Paxton Technology Centre November 2017 saw Paxton open the doors to its new state-of-the-art centre for technology and innovation, alongside its current UK head office in Brighton. The 29,000-sq. ft. Paxton Technology Centre is now home to the company’s product Research and Development departments.

The building was designed to create a dynamic and collaborative working environment and the open plan working space creates the perfect setting to support hundreds of decisions being made every day, to progress the company towards further global expansion and the diversification of its extensive product range.

It includes a new training suite which hosts the company’s free, installer training sessions. Last year Paxton trained over 7000 installers across the globe on its range of security systems and the company has an ambitious target to increase this number in 2018.

Scholarship Shortly after the opening of the technology centre, the company announced the launch of its scholarship programme.

This long-term initiative is designed to ensure that Paxton can secure the brightminds needed for its continued success and prosperity. It offered the opportunity for students studying engineering and product design related courses at the University of Brighton to win one of three scholarship places each worth £10,000 plus a 3-month paid work placement with the company starting July 2018.

From those that applied, 16 students were invited to an assessment day, where they undertook a series of practical tasks and interviews. Following this, the successful three students were then selected.

Paxton hope the Scholarship will mean more than financial help for the students involved. It will provide industry experience, without having to take a year out from studying, which is invaluable to the students. It will also highlight the diverse range of roles available within the security industry and the opportunities offered within a growing and exciting business sector.

Sunday Times 100 Best Companies 2018 started on a high with Paxton named as one of the UK’s top employers with its 49th placed ranking in The Sunday Times 100 Best Companies to Work for list. The annual survey run by the ‘Best Companies’ organisation, recognises organisations and managers who genuinely value and respect their employees. The company was the only security manufacturer that made it onto the prestigious list.

IFSEC 2018 To learn more about Paxton, visit stand D410 at IFSEC, to discover the company’s full range of access control and innovative security solutions, including the awardwinning, IP ready door entry system, Net2 Entry and the latest addition to the range, the Premium monitor.

Paxton’s team of industry experts will be at the show to offer advice and information about products and training, plus there will be demonstration points including product displays, providing an insight into the company’s diverse range of security solutions.

Attendees will also be able to enter a prize draw with the chance of winning a Bose SoundLink Mini Bluetooth speaker, RRP £169.95 by taking part in a short survey. n For more information please visit: http://paxton.info/3355

Other specialist features include a 3-axis accelerometer that detects emergency stops and starts, integrated power supply and isolated power block that protects internal circuitry to ensure that data is not lost during loss of power or an overvoltage event.

Giving users maximum operational choice the mobile NVRs also come with the option of the feature rich IDIS Center video management software (VMS) – a free, powerful, customisable management system that supports up to 1024 devices - or the enterprise-level IDIS Solution Suite, which offers a modular design, cost-effective license structure and zero software maintenance agreements.

Totally cost-free IDIS Center VMS features include map monitoring, which displays vehicle status information (position, speed, etc.) and allows recorded video to be viewed with a single click; system health monitoring; accelerated configuration; power management and dual stream recording.

Maxxess now offers life-saving safety as well as security management with the affordable and modular eFusion platform

SEE US ON STAND D130 Security controllers can now provide life-saving safety monitoring and communications on their sites, thanks to integration of the Maxxess eFusion security management platform with Ambit, the company’s cloud-based safety and security offering that includes a smartphone app.

The first-of-a-kind and off-the-shelf integration gives a practical route to adding personalised safety capability to security control rooms – giving significantly enhanced operational value - without the expense and complexity of a PSIM solution or custom integration.

Ambit allows security controllers to communicate directly with both individuals and groups and to monitor the safety of everyone on site (or on multiple sites), for example employees, residents, visitors, or contractors.

The life-saving technology comes with a choice of applications tailored to the user’s needs. For example, it can allow lone-worker monitoring; courtesy communications and remote escorting afterhours; panic alarm features; user-activated IPS location tracking right down to floor and room level; and individualised messaging during incidents. It can help security teams co-ordinate and work more effectively with emergency responders too.

Now, with Ambit integrated into the eFusion platform, operators can see exactly where individuals are during any emergency situation and as a result provide a more rapid, controlled response.

In other applications, the ability to monitor contractors on multiple sites – for example, to verify that teams of workers being paid for are all present when they are supposed to be – is a valuable new capability that will help to control costs.

“This type of safety monitoring and individualised communications capability has not been easily available to security teams until now,” says Lee Copland, Managing Director, Maxxess EMEA. “It was either too expensive, too complex or too burdensome too maintain. By contrast eFusion, now with Ambit, gives an affordable, simple and future-flexible upgrade path.”

12

June 2018 IN SECURITY

The integration with Ambit is just the latest example of how the eFusion platform gives users the freedom to integrate, customise and adapt their security systems to meet both current needs and emerging risks. Open technology software supports more than 50 off-the-shelf integrations from leading vendors, providing complete freedom to customise solutions combining surveillance, access control, fire and intruder systems with back-office processes.

Crucially, integration with Maxxess eFusion also reduces complexity for installers and their customers and offers unlimited future scalability at affordable price points.

Meanwhile, harnessing advances in cloud computing and mobile communications, MAXXESS’s Visitor Point management and access solution will also be on show at IFSEC. Visitor Point, which is being used at premises from hotels and campuses to corporate HQs, allows the whole process of visitor management to be streamlined in a way never previously possible.

It lets phones be used as an access credential, making it a perfect alternative to guest keys in the hospitality sector. Compatibility of the Visitor Point system with ASSA Abloy Hospitality products, has proved to be particularly popular with hotels.

Visitor Point is available as a stand-alone solution or it can be integrated with the MAXXESS software family, making it easy for reception teams to keep across who is visiting their premises.

Delivering efficiency savings, it also allows unmanned reception areas to be introduced without compromising security. Users can easily view pre-registered visitors in advance; manage and sign-in large groups in seconds; manage visitor car parking; and automate notifications and messaging. n For further information, please visit www.maxxess-systems.com.

PRODUCT & INDUSTRY NEWS

FLIR introduces Saros, FLIR’s next-generation outdoor perimeter security camera line for commercial businesses

FLIR Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: FLIR) has announced the Saros™ line of security cameras, its next-generation outdoor security product line that combines multiple traditional perimeter protection technologies into a unified solution. This approach is designed to deliver accurate, actionable alerts and verified alarm data.

The FLIR Saros camera line enables commercial businesses to implement state-of-the-art outdoor intrusion detection in a cost-effective manner. Traditional perimeter security systems can require substantial investment, both in infrastructure and in ongoing expenses stemming from false alarms. FLIR Saros not only greatly reduces the cost of initial deployment by minimizing the amount of equipment required, but also reduces false positives with built-in advanced analytics, expanding the outdoor perimeter protection market for security alarm monitoring companies.

A single FLIR Saros unit combines numerous security technologies, including: • Multiple FLIR Lepton® thermal sensors – Provides the ability to deliver wide-area monitoring regardless of unfavorable lighting or weather conditions • High-definition optical cameras – Option of 1080p or 4K resolution to realize accurate visual identification of intruders • IR and visible LED illuminators – Ability to deter intruders with white light illumination

14

June 2018 IN SECURITY

• Advanced onboard analytics – Accurate target detection and classification, to help reduce false alarms • 2-way audio and digital input/outputs – Enables real-time audio response.

The FLIR Saros platform was designed and engineered with today’s cybersecurity risks in mind, with end-to-end encryption for setup, web, and video streams, and configuration lockdown after initial setup for increased tamper prevention. FLIR Saros also eliminates the need for port-forwarding, so devices are less exposed to remote security attacks.

“FLIR Saros, equipped with multiple FLIR Leptons, represents a new security paradigm for wide-area commercial locations that face the threat of loss,” said James Cannon, President and CEO of FLIR. “FLIR Saros products open new business opportunities for both central monitoring stations and security integrators looking to distinguish themselves in the industry.

The Saros family is an important addition to FLIR’s security portfolio and supports our goal of innovating technologies that increase perception and awareness to support professionals in decision-making that saves lives and livelihoods.”

Initial FLIR Saros models – in both dome and multi-imager form factors – will begin shipping in North America and Europe in the third quarter of 2018 through FLIR’s established network of dealers and integrators. n For more information, please visit www.flir.eu/saros (Europe)

License plate capture, innovating security where you need it most To provide a practical solution to the monitoring of transportation infrastructure, where maximum situational awareness is paramount, Bosch Security and Safety Systems have combined the innovation behind their video security cameras with the video management expertise of Intelligent Security Systems (ISS).

Transportation security provides surveillance challenges in varying degrees of situation and scale, so effective license plate recognition is crucial. From tunnels and bridges where a situation can change in seconds, to regulating traffic flow into a city and capturing a profile of each vehicle, Bosch and ISS can provide answers to the questions that matter. Has a particular vehicle been permitted access to a specific area? Has that vehicle been stolen? What’s the insurance or toll subscription status? Has that vehicle been authorized to operate as a taxi?

The capabilities even stretch to large-scale entry and exit points such as ports, borders and airport car parks.

Monitoring which vehicles are entering an area, and checking their legitimacy to be there, has never been more critical.

Having the capability to capture license plates of every vehicle moving in the designated area give users complete awareness of traffic flows and usage patterns, allowing them to configure and manage their monitoring preferences efficiently and permit secure data exchanges with other operational management systems and services for efficient infrastructure alignment.

The ISS certified Bosch cameras responsible for capturing this data are incredibly robust and built to produce usable images 24/7 in the harshest conditions, including after dark by employing a supplementary infrared light. The selected cameras have a special License Plate Recognition (LPR) mode which is developed in collaboration with ISS to deliver accurate information even when faced with the challenges of glaring

headlights and fast-moving vehicles.

High standards are applied to the quality of the images captured. By incorporating the SecurOS™ AUTO License Plate Recognition (LPR/ANPR) solution Bosch and ISS can provide several unique benefits for users, including the ability to accurately capture license plate information at 130 mph (210 km/h) in all kinds of weather conditions, including light fog, rain, and snow. Furthermore, utilizing advanced algorithms results in a level of accuracy that can distinguish letters from numbers (so an “8” is not mistaken for a “B,” for example) which is a crucial advantage, particularly in emergency situations.

The partnership with ISS supports Bosch’s belief that the logical next-step for security is to enable customers to repurpose the vast amounts of video data that they now can capture.

Interpreting video data directly at source helps to improve levels of security substantially and can also offer clear business advantages. Together we think, monitoring transportation infrastructure just got a lot more interesting. n

The RX series of OSDP Secure card readers For many years the Access Control and Security Industry concentrated on the security of the data exchange between the access control credential (card) and the reader.

Early systems were quickly compromised when cards were cloned and security was breached. Encrypting the data between the card and reader provided a more secure interface but there was still a weak link in the system. Having encrypted the card to reader data, this data was then passed to the access control system using industry standard Wiegand protocol.

Basically, an unencrypted signal that is easily intercepted and copied.

Our RX series OSDP Secure readers offer complete End to End security. This provides absolute certainty that the access control system is protected from start to finish by providing secure encryption of the data from the card right the way through to the host controller. This prevents unencrypted data being intercepted at any point in the system.

The RX series advanced access control readers have a clean and sleek style of design and are ideal for surface mounting directly

to most plain wall finishes. They also fit directly onto a UK, EU or North American electrical backbox. This powerfully secure and innovative reader has a beautifully clean aesthetic and features an RGB LED that can be applied to many applications, e.g., colour access levels, migration status or mood lighting. n

Key centric access management provides the highest possible levels of security The challenge of securing public buildings, which are particularly vulnerable to terrorism, vandalism or slack utilisation and where access is required by a variety of people, has never been greater than it is today.

Businesses need their property, assets, staff, service providers and customers to operate in a safe and secure environment, backed up by a robust and traceable access control solution.

The next generation of security devices must therefore reach ever-higher standards of system intelligence, flexibility and security, while also delivering value for money.

Nick Dooley, managing director of LOCKEN UK, a leading developer of unique key-centric access control solutions, explains the importance of having software at the heart of the solution, in order to provide the highest possible levels of security and efficiency.

The solution Based on unique technology, key-centric access management is built with the user in mind, it is based around three elements, a smart key, electronic cylinders and a unique software suite, providing robust and traceable access control.

Each smart key is unique, impossible to duplicate and reprogrammable, enabling it to open one or all access points and in the event of loss or theft it can quickly be disabled.

An electronic access control solution holds authorisation information for any number of sites, including approval based on time, date and location.

The most surprising thing about this solution is that no cables are needed, giving it unrivalled reliability. The lock (also known as the cylinder) does not require electrical power or batteries, much less a connection to send information, which means that it can be installed on any door as you would a mechanical

lock without maintenance requirements. The secret is in the key, with permissions stored within it. If you have authorisation for that lock, it will open. If you don’t, you won’t be allowed to enter and all of the activity carried out by the key will be recorded.

Why is traceability important?

With high volumes of people entering and exiting different areas of a public building, it is important to be able to trace who has been where, when and for how long. Advanced software suites can provide access to all operations performed by users, including a complete audit trail. This information is often used by business owners or managers for audits, improvements or compliance.

How does it work?

Security managers can update permissions from a computer or, even more conveniently, using an app on a mobile phone at the time of access, which will update a key’s permissions via Bluetooth. This delivers increased flexibility and higher levels of security.

Access rights can be set at any time and on any day, and can allow access on just one specific occasion. The rules for granting permissions are infinite and easily customisable, and the system is very efficient when they are applied; as a result, the system is highly flexible and adapted to suit any number of different business models and infrastructures, not just public spaces.

What makes this solution really smart, is what’s behind all of this, the software that manages access. It can be used from a powerful, but simple web-based access manager or through personalised software that is integrated within a company’s existing software solution, to automatically include information. In some businesses, the access management system will help to further improve service levels by integrating it with the customer information system, allowing to link it for instance with alarm or intrusion managers.

This solution secures over one million access points worldwide and we take great pride in offering a robust and reliable access control solution to industries that are vulnerable to risks. n For further information please visit www.locken.co.uk

GJD launches IPAnything Module GJD, an award winning manufacturer and designer of smart electronic perimeter detection and high performance LED illumination equipment, is pleased to announce the launch of its IPAnything module (IPA). The IPAnything is a simple yet powerful input/output controller, which is designed to convert any type of analogue sensor to an IP system, or vice versa.

The IPAnything is built in a compact, heavy duty waterproof housing. It is fitted with a 12V/24V DC socket to power the sensor, four alarm inputs, three relay outputs and an analogue input, this ensures that the IPAnything can truly handle all types of equipment.

The IPAnything allows the installer to create individual network alarms to connect video management systems (VMS), IP cameras or other network devices.

It also enables the installer to monitor and control alarm sensors, sirens, gates and lights.

In addition, its web based user interface is an intuitive way for installers to configure network alarms for integration with VMS software, or direct control of cameras.

The IPAnything provides flexibility as it is easy for installers to add IP devices onto an analogue based security or home automation system. This has many advantages including a cost effective way to future proof the site as new actions can be created and adjusted over the network. It is also simple to add additional IP products onto the network.

Greg Stuttle, Business Development Manager at GJD commented: “The IPAnything is an extremely useful device. It has proved itself to be a very versatile product as it is a problem solver for projects that require analogue equipment to be converted on to an IP system”.

Another huge benefit of the IPA is that it is powered by PoE, which is more cost effective and environmentally friendly than connecting to mains power. PoE provides advantages such as reduced overhead costs from the reduction of power outlets required per installed device.

Another key benefit is reduced cabling on site, this makes the installation look neater.

Key Features • IP and analogue signal converter • Web based user interface • Integrate alarms with VMS or control cameras directly • 12/24V DC output for powering external units • PoE • Network controlled relay outputs • Convert 4 relay inputs to IP or IP to 3 relay outputs • Heavy duty water proof housing n

TRANSPORT SECURITY 20

Full steam ahead Latest video surveillance technology keeping passengers safe

June 2018 IN SECURITY

T

he Client Transport for West Midlands is part of the West Midlands Combined Authority (WMCA) and was set up to co-ordinate investment to improve the region’s transport infrastructure and create a fully integrated, safe and secure network.

It is also responsible for assessing and planning the region’s future transport needs so the network can meet the demands of businesses and a growing population.

The Project Transport for West Midlands decided to invest in a new video surveillance system which would play an important role in helping ensure the safe and reliable delivery of public transport across the West Midlands.

Camera Selection Transport for West Midlands evaluated cameras available from nine different manufacturers. The subsequent decision to source all the cameras from Hanwha Techwin, (previously known as Samsung Techwin), was partly due to the price/ performance ratio of its cameras, but there were two other important factors which were taken into consideration.

Firstly, Hanwha Techwin has a close working relationship with its technology partner, Veracity. This meant TIS could be assured that there would be seamless integration between Wisenet cameras and the Veracity Coldstore ‘direct to storage’ solution. This negates the need for Network Video Recorders (NVRs) and thereby substantially reduces capital costs, as well as minimising setup and maintenance requirements.

The Veracity Coldstore recording solution is unique in the linear way that data is written to the hard drives.

Only two hard drives are spinning at any one time, meaning a significant reduction in power consumption, lower heat generation and greater

A large percentage of the cameras installed are Wisenet SNP-6320H 2 Megapixel Full HD network PTZ dome cameras. In addition to being a true Day/Night camera which is able to capture high quality images in low light, the SNP-6320H’s powerful 32x zoom capability enables operators to observe the close-up detail of any activity. longevity of the hard drives reducing the overall cost of ownership. When drive failures do occur, the faulty drive can be swapped with a new drive allowing uninterrupted use.

The second important factor was the capability of the Wisenet open platform cameras to accommodate a variety of edge-based analytics such as ANPR and heat mapping, should Transport for West Midlands wish to deploy these at some point in the future. Trials of the Wisenet People Counting application are currently being carried out. This utilises the analytics software developed by Facit Data Systems, another Hanwha Techwin technology partner.

The Cameras A large percentage of the cameras

installed are Wisenet SNP-6320H 2 Megapixel Full HD network PTZ dome cameras. In addition to being a true Day/Night camera which is able to capture high quality images in low light, the SNP-6320H’s powerful 32x zoom capability enables operators to observe the close-up detail of any activity.

Trials were conducted where the cameras were capped at 2 Mbps and configured for the transmission of 25 images per second (ips) at 1080p resolution. The performance at this low bandwidth level was impressive and further contributed to the selection of the Wisenet SNP6320H, which are also equipped with intelligent auto-tracking capability to ensure a greater level of detail can be g captured when no operator is present.

IN SECURITY June 2018 21

Other Wisenet cameras deployed as part of the project include the SNV-6084R vandal-resistant IR dome and the SNB-6004 fixed camera, both of which are able to capture Full HD 2 Megapixel images.

Progress The project, which is targeted for completion in July 2018, has so far seen approximately 845 Wisenet cameras installed by Total Integrated Solutions Ltd (TIS) at over 50 railway stations, 11 bus stations, three Midland Metro park and ride sites, as well as the main Number 11 bus route around the City of Birmingham.

The remaining work includes the deployment of the latest generation of Wisenet high definition IP cameras at a number of car parks, together with significant camera upgrades in Walsall and Solihull, two of four Local Authority public space CCTV systems already monitored by WMCA. Live and recorded images from all the cameras are being monitored at a £1.2M state-of-the-art control room located in central Birmingham.

22 June 2018 IN SECURITY

“Our approach to this very large, complex project was not simply one of agreeing to meet exacting KPI’s from a performance perspective,” said Eamonn Murphy, Coleshill based TIS’s key account manager.

“We felt the route to success would be to adopt a more partnership type approach, where we were not only the provider of technical solutions but were also involved at a strategic level in identifying with Transport for West Midlands a pathway of system upgrade, improved efficiency, cost reduction, innovation and utilising latest technology such as video analytics to the best advantage.”

A Successful Partnership “Working on rail, Metro and bus station sites spread across the wider West Midlands area is a complex and challenging operation and the TIS team deserve recognition for its expertise and diligence,” said Mark Babington, Safety & Security Manager for Transport for West Midlands.

“TIS’s engineers were qualified to the highest degree to support the latest video surveillance technology,

as well as being experienced to cope with older legacy systems.

Both were needed within the unique environment of a busy integrated transportation network which brings its own exceptional requirements of compliance with bespoke health and safety legislation.

“Suppliers such as Hanwha Techwin and Veracity have also worked extremely well in partnership with us to ensure we could achieve maximum benefit from this substantial investment in the West Midlands transport infrastructure.”

Commenting on the success of the project, Bob (H.Y.) Hwang Ph.D., Managing Director, Hanwha Techwin Europe, said: “We greatly value the opportunity to have been involved in this project. It is an excellent example of the benefit of all stakeholders interacting with each other in partnership at an early stage of a project to ensure the most suitable products are specified and subsequently installed to the client’s satisfaction.” n For further information visit www.hanwha-security.eu

From analogue camera technology to the deployment of intelligent systems

aillard – from village to town The French town of Gaillard has grown from a predominantly farming village into a town with 200 hectares dedicated to commercial vegetable growing and 200 hectares of town development. Since the early 1960s, the population has almost tripled, and now numbers 11,500 residents from 110 different countries. It shares its main transport link with the municipality of Thonex (Switzerland). 40,000 vehicles pass through the town every day.

Accordingly, by the early 2000s the question of security was already an important issue for the town council, and the prevention and security policy has a high priority in the Gaillard political agenda. So it is not surprising that Gaillard now serves as a pilot community for purposes of both public surveillance and the deployment of the very latest technologies.

Prevention and security policy With the introduction of video surveillance, one of mayor Jean-Paul Bosland’s main aims is to protect people and property in places where aggressive behaviour and thefts occur more frequently. But he also intends it to provide protection for public buildings and facilities, monitor traffic and detect traffic violations. At the start of the project, in technical terms the town of Gaillard wanted a surveillance concept with extremely high recording reliability. In 2007, Dallmeier was the only manufacturer that was capable of presenting a recorder concept with blade technology, and so stood apart from other manufacturers from the beginning.

The Dallmeier concept was selected in a public call for tenders, the original project approval was awarded for the “Porte de

France” district in February 2007 and involved the acceptance of seven Dallmeier PTZ dome cameras.

This was also the signal to begin implementing a video surveillance system for the town, which has undergone continuous expansion and improvement ever since.

Video management in the town monitoring control centre (CSU) The logical next step followed in 2008 with the introduction of a central monitoring centre for the town, called the Centre de Supervision Urbain or CSU for short, for managing and analysing the cameras and the recorded data.

In the CSU, which was set up in the town police headquarters, the Dallmeier SeMSy® video management system forms the basis for effective, centralised control of the systems. At the moment, a total of 51 cameras and the data they deliver converge in the CSU. Thierry Plonka, the head of the town police force in Gaillard has no doubt that the CSU is the correct approach: “Our CSU has become a hub particularly for the police units which deal with crossborder investigations.”

Dallmeier FAT Centre During the early phases of the project, Thierry Plonka also visited the Dallmeier Factory Acceptance Test Centre in Regensburg. The FAT Centre is where the video system is set up in its entirety before it is shipped to the customer, so that it can be tested comprehensively in simulated live operation. Due to the FAT, the customer was able to assure himself of the quality and reliability of Dallmeier products before the system was commissioned.

Further development – analogue to IP Since then, surveillance cameras have been installed at many additional locations in the town and the system has been expanded continuously in several project phases. The subject of bodycams has also been raised, these are intended to prevent incidents during police actions and to enable offences to be monitored.

One important milestone in the ongoing development of the project was the transition from analogue camera equipment to IP cameras in 2011. The Dallmeier open system architecture enables the installation to operate in a two-track mode, and the analogue

cameras that are still operational do not necessarily have to be replaced at great cost. Depending on the deployment area, full HD IP PTZ cameras are then added to the existing constellation.

The specific surveillance of the commercial district entails displaying vehicle licence plates. For this application too, Dallmeier was able to deliver the right solution with cameras designed especially to detect vehicle number plates.

State-of-the-art technologies – Multifocal sensor system milestone The deployment of the Panomera® multifocal sensor system represents the most recent milestone. Thierry Plonka is evidently extremely satisfied with the capabilities offered by Panomera®: “A camera technology which allows you to zoom into the smallest detail in an image without losing an overview of the entire field of vision is extraordinary.”

Conclusion The town of Gaillard and police chief Plonka have been working with Dallmeier for more than a decade now, and they still have several plans for expanding the video surveillance

g

network. Plans under consideration include the extension of the tram line as far as Geneva, border stations and other sensitive locations. Advances in intelligent camera technology interacting with video analysis software and video management tools combine to solve new requirements that exceed the scope of simple observation.

For example, it is becoming more and more important to distinguish between a pedestrian, a delivery vehicle, a car, or a cycle in order to be able to generate appropriate responses very quickly when necessary.

The conclusion by mayor Bosland: “We have been using Dallmeier products for ten years, and German quality has proven itself. We will not settle for mediocrity, the image material must be flawless and admissible as evidence in court, so that we can identify suspicious persons and situations unambiguously. Dallmeier is a company with vision and makes every effort during the development of its products and solutions to ensure that they can be expanded and scaled with

26

June 2018 IN SECURITY

ease for years to come. This ensures a high degree of investment confidence.

We are convinced that Dallmeier technology will meet our needs in future as well.”

About Dallmeier Dallmeier has at its disposal more than 30 years of experience in transmission, recording as well as picture processing technology and is an outstanding pioneer of CCTV/IP solutions worldwide.

This profound knowledge is used in the development of intelligent software and high quality recorder and camera technologies enabling Dallmeier to not only offer stand-alone systems, but complete network solutions up to large-scale projects with perfectly integrated components.

Edesix to showcase wearable cameras for VMS market at IFSEC 2018

E

desix, market-leaders in the provision of body worn cameras (BWC), will be showcasing its integration to leading Video Management Service platforms at IFSEC 2018.

ONStream integrates Edesix’s VideoManager software with existing Video Management Systems (VMS) for fixed IP camera networks. This software enables ONVIF compliant VMSs to be compatible with Body Worn Cameras, allowing live footage from wearable cameras to appear alongside CCTV footage, meaning captured video can be instantly shared and viewed by security staff.

“Body Worn Cameras have been proven to help improve the safety of those in public facing roles, whilst producing compelling legal evidence when needed,” explains Richie McBride, managing director of Edesix.

“One of the most important recent innovations in the BWC market has been

the ability to integrate the cameras with existing VMSs, enabling organisations to unify a site’s security and monitoring system, and create mobile and firstperson viewpoints whilst adding contextual detail to footage.

“Fixed security cameras connected to a VMS are a powerful tool for monitoring and securing many different environments, from retail floors to distribution centres. This gives security teams the ability to view unparalleled detail of incidents as they unfold. The software furthers the potential of your VMS, protects valued staff, and captures concrete and secure footage for future review. It enables immediate response by control rooms and security teams and offers reliable footage for later review by supervisors. It also means live streams can be recorded as evidence, which can then be securely shared with third parties, including the police. The service is fully encrypted with audit trails to protect the evidential quality of

footage stored.”

McBride adds: “This latest innovation means Body Worn Cameras are capable of streaming live video and audio feeds from multiple perspectives and viewpoints to a control room, whilst simultaneously recording footage in HD quality locally to the device for the creation of complete evidence packages.”

Redefined and relaunched - Edesix’s new VideoTag VT-100 Edesix is also delighted to announce the launch of its improved VideoTag VT-100 camera, where the incident recorder meets the Body Worn Camera.

The VT-100 is a recording device specifically designed to meet the needs of retailers, lone workers and other public facing businesses. It is similar to the VT-50 incident recorder, which was launched at IFSEC 2017, but with the benefits of more durability and longer battery life. g The VT-100 is proven to deter

IN SECURITY June 2018 29

aggression, protect staff and provide secure evidential-quality footage on demand. It is robust and weatherproof, while remaining lightweight, unobtrusive, cost-effective and easy to use. The VT-100 can record up to four hours of continuous footage, requires no extra training, streams live footage, and has a standby battery-life of up to six months, meaning users don’t need to worry about charging the device often.

McBride comments: “We are delighted to announce the launch of the VideoTag VT-100. The beauty of this product is that it bridges the gap between the smaller incident recorder and the more powerful Body Worn Camera.

McBride adds: “The VT-100 will allow staff in public-facing roles, who are

30

June 2018 IN SECURITY

not always part of the security team, to create a safer working environment for themselves and their colleagues.

It offers a cost-effective, secure and practical approach to wearable security for incident recording and workflow management.”

Studies examining the use of BWCs show they make a real difference in protecting frontline staff and the public. Not only do they deter aggression and in many cases eliminate the need to activate a panic alarm or radio during an incident, but they also help staff feel valued, safe and more protected.

Edesix currently supplies key markets across the globe, through direct sales and international partners, to geographies including the UK, USA, Europe, Canada, the Middle

East and Australasia.

Edesix will be showcasing its VMS integration and the VT-100 at this year’s IFSEC in June.

EXHIBITION PREVIEW

Security Essen 2018 Security Fair Presents Solutions for the Transport and Logistics Sectors 32

June 2018 IN SECURITY

D

ue to the further opening of the market in Europe and the increasing globalisation, the transport and logistics sectors are pleased about undreamt-of chances. However, the subject of security is simultaneously becoming an important permanent task for the sector: From the increasing danger of terrorism via the challenges of digitalisation right up to new statutory regulations - old and new hazards are requiring an overview of possibilities for taking precautions and reducing risks. The subject of security is becoming more significant for local public passenger transport companies too because, for many travellers, the perception of their own security is decisive for using a means of transport.

For operators, strengthening the feeling of security is therefore a relevant, economic factor which may be reflected in the company figures in a concrete form. At Security Essen, decision takers and trade visitors will gain an overview of all the facets of the security sector.

From September 25 to 28, 2018, the impetus-providing global fair for civil security at Messe Essen will once more offer the answers to current challenges facing the economy and the society.

Security Essen: The Leading Fair for Civil Security Exhibitors will present innovations relating to all aspects of IT security, access systems and security services.

These will be supplemented by solutions for video surveillance, fire prevention and mechanical security systems. On the occasion of the coming event, the global fair will be reorganised with regard to the contents and the areas too. In

the future, exhibitors and visitors will profit from a new hall structure at Messe Essen. In six higher-level subject worlds, the structure will, from then on, be oriented even more strongly to the range offered by the exhibitors: “Services”, “Access”, “Mechatronics”, “Mechanics and Systems”, “Video” as well as “Fire, Intrusion and Systems” will form the new subject worlds. As a reaction to the changing challenges, the Cyber Security and Economic Security areas will constitute another main focal point to which a separate hall will be dedicated for the first time. This new alignment will be particularly valuable for the transport and logistics sectors because the hazards resulting from digitalisation are real on land, on water and in the air. Already in 2012, cyber criminals attacked a track section of the NorthWest Rail Company in the USA and disabled the signalling installations by intervening in the IT system. Specialists needed two days in order to repair the damage: Even if there were fortunately no personal injuries, the downtime of the track section entailed a bitter financial loss for the operator.

Cyber Security Conference Provides a Strong Signal for Digital Security At Security Essen, specialists will discuss scenarios like this within the framework of the Cyber Security Conference. Four days’ long, attention will focus on transferring knowledge and exchanging experience.

Because digital technology brings more comfort but, amongst many manufacturers and users, raises questions about unwanted access and intervention on the part of hackers and data thieves. The door system with video-based access checking, the fire alarms controllable using an app or also the house technology connected to the control centre - digital communication

is everywhere and results in sensitive data which must be protected from being accessed by any third parties: a challenge which will increase rather than decrease due to the trends of autonomous driving and the “Internet of Things”. As a result of the close intermeshing of the conference and the fair, trade visitors and exhibitors will have the possibility of obtaining information close to the fair and in the middle of the happenings. All the lectures will be planned to be user-related and will let visitors go home with the best possible benefits and concrete approaches. For example, visitors will, after a lecture on the subject of “Secure Cloud Services”, be able to obtain information about technical cyber defence products directly on the booth of HKS Sicherheitsberatung.

Focus on “Airports”: Hardly Any Other Area is More Sensitive A hacker overcomes the firewall of the tower, terrorists smuggle weapons through the checking channel for people and gangs steal valuable goods from the site at night: The areas of tasks and the hazard scenarios in air security are diverse. In this respect, successful defence and risk reduction require extensive know-how, technical equipment and constant adjustment to the current hazard situation. Fairs offer the ideal opportunity to find all the components necessary for a comprehensive security concept in a bundled form in one place. With the Federal Association of Air Security Companies (BDLS), the participants in Security Essen 2018 will include one important representative of the aviation sector. BDLS represents the economic, economic policy and specialist interests of its membercompanies on the national and European levels. At German airports, more than 23,000 private security operatives

security technology such as cameras and emergency call equipment as well as the good lighting of vehicles and sites. With Accellence Technologies, an experienced partner for solutions relating to all aspects of emergency call and service control centres will be represented at Security Essen 2018. Moreover, the requirements on security and alarm systems in industrial applications are becoming increasingly demanding and complex. In this respect, design demands frequently fall by the wayside.

This is annoying, above all, for the field of local public passenger transport. A remedy is provided, for example, by lighting solutions from Pfannenberg. In September, trade visitors to Security Essen will be able to inspect artistically designed lighting systems which architects, designers as well as urban and regional planners regularly use for projects in public spaces.

check and protect 223 million passengers and 4.6 million tonnes of air freight every year. The personnel necessary for this purpose is supplied by security service providers such as Stölting or Kötter.

Trade visitors will be able to get to know service providers of this kind at Security Essen.

Focus on “Seaports”: Digital Broadside on Water In many states, the seaports and the inland ports are amongst the most significant places for the transshipment of goods. As logistics service providers and as a “gateway to the world”, they have outstanding significance for the German economy too - Germany’s role as one of the leading export nations would not be conceivable without them.

In numerous supply chains, they are an important link because nearly every branch of the economy is reliant on functioning ports and well-developed infrastructures. In this respect, ports are exposed, in particular, to terrorist threats and natural hazards. There is also a growing threat posed by organised crime which, in a targeted way, has set its sights on lucrative container thefts.

At Security Essen, companies such as Berlemann Torbau and Perimeter Protection will therefore offer solutions for perimeter protection.

camera systems which ensure protection from crime. In this respect, modern systems establish in an automated method whether an object is approaching a site, from what direction it is coming or how long it stays in an area. With the collected data, algorithms can recognise objects and classify them, for example, as a “person” or an “animal”. The suppliers of such systems include, for example, Promise Technology which will be represented at the next Security Essen as a developer of open storage platforms for IP video surveillance. Schneider Intercom will be another supplier located in this segment and will bring security and communication solutions, based on intercom and IP technologies, with it to the next leading fair for civil security.

Systems of this kind offer the advantage that speech, images and data are networked on a single system platform with a uniform operator interface.

Focus on “Railways and Local Public Passenger Transport”: More Turnover with Security Customer surveys regularly show that travellers’ feeling of security exerts a great influence on the satisfaction with the overall range offered by the transport operator. In this respect, the most important factors in order to increase the travellers’ feeling of security include the presence of uniformed personnel, visible

September 25 to 28, 2018: Security Essen Focuses on Digitalisation and Networking For the first time, Security Essen from September 25 to 28, 2018 will take place in the modernised halls at Messe Essen. That opened up the possibility of completely new structuring of the fair. In order to ensure optimum orientation and placing for exhibitors and trade visitors, the event will be divided into six subject areas. The digital focusing will be accompanied by a new, attention-grabbing supporting programme: For example, the Federal Office for Information Security and the Federal Association for Security Technology will stage the Cyber Security Conference which will be tailored to users and will be convenient and quick to reach directly in the happenings at the fair. The Discussion Circle on Internal Security with participants from the police, scientific, judicial and political fields as well as from local authorities and the security industry will take place parallel to this. Furthermore, a large special show area under the guiding motto of “Public Security Forum” in which live scenarios for the protection of public spaces will be shown will await the visitors in Hall 8. n For more information visit www.security-essen.de as well as www.facebook.com/SecurityEssen/

BRITISH SECURITY INDUSTRY ASSOCIATION

First prize Recognising the outstanding work of the industry

T

he incredible efforts of security personnel can often go unnoticed in day to day life, but events such as BSIA’s recently rebranded British Security Awards highlight how important it is to recognise the efforts of the truly outstanding personnel that work within the industry.

Each year the BSIA holds awards both regionally and nationally to celebrate some of the truly outstanding personnel that work within our industry who have gone above and beyond the call of duty in their everyday work.

We present awards both regionally

36 June 2018 IN SECURITY

and nationally, culminating in July in London with our marquee event, the British Security Awards. For the last 20 years we have been celebrating the high calibre contributions across five categories: Service to the Customer, Best Team, Outstanding Act, Best Use of Technology and Best Newcomer.

Each year, the BSIA is inundated with fantastic nominations, from literally saving lives to being instrumental in

police investigations, demonstrating just how committed and admirable security personnel are.

Sponsored by Camberford Law plc, the security personnel awards serve to recognise the talent, dedication, skill and bravery exhibited by security personnel in their roles. Each year, the BSIA is inundated with fantastic nominations, from literally saving lives to being instrumental in police investigations, demonstrating just how committed and admirable security personnel are. In 2018 the regional awards have presented some truly outstanding acts of bravery, customer

service, teamwork and forward thinking from across the United Kingdom representing a broad spectrum of BSIA members and their clients.

In 2018 the regional awards have presented some truly outstanding acts of bravery, customer service, teamwork and forward thinking from across the United Kingdom representing a broad spectrum of BSIA members and their clients. It is heartening to read about a night security

guard who whilst guarding a carpark had taken time to assist in talking down and comforting a young man who was in the process of trying to take his life, or about a security team discovering a seriously ill patient in cardiac arrest and issuing prolonged (and eventually successful) CPR whilst maintaining the situation until the paramedics arrived. These are just two examples of regional winners demonstrating the exemplary actions of

members of our industry.

The awards also celebrate the work of our apprentices, recognising the new blood of the industry and we also reward the outstanding achievements of BSIA member companies for international, innovation and environment categories.

Our final award, the SaferCash Bravery Award acknowledges the courage, initiative and composure exhibited by cash-in-transit couriers in the face of exceptional, challenging or dangerous situations.

The regional winners will now go forward as national finalists to the British Security Awards, held in London on 11 July at the Marriot Hotel, Grosvenor Square.

“It is important that we recognise the true value of security personnel, who are often the first responders in times of emergency and play a vital role in keeping the public safe, says BSIA’s Chief Executive, James Kelly. “This year’s regional winners are testament to the truly high calibre of personnel we have working within our industry. We received a high number of fantastic nominations this year, making the judging process a tough one. This year’s winners should be extremely proud of their achievements and we wish them luck as they go forward as finalists to the British Security Awards in July.”

The British Security Awards finalist winners will receive their trophy from guest speaker, broadcaster Reverend Richard Coles, and the SaferCash Bravery Award will be presented

by Assistant Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police, Sir Stephen House.

The companies who have winners in the following personnel categories are: • VSG (best team, best newcomer, best use of technology, outstanding act) • Securitas UK (best newcomer, outstanding act, service to the customer) • Westgrove (best newcomer, best team, outstanding act, service to the customer) • Mitie (best team, outstanding act) • MAN Commercial Protection (outstanding act, service to the customer) • Robinson Services (best team, service to the customer) • OCS Group UK (best team) • SecuriGroup UK (service to the customer) • Sword Security (outstanding act) Following on from the 50th Anniversary of the BSIA in 2017, it was decided to rebrand the national event as the British Security Awards. “Our decision to rebrand our annual event as the British Security Awards was to reinforce that this is the national event that recognises the talent and commitment

of our industry’s finest”, says James Kelly, “our members’ contributions remain at the heart of the Association’s ongoing success and by renaming as the British Security Awards, we aim to consolidate this prestigious event as the main security industry networking

opportunity of the year”.

The British Security Awards also includes reception and lunch as well as drinks following the awards ceremony. n For further information visit

Winner of the Midlands region for Outstanding Act, Imran Nazir of MAN Commercial Protection went above and beyond by saving a life in the course of his duty.

Whilst patrolling a local carpark Security Officer Imran Nazir was alerted to a young man perching on a parapet wall of the 10th floor of the complex, and it soon became apparent that he was contemplating suicide. Imran called out to the young man to let him know that he was there, telling him life was too short and suggested he come down and talk to him. The young man explained he had recently lost his job and was in debt and could see no other way out. It was at this point that Imran saw blood running down the young man’s hands so he calmly asked him if he wanted to call an ambulance. Imran stayed calm as he waited for the emergency services and spent time talking about his own life experiences and how he stayed positive in the face of adversity. When the Police arrived they praised Imran for his conduct.

The impact of this active intervention is that the young man did not commit suicide, and is now receiving treatment at a Mental Health Unit. This incredible piece of altruism in the course of duty undoubtedly saved a life.
