From the Editor’s Desk

Volume I • Issue 8 • 1 March 2017 (102 pages including 6 for cover)

Dear Readers, Greetings from SecurityLink India! The recently elected Republican Government in America under President Donald Trump, is all set to strengthen bilateral security ties with India. The two countries have decided to continue their exchange programmes on the subjects of hostage crisis, terror crime scene probe and cybercrime. A delegation of officials from the US recently called on their counterparts in the Home Ministry in New Delhi and discussed ways to streamline the training programmes being conducted under the Anti-Terrorism Assistance (ATA) pact. The pact sanctions Indian police officers to undergo training programmes in US training institutes; also on two new courses relating to cybercrime and maritime security. Around 120-150 police officers from central police organisations and state police forces visit the US every year for training which may go up to 200 this year with the introduction of the two new courses. The Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) has reacted firmly to the recent media and social media trends that alleged breach of Aadhaar data, misuse of biometrics, breach of privacy, and creation of parallel databases etc. The authority clarified that any unauthorised capture of iris or fingerprints, or storage or replay of biometrics or their misuse is a criminal offence under the Aadhaar Act. The UIDAI uses one of world’s most advanced encryption technologies in transmission and storage of data and therefore, there has been no report of breach or leak of residents’ data out of UIDAI during the last seven years. Moreover, UIDAI is vigilant enough and continuously updating its security parameters, and looking at the new threats in cyber space. The Fire & Security Association of India (FSAI) co-organised their debut 3-day Fire Security India Expo (FSIE) 2017 in collaboration with NuernbergMesse from 23 to 25 February at India Exposition Mart, Greater Noida, as a part of a consortium of co-located events called Build Fair Alliance (BFA). The alliance includes Acrex, ISH, Glasspro, FSIE and Frontale India that showcases various components of intelligent buildings and infrastructure. This issue carries an interesting paper by Smart Cities Council India titled Video Surveillance in India, and a Moxa presentation on ‘Why Industrial IP Cameras Provide Better Performance.’ We also carry articles and forecasts by renowned authors/ market survey organisations. Till we meet next month, stay safe and happy reading! With warm regards,

Odisha Police Sets Benchmark in e-Surveillance Background

disha has largely been a peaceful state despite having its own share of problems; many parts of the state being dominated by the Naxalites, law and order remains a sensitive issue. To proactively track the activities around 20

police stations, Odisha police decided to equip itself with e-surveillance. The objective was not only to mitigate the corruption and suspicious activities, but also to keep track of suspicious elements and activities. Besides, the police administration wanted to ensure the fair SecurityLink India ■ 1 March 2017

Mission

disha police had to set a benchmark by ensuring its functions are transparent and people friendly. In a bid

CMYK

National Roundup

to modernize and ensure effective policing in various areas, they decided to secure police stations by installing closed circuit cameras (CCTVs). These police stations were selected based on their sensitivity and location. Besides, police wanted to safeguard the rights of the people after receiving many complaints of violations. They wanted to keep a close eye on agitations and demonstrations and record scripted incidences aimed at tarnishing the image of the police. The alternative significant objective was to bring about a change in the behavior of the police. Objective, tamper-proof video evidence indeed brings about a significant modification in the behavior of everyone concerned. This intuition has been backed up by psychological studies.

Solution

P PLUS team was fully aware of the tactical and situational surveillance challenges at police stations. The team had the challenging task of covering 200 police stations spread across 20 districts and observed that the risk for each po-

lice station varied from others. The team evaluated the risk and divided it into two parts – one was common risk and another was specific to that area. The local risk included, for example, frequent agitations by local public, loitering by anti-social elements, political agitations over local issues etc. The specific risk was based on the history of incidences and their recurrence. Further, the task was to ensure safety of the police staff proactively by tracking activities within and outside police stations. Equipped with the wide portfolio of CP PLUS products and solutions that offer the flexibility to design fool-proof design/ solution without any security compromise, the system architecture team came up with a tailor made solution. The solution involved the following items: ● CP-EAC-TY60MVFL8-E: High resolution high range vari-focal IR bullet camera – 80m. ● This is 600 TVL high resolutions analog IR camera with 12 Japanese LEDs and a capacity to view even in the dark up to 80m. Also has AGC,

AWB and BLC features that help to produce enhanced images in hostile environmental conditions. ● CP-UAR-0808Q2D-XU: 8 channel Full D1 1080P 1.5U standalone DVR. ● This is H.264 dual-stream video compression capable of delivering a Full channel D1 (4CIF) real-time recording. All channels can simultaneously playback and offer smart search. Smart video detection can report Motion Detection (MD), camera blank and video loss.

Result

he responsive and precise capabilities of the cameras and DVRs with the extended day/ night video resolution equipped police stations with a comprehensive all-weather 24x7 surveillance capability. The surveillance system equipped police stations with much required tactical and situational surveillance. After the huge success of first phase implementation, Odisha police is contemplating to deploy the system to cover other areas of the state as well.

“Compliance may be the number one operational challenge for Indian businesses – most businesses, for that matter, without network automation to streamline workflows, data collection and analysis, tracking and reporting, security teams simply can’t keep up with compliance requirements. On top of that workload, they must also be concerned with the needs of the business and the day-to-day protection of their organization.” – Sridhar Namachivayan Skybox Regional Director, India and SAARC 26

These challenges make security analytics and comprehensive network visibility vital to safeguarding the organization.” Growth in cybersecurity is being driven in part by the Indian government, which has recognized the need to strengthen the country’s cyber defenses. As part of its Digital India initiative, The National Critical Information Infrastruc-

ture Protection Center (NCIIPC) recently released 40 tenets to improve cybersecurity in organizations essential to the economy, health and defense of India. In addition to these new guidelines are a patchwork of existing regulatory requirements laid out by India’s Reserve Bank and Securities and Exchange Board, as well as the Institute for Development

and Research in Banking Technology (IDRBT) and the Payment Card Industry’s (PCI) Data Security Standard. Sridhar Namachivayan, Skybox Regional Director, India and SAARC offers advise to companies struggling to overcome these challenges, “Don’t just automate – automate with intelligence. Start with a foundation of complete network

visibility. Understand what it is you’re trying to protect, what is critical, the context of how your network and security controls fit together and how attacks could play out in your unique environment. Until you have that, automation may help you check a box in a compliance report, but it won’t keep your network safe.”

3rd Annual Middle East Cyber Security Summit

lobal organizations continue to grapple with cyber security challenges; with the convergence of Internet-connected things, there will be newer risks. These challenges are only likely to increase with the existence of less assertive regulatory and legislative agendas, and also the emergence of a new generation of ‘digital natives’ leading to an exponential rise in malicious code activities. With growth in demand for data centers and managed and cloud services expected to be in the double and triple digits, there appears to be significant opportunity in this segment of Saudi Arabia’s ICT market. Pressure on departmental expenditures in the public sector and a subsequent slowing of growth in the private sector could act as drivers for this expansion as customers seek costsaving synergies. However, there are also issues to address, including security fears, regulation and the development of

effective strategic partnerships. There is a sharp rise in spending in security technology, but without the necessary supporting investment in improving awareness, governance, and processes. ICT is set to play a pivotal role especially in the key areas like infrastructure for cloud services, data centers, disaster recovery, big data and analytics, mobility and security. If your firm provides one or more of the above services, this is one event you cannot afford to miss. This summit focusses on future expected threats and measures, also aims at global collaboration of public, private and academic sectors. This summit will attract over 200 CISOs, senior ICT and cyber security officials from the MENA region to discuss, find strategic directions and plans to tackle emerging threats to the global and regional information security sector.

Video Surveillance in India Challenges and Opportunities

ublic safety and security is not a novel phenomenon; however, the safe and secure city concept is being slowly adopted in India in recent years. The ambitious and inspiring Smart Cities Mission launched by the Government of India in 2015, with the ‘Smart City Challenge’ of building 100 smart cities over the next five years, is certainly going to boost the formation of safe and secure cities going forward. Security has remained one of the major issues in India. Even though public security and asset protection has been one of the top priorities for governments and organisations, the changing dynamics and complexities of the metropolis and cities need a closer and critical relook at the security. Against the multiple terrorist attacks and violent crimes, the advancing criminal intelligence system, and increasing dwelling of infrastructure across different cities, the demand for smart and intelligent security systems such as video surveillance systems in India has seen an increasing trend over the last few years, especially after the 2008 terrorist attacks in Mumbai.

Challenges of safe and secure city formulation

ndia’s vibrant democracy and healthy amalgamation of the socio-economic and cultural diversity is reflected in its cities. This also gives rise to complex and interrelated challenges that impend the adoption of the safe and secure cities vision. Various interconnected factors such as urbanisation, crime rate, socio-economic landscape, crime against women and children, traffic congestion, tourism, cybercrime etc., drive the need for a robust security system.

Urbanization and crime rate

hough urbanisation in India may look undersized in comparison to the world – 31 per cent compared to 54 per cent worldwide – however, there is considerable hidden urbanisation. According to the Agglomeration Index, an alternative measure of urban concentration, the share of India’s population living in areas with urban features in 2011 was over 55 per cent. This predominantly unorganised urbanisation (sometimes in the form of ghettos) is pressurising the existing civic infrastructure creating a severe competition over scarce resources in the cities, thus spurring violence and crime. Prevailing crime rate across various states and UTs in India is an important factor while analysing the challenges towards safe and secure cities formulation in India. The NCRB data in 2015 shows high crime throughout the country as well as its comparison with urban density. The states such as such as Delhi and Kerala, where high-density of urban population is correlating to high-crime rates, need immediate actions for transformation. Rapidly growing areas such as Da-

Traffic congestion

he increasing traffic density on city roads has led India to widen its existing roads, build new roads and construct flyovers. Yet, congestion on the roads and accidents are still a major problem. Ineffective new planning, deteriorating road quality and lax traffic management are causing traffic congestions. This brings an array of negative impacts including economic loss through delays, vehicle emissions, and increased fuel consumption. However, with technological innovations and traffic management systems, the issues can be resolved by reducing traffic congestion. Traffic Surveillance and Intelligent Traffic Management Systems (ITMS) along with the Command and Control Centres will provide tools to monitor, analyse and manage the growing traffic issues. CCTV systems also have capability to help generate E-challans for cities.

Tourism

long with the perception of safety of citizens, tourists’ perceived vision of the safety of the city is important, as tourism is a key sector, which has been increasing its contribution to India’s growing economy. Choosing a tourist destination is partly based on the city’s ability to provide a secure environment for its visitors. Hence, in order to develop and sustain quality tourism, cities must ensure their visitors are safe and favour peaceful coexistence with locals. With varied linguistic and cultural backgrounds of visitors, tourism further adds to security challenges. Tourism driven cities like Jaipur and Allahabad have taken the lead in providing innovative use of ICT for enabling better delivery of infrastructure and services including ITS for traffic signalling, smart signage, intelligent parking system etc., and surveillance systems including CCTV, panic buttons and mobile apps. Jaipur is aiming to cut the crime rate by half in the next five years to provide tourism a boost.

life cycle cost while making the purchase, even though the initial cost is higher. Lack of standardisation: The segment is also characterised by lack of standardization and an absence of a regulatory framework to oversee the quality of products being offered in the market. Lack of a common standard and the presence of varied products as well as technologies, are proving to be barriers in the integration, collaboration as well as the communication of various solutions. Customers’ preference: Rapidly growing customers’ preference for integrated solutions not only include setting up security infrastructure, but also involve back-end analytics and maintenance of infrastructure. Furthermore, it is leading to novel emerging business models, where provision of service rather than equipment sale is offered – where customers pay a monthly rent to the vendor for the maintenance of their entire security framework rather than incurring capital investment or Operations and Maintenance (O&M) costs.

Indian video surveillance scenario

any states such as Gujarat, Maharashtra and Delhi are at the forefront of video surveillance. However, many Tier-II and Tier-III cities as well have implemented high-tech safety solutions and are becoming lighthouse examples to inspire other cities.

Cutting-edge tech is transforming India´s temple towns

he Rath Yatra conducted at Puri, fetches a footfall of more than 4.5 million annually, against the city’s population of 0.4 million. Puri city authorities have to take care of issues such as central monitoring of the temple to control crowd influx, verifying abandoned objects, monitoring the 2.5km procession, crowd and vehicle management at entry points and checking crowd movements to avoid stampedes. The Schneider Electric team completed this task within two months. The company installed 220 cameras (Fixed and PTZ cameras), a central monitoring centre with video walls at the town police station (with 15 operator capacity), a command centre application for video analytics, Police Control Room (PCR) vans equipped with CCTV and GPS for the coverage of the city’s vital points and an automatic number plate recognition (ANPR) system to track vehicle thefts. With wireless surveillance, traffic vehicle counting helped in managing the flow. Similarly, crowd counting helped in understanding the gathering points for action.

Due to influx of foreign tourist and increasing curiosity from domestic tourists, many temple towns are witnessing huge crowds, which have led these towns to map blueprints spearheaded by the latest technologies. The cumulative business from the last three back-to-back Kumbh Melas, Allahabad (2013), Nashik (2015) and Ujjain (2016), was around Rs33,000 crore and these cities received around 220 million visitors in total. In Ujjain and Nashik, civic authorities have extensively used CCTV and centralized public announcement systems connected to loudspeakers. In addition, biometric attendance systems scrutinised access to staff members and uninterrupted video conferencing kept them connected with intra- and intercity management teams. In Ujjain four drone cameras, 256 watchtowers and 481 CCTV cameras at 125 different locations transmitted the realtime feed to the central control room through a high-speed optical fibre network. CCTVs at 11 entrance gates tracked visitor counts on normal and special days. Headcount cameras were used to manage crowd flow and divert people to other locations in case of congestion. In Nashik, the authorities relied heavily on CCTV and experimented with analyzing crowd density by using mobile phone signals reported by mobile towers in the city. Video walls at various places helped visitors gauge crowded areas and plan their routes accordingly. Other tech intervention, such as official apps, including panic button and wearable SOS device-based solutions helped visitors to map their route to alert police about emergencies in real-time.

Regulatory scenario

ith increasing external threats, both in terms of nature and scale, there is a growing conflict between the ‘need’ of the government and organisations to protect the national security, assets and people, and the ‘concern’ of protection of individual privacy.

Video surveillance and privacy

urveillance technologies have both enabled improvements in law enforcement and security, but at the same time created unresolved implications for privacy and civil rights. Today in India, crime and terrorism have shown a rising graph, be it the financial city, the capital city, tourist places or a holy place; video surveillance has become imperative. However, surveillance should be done in a well thought-out and discerning manner. CCTV surveillance though started expanding in the metro

About 41 per cent of the respondents rated the current storage capacity as fair or poor; while the overall surveillance system was rated higher on effectiveness and adaptability. Furthermore, about 55 per cent of the respondents disapproved the quality of the audio. Asked to prioritise the most important advance features/ functions for operational needs of the business, the ‘large storage capacity’ came up as the number one priority on the list of whopping 90 per cent of the respondents. It is evident that as the focus of the Indian consumer is shifting towards higher quality IP cameras with other advance features, providing innovative storage solutions to meet the exponentially growing storage capacity plays an important role in building safe and secure cities. Lack of professional expertise and high TCO o maintain the high rate of adoption of new technology requires professionals to continuously update themselves with changing technology. However, there is a shortage of skilled manpower to maintain smart security devices. This huge gap in the availability of qualified professionals to maintain security infrastructure is prompting organizations to shift to cloud computing and virtualization. Also, the initial investment for smart security devices is high, leading to a high TCO.

Lack of regulatory certainty he regulatory and compliance burden facing operators is changing rapidly. Regulatory attitudes toward consolidation remain a key factor as operators consider more rational market structures that can support long-term network investment. At the same time, regulatory frameworks themselves are shifting as convergence and disruption undermine traditional market and service provider definitions.

Cybersecurity risks ven though organisations are increasingly and widely using specialised software to automate processes with information technology security, cyberattacks are becoming more stealthy and sophisticated, creating a complex and dynamic risk environment for IT-based operations. These cybersecurity concerns will escalate in the future.

Survey Reveals

Getting SDN Live in the Data Center is Taking Longer Than Expected By Cliff Grossner – Ph.D., Senior Research Director & Advisor, Cloud and Data Center Research Practice, IHS Markit

HS Markit’s data center SDN survey provides insight into how cloud and telecom service provider data centers are evolving for SDN.

Data center SDN deployments going slowly

wo-thirds of the service providers participating in our 2016 survey are still conducting lab trials of data center SDN, down only slightly from threequarters in 2015. The number of respondents in production trials and live deployment in 2016 continued to be lower than expected by those taking part in the prior year’s study; see the chart below. Getting to live production is taking more time than expected. This means that the most innovation-driven part of the market critical for new revenue – SDN controllers, data center orchestration and SDN applications – is still wide open. Although the leaders in the SDN service provider data center market are becoming clearer, especially for physical network equipment, we do not expect the market to solidify until live deployments ramp.

● In the data center, lab trials for software-defined networking (SDN) are still dominant over production trials and live deployments. ● Service provider bare metal switching deployments have stalled, but more bare metal switches are in-use for SDN. ● Cisco and Juniper were named as the top data center SDN vendors by respondent service providers.

average, 24 percent of bare metal switch ports are in-use for SDN, up from 12 percent in the 2015 survey. The majority of bare metal switches are still being deployed at large cloud service providers (CSPs) because skilled programmers who are adept at dealing with bare metal switching are required to ensure success. By 2018, bare metal Ethernet switch ports in the data center are expected to reach 41 percent among operators surveyed. Service providers name Cisco and Juniper top SDN vendors.

The leaders in the service provider data center SDN market are solidifying for physical network equipment. In an open-ended question, we asked respondents whom they consider to be the top three data center SDN hardware/ software product vendors. Cisco, the big player in enterprise networking, was identified as a top-three vendor by 72 percent of respondents, while Juniper was named by 39 percent of respondents. Cisco continues to get traction with its SDN solutions, including with educational institutions providing online

IACP/ DuPont™ Kevlar® Survivors’ Club® Inducts 27 Officers in 2016 T

he International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP) and DuPont Protection Solutions announced recently that they inducted 27 officers to the IACP/DuPont™ Kevlar® Survivors’ Club® in 2016. The IACP/DuPont™ Kevlar® Survivors’ Club® honors law enforcement personnel who, in the course of protecting the communities they serve, have survived potentially debilitating or life-threatening incidents thanks to their body armor. The 2016 inductees include officers serving in Colorado, New York, South Carolina, Tennessee and other states. The situations they faced were as varied as the job of law enforcement itself, but the outcomes were the same: survival, the chance to return home to family and continue doing the jobs they love. “We look forward to working together with DuPont in the upcoming year to continue to raise awareness of the importance of officer safety practices,” said IACP President Donald W. De Lucca, Chief of the Doral, Florida, Police Department, “Through the Center for Officer Safety and Well38

ness, IACP is committed to looking at officer mental well-being, physical health and tactical safety through a diverse number of programs. DuPont has been a steadfast supporter of these efforts and is equally committed to keeping officers safe.” For more than 50 years, DuPont™ Kevlar® has helped keep law enforcement officers safe so they can in turn help keep their communities safe. The everyday dangers officers face while protecting the public make the increased use of body armor essential to reducing the likelihood of death and disability. “DuPont continues to be committed to research and development of new technologies with Kevlar® to help maintain the safety of law enforcement personnel and improve their chances of survival in the event of life-threatening situations,” said Steve LaGanke, Global Marketing Manager, Kevlar® Protection, “We’re dedicated to helping protect those who protect us.” Founded in 1987, the IACP/DuPont™ Kevlar® Survivors’ Club® has, to date, honored well over 3,000 officers SecurityLink India ■ 1 March 2017

Building on successful pilot trials, including six-months at a top Middle East institution, MAXDashboard DI is attracting strong interest from leading organisations who want to improve inhouse security capabilities while getting more value from their operational, human resources and building management processes. Designed by Maxxess, the flexible, feature-rich solution uniquely combines multiple data inputs, including access control feeds, with powerful big data intelligence, analytics and algorithms, to

“Conventional security monitoring is based on a reactive response to historic events. MAXDashboard DI completely disrupts this model. It puts the power oflive, real-time monitoring directly into the hands of your organisation. By giving you customised views of your entire site, with the ability to drill down to the granular detail you need, it instantly visualises how your vital security and operational processes are working, while flagging what might require more attention. Furthermore, by combiningmultiple information feeds with powerful big data analytics, MAXDashboard DI brings a rich wealth of data to life, transforming it into previously unseen intelligence to drive more value from your existing security and operations investments.” – Lee Copland Managing Director, Maxxess, EMEA create customised displays with tailored filters that deliver dynamic live reporting about the movement of people on-site. Data is continuously gathered from multiple sources – then mined, processed and cross-referenced in real-time with a wide range of human behaviour patterns – both general and specific to individual profiles – to identify anomalies and trigger alerts about potentially suspicious or

unauthorised activity outside the norm. As a highly versatile, open-source solution, MAXDashboard DI is vendoragnostic, so can be seamlessly integrated with any existing security system. It is available as a pay-as-you-go service and is highly scalable. Without upfront capital costs or technical barriers, it can be up, running and delivering results fast. Because each organisation is different, rules and reporting filters are customised to suit precise requirements. The intuitive dashboard displays instant, at-a-glance visibility of key metrics to maximise ease-of-use by non-expert, in-house teams. This makes it easy to monitor the 24/7 presence, location and movement of people on site, whether employees, contractors, guests, delegates, visitors or the public, including precise time of arrival and exit, routes and dwell times. This greatly improves operational efficiency, to quickly verify, for exam-

ple, that the right number of contractors have checked in to work; precisely how many cardholders are present on different sites; if the number of visitors at an on-site event matches registration criteria; and that people’s presence in different parts of the site complies with their permitted status – including duration of visit and access rights. With self-learning algorithms, the system continuously recalibrates its criteria based on the latest, most relevant

data. It also references actual behaviours against known norms. For instance, if a specific employee changes their regular route in and out of a building, undertakes unusual activity on the corporate network or accesses the site during a scheduled vacation, these could trigger alerts for investigation. The dashboards can also enhance operational processes such as identifying when parts of a building are most – or least – active; peak visitor flow times;

or the average Wi-Fi usage per session. This gives teams the intelligence to adapt processes, configure networks and adjust building management systems accordingly to optimise savings and efficiencies.” Based on open system protocols, MAXDashboard DI can take data from any standard source including all access control systems from any manufacturers with no need for bespoke integration.

Consumers Increasingly Aware of Online Security Risks, but hold Businesses Responsible for Data Breaches, Finds Gemalto Study

emalto recently released the findings of its 2016 Data Breaches and Customer Loyalty report, revealing that consumers put responsibility for protecting their personal data firmly at the hands of the organizations holding their data – and not themselves. According to the 9,000 consumers surveyed in Australia, Benelux, France, Germany, Russia, UAE, Saudi Arabia, India, Japan, United Kingdom, and United States, 70% of the responsibility for protecting and securing customer data lies with companies and only 30% of the responsibility with themselves. Yet, less than a third (29%) consumers believe companies are taking protection of their personal data very seriously. This comes as consumers are becoming increasingly fearful of their data being stolen, with 58% believing it will happen to them in the future. More than 4.8 billion data records have been exposed

since 2013 with identity theft being the leading type of data breach accounting for 64% of all data breaches.

Where consumers see most risk

espite becoming more aware of the threats posed to them online, only one in ten (11%) believe there are no apps or websites out there that pose the greatest risk to them and consumers are not changing behavior as a result: ● 80% use social media, despite 59% believing these networks pose a great risk. ● 87% use online or mobile banking, with 34% believing they leave them vulnerable to cybercriminals. ● Consumers are also more likely to shop online during busy commercial periods such as Black Friday and Christmas (2% increase online versus -2% decrease in store), despite 21% SecurityLink India ■ 1 March 2017

admitting the threat of cybercrime increases a lot during these periods.

Consumer attitudes on data breaches

early six in ten (58%) consumers believe they will be a victim of a breach at some point, and organizations need to be prepared for the loss of business such incidents may cause. The majority of consumers who currently use the following, say they would stop using a retailer (60%), bank (58%) or social media site (56%) if it suffered a breach, while 66% say they would be unlikely to do business with an organization that experienced a breach where their financial and sensitive information was stolen.

ed 21% of consumers, with others experiencing fraudulent use of their personal details (15%) and identity theft (14%). More than a third (36%) of those who have been a victim of a breach attribute this to a fraudulent website. Clicking a bad link (34%) and phishing (33%) were the next highest methods consumers were caught by. In keeping with the theme of putting the blame at the organization's hands, over a quarter (27%) attributed the breach to a failure of the company's data security solutions.

Lack of security measures influence consumer confidence

he lack of consumer confidence could be due to the lack of strong security measures being implemented by businesses. Within online banking, passwords are still the most common authentication methods – used by 84% for online and 82% for mobile banking,

● Only 30% of consumers believe companies are taking their personal data protection very seriously. ● 58% of consumers fear they will be victims of an online data breach. ● 66% would be unlikely to do business with organizations responsible for exposing financial and sensitive information. and more advanced transaction security the next highest for both (50% and 48% respectively). Solutions like two-factor authentication (43% online and 42% mobile) and data encryption (31% online and 27% mobile) trail behind. Similar results can be seen in both the retail space, with only 25% of respondents that use online retail accounts claiming two-factor authentication is used on all their apps and websites, and in social media, with only 21% using the

authentication for all platforms. Only 16% of all respondents admitted to having a complete understanding of what data encryption is and does. “Consumers have clearly made the decision that they are prepared to take risks when it comes to their security, but should anything go wrong they put the blame with the business,” said Jason Hart, CTO, Data Protection at Gemalto, “The modern-day consumer is all about convenience and they expect businesses to provide this, while also keeping their data safe. With the impending threats of consumers taking legal action against companies, an education process is clearly needed to show consumers the steps they are taking to protect their data. Implementing and educating about advanced protocols like two-factor authentication and encryption solutions, should show consumers that the protection of their personal data is being taken very seriously.”

Fingerprint Sensors to Reach Nearly One Billion in 2017 By Jamie Fox – Principal Analyst, IHS Markit

Bottom Line

● Fingerprint sensors are in an explosive growth phase and can expected to be a standard feature on most

mid- and high-end smart phones from 2017 onwards. These mid- and high-end smart phones have driven the market so far. However, growth

SecurityLink India ■ 1 March 2017

from 2017 and 2018 onwards will also rely more on usage in low-end smart phones, notebooks and tablets. ● The period of fastest growth was 2015 and 2016, with more than 60 percent growth each year in sensor unit shipments. Annual growth from 2016 to 2020 is forecast in the range of 10 to 25 percent each year as the mid- and high-end smart phones markets saturate. ● 797 million sensors are estimated to have been shipped in 2016, with the majority (89 percent) in smart phones as well as some in tablets and notebooks. Apple shipments are in-

cluded in this number. Other leading suppliers are Fingerprint Cards, Synaptics and Goodix. ● In 2017, the market is forecast to grow to 990 million units.

Outlook and analysis

● Other biometric solutions, such as iris, have entered the market in much smaller quantities and are sometimes used to complement, rather than replace, a fingerprint solution. Fingerprint sensors have become very accepted, very slick and easy to use, and are here to stay.

● An estimated 29 percent of sensors shipped for smart phones were for Apple iPhones, with 21 percent for Samsung smart phones. The majority of the remainder was for Chinese suppliers such as Huawei, Oppo and Xiaomi who have grown in 2016 both in smart phone market share and faster adoption of fingerprint sensors. ● A key market trend is the expected move to under-glass sensors. This provides an opportunity for optical and ultrasonic sensors in the market, as capacitive sensors can only pass a

signal through 300 microns of glass compared to 800 or 1000 for a typical display thickness. However, capacitive sensors dominated the market with a 99 percent share in 2016. ● Fingerprint sensors are primarily used for device login and can also be used for payment security. Mobile phone use for making payments has greatly increased in China in the last two years. ● Swipe sensors have exited the market (less than 1 percent in 2016), with touch sensors now accounting for 99 percent of the market.

PSIM Review and Forecast

for 2017

By Keith Bloodworth – CEO, CNL Software

or CNL Software, 2016 was another big expansion year, we beat market growth forecasts by a sizable margin for the second year in a row. With increased head count, globally, and escalated sales in both the US & EMEA, the company has solidified its position as one of the technology leaders in the global PSIM market. We not only grew our number of staff, offices, customers and partners in the last 12 months, but we also developed a greater understanding of what is valuable to our partners and clients. We recognize and sincerely thank our sales partners, without whom, we would have not achieved this level of growth.

The PSIM market in 2016

n a year where national security has been shown to be relatively powerless against the evolving threat of small terror cells, the need for coverage of large scale CCTV, both public space and private has never been greater. At a time when almost all police and mass 50

transit operations are facing reduced budgets for security operations, meaning fewer feet on the street, there has been an increased focus on the use of technology, using digital ‘eyes’ as a force multiplier for officers and guards. These eyes on the street, work 24/7/365 with a low cost of maintenance and little intervention required. The may not prevent attacks, but they can assist investigations and the apprehension of offenders. With the increased requirement for CCTV, however, comes the need to rapidly retrieve footage from both public and private systems along with the problem of integrating ‘legacy’ systems, which, in many cases, is best served by a PSIM solution. This is not in itself, a Safe City solution, but it is a surveillance solution that forms a vital part of a much wider Safe City program. PSIM is a smart way to connect vast numbers of DVR/ NVR/ CCTV systems, from multiple vendors, to retrieve video of interest for distribution to the force operatives who require the SecurityLink India ■ 1 March 2017

information. What has been significant in 2016 is the growing number of law enforcement agencies around the world who now acknowledge that the best solution comprises public/ private co-operation as well as use of phones, drones and whatever technology gives them access to video most accurately and/ or quickly. With market analysts across the board predicting very high growth in the PSIM market – on average about 25%, but some as high as nearly 35% CAGR, the question is not if PSIM has a value proposition, but how do the Systems Integrators (SIs) engage and work with the PSIM vendors. There are currently only a limited number of real PSIM ‘enabled’ SIs, who can handle from sales enquiry through to implementation and maintenance support. The challenge to system integrators has been the large, complex, one off solutions that require ongoing maintenance and development, where not just security and facilities are involved, but increasingly business process as well.

Those who have been working with PSIM are seeing the benefits of their investment with increased revenue, increased margin as well as improved customer relationships.

Predictions and observations for the 2017 PSIM market

any of the higher end Video Management Systems (VMS) and Access Control Systems (ACS) manufacturers have added 3rd party integration capability to their solutions, partly due to market need and partly to compete with entry level PSIM players, who mainly offer a ‘Common Operating Picture’ without much added intelligence, custom GUI designs or workflow. Entry level PSIM vendors are finding it harder to demonstrate additional value to the market as the integrated solutions from mainstream VMS companies have an increasingly good offering at that level. We predict the demise of some of the ‘pseudo’ PSIM vendors in 2017, as well as an increase in the entry PSIM market share taken by VMS vendors. We expect to see ongoing significant growth for Enterprise level PSIM vendors, where PSIM is a customized, mission critical solution for the client, with tailored user interfaces, workflows and standard operating procedures. Here PSIM is widely recognized as a requirement of all high-end integration programs, particularly in the Critical Infrastructure Protection, mass transit, Oil and Gas, nuclear and Homeland Security markets.

Market consolidation and specialization

he overall acquisition trend continued during 2016, resulting in

more major consolidation taking place. Larger global players led on the acquisition front, particularly of IP based vendors, examples being Konica buying Mobotix, Honeywell acquired Xtralis and Axis buying 2N, an emerging IP based intercom vendor as well as Cognimatics, a video analytics specialist in retail solutions. M&A has been on the rise for some years and this year has given the security world one of its largest upheavals with JCI tying up with Tyco, making a seriously large global player, and potentially one of the few global System Integrators. From the end users view, it is good that these leading market players are buying exciting new technologies, in turn making them more accessible through their larger distribution networks. It may seem odd that Securitas for example has bought an integrator (Diebold) as they are best known for their man guarding business, but perhaps it is time that companies hiring out security staff will be investing in supplying high value technology solutions that could supplement the man guarding element of their offerings, providing more value to their clients.

PSIM + Analytics = Increased Efficiency

016 saw the return of several highly promising technologies which have failed to deliver to the security market the first time around. Most notably, video analytics is back, especially embedded in the camera for live detection or as a forensic tool to retrieve video clips needed for post incident investigations. Where this becomes interesting is the use of mixed technologies from multiple vendors to build an end user application, as required and defined by SecurityLink India ■ 1 March 2017

CMYK

What has been significant in 2016 is the growing number of law enforcement agencies around the world who now acknowledge that the best solution comprises public/ private co-operation as well as use of phones, drones and whatever technology gives them access to video most accurately and/ or quickly. a client. This is how PSIM and other 3rd party vendors, particularly analytics can offer huge reduction in operations, costs and time by allowing automation in event identification and process. Analytics used on their own are not a solution, but as part of a wider, more encompassing operation, can add detection and tracking as well as identify from vast amounts of video data from multiple vendors.

Security assets saving operational costs – watch this space in 2017

major development this year has been the mixed use of security assets to support business operations. CNL Software has previously deployed rail transit solutions with operational as well as security benefits, but in 2016, we saw this strategy adopted by port and airport end users. Now, mobile phone and tablets are used to communicate to and from the control room, 51

We expect to see ongoing significant growth for Enterprise level PSIM vendors, where PSIM is a customized, mission critical solution for the client, with tailored user interfaces, workflows and standard operating procedures. Here PSIM is widely recognized as a requirement of all high-end integration programs, particularly in the Critical Infrastructure Protection, mass transit, Oil and Gas, nuclear and Homeland Security markets. managing operational incidents in the field such as accidents, equipment maintenance and logistics etc. In this way, security assets are used to support business operations and pave the way for even further investments in security technology as it is supporting the business mission. This ‘business’ critical element will remain the domain of Enterprise PSIM vendors.

Drones: The doubleedged sword

ast emerging in the first responder community is the use of low cost drones, which can be deployed and utilized as fast and geo flexible CCTV cameras for incident management of all types. However, this evolving technology needs to be managed, to provide the required information on the situation as the right time and technology is now required in the command and control room for identification and bidirectional use of this geo located video – hence the need for even smarter PSIM solutions with the ability to take the workflow elements out of the field and in the hands of operations staff. The problem for many control rooms is that drones are also in the hands of the criminals, so detection and elimination will also come to the control room. One 52

of the major benefits here for PSIM is the ability to rapidly change and add new technologies in a fast-changing world.

Federated solutions for larger enterprises

sers of multiple numbers of control rooms are now looking for them to be aggregated and managed from a central command facility, maintaining both local and centralized operations. CNL Software has several very large examples, where this is now in use and is having a huge ROI on deployment, management of the assets, Enterprise wide updating as well as managing all the required information at all points in the enterprise. DHS, armed forces, government and ministries are obvious areas in need of this federated approach to PSIM, and this is set to grow as a specialization in the next few years. It is already a complex market for high end command and control solutions, however, it is perfect replacement for expensive bespoke solution.

Tackling the cyber front

o predictions would be complete without mentioning cyber secu-

rity, especially considering recent attacks. Today, cyber represents one of the biggest threats to security as large scale aggregations increase the threat surface. Partnerships are becoming catalysts for co-operation between cyber vendors and physical security specialist, to offer end users a complete solution. CNL Software, as founder members of the IoT Security Foundation, is working with the cyber industry to both understand and meet the challenges of today and tomorrow. We do not, however, believe we should be a cyber vendor, just encompass the best solutions via our PSIM platform.

Final words

n 2017, Enterprise PSIM will continue to raise its game in areas that were once the reserve of defense contractors and semi military companies. Further expansion into C2i will see greater levels of intelligence, including tracking, slew to cue, aggregation of sonar and radar, mass communications, 3D, Federated systems and custom built applications such as incident management, for specific verticals. Many of these will be at a scale that only dedicated PSIM products will perform, both defining and confirming the requirement for PSIM in verticals where security hugely impacts business efficiencies. PSIM will oppose the industry trend and in contrast to other security systems, its greater capability and value creation will drive its growth as opposed to ever reducing prices. Will 2017 be the breakthrough year for PSIM? Perhaps not, but it will be the year that many of the global SIs start to define strategies for their participation in this growing market – both in importance and revenues.

Cloud and SaaS break legacy IT security models – Data security with encryption and access controls across environments is required

n this age of the cloud and SaaS enterprise deployments, more and more enterprise data is being created, transported, processed and stored outside corporate network boundaries, making traditional perimeter-based security controls and legacy network and endpoint protection solutions increasingly less relevant. Other new, popular technologies also bring added security challenges. For example, nearly 40 percent of respondents are using Docker containers for production applications. At the same time, 47 percent cite security as the ‘top barrier’ to broader Docker container adoption. Peter Galvin, Vice President of Strategy, Thales e-Security says, “Enterprises today must inevitably confront an increasingly complicated threat landscape.Our world, which now includes the cloud, big data, the IoT and Docker, calls for robust IT security strategies that protect data in all its forms, at rest, in motion and in use. Businesses need to invest in privacy-by-design defense mechanisms – such as encryption – to protect valuable data and intellectual property and view security as a business enabler that facilitates digital initiatives and builds trust between partners and customers.” To offset the data breach trend and take advantage of new technologies and innovations, organizations should, at a minimum, adhere to the following practices: ● Leverage encryption and access controls as a primary defense for data

Why Industrial IP Cameras Provide Better Performance By Harry Hsiao – Product Manager, MOXA

Overview

lthough most CCTV surveillance applications around the world continue to use commercial grade IP cameras to remotely monitor traffic intersections or valuable assets outdoors, commercial grade IP cameras simply were not designed for use in harsh outdoor environments.

Unlike commercial grade IP cameras, industrial grade IP cameras are specifically designed to withstand the toughest conditions mother nature, or ruthless vandals, throw at them. Topics discussed in this white paper include: ● The importance of reliable CCTV surveillance. ● Benefits of industrial grade IP cameras. ● How industrial IP cameras ensure reliability.

surveillance system can be prohibitively expensive. Global warming is making hot days hotter, cold days colder, rainfall and flooding heavier, hurricanes stronger and droughts more severe. Therefore outdoor environments are becoming more and more challenging. The majority of installed cameras seen around cities or deployed outdoors are commercial grade. Unable to withstand harsh outdoor environments, these cameras are subject to frequent breakage and failure. Outdoor environments require an industrial grade camera which can perform reliably and provide constant video stream when confronted with the harsh, wide-temperature conditions seen in ITS, railway track side, and oil & gas environments. Industrial grade cameras guarantee reliability and quality as industrial grade components are selected and during manufacturing process, cameras undergo industrial-strength testing and inspections. In this paper, we will describe the reasons and benefits of industrial grade cameras. Using industrial grade cameras

How industrial grade IP cameras ensure reliability

oxa’s industrial grade IP cameras provide reliability and quality because strict measures are taken at each phase of product development, from selecting materials to conducting a 100% product inspection. Moxa’s entire IP camera line is produced with the same consistent rugged design because only high quality, industrial grade materials and components are selected. The thermal design in Moxa’s IP camera allows reliable operation under -40 to 75° extreme environments without heater and fan. Moxa’s IP cameras are also IP66 and IK-8/10 (EN 62262) rated, which means the cameras are water and dustproof, vandal-resistant, and protected against shock and vibration. When testing for industrial-strength, each Moxa industrial grade IP camera undergoes 40 hours of cyclic and wide temperature burn-in tests. The key component tests also involve 20+ days and 200+ hours burn-in of the lens and IP camera motor respectively. After assembly, each Moxa IP camera undergoes a 100% product and quality inspection, meaning all of the camera’s functions are tested, such as 58

the light sensor, light and dark spots, and color calibration. During operation testing, cameras are chambered and burnedin from 6 to 40 hours, between 60° to 75°C. Unlike commercial manufacturers, Moxa’s core competence includes building robust devices for use in harsh

industrial environments. This experience has given Moxa a wealth of expertise in thermal design and building rugged devices. A prime example is the VPort 36-1MP, which is the world’s first outdoor IP camera, with an operating temperature range of -40 to 75°C without using a heater or a fan. Each part of the VPort 36-1MP was built with thermal performance and reliability in mind, from the proprietary heat sink to PCB component layout to chip selection. This ruggedness allows these VPort cameras to excel in oil and gas, rolling stock, and Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) applications. Although speed dome cameras have also become popular, not many manufacturers can produce them due to the complex nature of the technology. Moxa released its first industrialgrade PTZ speed dome camera, the VPort 66-2MP in 2015. Setting a higher standard for robust engineering, the industrial-grade VPort 66-2MP features a vandal-proof design, along with IP66 rain and dust protection, and a NEMA 4X type form factor to assure absolute reliability in helping protect people, secure property and maintain safe, efficient processes.

New Samsung Wisenet P Series Panoramic 180° Camera With Unique H.265 & Wisestream Compression Hanwha Techwin has further broadened its Samsung Wisenet P series with the introduction of a 7.3 megapixel 180° panoramic camera

esigned for monitoring large open areas with just one camera, the PNM-9020V is equipped with multisensors which enable it to capture superb quality seamlessly stitched 180° images. Four 2MP images with 3.6mm lenses work in harmony to produce the 180° composite images. This is achieved with the help of a synchronised alignment lever located in the centre of the camera which raises and lowers the sensors in unison to facilitate easy set up. “The PNM-9020V’s high definition and panoramic capabilities means endusers can achieve an exceptionally high return on investment (ROI), as it can perform the work of three or four standard HD cameras and so deliver significant savings on camera purchasing and installation costs,” said Tim Biddulph, Head of Product Management for Hanwha Techwin Europe.

Key features

n addition to being equipped with digital PTZ, the PNM-9020V, which

is IP66 and IK10 rated for vandal-resistance and outdoor use in the harshest environments, shares many of the innovative, practical features with the four other models in the Wisenet P series. These include Digital Auto Tracking, True Wide Dynamic Range, and Lens Distortion Correction to deliver optimised images in every situation. Also provided is bi-directional audio support, privacy masking, a 12V DC, PoE capability and an SD card slot to ensure that video is automatically recorded in the event of network disruption.

Open platform

ideo analytics such as heat map, virtual line, enter/ exit and appear/ disappear are provided as standard, whilst the power of the open platform DSP chipset built into PNM9020V provides end-users with the flexibility to run edge-based video analytics which matches their individual requirements.

Unique WiseStream technology

ompleting the long list of innovative features built into the PNM-9020V is WiseStream, a complementary compression technology which dynamically controls encoding, balancing quality and compression according to movement in the image. Bandwidth efficiency is improved by up to 75% compared to current H.264 technology when WiseStream is combined with H.265 compression. This ensures that Hanwha Techwin Europe’s new Wisenet P series is one of the most bandwidth friendly camera ranges available.

trouble, a reliable recording system supporting multiple channels at once with long-term recording capability would be something to take into account when it comes to project requirement. Surveon offers a performance-driven solution with high throughput and long recording day, not only supporting hundreds of channels with more than one-year nonstop recording but also ensuring all cameras can be recorded and viewed reliably, giving partners a powerful weapon to increase the chance for tender winning. Projects like government institutions, casinos, commercial buildings, and factories are complex scenes involving people and movement every day. Therefore, deploying security systems at a higher level is a must for these public places. Surveon’s performance-driven solution offers high throughput and expandable storage to support hundreds of channels with long-time recording. Among Surveon NVR selection, the Milestone VMS pre-loaded NVR7800

Series or mission critical storage NVR7300 Series could be the options in such applications. Different from traditional system structures composed of recording server plus a separate storage device, NVR7800 and NVR7300 Series are designed as a recording server with an archiving function, providing partners more cost-effective choices. Besides, the built-in SAS port connection for JBOD expansion enclosures allows the system to scale up to 316HDDs, making NVR7800 and NVR7300 Series ideal for medium-large scale projects in need of long-time recording. The NVR7800 Series with Milestone VMS can support up to 150CH 3MP cameras recording, more than twice Milestone’s benchmark level in a non-stop recording scenario. The MTP report shows that NVR7800 Series delivers a high level of recording throughput of nearly 2000 Mbps, ensuring smooth live viewing and recording. Besides, NVR7800 Series is also fully

compatible with Genetec VMS, serving 300 CH 1.3MP cameras with continuous recording or 190 CH 1.3MP cameras with motion detection recording based on the internal test result. In addition to the Window OS in NVR7800 Series, NVR7300 Series comes with Linux OS plus Surveon enterprise-level VMS, supporting up to 128CH 5MP cameras with non-stop recording and delivering total 768 Mbps recording throughput, giving partners one more option to meet requirements for potential surveillance tenders. Surveon performance-driven solution with high throughput and long recording day has been adopted in some vertical solutions, such as KL Tower, the highest building in Malaysia, requiring 120-day non-stop recording on the site. Another success case would be the airline catering service provider in Hong Kong, who is also satisfied with the fulfilment of continuous recording for 180 days.

Milestone Releases Highest Performing VMS Ever

The first product update of 2017 enables record-breaking performance for XProtect users, lower hardware costs and lower total cost of ownership. Cybersecurity is another focus in the new version of the award-winning VMS

ilestone Systems has released XProtect 2017 R1. Milestone is committed to delivering three VMS product releases every year, in addition to bi-monthly device pack releases supporting third-party devices. This frequent release schedule will ensure Milestone’s rapid response to market and Milestone community needs.

Highest VMS performance

hanks to the true open platform technology in XProtect, Milestone can rapidly respond to community needs and enable cost-efficiency in large installations. For XProtect, this entails a recording server performance of 3.1 Gigabit/S. This high performance level

enables Milestone community partners to offer large solutions using a reduced number of servers, or even smaller servers. This contributes to hardware costs savings and a simplified infrastructure. In short, it significantly reduces the total cost of a Milestone solution. SecurityLink India ■ 1 March 2017

task of decoding (rendering) video is offloaded to the dedicated graphics system (GPU) inside the processer, leaving the main processor free to take on other tasks. The GPU is optimized to handle computer graphics and video, meaning these tasks will be greatly accelerated. Using the technology in servers can save even more expensive computer muscle. Hardware-accelerated video motion detection is new in XProtect 2017 R1 another industry first for VMS software. Customers can have twice as many cameras on the same server with the same CPU load, or experience up to 90 percent reduction in the CPU load with the same number of cameras on the server. This use of hardware acceleration lets mid- to large-scale installations experience improved performance at a lower hardware cost. Hardware acceleration was already implemented in the XProtect 2016 Smart

Client. This provided an 80 percent reduction in the processor load on computers with selected Intel processors, firmware, drivers and Microsoft operating systems. This paves the way for the use of 4K cameras and processing-intensive video compressions like H.265.

New cybersecurity features

s video management systems are becoming more and more business-critical, cybersecurity is a natural focus. In 2016, Milestone launched several initiatives aimed at strengthening security in Milestone software. Like the Hardening Guide that details how an XProtect installation can be better secured against cyber threats and the Kerberos strict user-verification in XProtect. The XProtect 2017 R1 update includes several security enhancements for improved cybersecurity, including

two-step verification and greater control when granting user permissions for the Milestone Advanced VMS products. Two-step verification is an industryfirst security feature for XProtect 2017 R1. It is designed to prevent unauthorized access to the VMS when a password is compromised, as a code from the user’s mobile phone is needed to complete login. Keeping VMS systems isolated from the Internet is one important element when it comes to keeping a high security level. XProtect Smart Maps (introduced last year) now include support for OpenStreetMap offline maps: This means that customers with offline installations can take advantage of improved situational awareness by using maps, without exposing their XProtect system to online threats. XProtect 2017 R1 is available to the Milestone community now.

3xLOGIC VIGIL Central Management Software Creates Solid RMR for Integrators Integrator partners report growing results for VCM in exceeding end user needs

xLOGIC, Inc. has announced continued solid uptake of its VIGIL Central Management (VCM) software, amid excellent feedback on the deployment of VCM in the field. VCM provides security professionals with the tools they need to effectively manage and monitor multiple 3xLOGIC VIGIL Servers and VISIX cameras over IP networks. With VCM, users are notified immediately if there is an issue with a server or camera connected to their network. This allows potential problems to be resolved proactively before a loss of critical video or service occurs.

Bates Security finds RMR success

eremy and Bryan Bates, owners of Bates Security (and Sonitrol of Lexington, KY and Jacksonville, FL), are among the most successful to date in implementing VCM as a managed service offering for their customers. “We don’t sell systems unless there is a full-service maintenance contract,” explained Jeremy Bates, “With 3xLOGIC’s VCM as part of that system, we offer a whole new level of service, a true managed service. Now, we know when a camera is down before the end user does. Unlike in the past, when you found out a camera was malfunctioning because you had no video of that recent incident you really needed to see.” Bates Security has 176 3xLOGIC video surveillance systems and counting that are utilizing the VCM managed service offering. “VCM as part of our

managed services significantly strengthens our value proposition,” said Bryan Bates, “Our video systems also include a monthly investment. This monthly investment provides real value to the client because of the work Bates Security does every day to deliver the best possible video solution. Clients can rest assured that their cameras and video servers are functioning and that they will deliver video when it matters most. The monthly investment also covers the equipment, should it have problems, and even replaces a camera with the latest, best model if it can’t be repaired. SecurityLink India ■ 1 March 2017

VCM facilitates deeper customer relationships

CM as part of a managed services agreement sounds great in theory, but the Bates have repeatedly seen it in action. One customer had accidently turned off a camera that provided views of a parking area. VCM sent an alert, and a Bates Security administrator contacted the end user to get the camera back online. Within a day or two, the video surveillance system caught two perpetrators throwing a brick through a car window in the parking area and making off with 63

a purse. The video images were quite clear, and the police were able to apprehend the suspects based on the video evidence. Without this level of technology and service, it’s likely the camera would have remained down and the incident left unrecorded. “If that end user had bought his system off the internet or from an integrator not providing full service, he’s probably got nothing,” said Jeremy Bates, “Be-

cause he didn’t invest in a total solution.” Bryan Bates added, “VCM gives us many opportunities to ‘touch’ the client, to provide consistent value, to have a conversation and stay current with their needs and mindset. It’s a very valuable tool for us.” The 3xLOGIC VIGIL Central Management software’s main end user benefits include: ● VIGIL server, NVRs and VISIX

camera health monitoring. ● E-mail/ text alerts of health monitoring events (number of recording cameras, hard drive storage, processor utilization). ● User account and permissions management. ● Remotely deployable VIGIL Software Suite updates. ● Back-up and storage for server configuration files.

To counter the classic problem with color and brightness level shifts in LCD video walls, Barco developed the unique Sense X automatic color and brightness calibration system based on integrated color sensors. This technology automatically balances the video wall at all times, eliminating the need for expensive and time-consuming manual calibration. This not only optimizes uptime, but also contributes to the wall’s low TCO. Furthermore, the optional redundant external power supply automatically switches to a new unit if one should fail, eliminating downtime due to power supply failure. And because the power sup-

ply is located remotely, its maintenance can be performed without disturbing operations. Plus, any staff member (not only certified technicians) can replace a defective power supply unit − so this system also reduces labor cost.

Near-seamless, great colors, high brightness and reliability

“

The trend in the LCD video wall market is toward the narrowest bezel possible,” says Pietro Capretta,

Product Manager at Barco, “And the OverView HVD accelerates this trend. We are very proud of this product, which demonstrates our continued commitment and investment in the tiled LCD video wall market. In addition to the near-seamless canvas, the great colors and high brightness and reliability make this display stand out. It’s the perfect addition to our LCD video wall portfolio – and will further expand our footprint in this market.”

Electronic Access Control IHS Markit Predictions for 2017 By Jimmy Dearing – Analyst, IHS Markit

Analysis

Mobile credential downloads will triple

● Approximately 4.5 million credentials were estimated to have been downloaded in 2016. IHS Markit forecasts that this number will triple to around 13.5 million in 2017. ● The reason for the strong growth is two-fold: o The market sentiment believes that, as in other industries, mobile credentials in access control is not only a strong value proposition by itself, but mobile credentials also have the ability to unlock a more integrated and better value system for the end user while also allowing providers new avenues of services that can support revenues streams going forward. o In addition, mobile credentials are not competing against the traditional physical card at this time and therefore have a potential market equal to that of smart cards.

Electronic locks in emerging regions

● Electronic lock growth in emerging countries globally will expand by about 9 percent. Eastern Europe and Africa will lead all other regions with an estimated growth of 17 percent for electronic locks in 2017.

New biometric technologies

● Facial recognition will make further strides towards establishing itself as the second most popular type of biometric reader. ● Although fingerprint remains the industry standard for biometrics, facial recognition and iris recognition are currently battling it out for the title of the second most used type. ● IHS Markit forecasts an increasing interest in facial recognition over iris recognition. Iris recognition is more accurate and better suited for its niche role than facial recognition, but facial recognition is easier to install and does not have (unfounded) concerns for health. ● The market for facial recognition is

Highlights ● Globally in 2017, the access control market will increase by 6.8 percent and exceed $4.2 billion. ● Access control will continue to play a larger role in enterprise through deeper integrations with video surveillance, business processes and IoT. ● Mobile credentials and biometrics will be two of the top hardware trends to watch along with logical/ physical integrations and remote services such as access-control-as-a-service (ACaaS). 72

SecurityLink India ■ 1 March 2017

predicted to grow rapidly over the next five years. Although it will not overtake iris recognition in revenue or shipments, it will have momentum.

Chinese manufacturers will gain share

● Although China’s impact on access control has been far less profound compared to video surveillance, China will begin to have more influence on trends across APAC as well as the global access control market beginning in 2017, IHS Markit predicts. ● In China, new factories crop up seemingly every month. Each new factory is keen to establish itself in terms of market share and, as a result, enters with extremely competitive pricing. ● AliExpress and the increasing number of English speaking freight-forwarding companies in Guangdong will also make it easier than ever for Western distributors and integrators to acquire products direct from these factories.

IP-enabled controllers will experience double-digit growth

● Global unit shipments of IP-enabled access controllers will grow at double the rate of other panel variants in 2017. ● The growth of the market for IPbased panels reflects greater use of web-based and online products. ● As access control systems move from PC-based to mobile-based control elements, the associated infrastructure will likely follow suit.

What to Watch For in the Digital Security Market in 2017 By Don Tait – Senior Analyst, IHS Technology

s people slowly return to their normal course of activity in 2017, what is likely to happen in the digital security market in the months ahead? IHS Markit predicts the key themes driving various digital security sectors this year:

Top Trends for 2017

● India’s decision to scrap all 500 and 1000 rupee notes in November 2016 will transform the digital payments landscape within the country. ● The embedded SIM (eSIM) market will develop further in 2017 with the launch of the eSIM in cellular handsets. The eSIM will also become more common in areas such as M2M, wearables and consumer electronic devices. ● The terror attacks in Nice, Berlin and Istanbul will bring eID credentials, border controls and the Schengen Agreement into sharper focus. ● The IOT space will prove to be a hot bed of innovation over the next 12 months. NFC will play a pivotal role in connecting these IOT devices.

Analysis for 2017

India scrapping 1000 and 500 Rupee notes transforming digital payments

● India’s decision to scrap all 500 and 1000 rupee notes in November 2016 will transform digital payments there. IHS Markit believes that this

decision will dramatically increase the size of the mobile payments market. The move was designed to curb endemic corruption. But it also had the effect of accelerating India's transition to digital payments, and the mobile wallet market is expected to explode to 300 billion rupees ($4.5 billion) by 2022 from 1.5 billion rupees in 2016. Companies such as Paytm, Oxigen, MobiKwik and PayUMoney are well placed to take advantage of this decision. It will also increase the number of smart and secure EMV credit and debit cards in circulation and accelerate India’s transition to digital payments.

Embedded SIM becoming more mainstream

● The embedded SIM (eSIM) market will develop further in 2017 with the launch of the eSIM in cellular handsets. In 2017, growth of SIM card shipments is projected to slow. The SIM card market is relatively saturated and the introduction of eSIM cards will slow this market further. On the plus side, companion devices such as smart watches, which incorporate an embedded SIM card, are projected to benefit SIM card shipments over the next few years. There are also other markets such as automotive, consumer electronics, M2M and IoT that can benefit from an eSIM, where its use will become more common. SecurityLink India ■ 1 March 2017

CMYK

● The eSIM can have benefits for different stakeholders of the ecosystem. For consumers it can lead to lower costs of connected products, an increase in the number of connected devices and an improved customer experience and greater flexibility. For MNO’s, the eSIM can lead to new market opportunities in areas such as M2M, IoT and the connected car. It can also lead to the reduction in SIM handling, integration and handling costs. For SIM card suppliers, there is also the opportunity to enter new markets such as IoT, M2M and the connected car. A reduction in physical costs is expected as well.

Electronic identity (eID) credentials on the increase?

● The terror attacks in Nice, Berlin and Istanbul in 2016 have brought eID credentials, border controls and the Schengen Agreement into sharper focus. The Schengen area is composed of 26 European countries with a common visa policy that have officially abolished passport and other types of border control for international travel within the area. Some people have questioned whether or not Schengen in now fit for purpose or relevant to today’s circumstances: o Does the Schengen area need to tighten its border controls or even be scrapped? 73

CMYK

feature

o Do individual countries within the Schengen area need to strengthen their border controls? o Do governments need to issue more secure eID credentials to their citizens? ● IHS Markit believes that the Schengen agreement will not be scrapped in 2017. The free movement of goods and people is one of the core values of the European Union. However, it does need to evolve. The ongoing migration crisis and terror attacks have resulted in some countries such as Austria, Denmark, Norway, Poland and Sweden imposing temporary controls on some or all their borders with other Schengen countries. This includes the re-introduction of showing passports and border checks. ● IHS Markit believes that individual

countries may unilaterally impose border controls on other Schengen countries in 2017. This could lead to an increase in demand for border control equipment and more secure eID credentials. This would require government budgets to increase in order to absorb the costs of these higher security measures. Also, there has already been strengthening of the outer borders of the Schengen area in countries such as Greece.

IOT devices will be a hot bed of innovation

● The internet of things (IoT) will prove to be a hotbed of innovation over the next twelve months. IHS Markit believes that Near Field Communication (NFC) will play a pivotal role in connecting the installed base of 31

billion IOT devices that are projected to be in use by 2020. ● The connectivity of the IoT will enable the seamless communication among devices. NFC can be used to help developers utilise internet-enabled devices in an effort to maximize the benefits of the IoT in daily life. ● NFC provides a simple solution for connecting IoT devices to a network. Any device that is lacking a quality user interface (UI) can be given user-friendly controls with a single tap via NFC. In addition to its ease of use, other benefits include explicit interaction through close proximity interactions, read and write capabilities and communication with devices that are powered down. NFC is a low cost and low energy solution that will enhance the IoT experience.

The Refinement of Smart Home at CES 2017 By Blake Kozak – Principal Analyst, Smart Home and Security Technology, IHS Markit

Analysis

Cameras take center stage

● For cameras, the smart home focus at CES was around facial recognition, 360 degree viewing, security motion detection and HomeKit (the D-Link Omna camera). ● Outdoor cameras were featured as well, with announcements from Bosch and Ring, each of which had outdoor cameras connected to outdoor power sources and integrated with lighting. Baby monitors were also a trending item, with NetgearArlo and OneLink 74

by First Alert, each of which have advanced features such as air quality monitoring but the OneLink camera offers video respiration detection, a feature that uses non-invasive methods to monitor a baby’s breathing. ● Overall, the smart home camera market continues to expand as suppliers enhance their portfolio with cameras designed for various purposes such as outdoors, indoors, wired, wireless and cameras with lower price-points. A few new cameras that were announced combine several connectivity standSecurityLink India ■ 1 March 2017

ards and automation features into one device (including voice control), such as the Somfy One and SmartBeingsWoohoo, which will likely look to challenge Canary and Piper.

Illumination on bulbs and sensors

● Light bulbs such as Lifx provide two types of illumination, one of which is infrared to assist with outdoor cameras using night vision. The infrared helps the cameras see clearer in complete darkness, which for battery

powered cameras, will dramatically increase battery life. Other light bulb announcements featured integrated motion detection and speakers. ● Environmental sensors were also more pervasive this year at CES. Devices with embedded temperature and humidity sensors have been common place for many years but there has been a spike in devices with embedded air quality sensors (VOC detection). This has also led to an increase in the number of air purifiers, ranging from portable and stationary to robots which move through the home detecting air quality levels, purifying the air on-demand. ● IHS Markit believes the market for environmental sensors, especially air quality sensors monitoring allergens and pollutants as well as ultraviolet (UV) will become commonplace in smart home devices.

Changing business models and making things simple

● In addition to device refinement, business models are also changing at CES. Many of the top service providers offering smart home have focused on manufacturing their own devices in order to create a seamless look and feel across devices. Although partnerships will still hold great importance, service providers are looking to build up their own device portfolio and develop proprietary back-end software and artificial intelligence (AI). o Two examples of providers taking this route include Vivint and Comcast – each of which started off their smart home venture by offering a mix and match of device types and device brands – however each now has its own devices and backend. Moreover, Vivint an-

Highlights ● Fragmentation of the smart home market proved to be a key theme at Consumer Electronics Show. Actually a different message – refinement of the market – became apparent during the show. ● Smart home announcements weren’t just about cameras or light bulbs. The announcements focused on the consumer and enriching the consumer experience through seamless integrations and feature-rich offerings that can appeal to a diverse range of needs. ● Globally in 2016, there were more than 80 million shipments of smart home devices with an installed base that exceeded 190 million devices.

nounced its intelligent Sky platform will rely on AI to automate the home. The consumer simply answers questions from the system while it learns behaviors. Alarm. com announced a similar offering with its Insights Engine. ● Meanwhile, Comcast continues to work toward owning the home through entertainment, recently enhancing its voice controlled remote to allow controlling of lights and other automatons. Not to be outdone, ADT announced a partnership with Amazon which permits users of ADT Pulse to arm and disarm the security system through voice control. What makes this announcement unique is that the user arms and disarms the system by telling Alexa a PIN number. This is significant because there have been reports of security systems being armed and disarmed from outside the home. This new partnership provides an additional layer of security, which is timed well with the reSecurityLink India ■ 1 March 2017

CMYK

cent IoT security vulnerability news. ● Simplifying smart home was also a trend. Sigma Designs announced SmartStart and Comcast is partnering with Cirrent (ZipKey) to provide quick and easy connection of IoT devices. IHS believes making smart home easier to install for the consumer (do-it-yourselfers) as well as professional installers will remove one of the biggest barriers to mass smart home adoption. ● Lastly, voice assistants could be found at nearly every smart home booth at CES this year. IHS Markit believes that voice assistants will become the new user interface for the smart home, but the mobile device will continue to have its place when managing settings and advanced features.

A maturing market

● Overall, there were more than 190 exhibitors with a smart home offering at CES 2017. Despite this fragmentation, it is clear the smart home market is finding maturity in North America. Suppliers and service providers are making strides to enrich devices and the platforms with features consumers find valuable and can easily install. ● Moreover, industry players are looking to bring the technology and experience to the consumer through new channels, such as electronics retailers (Best Buy in partnership with Vivint), hotels (Wynn in partnership with Amazon), insurance, utilities, builders/ real estate (KB Home Caldwell Banker) and rentals (Airbnb in partnership with Vivint and August Lock). As smart home is pushed to the consumer from all sides, awareness will grow and prices will fall with one of final hurdles being consumer imagination. 75

3D Terrestrial

Laser Scanning

Elevates Forensics Investigations to a Whole New Level By QUAH Beng Chieh – Head of Marketing, FARO Asia Pacific

very contact leaves a trace – Locard’s Exchange Principle – as formulated in the early 20th century by Dr. Edmund Locard, a French scientist and criminologist who had studied law and medicine – continues to influence crime scene investigations today. Forensic scientists and investigators play a pivotal role in ensuring justice is served in courts of law. Whether in a criminal case

or the civil court, they are often called upon to present their professional, independent analysis of a crime or crash scene. For most crime scene or accident investigators, the current work protocol – which includes the documentation of the crime scene, preservation and collection of evidence and manual recording of measurements – is not just laborious and time-consuming, but also prone to human error. More importantly, the intrusive nature of these traditional tools (e.g., tape measure, measuring wheel, still photo/ video cameras) increases the likelihood of evidence contamination. In recent years, technological advances in the areas of three-dimensional (3D) terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) and 3D documentation are allowing forensic proSecurityLink India ■ 1 March 2017

fessionals to do much more in a shorter time than ever before. 3D documentation involves capturing accurate 3D geometry and images of real objects that are reproducible at a certain point in time, and then saving it as an informational model. These models are digital representations of the object or environment of interest in its current, true state. 3D TLS minimizes the chance of evidence subjected to compromise, and it is one of the most popular methods that practitioners rely on to collect data today.

CCSO investigators utilize the data agencies. In the past, the team used a total station to map crash scenes and that they capture with the Focus3D X 330 scanner to create crash animations in FARO® Crash Zone software. The data points indicating the start and end of skid marks or gouges, marked by evidence placards, are used in the creation of the animation in Crash Zone.

Since Point cloud of the bus-skateboarder crash scene, as captured with the scanner investing in the Fo-

CRAFT is now called out to scan scenes whenever there is an officerinvolved shooting, an officer-involved crash, or where a county or city liability may exist. The scanner provides the investigators with a unique ability to accurately verify line of sight issues in a crash or shooting incident. According to Criminalist O’Neil, “In an officerinvolved shooting, you can position the view of the point cloud to be at the officer’s eye level. As you move through the cloud, you can see the scene exactly as they saw it.” O’Neil and CRAFT were called out to investigate an incident where a Portland TriMet bus hit a skateboarder, who sustained serious injuries. While it might have been easy to believe that the bus driver was at fault, the point cloud captured at the scene and O’Neil’s analysis proved otherwise. “I was able to show that it was the fault of the skateboarder – not the bus driver,” explained O’Neil. With the evidence exposed, the case did not go to court, potentially saving the city from an expensive liability case. The Focus3D X 330 scanner has become so important to CRAFT’s investigations that the agency has taken special precautions to make sure that they are never without access to a scanner while on the job.

gineering (CAE), one of the schools within Tongji, shaped its programs to be industry-relevant through partnerships with various local companies. In return, the college then offers its academic expertise, actively involving itself in research for the Chinese automotive industry. At Tongji CAE, the analysis of traffic accidents is a key focus area of research. Professor Wang Hongyan at the College of Automotive Engineering, Tongji University, shared, “The primary motivation behind studying traffic accidents is to improve safety. With in-depth analysis, the causes of accident and injury can then be better established. We hope that a better understanding of the ‘mechanisms of injury’ behind car accidents can inspire automotive manufacturers to develop better safety features for their vehicles.” Accident reconstructionists generally agree that four key factors are at play when analyzing any given collision: human, vehicle, road, and environment. To accurately reconstruct and study a crash, evidence collection needs to be completed quickly and thoroughly. The availability of precise, comprehensive data is therefore fundamental to the accurate analysis of the crash. “Previously, our analysis always depended on manually drawn diagrams,” expressed Sang Xinhao, Assistant Researcher at Tongji CAE, “We relied on the traditional tape measure and largely estimated distances by eye.” With these methods, there was an inherent lack of accuracy and a wide margin for error. The data collected limited the types of analyses that could be done, and typically required a long dura-

tion of field work time. It was clear that the team needed a better, more efficient method to deepen its data collection and research efforts. When Prof. Wang learned about the FARO Focus3D Laser Scanner, he was immediately attracted to its technical abilities. The new device enabled the team to capture much more data in less time than they could using previous measurement methods. “The Focus3D can perform high-fidelity scans in a matter of minutes, documenting every aspect of the actual scene so that nothing is missed,” said Sang. The Focus3D’s prowess translated to several benefits for the research team. First, the amount of data available for the researchers to work with increased exponentially, allowing more in-depth study of any given traffic accident. The speed at which scans were made also significantly reduced the number of hours required outdoors on field work. Time saved on collecting data onsite was then utilized more efficiently for analyzing data back in the lab. In addition, it was now possible to capture time-sensitive evidence from crash sites. The Focus3D can produce a completely accurate, 3D model of a crashed vehicle and its surroundings within minutes. This point cloud can be used to take measurements, analyze crush, analyze skid marks, and create diagrams and animations of the crash.

Using the Focus3D also facilitates faster clean-up of accident scenes so roads can be opened quickly, preventing undesired traffic congestion. Aside from academic pursuits, the objective scientific results can aid in police investigations and a car manufacturer’s product development process. “We are proud to be able to contribute back to the society in more ways than one,” expressed Prof. Wang, “We hope our research efforts will continue to benefit and impact others in time to come.” FARO is the world’s most trusted source for 3D measurement, imaging, and realization technology. The Company develops and markets computer-aided measurement and imaging devices and software. Technology from FARO permits high-precision 3D measurement, imaging and comparison of parts and complex structures within production and quality assurance processes. The devices are used for inspecting components and assemblies, rapid prototyping, documenting large volume spaces or structures in 3D, surveying and construction, as well as for investigation and reconstruction of accident sites or crime scenes. 79

Internet of Things Puts Brakes on Fuel Theft

An Australian manufacturer is using the Internet of Things to tackle fuel theft across the globe

luid Management Technology (FMT), based in Adelaide, South Australia, has developed a high-tech system that allows companies to remotely monitor gasoline consumption. The devices, which are being used in more than 10 countries, are designed for fleets of mining, transport, civil construction and municipal vehicles that regularly undertake long trips. FMT’s SmartFill GEN2 devices use driver and vehicle specific identification keys to unlock the fuel tank. The device then records how much fuel is put into the vehicle’s tank. It also accesses the vehicles odometer readings and cargo types to calculate fuel requirements. FMT Managing Director Bob Thomas said the system, which was fitted to bowsers at fuelling stations, could be programmed to lock fuel tanks if too much fuel or if an unscheduled transaction occurred. “Depending on the key used, things

like odometer statistics, the amount of fuel used, the name of driver and other data are sent to a client’s webbased account where they can track movement in real-time,” he said. “In places like the UAE, Indonesia and Papua New Guinea, people are buying our products because of fuel theft, which could increase depending on the fuel prices there. “The ultimate solution is that every key is registered, so if a driver is involved then they will get pulled up but we are working on additional features to create a more comprehensive process.” FMT’s success grew with the implementation of a diesel fuel rebate in Australia, which allowed businesses to claim exemptions or rebates on fuel excise tax. The SmartFill allowed businesses to accurately document fuel consumption to maximise tax credits. It has since expanded internationally

to include clients in Indonesia, United States, Vietnam, New Zealand, Kenya, New Caledonia, Mongolia and Oman. Last year it began selling the devices to the United States Government for use at its embassy in Nepal and is set to install another system at its Guatemalan embassy in the coming months. FMT has also set up its first US operational base in Michigan to help service North America and provide full-time assistance to customers in the region. Thomas said because of the 14-hour time difference between North America and Australia, it meant there was almost always an FMT employee available to assist customers. “We are really focused on increasing our exports and are hoping our move into the US continues to expand quite quickly,” he said, “Our products are a step above the rest and only require a fifth of the time to install.” Thomas said the company was now working on a new nozzle-based identifier that would lock down the tank if it did not recognise the vehicle taking on fuel.

The Broadway Shopping Centre Benefits from intelligent Life-Safety System

recently opened shopping centre in Bradford, West Yorkshire, is now benefitting from an innovative range of intelligent life safety systems from Hochiki Europe. The Broadway Shopping Centre, a large mall in the centre of Bradford operated by Westfield Corporation, was opened to the public in November 2015 and currently contains 77 restaurants, cafes and shops. As a large retail space containing more than 570,000 square feet, The Broadway required a complex multinetworked fire detection system which could be quickly and easily accessed from a number of locations across the 82

premises. Due to the large number of stores and thousands of daily visitors, it was also vitally important for the system to be addressable so that the exact whereabouts of an incident would be known as soon as possible. Bradford-based electrical contractors, Pitts Wilson, were brought in by Westfield Corporation to specify the most effective solutions for the project. The group chose to install an intelligent fire alarm range produced by leading life safety system manufacturer, Hochiki Europe. As part of the project, worth around £50,000, more than 1,400 Hochiki Europe ESP devices were installed across SecurityLink India ■ 1 March 2017

tion, privatization of healthcare and rapid growth of technologies like predictive analytics and cloud, India poses tremendous opportunities for the healthcare IT market. HID Global has also announced that the solution is available in India. Nemours’ previous manual process was extremely inconvenient for prescribing physicians and they could not issue prescriptions to patients during Telemedicine sessions – an otherwise efficient and real-time means for delivery of care. “Our mission is to be the guardians of children’s health and joy, which also extends to being the guardians of their health information,” said Bernie Rice, Chief Information Officer with Nemours Children’s Health System, “To fulfil our mission, we needed an e-prescribing solution that would enable us to provide the exact care our patients need, when and where they need it, and that minimized impact on home and work life while providing all necessary protections for personal data.” The new HID Global solution provides the convenience for the prescribing physician to choose the authentication mode that best fit his or her workflow

in a given scenario. It empowers Nemours to attach a digital certificate of ID authentication to a FIPS 140.2 certified credential, using IdenTrust as the Certificate Authority for each authorized prescriber. The HID Global credentials also include one-time password (OTP) functionality that allows EPCS authentication using an OTP, without the need of a desktop reader. “HID Global’s vast portfolio of secure identity solutions made it possible for us to deliver a highly customized system that addresses Nemours unique requirements,” said Sheila Loy with HID Global, “Our goal is to leverage our comprehensive offering to help organizations improve their users’ overall experience while increasing security at the same time. The new Nemours system is a positive reflection of how an organization can accomplish these twin objectives using HID Global solutions.” Nemours Children’s Health System has reported significant improvements in their prescribing physicians’ experience, where they can now quickly and simply authenticate to write online narcotic prescriptions, in full compliance, from the

hospital, a clinic, other work locations and from home. The hospital noted the solution is cost-effective and easy to support by their IT department and medical assistants are saving time in managing requests. Prescriptions can now be digitally monitored and tracked to eliminate paper and storage costs, and they can be sent for fulfilment prior to patients’ arrival. Investigations that were previously more difficult and time-consuming are also faster and more streamlined with digital documentation of all prescriptions. “We are seeing extremely rapid adoption rates for our new e-prescribing system, and overwhelmingly positive feedback since its roll-out,” said Dr. David West, medical director for Nemours Health Informatics and the physician champion for the EPCS project, “Based on of the early success the deployment, we are now exploring how to leverage the HID Global EPCS architecture for other valuable capabilities, such as authenticating to VPNs and enabling remote access using credentials, key fobs, mobile smartphones, and other smart devices and one-time password tokens.”

in Pasadena, California, spread over a 5.5-mile parade route. Building on last year’s successful broadband demonstration during the parade, LA-RICS and Motorola Solutions deployed a wide range of technology for this year’s parade. High-definition camera feeds, broadband-equipped handheld devices and software applications worked together to enable improved information sharing and communication through voice, data, pictures and video. “Protecting this parade brought together public safety agencies from around the Los Angeles County region, and our broadband network provided a strong backbone to let them do their jobs even more effectively,” said John Radeleff, interim executive director, LARICS, “This deployment helped public safety teams stay in touch no matter what type of radio or device they used, helped the command center staff keep close track of resources and personnel, and ultimately kept the parade-watching public safer than ever before.” Motorola Solutions supported LARICS, the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department and Los Angeles County Fire Department along with other local

and federal law enforcement and public safety agencies that jointly deployed to protect one of the region’s largest public events. LA-RICS noted the successful deployment in its own news release. Participants used Motorola Solutions APX™-series radios on an ASTRO® 25 land mobile radio (LMR) network along with the broadband functions of LA-RICS to establish interoperable communications and seamless data sharing. Public safety responders also used Motorola Solutions’ LEX L10 Mission Critical LTE Handheld devices, VML 750 trunk-mount modems and a variety of software tools on the network to enhance situational awareness at the parade. Deputies and officers on the parade route communicated quickly and clearly in specific talkgroups using WAVE™ 5000 Work Group Communications software that seamlessly and securely linked LMR and LTE devices across the LA-RICS network. WAVE’s push-totalk function allowed agencies to easily customize talkgroups for each parade security zone, whether responders were using broadband smartphones, LMR radios or other devices.

“As the country moves closer to starting construction on a national broadband public safety network, we understand the advantages public safety agencies can achieve using broadband technology during events such as LARICS deploying at the Rose Parade,” said Travis Boettcher, Vice President of sales, Motorola Solutions, “Our software, managed services and LTE-enabled devices help public safety agencies realize the immense potential broadband has to both keep first responders safe and help them do their jobs even more effectively.” The current LA-RICS system, built with Motorola Solutions strategic partner Ericsson, has more than 70 LTE towers and will have a growing number of LMR sites to boost the overall system’s appeal to public safety agencies as more towers are added. LA-RICS represents the largest of the Early Builder projects that are part of the First Responder Network Authority (FirstNet). As the prime contractor for LA-RICS, Motorola Solutions continues its global leadership in creating public safety broadband networks that complement existing LMR infrastructure.

nessed a rise in the number of postal items addressed in traditional Chinese characters. This has in turn boosted the need for automated sorting and processing of addresses written in traditional Chinese characters in addition to those handwritten or printed in English. This new function has been introduced to 15 systems delivered to Hong Kong Post by NEC on several occasions since 2008 that are currently in operation at the Central Mail Centre in Kowloon Bay. The introduction of this function enables the automatic sorting and processing of up to 564,000 postal items with addresses written in traditional Chinese characters per hour, thereby contributing to the improvement of Hong Kong Post’s operational efficiency. NEC has been doing business with Hong Kong Post for approximately 30 years since the postal operator’s introduction of a postal automation system in the latter half of the 1980s. The introduc-

tion of this function was made possible by the high acclaim NEC has received over the years for its achievements and technological capabilities. NEC began developing its postal automation system business in 1961, and has since then delivered systems to postal operators in more than 50 countries around the world. In Japan, domestic postal operators have utilized a function for reading and sorting addresses written

in Chinese characters as part of postal automation processing since the 1980s. The introduction of this function by Hong Kong Post was made possible by applying the wealth of know how NEC has developed in Japan over the years in reading and sorting addresses written in Chinese characters. Moreover, it has resulted in increased efficiency and a reduction in the amount of time needed for processing.

LineQ Supplies Barix IP Paging Solution for Multi-Story New York Community Center Audio over IP system enables operational flexibility across multiple targeted paging zones, while ease of integration saves time, effort and cost

n expansive community facilities, the ability to quickly and clearly notify and relay instructions to visitors during emergency situations is critical to public safety and security. When Long Island, New York integration firm Rapid Motion Technology deployed a new emergency paging system at a 100,000-square foot cultural and community center in Brooklyn this fall, they selected a Barix Audio over IP solution, supplied by its US distributor LineQ, to provide the flexibility, advanced functionality and installation efficiency the project required. The community center features a swimming pool, gymnasium and fitness center, and hosts between 500 and 600 visitors at any given time across five floors plus a rooftop playground area. With no existing paging system in place, the center’s management set out to enhance visitor safety with a system to play pre-recorded audio messages throughout the building or to specific, targeted zones in the event of evacuations, fires, lockdowns or other emergency situations. Brought into the project by Gleis Security Consulting, Rapid Motion Technology looked to an IP-based solution to overcome significant physical challenges. “The building had fully closed, Sheetrock ceilings, which made wiring difficult even within individual floors,” said Jason Hagler, CEO 92

of Rapid Motion Technologies, “With an Audio over IP solution, we were able to use the facility’s existing CAT6 network infrastructure, avoiding the extensive work that would have been needed to run feeds between floors.” In-depth conversations with LineQ quickly overcame Hagler’s initial hesitation about using IP-based audio over the existing network, “I was concerned about bandwidth impact on the customer’s other applications, but the Barix solution shares the LAN very well with other network traffic. It requires very little bandwidth, and LineQ worked closely with me to design the optimal configuration.” Seven Barix Annuncicom PS1 desktop IP paging stations are distributed across the building’s five floors, rooftop area and central security office. BarixExstreamer 100 IP audio decoders, located in equipment racks on each level, receive and decode the audio, which Clarity amplifiers by Valcom then feed to ceiling-mounted speakers.115 speakers are dedicated to paging, while integration between the Barix units and the building’s preexisting, Clarity-powered background music system enables pages to override music playing over additional speakers. Each Barix paging station can perform an ‘all call’ to every speaker throughout the building or target just specific areas assigned to that station, SecurityLink India ■ 1 March 2017

such as its own floor. “The Barix system makes it easy to configure targeted paging zones,” said Hagler, “We simply gave each Exstreamer receiving unit a static IP address, and specified the IP addresses that each Annuncicom’s audio is directed to. And if the customer wants us to modify the mapping, we just add or change IP addresses, with no wiring required.” The Barix solution saved the integrator and the community center both time and money. “Using IP audio saved close to a week that we would have spent coring through floors and running wiring, and saved our customer thousands of dollars on labor and materials,” said Hagler, “The speakers took most of the installation time, but we had the Barix solution itself up and running in under six hours. It’s very user-friendly, and the technical support from Barix and LineQ is exceptional.” Hagler was equally impressed with the end result. “Voice intelligibility is critical in this type of application, and the Barix audio is incredibly crisp,” he said, “From a timeliness standpoint, the delay from paging until it hits the speakers is less than 3 or 4 milliseconds – you don’t even realize there’s any delay at all. And for the customer, the system is easy to adjust or expand if their needs change. The Barix solution lived up to all of our expectations, and I’d definitely use it again.”
