The smarter, electronic way to run key-based access control

ntelligent, programmable keys put the powerful features of electronic access control into a convenient technology. They have the advantages of traditional lockand-key security: familiar and userfriendly. But they have evolved. An electronic locking solution minimizes security risks when keys go missing.

Facility managers can manage everyone’s access from anywhere, at any time — electronically, securely and cable-free.

Based on ASSA ABLOY’s award-winning CLIQ® access control technology, an eCLIQ system is built around precision-engineered locks with high-end microelectronics.

A standard battery inside each programmable electronic key powers the eCLIQ cylinder or padlock — and secures data transfer between lock,

4 | December 2020 | IN SECURITY

key and system.

Thanks to multiple software options, security staff manage users’ access rights in a way that suits them best and from a single interface.

Staff no longer waste time running electronic and mechanical systems in parallel or entering information manually into multiple databases.

Authorised key-holders also enjoy the convenience: everyone carries a single, battery-powered key programmed with only their cleared access permissions. They no longer carry bulging keyrings or waste time hunting down the right key for the job.

Low-maintenance locking devices that facility managers trust The eCLIQ lock range can filter authorized entry through doors

and many other openings. Robust, durable cylinders and padlocks with eCLIQ technology can protect lifts, server racks, furniture, gates, mailboxes, cabinets and more with the same level of control as sensitive doors. Certified and available in multiple sizes and formats, eCLIQ cylinders keep organizations compliant with regulations.

Because eCLIQ keys are powered by standard batteries, they extend electronic access control anywhere — far beyond the reach of wired locking.

Cylinders are available with an optional dust and rain protection cap for weather resistance; they operate safely between -25°C and 85°C. Waterproof padlocks work outdoors in almost every environment, however harsh.

The keys are equally durable,

compact, and waterproof (IP67).

They are easy to program, enabling temporary and time-limited access permissions for every employee or contractor. AES encryption, rapid processing, and efficient energy management are built into the chip.

When a key’s standard battery runs low, it is easily replaced without tools.

Easy installation, simple administration Managing eCLIQ is straightforward and flexible. Keys are programmed with easy-to-use software, offering a choice between a local software installation (CLIQ Local Manager) or secure web-based software (CLIQ Web Manager) which manages access rights from anywhere, in the cloud. CLIQ Web Manager can run in a self-hosted IT environment or completely free of local software installation with two different Software as a Service (SaaS) offerings: Shared SaaS or Dedicated SaaS with hosting and maintenance schedules dedicated to a single customer. CLIQ Web Manager also offers optional integration capability with many kinds of business management software, helping automate tedious operations and processes to boost efficiency.

However an eCLIQ system is managed, missing keys are

quickly de-authorised, cutting risks associated with key loss or theft.

At any time, facility managers can generate a full audit trail to discover who has accessed which locks.

“Unlike other electronic access systems, eCLIQ uses no mains electricity,” says Stephan Schulz, CLIQ Product Manager at ASSA ABLOY Opening Solutions EMEA. “Relying on energy-efficient battery power minimizes disruption when making the switch to eCLIQ. Because no cabling is required around the door, there’s no need to schedule, or pay for invasive electrical wiring at installation stage.”

Efficient hospital security management with electronic key security For hospital managers, a programmable key solution enables them to create personalized access schedules — even for temporary contractors — and collect audit trails for doors or key holders automatically. Staff travel into, out of and through the hospital based on rules programmed into their keys.

At University Hospital Frankfurt 1,100 eCLIQ cylinders secure doors in a new building. CLIQ Web Manager software makes it easy to program, reprogram and audit every key, cylinder or padlock . Because the interface is accessible from

anywhere with an internet connection — via multifactor login over a secure connection — staff manage the eCLIQ system whenever and from wherever they choose. Its architecture supports multiple administrators or sites.

SaaS is another important feature for hospital managers, because it ensures security software is always up to date — a major benefit in healthcare, where confidentiality makes cyber-attack resistance critical.

Intelligent key-operated locks secure public and commercial spaces In delivering services fit for the 2020s, public institutions need more than just innovation and accountability. They require flexibility and agility, too, including in how they approach security. The security challenges for public services and public spaces do not stand still: here, filtering access intelligently and dynamically has become part of security’s job description.

Museums benefit from multilayered security, where access control plays a key role alongside CCTV and alarms in preventing theft and break-ins. In a heritage property with historic architecture to maintain — or in a modern building where security blends in — discreet, cable-free locking ensures the site remains as its designer intends.

IN SECURITY | December 2020 | 5

The Thiepval Museums needed trusted, secure entry and exit control for a twin-site operation in northern France. User-friendly management of access rights was essential — for both internal and external users.

A solution with no need to change all cylinders when an employee loses a key was required. Now the Historical and Thiepval Museums, too, are equipped with eCLIQ locking cylinders across their two locations. Of 40 durable, compact and waterproof eCLIQ keys, 19 are allocated to regular users. These Bluetooth-enabled keys are available to both employees and contractors, helping the latter to improve their responsiveness.

The eCLIQ system allows security staff to better monitor service providers — and their movements around and between the two sites.

It is straightforward for museum managers to limit contractor access rights to the duration of a task, whether recurring or one-off.

“I am very happy with the eCLIQ solution,” says M. Guyot, Technical and Security Manager at the Historical and Thiepval Museums.

“Today, I promote the solution to 6 | December 2020 | IN SECURITY

those around me. I have also given a demonstration to the Somme General Council to show the effectiveness and simplicity of the eCLIQ solution.”

High security for critical sites Retail banking combines high security with complex workflows.

Staff need efficient access. Facility managers need the flexibility to design access permissions around individual clearances. “Access all areas” locking is not appropriate.

In this sector, a single, integrated eCLIQ locking system can protect assets in banking halls, ATMs and cash in transit, with eCLIQ devices tailored to different locking points.

Multiple layers of eCLIQ physical and electronic security work together to provide a safety net should a key go missing. Any lost key’s access rights are removed instantly via system software: it no longer opens any door, vault or ATM, maintaining high security at the bank.

At one bank in Italy’s Lombardy region, Creval, doors are now locked with eCLIQ cylinders, putting managers in total control of entrance security. In the unlikely event a key is misplaced, Creval administrators

simply de-authorize it.

Utilities and infrastructure have similarly stringent security. For nine hydroelectric plants, plus 130km of pipelines with 45 transformer stations, K&F Drack (KFD) in Austria required a new locking solution. At commissioning stage KFD managers focused on flexibility — in both installation and use — specifying a system which should demand as little maintenance as possible.

Technology would also match the KFD ethos of cautious and respectful interaction with nature, people and the environment.

Their choice was eCLIQ keypowered electronic access control from ASSA ABLOY. “The great flexibility of the system convinced us,” says Stefan Drack, CEO. “We are planning to also use eCLIQ in other areas and further properties.”

Critical advancement in knife protection Based on a comprehensive understanding of today’s most realistic threats faced by homeland and private security professionals, PPSS Group have today announced an official replacement for their highly acclaimed polycarbonate-based stab resistant body armour.

The firm’s product video, featuring the CEO Robert Kaiser being beaten and stabbed wearing the body armour is widely regarded as ‘physical evidence’ of its precise performance level and quality.

Kaiser said: “Following years of relentless R&D we have concluded that Polycarbonate as a raw material is, or at some point will no longer be good enough. Its lack of certified spike protection resulted in it becoming ‘morally’ very difficult for us. We learned to accept that improved protection from knives, machetes, razor blades, shanks and indeed spikes was needed.”

“We concluded that carbon fibre composites are the only real reliable and forward-thinking solution. Carbon fibre is enabling us to offer truly superior levels of stab protection alongside substantial weight reduction, lower thickness, and finally also fully certified spike protection. This at no extra cost” According to their CEO, certified spike protection is crucial, especially to correctional and prison officers who face some of the cruellest makeshift weapons.

Spike protection has now also become of equal importance to private security professionals, simply due to the type of weapons appearing on the streets in recent years.

Comparing it with the company’s highly successful polycarbonate-based stab resistant vests, the new body armour is even lighter, thinner, more effective and more functional.

Certified Performance Levels: • CAST KR1/SP1 Stab & Spike - (CAST Body Armour Standard 2017) • NIJ Level 1 Stab & Spike - (NIJ Standard 0115.01) • PAM K1 Stab & Spike - (VPAM KDIW 2004 – Edition 18.05.2011) • VPAM I1 ‘Needle Protection’ - (VPAM KDIW 2004 – Edition 18.05.2011) • VPAM W1 ‘Impact Protection’ - (VPAM KDIW 2004 – Edition 18.05.2011) Over the past ten years, PPSS Group’s body armour have been offering the most reliable levels of protection from edged, protecting security professionals and law enforcement, prison, immigration, and customs officers worldwide.

New COVID-19 management features for EntroWatch Access Control The latest version of EntroWatch includes several new features to help make buildings COVID-19 Secure. EntroWatch is the award-winning access control software for Entro series door controllers and contactless card readers and keypads. The new COVID-19 management features include occupancy management, temperature & mask screening and contact tracing.

Occupancy management can be used to manage social distancing and prevent overcrowding in an EntroWatch controlled building. Occupancy levels can be set for rooms whose doors have access control readers. Examples include offices, meeting rooms, laboratories, tool rooms, canteens & rest areas.

EntroWatch displays occupancy levels, supports ‘one in and one out’ access and can be set to alarm if someone tries to exceed the occupancy threshold level.

The temperature & mask screening feature makes use of compatible camera technologies placed strategically within a building. As people pass one of these cameras, they are screened for temperature and whether they are wearing a mask or not. Based on threshold levels and settings, a person is either allowed to enter or exit an EntroWatch access controlled door or not. A snapshot of their temperature is stored in EntroWatch.

Contact tracing is an enhanced report within EntroWatch 3.1 based on the access control principle of 10 | December 2020 | IN SECURITY

Who, Where and When. The report can be used to track and trace people within a building.

“We have responded rapidly to requests from our clients to extend EntroWatch features for pandemic management” commented David Ross, Remsdaq’s UK Security Business Development Manager . “These new features are part of the ongoing development of the EntroWatch platform and can help building owners and managers to ensure safe social distancing and protection from the potential risk of a Coronavirus infection.”

The Entro series utilises the native BACnet/IP protocol; the open communications standard for the building automation industry. Using BACnet provides the opportunity to integrate the Entro series into an intelligent building management system, for population and movement data for analytics and rule-based energy usage. The Entro series includes the EntroStar (twodoor) and EntroNet (eight-door) access door controllers, EntroPad card readers, keypad and management kit and EntroPass secure credential. For UK government sites Remsdaq supplies a Certified Secure CPNI version of the Entro system.

One device, multiple applications: secure almost any access control door wirelessly with the Aperio® electronic escutcheon Flexibility and a trusted record of reliable security in real-world environments: these are critical features when choosing any new electronic locks. With the Aperio® E100 Wireless Escutcheon from ASSA ABLOY Opening Solutions, you get both.

A robust device suited to almost any medium- to high-traffic door, the E100 is easy to install wire-free — an ideal choice for both retrofit projects and new buildings. With Aperio’s open platform, it is straightforward to then integrate your escutcheons with almost any new or existing security system. You can integrate Aperio E100 escutcheons online or offline — or combine both online and offline doors within the same access control system.

The E100 escutcheon offers a convenient combination of free exit from the inside with automatic locking on closure from outside. You can also lock securely from the inside, if you wish, with the Privacy Function. It comes in a variety of specifications to fit different door security levels or everyday usage. Supplementing a Standard version, the E100 Premium offers upgraded security that is also certified (DIN/EN) for use at fire and escape doors.

“Available for EURO, DIN, Scandinavian and Finnish door profiles, the Aperio escutcheon provides trusted security at a range of sensitive locations, including many universities, offices, stadiums, public buildings and hospitals across Europe,” says Lars Angelin, Aperio® Business Development Manager at ASSA ABLOY Opening Solutions EMEA. At the Centre Hospitalier Métropole Savoie (CHMS) in France, for example, around 1,300 E100 escutcheons integrate natively with a central access system. The hospital’s wired and wireless doors are managed together with real-time logs and remote opening. CHMS door credentials are tailored for compatibility with the government’s electronic Health Professional Card, so staff only carry one, dual-use RFID-enabled badge.

At the Netherlands’ InHolland University of Applied Sciences, Aperio escutcheons seamlessly integrate with a Nedap AEOS system. A single credential enables users to unlock all authorized openings managed by AEOS — whether wired or Aperio-secured doors.

Looking to the future, a new InHolland campus in Amsterdam will require access control to integrate with a smart building system. Aperio is designed for interoperability, so is a natural fit: “I am very satisfied

with the implementation and operation of the Aperio solution,” says Frans Bruggeman, Facility Services Consultant at InHolland.

Fast installation and cost-efficient operation Because all Aperio locking devices are wireless and battery powered, they are installed quickly and with minimal building disruption. A recent ASSA ABLOY benchmarking study measured installer labour costs at over 80% lower for these wireless locks versus standard wired locks*.

“The same study confirms improved energy efficiency with Aperio, too,” adds Angelin. “The ongoing cost of running these battery-operated wireless locks is much lower than for equivalent wired electronic locks, which require an ‘always on’ mains electricity connection to retain secure status. Potential cost savings are significant over every lock’s life-cycle.”

Alongside comprehensive high- and low-frequency RFID compatibility, the Aperio escutcheon allows convenient mobile access powered by Bluetooth Low Energy. The user’s identity is stored and protected using native, on-device security and strong end-to-end encryption. For door entry, a user presents their smartphone or mobile device to the escutcheon’s inbuilt reader, which communicates securely with the access system to generate a fast decision.

The Aperio E100 wireless escutcheon completes a comprehensive range of Aperio wireless locking devices which includes electronic handles (H100), cylinders (C100), locks (L100) and a wireless lock for server cabinets (KS100).

Wisenet WAVE integrated with ACT Enterprise Combining video surveillance and access control to maximise situation awareness and security The integration developed between Vanderbilt’s ACT Enterprise access control software platform and Hanwha Techwin’s Wisenet WAVE video management software (VMS), means operators are now able to instantly visually verify access control activity and events directly from ACT Enterprise.

ACT Enterprise is a role-based software platform which streamlines the monitoring and management of ACTpro access control systems comprising web-enabled door controller interfaces and MiFare and/or DESfire card readers.

The integration removes the need for control room operators to use two separate software platforms to visually verify access control events. Instead, operators are able to conveniently view live streams or recorded video associated with a door, directly in ACT Enterprise.

If, for example, a door has been forced open, an operator can simply right-click on the event listed in ACT Enterprise, to immediately replay the relevant recorded video made available by Wisenet WAVE. Wisenet WAVE With an auto-discover feature which enables connected cameras and third-party IP network devices to be addressed and set up in just minutes, Wisenet WAVE makes it almost effortless to monitor high-definition video streams. Key features include a virtual PTZ which, with just a click of the mouse, enables operators to 16 | December 2020 | IN SECURITY

zoom in to see close-up detail of any suspicious activity.

The latest version of WAVE, 4.1, also features push notifications of user defined alarm events which can be sent to mobile devices. Support for Wisenet AI cameras allows the attributes of classified objects or people to be forensically searched by filtering recorded metadata.

Technology partnership “Wisenet video surveillance and ACT Enterprise systems are increasingly being specified for the same projects. With this in mind, we have worked closely with the Vanderbilt team to ensure our respective solutions seamlessly interact,” said Uri Guterman, Head of Product & Marketing for Hanwha Techwin Europe. “This is an excellent example of two global market leaders cooperating to ensure our mutual customers are able to efficiently and conveniently obtain maximum value from their investment in a security solution.”

Commenting on the success of the integration, Michael Moyna, Senior Product Manager at Vanderbilt, stated: “This integration makes for a more precise examination of the video system concerning the access control event. It also removes the operator’s need to visit the control room to retrieve the footage, as it can be viewed directly within ACT Enterprise instead. This, of course, delivers an added layer of convenience to the system’s users.”

IDIS AI BOX for Covid-19 supports safer working practices and re-opening IDIS is supporting affordable and straightforward returnto-work steps with its new AI Box (DV-2232) for COVID-19. Powered by the industry’s most accurate IDIS Deep Learning Engine and compatible with IDIS Deep Learning Analytics (IDLA), the AI Box for COVID-19 is a simple add-on appliance that’s compatible with existing IDIS network cameras and DirectIP® NVRs, eliminating the need for complex analytics software or edge VA devices.

The IDIS AI Box for COVID-19 includes functions for social distancing adherence, people counting and occupancy control, crowd detection, mask detection and dashboard and reporting tools that are critically important for compliance. These practical deep learning-based features support safe working practices which help prevent the spread of coronavirus and other infections.

Users can take advantage of four advanced video analytics functions simultaneously across 32-channels and each camera stream, making the cost-effective IDIS AI Box adaptable for all sizes of business. Users also benefit from a perspective view, giving superior analysis compared to top view analytics cameras and ensuring that each camera provides exceptional surveillance for security, safety, and data intelligence.

IDIS AI Box advanced video analytics enables some of the most important counter-infection measures: People Counting & Occupancy Monitoring - counts the number of people coming in and out of premises (stores, banks, pharmacies, and busy commercial sites, for example) showing the status of occupancy in realtime. Using cameras positioned at entrances and exits, the IDIS AI Box generates precise AI-assisted alerts to overcrowding, with real-time calculations to underpin occupancy control interventions. For retail customers, dashboards positioned at store entrances use a simple 3-step traffic light system to automate the admissions and flow in and out. In addition, the dashboards show estimated wait times at peak periods and allow retailers to customise the displays with company logos and promotional graphics.

Social Distancing – detects distances between individuals and sends an alarm when a defined distance is violated. Users can configure event notifications to

issue verbal reminders and select from five spacing sensitivity levels depending on local state, industry, or sector-specific requirements.

Crowd Detection - alerts building and store managers to overcrowding in pre-selected zones and triggers event alarms every time bottlenecking or overcrowding occurs.

Face Mask Detection - detects people wearing a mask or people not wearing a mask, giving users the ability to configure and trigger event alarms and issue verbal reminders accordingly.

Reporting – comprehensive reporting tools are provided for all four of these video analytic functions.

Updated anti-ligature camera for secure facilities from ITS Products ITS Products has released their latest version of an anti-ligature non-grip corner custodial camera. It has been developed for prisons, secure mental hospitals, custody suites, immigration detention centres, juvenile facilities and other estates for challenging and vulnerable occupants.

In the wake of high-profile deaths in remand centres and increasing scrutiny of prison regimes as well as the vigilance of officers, the CMD4 has been designed to offer an extremely wide field of view minimizing room blind spots.

The camera can help staff demonstrate duty of care with problematic prisoners. High-resolution recordings ensure appropriate treatment of room occupants while also protecting authorities from spurious lawsuits.

The CMD4 delivers megapixel image resolution in full colour while the room is lit and during darkness the near invisible IR illuminators allow comprehensive monitoring of vulnerable inmates. It maintains a safe working environment that minimizes unnecessary physical proximity at a time when this is high-risk for everybody. There have always been strong arguments for installing cameras of this kind, but safety of frontline workers in the current climate is now a clincher.

The camera is ONVIF-compliant and works with all leading video surveillance recording and management systems. It balances zero ligature or grip potential for a cell occupant intent on self-harm with protection of the unit from attack. Vandal resistance is at a premium for violent inmates or in other demanding environments and the camera meets IK10 in terms of resisting external impact up to 20 joules.

Covert energy-efficient IR illuminators produce clear actionable video in low or minimal lighting conditions when this is required during sleeping hours.

Discreet observation of cell occupants who may be in a distressed state can continue for their own protection in 20 | December 2020 | IN SECURITY

complete darkness if necessary.

Flexing into the corners of a cell or room, the CMD4 factors out gaps, something that is greatly appreciated in mature estates where a true 90-degree corner is a rarity. The camera and integrated corner housing are installed in minutes, and maintenance or inspection requires use of only six screws. In the unlikely event of a need for part replacement, spares are fitted easily.

ITS Products has decades of custodial security experience and appreciates that on-site engineering time and use of tools near prisoners or any correctional inmates must be minimized. The CMD4 scores highly in terms of uninterrupted performance and will be suitable for the toughest prison and secure mental health facilities worldwide.

Chris Newman, a director of ITS Products, said: “We’re constantly listening to feedback from our users in the international custody market. Our remit is broad and the camera has been devised for the wellbeing of everybody be they inmates, patients, guards, supervisors, health professionals or visitors.”

He continued: “Cases of allegedly excessive restraint (notably in youth detention centres) and several deaths have been the subject of review. Any detention facility presents unique demands on security equipment, and cameras designed for more general applications simply don’t achieve the required results. Our new release has optics and structure optimised for this environment.”

ITS Products’ design team behind the CMD4 has worked in high-security prisons ranging from Scotland to Sydney. As with all of the company’s offerings, the unit is created from raw materials in the UK from ITS Products’ own manufacturing base. It is available in the UK from ITS Products and through selected overseas distribution partners.

CASINO SECURITY

Raising the stakes Innovative end-to-end security and surveillance solution developed by Axis Communications improves operations and security at Napoleons Casinos & Restaurants new Manchester site Mission The A & S Leisure Group Ltd operates Napoleons Casinos & Restaurants, a popular chain of five entertainment venues across the North of England. Each site is supported by a combination of digital and analogue security and surveillance technologies. When deciding to open the fifth venue in the busy city of Manchester, The A & S Leisure Group Ltd undertook a whole scale review of its security provision with the aim of bringing it up to date and better equipping the casino to address a more sophisticated threat landscape.

The new solution would be 22 | December 2020 | IN SECURITY

required to provide full perimeter protection, access control at multiple entrance points, as well as total surveillance of the entire gambling floor to provide a comprehensive ‘eye in the sky’.

Solution Casinos must be adequately protected, not just to secure the premises and protect against fraud or theft, but also to fulfil legal requirements set by the Gambling Commission and local authorities.

Working closely with Axis, Brock Business Support was able to commission a solution that would

support the business, being fully scalable to meet ongoing challenges.

When looking at the requirements of the new site, integration between surveillance cameras and the access control system was an important factor, alongside high-quality imagery, real-time reporting and audio capabilities.

Deterring theft, combatting fraud The A & S Leisure Group Ltd operates Napoleons Casinos& Restaurants, a successful entertainment chain with premises in Sheffield, Bradford, Leeds, Hull and Manchester. The decision to set up the fifth site in

“Multiple factors were taken into consideration, which meant meticulous planning, right down to considerations around connectivity. For example, the use of Axis Zipstream technology meant that there was no need to upgrade existing cabling, representing an immediate cost saving for the casino’s owners.”

Dave Brock, Managing Director, Brock Business Support Ltd. the bustling city of Manchester, UK, presented the team with the perfect opportunity to conduct a strategic review of their security provision from the ground up.

With crime levels increasing and threats becoming more sophisticated through the use of mobile and surveillance technology, a new solution would need to be cyber secure, as well as providing comprehensive security coverage of the entire site.

In the past, security and surveillance systems would be provided by separate vendors according to requirements, and often needed regular ongoing maintenance.

A trial was carried out at the Sheffield site to test an overarching solution from one provider, Axis Communications, designed by Brock Business Support. The A & S Leisure Group Ltd team was impressed with the demonstration, and additional ideas and suggestions were discussed that would maximise the capabilities of the desired solution. Guy Hewson, Head of Security at The A & S Leisure Group Ltd, explains: “When looking at the requirements of the new site, integration between the surveillance and access control systems was an important requirement, together with high quality images from the

cameras, and immediate video play back with audio. We turned to Brock Business Support who, through its close working partnership with Axis Communications, was able to specify a system that could be tailor made for our requirements.”

Specification and installation One hundred cameras were installed at the site, requiring six AXIS T8524 PoE+ Network Switches and recording on three servers, all driven

by AXIS Camera Station software running over four viewing stations.

The staff entrance utilises an AXIS A8004-VE Network Video Door Station, and all staff are admitted

after scanning using a biometric reader. Inside, AXIS M3065-V network mini dome cameras cover back of house areas, providing a wide-angle view. Gaming tables, money exchange areas, bar and slot machines are monitored by AXIS P3375-V Network Cameras with built in two-way audio functionality. At the roulette wheels AXIS F1015 Sensor Units sit inside the table displays, providing a discrete full view with recording capabilities and images that are clear and sharp. Externally the perimeter is covered by AXIS P3245-LVE Fixed Dome Network Cameras with Axis Light finder technology, ideal for variable lighting and weather conditions.

An end-to-end solution for integration The Axis system is, at the core, a single brand end-to-end solution, but open for integration with other systems using APIs and standard IoT protocols. It is easily scalable, to meet the growing needs of the business and to help them face 24 | December 2020 | IN SECURITY

ongoing challenges as threats evolve and become more sophisticated.

Taking the decision to be open for integration means that Axis can draw on the expertise of its partners for certain aspects of the solution. For example, there are six Axis door controllers on site which use system integration technologies provided by Quanika, while connected biometric readers have been supplied by IEVO. These technologies work together seamlessly with the Axis components to make up the complete solution.

AXIS Camera Station makes operation simple for in-house staff. Screens display feeds from multiple cameras, and the ability to capture and export live video data in real-time for the authorities in the event of an incident, provides peace of mind for all at the site. The solution has met all of its objectives, and The A & S Leisure Group Ltd now plans to review the technologies at the other four sites, implementing variations on the design employed so successfully at the Manchester premises.

Result The A & S Leisure Group Ltd was presented with a comprehensive overreaching solution from a single provider. It comprises an Axis door station, an access control management system, and over one hundred surveillance cameras that cover every inch of floor-space with the capability to watch every roulette wheel and game taking place throughout the hall. Multiple displays, crystal clear audio and the ability to quickly and easily retrieve and package video for authorities, results in a comprehensive system that can not only protect at the perimeter, but also monitor every aspect of operations to guard against theft and fraud. Such is the success of the system that the team are rolling it out across their other venues.

ACCESS CONTROL

Back to work Contactless security and getting back to the workplace by Jaroslav Barton, Product Marketing Director (PACS), HID Global

A

s organisations consider a return to the physical workplace, they must adapt to new requirements, implement new procedures, and leverage technology to alleviate their employees’ concerns.

Physical access is a prime area of interest. Crowded entrances, elevators and shared working spaces are a threat to safe social distancing.

Likewise, some security processes, like credentialling, have always relied on face-to-face contact.

Access control management can help route employees, in

26 | December 2020 | IN SECURITY

tandem with efforts to stagger work times. Physical access control systems (PACS) can also leverage location services to support contact tracing and reduce crowding, and these same systems can be used in support of thoughtful visitor management.

Touchless Access Control Automatic door operators, revolving doors, and sliding doors can all help to reduce contact at high-volume entry and exit points. These can be coupled with contactless credentials and readers to ensure security while minimizing surface contamination.

Another strategy involves the use of long-range capable readers that leverage Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) connections to deliver read performance at a distance. With a read range of up to several meters, BLE can further distance employees who might otherwise crowd up around readers and doors.

Touchless credentials also support more hygienic protocols for logging in to networks, paying for vending, or activating printing.

Over-the-Air Credentialing Modernized systems can send credentials to any authorized device,

anywhere, so employees and visitors can have their credentials delivered contact-free.

Visitor Management Visitors introduce a new variable.

They must be credentialed upon entry, and you need to know where they are in the building for security reasons and should contact tracing become necessary.

Solid policies and advanced technologies can ensure safe movement of visitors. Visitor management solutions can be used either standalone or in conjunction with an organization’s access control system. Visitors self-register in the lobby and hosts are notified when they arrive. Driver’s license scanners, barcode scanners, cameras, and printers all help support those front desk processes.

Location Services Key to keeping people physically distanced is knowing where they are at any given time. Much how GPS is used in outdoor settings, location services leverage BLE beacons to ping off gateways that in turn can identify the location of individuals in a physical space. An individual’s identity can be based on an ID

card which broadcasts continually, creating a virtual map of location relative to the fixed gateways.

Location services give management a means to be proactive rather than reactive in their efforts to promote physical distancing by knowing at any time how many people are in a particular space.

Connected beacons could also broadcast room occupancy, for example, letting people know which spaces are free and which are in use.

What is more, these systems can automate contact tracing because they know if people have come into contact with someone that has tested positive for COVID. Making the Most of PACS Technologies For those charged with implementing and overseeing physical access control, these are extraordinarily challenging times. There may be fewer staff on site and those that are will potentially experience a higher workload. In order to operate safe spaces, there is a need to streamline operations, to make sure staff are asking for the right information and that people entering the building are aware of what the policies are

While technology can play a significant role in supporting social distancing and other pandemicrelated needs, policies are at the core of any successful return-towork effort.

It is critical, for example, to have solid audit systems in place. PACS systems generate logs, reports, and archives – invaluable information, if put to good use. Building managers can leverage this key data to see who was in the facility and when, in order to build a fuller picture of the operational risks.

Best Practices To make these measures effective, employers will need to implement certain general best practices around space utilization and hygiene in particular.

Some policies are a must-have: • Signage — Key to enforcing new policies and procedures, signage is a clear way to communicate evolving expectations.

• Hand Sanitization — Hand sanitizer stations must be readily available to all employees and everyone should be encouraged to wash or sanitize their hands often.

IN SECURITY | December 2020 | 27

Digitally activate social distancing, monitor engagement and movement

• Physically-Distanced Areas — Reconfigure seating to allow for appropriate social distancing, add signage on the walls and indicators on the floor to direct traffic flow, discourage in-person meetings, and temporarily close common-area amenities.

• Touchless Options — Wherever possible, eliminate processes that require touch, or limit them to a single individual. Work with service providers to identify and implement hands-free technologies and processes, especially at high-touch areas like doors and elevators.

• Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) — Health experts around the globe recommend that everyone wear a mask over their mouth and nose. At minimum, employers should make masks available to all employees.

• Increased Routine Cleaning — All frequently-touched surfaces should be cleaned and disinfected several times a day. That may include tables and doorknobs, light switches, desks, and phones.

PACS technology such as keypads and biometric readers likewise should be subject to frequent disinfection. Where possible, configure access control devices for contactless card or mobile use, rather than fingerprint or touch screen.

• Updated Visitor Policies — 28 | December 2020 | IN SECURITY

Implement visitor access policies that limit contact while on premise, include a health status questionnaire and/or temperature screen, and restrict unnecessary movement.

Moving Forward While the pandemic presents formidable challenges to building management and security, it also represents a unique opportunity.

In addressing the new needs around social distancing, contact tracing,

and space utilization, there is also the chance to examine access control in depth. A holistic view of PACS can help to create workplaces that are safe and secure, empowering building operators with the knowledge they need to minimize crowding, to trace the whereabouts of individuals, and to manage the use of space according to well-defined best practices.

SURVEILLANCE

Stadium security surveillance solution Security in record time for one of the largest stadium projects ever

S

ince its completion in 2017, the Gazprom Arena has served as the home ground stadium for the Russian football club Zenit St. Petersburg. And as one of the host stadiums for the 2018 FIFA World Cup and the 2021 Euro Football Championship, the Gazprom Arena must also satisfy the strict security regulations of FIFA, UEFA and ESSMA. When selecting the video security system, the managers responsible at Zenit therefore opted for a solution from the German manufacturer Dallmeier. With its

30 | December 2020 | IN SECURITY

patented PanomeraÂŽ multifocalsensor system, Dallmeier guarantees the security of many stadiums all over the world.

The objective was providing coverage with video security technology for the entire area surrounding the stadium, the entrance gate approaches, the rooms below grand stands, and the grand stands themselves in one of the largest video security projects ever undertaken in a football stadium.

Under enormous time pressure, a high-performance system had to be implemented in the stadium with a

capacity of 60,000 fans and yet had to remain adaptable and flexible in response to changing customer wishes as the project progressed.

Traceability of offenders through minimum resolution throughout the terrace area One requirement which from time to time presented the greatest challenge was capturing all areas of all the grand stands all of the time, so that unequivocal identification of offenders could be assured in all circumstances. In order to achieve this, the Russian Interior Ministry

stipulated two key requirements for the video security system: Firstly, it must capture the entire grand stand area with a “minimum resolution density” of 250 pixels per metre (px/m). This also corresponds to the performance criterion defined in the globally valid standard DIN EN 62676-4 for video security systems for purposes of enabling identification of an unknown person.

And secondly, the image frequency must not fall below a frame rate of 25 frames per second (fps). Because it is typically only the combination of the specified minimum resolution density and a fluid representation of events that can ensure incontestable evidence that is usable in a court of law.

Thanks to Panomera® the stadium solution from Dallmeier satisfies all criteria In order to meet these stringent requirements, the security managers invited a number of vendors to present their solutions in advance at Zenit’s former home ground – the Petrovsky Stadium – to enable them to choose the right solution for the Gazprom Arena. A Dallmeier video security system has already been operating in the Petrovsky Stadium since 2012, and after a thorough evaluation of all the solutions, the operators decided to install a stadium solution from Dallmeier in

the Gazprom Arena as well.

Because compared with conventional camera technologies such as megapixel or PTZ cameras for example, the patented Panomera® multifocal-sensor system from Dallmeier can guarantee coverage of even the largest expanses with the stipulated minimum resolution density and frame rate. And Panomera® systems continuously capture everything that is happening in full resolution and allow high-resolution zooms – both live and in the recording and by several operators at the same time.

This enables stadium operators to track and reconstruct relevant occurrences in detail both live and after the fact.

Dallmeier’s 3D planning guarantees the objective will be met with maximum cost efficiency Besides the technical superiority of the Panomera® technology, another decisive advantage of the Dallmeier stadium solution was the innovative 3D planning approach, with which a digital reproduction of the Gazprom Arena was created.

This makes it very easy to fulfil the requirement according to which at least 250 px/m must be assured literally “in every last corner”: colour coding in the 3D simulation makes it possible to see exactly where the value has been reached and where a correction should be made, perhaps by setting up in a another position or using a different camera model. A further major advantage of this planning approach is the

IN SECURITY | December 2020 | 31

extreme efficiency of the solution: For example, Zenit St. Petersburg is able to provide security on the terraces throughout the Gazprom Arena with way less than 100 Panomera® camera systems, covering all areas with at least 250 px/m and 25 fps. An alternative solution would have required a substantial four-figure number of conventional single-sensor cameras. Apart from enormously high infrastructure costs (masts, cables, etc.) this would also have generated a practically unmanageable deluge of images for the video system operators.

Another benefit of Dallmeier’s 3D planning programme is the automatic generation of “CamCards” – exact configuration documents for every single camera. Armed with this information, installers on site know exactly which camera must be mounted where, how high and at what angle. The big advantage besides the immense amount of time saved consists in the planning reliability: It can be predicted with great accuracy how much labour the installation of the total solution 32 | December 2020 | IN SECURITY

with entail, because this approach minimises uncertainty factors.

Thanks to Dallmeier’s unwavering assistance throughout the project, testing by the state technical personnel in Russia was also successful in the subsequent project phases, with the result that the stadium operators were able to begin operating the video security system after final project commissioning in good time for the 2018 FIFA World Cup. Today, over 1,000 single-sensor cameras have been installed in the Gazprom Arena in addition to the Panomera® systems – these safeguard the remaining areas of the stadium. Due to the large number of cameras, the total storage capacity for the video security system amounts to more than six petabytes (equivalent to about 6,000 TB). Highperformance recording appliances from Dallmeier are used to process this information. Authorised personnel from various departments and stakeholders can access the system at 80 workstations.

The Gazprom Arena is a thoroughly secure stadium – also thanks to Dallmeier The video security system from Dallmeier has provided ample evidence of its performance capabilities and reliability in the running of the Gazprom Arena, not least during the seven matches of the 2018 FIFA World Cup. On this subject, Karlheinz Biersack, Director Sales Eastern Europe/RUS/GUS at Dallmeier explains: “Of course we were delighted that the security managers of Zenit St. Petersburg also decided to rely on Dallmeier again for their new home, the Gazprom Arena.

This success in the largest stadium project we have ever undertaken shows once again that Dallmeier’s holistic security and solution approach – above all the patented Panomera® technology and our unrivalled project and consulting services represent an immense benefit for our customers.”

SYSTEM INTEGRATION

Tackling tomorrow’s workplace risks What we’ve learned in 2020 about smarter building use won’t be forgotten, writes Phil Campbell, European sales director of Quanika

O

ne of the positive outcomes from 2020, and all its stresses, is that questions around workspace optimisation have risen up the corporate agenda. There is a new awareness that buildings need to be used as efficiently as possible, whether they are part of complex, multi-site enterprises or smaller, more local operations.

In a telling report, JLL and

34 | December 2020 | IN SECURITY

Unwork predict that a number long term trends, coming together, are set to transform the way premises are used, trends including increases in computing power, the spread of IoT devices, ever more effective connectivity and the availability of vast amounts of data. The report paints a picture of a new digital ecosystem and, among other things, predicts that workplaces will increasingly need to provide previously unanticipated value.

Pressure to reduce property costs is a given, but there are many less obvious reasons why businesses need to optimise their workplaces – less obvious, but equally important.

These include enabling innovation, attracting talent, improving employee wellbeing and benefiting from the many intangibles that flow from creating an enhanced workplace.

Integrated systems are now an important tool to enable these improvements.

The rise of agile working Another trend accelerated over the last year is the rise of agile working spaces: environments that offer flexible spaces are becoming increasingly popular because they are designed for new ways of working, while also reducing space costs.

All this make it more important than ever to manage facilities efficiently. It’s recognised that when processes don’t run smoothly – when visitors have trouble finding parking spaces, when employees struggle to book meeting rooms or when contract staff can’t access networks - that impacts employee morale and productivity as well as the visitor experience.

The answer? By encompassing advanced visitor management capabilities, security and building occupancy solutions can now drive new efficiencies and tangible competitive advantage.

Yes, implementing agile working spaces requires a shift in mindset, but the step is a clear and logical one. The technology is now available that can capture and analyse data from multiple systems and devices to provide an overview of workspace usage and, importantly, a deeper understanding of workforce behaviour down to team level.

Futureproof platforms Access control and video data, desk, lighting, and network sensors can all be integrated into futureproof platforms that will allow organisations to track how different departments and teams use space not just each year or month but day-by-day. And it’s this aggregated data and business intelligence that will help plan fit outs with the right mix of desks and spaces, giving the ability to track efficiency, to make small incremental adjustments or quickly adapt to new operational demands.

Today’s business landscape is changing rapidly, and in almost every part of the economy we are seeing major challenges and disruptions.

Each business faces its own sector-specific pressures: retailers, most obviously, adapting to the challenges of e-commerce, oil giants facing hefty carbon taxes,

the education sector shifting to e-learning, healthcare providers treating increasingly aging populations as well as dealing with major public health crises.

And, above all this, organisations are being hit by wave after wave powerful global economic and technological forces, from the shift towards greater sustainability to the rise of artificial intelligence.

But all this disruption doesn’t have to be bad news. Along with all these challenges come very real opportunities.

An opportunity to eliminate silos Tech savvy organisations know that to evolve and adapt they need to eliminate disparate systems and silos of information, to give them improved insights and decisionmaking power and to let them better manage staff and facilities.

Just a few years ago it would have been impractical and unaffordable for many businesses to

integrate security systems beyond access control, surveillance and intruder, but today they can use the next gen software platforms that make it far more straightforward to connect with an array of security and life safety systems as well as back-office systems and prevalent databases.

And analysis from Data Bridge Market Research released in June backs this up, forecasting the systems integration market to rise an estimated value of USD 58.73 billion in 2018 to USD 90.82 billion by 2026, registering a CAGR of 5.6% in the forecast period of 2019-2026.

Enhanced protection and streamlined operations Even a minimal level of integration, such as pulling together access control and surveillance, makes security and safety operations simpler to operate from a single interface and offers clear advantages and a practical way forward for even

IN SECURITY | December 2020 | 35

for the most complex, multi-location organisation.

But going beyond this, today organisations can benefit from easy, off-the-shelf integration with dozens of building management systems – from elevator controls, fire detection and parking management to asset tracking – and streamline identity management by exchanging data with Microsoft’s Active Directory and other popular databases.

An easy-to-use, centralised system can reduce the burden of ensuring enterprise security from all angles and eliminate the need to deal with repetitive challenges, such as managing and responding to alarms and processing and analysing data from disparate systems.

Integrated solutions also offer remote access capabilities which allow security managers to maintain oversight away from the control room. Single or multiple facilities can be monitored from any location.

Benefits of end-to-end solutions Assimilating alarms from multiple systems also gives operators improved ability to visually verify notifications and automatically capture events using video. And streamlined reporting gives managers the required intelligence to implement changes quickly. Adopting the latest AI technology will also act as a force multiplier, and integrated 36 | December 2020 | IN SECURITY

solution will increase operational efficiency by allowing security teams to detect, verify and respond quickly and effectively with easy coordination and streamlined processes.

Next gen software that comes with off-the-shelf integrations is also helping tackle industry specific challenges. In the hospitality sector, for example, forward-thinking hotels can now integrate their front of house and back of house operations using Oracle’s OPERA to not only improve efficiency – reducing pressure on busy reception desks by automating aspects of check in and housekeeping, for example – but they can offer guests a significantly enhanced experience, with hasslefree arrivals and departures, and more efficient room service. That gives them a competitive advantage.

Sector-specific advantages In healthcare settings, it’s now much easier to divert medical teams and reallocate resources from hospital to hospital, with integrated systems that allow floating staff to work flexibly wherever they are needed.

We’re seeing a growing number of examples of this in action, and seeing how the resulting efficiency is helping healthcare providers manage times of peak demand more efficiently.

Ultimately, these solutions make life less stressful for individual medical workers too, making it easier for

them to access the right facilities and associated IT systems and networks, even when the location is unfamiliar to them, and cutting down on the effort it takes to get where they are needed.

In sectors from retail, finance and logistics, to manufacturing, integrators and technology vendors are delivering ever more capable, more flexible solutions. And they are making them applicable to for every type of medium-to-large business, from those that operate standalone large buildings and campuses to those with complex, dispersed, and multi-site estates.

Today, scalable, flexible, and futureproof solutions can be adapted to meet new requirements and changing priorities – new functions added for example - with minimal expense and disruption. And today it is faster than ever for engineers to develop new integrations using the latest architectures and APIs. This has reduced the time it takes to satisfy customers’ requests for new integrations from months to weeks.

This means that organisations can move as quickly as they need to by upgrading and scaling systems, to pivot operations and stay fully in control.

SECURITY EVENT

First Security Summit virtual event

I

Every difficulty creates new opportunities by Damir Muharemović

n a very challenging year for the security industry in which almost all events were canceled, Security Summit found a way to connect the market players. The innovative virtual platform, quality conference program and a large number of sponsors attracted as many as 2,084 professionals, which makes the Summit one of the most visited events in Europe this year.

Less than a year ago, when the Wuhan Health Commission initially reported a cluster of pneumonia cases, few could have guessed that the coronavirus epidemic, which was designated as such shortly thereafter, would fundamentally change the world. From the disbelief that this is actually something serious to the closing of borders, the introduction of a movement ban and the difficult movement of people and goods, mankind has experienced a sudden and radical turn for the worse that will have a strong effect

on public health and the economy.

All sectors, to a greater or lesser extent, experienced a decline. The security industry was no exception to this, although it could be said that it has been doing better than others so far. This is primarily due to the uninterrupted or even somewhat increased need of people, companies and institutions to be protected in times of uncertainty. In addition, according to a survey by the asmag. com portal, this was also ensured by the continued implementation of previously started and unfinished major projects.

It is difficult to reach new customers However, one segment of our industry has experienced a major decline, and that is the organization of trade fairs, conferences and other gatherings of security professionals.

All major and almost all minor events were canceled during this year. ISC West (planned in March),

Secutech Taipei (April), IFSEC (May), Innovation Summit (March), MIPS (April), Security Essen (September), ISAF (October), ISC East (November), Intersec Dubai (January) are some of the many events that have not seen the light of day. According to their spokespersons, the reasons for this were the desire to protect the well-being of employees, partners and visitors, government restrictions, difficult movement of people and goods, fear of attending large gatherings of people, increased price for visitors due to the need for COVID-19 testing and - perhaps the biggest obstacle for organizers - inability to maintain the same level of quality. The situation was the same in the region. All conferences were canceled, including Adria Security Summit as the largest regional annual gathering of security professionals. Originally planned to return to Sarajevo after Belgrade, Ĺ ibenik, Ljubljana and Skopje in

September 202, the restrictions imposed by the BiH government and blacklisting of the region due to the large number of infected people ruled out any possibility of organizing a live event. Our decision was preceded by a conversation with company managers and partners, who almost unanimously suggested that the event be postponed.

Moving to online space However, every difficulty gives birth to new opportunities. Being limited in the physical sphere, the world rapidly began to turn to online spaces. It all started with simpler internal trainings in companies through communication platforms, and continued with holding online conferences for slightly wider audiences of up to several hundred people. However, something bigger, different and better was needed for an event of the size and stature of the Security Summit. The idea came from a remote corner of the world.

Australian universities held the first virtual study fair this year, at which they had the highest turnout of potential students in their history.

Everything was done through a highly innovative platform, which simulated the physical spaces of a fair and conference. The user can simply log in and “enter� the exhibition hall with booths. There, at the virtual stand, he/she is greeted

by representatives of the university (in our case, the company), with whom the visitor can arrange a meeting via any communication platform. The booth also features all the promotional materials: brochures, professional articles, videos, business cards, necessary contacts and other information. In this way, the visitor can get all the necessary information which he/she came for, but also, most importantly, reach the relevant person from the management, sales, marketing, technical and business development departments. The process unfolds in both directions: company representatives can get an insight into the number and character of all visitors at an online trade event and request to talk to them about future cooperation. Everyone who registers must enter their data, which gives insights into the structural makeup of the visiting audience: the number of end users, integrators, installers, representatives of manufacturers or employees in other sectors, where they are employed, what the core business of the company is, which country it operates in, etc.

Among the largest European online events Innovative concept, creative design, straightforward and practical process and, above all, the reputation for quality and commitment that Adria

Security Summit has been building for years has attracted 2084 visitors, five hundred more than what we had at the last event in Skopje, which was the largest regional event of its kind! With this, the Virtual Security Summit has, in fact, gone a step further - towards the status of one of the largest European events in the security industry in 2020. Apart from the huge interest, this proposition is also supported by the fact that this was the first transition to the innovative virtual platform in our industry. Many were delighted with the simulation of the conference and exhibition halls and side event environments, as well as access to a fast, direct and informative platform for arranging meetings. True, some could not adapt quickly to a virtual environment from a technical point of view, which resulted in a slightly lower rate of meetings which were arranged but not held. This is why access to our b2b platform has been extended for another month, i.e. until December 1, in order to connect with all potential clients and partners.

International character The virtual edition of the Security Summit achieved enviable results in other statistical categories as well.

Compared to last year’s event which professionals from 32 countries took part in, this time the number more than doubled to 69 countries, making

this a truly international event. Most attendees were from Serbia (19.95%), Bosnia and Herzegovina (12.72%), Croatia (12.68%), North Macedonia (11.56%), Slovenia (8.47%), Romania 3.63%), Montenegro (2.95%), Italy (2.37%), Bulgaria (2.23%) and other 60 countries (12.39%).

When it comes to sponsors, 82 companies decided to support the event, set up a virtual booth and enjoy the opportunity to reach new customers and clients in an easier manner. We owe a special thanks to the companies that have been supporting the Security Summit for years and have done so in these challenging times. This year we enjoyed the support of: • Diamond sponsors: Alarm automatika, Bosch Building Technologies, Huawei, ISEO Serrature, Motorola Solutions (Avigilon) and ZKTeco • Platinum: HID Global and Axxonsoft • Gold: ACO, FLIR Systems, Hikvision Digital Technology, Honeywell, Konica Minolta, Ksenia Security, Partizan Security, Spica International and Vanderbilt & ComNet • Silver: ACTS, Advanced Electronics, A.f.p., Ajax Systems, AKSA Global, Akta, Anteus, Arcus, asmag.com, ASSA ABLOY, AVS Electronics, Balkan Security Services, Besa Security, Bettini Video, BOOIL SAFES, Bstarcom, BS Telecom Solutions, Cathexis Europe, Cominet E&C, CUBOX, D-Link, DVC, Ezy-works, FUJIFILM, 40 | December 2020 | IN SECURITY

BIOMETRIC SECURITY

Facing the inevitable Shaping the future of contactless door entry and access control by Julian Synett, CEO of Interphone Limited

S

aying that we are in immensely different circumstances to the ones we began the year with feels like a massive understatement and the shadow cast by the COVID pandemic is likely to be long and profound. Hygiene, infection control and risk mitigation have been placed under the spotlight like never before and this is going to having significant impact on how we approach access control and door entry systems now and in the future. Suddenly everyone is thinking again about contact based systems with managing agents having to completely re-evaluate how they

42 | December 2020 | IN SECURITY

manage access to properties in a COVID environment to protect residents and visitors.

Fingerprint recognition has become widely adopted technology in recent years across a multitude of access-related applications ranging from buildings through to personal gadgets. Within the commercial residential marketplace, it is recognised as a highly-secure and cost-effective solution with less of the risks associated with other door entry systems. The COVID crisis, however, has changed everything for contact-based biometrics systems with the focus switching to hygiene and reducing touchpoints that could

spread the infection.

While these hygiene concerns will diminish when we return to some semblance of normality, the pandemic is likely to result in some irreversible change. For example, how will managing agents approach access control in an environment where infection control has to be considered as of equal importance alongside the normal security considerations? A single person, infected with COVID or some other virus, using fingerprint scanner risks the welfare of all residents and visitors. With the virus surviving at least a number of hours on most surfaces, the contamination of

both public areas and individual properties will be rapid and potentially devastating.

Traditional fob and card systems, while in theory contactless, still possess many of the same issues as a fingerprint scanner because close contact is still required, and most people still touch the reader more often than not. This has led the marketplace to explore sanitary alternatives, such as iris and facial recognition, that contribute less to the spread of infections by completely removing any touchpoints. In fact, affordable retrofit solutions have been introduced that are compatible with most existing access control and door entry systems.

An iris or facial recognition door entry system uses unique data taken from the physical characteristics of a person, which cannot be shared or transferred to anyone else. With recent advances, a commercial residential property can now take advantage of this high-performance contactless system in an affordable manner. The latest AI technology means many solutions can identify faces in a matter of milliseconds, even from different angles, in lowlight at night, with various facial expressions or even when someone is wearing a mask.

This means managing agents can recommend a secure and hygienic solution with less of the health risks associated with other entry options. A host of other benefits are

also available when compared to card and fob systems. Appropriate access can be quickly added or removed electronically, so the risk of unauthorised access is substantially reduced. Lost, retained or cloned keys, cards and fobs can no longer be used by non-residents, while residents are unable to misplace or forget them causing unnecessary hassle to themselves and the property manager.

Iris or facial recognition technology can now be combined with thermal access and flow control, using the latest innovations in temperature monitoring and people counting, to gain added layers of hygiene and protection.

These advances are designed to assist in the identification of raised temperatures as well as with the flow of people entering and leaving a building at peak times, with the aim of creating a safer in-building environment and experience. It also reduces the need to physically deploy someone to carry out these functions, if required, such as a concierge or security guard.

However, there is no silver bullet technology for hygiene and infection control for commercial residential buildings, so managing agents will need to take a joined-up approach as part of a wider facilities management solution. For example, contactless biometrics does not solve the issue of access control for visitors, so only with a full-time concierge is it currently possible to admit them

without multiple entry touchpoints that pose an increased risk.

Meanwhile, managing agents are having to consider new ways of opening doors without residents and visitors having to touch anything on entry, otherwise the benefits offered by a contactless biometric solution are quickly diminished. Bringing together contactless biometrics with an automated door system is certainly one option for residents, but cost will ultimately become the deciding factor for many residents and buildings. Moving forward, we may see further innovation involving integrated sensors or foot pedals that can allow entry without the need to push or pull a door or use a handle.

Managing agents have a responsibility and duty of care to their residents, staff and other visitors, minimising the risk of infection from COVID and any future virus. While everything at some point will start to return to normal, the current pandemic will result in some permanent changes to how we view and deal with hygiene and infection control alongside security. This means that managing agents not only need to overcome the challenges presented by the current crisis, but also take steps to shape the future of contactless door entry and access control within the commercial residential marketplace.

Passion for innovation Whilst 2020 has been a challenging year in many respects, this has not stopped the drive for innovation in the door entry and security industry. In particular, Interphone’s gold partner Comelit has updated the Mini Handsfree WIFI Monitor to integrate with smart home automation, including Amazon Alexa, and offer high-performance facial recognition technology.

The Italian door manufacturer, originally launched the Mini Handsfree WIFI kits as an internal wireless upgrade to its exclusive SimpleBus system, alongside

complementing Quadra ViP and iKall metal external door entry solutions.

The Mini Handsfree WIFI system allows Alexa to announce that someone is at the door, while the facial recognition functionality allows residents to identify who is at the door. It has been designed with ease of installation in mind, with a clear interface allowing a connection between its monitor and configuration with Amazon Alexa to be achieved in just a few easy steps.

With colour monitors and indicator LEDs for incoming calls,

door open, privacy and pending messages as standard, homeowners will also always be able to receive and answer calls from video door entry on their chosen smartphone or tablet, via the latest updated version of Comelit’s app.

Comelit has also recently introduced its innovative, 100% Italian-designed Ultra modular entrance panel. As the thinnest on the market (just 100mm thickness for flush mounted versions,) Ultra has been developed to adapt to the most diverse applications, whether it be for an individual residence or a large apartment development.

With Ultra, Comelit has designed a futureproof panel that accommodates every building requirement. And still maintains Comelit’s pledge to ensure simple installation to enable more installers the chance to offer this smart technology, whilst embracing a commitment to passion, technology and design.
