Dear Readers,Greetings from MalaysiaSAFE!The recent spate of deaths in police custody have renewed calls by some to re-

visit the 2005 Police Commission’s recommendation for setting up of an Indepen-dent Police Complaints and Misconduct Commission (IPCMC) to ensure that a code of practice is to be adopted by the police with regard to arresting and deten-tion of persons. The Police Commission had also recommended an independent Custody Officer to be responsible for the welfare and custody of every detainee.

These recommendations were earlier rejected by the police and in lieu, the En-forcement Agencies Integrity Commission (EAIC) was set up with the mandate to educate the police and conduct investigations on other detention officers. The police have also implemented their own mechanism – Integrity and Standards Compliance Department (JIPS) but in spite of this, deaths have still occurred in custody, with 3 already reported this year.

Former Chief Justice Tun Zaki Azmi, who was a member of the Police Com-mission reiterates the need for an IPCMC to make the police force a more profes-sional organization. He says, “A death in custody goes beyond misconduct. It is a criminal act.”

The Human Rights Commission of Malaysia (SUHAKAM) Chairman, Tan Sri Razali Ismail also stressed that the authorities must implement reforms to build a more rights-respecting department. If death in police lockups is deemed unac-ceptable, then the Government should exercise political will and convince the police that the IPCMC can actually protect their interests.

On the national security front, Malaysia’s counter-terrorism efforts and mod-eration agenda have been drawing much attention at the international level, de-spite being a small nation. Most recent is the call from New Zealand to conduct trainings in the field of anti-terrorism and deradicalisation.

New Zealand’s Attorney-General Christopher Finlayson, who is also the min-ister responsible for the country’s security intelligence agencies, was impressed by Malaysia’s preventive approach in combating terrorism and its success in deradicalisation. This, after a similar interest shown last year by India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi to allow Indian enforcement officers to come to Malay-sia and learn about deradicalisation and rehabilitation efforts.

In this issue of MalaysiaSAFE, we bring you a white paper on using net-work video for setting up a versatile perimeter protection. We also carry a feature article on Best Practices for Smart Commercial Buildings and a few in-teresting case studies on critical in-frastructures. Other notable contri-butions include articles and forecasts by renowned authors/ market survey organisations.

Till our next issue, stay safe and happy reading!

Axis Communications, the market

leader in network video, had an

official opening and ribbon cutting cer-

emony for their newly revamped office

at Menara UOA Bangsar, Kuala Lum-

pur. Over 30 of Axis’ industry partners

and representatives were in attendance,

including the guest of honor, the Ambas-

sador of Sweden, H.E. Mr. Dag Juhlin-

Dannfelt.

The new office occupies a total

space of over1,500 square feet, giving

Axis the capacity to conduct trainings

for the Axis Certification Program and

demonstrate its all-inclusive end-to-

end solution offerings specifically for

the Malaysian market. The new office

is equipped with a comprehensive so-

lution showcase area where customers

can get a hands-on experience and learn

about the latest cutting-edge technolo-

gies the company has to offer. Those

present during the ceremony

were treated to a live demon-

stration of Axis’ new Q1659

Network camera, the first

to combine professional-

caliber photographic imag-

ing technologies from Canon

with proven surveillance

technology. Also being dem-

onstrated was Axis’ retail

optimization solutions from

Cognimatics.

Mr. Magnus Zederfeldt,

Regional Director for South Asia Pacific

at Axis says, “Actually the opening of

this new office is the culmination of six

years of being in Malaysia already. Why

we are putting more investments to grow

within this region is because we realize

that the end-users are starting to under-

stand what a quality integrated solution

is all about. We can see that in Malaysia

it is growing for the past two years, and

therefore I am very excited about the

company’s prospects here. There are a

lot of opportunities for all of us, so we

are looking forward to a bright future

ahead.”

Axis Communications has a strong

presence in the South Asia Pacific re-

gion, with branch offices in countries

such as Australia, Singapore, Indonesia,

Malaysia, Philippines, Thailand and Vi-

etnam. As part of its long-term growth

strategy, the Sweden-based company

plans to expand even further in the fu-

ture to better serve local markets.

Eastern Sugar and Cane Plc (ESC) -

the largest sugar producer in Thai-

land’s eastern region has manufactured,

and sold sugar and electricity for more

than 56 years. It has adopted the fully

integrated system in running its busi-

ness, utilizing all the raw material parts

including wastes.

Currently, ESC has a cane crushing

capacity of 32,000 tons per day, and has

an electricity generating capacity of 59.8

megawatts, of which 55 megawatts are

generated from its biomass power plant

and the rest from biogas power plant.

ESC also sells 31 megawatts to Elec-

tricity Generating Authority of Thailand

and Provincial Electricity Authority.

Challenge and solution:24/7 central management and monitoring by video wall solution

Alphafinity has never been afraid

of diverse challenges. ESC cov-

ers a large operating area which in-

cludes indoor and outdoor spaces, sugar

manufacturing areas, power generating

plants, offices and surveillance booths.

Alphafinity’s diverse surveillance prod-

ucts can be found across

ESC, even at the power

plant area that operates in

a very high temperature

environment.

For the outdoor zones

and manufacturing ar-

eas, Alphafinity’s I267

Starlight bullet cameras

were installed. The I267

full HD 1080p resolu-

tion in 16:9 and WDR

Extreme 140dB bullet camera provides

crystal clear coverage in bright daylight

and through darkness. Even if the fac-

tory is located in extreme environments

with high temperature range fluctuation,

it is not a problem for the I267 camera

because of its IP-67 rated housing and

wide range working temperature. The

1267 camera is protected against dust

and ensures operation under all weather

conditions.

For Indoor spaces throughout ESC,

the A4131 Starlight dome cameras in-

stalled strategically throughout the area

provide clear imagery regardless of

lighting conditions. The A4131 camera

features Exmor WDR sensor and Smart

IR LED; which can

capture both dark and

bright parts of an im-

age with double shut-

ters, enabling two

frames to be combined

to generate a highly

realistic image.

Besides high qual-

ity network cameras,

a central management

software (CMS) for the control room

is of utmost importance for the whole

security system. Live viewing from all

cameras 24/7 across the ESC is impor-

tant, especially to check on the manu-

facturing status or any intruders around

highly critical areas.

Alphafinity’s VD64 is widely applied

in this project. VD64 is a H.265 4K UHD

hardware decode Linux-embedded video

decoder, offering high performance video

wall decoder solution. It can monitor up

to 64 channels live-view on local display

via HDMI, Display Port and VGA con-

nectors and supports 4K UHD network

camera. It also connects streaming from

both IP cameras or NVR.

Feedback from Senior Engineering

Leader of ESC Security department, Phat

Rattanawan, “The diversity of Alphafin-

ity products allow our company to develop

comprehensive and customized surveillance

solutions to meet the unique requirements. It

was an excellent decision to acquire the high

quality system with user friendly operation.

We can easily expand the system based on

situational and financial requirements in the

future.”

Axis Communications aims to rede-

fine local brick-and-mortar store

operations and customer engagement,

with the launch of its video network so-

lution. The new solution offers HD TV

image quality, intelligent video func-

tions and analytic capabilities. These

will support retailers in their efforts to

remain productive, reduce manpower

reliance, gain consumer insights, and

ultimately, win back customers from e-

commerce players.

The changing retail landscape

Traditional retailers are facing chal-

lenging times. Rising rentals, and

the tightening labour market, have led to

higher operational costs for store owners.

Big players, such as New Look, Celio and

Carrefour, have exited Singapore as they

struggle with slow in-store traffic, and

competition against e-commerce players.

As such, in September last year, the

Singapore government introduced the

Retail Industry Transformation Map,

which encourages physical retailers to

innovate and adopt emerging technolo-

gies to enhance customers experience.

“The consumer shift from brick-

and-mortar stores to e-commerce have

undeniably impacted traditional retailers.

However, we believe that brick-and-mor-

tar shops still have a competitive edge

over e-tailers, and that is the human as-

pect of a shopping experience,” says Mr

Magnus Zederfeldt, Director, South Asia

Pacific, Axis Communications, “Cus-

tomers want authentic experiences today,

and it is thus imperative for traditional re-

tailers to leverage emerging technologies

to enhance this. If implemented effective-

ly, brick-and-mortar stores can flourish.”

Key highlights of Axis’ network video solution

Axis’ network video solution is ca-

pable of helping retailers in two

key aspects:

1. Enhancedsecurity

● Axis network video solution pro-

vides high resolution store-wide im-

age coverage that enables retailers

to follow any suspicious behaviour

inside and outside a store, even after

operating hours.

● The new solution is able to distrib-

ute HD TV video over any kind of

IP network or the internet, assisting

investigators with crime and positive

identification.

2. Enhancedcustomerexperience

● When placed strategically, the net-

work cameras can assist retailers in

recording, measuring and better un-

derstanding consumer activity and

buying behaviour.

● Retailers will be able to identify the

popular areas in-store and optimise

the store and display layouts accord-

ingly.

Axis had previously launched its re-

tail solution in the region, and some of its

key customers include Hang Ten in Tai-

wan, and Volkswagen in China. Custom-

ers have feedback that the solution has

not only helped to effectively reduce their

operational costs, but also raised in-store

surveillance and employee productivity.

“Competition against huge e-com-

merce players, such as Alibaba and

Amazon, is heating up. As such, Singa-

pore retailers must focus on delivering

greater value to consumers through the

implementation of digital initiatives in

stores. This will enable local store own-

ers to stand against e-tailers, and bring

about enhanced experience for consum-

ers,” said Mr Zederfeldt.

axis communications looks to revive singapore’s dull retail

scene with Video network solution

power or AC power; which ensures con-

tinuous operation 24/7.

The CCTV trailer comes equipped

with emergency LED illuminator, real

time voice communication, alarms, and

automatic sensors for intrusion. The

CCTV trailer is rugged, weather-proofed

Commercial buildings are

evolving to cater to changes

in technology and workplace be-

havior, while presenting new op-

portunities to maximise efficiency

and productivity. Anixter recently

developed the Infrastructure as

a Platform (IaaP) model to help

building managers address the five

key technology areas that form the

building blocks for smart commer-

cial buildings. These five areas are:

managing risk, optimising network

performance, enhancing workforce

productivity, improving space uti-

lisation and enabling the Building

Internet of Things (BIoT).

Risk management

Today there is a strong emphasis on

providing a secure and safe envi-

ronment for the workforce. The trend is

toward a split between reactive security

and proactive security. Proactive secu-

rity anticipates risk and finds solutions

while the threat is still manageable.

Anixter has defined a five-layered ap-

proach to physical security that provides

the ability to deter, detect, delay, defend

and deny at every layer of a commercial

building to mitigate the risk of a breach.

Networkperformance

Forbes estimates that by 2020 there

will be 26 billion devices connected

to the Internet, adding $1.9 trillion in

global economic value through sales

into diverse end markets. More than

ever before, a high-performance struc-

tured cabling system plays an essential

role in operating a smart building. Ver-

satile physical layer connectivity ena-

bles an open system platform, where the

right media selection and cabling topol-

ogy can support multiple applications,

handle increased bandwidth and elimi-

nate network downtime.

Workforceproductivity

Social and economic drivers are plac-

ing a larger focus on how workforce

behavior can be improved with technol-

ogy. Adequate bandwidth is required to

facilitate the explosion of high-defini-

tion video and BYOD environments that

enable collaborative business communi-

cation with seamless network availabil-

ity throughout the building.

Spaceutilisation

According to a CoreNet Global sur-

vey, 63 percent of commercial real

estate managers expected portfolios to

downsize in the next year. With more

employees concentrated in smaller spac-

es and an increasing demand for dynam-

ic, collaborative areas, optimising real

estate effectiveness is important for the

productivity and efficiency of employees

as well as the building itself.

BIoTenablement

Cost and efficiency, life-cycle man-

agement and improved sustainabil-

ity are the main drivers behind the need

to enable a BIoT environment. An intel-

ligent building must be able to address

the challenges of open architecture de-

sign, supplier integration and migrating

to an IP platform.

Anixter will be joined by key suppli-

ers to share its latest product and solu-

tion offerings for these five key technol-

ogy areas.

1. Introduction

Not knowing what is happening to

your property when you are away

is worrisome and discomforting. Yet,

knowing that something has happened,

but not exactly what, can be just as

frustrating, sometimes even worse. Net-

work video surveillance offers versatile

perimeter protection that allows you to

find out what’s going on around your

premises and why, and thereby enabling

resourceful and cost effective protection

of your assets.

2. Traditional measures forperimeterprotection

Safeguarding against trespassing,

theft and vandalism has long been

a part of daily business life. An increas-

ing number of enterprises are also expe-

riencing a growing need for continuous

security operations to counter what they

perceive as a rising global threat level.

To that end, they invest in various

perimeter protection measures, such as

short-distance radar, lasers, ground sen-

sors, motion sensors or motion-sensitive

fence wires. All these technologies per-

form well, and can, under many circum-

stances, capably detect an intrusion and

set off an alarm.

However, all of these systems have

an obvious and significant limitation:

they cannot distinguish between real

and false alarms. So for every alert,

someone – i.e., in-house security per-

sonnel or a security company provid-

ing the corresponding services – has to

decide whether or not a patrol should

be dispatched to the area. Not until

an inspection is carried out can it be

confirmed if there has been an actual

breach of the perimeter, and if this

breach is a threat that needs to be dealt

with, or whether it was caused by some-

thing harmless, e.g., an animal or mal-

functioning equipment.

Such procedures tend to be rather

time-consuming and will – especially if

the false alarms are frequent – eventu-

ally lead to more lax or even dropped se-

curity checks. Consequently, the whole

operation runs the risk of becoming very

expensive without providing any peace

of mind.

3. Network video for aclearpictureandstrong decision support

With network video cameras, on the

other hand, it is possible to build

an intelligent and reliable surveillance

system for perimeter protection. A vast

range of products from the leading sup-

plier makes such IP-based systems very

versatile and high performing, especial-

ly in difficult lighting environments and

in varying and demanding weather con-

ditions. Clear and crisp images facilitate

detection and identification of objects,

people and incidents, thus making it

easier to separate true alarms from false

alarms and other incidents that don’t

require any measures to be taken. Au-

tomated solutions and advanced video

analytics software can further reduce the

need for monitoring staff.

3.1 Detect - verify - act: How it works

Basically, the main objective for

perimeter protection is to detect a

threat or an intrusion at the earliest pos-

sible stage. However, areas where valu-

able assets sometimes are kept, for in-

stance rail yards, bus depots, car parks or

harbors can pose a significant challenge

for security managers. The sheer size of

these places can be a problem. Lighting

conditions can also be troublesome, es-

pecially during nighttime if there is little

or no electric lighting available.

3.2 First line of defense - thermal network cameras

Modern thermal network cameras

are very sensitive and accurate.

They are unrivaled when it comes to de-

tection, making them ideal in a first line

of defense. Once a suspicious event has

been detected, the thermal camera can

be configured so that it automatically di-

rects a PTZ (pan/ tilt/ zoom) camera to

the right place.

The PTZ camera can be further used

for tracking a perpetrator or any suspi-

cious activity. Tracking can be done in

several different ways, from manual ma-

neuvering by joystick to auto tracking

relying on intelligent video analytics.

Working in parallel, these two camera

types form an unbeatable combination.

As opposed to day/ night cameras,

which use the near-infra red spectrum

of light, thermal cameras do not require

any light at all to operate. Instead, these

cameras are able to detect a person or an

object by visualizing the thermal radia-

tion they emit. This capacity makes the

cameras highly functional in complete

darkness as well as in fog, snow and

other challenging conditions.

Less apparent is their usefulness in

broad daylight. Thermal cameras are

also very efficient when it comes to dis-

covering people or objects that are ob-

scured by complex backgrounds or who

hide in deep shadows. Another advan-

tage is that they cannot be interfered by

bright lights or laser pointers.

3.3 OntopwithPTZdomesandfixedcameras

With thermal network cameras, oper-

ators can detect suspicious activity

around the clock. However, after detection

must follow verification before any deci-

sion on further actions can be taken.

As soon as a threat has been identi-

fied a horn speaker can be used to de-

ter or delay an intrusion by sending out

warnings or messages. Floodlights, si-

rens and similar components can also be

used for deterrence.

PTZ cameras are very adaptable and

can enable an operator to get on top of

a situation very quickly. After an alert,

he can pan and tilt the camera by remote

control and get an overview of the area

in question. From there it is easy to zoom

in on details. State of the art network

cameras deliver sharp images with very

high resolution enabling facial identifi-

cation or license plate recognition even

at very long distances.

There are many situations where

surveillance video with color is an im-

portant factor for successful identifica-

tion. Special low-light technology that

reduces noise and maintains colors even

in very dark conditions is therefore a

useful capability that greatly enhances

the user’s possibility to effectively rec-

ognize and identify people, vehicles and

incidents.

A visual close-up also helps the se-

curity operator to further analyze the sit-

uation at hand. Is the person that caused

the alarm an unwanted intruder with

possible ill intent? Or is it a visitor who

has come astray or is it in fact an author-

ized staff member?

The whereabouts of detected tres-

passers can be followed with a remotely

operated PTZ dome or well-placed fixed

cameras while an employee or a guard

patrol is guided to intercept the perpetra-

tor. Saved video of an intruder’s move-

ments and activities can later prove valu-

able evidence in a trial.

4.Scalable,flexibleandcostefficient

Large surveillance systems can com-

prise countless sensors, cover huge

areas and include a well-equipped com-

mand center with plenty of security per-

sonnel. Many of these large systems tend

to be complex and involve several differ-

ent technologies. Not only can this make

C M Y K

C M Y K


white paper

them expensive and difficult to manage

but also risk hampering both flexibility

and scalability.

Furthermore, the bigger the site,

the greater the information load will

become, which can make it difficult to

run operations smoothly and effective-

ly. This is particularly evident when it

comes to the task of distinguishing be-

tween alarms and false alarms.

Using network cameras for perimeter

surveillance solves many of these diffi-

culties. A wide range of cameras, acces-

sories and various applications enables

end-users to obtain a comprehensive and

efficient video-based solution. Network

video also comes with a distributed sys-

tem architecture, which eliminates the

need for back-end hardware and makes it

flexible as well as scalable.

Detection and analysis of suspected

intrusions and other critical situations

might be fully or partially automated

with video analytics applications.

Traditional solutions, such as micro-

waves, infra-red or underground sensors,

leave the operator with the difficult chal-

lenge to understand the nature of the threat

every time an alarm is set off. However, if

the alert comes in the form of images it is

much easier for the operator to recognize

and categorize the type of alarm and react

accordingly. There is an immediate visual

understanding of the situation which not

only minimizes the time it takes to make

a well-informed decision but also reduces

the stress load, since false alarms can be

easily identified and ignored.

High system accuracy – i.e., a high

probability of detection in combination

with a low rate of false alarms – makes

guards and other operators more effi-

cient and facilitates alarm management.

Knowing with certainty which alarms

are serious and require immediate ac-

tion and which can be dismissed as false

also render the operator greater peace of

mind and better opportunities to stay fo-

cused. Network video is consequently a

very cost efficient way to improve over-

all security and works equally well re-

gardless if the alarms are handled locally

or remotely.

4.1 Automation - detection without eyes

Network cameras provide the high

quality images needed to enable

advanced features such as video mo-

tion detection, virtual fence or cross line

detection. Compared to a radar or laser

system that is typically installed on the

inside of a fence, a network camera can

be configured to sustain an alarm trigger

outside the fence and thus give an earlier

warning.

Large systems allow even more

advanced configurations and func-

tionalities. For example: Object filtra-

tion which reduces the number of false

alarms by only reacting to objects that

fulfil certain, pre-determined criteria,

such as size and speed etc. Similarly,

conditional alarm requires a number of

rules to be fulfilled before the alarm is

triggered. Another example of a useful

application to minimize false alarms is

masking area, which is a zone within

the camera’s field of view where events

don’t trigger alarms.

The most advanced application in

the market even enables detection of

multiple events occurring simultane-

ously in different places. It can analyze

detected events, then dismiss non-threat-

ening ones and notify security staff of

any potentially critical situations. The

bottom line is accurate detection and a

minimal number of false alarms.

4.2 Automaticnotification

When an alarm is triggered, a real

time notification can be auto-

matically sent to a single or multiple

simultaneous users, either by e-mail or

text. Using a remote viewing app, the

receiver can then see a live stream from

the camera or a recording of the trigger-

ing event. Based on this visual informa-

tion, it is easy to go ahead and decide on

the appropriate action.

IP-based systems are flexible and

scalable as well as being possible to in-

tegrate with other security technologies,

such as access control and motion sensors

etc. Relying on open industry standards

also facilitates the development of a wide

variety of third party applications.

5. Conclusion

Network camera surveillance for pe-

rimeter protection enables you not

only to detect a possible intruder at an

early stage, but it will also help you to

verify the extent and severity of a breach

as well as providing essential visual in-

formation to adopt an appropriate re-

sponse. Furthermore, by checking video

streams, it is easy to distinguish false

alarms from serious intrusions.

The versatility of network cameras, in

combination with many available applica-

tions and video analytics software, makes the

system flexible, scalable and cost efficient.

Finally, avoiding all the work, stress and

problems that are caused by misinterpreted

alarms will also pay dividends – if nothing

else, in the form of a greater peace of mind.

A network camera surveillance sys-

tem doesn’t leave you in the dark.

InternatIonal Updates

Hikvision, the worldwide leader in

innovative, award-winning video

surveillance products and solutions, an-

nounces plan to establish an R&D Cen-

tre in Montreal, Canada and a Research

Institute in California’s Silicon Valley,

California.

“These two major investments un-

derscore Hikvision’s R&D globalisation

strategy and the commitment to provid-

ing innovative, cutting-edge technology

products tailored to the needs of our

Hikvision to establish r&d centre in Montreal and research institute in silicon Valley

worldwide partners and customers,” said

Yangzhong Hu, CEO of Hikvision.

Expected to open in 2017, the Mon-

treal Hikvision R&D Centre will focus

on engineering development. The Sili-

con Valley Hikvision Research Institute

will focus on broad technology research.

Montreal is an ideal location for the

new R&D Centre because of its excel-

lent talent pool and business-friendly en-

vironment. Likewise, the high-tech hub

of Silicon Valley is the logical location

for the Hikvision Research Institute.

Based in Hangzhou, China, Hik-

vision has more than 8,000 R&D en-

gineers, one of the largest in the video

surveillance industry, and it dedicates

about 7 percent of its revenues to R&D.

The R&D Centre and Research Institute

in North American will be the first es-

tablished outside of China. “This move

is part of Hikvision’s global strategy to

advance its local support and service in

regions outside of China,” said Hu.

The increasing demand for bandwidth

technologies requires servers and net-

work hardware to make them more versatile

to compensate multiple migration options

throughout their lifecycles.

Every data center faces the same chal-

lenge: the need to support increasing band-

width demands while meeting the demands

for scalability, flexibility and redundancy. In

an attempt to control the associated costs,

data center planners are looking to use high-

density cabling architectures and computing

equipment to maximize floor space utiliza-

tion. However, given the pace of innovation

in data center internetworking technology,

not designing the structured cabling infra-

structure correctly today may lead to costly

upgrades, increased downtime and reduced

competitiveness in the future.

A standards-based approach

When Anixter created the original

Levels program in the 1990s, it

recognized the challenges designers faced

when attempting to select the correct type

and grade of low voltage communications

cabling necessary to support the emerging

Ethernet protocol being deployed across en-

terprise networks.

Even though the industry has evolved

from those early 10 Mbps systems to estab-

lished industry standards that support the

100 Gbps systems seen in today’s data cent-

ers, the same challenges exist: the myriad of

choices relating to media selection, cabling

architecture and cable management.

Trafficischangingthedata center

Before the advent of cloud and server

virtualization technology, most of a

data center’s traffic traversed from the data

center local area network (LAN) to the wide

area network (WAN). With server virtual-

ization technology, the ability to decouple

the operating systems and programs from

the physical server improves server utili-

zation as multiple virtual sessions can be

hosted on a server. In today’s virtualized

environments, server-to-server communi-

cation accounts for 76 percent of traffic in

the data center1.

This change in traffic has led to a shift

in the top concerns for investment of mid-

market data center operators as the server

capacity demands have increased2:

● Data center connectivity: 82%

● Availability and resilience of data center

power, space, cooling and connectivity:

80%

● Control over the facility: 78%

● Access to the cloud: 75%

Data center road blocks tohigh-performancestructured cabling

Migrating to a high-performance struc-

tured cabling system isn’t as simple

as a rip and replace of the current cabling.

network Migration: High-performance structured cabling

Five distinct areas need to be addressed

when evaluating a data center migration:

1. Amortization of cabling investment.

2. Infrastructure complexity.

3. Pace of innovation and adoption.

4. Speed of deployment.

5. Restrictions of legacy systems.

When determining a network mi-

gration strategy, you need to address

these areas while preparing to support

future technologies, whatever they may

be. However, they will certainly require

increased storage, speed, reliability and

responsiveness. In Anixter’s network

migration strategy, it’s important to ad-

dress several criteria within the data

center:

● Cabling topology: importance of design

and cabling systems.

● Media selection: copper and fiber tech-

nology.

● Complexity.

● Switch and general architecture.

● Flexibility: design for growth. For more info: anixter.com/datacenter

survey reveals getting sdn live in the data center

is taking longer than expectedBy Cliff Grossner – Ph.D., Senior Research Director & Advisor, Cloud and Data Center Research Practice, IHS Markit

IHS Markit’s data center SDN survey

provides insight into how cloud and

telecom service provider data centers are

evolving for SDN.

Data center SDN deploymentsgoingslowly

Two-thirds of the service providers

participating in our 2016 survey are

still conducting lab trials of data center

SDN, down only slightly from three-

quarters in 2015.

The number of respondents in pro-

duction trials and live deployment in

2016 continued to be lower than expect-

ed 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 orchestra-

tion and SDN applications – is still wide

open. Although the leaders in the SDN

service provider data center market are

becoming clearer, especially for physi-

cal network equipment, we do not expect

the market to solidify until live deploy-

ments ramp.

Baremetalswitchingstalls

Bare metal switch ports comprise,

on average, 33 percent of respond-

ents’ data center Ethernet switch ports

(the same as our 2015 study). And, on

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 sur-

veyed.

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 hard-

ware/ 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 respond-

ents.

DatacenterSDNsynopsis

For its 30-page 2016 data center SDN

survey, IHS Markit interviewed ser-

vice providers that have deployed or plan to

deploy or evaluate SDN by the end of 2018

about their plans to evolve their data centers

and adopt new technologies over the next

2 years. Respondents were asked about

SDN deployment drivers, barriers and tim-

ing; expected capex and opex changes with

SDN; use cases; security technologies; ap-

plications; top-rated vendors; and more.

The International Association of

Chiefs of Police (IACP) and Du-

Pont Protection Solutions announced

recently that they inducted 27 officers to

the IACP/DuPont™ Kevlar® Survivors’

Club® in 2016.

The IACP/DuPont™ Kevlar® Sur-

vivors’ Club® honors law enforcement

personnel who, in the course of pro-

tecting 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 do-

ing the jobs they love.

“We look forward to working to-

gether with DuPont in the upcoming

year to continue to raise awareness

of the importance of officer safety

practices,” said IACP President Don-

ald W. De Lucca, Chief of the Doral,

Florida, Police Department, “Through

the Center for Officer Safety and Well-

ness, IACP is committed to looking

at officer mental well-being, physical

health and tactical safety through a di-

verse number of programs. DuPont has

been a steadfast supporter of these ef-

forts and is equally committed to keep-

ing officers safe.”

For more than 50 years, DuPont™

Kevlar® has helped keep law enforce-

ment officers safe so they can in turn

help keep their communities safe. The

Biometric technology company

Zwipe was introduced this week to

major card manufacturers and compa-

nies working in Fintech by Monica Mæ-

land, the Norwegian Minister of Trade

at a seminar organized and hosted by

Zwipe’s partner in Japan, Hitachi High-

Technologies.

The purpose of the visit by the Min-

ister was to meet with Japanese and

Norwegian businesses working together

in Japan seeking to strengthen the strong

cooperation between the two nations.

With an emphasis on innovation, espe-

cially in Fintech, the Norwegian govern-

ment has expressed a strong interest to

support companies like Zwipe.

The cooperation between Hitachi

High-Technologies and Zwipe was for-

malized with the outlook to collaborate

on both technical and business develop-

eras are now ECE

R118 certified. As one

of the most accepted

quality affirmations

for products used on

motor vehicles, ECE

R118 stands for more

fire resistance, reli-

ability and trust.

In most parts of

the world, the auto-

motive industry is re-

garded as one of the most conservative

and strictly regulated sectors. This is

especially true with the European auto-

motive market. To cope with such, for

many years Brickcom has dedicated it-

self to transportation

application and suc-

cessfully acquired the

essential certifications

including E-Mark and

EN50155. With ECE

R118 certified under

the Addendum 117,

Regulation No.118,

now Brickcom mo-

bile cameras can be

deployed in almost all

kinds of transportation

applications.

Models that meet the ECE R118

standard are designed in accordance

with the agreement of a vehicle type

which regulates the flammability of ma-

terials in passenger vehicles and requires

particular installations for automotive

appliance safety. Along with IP67, IK10

and EN50155 certification approvals,

Brickcom’s MD and VD Series mobile

cameras are certainly among the best

choices for automotive applications.

What is ECE R118 Certification?

Economic Commission for Eu-

ment objectives. The Japanese market

for both e-money and payment cards is

fast growing as the people’s preference

to use cash is shifting towards more

secure and convenient alternatives. As

much as 40% of all transactions are cur-

rently made with cash, according to the

Japanese Fintech Association. In paral-

lel with this shift the Japanese payment

industry is recognizing the importance

of adopting open world standards, tar-

geting the Tokyo Olympics in 2020 as

the critical deadline for changes. This

activity is supported by the Ministry of

Economy, Trade and Industry (METI).

Additionally, biometric access control

is seeing significant interest in the Japa-

nese market, with many biometric alter-

natives already being adopted.

“At Hitachi we believe in collabora-

tive creation and that is why we have part-

nered with Zwipe. The solutions offered

by Zwipe in regards to payment, access

control and ID provide complimentary

offerings to our already strong and in-

novative solutions mix,” said Ichiro Mat-

suba, General Manager, Electronic Com-

ponents & Materials, adding, “We have

already deployed Zwipe Access solutions

in the market here in Japan and we have

seen significant interest for both Zwipe

payment and ID solutions.”

Zwipe was represented at the semi-

nar by their SVP of Sales and Market-

ing, Einar Boije, who held an hour-long

presentation to potential customers, rep-

resenting major card manufacturers and

companies working in Fintech. The pres-

entation focused on familiarizing the at-

tendees with Zwipe’s offerings as well as

detailing Zwipe’s go-to-market strategy

in Japan.

Speaking on the event, Einar Boije

commented, “We are very honored to be

working alongside our partners Hitachi

High-Technologies and to have such

positive support from the Norwegian

government. Zwipe’s global expansion

strategy is to establish and build strong

partnerships with industry partners who

have significant market impact and a high

level of competence. With Hitachi’s mar-

ket expertise and network we were able to

bring together many important decision

makers in the same room providing our

partnership a real opportunity to take our

business in Japan to the next level.”

LonTrend has launched a new range

of thermal cameras – LTCT03

capable to detect people, objects and

incidents in any hazardous areas at

The Fujitsu Cloud Internet of Things

(IoT) Platform is helping simplify

and accelerate the design, delivery and

management of high performance IoT-

based solutions – and is now available in

the Europe, Middle East, India and Af-

rica region, as part of the Cloud Service

K5 ecosystem.

Due to disruptive and rapidly chang-

ing market dynamics and customer ex-

pectations, businesses need to be agile

and responsive to remain competitive in

today’s business environment. As organ-

izations undertake digital transforma-

tions and digitalize processes to reinvent

how they operate, they become increas-

ingly reliant on IoT-based solutions to

generate and manage the new sources of

data that can provide truly holistic op-

erational visibility.

Fujitsu developed its Cloud IoT

Platform to address the management of

IoT deployments which can be complex,

time-consuming and can often require

specialist skills. The Fujitsu Cloud IoT

Platform enables customers to remove

complexity and benefit from a compre-

hensive, plug and play cloud-based solu-

tion to integrate selected IoT data into

mainstream business processes.

A rich set of APIs allow the collec-

tion and compilation of data from mul-

tiple sources, and Fujitsu provides a ho-

listic dashboard for managing data from

IoT devices. Consequently, customers

can deploy an IoT platform customized

to their exact needs, with effortless ex-

pansion to accommodate new devices

and data volumes. The straightforward,

pay-as-you-consume pricing structure

also makes financial planning easier and

eliminates the need for upfront capital

expenditure.

Conway Kosi, SVP and Head of

Managed Infrastructure Services at

Fujitsu EMEIA commented, “Very few

organizations buy IoT as a technology.

Customers want solutions to address

specific business needs, or to find a

way of transforming their processes.

In providing a complete, managed IoT

solution, Fujitsu enables them to jump

straight to reaping the benefits of an

IoT deployment, leapfrogging com-

plex and time-consuming planning and

implementation stages as they inte-

grate the data. Fujitsu’s comprehensive

Managed Services portfolio allows us

to partner with our customers, giving

them the opportunity to focus on the

end result instead of becoming over-

whelmed with the process – enabling

them to leverage the valuable IoT data

they have generated as they focus on

transforming their businesses.”

Vernon Turner, SVP and IoT Fel-

low at research company IDC com-

ments, “The IoT market is maturing

quickly. Enterprises around the world

are already integrating sensor data col-

lected and collated by IoT platforms

into production processes. This is

leading to the IoT increasingly becom-

ing accepted as the logical successor

to point solutions based on stand-alone

technologies, such as M2M and RFID.

However, the IoT is quickly reaching

an inflection point where just sensors,

technology and data are not enough

– enterprises need System Integra-

tors to help them combine their sensor

data with existing systems, and create

some meaningful business value from

the sum of the parts. At IDC, we call

this time to value, and our research has

recognized that what customers need

most of all are partners who both un-

derstand and can manage the complex-

ity of integrating IoT into existing IT

systems, with the ability to make the

IoT a valued part of mission-critical

business platforms.”

The Fujitsu Cloud IoT Platform

enables customers to manage sensors

and devices, collect, send and receive

the data generated and analyze this to

make real-time decisions. The platform

is plug and play so customers can easily

adapt it to meet their specific require-

ments. The multi-tenant nature of the

solution means it is cost-efficient and

easy to manage, while a broad-cross

section of functionalities makes it eas-

ier to integrate IoT solutions with one

another.

Fujitsu is providing its Cloud IoT

Platform to customers via its enterprise

Cloud Service K5. This next generation

cloud platform was specifically created

to enable customers to achieve effi-

cient, easy and cost effective enterprise

level digital transformations. Another

core element of IoT is edge computing.

In edge computing particularly related

to M2M and RFID Fujitsu has gained

a proven track record as a System In-

tegrator leveraging its GlobeRanger

iMotion platform. Fujitsu’s extensive

experience of seamlessly integrating

new IoT technology with existing leg-

acy systems makes leveraging business

intelligence data collected by means of

IoT more accessible than ever.

At INTERSEC 2017 Maxxess

launched MAXDashboard DI, a

world-first solution that can transform

the live management, monitoring and

verification of people in transit on big,

busy sites and multi-site estates, mak-

ing it quick, easy and affordable to pro-

actively pre-empt security situations,

optimise operational efficiency and cut

costs.

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 in-

house security capabilities while get-

ting more value from their operational,

human resources and building manage-

ment processes.

Designed by Maxxess, the flexible,

feature-rich solution uniquely combines

multiple data inputs, including access

control feeds, with powerful big data in-

telligence, analytics and algorithms, to

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 trig-

ger alerts about potentially suspicious or

unauthorised activity outside the norm.

As a highly versatile, open-source

solution, MAXDashboard DI is vendor-

agnostic, 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 capi-

tal costs or technical barriers, it can be

up, running and delivering results fast.

Because each organisation is differ-

ent, rules and reporting filters are cus-

tomised 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, del-

egates, 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 differ-

ent sites; if the number of visitors at an

on-site event matches registration crite-

ria; and that people’s presence in differ-

ent 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 cri-

teria 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, under-

takes 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 identify-

ing 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 ef-

ficiencies.”

Based on open system protocols,

MAXDashboard DI can take data from

any standard source including all ac-

cess control systems from any manu-

facturers with no need for bespoke in-

tegration.

consumers increasingly aware of online security risks, but hold Businesses

responsible for data Breaches, finds gemalto study

Gemalto recently released the find-

ings 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 responsibili-

ty 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 hap-

pen 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

Despite 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 commer-

cial periods such as Black Friday

and Christmas (2% increase online

versus -2% decrease in store), de-

spite 21% admitting the threat of

cybercrime increases a lot during

these periods.

Consumer attitudes on data breaches

Nearly six in ten (58%) consumers

believe they will be a victim of

a breach at some point, and organiza-

tions 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

C M Y K

C M Y K



social media site (56%) if it suffered a

breach, while 66% say they would be

unlikely to do business with an organi-

zation that experienced a breach where

their financial and sensitive informa-

tion was stolen.

How data breaches affect consumers

The study found that fraudulent use

of financial information has af-

fected 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 measuresinfluenceconsumerconfidence

The 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,

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% on-

line and 27% mobile) trail behind.

Similar results can be seen in both

the retail space, with only 25% of re-

spondents 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 busi-

nesses to provide this, while also keep-

ing their data safe. With the impending

threats of consumers taking legal action

against companies, an education pro-

cess is clearly needed to show consum-

ers the steps they are taking to protect

their data. Implementing and educating

about advanced protocols like two-fac-

tor authentication and encryption solu-

tions, should show consumers that the

protection of their personal data is be-

ing taken very seriously.”

● Only 30% of consumers believecompanies are taking their per-sonal data protection very seri-ously.

● 58% of consumers fear theywill be victims of an online databreach.

AnalysisMobile credential downloadswilltriple● Approximately 4.5 million creden-

tials 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, mo-

bile credentials in access con-

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 provid-

o In addition, mobile credentials

are not competing against the

traditional physical card at this

time and therefore have a poten-

but facial recognition is easier to in-

stall and does not have (unfounded)

concerns for health.

● The market for facial recognition is

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, Chi-

na will begin to have more influence

on trends across APAC as well as the

ning in 2017, IHS Markit predicts.

● In China, new factories crop up seem-

ingly every month. Each new factory

is keen to establish itself in terms of

market share and, as a result, enters

with extremely competitive pricing.

what to watch for in the digital security Market in 2017

By Don Tait–SeniorAnalyst,IHSTechnology

As 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:

TopTrendsfor2017● 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 be-

come more common in areas such as

M2M, wearables and consumer elec-

tronic 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 2017Indiascrapping1000and500Rupeenotestransforming 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 mar-

ket. The move was designed to curb

endemic corruption. But it also had

the effect of accelerating India’s tran-

sition 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 Pay-

UMoney are well placed to take ad-

vantage 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 hand-

sets. In 2017, growth of SIM card

shipments is projected to slow. The

SIM card market is relatively satu-

rated and the introduction of eSIM

cards will slow this market further.

On the plus side, companion de-

vices 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.

● The eSIM can have benefits for dif-

ferent stakeholders of the ecosys-

tem. For consumers it can lead to

lower costs of connected products,

an increase in the number of con-

nected devices and an improved

customer experience and greater

flexibility. For MNO’s, the eSIM

can lead to new market opportuni-

ties in areas such as M2M, IoT and

the connected car. It can also lead to

the reduction in SIM handling, inte-

gration and handling costs. For SIM

card suppliers, there is also the op-

portunity to enter new markets such

as IoT, M2M and the connected car.

A reduction in physical costs is ex-

pected 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 com-

posed of 26 European countries with

a common visa policy that have of-

ficially abolished passport and other

types of border control for interna-

tional 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?

C M Y K

C M Y K


feature

o Do individual countries with-

in 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 Schen-

gen 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 mi-

gration 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 show-

ing 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 be-

lieves that Near Field Communica-

tion (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 en-

able the seamless communication

among devices. NFC can be used to

help developers utilise internet-ena-

bled 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 qual-

ity 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 capabili-

ties 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 BlakeKozak–PrincipalAnalyst,SmartHomeandSecurityTechnology,IHSMarkit

AnalysisCameras 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

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 meth-

ods to monitor a baby’s breathing.

● Overall, the smart home camera mar-

ket 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 stand-

ards and automation features into

one device (including voice control),

such as the Somfy One and SmartBe-

ingsWoohoo, 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 cam-

eras using night vision. The infra-

red helps the cameras see clearer in

complete darkness, which for battery

C M Y K

feature

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 tempera-

ture 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 in-

crease in the number of air purifiers,

ranging from portable and stationary

to robots which move through the

home detecting air quality levels, pu-

rifying 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 andmakingthingssimple● In addition to device refinement, busi-

ness models are also changing at

CES. Many of the top service provid-

ers offering smart home have focused

on manufacturing their own devices

in order to create a seamless look and

feel across devices. Although partner-

ships will still hold great importance,

service providers are looking to build

up their own device portfolio and de-

velop proprietary back-end software

and artificial intelligence (AI).

o Two examples of providers tak-

ing this route include Vivint and

Comcast – each of which started

off their smart home venture by of-

fering a mix and match of device

types and device brands – however

each now has its own devices and

backend. Moreover, Vivint an-

nounced its intelligent Sky plat-

form 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 en-

hancing 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 num-

ber. This is significant because there

have been reports of security systems

being armed and disarmed from out-

side the home. This new partnership

provides an additional layer of secu-

rity, which is timed well with the re-

cent IoT security vulnerability news.

● Simplifying smart home was also a

trend. Sigma Designs announced

SmartStart and Comcast is partner-

ing with Cirrent (ZipKey) to provide

quick and easy connection of IoT

devices. IHS believes making smart

home easier to install for the con-

sumer (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 con-

tinue to have its place when managing

settings and advanced features.

A maturing market● Overall, there were more than 190 ex-

hibitors with a smart home offering

at CES 2017. Despite this fragmenta-

tion, 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 look-

ing to bring the technology and expe-

rience to the consumer through new

channels, such as electronics retail-

ers (Best Buy in partnership with

Vivint), hotels (Wynn in partnership

with Amazon), insurance, utilities,

builders/ real estate (KB Home Cald-

well Banker) and rentals (Airbnb in

partnership with Vivint and August

Lock). As smart home is pushed to

the consumer from all sides, aware-

ness will grow and prices will fall

with one of final hurdles being con-

sumer imagination.

application/ case study

In the last two decades, global eco-

nomic growth has led to tremendous

increase of vehicles in almost every cor-

ner of the world. Reports show that in

cities, most high rise apartment build-

ings have difficulties managing their

parking spaces. ID card issuing, billing,

entrance control and payments can make

the entrance procedure very inefficient.

Traditional smart card management sys-

tem limits the access to those who hold

an allocated smart card. However, cards

could be stolen and the processing of a

lost card can be painful.

With an abundance of experience

in video surveillance, Dahua launches

a new comprehensive and intelligent

car park solution. Dahua Smart Car

Park Solution is based upon video sur-

veillance and video analysis technolo-

gies. Moreover, it is integrated with the

Peel Ports Great Yarmouth is a

modern, multi-purpose port,

based in Norfolk, UK. The port in-

tegrates a new, deep-water outer

harbor, as well as a well-established

river port. With Peel Ports Great Yar-

mouth being a major hub into the

East Anglia mainland, any disruptive

event can have a massive impact on

operations and the flow of movement

within the region. The port operators,

therefore, decided to have a compre-

hensive security monitoring solution

in place in order to safeguard cargo,

infrastructure and people. Using

FLIR’s network-based Video Man-

agement Solution (VMS), the port is

certain to be able to meet the needs

of today’s demands, as well as tomor-

row’s business growth.

Peel Ports Great Yarmouth is stra-

tegically located to serve the Oil and

Gas fields of the southern North Sea

and the existing and planned Offshore

Wind development off the UK East

Coast, and offers the shortest North

Sea crossing between Great Britain

peel ports great Yarmouth opts for future-proof Video surveillance over ip

FLIr’s Latitude VMs efficiently supports Peel Ports in its current and future security needs

and continental Europe. The port has a

long tradition as a general and project

cargo port handling a wide range of

cargoes, including aggregates, cement,

grain, fertilizers, forest products, dry

and liquid bulks, pipeline and onshore

wind farm equipment.

Enhanceportsecurity

The port authorities needed a sur-

veillance monitoring solution for

both the old and new Peel Port areas for

the protection of vulnerable areas such

as entries, exits, jetty areas, storage lo-

cations, loading and unloading areas.

They also wanted to efficiently monitor

the waterways for quick and effective

response times in case of emergency

situations. Another challenge was to

leverage the existing network infra-

structure for integration with the port’s

current analog cameras. All camera

video streams needed to be fed into a

central control room, and further scal-

ing of the camera network within the

town of Great Yarmouth needed to be

possible.

Future-proofvideosurveillance over IP

Peel Ports Great Yarmouth turned to

Check Your Security Ltd., a Nor-

folk-based IP security systems integra-

tor, for the integration of a comprehen-

sive video surveillance system.

Check Your Security offers its cus-

tomers many types of security solutions,

based on discussions and a site survey

to ensure that customers have a flexible

and scalable solution that not only meet

today’s goals, but also can expand as and

when required.

The company opted for FLIR's Lati-

tude VMS, which provides forensic qual-

ity imaging and user-friendly operation

consisting of dedicated, web-based and

mobile client software. The video sur-

veillance solution also includes a wide

range of hardware components, includ-

ing FLIR’s Quasar Quad HD cameras

and older analog cameras coupled with

video encoders from FLIR, offering Peel

Ports many options to efficiently secure

the harbor area.

“The task Check Your Security

faced was to provide a fully integrated

and comprehensive video surveillance

system in a coastal port environment

that is both harsh and demanding,” said

Richard Musgrove, Harbor Master at

Peel Ports Great Yarmouth, “Check Your

Security offered a solution that met our

challenging operational requirements,

resulting in Peel Ports Great Yarmouth

managing a robust, reliable and scalable

all sizes. FLIR Latitude allows Peel

Port's control room operators to view,

playback, search and export their video

streams.

Quasar Quad HD imaging

The FLIR Quasar camera line includes

Quad HD resolution and WDR bul-

let cameras that represent an image qual-

ity breakthrough by combining advanced

shutter technology with high megapixel

count. This results in evidentiary-class

video quality in the toughest lighting

conditions. These advanced Quasar mod-

els offer 76 percent more detail than

HD1080, and the same forensic zoom as

legacy 5MP cameras. Utilizing its broad-

cast, motion-processing based architec-

ture, the Quasar Quad HD camera series

delivers predictable storage, lower utility

costs and a reduction in the Total Cost of

Ownership (TCO).

Increased safety in the harbor

With the installation of the FLIR

Latitude VMS and camera sys-

tems, the safety for the staff and the

general public, as well as the operational

efficiency of the harbor, has significantly

improved. The camera systems include

both visual and thermal imaging tech-

nologies, guaranteeing detection in any

environment during all operation times.

Check Your Security was able to lever-

age the existing network infrastructure

through a wireless mesh and a fiber

backbone. The newly deployed system

features centralized processing, with a

flexible and scalable architecture, allow-

ing Peel Ports Great Yarmouth to ensure

24/7 security of the port, even in remote

areas, such as the Old Bridge and Outer

Harbor.

Futureplans

Matt Jones, UK Area Manager at

FLIR Systems, commented on

the installation, “Check Your Security

have utilized many of FLIR’s end-to-

end IP Solutions to enable the highest

level of security and the quickest emer-

gency response times with the technol-

ogy available, allowing Peel Ports to en-

sure there are no operational restrictions

for a seamless transition towards a safer

future. Looking ahead, as Peel Ports con-

tinues to grow and develop as a leader in

Fluid Management Technology

(FMT), based in Adelaide, South

Australia, has developed a high-tech

system that allows companies to remote-

ly monitor gasoline consumption.

The devices, which are being used

in more than 10 countries, are designed

for fleets of mining, transport, civil con-

struction 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 fit-

ted to bowsers at fuelling stations, could

be programmed to lock fuel tanks if too

much fuel or if an unscheduled transac-

tion 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 web-

based account where they can track

movement in real-time,” he said.

“In places like the UAE, In-

donesia and Papua New Guinea,

people are buying our products be-

cause of fuel theft, which could in-

crease depending on the fuel prices

there.

“The ultimate solution is that every

key is registered, so if a driver is in-

volved 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 imple-

mentation of a diesel fuel rebate in Aus-

tralia, 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 in-

stall another system at its Guatemalan

embassy in the coming months.

FMT has also set up its first US oper-

ational base in Michigan to help service

North America and provide full-time as-

sistance 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 increas-

ing 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 identi-

fier that would lock down the tank if it

did not recognise the vehicle taking on

fuel.

A recently opened shopping centre in

Bradford, West Yorkshire, is now

benefitting from an innovative range of

intelligent life safety systems from Ho-

chiki 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 multi-

networked fire detection system which

could be quickly and easily accessed

from a number of locations across the

The Broadway Shopping Centre Benefits from intelligent life-safety system

premises. Due to the large number of

stores and thousands of daily visitors,

it was also vitally important for the sys-

tem to be addressable so that the exact

whereabouts of an incident would be

known as soon as possible.

Bradford-based electrical contrac-

tors, 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 Eu-

rope ESP devices were installed across

The Broadway Shopping Centre. This

included 280 optical smoke sensors, 150

wall sounder beacons, 40 base sounder

beacons and more than 100 call points.

Hochiki Europe’s EN 54-23 compliant

Visual Alarm Devices (VADs) were also

installed. The products were manufac-

tured to perform in line with recently

introduced guidelines which set stricter

guidelines on the installation and perfor-

mance of VADs in the UK.

VADs provide a visual indication

of an emergency, in the form of a bright

flashing light, which helps alert peo-

ple who wouldn’t normally pick up on

audible-based fire alarms. In large retail

spaces, this can prove vital for shoppers

tems and budgets are tight, efficiency

really was a key criterion when de-

signing our new control rooms,” said

Mathias Meyer, Project Manager, “As

were ergonomics, collaboration and

OT/IT integration. Barco’s OpSpace

was the perfect match.”

Singlepixelspaceforviewing and control

Launched in 2016, Barco’s OpSpace

is a personal workspace experi-

ence that provides operators with a

single pixel space for viewing, moni-

toring and interacting with a myriad of

remote systems. Operators simply use

one mouse and keyboard to control all

applications, experiencing a complete

overview of the situation from the com-

fort of a single chair. This creates a very

flexible approach to the operator’s job

− allowing better situational overview,

and therefore better decision-making

“We discovered Barco’s OpSpace

and were really impressed,” Ulrich

Reichelt, Control Center Department

Manager recalls, “The innovative tech-

nology as well as its future-proof and

scalable system architecture, which

even integrates with video walls in

their main control rooms, won us over.”

Finanz Informatik equipped 28 work-

places with the OpSpace solution, mak-

ing it easier for operators to manage the

337,000 computers, 24,000 cash points

and 27,000 servers of the 403 saving

banks that need monitoring.

Work more focused, more comfortably and

more intuitively

The installation at Finanz Informa-

tik is the first big install in Germa-

ny. Barco is setting up similar personal

workspaces at control rooms in EMEA,

US, Brazil and APAC.

“Barco developed OpSpace to

make life easier for control room op-

erators and help them raise their pro-

ductivity. The enthusiastic feedback of

OpSpace proves that OpSpace meets

a real market need,” comments Dirk

Hendrickx, VP Operational Collabora-

tion Systems for Barco, “We are excit-

ed to share OpSpace to streamline the

busy workday of control room opera-

tors at Finanz Informatik and all our

other new customers, allowing them to

work in a more focused, comfortable

and intuitive way.”

To build a comprehensive IP surveil-

lance system for the largest chain

in the convenience retailing industry –

7-Eleven, which opened it’s first store

in the United Arab Emirates in 2015 –

Brickcom’s IP cameras made all the dif-

ference.

7-Eleven, Inc., is one of the well-

known companies in retail. The new

2,000-square-foot store carries over

2,500 products which required a reliable

surveillance system to secure the facil-

ity. Therefore, the integrated security

solution is helping security managers

respond adequately by facilitating the

process of managing multiple staffs and

customers at the same time as manag-

ing shrinkage and theft from outside and

within.

which monitor for fire and fault through-

out the premises.

Mark Ellse, fire design engineer at

Pitts Wilson commented, “We chose Ho-

chiki Europe’s innovative range of de-

vices due to their smooth integration with

Advanced electronics panels and graph-

ics software. The plant control modules

also gave us more flexibility

when programming the cause

and effect logic. Aestheti-

cally, the devices fit in very

well with the look of the new

centre.”

Mark Smith, Hochiki

Europe’s UK Sales Manager

said, “The Broadway Shop-

ping Centre in Bradford

breathed new life into the city and now

shoppers can be reassured that it is pro-

tected by state of-the-art life safety tech-

ensured of their personal safety during

shopping at the store, as well.

Brickcom’s VD-300Ne and OB-

300Ne IP cameras are installed on the

store’s ceiling to provide high-quality

overall security. The cameras’ functional

design enabled the retail surveillance

system to be installed quickly with-

out damaging the store’s interior decor.

nemours children’s Health system selectsHid global solution for electronic

prescriptions of controlled substances to enhance their patient experience

HID Global® has deployed a Drug

Enforcement Agency (DEA)-

compliant and government certified

solution for Electronic Prescriptions

of Controlled Substances (EPCS) at

Nemours Health System. The solution

easily integrates with the Nemours’

Epic Electronic Health Records (EHR)

system to automate their paper-based

prescription system and provide an en-

hanced patience experience. In addi-

tion to increasing overall productivity,

the new system makes pharmacy visits

faster and more convenient for patients

by eliminating the need to obtain paper-

based prescriptions and reducing wait

times.

According to a study by NASS-

COM, the Indian healthcare IT market

is valued at $1billion (about Rs 6,650

crore) and is likely to grow about 1.5

times by 2020. With increasing cus-

tomer adoption, privatization of health-

care and rapid growth of technologies

like predictive analytics and cloud, In-

dia 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 pre-

scribing physicians and they could not

issue prescriptions to patients during

Telemedicine sessions – an otherwise

efficient and real-time means for deliv-

ery of care. “Our mission is to be the

guardians of children’s health and joy,

which also extends to being the guard-

ians of their health information,” said

Bernie Rice, Chief Information Officer

with Nemours Children’s Health Sys-

tem, “To fulfil our mission, we needed

an e-prescribing solution that would en-

able us to provide the exact care our pa-

tients need, when and where they need

it, and that minimized impact on home

and work life while providing all neces-

sary protections for personal data.”

The new HID Global solution pro-

vides the convenience for the prescribing

physician to choose the authentication

mode that best fit his or her workflow

in a given scenario. It empowers Ne-

mours to attach a digital certificate of

ID authentication to a FIPS 140.2 cer-

tified 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 authenti-

cation using an OTP, without the need of

a desktop reader.

“HID Global’s vast portfolio of se-

cure 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 or-

ganizations improve their users’ overall

experience while increasing security at

the same time. The new Nemours sys-

tem 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’ experi-

ence, where they can now quickly and

simply authenticate to write online nar-

cotic 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 docu-

mentation of all prescriptions.

“We are seeing extremely rapid

adoption rates for our new e-prescrib-

ing system, and overwhelmingly posi-

tive feedback since its roll-out,” said

Dr. David West, medical director for

Nemours Health Informatics and the

physician champion for the EPCS pro-

ject, “Based on of the early success

the deployment, we are now exploring

how to leverage the HID Global EPCS

architecture for other valuable capa-

bilities, such as authenticating to VPNs

and enabling remote access using cre-

dentials, key fobs, mobile smartphones,

and other smart devices and one-time

password tokens.”

Broadband tools strengthen rose parade security

Los Angeles regional Interoperable communications system and Motorola solutions deploy broadband infrastructure, software and devices to protect rose Parade

Motorola Solutions joined law

enforcement, fire and emer-

gency response personnel in using

the Los Angeles Regional Interoper-

able Communications System’s (LA-

RICS) private 4G broadband network

during the 2017 Tournament of Roses

Parade, adding new communications

capabilities and elevating situational

awareness for first responders.

Motorola Solutions built the net-

work for LA-RICS, and it remains

the largest U.S. broadband network

dedicated for public safety. During

the parade the network provided the

latest long term evolution (LTE)-em-

powered tools for many of the 1,500

responders who protected more than

750,000 onlookers in Pasadena, Cali-

fornia, spread over a 5.5-mile parade

route.

Building on last year’s success-

ful 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, broad-

band-equipped handheld devices and

software applications worked to-

gether 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 re-

gion, and our broadband network pro-

vided a strong backbone to let them

do their jobs even more effectively,”

said John Radeleff, interim executive

director, LA-RICS, “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 re-

sources and personnel, and ultimately

kept the parade-watching public safer

than ever before.”

Motorola Solutions supported

LA-RICS, the Los Angeles County

Sheriff ’s Department and Los Angeles

County Fire Department along with

other local and federal law enforce-

ment 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 Solu-

tions APX™-series radios on an AS-

TRO® 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 Solu-

tions’ LEX L10 Mission Critical LTE

Handheld devices, VML 750 trunk-

mount modems and a variety of soft-

ware tools on the network to enhance

situational awareness at the parade.

Deputies and officers on the pa-

rade route communicated quickly and

clearly in specific talkgroups using

WAVE™ 5000 Work Group Commu-

nications software that seamlessly and

securely linked LMR and LTE devices

across the LA-RICS network. WAVE’s

push-to-talk function allowed agen-

cies to easily customize talkgroups for

each parade security zone, whether re-

sponders were using broadband smart-

phones, LMR radios or other devices.

“As the country moves closer to

starting construction on a national

broadband public safety network,

we understand the advantages pub-

lic safety agencies can achieve using

broadband technology during events

such as LA-RICS deploying at the

Rose Parade,” said Travis Boettcher,

Vice President of sales, Motorola So-

lutions, “Our software, managed ser-

vices and LTE-enabled devices help

public safety agencies realize the im-

mense potential broadband has to both

keep first responders safe and help

them do their jobs even more effec-

tively.”

The current LA-RICS system,

built with Motorola Solutions strate-

gic partner Ericsson, has more than

70 LTE towers and will have a grow-

ing number of LMR sites to boost the

overall system’s appeal to public safe-

ty agencies as more towers are added.

LA-RICS represents the largest of the

Early Builder projects that are part of

the First Responder Network Author-

ity (FirstNet). As the prime contrac-

tor for LA-RICS, Motorola Solutions

continues its global leadership in

creating public safety broadband net-

works that complement existing LMR

infrastructure.

nec updates postal automation System for Hong Kong Post

Function for reading and sorting addresses written in traditional chinese characters newly introduced

NEC Corporation has introduced a

function for reading and sorting

addresses written in traditional Chinese

characters to the postal automation sys-

tems operated by Hong Kong Post, the

postal administration of the Hong Kong

Special Administrative Region of the

People’s Republic of China.

In recent years, Hong Kong has wit-

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 process-

ing of addresses written in traditional

Chinese characters in addition to those

handwritten or printed in English.

This new function has been intro-

duced to 15 systems delivered to Hong

Kong Post by NEC on several occasions

since 2008 that are currently in opera-

tion at the Central Mail Centre in Kow-

loon Bay. The introduction of this func-

tion enables the automatic sorting and

processing of up to 564,000 postal items

with addresses written in traditional Chi-

nese characters per hour, thereby con-

tributing 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 intro-

duction 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 au-

tomation system business in 1961, and

has since then delivered systems to post-

al 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 re-

duction in the amount of time needed for

processing.

While the aging population rises with

the declining birth rate, healthcare

has become a crucial issue all over the

world. Security in and around the health-

care institution is always a major concern

due to the open nature of these places and

the sensitivity of hospital operations. To

protect the staff, patients, visitors, as well

as the assets in many areas in the hospital,

the security requirements are much more

stringent than those in regular surveil-

lance applications. Being a professional

solution provider in a vertical application,

Surveon offers complete healthcare solu-

tions, including high-resolution cameras,

enterprise hardware RAID NVR as well

as enterprise VMS with real-time VA to

detect forbidden areas like patient rooms,

protecting the patients and staff from po-

tential risks in time.

Many people, including patients and

their families, medical professionals, and

hospital suppliers crowd many areas in

the hospital every day. Due to the open

nature of healthcare institutions, even

experienced system integrators might

encounter some challenges in some ar-

eas like patient rooms, supply rooms or

medicine pick-up counter, where it needs

much more stringent monitoring than

regular surveillance applications. With

smart image optimizers, Surveon cam-

eras can analyze lighting changes and

automatically adjust the image functions

to ensure clarity can be obtained under

different lightings. Moreover, Surveon

dome cameras support audio in/ out with

phone jacks, providing hospitals an easy

way to record and manage the conflicts or

disputes in the emergency room. Among

Surveon camera selection, 3MP bullet

CAM3471HEM with smart HDR and 3x

zoom autofocus, 2MP indoor dome cam-

era CAM4311S2 with audio in/ out with

phone jacks plus 3MP outdoor speed

dome CAM6471EZ could be the options

in such application.

For medium-large project scale, the

high bandwidth and storage demand of

these cameras could generate major chal-

lenges in terms of overall application qual-

ity and stability. The embedded hardware

RAID accelerator in Surveon NVR en-

sures that the multi-channel cameras have

access to the required bandwidth when

recording images, reducing the instability

often seen when systems are conducting

high I/O operations for extended periods

of time. In addition, through Surveon

Control Center (SCC), the video central

management tool, the advanced electronic

maps and expansion up to eight screens

at the user end can easily meet future de-

mand growth, protecting the patients and

staff from potential threats in time.

Surveon healthcare solutions have

been successfully adopted in city hos-

pital in Macedonia and the Taipei City

Hospital in Taiwan. “Combined with

easy management and excellent cost effi-

ciency, Surveon’s solutions have enabled

us to greatly enhance security around our

premises and thereby boost the overall

operations of the hospital,” said the pro-

ject integrator of City Hospital in Mac-

edonia.

surveon upgrades Hospital security with complete solutions

and roles. This highly secure cloud-based

software-as-a-service combines behavio-

ral analytics and a rules engine to enable

accurate and efficient detection of money

laundering and fraud activities.

“As an institution with a discerning,

technologically sophisticated member

base, it’s vital that our First Tech team

engages with a financial crime solutions

provider like NICE Actimize who can

grow with us and manage our require-

ments across both anti-money launder-

ing and fraud-related concerns,” said

Joseph Harrison, Vice President, Com-

pliance, First Tech Federal Credit Union,

“With NICE Actimize’s industry-proven

experience, we are confident that this

strategy will enable us to meet the de-

manding requirements of regulators.”

“Many solutions built for credit un-

ions don’t effectively scale as their needs

evolve, while others are too costly or

cumbersome for their operations,” said

Cenk Ipeker, Head of NICE Actimize’s

Cloud business, “NICE Actimize Essen-

tials offers the functionality, depth and

upward growth capability necessary for

those institutions to grow and protect

their investment in fighting financial

crime.”

In expansive community facilities,

the ability to quickly and clearly

notify and relay instructions to visi-

tors during emergency situations is

critical to public safety and security.

When Long Island, New York integra-

tion firm Rapid Motion Technology

deployed a new emergency paging

system at a 100,000-square foot cul-

tural and community center in Brook-

lyn 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 fit-

ness center, and hosts between 500

and 600 visitors at any given time

across five floors plus a rooftop play-

ground area. With no existing paging

system in place, the center’s manage-

ment set out to enhance visitor safety

with a system to play pre-recorded

audio messages throughout the build-

ing 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 so-

lution to overcome significant physi-

cal challenges. “The building had

fully closed, Sheetrock ceilings, which

made wiring difficult even within indi-

vidual floors,” said Jason Hagler, CEO

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 au-

dio 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 de-

sign the optimal configuration.”

Seven Barix Annuncicom PS1

desktop IP paging stations are distrib-

uted across the building’s five floors,

rooftop area and central security of-

fice. 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 pre-

existing, Clarity-powered background

music system enables pages to over-

ride 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,

such as its own floor. “The Barix sys-

tem makes it easy to configure tar-

geted paging zones,” said Hagler, “We

simply gave each Exstreamer receiv-

ing unit a static IP address, and speci-

fied the IP addresses that each Annun-

cicom’s audio is directed to. And if

the customer wants us to modify the

mapping, we just add or change IP ad-

dresses, with no wiring required.”

The Barix solution saved the in-

tegrator 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 custom-

er 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 sup-

port from Barix and LineQ is excep-

tional.”

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 millisec-

onds – 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 solu-

tion lived up to all of our expectations,

and I’d definitely use it again.”

In a year where national security has

been shown to be relatively power-

less 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

transit operations are facing reduced

budgets for security operations, mean-

ing 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 lit-

tle intervention required. The may not

prevent attacks, but they can assist in-

vestigations 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 vi-

tal part of a much wider Safe City pro-

gram. PSIM is a smart way to connect

vast numbers of DVR/ NVR/ CCTV

systems, from multiple vendors, to re-

trieve video of interest for distribution

to the force operatives who require the

information. What has been signifi-

cant 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.

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 imple-

mentation and maintenance support.

The challenge to system integrators

has been the large, complex, one off

solutions that require ongoing mainte-

nance 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.

Predictionsandobservations for the 2017PSIMmarket

Many of the higher end Video

Management Systems (VMS)

and Access Control Systems (ACS)

manufacturers have added 3rd party in-

tegration capability to their solutions,

partly due to market need and partly to

compete with entry level PSIM play-

ers, who mainly offer a ‘Common Op-

erating 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 in-

crease in the entry PSIM market share

taken by VMS vendors.

We expect to see ongoing signifi-

cant 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 andspecialization

The overall acquisition trend con-

tinued during 2016, resulting in

more major consolidation taking place.

Larger global players led on the acqui-

sition front, particularly of IP based

vendors, examples being Konica buy-

ing Mobotix, Honeywell acquired

Xtralis and Axis buying 2N, an emerg-

ing IP based intercom vendor as well

as Cognimatics, a video analytics spe-

cialist 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 net-

works. It may seem odd that Securitas

for example has bought an integrator

(Diebold) as they are best known for

their man guarding business, but per-

haps it is time that companies hiring

out security staff will be investing in

supplying high value technology solu-

tions that could supplement the man

guarding element of their offerings,

providing more value to their clients.

PSIM+Analytics=IncreasedEfficiency

2016 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 em-

bedded in the camera for live detection

or as a forensic tool to retrieve video

clips needed for post incident investi-

gations.

Where this becomes interesting

is the use of mixed technologies from

multiple vendors to build an end user

application, as required and defined by

a client. This is how PSIM and other

3rd party vendors, particularly analytics

can offer huge reduction in operations,

costs and time by allowing automa-

tion 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 de-

tection and tracking as well as identify

from vast amounts of video data from

multiple vendors.

Security assets saving operationalcosts–watchthisspacein2017

A 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, mo-

bile phone and tablets are used to com-

municate to and from the control room,

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 secu-

rity technology as it is supporting the

business mission. This ‘business’ criti-

cal element will remain the domain of

Enterprise PSIM vendors.

Drones: The double-edged sword

Fast 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 tech-

nology needs to be managed, to provide

the required information on the situa-

tion as the right time and technology

is now required in the command and

control room for identification and bi-

directional use of this geo located vid-

eo – 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

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 largerenterprises

Users of multiple numbers of con-

trol rooms are now looking for

them to be aggregated and managed

from a central command facility, main-

taining both local and centralized op-

erations. CNL Software has several

very large examples, where this is now

in use and is having a huge ROI on de-

ployment, 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 minis-

tries 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 so-

lution.

Tackling the cyber front

No predictions would be complete

without mentioning cyber secu-

rity, especially considering recent at-

tacks. 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 cy-

ber vendors and physical security spe-

cialist, to offer end users a complete

solution. CNL Software, as founder

members of the IoT Security Founda-

tion, is working with the cyber industry

to both understand and meet the chal-

lenges 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

In 2017, Enterprise PSIM will con-

tinue to raise its game in areas that

were once the reserve of defense con-

tractors and semi military companies.

Further expansion into C2i will see

greater levels of intelligence, includ-

ing tracking, slew to cue, aggregation

of sonar and radar, mass communica-

tions, 3D, Federated systems and cus-

tom 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 busi-

ness efficiencies.

PSIM will oppose the industry

trend and in contrast to other secu-

rity 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 impor-

tance and revenues.

Thales, a leader in critical informa-

tion systems, cybersecurity and

data security, announces the results of

its 2017 Thales Data Threat Report, is-

sued in conjunction with analyst firm

451 Research. Sixty-eight percent of

respondents have experienced a breach

with 26 percent experiencing a breach

in the last year–both numbers that rose

from last year. Paradoxically, overall se-

curity spending is also up; in 2017, 73

percent of organizations increased IT

security spending – a marked jump from

2016 (58 percent).

Old habits die hard

The report, which is in its fifth year,

polled 1,100 senior IT security ex-

ecutives at large enterprises around the

world and indicates an ongoing dis-

connect between the security solutions

organizations spend money on, and

the ability of those solutions to protect

sensitive data. While 30 percent of re-

spondents classify their organizations as

‘very vulnerable’ or ‘ex-

tremely vulnerable’ to data

attacks (and the number

of breaches continues to

rise) the two top spending

priorities are network (62

percent) and endpoint (56

percent) protection solu-

tions. Counterintuitively,

spending on data-at-rest

solutions (46 percent)

comes last.

Garrett Bekker, senior analyst, in-

formation security at 451 Research and

author of the report says, “One possible

explanation for this troubling state? Or-

ganizations keep spending on the same

solutions that worked for them in the

past but aren’t necessarily the most ef-

fective at stopping modern breaches.

Data protection tactics need to evolve to

match today’s threats. It stands to reason

that if security strategies aren’t

equally as dynamic in this

fast-changing threat environ-

ment, the rate of breaches will

continue to increase.”

CompliancethetopdriverforITsecurityspending

The reasons behind secu-

rity spending decisions

are varied, but the key driver

remains constant: compliance.

2017 DATA THREAT LANDSCAPE

“SPENDING ON IT SECURITY TO PROTECT DATA IS UP – SHARPLY IN SOME SECTORS – YET SUCCESSFUL DATA BREACHES AREALSO UP SIGNIFICANTLY. CLEARLY, THERE’S STILL A BIG DISCONNECT.”

—Garrett Bekker, 451 Principal Analyst, Information Security

“Compliance is a minimum table stake for regulated enterprises ... But being compliant does not mean you won’t be breached.”


“It’s no longer enough to just secure our networks and endpoints. With the rapid and continuing growth of data outside the four walls of the enterprise, spending on securing internal networks from external threats is less and less effective – and less relevant.”

External and internal cyberactorsthetopthreat

As in years past, the 2017 Data

Threat Report explored threat per-

ceptions. All vertical industries polled

identified cyber criminals as the top

threat (44 percent), followed by hack-

tivists (17 percent), cyberterrorists (15

percent) and nation-states (12 percent).

With respect to internal threats, 58 per-

cent of respondents believe privileged

users are the most dangerous insiders (a

slight decrease from last year’s 63 per-

cent). At 44 percent, executive manage-

ment is seen as the second-most-risky

insider, followed by ordinary employ-

ees (36 percent) and contractors (33

percent).

Securing data from future threats: Promiseorperil?

In this age of the cloud and SaaS en-

terprise deployments, more and more

enterprise data is being created, trans-

ported, processed and stored outside

corporate network boundaries, making

traditional perimeter-based security con-

trols and legacy network and endpoint

protection solutions increasingly less

relevant. Other new, popular technolo-

gies also bring added security challeng-

es. 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, “En-

terprises today must inevitably confront

an increasingly complicated threat land-

scape.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 prac-

tices:

● Leverage encryption and access con-

trols as a primary defense for data

and consider an ‘encrypt everything’

strategy.

● Select data security platform offer-

ings that address a variety of use

cases and emphasize ease-of-use.

● Implement security analytics and

multi-factor authentication solutions

to help identify threatening patterns

of data use.

Arecont Vision megapixel cameras

are cybersecurity-hardened. Hack-

ers are increasingly using surveillance

cameras as their point of attack, used to

break into, corrupt, or disrupt surveil-

lance systems, computer networks, and

the Internet. Cybersecurity is now more

important than ever.

Many IP surveillance cameras have

relied on network security to protect

them from abuse, or offered no security

at all. That is changing as cybersecu-

rity attacks become more sophisticated.

Manufacturers need to balance the user

experience with security, and no product

should be connected to the network un-

less it offers 16 character ASCII pass-

words and the ability to receive feature

and security updates after installa-

tion.

A more challenging issue is cy-

ber-hardening of surveillance cam-

eras. Most cameras run common op-

erating systems (OS), such as Linux.

This lets the manufacturer add third

party code and add-on chips for new

features, rather than developing eve-

rything on their own, for both cost

savings and time-to-market reasons.

Unfortunately, this opens the cam-

era to cyberattack through potential

buried malware and in providing OS

entry points to attackers.

Verisign, a US-based network infra-

structure and security company, reports

that the frequency of cyberattacks is

increasing by 75% year-over-year (see

https://goo.gl/tHVZKR).

Tens of thousands of cameras,

NVRs, and Internet-of-Things (IoT)

enabled-devices have been misused

in well-publicized Distributed Denial

of Service (DDoS) attacks. DDoS at-

tacks turn devices into robotic attackers

or ‘bots.’ A September 2016 attack on

Krebsecurity.com and French hosting

firm OHV involved over 140,000 hi-

jacked network cameras and DVRs (see

https://goo.gl/Df4Mkr).

The next month, a major DDoS at-

tack on network monitoring and DNS

routing company Dyn impacted up to

85 web services, slowing or cutting off

access to Amazon, the Financial Times,

Netflix, PayPal, Reddit, Spotify, Twit-

ter, and other sites with an estimated

$100M loss in revenue (see https://goo.

gl/mtyrp8).

On January 31, 2017, the Security

Industry Association Update e-newslet-

ter reported that the police department in

Washington, DC, lost control of 123 of

Arecont Vision’s Cyber-Hardened Cameras

“Arecont Vision megapixel cameras are immune to be-ing used in cyberattacks. All of the cameras’ core functions are developed for use on Arecont Vision’s Massively Par-allel Image Processing Architecture, eliminating the risk of undetected malicious code from a 3rd party. Every camera runs on custom-designed Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) integrated circuits that allow the cameras to be updated with the latest security updates plus new features

can be added even after installation.” – Jeff Whitney

187 NVRs to a ransomware cyberattack.

A city police department outside of

Dallas, Texas was also reported to have

suffered lost video after a similar inci-

dent. Ransomware encrypts the data on

computer systems, and charges a ransom

to have the encryption removed. It was

not revealed if the cameras were used to

propagate these two cyberattacks, or if it

was by other means.

Should a hacker obtain an ID and

password for an Arecont Vision camera,

they are only able access that individual

device. They would be unable to repur-

pose it maliciously, unlike other network

surveillance cameras that have been

proven susceptible in previous cyberat-

tacks time and again.

To protect networks and devices,

Arecont Vision is the proven cyber-hard-

ened camera choice.

Providing a safe camera solution

for video surveillance applica-

tions within hazardous areas, Hikvi-

sion, the world’s leading supplier in

innovative video surveillance prod-

ucts and solutions, has launched

three new ATEX & IECEx certified

standard network cameras, including

bullet and PTZ dome style models.

Explosionresistance

Continuing their goal to develop

and launch surveillance prod-

ucts that fulfil customers’ special

applications needs, Hikvision’s latest

explosion-proof cameras utilize 304

and 316L stainless steel housings for

maximum corrosion and explosion

resistance, and are IP68 water/ dust

ingress rated. For any surveillance

requirement within hazardous envi-

ronments, or environments where the

camera is required to operate within

areas with combustible sources, the

new explosion proof cameras provide

a high-performance and safe imaging

solution. Typical applications are for

potentially hazardous or explosion

risk areas, such as gas & oil pro-

HIKVISION launch High-performance explosion-proof camera range

cessing and storage plants, chemical

plants, industrial sites, deep mines,

or marine applications.

DarkFighter technology

Hikvision’s range of industry-

leading ultra-low-light explo-

sion-proof camera models boast

Hikvision DarkFighter technology,

providing minimum illumination as

low as to 0.005Lux in colour mode

and 0.0005Lux in B/W mode. The

result is crystal-clear colour and

monochrome images in conditions

that would defeat conventional low-

light models. The range also comes

with progressive scan 2MP and

4MP CMOS image sensors, full HD

1080p video at up to 60fps, triple

video streams, 3D DNR and 120dB

WDR.

H.265+Smartcodec

Greatly reducing the required vid-

eo bitrate to reduce bandwidth

and associated storage costs, the new

cameras support the latest Hikvision

H.265+ smart codec technology. An

intelligent algorithm developed by

Hikvision, H.265+ is a remarkable

encoding technology based on the

H.265/ HEVC (High Efficiency Vid-

eo Coding) standard, with the benefit

of being able to greatly decrease the

bitrate of surveillance video through

three core technologies, namely: Pre-

diction Encoding, Noise Suppression

and Bitrate Control.

Accepting 100V-240V AC and

PoE input power, video performance

is enhanced via Smart features such

as Smart Detection, Smart Tracking

UniqueWiseStreamtechnology

Completing the long list of innovative

features built into the PNM-9020V

is WiseStream, a complementary com-

pression 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 friend-

ly camera ranges available.

Designed for monitoring large open

areas with just one camera, the

PNM-9020V is equipped with multi-

sensors 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 le-

ver 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 end-

users can achieve an exceptionally high re-

turn on investment (ROI), as it can perform

the work of three or four standard HD cam-

eras and so deliver significant savings on

camera purchasing and installation costs,”

said Tim Biddulph, Head of Product Man-

agement for Hanwha Techwin Europe.

trouble, a reliable recording system sup-

porting 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 record-

ing day, not only supporting hundreds of

channels with more than one-year non-

stop recording but also ensuring all cam-

eras can be recorded and viewed reliably,

giving partners a powerful weapon to in-

crease the chance for tender winning.

Projects like government institu-

tions, casinos, commercial buildings,

and factories are complex scenes involv-

ing 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 ex-

pandable 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 tra-

ditional 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 part-

ners more cost-effective choices. Be-

sides, 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 Mile-

stone 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 Se-

ries delivers a high level of recording

throughput of nearly 2000 Mbps, ensur-

ing 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 solu-

tion with high throughput and long re-

cording 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 air-

line catering service provider in Hong

Kong, who is also satisfied with the ful-

filment of continuous recording for 180

days.

avigilon launches Highly anticipated appearance search technology

Avigilon expands video analytics platform with the launch of advanced search technology

Avigilon Corporation has announced

that it has further enhanced its self-

learning video analytics capabilities by

introducing Avigilon Appearance Search

technology immediately available with

Avigilon Control Center (ACC) 6.0 vid-

eo management software.

Avigilon Appearance Search, Avig-

ilon’s newest and most advanced video

analytics technology, is a sophisticated

deep learning artificial intelligence (AI)

search engine that sorts through hours

of footage with ease, allowing users to

quickly locate a specific person of inter-

est across all cameras on an entire site. It

can save time and effort during critical

investigations as it intelligently analyzes

video data helping to track a person’s

route and identify previous and last-

known locations.

“Historically, video surveillance

searches were done on a single camera,

based on time, motion and activity,”

said James Henderson, Avigilon’s Chief

Sales and Marketing Officer, “But with

Avigilon Appearance Search technol-

ogy, users can now easily search for all

instances of a specific person across all

their cameras distributed throughout a

site, with the click of a button. This is

designed to make searching for a person

as easy as searching the internet.”

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

Milestone Systems has released

XProtect 2017 R1. Milestone

product releases every year, in addition

to bi-monthly device pack releases sup-

porting third-party devices. This fre-

stone’s rapid response to market and

Milestone community needs.

Highest VMS performance

Thanks to the true open platform

technology in XProtect, Milestone

can rapidly respond to community needs

and enable cost-efficiency in large in-

stallations. For XProtect, this entails

a recording server performance of 3.1

Gigabit/S. This high performance level

Pioneeringhardwareacceleration

In the latest XProtect releases, Mile-

stone has harvested the advantages

of the close relationships with Intel and

Microsoft by implementing hardware

acceleration. The processor-intensive

enables Milestone community partners

to offer large solutions using a reduced

number of servers, or even smaller serv-

ers. This contributes to hardware costs

savings and a simplified infrastructure.

In short, it significantly reduces the total

cost of a Milestone solution.

task of decoding (rendering) video is

offloaded to the dedicated graphics sys-

tem (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 cam-

eras on the same server with the same

CPU load, or experience up to 90 per-

cent 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 experi-

ence improved performance at a lower

hardware cost.

Hardware acceleration was already

implemented in the XProtect 2016 Smart

Client. This provided an 80 percent re-

duction in the processor load on comput-

ers with selected Intel processors, firm-

ware, 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

As video management systems are

becoming more and more busi-

ness-critical, cybersecurity is a natural

focus. In 2016, Milestone launched sev-

eral initiatives aimed at strengthening

security in Milestone software. Like the

Hardening Guide that details how an

XProtect installation can be better se-

cured against cyber threats and the Ker-

beros strict user-verification in XProtect.

The XProtect 2017 R1 update in-

cludes 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 industry-

first security feature for XProtect 2017

R1. It is designed to prevent unauthor-

ized access to the VMS when a password

is compromised, as a code from the us-

er’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 Open-

StreetMap offline maps: This means that

customers with offline installations can

take advantage of improved situational

awareness by using maps, without ex-

posing their XProtect system to online

threats.

XProtect 2017 R1 is available to the

Milestone community now.

3xLOGIC, Inc. has announced con-

tinued solid uptake of its VIGIL

Central Management (VCM) software,

amid excellent feedback on the deploy-

ment of VCM in the field.

VCM provides security profession-

als with the tools they need to effectively

manage and monitor multiple 3xLOGIC

VIGIL Servers and VISIX cameras over

IP networks. With VCM, users are noti-

fied 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.

BatesSecurityfindsRMR success

Jeremy and Bryan Bates, owners of

Bates Security (and Sonitrol of Lex-

ington, KY and Jacksonville, FL), are

among the most successful to date in im-

plementing VCM as a managed service

offering for their customers. “We don’t

sell systems unless there is a full-service

maintenance contract,” explained Jer-

emy 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 count-

ing that are utilizing the VCM managed

service offering. “VCM as part of our

managed services significantly strength-

ens our value proposition,” said Bryan

Bates, “Our video systems also include

a monthly investment. This monthly in-

vestment provides real value to the cli-

ent because of the work Bates Security

does every day to deliver the best pos-

sible 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.

VCMfacilitatesdeepercustomerrelationships

VCM as part of a managed ser-

vices agreement sounds great in

theory, but the Bates have repeatedly

seen it in action. One customer had ac-

cidently turned off a camera that pro-

vided 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 throw-

ing a brick through a car window in

the parking area and making off with

a purse. The video images were quite

clear, and the police were able to ap-

prehend 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 sys-

tem 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 solu-

tion.” Bryan Bates added, “VCM gives

us many opportunities to ‘touch’ the cli-

ent, to provide consistent value, to have

a conversation and stay current with

their needs and mindset. It’s a very valu-

able tool for us.”

Barco further optimizes the Visual experience of super-narrow Bezel tiled lcd Video walls

Barco’s family of narrow-bezel LCD

video walls couple the traditional

advantages of tiled LCD video walls –

excellent image quality, minimum space

requirement, and an advantageous price

setting – with innovations to ensure

availability and optimize TCO. The new

OverView HVD5521 now joins this

portfolio, with a screen diagonal of 55”

and a brightness of 700 cd/m². Its ex-

tremely narrow total bezel width of only

1.8 mm (measured between screens)

enhances the visual consistency of the

video wall, making it better suited for

content that spans multiple displays.

Tailored for use in critical environments

Because control rooms are highly

critical environments, uptime of all

components needs to be assured. This

means that not only must component

failure be avoided, but also that mainte-

nance time must be kept to a minimum.

To counter the classic problem with

color and brightness level shifts in LCD

video walls, Barco developed the unique

Panasonic has announced the new

KX-HNC800EW, a Full HD indoor

camera that protects your privacy. Fea-

turing a pre-record function, you can

now capture more footage than other

home cameras, and by using its manu-

ally sliding shutter, avoid recording all

those private family moments.

Record everything you want to – nothing you

don’t

Through its manually

sliding shutter, the

new HD indoor camera al-

lows users to control when

the camera records. This

means that owners can

quickly and easily cover

the camera and micro-

phone to suit any occasion

they may not want to re-

cord, such as when enter-

taining guests.

Nevermissimportantfootage

For comprehensive, accurate video

recording, the KX-HNC800EW

includes a pre-record function. Image

processing begins two seconds before

the camera’s sensor activates the record-

ing process, capturing even more im-

portant footage

than ordinary

home cameras.

A perfect solu-

tion for keeping

an eye on pets

in the home,

animal owners

will never miss

a moment. It’s

now possible

to view and re-

cord all those

cute and funny

moments both

instantly and easily in Full HD. The

camera also allows for two-way com-

munication via the Panasonic app using

its optimised microphone.

Sync seamlessly with otherPanasonicSmartHome devices

The Panasonic KX-HNC800EW is

a stand-alone camera which also

syncs seamlessly to work with Pana-

sonic’s wireless hub, indoor/ outdoor

cameras, smart plugs and other sensors

and components in the Panasonic Smart

Home System.

It also offers wireless monitoring with

optional push notifications for up to eight

smart devices when motion is triggered.

Sharp,smoothrecord-ingsthatcaptureanentire room

The single Panasonic KX-HNC800EW wide angle lens provides full-room

coverage with its 142-degree diagonal wide-angle view. Exceptional Full HD video is recorded, even in low light, with a fast-focusing lens for sharper image ad-justment to capture smooth, movie-quality videos at 30 frames per second.

Full HD (1080p) video can be record-ed automatically onto a microSD/ SDHC/ SDXC card or a smart phone/tablet, mak-ing it possible to achieve a recording time of up to 145 hours.

MSS (Mobile Screening Solutions)

is a newly established security

consortium that addresses this challenge

by developing a unique, fully equipped

screening vehicle as a mobile check-

point (prevention tool).

Geutebruck is a premium partner of

MSS and equips it with video solutions.

With the increasing threat of acts of

terror and violence, it becomes ever more

important to protect crowds of people.

The greatest risk emanates from bomb at-

tacks, positioned either on the attacker’s

body or placed in a vehicle, and from

hidden weapons. They need to be tracked

down before they can reach critical areas

with large numbers of people.

With the MSS screening vehicle,

the vision of a fully integrated mobile

security concept becomes reality. As a

mobile security center, it carries inno-

vative detection and screening equip-

ment, including metal and liquid explo-

sive detectors.

People and baggage are scanned in

the vehicle through walk-through slots

and they can also be connected with mo-

bile scanners outside the vehicle.

This all happens in real-time! All ac-

The IP technology will be integrated

into GJD’s D-TECT® detector and

Clarius® LED illuminator product rang-

es to provide automated and digitally

connectable security solutions.

Embsec’s laser scanning and time of

flight technology solutions will position

GJD as a leader in the field of laser de-

tection. These products are proving very

popular and provide extremely accurate

detection for high risk security applica-

tions. The external laser detectors will

be manufactured in-house at GJD’s UK

factory under the Laser-Watch® and

vFence® trademarks.

Traditional ‘analogue’ security and

lighting systems have been the most

popular choice for a variety of applica-

tions for decades. In 2016, the Internet

of Things (IoT) exploded into the secu-

rity world. More and more companies

are looking to seamlessly connect their

products (security or otherwise) to the

Internet for remote diagnostics, pro-

gramming and control applications. The

purchase of Embsec’s IP products, soft-

ware and technology allows GJD to of-

fer a fully integrated IP solution, with all

products being manufactured in-house

at GJD’s head office in Heywood, Great-

er Manchester.

One of the major advantages of hav-

ing a GJD security device connected via

the internet is that the high-speed remote

access permits full control and diagnostics

at anytime from anywhere in the world.

The IP technology will complement

GJD’s product range instantly. It will pro-

vide installers, specifiers and consultants

with a ‘one stop shop’ for IP connected

detectors, alarm devices and LED illumi-

nators for smart building networks.

The device detects and reports

movements and noise levels and

measures the temperature and illumi-

nation level, and other environmental

information, which can then be used

for individually configurable func-

tions, such as activation of a signal

output at 5°C or 100Lx. All four sen-

sors can be combined as desired (via

event logic).

The compact MxMultiSense has

a very low power consumption of 0.1

Watt. With the same form factor as an

S15 sensor module it is therefore com-

patible with all sensor module mounts

available for wall or ceiling installa-

tion.

MxMultiSense can be used in many

different applica-

tions. For ex-

ample, it can

be installed

in a Dual-

M o u n t ,

Surround-

Mount or

PTMount,

in order to

add a PIR

sensor to the se-

curity system. It can also be installed in

a HaloMount in a suspended ceiling for

use in presence monitoring in rooms.

MxMultiSense performs its func-

tions in a decentralised manner, mean-

ing that it carries them out largely

autonomously with the help of MxMes-

sageSystem (MxBroadcast).

videomanagementsoftware(VMS)

Unveiled at Intersec 2017, the inte-

gration allows RV30™ plug-and-

play camera set up using the IDIS Direc-

tIP™ NVRs.

Much of the Redvision IP camera’s

advanced functionality is enabled, in-

cluding variable speed PTZ operation,

for responsive operator control; minimal

joy-stick latency; wiper, IR and white

light illumination by manual switch or

schedule; and programming of multiple

pre-sets and tours. The IDIS DirectIP™

NVRs record the camera’s Full HD, pri-

mary video stream, whilst using its low-

er resolution sub-streams for efficient

control, display and transmission.

IDIS is a specialist, South Korean

manufacturer of video surveillance

equipment.

Billy Hopkins, Technical Manager

of IDIS Europe, explains: “We initially

integrated with Redvision’s RV30™ cam-

eras using the universal ONVIF proto-

col. This worked immediately, with no

additional development work required.

However, Redvision’s firmware and

SDK development tool allowed us to

take full advantage of more advanced

functionality.

IDIS is pleased to add the Redvision

RV30™ to its portfolio. The market-

leading, X-SERIES™ rugged dome is

ideally suited to the tough, hot, outdoor

conditions typical of our Asian and Mid-

dle East market. It’s flat glass, camera

window and wiper allow us to remove

dirt, dust and water.”

SunstoneIPSystemsDevelopsSolarPoweredSecurityforOil-fieldsandRemoteLocations

Theself-sustainingsolutioncombats

thechallengesofdeliveringsurveil-

lanceinharshenvironmentswithout

electricityortelecommunications

Sunstone IP Systems Limited, a fast-

growing security systems integrator,

has designed a patent pending Solar IP

CCTV System (SICS), which delivers

high quality and high definition (HD)

surveillance in remote locations.

SICS was designed in response to

the challenge of delivering wireless

surveillance in remote and corrosive

environments combined with extreme

weather conditions to enable seamless

HD monitoring for high security op-

erations across a wide geographic area,

such as oilfields.

Typically, such environments lack

fixed buildings, power and connectiv-

ity, so it was integral that SICS was de-

signed to be completely standalone, eas-

ily transportable and rapidly deployed.

Completely self-sustaining, SICS

uses a 500w combination of rugge-

dized solar panels, which were custom

engineered for optimum solar angles in

a range of global locations. The energy

from the sun is harvested from the pan-

els and stored in a proprietary harsh en-

vironment battery system, which is de-

signed to withstand deep cycling along

with extremely

high and low

t empera tu re s .

The power gen-

erated from the

solar and battery

system can fuel

any type of IP

camera system,

wireless access

control, telecom-

munications or

LED lighting

system.

In addition,

SICS is fitted

with a system controller, which enables

real-time monitoring of all aspects of

the system, including solar and battery

performance, alongside a GPS location

alert on system threats such as extreme

temperature or snow build up. The solar

controller is vital to the effective opera-

tion of SICS, providing security opera-

tives with diagnostic information and

the ability to completely monitor the

system remotely.
