Ahmedabad Form: Glass enlarged shell enclosure gymnasium

Introduction

or the first time, curved and flat laminated glass has been suspended from mild steel ribs as a complete enclosure to create a shell like form architecture for a transparent gymnasium, sur-

rounded by 300 luxury apartments. An added safety laminated glass floor has been provided to rest gym equipment, and as an actual glass floor inside the gym. The entire form is supported on a column within which a cyclic staircase October 2015

the glass specifications, fixing details and glass divisions, ensuring adequate structural strength with respect to live load and wind load, heat protection through diffused sunlight from the roof, glass alignment not allowing any water leakage, air vent cut-outs for hot air release, adequate air circulation inside the enclosure and structurally sound glass floor to absorb dead load and jumping load. Every aspect which includes on-desk designing, metal support detailing, steel templates for glass form and dimensioning, glass processing, glass installation, sealant application and overall aesthetics were the vendor’s responsibility.

Challenge

any of the glass sheets are not only curved in different radius on individual axis but are also twisted in plane, while aligning with the adjacent glass which is curved in different radii, but still aligned in accuracy of millimetres, to ensure butt joints which are leakage proof. Also, the curved safety glass sheets are made in the factory and fitted individually at the site, where, in some

sheets the glass is supported on only 2 edges out of 4, although each panel weighs as much as 300kgs. For each glass panel a steel template is made cross braced to prevent distortion of template before it reaches the glass factory. Extremely efficient and skilled labour is involved to install the heavy glass, supported only on 2 edges, and not allowing any damage while handling even though there is hardly any platform for them to stand. As the glass sheets turn and enclose the form below

the floor slab, the task of glass installation becomes even more difficult because at some places, there is hardly 6” gap between the glass panel and the slab, and space is not enough even for the human hand.

Soon, DRDO’s Technology will be Accessed by Private Players G

overnment of India is getting ready to share all the technology which is available with the Defence and Research Development Organisation (DRDO). Speaking on Defence Research and Development at the two day Deftronics organized by India Electronics and Semiconductors Association (IESA), the Research and Development head of the DRDO, Dr S Radhakrishnan announced this. He said, “Government is to soon announce a policy that whatever technology is available with DRDO can be had at a fixed cost.” This will be a revolutionary step for India in the context that many technologies will be picked up by the industry. Speaking on the occasion, Dr. Ajit T Kalghatgi, Director R&D of Bharat Electronics Limited put it categorically that only the right kind of manpower can bring the right results. He said, “The massive demand in the Defence industry can only see the light of the day with the right kind of manpower.” No original equipment manufacturer would part with high-end technology, he added.

Dr S. Radhakrishnan, Director DIITM DRDO, R&D stated that the Defence Acquisition Council has cleared orders to the tune of approximately Rs 2 lakh crore which are all based on the DRDO technology. Giving the industry perspective, Rahul Chaudhary, CEO TATA POWERSED was candid in saying, “We have a huge capability. If we have to emerge as the largest economy, our aspiration to become a permanent member of the Security Council will not change unless and until we have our own Defence capability and R&D.” “For the aspiration of reaching 70 percent manufacturing within the country from the 30 percent of today we need to have started much earlier,” said Kalghatgi, “If we expect R&D to work today, we should have started much before. Which means we should plan now to get what we wish to achieve in the next decade and for this the capacity has to happen beyond the traditional players – involve the private payers in a big way,” he further added. India is passing through an imporOctober 2015

tant phase. It is in the process to forge ties and is on the way to becoming an important player in the international system. India Electronics and Semiconductor Association (IESA) is the premier trade body committed to the development of a vibrant Indian Electronics System Design and Manufacturing (ESDM) ecosystem. It has over 260 members; both domestic and multinational enterprises. IESA has been actively involved in evangelizing the dream of establishing ‘Brand India’ that is recognized worldwide as a goto destination for electronic products. Their vision is to bring the Indian industry, government and academia on a common platform and jointly work towards developing and promoting make-in-India products for global markets. This is through publishing credible data, networking events, and alliances with other international associations. IESA works closely with the government as a knowledge partner on the sector, both at the center and at the state level.

lame detector manufacturer FFE has unveiled an ambitious new partner programme for its Talentum range of optical flame detectors. The Talentum Partner Programme offers unrivalled support by helping partners expand their customer base, become more competitive, reduce costs, increase profits and increase their industry profile. FFE is now seeking suitable partners from India to join the programme. “The Programme is a vehicle for us to engage with our distribution channel and build a relationship with key partners which will bring the unique Talentum flame detection technology to our chosen markets,” comments FFE’s Managing Director Mark Osborne. “We carefully select our partners to make sure they are right for us. They need to demonstrate that they are close to their local markets and that they have a track record of offering outstanding

service to their customers. In return, we offer dedicated account management and up-to-the-minute training and certification, ensuring partners’ sales and technical teams are up to date with the latest Talentum technology,” he adds. Benefits of the Talentum Partner Programme include: ● Online partner portal. ● Lead generation and referrals. ● Training and education. ● Technical support. ● Marketing and sales material. ● Certifications. ● Regular newsletter updates. Osborne continued, “We’ve always been completely focused on our customers – they are the life-blood of our organisation – so it’s crucial for us to continue making significant investments in our channels. We’re very excited about this new programme which we know will generate tremendous success for

our growing list of partners.” FFE acquired Talentum in 2013, adding its highly respected range of optical flame detectors to FFE’s established product offering of Fireray infrared beam smoke detectors, so providing a unique value proposition to the fire protection industry. By utilising infrared (IR) sensing technology, Talentum products detect flames within seconds, irrespective of any dust, steam or smoke present. With the addition of an ultraviolet (UV) sensor the detector also becomes immune to false signals such as sunlight. They are often used in sensitive or dangerous environments to detect fires even before there is any smoke produced, or where smokeless fires may occur. Applications are wide-ranging and include warehouses, petrochemical plants, waste handling facilities and aircraft hangers.

the 35-minute projection mapping show, which opened in August and plays nightly at 7:00 p.m. and 7:45 p.m. The show was conceptualized and is presented by Christie India’s partner Tricolor India Schauspiel at this prestigious white peace pagoda also known as Dhauli Shanti Stupa, built in the 1970s. The performance recounts the Kalinga War, a bitter battle fought between King Ashoka and the then ruler of Kalinga on the banks of the Daya River in Dhauli circa 261 B.C. Although King Ashoka won the war, his victory was almost like a defeat considering the large number of lives lost. This revelation inspired him to shun violence and convert to Buddhism to spread the message of peace. Bright and beautiful visuals recounting the great battle – and consequent transformation of King Ashoka into a peace-loving ruler who served his subjects well – are shown using four Christie Roadster S+22K-J 3DLP®

projectors. Installed in custombuilt towers in front of the monument, the projectors are stacked on top of each other and project onto a surface area measuring about 700 square meters. This is the first permanent projection mapping installation using Christie projectors in the state of Odisha. Himanshu Sabharwal, creative director of Tricolor India Schauspiel, commented, “We have chosen to deploy the Roadster S+22K-Js because of their unmatched brightness and robustness for an outdoor install like this. I’m proud of the installation and the results because our artistic experiment of live painting came out really well and we have been able to effectively engage the audience with the mesmerizing story of King Ashoka. The show is very much appreciated by our client – the Chief Minister of the state of Odisha – as well as the general public who have been visiting the monument for daily shows.” According to October 2015

Sabharwal, the biggest challenge during the installation was positioning the projectors. Faced with limited space in front of the Dhauli Peace Pagoda, the Tricolor India team constructed customized towers equipped with hydraulic pan-and-tilt capabilities so that the projectors that are installed inside can be positioned and calibrated accurately. “We congratulate our partner Tricolor India Schauspiel for completing yet another outstanding installation with a stunning delivery of this highly-anticipated projection mapping show at the Dhauli Peace Pagoda in Bhubaneswar,” said Lin Yu, Vice President, Christie Asia Pacific, “I applaud Himanshu and his team for their creativity and innovation in utilizing a live painting concept to tell the inspiring story of King Ashoka. We’re also delighted that the Christie Roadster J Series projectors installed have provided the best visual experience for the audience.”

Distance: The Other Variable Impact of target distance on camera surveillance functionality Gaining the Most High-Quality Video for Remote Sites, Perimeters and Outdoor Environments

Introduction

oom cameras allow security users to view targets up close from hundreds of feet away. Megapixel cameras can cover larger areas with fewer cameras. However, with technology advancing, are there more current and/ or effective solutions that can help a facility get the most detailed and clear video of outdoor or perimeter locations for security or operations monitoring? This white paper will look specifically at how the distance of a target from a surveillance camera can impact camera functionality related to available light collection. We will discuss solutions to this problem including the idea of locating the camera closer to the target to improve low light performance First, we will look at the historic challenges of where surveillance cameras are placed and how infrastructure requirements drive camera locations. Then we will examine how to measure and assess the impact of those challenges. Considering how technology has improved and enabled better collection of high-quality video, we will focus on quantifying the improvement and assessing the drawbacks of advanced technologies. Finally, we will look at what the findings suggest about establishing parameters to continuously improve light sensitivity in outdoor and perimeter security applications. These steps – define, measure, assess, improve and con-

trol (DMAIC) – reflect the data-driven improvement cycle commonly used in Six Sigma programs. These parameters provide an ideal framework to assess the distance to target and light sensitivity in surveillance applications, allowing the accurate measurement of their impact.

igher costs are a reflection of the challenges of perimeter or remote site video surveillance. Compared to the rest of an enterprise surveillance

or network. Because of these challenges, cameras are often located far away from the points an organization is actually trying to monitor and protect, or remain non-existent. This approach leads to challenges with video quality and low light performance, and often, means less than optimal coverage for outdoor, perimeter and isolated environments, or the absence of cameras altogether. Surveillance professionals use a variety of methods, including terms such as ‘pixels-per-foot’ (PPF) to help evaluate the utility of video equipment to per-

system, the part of the system covering the outside perimeter or a remote site is the most expensive on a cost-per-camera basis. Factors that impact costs are the greater distance away that cameras must be located, the greater amount of materials (cables, infrastructure etc.) needed, and the costs of disrupting hard-surface materials (such as asphalt or concrete) necessary to trench for cables. Longer cables translate into more materials being used, and trenching through concrete, aggregate or asphalt negatively impacts drainage and erosion. In the case of a remote site, the installation of video surveillance cameras for either security or operations has not been conceivable, due to absence of power and/

form an expected task. For example, a systems integrator will evaluate how many pixels are required to recognize a person or to read a license plate. Considering the number of pixels and the size of an area being covered can help an integrator determine which equipment is needed to provide the resolution for a particular application. This process is effective but can be a challenge when trying to cover large, remote, or outdoor areas. An overlooked aspect when specifying cameras to cover large areas is the distance of the target from the camera. This variable especially relates to light collection – how much light is collected by the image sensor based on the dis-

tance of the target from the camera? The ‘inverse-square’ law explains how light decreases over distance. Specifically, the amount of light that reaches an image sensor is ‘inversely proportional to the square of the distance’ between the light source and the camera. If you double the distance, illumination is reduced by a factor of four.

Measure – How can we measure our success?

ore light is collected if the camera is located close to the target. In

contrast, if the target is far from the camera, fewer photons of light are available for detection. Offsetting the effects of this one simple variable can make the difference between a surveillance system that does the job and one that fails. Technology choices can mitigate the challenges, but at what cost? For example, using a standard resolution surveillance camera, an operator can read a license plate with a 8MM focal length lens from about 30 feet away (based on the guideline of 50 horizontal pixels per foot). An alternative option is to place a megapixel camera at a distance of 90

feet – where data and power sources are readily available. When using a two-megapixel camera at a distance of 90 feet with the same pixels per foot, a 14MM focal length is required. At this focal length and based on typical sensor sizes (e.g., 1/2.7), the light available per pixel at the sensor is reduced by approximately a factor of nine. Traditional cameras try to compensate for the lack of photons by increasing amplification of the signal (introducing noise), extending exposure times (introducing blur) and adding noise reduction filters. While these techniques can improve the visibility of an image they do not fundamentally change the signal to noise ratio (SNR) and the result is a marginal, not a fundamental, improvement. Considering the element of light, the lens diameter has to scale along with the distance ratio in order to increase light collection. At 300 feet, both the area of the lens and each pixel on the image sensor would need to be 100 times larger to capture the same number of photons as a surveillance camera located 30 feet away from the target. These diameters and capabili-

here must be sufficient light to gain quality video and the smaller pixel sizes of megapixel cameras make them less sensitive to light, which further complicates the issue. Using a larger image sensor to provide larger pixel size would require more expensive lenses. The maximum aperture opening (f-stop), lens diameter and focal length are variables that impact the effectiveness of surveillance cameras viewing long distances. All the variables make it critical to test the functionality of any camera system before committing to a large installation and making a significant investment. To summarize, capturing useful video images from far away requires additional investment. The ability to see greater detail using a higher-resolution camera does not address the necessary light requirements. Light levels diminish across long distances, which can make viewing distant locations – such as along a facility’s perimeter or large outdoor areas – from a camera located hundreds of feet away either impractical or expensive. The solution to capture video across long distances is to shorten the distance. Instead of requiring cameras to view long distances, it makes sense to locate the camera closer to the item being viewed. But there are challenges to this approach: Limitations of IP network reach. IP cameras must connect to the network, and the farthest reaches of an

enterprise might be beyond the reach of the network. Locating cameras within reach of the network complicates viewing distant objects. No available power. A distant perimeter, parking lot or other asset might be located far from any available power source. Is trenching practical? Digging trenches for electricity or network connectivity is expensive, and it may not be practical based on the environment. For example, what if an asset to be protected is located on the other side of a lake? What if it’s across a public street? Erecting poles and stringing wires is also a possibility, but the approach could disrupt aesthetics, cause environmental concerns, create easy targets for vandalism or be vulnerable to environmental issues, such as violent winds.

Improve – how can we take advantage of what we assessed incrementally and continuously?

t is possible to overcome the challenges of locating surveillance cameras to view distant assets by using solar power to operate the camera and wireless transmission to move the video signal from the camera to a network video management system. New solarpowered and wireless camera systems can put surveillance cameras close to the subjects they are viewing. This approach overcomes the aforementioned technology challenges and potentially higher expense of generating clear images using cameras to view across long distances – especially the problem of not enough light. Shorter distance means more light reaches the camera, allowing even standard-resolution devices to capture images clearly without specialized

lenses, optics or other additional technology expense. Wireless access to video is changing how security systems operate at the edge of the network. Installing a surveillance camera no longer requires a video cable and a dedicated power source, and there is no need to run wires through trenches. New wireless systems can transmit video through the air from remotely located cameras, up to two miles away, to a centralized video gateway that is connected to the network and tied into a video management system. Today’s wireless design options facilitate wireless connectivity to an enterprise video solution, by way of line of sight, cellular dial up, or satellite transmission. The camera remains close to the object being viewed, which vastly simplifies image capture and retention, and allows it to perform at a potentially much lower cost. Also, solar panels, with integrated five-day lithium-ion battery storage, can provide sustainable power to special low-power surveillance cameras used to view remote locations. Such an approach greatly expands the coverage area of a video system at an affordable price. Inexpensive, remote IP video surveillance is crucial to securing perimeters, remote and large outdoor areas. Self-contained camera systems – those powered by solar energy and using low-power wireless video transmission in the unlicensed radio spectrum – can also easily be moved from one location to another to provide a dynamic and adaptive approach to video surveillance coverage. For example, if there is a particular problem area on a perimeter, the wireless surveillance camera can be moved to provide coverage of that area on a temporary basis, and then moved somewhere else if another need arises. In the case of a special event that reOctober 2015

quires additional security and video coverage, cameras can be added on an ad hoc basis, with no need to run wires or pay other infrastructure costs.

Control – how can we establish parameters to control continuous improvement?

eciding where to locate video surveillance cameras is a basic task of designing an effective surveillance system. A multitude of factors have to be considered, such as backlighting, lowlight levels and sufficient image clarity to read a license number or recognize details of a person’s face. The proliferation in the market of higher-powered zoom lenses and super-high-resolution megapixel cameras suggests a wealth of new possibilities related to placement of cameras. These systems promise to see more with fewer cameras and to enable end users to save money in the process. However, every technology has its limitations, and even the most up-todate camera systems are only as good as the quality of the image that reaches the camera, which is a function of how much light reaches the image sensor. As the distance between the camera and image sensor increases, the amount of light that reaches the sensor goes down exponentially. Even the highest resolution camera with the most advanced low light processing cannot see an image clearly unless there is enough light. Too often, system designers overlook the effect of distance on how much light reaches the camera, or they design expensive systems to overcome the problem. A simpler approach is to put the camera nearer the object being viewed, and new solarpowered, wireless video cameras can do just that. The result can be less expensive systems with superior performance.

Extended Ethernet

Ethernet Transmission over Coaxial or UTP Cable By Iain Deuchars â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Business Development Manager, ComNet

Ethernet over non-standard copper cabling

coupled with the medium type that dictates the product selection.

Maintaining network integrity

s the security and surveillance market continues its shift towards IP based technology, the ability for integrators and installers to utilise different transmission mediums gains significance. Within networking, the structured cabling standards offer twisted pair cabling up to a distance of one hundred meters and then optical fibre for distances up to the limitations of the optical technology. While these rules work well for the standard office location, the CCTV market can find itself in different physical environments and facing different challenges. A large number of IP installations will be migrating away from analogue solutions where coaxial cable was used and in other cases, due to the nature and location of CCTV systems, twisted pair beyond one hundred meters and low grade cable such as telephone CAT3 cable could be the preferred or possibly the only solution available. In an environment such as this you need to have a scope of transmission solutions that covers all the possible copper mediums and at the same time supports the requirements of modern IP systems such as Power over Ethernet (PoE). In the transmission arena different technologies exist that enable Ethernet signals to be sent over non-standard cable or extended distances over standard twisted pair cable. The technologies will have different performance criteria and it is these October 2015

ne important feature for a copper extension product could be to maintain the network integrity. This ensures that the network speed (wire speed) of the link is maintained at either 100Mbps or 10Mbs and that the connection is fully symmetrical. By doing this it is possible to integrate units into an Ethernet network with complete confidence that the links in no way degrade the performance of the network as they operate at the chosen wire speed. It should also be added at this stage that the line speed selected does not have to be the data rate your traffic must pass at but rather the maximum data rate that the transmission path will support.

The ComNet CopperLine range operates in this very way and supports extended distance transmission over either coaxial or twisted pair cable, with the coaxial medium specified at RG59 or better and the twisted pair CAT5 or better. At 100Mbps distances extend to over six hundred meters on the minimum grade cable and if data rates are set to10Mbps 37

impossible and so the design rational must change to that of the lower af levels. To accommodate this CopperLine PoE+ devices operate as PSE and PD devices through the link to negotiate with the Ethernet switch and camera respectively in the example shown.

distances can be up to fifteen hundred meters on RG59 coaxial cable. The coaxial cable solution provides a simple migration path for analogue end users with legacy coaxial installations who can run their new IP systems over the existing installed infrastructure. Along with the data CopperLine also provides support for PoE at either the 15.4W (IEEE802.3af) or the 30W (IEEE802.3at) power levels. Unfortunately passing power through copper cables is governed by the laws of physics and there is an inverse relationship between the distance and the power level that can be maintained across the link. At the 15.4W level CopperLine operates in a pass-through mode, where the devices outside of the CopperLine units (in the example below an Ethernet switch and IP camera) function as the PSE (Power Sourcing Equipment) and PD (Powered Device) respectively. CopperLine units can either be externally powered or via the PSE.

By configuring in this way, either of the CopperLine devices can be used as a power injector with voltage levels up to 57V DC allowable at the device. For example if the local (switch end) CopperLine unit was powered with 57V DC it would supply passive PoE to the remote CopperLine device that would then fully negotiate with the connected PD to supply power.

CopperLine range

omNet offers Copperline products in a number of permutations to simplify network integration. The af and at level PoE supporting products are available from single channel up to sixteen channels, with all units having equal numbers of in and out ports as point-to-point links only are configured. A miniature pass through or non PoE version is offered for remote locations where the smallest possible form factor is required. This could be direct mounted within the camera enclosure if required. For locations where more than one Ethernet connection is required in the field, Comnet Self Managed Switch (SMS) technology with integrated CopperLine port offers simple solutions. The SMS switch provides four standard 10/ 100 ports with the options for PoE levels up to 30W and the fifth port being either a twisted pair or coaxial CopperLine connection. The CopperLine port can be configured

These powering options provide total flexibility, by offering the simplest installation with everything powered from the central PoE switch or the ability to deliver maximum power levels to the camera by externally powering the CopperLine devices. The ability to provide the correct power levels at the PD will be dictated by the type and quality of the cable being used and also the voltage level present at the PSE. When it comes to Ethernet switches that can operate as PSE devices the ability to increase the voltage level at the Ethernet port could be very useful. If the voltage levels can be increased then there can be voltage drop in the cable but the voltage at the PD location could still be enough to power the connected device. In the case of IEEE802.3af the required minimum voltage at the PD is 37VDC and the maximum voltage allowed at the PSE is 57V DC. If the switch is one with a mains power input then it will tend not to have that ability and the level will be set at 48V DC but if ComNet switches with DC input are used and the power supply can be increased on some models up to 57V DC then the switch in turn will provide those levels. When the PD requires IEEE802.3 at 25.5W power levels and a minimum voltage of 42.5V DC then the game changes significantly. The ability to deliver 25.5W at 42.5V DC from a central PSE offering 48V DC at distances above 100m is October 2015

of copper wires is required so the applications can be many and varied.

for 10Mbps or 100Mbps operation depending on the cable type and distance required.

Analogue & IP mixed

n certain applications the existing analogue over coaxial solution is not being changed but the end user would like to deploy some new IP devices in the field. If this is the case the ComNet SLOC (Security Link Over Coax) system provides an asymmetrical Ethernet channel and a single simplex analogue composite video signal over a single coaxial cable, allowing use of the existing infrastructure to carry the Ethernet signal. The system supports transmission distances up to 500m on RG59 cable and at this distance 36Mbps down and 4Mbps up Ethernet speeds are supported.

The range is completed with a SFP module in twisted pair configuration that can be housed in any MSA compliant SFP housing. This module gives great flexibility to network implementation as the design radius around any Ethernet switch is now greatly increased by the integrated CopperLine technology. Via a simple converter cable or adapter the module presents a BNC connector and enables coaxial cable runs to terminate directly on the Ethernet switch. Another possible use for the SFP module could be in a 60W PoE media converter that ComNet can supply. If used with these devices a 60W IP camera can be installed with the Ethernet signal passing over legacy coaxial cabling or extended twisted pair runs.

The transmitter unit at the camera can also support IEEE802.3at PoE and act as a PSE. It can even be powered from an existing 24V AC camera power supply and generate the PoE from this. This would support connection of a device up to100m away over CAT5 cable or better requiring up to 25.5W of power.

Conclusion

P security & surveillance systems will be deployed in locations based on the operational requirements of the particular end user. The majority of these deployments will be outside of the typical office or building environment and as a result the standard structured cabling solutions may not always be available or provide the best answer. With their range of Extended Ethernet solutions, ComNet provides network operation over non-standard copper mediums as a reliable, proven option for end users. The benefits of utilising existing infrastructure in any project can be significant from a financial and time perspective and those alone make it a solution that cannot be overlooked. In the case of no alternative, the ability to send Ethernet signals over very low grade twisted pair, coaxial or extended CAT5 or better could be the catalyst that enable a project to move forward. When you add to this a -40 to +75째C operating temperature and Lifetime Warranty, the solutions provided by ComNet offer a very interesting proposition as part of your IP network.

If your provided medium is low quality copper, such as CAT3 telephone cable, then the solution is based around VDSL2 transmission technology. Many readers will be familiar with ADSL technology as that which brings the broadband service to homes and offices and this operates on the same principal. Unlike CopperLine, VDSL2 provides a symmetrical performance with different upstream and downstream data rates and also a diminishing return on throughput based on an increasing transmission distance. A benefit of the reducing throughput is the ability to extend distances, well beyond that of the CopperLine technology, with up to 2km on coaxial cable and 3km on CAT3 twisted pair achievable.

Hikvision IP CCTV System Secures Ghana’s International Airport L

Securing public areas

evels of security inside the Aviation industry have never been higher, mainly due to increased terrorism threat levels across the globe combined with a worldwide rise in smuggling activity. No airport is immune from these pressures and Ghana’s ‘Kotoka International’ can now claim to meet ACC3, the highest accreditation in the aviation industry, thanks to their recent investment in the latest generation of IP CCTV systems from Hikvision.

import and export needs.

Terminal 2 is the principal international departure terminal and includes restaurants, duty-free shops and two executive lounges for first and business class travellers. There are also two smaller terminals dedicated solely for diplomatic flights and military operations. Aviance Ghana is one of eight companies making up the Aviance Alliance, which operates at more than 100 airport locations across 4 continents. At Kotoka, the ground services include managing all the passenger concourse facilities in Terminal 2, plus passenger check-in and baggage handling, the loading and unloading of cargo from freight flights and a cargo warehouse operation for all

Aviance Ghana turned to Skylinks Technical Services Ltd and tasked them with designing a solution that would enable it to meet the EU’s ACC3 accreditation, the highest accreditation in the aviation industry. In turn, Skylinks turned to Hikvision for the design of an all-IP CCTV system capable of not only meeting the current challenges facing Aviance in its operation at Kotoka International Airport but also providing an expandable base that could rise to meet future developments.

Overriding security objectives

October 2015

he new Skylink CCTV system design uses four different types of Hikvision IP cameras connected to a 32-channel, RAID 5 NVR over an entirely new Gigabit network infrastructure. The CCTV system uses a combination of IP66-rated dome and bullet cameras with either 1.3 or 3MP resolution. A total of four DS-2CD2312-I 1.3MP Outdoor Network Mini Dome cameras were installed, two in the public areas of the terminal and two at the main gates where passengers complete the biometric log-in process and enter through the turnstiles. To complement the dome cameras, nine EXIR bullet cameras were used: five DS-2CD2212I5 1.3 MP units for general surveillance in the warehouses together with a pair of DS-2CD2232-I5 3MP units where greater resolution was required, and two DS-2CD2632F-I 3MP vari-focal EXIR cameras for the main vehicle entry and exit gates. “All of the cameras offer great resolution, with 3D DNR and Digital WDR as standard, together with a full complement of alarm triggers, including line crossing and motion and intrusion detection” says Haim Atanelov, Skylinks General Manager, “But, the true day/ night capability of the EXIR infrared technology meant that they always delivered clear images, even in the warehouses where lighting conditions are not good. Both the 1.3MP and 3MP bullet cameras employed in the warehouses live up to the 50 meter

IR range quoted. What’s more, the 30 meter EXIR range of the mini dome cameras deployed in the terminal building is also very useful during night time hours when the building lighting is partially shut down. “We also paid particular attention to the vehicle entry and exit points, in each case choosing the 3MP vari-focal bullet cameras for their IP66 environmental protection, high resolution, advanced night viewing capabilities and zoom.”

Into the future

he new system has already proved its worth, helping to completely seal the export warehouse in particular and enabling Kotoka to meet ACC3 accreditation. Together with securing the import warehouse, which serves global airline and cargo brands such as British Airways, South African Airways, Alitalia, KLM, Virgin, DHL, Cargolux etc., it means that the airport is well placed to continue to attract business. “Aviance is especially pleased with the

smooth integration of the Hikvision IP system with the access control system at the 4 turnstiles,” said Atanelov, “Something which was also carefully noted by the EU ACC3 validators. Aviance was also pleased with the integration of the new system with the existing analog CCTV system, although it did show up the difference in video quality immediately. We have already agreed to add further IP cameras to the site and Aviance is committed to phasing out the old system in favour of a totally Hikvision IP system as soon as possible.”

Genetec Secures City of Cincinnati The Queen City uses Omnicast™ video surveillance to quickly dispatch first responders and provide access to video in the field

he City of Cincinnati, which is often referred to as the Queen City, has nearly 300,000 Cincinnatians living in the downtown core and over 2.2 million residents in the surrounding metropolitan area. This influx of citizens has made Cincinnati the third largest city in the state of Ohio, which draws in over 2 million visitors each year. The Cincinnati Police Department (CPD) understood the importance of having video surveillance and other advanced security technologies to keep its citizens safe; investing in its first Genetec Omnicast IP video management system (VMS) in 2008. Over time, the benefits of the video management system prompted the CPD to expand their Omnicast system, and thus sought to leverage the innate scalability of Omnicast to freely and gradually add more cameras as necessary. When the CPD was looking to expand its functionality and benefit from the latest advancements in IP security

technology, they worked with Federal Signal Corporation, an international provider and installer of integrated solutions, to upgrade to Genetec Omnicast IP video surveillance as part of the Genetec unified security platform, Security Center. Genetec Security Center offers advanced functionality such as an intuitive mobile client which provides secure access to video from any mobile device, a map-based interface which makes it easier for operators to locate security devices and handle alarms, and health monitoring which automatically alerts administrators to potential system vulnerabilities.

According to Barry Whitton, Computer Systems Analyst at Cincinnati Police Department Technology and Systems Section, “You can’t have officers everywhere, and by no means do the cameras and VMS take the place of the police officers, but it gives us the ability to view more areas. Omnicast allows us to see what happening in real-time and respond efficiently.”

Having the ability to instantly playback video directly from the live video frame during an emergency, has been the most impactful time-saving feature for the CPD Real Time Crime Center (RTCC), whose officers handle all investigations. “If we have an incident, we can view real-time video, and at the click of a mouse, see what happened only moments before; as well as from a minute ago, to hour ago, to a day ago. Then, it’s only a couple more clicks to bookmark and protect the video,” said Whitton.

User privileges and audit reports keep policies in check

eyond the maritime entities and the RTCC, other Cincinnati city

departments such as the 911 Dispatch Center and the Emergency Operations Center (EOC) have access to the system. Operationally, even the Cincinnati Public Works and Traffic Engineering Departments are using the system to monitor weather conditions on city thoroughfares, spot hazardous debris on roadways and monitor major roadway construction projects. The CPD has also established partnerships with agencies such as the Cincinnati Metropolitan Housing Authority, receiving permission-based access to systems which monitor their respective properties. Since many city departments use the Security Center system, the City of Cincinnati takes every precaution to ensure that only those with proper permissions

have access to certain cameras and system functionalities by setting up very strict user access privileges within Security Center. On a case-by-case basis, the City conducts audit reports to see if any evidence, or the system itself, was being used outside the guidelines of its policies. A quick audit report helps to ensure that the video surveillance system is being used ethically, and that the privacy of its citizens is protected at all times. In terms of ensuring continuous system availability, the CPD has been using the health monitoring feature in Security Center so that they can be immediately notified via e-mail if portable or wireless cameras, or cameras in more important locations, go offline.

The Milestone-based security system together with a proactive approach to the use of surveillance video has reduced the damages to property in Aalborg significantly. In the case of the citizen center called Trekanten, the losses from damage to property have diminished to zero from previously being more than 100,000 Euros a year. The average response time for the city’s guard service is now down to 10 minutes even though the municipality covers 1,138 square kilometers. The effectiveness of the response has also im-

proved with the central command center being able to use the video feed from the cameras as visual verification to guide first-level responders in security incidents; the operators can determine the severity of the alarm and optimize the response. “The Milestone solution has saved us more than a million Euros in insurance costs. And the open platform technology is an important factor for us because it enables rapid rollout, flexible configuration and reduced cost of operation,” says Henrik Svenstrup, Video Management Software Manager, Aalborg Municipality. The municipality has installed Milestone XProtect Corporate video software with one management server and seven recording servers to handle approximately 300 surveillance cameras. The plan is to double the number of cameras within a year.

“The Milestone open platform technology in XProtect is a great advantage because it enables us to pick and choose from the widest range of cameras, and to select the optimal camera for a given task. The IT-savvy design of XProtect makes it easy for our IT department to integrate the VMS systems into the total IT infrastructure,” says Svenstrup. Aalborg Municipality also uses the Milestone Mobile Client that allows access to the central video system via smartphones and tablets. A number of local libraries are unstaffed, so the video system is used to ensure security. Milestone Mobile is used to enable nearby staff to be first responders and resolve smaller incidents. It could be that a visitor to the library inadvertently stayed after closing hours, when the doors are automatically locked. The presence of persons after closing hours will trigger the alarm system. The local

staff can then use the Milestone Mobile client to see the camera views from that location and determine the cause of the alarm, and ease the unfortunate late guest off the premises. This would save the central guard service for more serious incidents. The success of this concept has caused the word to spread to other institutions in Aalborg Municipality. Henrik Svenstrup experiences more and more of them asking for advice on video security. This trend is enforced by the positive experiences of staff at locations using the video to secure the premises. “In the beginning we experienced a bit of unease. But now the comfort in knowing that we can keep an eye on our staff and respond in the most efficient way depending on the situation, is taken very positively. We are getting more video ambassadors all the time,” said Svenstrup.

Arecont Vision® Megapixel Cameras Increase Situational Awareness at Vietnam’s Newest Healthcare Facility T he City International Hospital (CIH), located in the International Hi-Tech Healthcare Park in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, is the first integrated healthcare facility in the country to provide a comprehensive healthcare solution employing advanced medical equipment and a professional medical staff. In keeping with the facility’s high tech environment, the physical security at CIH is supported by an Arecont Vision® megapixel camera video surveil-

lance system. Hospital administrators worked with Citek Corporation, a technology integrator located in Ho Chi Minh City, to design a surveillance system that would maintain the highest levels of situational awareness at the busy hospital. According to Thomas Tran, CEO, Citek Corporation, Arecont Vision® megapixel

image performance, ease of use, and the ability to manage the system centrally or remotely. “Our experience with Arecont Vision® has made them our first choice for every large project because of their exceptional performance and image quality,” said Tran. Approximately two hundred Arecont Vision® megapixel cameras have been installed at CIH to date. These include approximately 100 SurroundVideo® 360° AV8365DN 8-MP panoramic cameras, and 35 SurroundVideo®180° AV8185DN 8-MP panoramic cameras.

These high-performing megapixel panoramic cameras deliver exceptional situational awareness in both day and night lighting conditions. Additionally, there are approximately 60 Arecont Vision® MegaVideo® AV2115DN compact day/ night megapixel cameras installed at key locations which are also operational 24/7. “The quality of Arecont Vision® megapixel cameras more than satisfies our requirements for image quality,” said Lai Voon Hon, General Director of Hoa Lam-Shangri-La, developer of the International Hi-Tech Healthcare Park, “The system is working very well for us and

Arecont Vision® is extremely responsive to our needs.” In addition to meeting the management’s needs for safety and surveillance purposes, the Arecont Vision® megapixel surveillance solution provides CIH with financial benefits as well. For example, a savings was realized from the smaller number of cameras and related accessories and licenses required versus a conventional IP or analog camera solution. Additional savings were also achieved from the reduction in manpower needed to watch video feeds and guard the facility.

Advanced Protection for Magna Carta O

ne of the most famous historical documents in Britain, if not the western world, is being protected by extinguishing and fire alarm panels from Advanced with installation by Reflex Systems. Sealed by King John at Runnymede in 1215, Magna Carta is celebrating its 800th anniversary (the actual anniversary is 15 June). It is the first example of an absolute monarch surrendering some of his powers, the beginning of a process that led eventually to our current system of government and the prototype for democratic government all over the world. The version protected by Advanced is particularly precious being one of only four surviving original 1215 Magna Carta sealed by King John and is kept in a special vault at Lincoln Castle, itself a Scheduled Monument, alongside Magna Carta’s sister document The Charter of the Forest (1217). Lincoln Castle, one of the best pre-

served in England was constructed in the 11th Century by William the Conqueror, and is one of only two to have two mottes. The fire and suppression systems installed by long-time Advanced partner Reflex Systems incorporate two MxPro 5 panels in the main heritage centre and the former Victorian prison building, which closed in 1878. Advanced’s ultradependable ExGo extinguishant release system has been installed in the Magna Carta vault. ExGo has been developed specifically for sensitive and strategic assets such as server rooms, historic and cultural attractions and control rooms. It has been installed in high-profile buildings across the globe, including the Romanian National Library and along oil pipelines in Sudan. MxPro is the industry-leading multiprotocol fire system. Offering real choice and flexibility, it includes two panel ranges, the EN54-2&4 approved MxPro 4 and EN54-2,4&13 approved MxPro 5. October 2015

It offers four protocols, Apollo, Argus, Hochiki and Nittan and a completely open installer network that benefits from free training and technical support. John Pye, Managing Director of Reflex Systems said, “Lincoln Castle required an open protocol fire system and we knew that Advanced panels could deliver maximum reassurance and long term reliability. Having worked with Advanced in the past, we knew that the equipment would be of the highest quality for such a historic building plus the system offers the flexibility to meet future requirements.” MxPro 5 panels can be used in single loop, single panel format or easily configured into high speed, 200 panel networks covering huge areas and tens of thousands of field devices. In total, one MxPro 5 four-loop panel was installed in the main prison building and one MxPro 5 two-loop panel was installed in the heritage centre. ExGo is suitable for almost all

single-flooding area applications and includes a range of control options and devices. It is approved to EN54 parts 2, 4 and 13 and EN12094-1 and is among the first systems to combine these with EN12094 Part 3 in a single solution. EN12094-3 relates to the integrated manual release on the front of the panel. ExGo can be integrated into Advanced’s Axis and MxPro fire panels, or any third party fire system. A spokesperson for Lincoln Castle

commented, “We’re very pleased with the Advanced systems installed by Reflex. As the Castle is a listed building, it was essential that the panels and detectors be as discrete as possible, particularly in the prison and the Magna Carta Vault. This year marks the 800th anniversary of the sealing of Magna Carta and we are happy that our visitors will be able see one of the four original copies under the protection of Advanced panels.”

Neil Parkin, Sales Manager for Advanced added, “Advanced fire systems are famous for their quality and ease-of-use and being specified to protect life and cultural assets of this importance is testament to our work to stay at the forefront of the market. As a company we are proud of all of our jobs but this one is very special. They don’t come up very often and it says a lot about Advanced products that we are the first choice.”

Denver, TX Schools Rely on 3xLOGIC’s inﬁnias Access Control On-going installation scheduled to reach 900 doors by end of 2015

xLOGIC, Inc., has announced that Denver City Schools, in Texas, has completed installation of 3xLOGIC’s Intelli-M access control solution at nearly 700 doors across 10 buildings in the school district. Plans call to complete an additional 200 doors by the end of the current year. In late 2010, Denver City Schools (Texas) approached the security integrator Digital Air Control (DAC), seeking a solution to their access control requirements. A competitive solution that had been installed in one of their facilities previously had fallen short of expectations and alternative solutions offered by local providers were cost prohibitive. The stand-alone locksets that were installed initially ran on batteries and required that someone with a PDA physically go to each door and re-program them. Obviously, this was time-consuming and costly. Denver City Schools sought a solution that could be centrally managed via

a web-based interface and had a more predictable power supply. Through their ongoing partnership with Digital Air Control, Denver City Schools was introduced to the infinias Intelli-M solution by 3xLOGIC. Digital Air Control’s relationship with Denver City Schools had focused primarily on HVAC and lighting automation to achieve better management of facility resources and improved cost-savings. DAC had not previously worked with the Intelli-M system. Dan Moore, Regional Manager of the Lubbock branch said, “My iniOctober 2015

tial impression of the Intelli-M solution was that it was much better in both design and cost than other access control system I had seen. In further dealings with infinias (now 3xLOGIC), I found them to be very customer centric and their technical support was outstanding.” DAC first installed the Intelli-M solution in Denver City School’s new Industrial Arts Building. DAC technicians found the infinias product “Simple to install and easy to program.” Digital Air Control later installed Intelli-M in Denver City’s new field house and bus barn, where they integrated access control into the over-head door systems and used long-range readers to enable buses access from drive-up gates. Digital Air Control also provides the school system with integration of the Intelli-M Access interface into a total-building management interface as well as remote management and maintenance of all of the schools’ systems.

Control, is impressed with the Intelli-M product, “infinias’ (and now 3xLOGIC’s) ongoing reinvestment in their product gives us an ever-improving solution to offer to our customers.” After the locations noted above, DAC moved on to the school district’s maintenance and distribution facilities. In total, 10 buildings now boast the Intelli-M access

control system, with more in the planning stages. A leader in the Security industry for more than 15 years, 3xLOGIC is known for providing complete, easy-to-use surveillance solutions that seamlessly integrate audio, video, access control and disparate data such as ATM, Pointof-Sale (POS), analytics, etc. 3xLOG-

IC’s video surveillance solutions are engineered for scalability and are remarkably simple to install, use and service. Employing the latest advances in NVR, VMS, IP camera, analytic, cloud, and now access control technologies, 3xLOGIC delivers high-value business intelligence anywhere, anytime and from any device.

Chilean Forests Are Safer with Expansion of Emergency Communications Technology Expansion of Chile’s largest private digital radio system will improve security, safety, operational efficiency and environmental impact of Forestal Mininco

otorola Solutions (NYSE: MSI) has announced the expansion of its managed services agreement supporting Forestal Mininco’s mission-critical communications system. The system improves employee safety and security, operational efficiency and Forestal Mininco’s impact on the environment. The system supports a number of Motorola Solutions’ high-tech innova-

tions, such as the TETRA messaging application, which enables lighthouse keepers to deliver weather data, such as air humidity, wind and rainfall, from radios in the forest to the dispatch center. The data is then analyzed to generate forecasts and statistics, predict the behavior of fires and used to develop action plans. “As the operations of Forestal Mininco are very diverse and carried out in a rugged landscape, they need to be coordinated. We had to keep improving the technology deployed some years ago. In order to extend coverage, we were looking to seamlessly cover the area between Regions 7 – 9. In addition, thanks to October 2015

Motorola Solutions technology, we have been improving our communications, which will enable us to enhance operational efficiency and safety,” said Luis Rodriguez, administration manager at Forestal Mininco. Through the fleet management application, radios in the field can be tracked, improving security in the forest while saving time and fuel, reducing the environmental impact of Forestal Mininco’s operations. New electronic dispatch guides are bringing another innovation to the forestry industry in Chile. The cranes located in the forest generate the guides, enabling workers to conduct online tracking of materials, from the harvesting of the raw material to the end of the process. “The managed communication system provided by Motorola Solutions helps our customers reduce their initial capital expenses and avoid errors as it

operates with different technology options,” explained Mitchel Zúñiga, services manager at Motorola Solutions for Forestal Mininco Operation, “In cases like Forestal Mininco, we can manage the entire system from initial deployment, and develop it based on their business needs.” The Terrestrial Trunked radio (TETRA) system will include 10 new

radio frequency sites, new applications and portable devices to increase coverage due to the rugged geography, spanning over 49,000 square kilometers in the areas of Maule, Biobío and La Araucanía. The new solutions include two sites connected to the system via satellite links. These links provide communications in difficult-to-access places and enable mobile coverage, a

feature specifically designed to support harvesting tasks in the large areas of the forest. These enhancements will provide considerable increase in signal coverage and service quality. The renewal of the agreement entered into Motorola Solutions and Forestal Mininco in 2010 includes the extension of coverage with new sites and 2,350 new terminals.

Presents

Security Solutions for Airports at Inter Airport Europe 2015

The inter airport Europe trade fair will be held in Munich from 6 to 9 October 2015, and Dallmeier will present the very latest in video security solutions for airports there ith the Panomera® multifocal sensor system, Dallmeier will demonstrate the latest technology for airport security at the inter airport trade fair. Panomera® is a patented camera technology, which was specially developed to enable comprehensive video surveillance of expansive areas. The multifocal sensor technology makes it possible to display wide expanses as well as long distances in unequalled resolution quality, in real time and at high frame rates of up to 30fps – and the area can be monitored from a single location. An outstanding feature of the system is its unique combination of an overall view with simultaneous high detail resolution at every distance. This offers many advantages for airport security. At airports, huge premises with a variety of areas must be monitored around the clock, whether on

take-off or landing runways, the airfield and hangars, the terminal buildings and baggage handling systems, car parks or access roads. The multifocal sensor technology provides a comprehensive overview of all activity around the airOctober 2015

port and airfield. Besides the documentation of take-offs and landings, queues of aircraft at the runway, cargo and goods during loading or repairs and construction works can be fully documented and checked. In addition, debris or parts on the runway or the aircraft taxiways or fatigue cracks on the runway can be detected reliably. Besides the multi sensor technology, Dallmeier offers complete systems for network-based video security with IP cameras, recording servers, intelligent video analysis and video management software. With an open system architecture, the video system remains flexible and scalable, and thanks to its open interfaces (e.g., ONVIF) it can easily be linked to third party systems, for access control or fire protection systems, for example.

New Zealand Customs Select Morpho New Zealand customs services select Morpho’s next generation e-Gates for enhanced passenger processing

orpho (Safran) has signed a new 5-year agreement with NZ Customs Services (NZCS) through to 2020. This will see NZCS rollout an initial nine next generation Morpho e-Gates in 2015 at Auckland international airport, with the option to supply new and replacement gates over the next five years across major New Zealand airports. The agreement also covers a Biometric Research Partnership that will see NZCS and Morpho collaborate to advance global research in Facial Recognition. The objective of this collaboration is to improve the accuracy of the recognition algorithms embedded on the e-Gates, and contribute to an even higher level of security at the border while further reducing the false rejections of legitimate travellers. “SmartGate has been very well received in New Zealand, with over 13

million travellers having successfully used the technology since its introduction in 2009,” says Carolyn Tremain, Comptroller of New Zealand Customs Service, “We are expanding the capability to ensure we continue to stay at the forefront of passenger processing efficiency and border security, and enhance the passenger experience.” “The new generation SmartGate is a clear reflection of our collaborative approach with NZCS to pave the way for the future of border control solutions in the region,” stated Tim Ferris, Managing Director of Morpho’s local subsidiary, Morpho Australasia, “This new technology has the capability to further simplify and speed up border processing whilst offering the highest level of security for our borders.” Since 2009, New Zealand’s Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch airports have been using SmartGate

to give eligible travellers the option of self-processing through passport control. The system uses facial recognition technology to compare facial images of the traveller against the data contained in the e-Passport’s chip. The project has been a great success with the travelling public and was awarded Project of the Year by the NZ Government in 2010. The new generation SmartGate brings additional convenience as it speeds up traveller processing with a one-step process, eliminating the kiosk and ticket part of the current system. It uses e-Gates that have a smaller footprint to meet the space constraints of airports whilst also having Morpho’s latest workflow and biometric matching software. In addition to this, is the solution’s ability to add other biometric capabilities such as fingerprint or iris recognition at a future stage.

their economy while providing the legal cornerstones of identity that ensures citizens can receive the services they need to dramatically improve their daily lives.” HID Global and DGM partnered with the Angolan Government’s Ministry of Justice to implement an ‘over the counter’ process in which each citizen is now securely issued an ID in less than an hour, either at established centers or via mobile units that are deployed to remote areas. Storing both personal and biometric identification, each national ID card uses HID Global’s optical security media (OSM) technology to prevent counterfeiting and obstruct tampering while

facilitating quick and accurate authentication in the field. HID Global supplies the program’s ID cards as well as a decentralized personalization solution that includes hundreds of secure ID card printer/ encoder systems. The company also has established a center with DGM in Luanda, Angola, for ongoing technology service and support. “HID Global and DGM are the first winners in this new category, and their contribution to the Angolan National ID Program was really one of the shining stars of this year’s awards – we consider it to be among the top five entries across the entire competition,” said Adrian Courtenay, Chairman of World Business

Media, LLC, the company that publishes Government Security News, “GSN makes a special effort each year to update our awards program to highlight the newest and most important technologies making the biggest impact on the market. One of these new categories was the Most Notable National ID Program, and the Angolan program really exemplifies what we were trying to showcase.” The company was also honored with a GSN Magazine award in 2010 for its contribution to the next-generation United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) Green Card in the ‘Most Effective Border Security Program’ category.

Viva Gym Trusts Matrix

Facilitates automatic gym management using integration with membership management software

South Africa based gym has 4000 members to whom they want to offer a modern, energetic and innovative exercise experience. For eliminating manual intervention and reducing admin work, they were using KRS – gym and membership management software for managing all membership and payment related processes. They wanted integrated solutions which allow/ deny entry based on date of completion of membership of that user. Matrix provides an access control solution which keeps track of membership duration and allows/ denies access based on it.

Challenges

● Hygienic solution for 4000 gym members. ● Integration with existing gym management software – KRS.

● 2 different types of credentials for different types of members. ● Membership data should be transferred in Matrix software.

Solution offered

atrix offers innovative and contactless palm vein based door controller to control entry of the members. Two COSEC DOOR PVRs are installed at their main entrances and integrated with the turnstile. For the physically challenged people, Matrix installed RFID card based door controller on the 3rd gate to get easy access for them. To meet client’s software requirement in an innovative way, Matrix has integrated COSEC CENTRA with their KRS software using web API. This integration prevents any duplicate entries for the admin and saves a large amount

SDN and the Changing Face of Enterprise Networks By Subhasish Gupta – Country Manager, India & SAARC, Allied Telesis

Introduction

nterprise data networks have evolved rapidly over the last few decades, and are continuing to evolve at a steady pace. The office data networks of the 1990s were unsophisticated. PCs and servers shared lengths of coaxial cable, or chains of hubs and repeaters. The goal was simply to get packets back and forth in a relatively reliable fashion. Bandwidth management, access control, high

availability and loop protection were beyond the capability of the equipment in use at that time. As with any technology going through a maturing phase, LAN networking had a period of competing options. At the transport layer, Token Ring and FDDI were serious alternatives to Ethernet until Gigabit Ethernet arrived. At the networking layer, enterprise networks ran multiple protocols. For a long time, IPv4 was a minor player in comparison to Appletalk, IPX and NetBEUI. However, with the standardization onto IP over Ethernet, the industry has moved forward rapidly. Since 2000, with the transport layer and network layer battles out of the way, the business of adding capability, reliability and performance to Enterprise networks has progressed in earnest: ● Performance went ahead in leaps: ○ Layer-3 switching extended wirespeed forwarding right across the LAN. ○ Ethernet jumped from 100Mbps to 1Gbps to 10Gbps, while price per port continued to fall. ○ Forwarding tables expanded by factors of 10. ● Security extended from the Internet gateway into the whole network. October 2015

● Multiple generations of link and device resiliency solutions were developed. ● Bandwidth management and Quality of Service (QoS) grew in scope and precision. ● Network management, monitoring and diagnostic features advanced in breadth and depth. ● Routing protocols and IP service utilities matured, through the work of the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF). Today, enterprise networks are rich with complexity and capability. Voice and video have converged with data onto a single IP-over-Ethernet infrastructure. Wireless Ethernet connectivity has become ubiquitous. High levels of security, reliability and manageability are now a basic expectation. However, it is important not to fall into the trap of thinking that the time of innovation is at an end. Despite the huge amount of progress made so far, there is still no room for complacency. Technical advances are driven by the need to meet challenges, and there are still plenty of problems arising in the realm of enterprise networking. More innovation is needed, and so Enterprise networking continues to innovate.

Today’s challenges

Bring Your Own Device (BYOD)

he rapid proliferation of mobile computing devices has irrevocably changed the landscape. The days of enterprise networks being accessed just from a fixed set of user equipment sanctioned by the IT team are gone forever. Not only are these mobile devices diverse, the applications they provide to users are advancing in every direction at once. Dealing with the mobility, diversity, and rapid advancement of these devices while maintaining the security, reliability and performance of the network, is a unique challenge.

the data network still provides problems to be solved. Particularly problematic are: ● The increasing size of files that need to be transferred across the network. Items like Computer Aided Design (CAD), movie production or medical imaging files are large pieces of data that need to be transferred speedily, because a user is waiting to view the file. These bursts of rapid file transfer provide serious bandwidth competition for realtime services. ● The amount of ad-hoc video conferencing, using applications like Skype, that occurs now. Even though these video calls are not scheduled events using the organizing video conferencing suite, users expect reasonable quality in the call, and are typically unaware of the effects their calls may be having on other data flows in the network.

Private data centers

acking up servers to tape on a daily or weekly basis is no longer sufficient. In the case of a severe event that takes premises out of action, the time taken to re-establish all services and content from tape is not acceptable. Organizations need real-time mirroring of servers to an offsite location, and a process to cut over to running services live from that offsite location. Managing a mirrored infrastructure, and the data flows to keep the mirror site in sync, are not simple matters.

erver rooms no longer hold just a set of file servers, with inbuilt disk storage. Now, even moderate-sized organizations host a number of virtualized servers, accessing data from a Storage Area Network (SAN) or a set of Network Attached Storage (NAS) devices. Low-latency, high bandwidth data transfer is expected within these inhouse data centers. Also, as services move between physical hosts, and data migrates between storage locations, the switching equipment must be reactive to these changes. This level of network performance and reactivity has not been typical in enterprise networks in the past.

Mixed data usage

Cloud-based applications

Disaster recovery

onvergence of real-time services like VoIP, video conferencing, surveillance video, machine control onto

a repository of data and applications. Cloud-hosted services put unprecedented pressure on Internet connections, creating another growing bandwidth management headache.

Increased data exchange with clients

n a number of commercial and government sectors, the exchange of high volumes of data with clients is an essential component of the organization’s operation. Moreover, much of this data transfer needs to be performed securely. Reliably providing controlled secure access to private servers, whilst ensuring acceptable data transfer rates, is an area ripe for innovation.

High bandwidth connectivity with external mobile users

he flip-side of BYOD is that the mobile devices that users bring into the office are also with them when they are out of the office. The ability to check email, update records and examine data – anywhere, anytime – is something users greatly appreciate, and the uptake of this opportunity has been enormous.

he most high-profile development in data networking in recent years has been the emergence of ‘the cloud’ as

WHITE PAPER

Additionally, the advent of tablets – which constitute reasonably capable computing platforms, but with limited storage – has enabled a trend towards data staying in secure onsite or cloud – based storage, and remotely accessed from the tablet. This greatly reduces the risk associated with significant amounts of data being stored in theft-vulnerable laptops. Altogether, this trend to remote access from mobile devices is distinctly beneficial for productivity and data security, but it is yet another trend that is putting pressure on WAN bandwidth. So much activity – downloading e-mail attachments, loading data files and viewing multimedia content – that was previously carried out over the LAN is now occurring across the Internet. What’s more, the bandwidth of mobile data connections is now in the multiple megabits per second, and users expect their mobile devices to receive data at a decent rate. Maintaining a good service to mobile users requires taking a fresh approach to how data services are provided. It makes sense for organizations to take advantage of cloud-based services, which have high bandwidth Internet access, to serve mobile users. But at the same time, LAN-based users experience better performance from servers located in-house. How to achieve a balance between on-site and off-site location of services, or even migrate users’ points of access as they move around, are new technical puzzles for IT teams to solve.

Energy efficiency

educing energy consumption in order to manage costs, achieve sustainability goals, and adhere to legislative requirements, is a key performance objective within organizations worldwide. The focus on resource conservation is now far more than just lip service

– many organizations are instituting a role of Chief Sustainability Officer, who has a seat at the board table. Inevitably, IT, with air-conditioned rooms full of equipment running 24/7, and PCs on every desktop, receives a good deal of attention from those tasked with reducing energy consumption. Meeting power reduction goals puts pressure on IT teams to do some innovative thinking. IT staff know that not all their servers and network equipment need to run 24/7, and that services can tick along on less equipment at certain times of the day, and certain days of the week. But, automating the shut-down of the right equipment at the right times, without impacting users, is by no means simple. Reliable solutions for this process need to extract extensive data from servers and network infrastructure, perform realtime analysis of this data, and apply robust algorithms to migrate virtual servers, re-route traffic and shut down or power up sections of the network.

Extending network reach

s IP-over-Ethernet becomes the universal communication medium, the range of locations and equipment that connect to data networks is expanding apace. Electronic signage, alarm monitors, surveillance cameras, pumping stations, environmental data collectors, radars, solar panels, vehicles and more, are all joining onto the enterprise network. Each has its own characteristics and requirements, and special challenges for IT. This is a trend that is just ramping up, of course. The much vaunted ‘Internet of Things’ is still yet to really come into its own. Monitoring, troubleshooting, con-

October 2015

trolling connections to such a variety of devices, in such a variety of locations, many of them physically remote with no staff on-site, is going to be very different to in-house network operation.

Managing complexity

he most immediate challenge that enterprise network managers are facing today is the fact that managing complex networks is difficult. As network equipment grows in complexity, and the applications running over the network diversify, network managers are caught in a bind. On one hand, enterprises are increasingly dependent on the reliable operation of their data network. On the other hand, ensuring reliable interoperation of all these applications, and troubleshooting the issues that arise, is increasingly difficult. Moreover, the pace of change is forever increasing. Enterprises are eager to reduce costs and realize opportunities by converging yet more services onto the data network, and by taking hold of new technologies like service virtualization, mobile access, and the other technology changes discussed above.

Meeting the challenges

he industry has not simply put these new challenges into the too-hard basket, but is developing new ways of working that will meet the current challenges, and further evolve the operation of Enterprise networking. Frequently, these initiatives are collectively described as Software Defined Networking (SDN). However, as with any umbrella term, SDN means different things to different people. It is important not to assume that SDN is a paradigm change that will uniformly re-engineer the world’s networks into new mode of operation.

CMYK

WHITE PAPER

Rather, SDN should be treated as a way of thinking about network control. The SDN way of thinking recognizes two key points: 1. Individual network nodes do not have a broad view of what is happening in the network. Therefore the control of forwarding decisions in the network (commonly referred to as ‘the control plane’) cannot be entirely left in the hands of individual network nodes. Instead some, or all, of the network control plane must be put into the hands of centralized software applications which can take input from multiple network elements and exert influence on the forwarding decisions of multiple network nodes at once. 2. Configuring and monitoring network nodes as a set of discrete individuals is unnecessarily inefficient. If the network nodes can be managed more as a distributed forwarding fabric, then significant efficiencies can be gained, and range of network management activities can be automated. It is very important to consider how the SDN approach to network control and network management can be applied to the current challenges in enterprise networking.

Controlling the control plane

he self-organizing protocols that have provided the characteristic distributed control plane in data networks for the past few decades are very well suited to tasks like removing network loops, distributing routes, controlling resilient links and authenticating connected devices. But they are not well suited to activities that need a wider over-view of the network, or end-toend management of data flows.

For example, the distributed control plane is not well suited to: ● Measuring the aggregate data transmission rate between two sectors of a network, and determining that the traffic can all be re-routing to a new path, so that under-utilized ports and switches can be taken down to save power. ● Receiving notification that an important video conference is about to begin, and will pass through the same bottleneck point as a series of large file transfers, and therefore rerouting the file transfers away from the bottleneck. ● Moving VPN connections off to a cloud-based service, or back again, when the volume of e-mail transactions from remote mobile users rises above or falls below a given threshold. ● Applying network-wide throttling to a particular traffic type, due to detection of a virus infection on a newly attached mobile device. The SDN approach can be applied to enterprise networking by developing applications that: ● Receive feeds of traffic sampling data, and analyze the data to identify traffic patterns that represent threats or overuse of policy-controlled online sites like Facebook or YouTube. Then, automatically update network node operating parameters, so they block or throttle that traffic. ● Recognize when an authenticated user, connected wirelessly to the network, roams to different sectors of the network. Upon recognizing this user’s change of location, any policies applied to their connection point, or dynamic configuration required to provide them access to certain services, can be automatically updated October 2015

in the relevant network nodes. ● Monitor the load on Network Function Virtualization (NFV) instances, such as Intrusion Detection System (IDS) services, Virtual Private Network (VPN) controllers and Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) accelerators; add or remove instances as appropriate, and update network nodes to route the right traffic to the right NFV instances.

Automating management

he model of manually managing network nodes as discrete units cannot remain viable in the current operating environment. Network management must evolve, so that changes can be rolled out more rapidly, and problems can be solved efficiently. Applying SDN to network management involves three main strands of development: 1. Embedding more management intelligence into the network nodes themselves, so they can actively participate in a unified network management framework, rather than being passively managed. 2. Enhancing the analytic information that network nodes can provide, so that a deep picture of the network’s state can be accessed at any given time. 3. Creating applications that can work with the network nodes’ embedded management intelligence to simplify and automate network management tasks. The scope of operation of these applications will grow as the level of analytics they gather from the network increases. Reworking network management by implementing these lines of development will create networks in which: ● New nodes are automatically configured as soon as they are attached to

the network. ● The configuration changes required to support new services are rolled out across the network from a single console. ● Troubleshooting is aided by the ability to drill down into detailed network state information, and to step through a replay of the way the network’s state changed over a specified time period.

Allied Telesis initiatives in enterprise SDN

llied Telesis are a leader in the evolution of enterprise networking. For three decades, as enterprise networking has developed, Allied Telesis equipment and solutions have been at the leading edge of progress. The company is presently working on several fronts to implement the solutions that will meet the current and future challenges in this sector.

Allied Telesis Management Framework

he Allied Telesis initiatives have been spearheaded by advances in the field of network management automation. Allied Telesis recognize that the growing operating cost of network management is an almost universal issue for organizations around the world, and have focused significant innovative energy on creating a framework for automation of

network management. The result of this work is Allied Telesis Management Framework (AMF), a combination of embedded management intelligence and a central controller which automates such tasks as: ● Adding a new switch to a network. ● Replacing a failed switch. ● Installing a software upgrade across the network. ● Backing up configuration and software images from network nodes. ● Updating configuration on multiple network nodes at once. This framework unifies the network nodes into a single management plane that overlays the network to provide the automated functionality. As new nodes are added to the network, the management plane is immediately expanded to include them. The plane extends seamlessly across WAN links or VPNs to include remote sites, and unstaffed locations.

Openflow

llied Telesis have integrated Openflow into the AlliedWare Plus Operating System, to provide an Openflow API on the x-series Ethernet switches. This standards-based SDN API enables the switches to be controlled by any SDN controller that uses Openflow as its southbound communication method.

Future directions

uilding on the foundation provided by AMF and the Openflow implementation, Allied Telesis will continue to evolve their enterprise SDN solutions. The unique integration of an embedded management framework and a standards-based SDN API, along with planned Network Function Virtualization (NFV) offerings, will provide a October 2015

strong platform on which to move enterprise networks forward. The directions in which the Allied Telesis solutions will be looking to take enterprise networks are: ● Complete unified network management of wired, wireless, LAN and WAN components, using AMF. ● Cloud-based network management control. ● Integration of network management, SDN apps and user identity servers. ● Inclusion of NFV components into the unified management and controlplane solution. ● Extension of integrated management out to new classes of Ethernet-connected devices, to provide a coherent interface onto the ‘Intranet of Things.’

Conclusion

n the early days of networking the focus was on delivering reliable connectivity with consistent performance to ensure that users were able to access services when they needed to. Today, networks – particularly wired networks – are extremely reliable, deliver performance in the order of Gigabits or tens of Gigabits per second to the user and are packed with features to improve reliability and security. The challenges of today are no longer around how to deliver access and performance, but rather are focused on how to keep up with the dynamic nature of technology environments, how to simplify infrastructure, and how to do more with the limited resources within an organization. SDN, AMF and Openflow are important technologies that will enable organizations to overcome these challenges today and will continue to evolve to overcome the challenges of tomorrow.

EXTEGRA IP 9000 FX from BOSCH New family of cameras for hazardous environments

osch has launched EXTEGRA IP 9000 FX, a new family of explosion-proof IP cameras developed for safe operation in hazardous environments. No matter whether it is exceptionally hot or cold (-50° to +60° Celsius), the lighting conditions are extremely poor, the monitored objects are far away or there is a high level of moisture or dust, the new EXTEGRA IP 9000 FX cameras

deliver the highest quality of security relevant images. They are specifically designed and certified to operate in potentially volatile environments with the assurance that they will not cause an explosion. This makes them the camera of choice where gases, vapors, dust, or

clouds escape during the production of flammable substances. EXTEGRA IP 9000 FX cameras are ideal for use in industries like oil and gas, chemical, petrochemical, fertilizer, and pharmaceutical.

Capturing relevant details in the extreme

XTEGRA IP 9000 FX cameras are ATEX and IECEX certified for safe operation in hazardous environments. They are tested according to the IEC standard EN501305 for continuous and safe operation in surroundings with temperature ranges from -50° to +60° Celsius (-58° to 140° Fahrenheit). Overall quality and safety are further assured by the cameras’ CSA and IEC 60950-1 certifications. For use in caustic environments like offshore sites or chemical plants, the new camera family offers a stainless steel version. Both the stainless steel and aluminum housings are IP68 and NEMA 6P certified and resistant to corrosion and high levels of moisture and dust. EXTEGRA IP 9000 FX products feature a 30x optical zoom with autofocus, which enables the operator to remotely configure the field of view to detect objects at distances from nine to 700 meters (2,296 ft). The cameras can be powered over Ethernet (HiPoE) or 24 Volt, ensuring continuous availability in the event that one of these power sup-

plies should fail. The EXTEGRA IP 9000 FX family consists of two models. In extreme low light situations, the EXTEGRA IP starlight 9000 FX camera excels by delivering HD video images and easily capturing fast moving objects at 720p HD resolution and up to 60 frames per second. It continues to provide video images where other cameras fail, even down to 0.0103 lux. Similarly, clear HD images are captured in full color right down to 0.052 lux – when other cameras switch to monochrome. Should the application demand maximum resolution for optimum identification of objects in high contrast scenes, the second model, EXTEGRA IP dynamic 9000 FX is the perfect choice providing full HD 1080p resolution. Since the EXTEGRA IP 9000 FX cameras are made for safe operation in hazardous environments, Bosch has specifically designed these two cameras to be heavy duty, yet easy to install and maintain. Configuration and firmware can be updated remotely to simplify initial set-up and minimize service visits.

Onboard technologies add sense and structure

he EXTEGRA IP 9000 FX family is equipped with key technologies from Bosch to deliver the highest image quality, network performance and reliability. Intelligent Dynamic Noise Reduction (IDNR) cuts storage costs and significantly lowers network strain by reducing bitrate by up to 50 percent. Since excess noise is reduced at the

source during image capture, the lower bitrate does not compromise video quality. Local storage inside the camera further enhances network performance by compensating for short network outages, ensuring that video data is continuously available in Video Recording Manager (VRM) systems. In addition, built-in Intelligent Video Analysis (IVA) offers a full suite of 16 IVA alarm algorithms helping the operator to focus on relevant situations by alerting only when needed. IVA also ensures quick retrieval of the correct data from

hours of stored video by using metadata to add sense and structure to the video at the time of capture in the camera. The EXTEGRA IP 9000 FX family fully supports Dynamic Transcoding technology from Bosch, enabling operators, in combination with the Video Security app, to use mobile devices to access camera controls, live video streams, recordings, and HD images from anywhere, regardless of available bandwidth. It continuously ensures an extremely efficient transfer of HD images over low-bandwidth connections.

Bosch IP high-definition cameras, encoders, and analytics work seamlessly with a wide range of security software and recording solutions from Bosch and many other leading vendors. This is backed by ONVIF (Open Network Video Interface Forum) conformance and the Integration Partner Program (IPP). This program gives developers immediate access to software development tools so they can easily integrate Bosch products with third-party systems. The EXTEGRA IP 9000 FX cameras are available worldwide.

Federation-as-a-Service

Reduce your investment to implement global monitoring across multi-site systems

s an organization expands to multiple sites, monitoring the security system of individual locations can significantly increase security operations costs. Federationas-a-Service (FaaS) helps to reduce the investment to secure distributed sites, by facilitating the centralization of monitoring, reporting, and alarm management operations across distinct systems or organizations. The ability to supervise distributed systems from a single location can be paramount to effectively securing and monitoring multi-site installations. With real-time and automated synchronization of information, Federation provides organizations with a unified view of cameras, doors, automatic license plate recognition (ALPR) units, intrusion panels, and all related events and alarms between sites. Genetec’s Federation™ feature is an ideal fit for city-wide surveillance and managed central monitor-

ing services where multiple independent customers can be monitored centrally, while maintaining the independence of local security systems and operations. Building on Genetec’s powerful Federation™ architecture, FaaS allows organizations to reduce on-site hardware and time spent administering their system by moving Federation and management servers in the cloud. The service’s highly elastic architecture enables additional systems to be added to a Federation, as an organization expands their operations across additional locations, without commissioning new hardware at the central site. The headend system is automatically kept up-to-date with the latest Security Center releases and integrations, allowing remote federated sites October 2015

to update their on-premises systems at their own pace, while also avoiding compatibility issues when connecting to the central system.

surveillance system is in one box. Small business owners get a highly discreet four-camera surveillance system with easy and secure remote monitoring and management, even from mobile devices.”

AXIS F34 Surveillance System

XIS F34 Surveillance System includes one AXIS F34 Main Unit with an external power supply and four thumb-sized AXIS F1004 Sensor Units that can be discreetly recess- or surfacemounted on ceilings and walls using the included accessories. Also supplied are two AXIS Surveillance micro SDXC card 64 GB (with SD card adaptors) that are specifically engineered to handle continuous overwriting for lasting performance. The cards are compatible with AXIS F34 Main Unit’s built-in SD card slots for local storage of recordings and enable the system to run independently without the need for an external PC or a recording device for day-to-day operation. Another important component of the system is the use of the freely downloadable video management software, AXIS Camera Companion 3.10, for easy and secure remote monitoring and management from any device with the software application. The system operates efficiently with two Axis 64 GB cards that allow one to two week’s worth of video recording

to be retained before overwriting takes place. Recording and storage are optimized, thanks to smart programs and technologies in AXIS F34 Main Unit and AXIS Camera Companion 3.10 that enable: ● Automatic configuration of AXIS F34 Main Unit for recording based on video motion detection. ● Support for Video Motion Detection 3, a video analytic program that has a false alarm filter to ignore motion such as swaying trees and small animals so that it can reliably detect moving objects of interest. ● Axis’ Zipstream technology, a more efficient implementation of the H.264 video encoder that can lower bandwidth and storage use by an average of 50% or more for many surveillance scenarios.

AXIS F Series

XIS F34 is part of a series of products that is based on a divided network camera concept, where the camera is split into a sensor unit – made up of a lens and image sensor with a cable – and a main unit, which is the body of the camera. The cable connects the sensor unit with the main unit and gives installers the flexibility to mount the small sensor unit discreetly or in tight places, while the main unit can be placed elsewhere where there is space. Four-chan-

nel main units such as AXIS F34 can connect to four sensor units at a time. With AXIS F34 Surveillance System, the four AXIS F1004 Sensor Units can be installed in four different indoor locations up to 15 m (49 ft.) away from the AXIS F34 Main Unit. Since AXIS F1004 supports 720p resolution, the main unit can simultaneously stream full frame rate HDTV 720p videos from the four connected sensor units through its one Ethernet port. When AXIS F34 Main Unit is used with 1080p AXIS F Sensor Units, the main unit can stream 1080p videos at 12.5/ 15 frames per second (50/ 60 Hz) or 720p videos at full frame rate (25/ 30fps) from each channel. AXIS F34 also supports quad view streaming, which combines four separate views from the connected sensor units into one for simultaneous viewing. Besides Axis’ Zipstream technology and Video Motion Detection 3, AXIS F34 Main Unit supports active tampering alarm and third-party applications based on the AXIS Camera Application Platform. The main unit can be powered using Power over Ethernet or an external power supply. AXIS F34 Main Unit is available now for sale. AXIS F34 Surveillance System, and the 3.10 version of AXIS Camera Companion will be available in October.

-Core 1.3 provides more flexibility in the truest sense of the word: When using fish-eye cameras such as the G-Cam/ EHC 3180, the new viewer-integrated dewarping function supports complete flexibility at the display of the images. Fisheye cameras deliver – similar to a peephole – perfect all-round visibility,

but quite distorted: the scene looks like seen through a big bubble. With dewarping, the currently selected screen area is converted into the original dimensions for the viewer. The user controls the view by panning and tilting, or scene is displayed in multiple viewers in a panorama or quad view. This works not just in the live stream, but also for recorded images.

To provide as much flexibility as possible, the number of interfaces to third party systems in G-Core is continually expanding, New interfaces are for example to access control provider Lenel, to the intercom systems from Commend and Schneider Intercom or to the perimeter detection systems from Southwest Microwave.

March Networks Introduces

World’s First Self-Contained, HDR Surveillance Camera for Banking ATMs MegaPX ATM camera delivers sharp megapixel images and compact, no-shift design

arch Networks® has introduced the MegaPX ATM camera. The MegaPX ATM camera is the industry’s first self-contained, covert IP camera with High Dynamic Range (HDR) image clarity. Purpose-built for easy installation in leading automated teller machines (ATMs), the camera captures highly-detailed video in all lighting conditions, enabling banking investigators and law enforcement to clearly identify faces and other distinguishing features. It is ONVIF Profile S compliant and can be deployed seamlessly to provide the high-quality ATM video evidence many financial institutions are seeking, to fill a gap in their complete banking surveillance solution. “With ATM card data theft at the highest rate seen in two decades in the United States alone, banking organizations are relying more heavily than ever on IP video technologies that can provide clear video evidence to accelerate investigations,” said Net Payne,

Chief Marketing Officer, March Networks, “This new camera offers financial institutions a way to capture better video at ATMs and advances an area of the banking surveillance ecosystem which, until now, has not kept pace with technology improvements.” The MegaPX ATM camera combines HDR and exceptional low-light performance to capture clear video in high-contrast lighting, such as the direct sunlight and near-dark conditions ATM vestibules and drive-thrus experience at different times of the day. Available with a 2.8mm standard lens or 3.7mm pinhole lens, the camera’s wide field-of-view records ATM users from the waist up rather than just capturing faces to provide more comprehensive video evidence. In addition, an innovative feature auto-corrects images recorded behind the tinted glass enclosures present in many ATMs. Distinct from other covert cameras with separate sensor units, the MegOctober 2015

aPX ATM camera combines all components in a single housing measuring just 2.2x2.3x2.7 inches (5.6x5.8x7 cm). This unique, self-contained design speeds installation and eliminates typical cable wear and tear. To prevent the camera from shifting – a common issue caused by ATM doors being slammed during the daily cash vaulting process – the MegaPX ATM camera offers a choice of two mounting brackets that lock firmly into place. The robust locking mechanism ensures that the camera’s desired field of view is maintained and that images are not cut off or lost altogether. The feature also saves financial institutions and their systems integrators valuable time and expense by eliminating continual service calls for onsite camera adjustments. Making service calls even faster and more convenient, each MegaPX ATM camera comes with a unique QR code that technicians can scan

Honeywell Digital Video Manager Helps Improve Operator Efficiency and Mitigate Business Risk Latest release of smart surveillance software helps boost reliability and enhance operator efficiency with mobile and voice control

oneywell has announced enhancements to Honeywell Digital Video Manager (DVM). The latest release, DVM R600, will enable organizations to more efficiently manage their security system with enhanced mobile capabilities and voice command, and mitigate business risk via support for current IT platforms. Major updates to DVM include enhanced system access and usability, which are designed to improve operator efficiency and reaction time. Security personnel now can access high-definition, full-frame-rate video on a mobile device, for example, enabling continuous monitoring (recording/ playback) from almost any location. Operators can also control DVM using voice commands to more easily manage multiple video feeds and request near-real-time system updates. “Every second is important to an organization when an incident occurs and security staff must take immediate action if there is a threat,” said John Rajchert, President of Honeywell Building Solutions, “The latest update to DVM helps operators quickly identify and react to an issue to help mitigate the impact to safety and business continuity – no matter if they are in front of a central

workstation or on the opposite side of a campus, connected with a smartphone.” Along with an improved user experience, DVM R600 promotes IT integration and compliance with support for current Microsoft operating systems and databases, including Windows Server 2012, Windows 8.1, Internet Explorer 11 and SQL Server 2014. (Windows Server 2003 is not recommended because security systems running on the platform could be vulnerable to breaches since it’s no longer supported by Microsoft, as reported, and will not receive further updates.) In addition, DVM R600 allows customers to deploy and intelligently group multiple backup servers to boost system robustness, which helps protect surveillance systems from failures. Other DVM upgrades focus on: Extensible platform speeding data collection: Security operators can export footage from multiple camera feeds in unison to streamline incident response and workflow, and quickly collect and archive forensic data in the event of an incident. Dynamic adapter installation, video analytics, edge storage, camera feature support, device capability discovery and video wall integration provide higher flexibility to October 2015

customers to add new custom features. Reducing storage requirements: Dynamic recording leads to reduction in cost up to 40% by enabling the system to capture critical video under higher frame rates, while collecting less important footage at lower frame rates, trimming storage requirements, reducing network bandwidth requirement and allowing edge recording playback from NVRs and DVRs. It is easy to engineer and leverages the full capability of video encoding devices that support multiple streams. “Our surveillance system has always been robust, utilizing hundreds of cameras throughout both our facilities to promote visitor safety and security,” said Tom Owen, Operations Manager for Brookfield Global Integrated Solutions, which manages the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre in Australia, “However, the IT infrastructure required large storage capacity and as many as 15 standalone PC servers.

Cold Disc Technology Introducing high performance, high reliability Video and Audio recording with unlimited storage, and greatly reduced power requirements

Introduction

he Xtralis CDT (patent pending) system architecture is a design to guarantee optimal operation of high volume storage and archiving for video/ audio streams originated by different data sources. The architecture is specially suited to environments where sequential writing operations surpass large reading requests.

V3500 system architecture

he Xtralis V3500 system is a recording system based on CDT consisting of a number of parallel storage channels connected to the network via a dual Ethernet connection. The collection of channels form a storage cluster which handles the pulling of the connected devices using an individual data stream. The clustering software con-

trols an auto loadbalancing over the different channels in order to equalise performance over the channels. The dual channel Ethernet port connection permits the system architecture a simultaneous connection to two network switches reducing risk of network switch failure. In the example above the 4 channels each consisting in a network connected server unit with two storage boxes are in mutual communication and operating as a cluster. The second example shows the same cluster connected to the network showing the individual load distribution. Storage boxes are interfaced over a SAS bus to the server in a daisy chain connection. Each of the storage boxes are JBOD type boxes allowing the server full individual control to each disc. By considerOctober 2015

ing each individual disc as an autonomous storage device the disc becomes an exclusive storage unit. This allows each disc to be removed and replaced by another formatted disc. To ensure data integrity and the highest possible security, Xtralis encrypt all data on the disc. The data encryption allows disc reading in any V3500 storage box protected by an encryption key. To prepare a disc for storage a proprietary formatting process has to be performed. This formatting allows writing of data streams to the disk in a highly secure mode and keeping individual track of origin data and life time.

T clusive write operation this minimizes the need for hard disc head movement. This optimizes throughput as it allows writing to one or several discs simultaneously. When a hard disc reaches almost full status, another disc with available space will be started to spin up under command from the management system in the server. When the disc is full, it will get a spin down instruction. Spin-up/ spin-down of the hard discs prevents premature mechanical failure, reduces electric power and air cooling consumption. This also makes the disc cartridge easily swappable and provides for a high volume archiving with larger capacity than any other existing medium. The V3500 can work as a single or dual channel system and since the hard discs of the recorder are hot swappable it is ideal for use in environments where even petabytes of storage are required. CDT can provide up to a 10 times increase in MTBF reliability and a massive reduction in power requirement.

Archiving

he archiving system is an integrated part of the Xtralis management platform. The archiving software stores in itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s database all starts/ stops of recording streams on a V3500 disc making the link between time, camera and disc a unique id. The disc unique id is generated in the formatting process and by optionally attaching as a label or RFID tag to the physical disc cartridge.

The system provides the operator with a search facility and will either offer the stream live on screen or they will be informed on which disc(s) the images can be found by referring to the unique id of the hard disc cartridge. Reading archived discs is possible using an access-key to decrypt the disc, providing that any defined storage lifetime rules to read the corresponding stream have not expired. One of the largest benefits in using the V3500 method of storage is that the recorder has only one stream of data coming from the network and recorded on to the discs. Alternative methods of external archiving require a reverse large stream of data going out of the recorder towards the archiving medium. This last stream will conflict or reduce the normal network bandwidth and demand additional hardware to archive.

Duplicated recording

V3500 cluster is able to split camera streams over two separate channels providing redundant recording with the highest reliability that can be obtained avoiding any single point of failure. In the unlikely event of a disc failing whilst writing is being performed, the redundant disc in the other channel of the cluster continues storing the same video stream. The video review screen will report dual storage and ask the user to select between recoded images. Therefore failure of a recorded image can be retrieved on the second storage disc. October 2015

he V3500 server and storage system is able to store video streams coded in MJPEG, MPEG4 and H.264 from different sources simultaneously. Since advanced video coding (MPEG4, H.264) reduces storage volumes by a factor of more than 4 and 7 respectively, it is essential that the best possible recording rates and quality continue over the full recording period. Modern cameras allow multi-stream compatibility which allows storage from the same camera in high frame rate with low resolution to combine with a simultaneous stream of high resolution images in a lower frame rate. In the former example one stream can be used for short time storage when the other stream stores a longer time and is used for archiving.

V3500 hardware

n most cases the V3500 would be provided as a complete hardware and software solution. However OEM opportunities exist for creation of a storage channel with specific servers and a JBOD type storage box. The individual handling of each disc as a storage medium makes for unrivalled versatility in the choice of discs. An installation can be operating with discs of different capacity in the same box and even with different technology as long as the storage box manufacturer can accept them.

V3500 health monitoring

he V3500 software monitors activity, fault detection and performance per channel making the need to install SNMP unnecessary. The V3500 controls and reports alarm conditions to the control centre and disc failures are reported without delay.

CDT compared to RAID technology

AID disc technology is the most commonly used storage architecture for hard disc arrays. RAID systems give a good performance where reading access in a random way is prominent, however video and audio recording are almost exclusively a writing operation.

A major disadvantage of RAID configurations is the risk of data loss or in loss of throughput during an error reestablishing operation or on multiple failures of hard discs when the disc lifetime is nearing the MTBF (failure) period of the discs. The CDT technology optimizes disk writing by sequential writing to one or several disks, keeping each

individual video stream to each individual disk. This operation maximizes the system throughput as well as optimizing the disc lifetime and power consumption. Even in large systems often only a few of the discs are in operation at the same time which dramatically increases the lifetime of the discs by up to x10 compared to RAID storage.

Try Your Surveillance Video By Dan Cremins – March Networks Director, Product Management

f your business has used security cameras for a number of years, you’ve probably seen several evolutions in video surveillance technology. Some of the more recent include: the introduction of HD, multi-megapixel and 360 cameras; mobile access to video using smartphones and tablets; and, of course, the appearance of intelligent software solutions that combine video and other data to address security and non-security related applications.

Non-security applications – sometimes referred to as video-based business intelligence – are opening up amazing new possibilities for organizations to better understand how to improve their overall business. By using different combinations of video analytics and transactional data together in unique ways, they enable a range of applications that extend far beyond just security. Organizations can now analyze performance trends, calculate conOctober 2015

version rates and even improve marketing – all by using their existing video surveillance technology. Of course, loss prevention and fraud detection continue to also be key benefits of these systems, making them incredibly compelling total solutions. They can help you maximize the investments you’ve already made in video surveillance by providing distinct advantages to other facets of your business. To help you understand more, here’s

can provide equally useful data, allowing retailers and financial institutions to adjust staffing schedules to reduce customer wait times. Unusually long wait times can also reveal possible training issues, which can be remedied quickly to improve customer service.

three ways your retail or banking organization can improve your performance and profitability by integrating your video with your transaction data and analytics:

Faster loss/ fraud detection and investigations

any retailers, banks and credit unions are already using video-based software applications to combine their surveillance video with recorded audio and transaction data. This integration enables faster loss detection and investigation capabilities by enabling users to search on exceptions based on transaction type or amount and click through to the associated video to further review suspicious events. But what if the software could do its own investigation and present a listing of suspicious activity directly to investigators, so they didn’t have to search? This kind of capability is possible by integrating analytics with transaction data and surveillance video in certain scenarios. For example, by integrating a presence detection analytic with ATM transaction data, and comparing the information together, a software solution can identify when someone is standing at an ATM for a set time period without conducting a transaction. This could be indicative of an ATM skimmer installation. In a retail environment, this same kind of software can identify other suspicious activity, such as when transactions are taking place but no customer is present in front of the point-of-sale (POS). This could be a sign of employee theft or sweethearting, where employees give away unauthorized discounts or

merchandise to friends or family. Different types of video analytics can also identify when someone is standing in front of a high-value merchandise display for an unusually long period, which again may indicate potential shoplifting.

Better customer service

hese same solutions can help financial institutions and retailers improve customer service, optimize staffing and identify where more training is needed. Above, we discussed using video analytics to identify potential shoplifting, but someone standing in front of a display for an extended period of time could also be a customer waiting for assistance. Video can help reveal gaps in customer service so they can be corrected. It can also help banks and retailers understand more about their customers’ interests. A people counting analytic married to POS data in an easy-to-use reporting dashboard allows retailers to calculate conversion rates to determine how many shoppers become buyers. By running site-by-site comparisons of this data, organizations can determine which locations are over and underperforming A queue length monitoring analytic

Increased marketing and promotional success

arketing probably isn’t a group you think could benefit from surveillance video; however that perspective is changing thanks to integrated analytics and software reporting tools. Using dwell time analytics to determine when a person is standing in an area for a set amount of time, marketers can determine customer interest level in new merchandising or in high-cost end caps and displays. Further information can be gleaned by comparing people counting data to determine what percentage of people that entered a building paused to look at an area of interest. If a display doesn’t seem to be succeeding in a few locations, or is exceeding expectations in others, they can quickly review the video to check how it’s been set up or positioned.

More than just security

emember, video surveillance – when combined in the right way with other data like transactions and analytics – can offer a lot more than just core security. Loss and fraud prevention are key benefits, but customer service, operations and marketing can all be improved as well with the right kind of intelligent solution.

Counter-UAV System from Airbus Protects Large Installations and Events from Illicit Intrusion Sensor Data Fusion offers countermeasures against small drones

irbus Defence and Space has developed a Counter-UAV System which detects illicit intrusions of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) over critical areas at long ranges and offers electronic countermeasures minimizing the risk of collateral damage. “All over the world, incidents with universally available small drones have revealed a security gap with regards to critical installations such as military barracks, airports or nuclear plants,” says Thomas Müller, head of the Electronics business line at Airbus Defence and Space, “As a specialist in defence electronics, we have all the technologies in our portfolio and the integration knowledge which are needed to set up a quick-response protection system with

extremely low false alarm rates.” The system offers very high effectiveness by combining sensor data from different sources with latest data fusion, signal analysis and jamming technologies. It uses operational radars, infrared cameras and direction finders from Airbus Defence and Space’s portfolio to identify the drone and assess its threat potential at ranges between 5 and 10 kilometers. Based on an extensive threat library and realtime analysis of control signals a jammer then interrupts the link between drone and pilot and/ or its navigation. Furthermore, the direction finder tracks the position of the pilot who subsequently can be arrested. Due to the Smart Responsive Jamming TechnolOctober 2015

ogy developed by Airbus Defence and Space, the jamming signals are blocking only the relevant frequencies used to operate the drone while other frequencies in the vicinity remain operational. Since the jamming technology contains versatile receiving and transmitting capabilities, more sophisticated measures like remote control classification and GPS spoofing can be utilized as well. This allows effective and specific jamming and also a controlled takeover of the UAV. The Counter-UAV System has been tested extensively at Airbus Defence and Space’s own premises and during customer presentations in Germany and France. Depending on the required configuration, an operational system would be available from mid-2016.

major player in the world of video surveillance, driving the security industry’s move into the digital era and redefining industry expectations about what a video surveillance system can be – and do. When co-founders John Blem and Henrik Friborg Jacobsen established the business, they saw an opportunity: for software that could monitor, record, and retrieve video images in digital format. This was a paradigm shift from the analog world of CCTV. Lars Thinggaard came on board in 2003 as Milestone’s President and CEO, bringing with him an experienced entrepreneurial background and distinct spirit of open-style Scandinavian leadership which has guided the company to the top of its market. This book is Lars’ story, and the story of Milestone. ‘Business Magnetism’ is about uniting a fragmented industry around a unique vision. It’s about the leadership required to bring together a multinational business ecosystem, and the courage needed to adapt and change in the face of turbulent global economies. It is about looking to the future, learning from the past, and being open to new ideas. This book is the story of a small, ambitious business flourishing at the start of the 21st century through leadership, openness, and partnership.

“The way Lars tells the Milestone story is a valuable guide for entrepreneurs and everyone connected with business start-ups. Anybody contemplating venture capital should read this book first,” says Giuseppe Zocco, Co-founder and Partner of Index Ventures, Switzerland. “It has been a privilege to witness Lars’ unique and highly effective management style. In this book he shares some of his secrets and it has become obligatory reading for all the entrepreneurs I am working with!” says Tony Zappala, Highland Capital Partners Europe. “I appreciated reading this great book and Lars Thinggaard’s insightful views on IP video, partnership and how to build a business ecosystem. Open platforms are certainly in the Milestone Systems DNA and something I really believe in. This book describes how the industry has benefited from the open approach,” states Martin Gren, Founder, Director New Projects, Axis Communications. “This book demonstrates how unlimited imagination can lead to a big change in the physical security industry.

Lars and the co-founders’ insights drove a unique vision for the future that was not achieved by others. You will be amazed at how they bring the players together to grow a successful business with the ecosystem,” says Cheolkyo Kim, CEO of Samsung Techwin. “The highlight of the book is the leadership compass, defining measurable behaviors. I’m not sure I have seen anyone else that has done this to the same extent. I will use this at our next leadership meeting,” says Phil Aronson, CEO and President of ASG (Aronson Security Group, Inc.). During Lars Thinggaard’s first decade as CEO, Milestone Systems’ revenue increased more than ten-fold. Today, Milestone is a global leader in the video management software industry, acquired by the Fortune 500 concern Canon in June of 2014. He states, “My career has been dedicated to the importance of leadership, and I am always looking for refreshing and novel approaches. ‘Business Magnetism’ describes the drive and flexibility needed to lead a company that is innovative and independent.”

ULIS Targets Outdoor Leisure Market with Pico384 Gen2

Growing consumer interest in nature observation raises demand for night vision sensors better designed for the higher speed production of thermal cameras

LIS, a leading manufacturer of thermal image sensors for commercial and military applications has launched Pico384 Gen2, one of the first thermal image sensor designed in accordance with JEDEC standards for Surface Mount Technology (SMT) assembly. This means that ULIS’ sensors are more compatible with standard industrial integration and handling processes for high volume production, such as robotic pick and place and oven reflow. As a Surface Mount Device (SMD), Pico384 Gen2 enables thermal camera makers to further automate their assembly lines, lower the cost of integration and thereby boost production. The need to produce higher volumes of Personal Vision Systems (PVS) stems from a growing demand for thermal imaging equipment used for outdoor leisure activities. The demand is up by 24% per year, until 2020 (Uncooled Infrared Imaging Technology & Market Trends report, Yole Développe-

ment, June 2015). Pico384 Gen2 is suitable for outdoor leisure applications such as nature observation, wildlife watching, tracking game, camping and hiking. With QVGA resolution (384x288 pixels) and exceptional image quality, users of thermal equipment designed with Pico384 Gen2 will be able to observe animals in complete darkness from a distance of several hundred meters. “Pico384 Gen2 with Surface Mount Technology capabilities has overcome one of the camera industry’s major hurdles in producing thermal imaging equipment in high volume,” said Sebastien Tinnes, Senior Product Manager at ULIS, “Since it also uses standard fully digital interfaces and an ambient temperature calibration process, camera makers have fewer integration steps to manage. This means they can develop thermal equipment within reduced timeframes, thus speed their time to market. We anticipate a positive response to Pico384 Gen2 from the October 2015

outdoor leisure market. We also believe that this new product will help pave the way towards lowering the cost of thermal cameras, opening up new applications in other professional and leisure markets.” Pico384 Gen2 offers low power consumption (<220mW with integrated ADC and DACs) for improved battery life. This makes the Pico384 Gen2 attractive for other portable applications like thermography, firefighting and surveillance. ULIS says customers will benefit from the simplicity and cost-efficiency this brings, both of which are necessary to increase the production of thermal image cameras from tens of thousands to several hundreds of thousands of units per year. ULIS’ Pico384 Gen2 will be displayed at the China International Optoelectronic Expo (CIOE) in Shenzhen (China), one of the largest shows of its kind in the world and celebrating its 17th year.

al security projects. Ideal for critical infrastructures such as nuclear plants, solar and wind farms, prisons, dams or power stations, the Spynel-M is a high-resolution infrared panoramic thermal imaging camera weighing only 4 lbs and standing at less than 8 inches. The system continuously captures full panoramic, high-definition images every second but can also perform sector scanning at a higher rate bringing real-time security against conventional and asymmetric threats. Due to its very low power consumption of only 8 watts, the system can also work with solar or alternate power supply systems for a

remote operation. With the automated advanced threat detection Cyclope software, which has been perfected over the course of the last decade, any ground, air or maritime threat is instantly detected and tracked, for an unlimited number of intrusions. The system can be used as a stand-alone option or coupled with other systems already in place for an enhanced security plan. ASIS 2015 marks the second time HGH Infrared Systems inc., headquartered in the US in Boston, has launched one of their unique Spynel systems at one of the world’s most influential security conference and tradeshow. It was in 2013 that HGH Infrared Systems launched their first uncooled version at ASIS, the Spynel-U.

o support global expansion, Evolving Systems wanted to reduce reliance on manned guarding at local sites, standardise disparate access control and security systems, and deliver a scalable solution to support future growth.

Following detailed risk studies and feasibility trials, ISD Tech designed and de-

livered a Brivo Systems’ cloud-based solution to give Evolving Systems centralised control of its access and security functions. The ability to integrate access control with live viewing, recording and assessment of video streams was precisely the kind of future-proofing stipulated in the brief. The ISD Tech solution has given Evolving Systems user-friendly centralised control via a desktop or mobile Internet browser making it easy to set schedules and view live graphic reports. With dramatically improved situation awareness of events across its global estate, the Evolving Systems team can immediately respond to actual or perceived threats based on the most accurate, up-to-date information. Exploiting the system’s powerful intelligence and remote monitoring capacity while reducing manpower costs has produced major savings with no fall-off in security and safety levels. Additional benefits include scope to use real-time access control reports for fire mustering. Other departments such as human resources can operate more efficiently by exchanging data with the new control software without the need for additional re-keying.
