Trends in School SecurityOn the anniversary of Sandy Hook,
many schools have already made
changes to policies and security sys-
tems. IHS has forecast strong growth
for security equipment in US schools
for the next several years.
IHS estimates the market size for se-curity equipment in schools to reach
$634 million this year and is expect-
ed to surpass $720 million by 2014.
High-profi le shootings partially im-
pact spending for school security.
There is usually a spike in spending
and budgets following these types of
events.
In many cases, funding continues to be a barrier of growth to the expand-
ed use of security equipment.
Additional funds have become avail-able for schools through state-fund-
ing and grants.
The U.S. Justice Department is help-
ing to pay for additional offi cers. It
awarded $45 million from Com-
munity Oriented Policing Services
(COPS) grants this year to schools
that planned security enhance-
ments. This also includes Secure Our
Schools (SOS) programs.
These events force schools to review their existing policies and create
threat assessments as well as new
policies and procedures. There is no
set standard for what schools need to
do to prevent these tragedies.
Perhaps the key here is to have on-going discussions and security re-
views long after such events fade
from media coverage. For example
continued knowledge sharing be-
tween school districts and universi-
ties to fi nd best practices.
Security equipment installations
and upgrades as well as policies will
vary by school district and university;
However IHS fi nds that video surveil-
lance will be the focal point in the
years to come.
Effective security comes from hav-ing effective policies in place and
then leveraging the security system

you have. For example, video sur-
veillance can act as a force multiplier
by giving the campus officers greater
visibility, either through having more
cameras on campus, or by being
more intelligent and combining ac-
cess control and video surveillance
technologies.
IHS expects growth of video surveil-lance in schools to be twice as fast as
that of access control through 2017.
From the end-user perspective, there are several critical success factors
that decision makers look for in a
security solution: user-friendly, inte-
gration, safety, reliability.
School officials are likely to spend money on a case by case basis. How-
ever, there is a growing trend to have
interactive solutions between staff
and first responders. In addition,
video is looking to be used in real-
time not just for forensics. Having
video cameras on the perimeter of
the school building can also act as a
deterrent in some cases.
Investment will likely differ be-tween universities and K-12. Of-
ten times there are a few police
officers per school district and
most of the time these officers
are used to monitor high schools
(rather than elementary). Alterna-
tively, universities often have their
own dedicated police which could
utilize a control room. It also
tends to be easier for universities
to increase its police force before
a K-12 school district.
Having video surveillance in place is crucial, but having folks in place
who can quickly respond to a situa-
tion is equally important.
For K-12, many schools already have access control but these solu-
tions are often very basic using only
proximity cards and in some cases
push-pin access codes. On the other
hand, many universities have al-
ready transitioned to higher security
access solutions.
What can be expected by the second
anniversary of Sandy Hook
Schools need to continue to devel-op independent security plans and develop automated approaches when
able. But schools also shouldnt forget
other means of security such as strong-
er windows and doors. At Sandy Hook,
there was access control in place but
the shooter was able to break through
the glass to gain entry to the building.
So while video and access provide a
good starting point for a high level of
security, having several layers of secu-
rity help schools take a step in the right
direction to prevent a tragedy like this
from happening again.

Critical Infrastructure Helps Stabilize Perimeter Security Industry
Blake Kozak, Senior Analyst for Ac-cess Control, Fire and Security at IHS Inc., comments
below on the high
growth and adoption
of perimeter security
equipment in critical
infrastructure appli-
cations.
Although most
critical infrastructure
sites are target appli-
cations for electronic
perimeter security,
electrical utilities and
oil refi neries are pro-
jected to have the
most growth opportu-
nity. The global mar-
ket size for electronic
perimeter security
sensors and video in electrical utilities
and oil refi neries is forecast to top $160
million in 2014.
Electrical utilities have expe-
rienced strong
growth despite
the economic
slowdown in 2011
and 2012. Part of
this growth is re-
sulting from the
trend to use re-
mote video and
networked sen-
sors in order to
configure and
maintain sensors
from remote lo-
cations. For ex-
ample, there has
been demand to
integrate video
with detection
range of end-users, OnSSI and BCD-
Video are working together to meet the
evolving needs of the security market,
said Ken LaMarca, Vice President, OnS-
SI, Together we have developed an inte-
grated plug-and-play video surveillance
management and recording solution that
delivers best-in-breed technology for
smaller system and distributed system
applications.
We are pleased to join OnSSI in
this technology partnership to bring the
Ocularis PS video and event platform
to a wider audience through our EVO
Series appliance, said Tom Larson, Di-
rector of Sales, BCDVideo, By com-
bining our core strengths and expertise,
we are able to deliver powerful and di-
verse solutions to the security market-
place.
The EVO Series NVR is now
available preloaded and validated
with 16 OnSSI Ocularis PS licenses,
expandable to 26 per unit, using any
combination of analog-IP cameras.
The first model includes 16 analog
ports for hybrid appliances and the
second model is capable of managing
up to 26 IP video streams. These ap-
pliances are protected by a five-year
worldwide HP on-site warranty. Ocu-
laris PS is a full featured VMS with
PSIM functionality including central-
ized management of physical security,
content analytics and other systems at
multiple sites. The solutions are eas-
ily scalable to any size and includes
Ocularis Web and Mobile clients to
provide remote monitoring, camera
control and playback of up to 16 vid-
eo streams in real-time, at full frame
rates, over limited bandwidth.

sensors and network these back to a
central monitoring station. This has
helped increase demand for applica-
tions and locations where sensors
couldnt be monitored in the past.
Another driver is the updates to the
NERC CIP standards which are most-
ly concerned with cyber security and
classifying/ identifying critical assets,
which could lead to a change in the
security requirements for transmis-
sion substations. For example, NERC
CIP Version 4 states any substation
that maintains transmission lines at a
capacity of 500kv or higher are now
considered a critical asset.
Solar power plants, oil refi neries
and LNG plants are also expected to be
strong markets to sell perimeter secu-
rity equipment. The capacity of solar
power is expected to increase dramati-
cally, especially in the Americas. This
will increase the demand for remote
sensors as well as sensors which can
cover long distances cost effectively,
namely fi ber optic cables. As of Octo-
ber 2013, the U.S. was on pace to top
Russia as the worlds largest producer
of oil and natural gas. This presents
a good opportunities for thermal im-
aging, ground based radar, VCA and
fence sensors. Moreover, from 2013
through 2017, globally over 200 oil
refi neries are planned for construction.
Overall, critical infrastructure
sites are projected to be the fastest
growing end-user applications for
electronic perimeter security because
of the strong construction growth,
regulations and more advanced se-
curity sensors and solutions which
allow for proper surveillance, main-
tenance and configuration of the sen-
sors. While these factors impact the
short term, the future outlook will
reside with new technology develop-
ments and changes to end-user de-
mand.
Seagate Technology plc (NASDAQ: STX), a world leader in storage solutions, and Xyratex Ltd (NASDAQ:
XRTX), a leading provider of data stor-
age technology, recently announced that

cluding cameras and digital record-
ing systems into a simple to operate
Graphical User Interface (GUI) com-
bining GIS mapping with advanced
functionality. ZoneVu appliances are
utilised throughout the system imple-
mentation to integrate legacy devices.
Together Meyertech Limited and Scot-
tish Communications have delivered to
Grampian Police a fl exible IP solution,
which is ONVIF conformant and IP
future-proofed.
If its ONVIF and its
Meyertech, it works!!
With over 400 member manufac-
turers worldwide producing over 3000
conformant products, ONVIF provides
increased fl exibility and greater freedom
of choice through interoperable products
as the leading global standardisation
initiative for IP-based physical security
products.

company.

ty professionals, FU-
