RAYTEC Extend Lighting<br />
Amnesty Globally<br />
There has been a widespread positive response to<br />
the ground-breaking ‘scrap and save’ Lighting<br />
Amnesty scheme launched by Raytec this winter.<br />
Raytec have extended the Lighting Amnesty in the<br />
UK until the 31st of March 2010 and are now opening<br />
it up to international customers via participating<br />
distributors.<br />
The new scrap-and-save scheme offers installers<br />
cash back to make the switch from wasteful CCTV<br />
lighting to new energy saving LED technology and<br />
helps end users to significantly reduce power<br />
consumption, CO2 emissions and running costs.<br />
During the ‘Lighting Amnesty’ Raytec are offering<br />
free site surveys and energy reports detailing the<br />
annual CO2 and cost savings made by switching to<br />
low energy LED illuminators from Raytec.<br />
Ashwin Lal, MD of Visual Security Systems comments<br />
on the success of the Lighting Amnesty, “The<br />
Lighting Amnesty has proven to be a win:win<br />
situation, allowing us to approach new and existing<br />
customers saving them energy and money”.<br />
Ashwin goes on to say “Traditionally IR has been the<br />
professional choice for security installers, however<br />
as Raytec’s dedicated White-Light products become<br />
increasingly popular in the market, the Amnesty<br />
allows us to re-approach our customers and offer<br />
them additional savings for both IR and WL<br />
applications”.<br />

Intellio Adds 3D Maps to Its<br />
Monitoring Software<br />
2010 has barely lifted off the ground, and something<br />
new is already rolling out from Intellio’s labs. A<br />
brand new 3D Map Component is about to be<br />
integrated in the company’s Advanced, Enhanced,<br />
Essential, and Superior System Software. The new<br />
feature is introducing a compelling visual interface<br />
to help better monitor both small and large scale<br />
installations.<br />
Security professionals can now keep an eye on their<br />
sites more easily by using maps of a city or even an<br />
entire country. There are no restrictions to the<br />
number of buildings and storeys displayed on the<br />
maps. Zooming in on storeys the Monitoring<br />
Software will show the field of view of installed<br />
cameras, their viewing angles, and supply pre-view<br />
images.<br />
The available features of the 3D Map Component are<br />
continuously expanding. Soon to be released is an<br />

Pelco and CNL form<br />
Technology Partnership<br />
Pelco have announced it has formed a technology<br />
partnership with CNL as they join the Pelco Partner<br />
First Program.<br />
CNL recently integrated several key Pelco video<br />
products into its PSIM platform, <strong>IP</strong>SecurityCenter. This<br />
strategic partnership will see CNL integrating with<br />
other leading products from Pelco. It will allow<br />
further sharing of SDKs, DDKs and APIs, creating<br />
greater integration possibilities between them.<br />
The two companies have a shared view of distributed<br />
intelligence for physical security, a move away from<br />
proprietary technology, which has long been a<br />
limiting factor in truly collaborative physical security<br />
operations. As part of its Open Systems Provider<br />
vision, Pelco launched the Partner First Program, to<br />
build technology relationships with key security<br />
vendors, opening up its eco system and allowing its<br />
users to build integrated best-of-breed security<br />
solutions.<br />
“Pelco has long demonstrated its commitment to<br />
being an Open Systems Provider with successful<br />
integrations and partnerships in a wide range of<br />
areas, including Command and Control and PSIM,”<br />
says Stéphane Lantoine, Pelco API Business<br />
Development Manager EMEA. “We see this security<br />
enabling technology as a way of allowing physical<br />
security to engage with wider business operations.”<br />
“We are delighted to partner with Pelco. Not only is it a<br />
leading company with a clear vision of the future of<br />
security, it is perhaps one of the most recognized<br />
names in the global security industry,” says Matthew<br />
Kushner, CNL President, Americas. “In an age of<br />
increasing demand for interoperability between all<br />
business systems, this is a very positive step forward. It<br />
will help build security systems that are connected,<br />
intelligent and most importantly, more secure. The use<br />
of <strong>IP</strong>SecurityCenter will allow users of Pelco’s products<br />
to integrate with other security systems to form a<br />
complete security management system. It also allows<br />
further future integration possibilities with other<br />
business systems, such as BMS, HR and Logistics.”<br />
The <strong>IP</strong>SecurityCenter platform is aimed at bridging the<br />
narrowing gap between physical security and IT. It<br />
creates network-centric, completely connected<br />
solutions that allow distributed intelligence–whether<br />
video, audio or data, with no proprietary restrictions.<br />
Answering the need to modernize aging physical<br />
security processes to meet new demands, it is being<br />
embraced by some of the leading organizations in the<br />
world.<br />

Codestuff helps CCTV industry to go green<br />
December 2009 saw the publication by the<br />
Scottish Government of a report on the<br />
efficiency and effectiveness of Public Space<br />
CCTV in Scotland. This wide ranging report<br />
makes essential reading for all bodies involved<br />
in CCTV and is already generating much<br />
discussion. Codestuff suggests some <strong>IP</strong>-based<br />
solutions to the problems highlighted in the<br />
Report.<br />
Alternative to replacement – reuse and extend<br />
existing analogue CCTV infrastructure<br />
Creating evidential quality images without<br />
increasing the number of cameras requires the<br />
use of high resolution devices. Megapixel <strong>IP</strong><br />
cameras offer a cost-effective option, but are<br />
incompatible with existing analogue only<br />
systems that use spot monitors, video switcher<br />
matrices, tape storage and digital video<br />
recorders (DVR).<br />
The answer is to build a hybrid analogue and<br />
digital <strong>IP</strong> CCTV system. Such a system can be<br />
created by using <strong>IP</strong> video-to-analogue<br />
converters, <strong>IP</strong> network video recorders and an <strong>IP</strong><br />
based video management system (VMS).<br />
Operators can then obtain full megapixel<br />
benefits such as live or retrospective digital<br />
zooming, whilst the converter provides suitable<br />
video from the <strong>IP</strong> megapixel cameras to the<br />
existing analogue system.<br />
One example of <strong>IP</strong> Video-to-analogue convertors<br />
is the GANZ MPD – nine SIF/CIF streams captured<br />
and presented as single composite video/S-<br />
Video/HDMI output.<br />
This hybrid analogue and digital <strong>IP</strong> CCTV system<br />
can be extended to include viewing and<br />
playback from those DVRs on site that have<br />
unused <strong>IP</strong>-based connectivity within an <strong>IP</strong> VMS<br />
system.<br />
Examples of <strong>IP</strong> connectable legacy DVRs<br />
controllable from <strong>IP</strong> VMS systems are: Vista<br />
Triplex or Triplex2 DVRs using Vista Graphica2,<br />
and Dedicated Micros NetVu enabled DVRs using<br />
GANZ VSo<strong>IP</strong> or ImPerium Integration Ltd’s<br />
ImPerium.<br />
Assist human CCTV operators by adding 24/7<br />
intelligent monitoring<br />
Ensuring constant live surveillance of all CCTV<br />
feeds is impractical. However, by reusing <strong>IP</strong><br />
connectible DVRs, matrices connected to<br />
analogue-to-<strong>IP</strong> converters (such as Codestuff's<br />
6_issue 26<br />
own multi-channel encoder), and new <strong>IP</strong>-based<br />
megapixel cameras in a hybrid CCTV system, <strong>IP</strong>based<br />
video content analysis (VCA) servers can<br />
be used.<br />
A VCA server provides alarms at near real time<br />
speed, and can alert human operators using an<br />
<strong>IP</strong> video management suite, an <strong>IP</strong>-based eventdriven<br />
Video-wall, or by directing video to an<br />
analogue spot monitor via an <strong>IP</strong> Video-toanalogue<br />
convertor.<br />
An example of an add-in <strong>IP</strong> VCA is Codestuff’s<br />
Quorum Detect server. Recommended <strong>IP</strong> Videowalls<br />
are available from Vista, GANZ and<br />
Codestuff.<br />
Providing evidential incident reports compliant<br />
with local, European or international standards<br />
By adopting a hybrid approach - reusing <strong>IP</strong><br />
connectible DVRs, adding analogue to <strong>IP</strong><br />
converters and incorporating new <strong>IP</strong> cameras -<br />
video content containing evidential,<br />
watermarked video footage from a number of<br />
video sources can be extracted and packaged<br />
along with log information ready for distribution<br />
by Blue-ray or DVD.<br />
<strong>IP</strong>-based VMS products provide comprehensive<br />
tools which assist authenticated users to quickly<br />
generate packets of evidence from multiple<br />
sources. This removes the need for police<br />
authorities to remove local recording devices,<br />
which would cause unanticipated partial or<br />
complete loss of current recording capacity.<br />
ImPerium and Graphica2 are examples of <strong>IP</strong> VMS<br />
products that provide multi-camera export<br />
packaging and reporting.<br />
Cross-boundary access to recorded data<br />
A significant issue raised in the Report is the<br />
question of how evidential footage held at a<br />
remote location should be accessed.<br />
For example, courts have been replacing tape<br />
playback hardware with DVD players to allow<br />
playback of exported footage. However, the<br />
Report questions the wisdom of taking this<br />
approach without considering the possibility of<br />
direct secure access to the remote repository<br />
storing this data.<br />
Since 2006, Codestuff has been refining a<br />
broadcasting and transcoding streaming<br />
solution which transmits MPEG4 video over RTSP.<br />
This streaming approach is designed to be<br />
standards compliant from the ground up,<br />
meaning that <strong>IP</strong> video sourced from a hybrid<br />
analogue digital <strong>IP</strong> CCTV site can be viewed<br />
remotely using RTSP players such as Apple<br />
Quicktime, as well as Codestuff's Quorum<br />
products.<br />
By using RTSP streams and communications<br />
security technology such as secure virtual<br />
private networking (VPN), Codestuff can take<br />
video content (either live or recorded) from a<br />
hybrid analogue digital <strong>IP</strong> CCTV system and<br />
deliver it to the courtroom. In keeping with the<br />
Report's recommendations, this is done using<br />
widely adopted video encoding and network<br />
transmission standards rather than a<br />
proprietary mechanism.<br />
About Codestuff<br />
Codestuff has designed and built the Quorum<br />
product range - a feature-rich set of surveillance<br />
system hardware and software components for<br />
small- to large- scale installations of <strong>IP</strong> cameras,<br />
encoders and DVRs. Codestuff technology can<br />
also be incorporated into analogue-only CCTV<br />
installations, to provide access to the widely<br />
recognised benefits of <strong>IP</strong> video surveillance<br />
systems. Trials of Quorum software products can<br />

New <strong>IP</strong> Engineering<br />
Tool from NG Systems<br />
The Gap between<br />
the Analogue and<br />
<strong>IP</strong> CCTV worlds –<br />
GANZ View<br />
NG Systems have added a new instrument to their highly successful 'Ranger'<br />
CCTV test equipment range that has been specifically designed for the<br />
engineer involved in the installation and maintenance of <strong>IP</strong> CCTV systems.<br />
PINGER is a small, lightweight, rechargeable battery-operated unit with a preprogrammed<br />
range of camera manufacturers search algorithms combined<br />
with specialized software and hardware features that can dramatically<br />
reduce the amount of time required to set up an <strong>IP</strong> camera or locate<br />
problems within an <strong>IP</strong> video network.<br />
The accumulation of every additional hour of on-site time saved, during<br />
installation and maintenance, can make a substantial difference to the<br />
bottom line.<br />
Pinger now incorporates a FOCUS METER! Manually focusing an <strong>IP</strong> camera<br />
can be a major problem due to network latency and the difficulty in<br />
assessing optimum focus on a laptop or <strong>IP</strong> monitor screen, especially if<br />
viewed in bright sunlight!<br />
The Pinger focus meter takes away the guesswork by representing optimum<br />
focus in the form of a bar-graph display and as such, is not dependent on<br />
the resolution of an LCD monitor or the engineer’s eyesight!<br />
By connecting Pinger directly to a camera, its current <strong>IP</strong> address, subnet<br />
mask and gateway may be found and re-assigned in seconds, which is<br />
particularly useful on cameras where these details have been lost or<br />
forgotten!<br />
Pinger can search a network to discover and report the existence of all the<br />
cameras it finds*, displaying their make, model, <strong>IP</strong> address, MAC address and<br />
port number on its backlit LCD screen.<br />
Pinger will also report on any <strong>IP</strong> camera, printer, PC, Server, Ethernet switch,<br />
router etc, that support uPNP or SNMP protocols, displaying any relevant<br />
data published by the device.<br />
Individual <strong>IP</strong> addresses may be PINGed or a range of addresses may be<br />
scanned for active devices and their <strong>IP</strong> address and domain name displayed<br />
if available. Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) points may also be analysed in terms<br />
of the measured voltage level and source (End-span or Mid-span).<br />
“The accumulation of every additional hour of on-site time saved, during<br />
installation and maintenance, can make a substantial difference to the<br />
bottom line”<br />
8_issue 26<br />
Everyone seems to be celebrating <strong>IP</strong> CCTV and touting it to be the next best<br />
thing to sliced bread in the security industry. Why not, it truly is – it has too<br />
many cost and performance advantages not to do so. While every<br />
manufacturer is racing against time to come out with their version of the<br />
pure <strong>IP</strong> range of <strong>IP</strong> cameras, Megapixel, etc, we are being blinkered to look at<br />
the end rather than the means to the end.<br />
It is without any doubt that all of us believe that a few years down the line,<br />
there will be no coax, there will be no ugly Matrix, there will be no DVR, there<br />
will be no banks of monitors and it will be purely <strong>IP</strong> with <strong>IP</strong> Virtual Matrix,<br />
Large Plasmas/LCDs, NVRs, Remote Management, etc. But, the reality is, that<br />
users have invested in DVRs, in Video Switchers, in expensive Control Rooms.<br />
These investments cannot be thrown out of the door, just because there is a<br />
new piece of technology for the future. Most manufacturers today say you<br />
can salvage most of your current investment by putting an encoder behind<br />
every analogue camera. However, you will need to bin your DVRs as you will<br />
need to record on their NVRs.<br />
We at CBC believe that more needs to be done in the <strong>IP</strong> sphere where even<br />
the DVR investment can be protected. In our last write up, we spoke about<br />
our new Video Management Suite – VSo<strong>IP</strong>(C). In this write up we specifically<br />
focus on how VSo<strong>IP</strong> helps you maximise your return on investment by<br />
salvaging most of your previous spend in legacy equipment and gear you for<br />
the future complete <strong>IP</strong> infrastructure.<br />
Advanced Analogue System Management<br />
If you buy a DVR today, you get a management software to go with it. If you<br />
wanted to expand your analogue system and you bought another DVR from<br />
another manufacturer in phase 2, you get another management software. The<br />
difficulty is now you have two management suites which do not work with<br />
each other. One of the key drivers behind the philosophy of VSo<strong>IP</strong> was to<br />
provide the user with a management system which would encompass all the<br />
DVRs on site using <strong>IP</strong>. This unique system then gives the benefit of using a<br />
single management system and also multiple points of review and log in. All<br />
this in a simple drag drop and click philosophy.<br />
Alarm Management<br />
VSo<strong>IP</strong> also provides an interface to manage all alarms and outputs on the<br />
DVR using a complex yet simple to use binary approach. This then enables the<br />
user to have complex alarm actions involving devices connected to multiple<br />
DVRs across multiple local or remote sites. Alarm actions can be activating<br />
PTZ actions, bringing up certain cameras, activating analytics, turning lights<br />
on, turning audio on – the options are limitless.
Maps<br />
Cameras on each DVR can be logically placed on floor plans or maps of sites.<br />
Incidents/Alarms occurring in the field of view of these cameras are<br />
highlighted on the maps for easier review and post processing. Maps can be<br />
layered or hierarchical where a top level map has various sublevel maps.<br />
Management of a large number of cameras is made easy by having a map<br />
approach.<br />
More bang for the buck<br />
Using VSo<strong>IP</strong> higher performance can be drawn out of an analogue system<br />
where more than 30 days of storage is required. Additional data from these<br />
cameras can be sent to an NVR i.e. a Server in the same network. It can also<br />
be used for business continuity where the customer may choose to have a<br />
back up of data on all their DVRs. It can also convert a single point failure<br />
system into a completely distributed architecture based on <strong>IP</strong>.<br />
Security audits<br />
One of the areas that conventional DVR applications stopped were audit trails.<br />
VSo<strong>IP</strong> lets you generate comprehensive audit reports even for analogue<br />
systems. The security manager would have more control, visibility and can<br />
command accountability from staff.<br />
Visualisation<br />
VSo<strong>IP</strong> provides a sophisticated user interface which can provide live views,<br />
playbacks, administration, maps. The benefit is these features can be applied<br />
to DVRs from multiple makes. Video can be viewed on large TFT/Plasma<br />
screens using our VSo<strong>IP</strong> Video Wall software. Smart sequences, salvos and<br />
guard tours can be programmed and assigned to users.<br />
Plus <strong>IP</strong><br />
In addition to what you can achieve with DVRs VSo<strong>IP</strong> can also work with new<br />
age pure <strong>IP</strong> products like <strong>IP</strong> Cameras, Encoders, NVRs, <strong>IP</strong> Video Walls,<br />
Decoders, etc. VSo<strong>IP</strong> can therefore do all that we spoke about in the first<br />
paragraph about run of the mill <strong>IP</strong> manufacturers. Top this up with Analytics,<br />
which can be applied to <strong>IP</strong> Video streams or streams from DVRs, you have a<br />
one of a kind product in the market which maximises return on investment<br />
from legacy equipment and new age infrastructure.<br />
Summary<br />
VSo<strong>IP</strong> is focussed on the means to the end and the end itself, where the end<br />
is pure <strong>IP</strong> and the means to the end is to gradually build up towards <strong>IP</strong> where<br />
all the new extensions are pure <strong>IP</strong> cameras while you continue to utilise old<br />
infrastructure like DVRs. Once the digital age truly dawns, you have a system<br />
which is ready to take on it.

Plustek Helps Drive Down Emergency Service<br />
Accidents<br />
Fire Station Installs<br />
NVR 4200V In-<br />
Vehicle Video<br />
Recorder<br />
Plustek Technology Inc., announces that the<br />
Rendsburg Fire Station, Germany, has successfully<br />
trialled Plustek’s mobile network video recorder<br />
and is now deploying the systems throughout its<br />
fleet.<br />
The Rendsburg Fire Station has installed on each<br />
vehicle one Plustek NVR 4200V and two AXIS<br />
209MFD network cameras. The solution includes<br />
wireless data transmission to allow true 'real time<br />
monitoring' from either back at base or any<br />
PC/laptop/phone with access to the Internet. This<br />
solution will help to monitor emergency driving<br />
and incident reporting in order to help drive down<br />
accidents from fire engines on the road and<br />
increase their efficiency.<br />
The security installation provides emergency staff<br />
with video access to all vehicles over <strong>IP</strong>, allowing<br />
the viewing of live or recorded video from the NVR<br />
4200V’s internal hard disk drive. The ability to<br />
review a fire engine’s course of action in an<br />
emergency callout is vital for<br />
improving safety standards<br />
and minimising road accidents.<br />
“We’re delighted that the<br />
Rendsburg Fire Station has<br />
chosen our in-vehicle security<br />
solution,” said Plustek’s<br />
Business Development<br />
Manager, Edward Hill.<br />
“Engineered to withstand the<br />

heavy vibrations generated by large vehicles such<br />
as a fire engine, along with the ability to withstand<br />
temperature fluctuations, the NVR 4200V is the<br />
ideal choice for dependability, long life, and low<br />
maintenance.”<br />
Plustek NVR 4200V<br />
Plustek’s NVR 4200V is a mobile network video<br />
recorder specifically designed for transit<br />
applications. It is the ideal choice for mobile<br />
surveillance in all types of public and commercial<br />
vehicles such as fire engines, taxis, vans, buses,<br />
trains, trams, limousines and heavy goods vehicles<br />
because it can multiplex record up to four<br />
cameras at up to 60fps, while concurrently<br />
handling panic/system alarms, processing GPS<br />
positing data, transmitting positional co-ordinates<br />
via SMS and using intelligent power management.<br />
Operating on a Linux framework, the NVR 4200V is<br />
less vulnerable to virus attack and offers much<br />
lower power consumption than PC-based<br />
surveillance solutions. The NVR 4200V records up<br />
to four channels in MJPEG format and provides<br />
several capturing options, such as alarm<br />
recording, schedule recording and manual<br />
recordings.<br />
Key Features of the NVR 4200V<br />
• Robust embedded Linux system for low power<br />
consumption<br />
• Optimised RISC microprocessor cores for<br />
reliable surveillance<br />
• Live view monitoring and real-time recording<br />
from <strong>IP</strong>-based cameras<br />
Easy access live-view manual PTZ control<br />
• Multiple recording methods: schedule, alarm,<br />
and manual recordings<br />
• Dynamic remote monitoring and playback<br />
management through Web browsers and<br />
MultiManager software (up to 16 channels<br />
from PC)<br />
• Supports ActiveX and Java script for various<br />
Web browsers on the market<br />
• Multiple levels of security management for<br />
user access control<br />
• Maintenance free! Continuous recording,<br />
automatic over-write for 24/7 all day/night<br />
surveillance<br />
• Ring buffer ability, where old recordings and<br />
images can be overwritten automatically or<br />
deleted after the user-defined time<br />
• Supports Megapixel <strong>IP</strong>-based camera<br />
recordings<br />
• Withheld >1G shock vibration test, in<br />
accordance to ISO 16750-3.<br />

Great Value for your Bucks at<br />
<strong>IP</strong>-in-Action LIVE Milton Keynes<br />
The <strong>IP</strong>-in-Action LIVE programme for 2009 concluded<br />
at a great new venue, the MK Dons Stadium, home of<br />
the 1st Division football club<br />
Even before the day started over 20 members and<br />
guests gathered together on the evening before the<br />
event for the Network Dinner. Providing a great<br />
opportunity to chat with colleagues and peers the<br />
evening consisted of drinks in the hotel bar followed<br />
by a meal in the restaurant and a few more drinks in<br />
the bar!<br />
The Exhibition area had once again sold-out in advance<br />
of the day and the 90 plus guests and members had<br />
the opportunity to spend quality time viewing and<br />
discussing the excellent display of the very latest<br />
products and services using <strong>IP</strong> technology from more<br />
than 30 exhibitors.<br />
Comprehensive Seminar Programme<br />
With the Vertical theme of “Retail Applications” and the<br />
Technical theme of "Convergence and Integration" <strong>IP</strong>in-Action<br />
LIVE Bucks included an excellent seminar<br />
programme that provided a full Agenda of informative<br />
and educational presentations.<br />
Following introductions the first presentation of the<br />
day was “Retail Traffic Analysis” presented by Peter<br />
Weller from Verint Systems. Peter explained how a<br />
standard CCTV system could be used to analyse<br />
shoppers behaviour in a retail environment, including<br />
marketing tools such as counting and tracking shoppers<br />
through the stores. He also identified the managerial<br />
advantages of being able to measure the success of<br />
“end-caps” (the displays at the end of aisles) and<br />
promotions along with workforce optimisation.<br />
<strong>IP</strong> <strong>UserGroup</strong> Doubles-Up in Ireland with<br />
a Two-Centre <strong>IP</strong>-in-Action LIVE Event.<br />
In association with the Irish Security Industry<br />
Association and the CSIT (Queens University,<br />
Belfast).<br />
Following the great success of the Dublin event in<br />
2008, it was always our intention to return and now<br />
with a kind invitation from the CSIT (Centre for<br />
Secure Information Technology) to host an event at<br />
their base, Queens University Belfast we introduce:<br />
<strong>IP</strong>-in-Action LIVE Ireland (North & South).<br />
This two-centre event is planned for the 7th and 8th<br />
July 2010 and is expected to be a very popular<br />
event with Affiliates, Members and guests alike (just<br />
like Dublin in 2008). Each of the days will follow the<br />
same successful model of a full programme of<br />
Educational Seminars along with our ever popular<br />
table-top Exhibition Area.<br />
In conjunction with the Irish Security Industry<br />
Association, the Dublin event will be held at the<br />
14_issue 26<br />
This was followed by Jason Hill, Managing Director at<br />
Merit LILIN who provided an introduction to the ONVIF<br />
initiative. “All about ONVIF – Open Standards for <strong>IP</strong><br />
Video” included an explanation that ONVIF (Open<br />
Network Video Interface Forum) was the open industry<br />
forum for the development of a global standard for the<br />
interface of network video products, how it affected<br />
the market and the benefits associated with it. Jason<br />
also provided a comparison with the PSIA initiative and<br />
idenitied the differences between the two programmes.<br />
Following a short break for refreshments and some<br />
time in the exhibition area, Ramon Grado, Managing<br />
Director EMEA at IQinVision gave a lively and amusing<br />
presentation “The Benefits of MegaPixel Technology in<br />
Retail”. Ramon took a look at the argument for<br />
investing in network infrastructure and megapixel<br />
cameras in retail applications, raising the issues of ROI<br />
through reduced shrinkage, improved merchandising<br />
performance and generally improving profit and loss.<br />
Further presentations included “Wireless Technology<br />
for CCTV and Physical Security” from Ray Heppel, UK<br />
Manager for Fluidmesh Networks, who reviewed this<br />
fast growing area and taking a look at wireless<br />
infrastructures and industrial automations and Luis<br />
Coello, VP Business Development at Axxonsoft who<br />
presented “The SafeCity Project – Controlling over<br />
150,000 Cameras”. In this impressive case study<br />
presentation, Luis showcased the use of an open<br />
platform video management system to overcome the<br />
challenges faced by delivering this citywide solution<br />
using both <strong>IP</strong> and analogue cameras as well as ANPR<br />
emergency points.<br />
Regency Hotel on Wednesday 7th July – an excellent<br />
venue, with the Belfast event the following day,<br />
Thursday 8th July, at the CSIT complex on the<br />
campus of Queens University Belfast.<br />
<strong>IP</strong>-in-Action LIVE Ireland (North & South) is a special<br />
event over and above our usual four <strong>IP</strong>-in-Action<br />
LIVE events for 2010 with special arrangements for<br />
companies wishing to attend both days (see right).<br />
Exhibition Area - LIVE Demonstrations<br />
Once again the experts were on hand to demonstrate<br />
some of the very latest <strong>IP</strong> products and services<br />
currently available in the marketplace and answer the<br />
visitors’ questions in a relaxed and informal<br />

Siqura VMS is Now More Proficient<br />
than Ever Before<br />
Optelecom-NKF announces the release of its recently improved video<br />
management system (VMS) software application, Siqura VMS 5.4.<br />
Siqura VMS 5.4 is a software management<br />
application intended for security purposes in<br />
which reliable and high-resolution recording and<br />
search options are of the utmost importance for<br />
preventing calamity and controlling crime.<br />
Allowing up to 20 servers and 640 video, audio,<br />
data, and I/O channels, Siqura VMS 5.4 is ideal for<br />
both local and extended systems. The software<br />
includes features such as intelligent motion<br />
detection, continuous 24/7 recording, real-time<br />
monitoring, and playback of recorded video, and it<br />
can handle video with MPEG-4, MJPEG, or H.264<br />
compression. Since Siqura VMS 5.4 is compatible<br />
with an extensive range of third-party products,<br />
this software is easy to integrate into an existing<br />
system or to use as networks expand.<br />
Consequently, any organization, from a shop or<br />
bank to a chain of petrol stations, can easily install<br />
Siqura VMS 5.4 on a standard Windows PC and rest<br />
assured that should an incident (such as a crime)<br />
occur, it can tackle the situation at hand and<br />
evaluate it afterwards.<br />
Siqura® Helps Secure 23<br />
Paris Tunnels<br />
Optelecom-NKF has been awarded a contract with<br />
the Direction Interdépartementale des Routes d’Ilede-France<br />
(DIRIF) to implement a video surveillance<br />
system for acquiring, transmitting, and recording<br />
video in 23 tunnels in the Paris area.<br />
Directed and financed by the French Ministry of<br />
Equipment, it is the largest traffic monitoring<br />
project of its type ever implemented in Europe and<br />
the first to fully utilize automatic incident detection<br />
(AID) applications. Terms of the multi-year contract<br />
were not disclosed.<br />
“We’re pleased to join companies such as SDEL,<br />
Satelec, Clemessy, Traficon---all working to make<br />
France’s highways among the safest in the world,”<br />
said Dave Patterson, Optelecom-NKF’s CEO and<br />
president. “This is a major endeavor. The overall<br />
project includes 1800 cameras that will stream<br />
MPEG-4 encoded video via Siqura video servers for<br />
real-time viewing and recording on Siqura intelligent<br />
network video recorders (i-NVRs). The project’s<br />
Siqura video servers are H.264 ready, making this<br />
installation future proof for upgrades over time.”<br />
16_issue 26<br />
Offering an array of new features, it is now<br />
possible to apply privacy masks in Siqura VMS 5.4<br />
to conceal sensitive areas of a camera scene, such<br />
as point-of-sale keypads in a shop or windows in a<br />
city center surveillance system. The control of<br />
pan/tilt/zoom (PTZ) cameras has also been<br />
expanded to make operation easier and more<br />
This historic project is the result of<br />
recommendations made by the French Minister of<br />
the Interior and the Minister of Equipment,<br />
Transportation, and Housing, following an<br />
investigation of the 1999 Mont Blanc Tunnel fire,<br />
which resulted in the loss of 39 lives and an<br />
estimated 392 million euros in tunnel repairs.<br />
Today, every tunnel in France longer than 200<br />
meters is required to be equipped with an AID<br />
solution. These solutions are able to detect all major<br />
incidents, such as slow moving or stopped vehicles,<br />
smoke, wrong-way drivers, and fallen objects.<br />
efficient. In contrast to previous versions, Siqura<br />
VMS 5.4 also includes a browser-based client with<br />
live viewing and playback functionality in addition<br />
to its already-existing configuration and<br />
workstation client programs. Users are thus<br />
effortlessly able to observe the overall security<br />
situation from any location. Moreover, version 5.4<br />
makes it possible to define and utilize multiple<br />
configuration servers, ensuring that extensive<br />
systems perform optimally.<br />
In order to keep a clear overview of all these new<br />
and enhanced features, Siqura VMS 5.4 contains a<br />
System Monitor application, which provides an ata-glance<br />
synopsis of the surveillance system. The<br />
System Monitor program also allows users to<br />
monitor and export a wide range of system-related<br />
information.<br />
Furthermore, Siqura VMS 5.4 is part of the Siqura<br />
product line, an extensive collection of video<br />
surveillance equipment offering complete<br />
solutions and reputed for quality and reliability.<br />

Xtralis Helps Madrid Metro Mark Its 90th Anniversary<br />
Xtralis, a leading provider of intelligent fire<br />
detection and security solutions, have announced<br />
that in a ceremony in the city of Madrid, CEO Samir<br />
Samhouri honoured the Metro for its 90th<br />
anniversary celebration and for its forward-thinking<br />
deployment of VESDA by Xtralis aspirating smoke<br />
detectors (ASDs) across the Madrid Metro system to<br />
safeguard passengers, staff and rail infrastructure.<br />
Covering more than 127 kilometres of track on 11<br />
lines running beneath the city, Madrid Metro serves<br />
423 million passengers each year.<br />
For years, thousands of VESDA detectors have<br />
ensured reliable, early warning smoke detection<br />
across more than 170 underground railway stations,<br />
retail shops and escalators in the Madrid Metro<br />
environment. Selected for its effectiveness in<br />
demanding critical-infrastructure environments,<br />
VESDA detects the earliest threat of fire across the<br />
entire Metro system, eliminating costly and<br />
disruptive downtime and protecting against<br />
catastrophic losses due to fire.<br />
As the fire detection solution of choice for Madrid<br />
Metro, VESDA is widely implemented across the<br />
system in:<br />
• Transformer substations<br />
• Escalators, elevators and concourses<br />
• Switching and signal rooms<br />
• Command centres and the Rail Museum<br />
In addition, Madrid Metro operates the world’s<br />
largest fleet of on-board, fully automated ASDprotected<br />
trains, ensuring the utmost in safety for<br />
18_issue 26<br />
rolling stock and passengers. VESDA provides<br />
actionable intelligence at the earliest threat of fire,<br />
ensuring that command centre personnel and train<br />
operators can take proactive steps in real time to<br />
avert disaster before it strikes.<br />
“We are pleased to be a part of Madrid Metro’s 90th<br />
anniversary celebration and proud of their longstanding<br />
commitment to the broad adoption of ASD,<br />
which sets a best-practise example for major transit<br />
systems around the world,” said Samir Samhouri,<br />
president and CEO of Xtralis. “Our VESDA solution is<br />
the defacto standard for the most demanding<br />
critical-infrastructure environments, and Madrid<br />
Metro’s stringent early warning requirements<br />
demonstrate their leadership and dedication to<br />
preserving passenger safety and enhancing<br />
operational continuity and performance.”<br />
VESDA is the only ASD solution designed for use in<br />
harsh and confined environments with a zero<br />
tolerance for fire, such as underneath railway station<br />
escalators and in service rooms and ventilation duct<br />
work. VESDA uses small tubes to collect air samples<br />
from underneath the moving stairways and above<br />
escalator motors. The samples are passed through a<br />
multi-stage filter where advanced laser detection<br />
technology identifies the presence of fire before<br />
visible smoke can be detected, allowing fire safety<br />
personnel to address the threat before it escalates.<br />
COE’s high quality, rugged products excel in the<br />
seaport environment, as evidenced by our<br />
installations at Gunsan Port, the Port of Singapore,<br />

London Overground Rail Operations Implementing Nextiva<br />
Verint Systems have announced that<br />
London Overground Rail Operations<br />
Ltd.(LOROL) is in the process of<br />
implementing the Nextiva® <strong>IP</strong>-based video<br />
solution from Verint Video Intelligence<br />
Solutions across 40 stations.<br />
The solution is being delivered in partnership<br />
with Amey, itself a key partner of LOROL and<br />
Network Rail.<br />
LOROL, a joint venture between MTR<br />
Corporation of Hong Kong and Deutsche Bahn<br />
AG of Germany, was formed to create a worldclass<br />
transportation system for London. Verint<br />
will deploy more than 1,500 Nextiva <strong>IP</strong> cameras<br />
integrated with its Nextiva Video Management<br />
software. The solution is designed to enhance<br />
passenger safety, deter vandalism and crime,<br />
and improve passenger rail travel experiences.<br />
The Nextiva solution will be integrated to a<br />
series of platform-based passenger “helppoints”<br />
across the network of stations, with<br />
video managed from a central control room in<br />
London.<br />
LOROL selected Nextiva in August 2009 based<br />
on its proven application in the rail industry,<br />
according to Alistair Shutler, Software Manager,<br />
Consulting for Amey. “Verint demonstrated the<br />
ability to provide end-to-end <strong>IP</strong> solutions and<br />
integrate seamlessly with other technologies on<br />
the network,” he explains. “The technical<br />
understanding of <strong>IP</strong> and CCTV that Verint has<br />
demonstrated, combined with the quality,<br />
robustness and reliability of the technology,<br />
were key factors in its appointment.”<br />
“Our expertise in this sector, working with some<br />
of the biggest names in the rail industry across<br />
Europe, has been recognised by London<br />
Overground Rail Operations, and we are<br />
delighted to be working together on this<br />
initiative," says David Parcell, Managing<br />
Director, EMEA for Verint Systems.

Bodø airport in Norway – video system based on widearea<br />
surveillance provides more security<br />
Bodø airport is situated in Norway’s Nordland province. In<br />
addition to flights to Oslo and other larger Norwegian towns,<br />
regional airlines fly from Bodø to the Lofoten islands. In 2007,<br />
the airport counted about 1.5 million passengers. To monitor<br />
security-related areas indoors and outdoors, Siemens<br />
supplied and installed an intelligent video surveillance<br />
system. Working with Avinor AS Norway, the airport operator,<br />
which is responsible for almost the entire airport network.<br />
Avinor wanted an efficient video solution capable of<br />
effectively monitoring important sections of the airport<br />
building, such as baggage handling, the security check area,<br />
and the so-called ”Critical Part of the Security Restricted<br />
Area“ (CSRA). In addition, there was a requirement to ensure<br />
the security of parked airplanes and to improve the daily<br />
work processes at the airport.<br />
Avinor’s security manager Haavard Breivik: “We chose<br />
Siemens as security partner for Bodø airport to improve<br />
security of critical areas within the airport. With a completely<br />
tailored security solution to suit the specific needs, they have<br />
heighten security while increasing the efficiency and<br />
operating reliability of the airport.”<br />
The initial stage of the project covered the design of the<br />
system. This included site visits to determine the exact<br />
positions of the individual cameras and their viewing angles –<br />
mandatory requirements. Especially in the case of intelligent<br />
video solutions, such as Siveillance SiteIQ and Siveillance<br />
People, it is extremely important to position the cameras as<br />
accurately as possible, thus making certain that the best<br />
detection results are obtained. Also, Norway’s special weather<br />
conditions had to be taken into consideration, particularly for<br />
outdoor installation. The findings from the project were<br />
written down in a detailed report and served as a basis for<br />
the technical description of the system.<br />
The systems that were installed are Siveillance SiteIQ and<br />
Siveillance People – two innovative and intelligent video<br />
solutions. Siveillance SiteIQ ensures surveillance of very<br />
large areas with only one display. An aerial photograph of the<br />
airport is used to display movements in the form of classified<br />
icons showing people, cars, trucks and airplanes. Crucial<br />
alarm zones were set up. In the event of an alarm, the<br />
respective video image appears on the display “picture-inpicture“<br />
and on defined alarm monitors.<br />
Siveillance People allows the use of various types of video<br />
content analysis plug-ins, such as Queue, Crowd or Baggage.<br />
At Bodø airport, the Queue plug-in was installed for the first<br />
time. This device monitors the queue at security check to<br />
determine the number of people waiting, enabling the system<br />
to inform about the anticipated waiting time for leaving<br />
passengers and for staffing planning.<br />
The core of the plant is the video center consisting of two<br />
system cabinets. Accommodated in these cabinets are the<br />
servers of the intelligent video surveillance systems, the IVM<br />
video management systems with I/O server, the digital<br />
SISTORE CX 8 video recorder and a SIMATRIX NEO video<br />
crossbar. SIMATRIX NEO ensures operation should the network<br />
fail. The cameras are connected to the center via fiber optic<br />
transmission. Another challenge was integration of the<br />
existing dome cameras into the new system.<br />
The entire video surveillance system is monitored and<br />
operated from a control center using the <strong>IP</strong> network or a<br />
redundant operator panel with analog monitors. If an alarm is<br />
set off either automatically or manually, relevant camera<br />
images appear directly on the alarm monitors.<br />
A sophisticated user and access right concept was developed<br />
in cooperation with the client. This concept allows certain<br />
users with individual user rights to access the system or parts<br />
of it from designated locations across the entire airport.<br />
Airport personnel attended specific training courses to<br />
become familiar with the system’s functions and operation,<br />
ensuring optimization of the work processes at the airport.<br />
The airport at Bodø now operates a video surveillance system<br />
perfectly tailored to its special needs. All security-related<br />
areas are reliably monitored, camera images are recorded<br />
and, in the event of an alarm, a quick response is ensured. In<br />
particular, surveillance of critical open spaces with only one<br />
TFT display is very user-friendly. What’s more, the statistical<br />
information provided by the system about the waiting area at<br />
security check will help make optimum use of personnel.<br />
German footwear specialists uses Basler video motion<br />
detection to avoid break-ins and vandalism<br />
A German company, HAIX has been developing special<br />
footwear for firefighters, police, military personnel, and<br />
hunters since 1948. For their new production facility in<br />
Croatia, HAIX were looking for a flexible, highperformance<br />
video surveillance system for indoor and<br />
outdoor surveillance of the production facility. The<br />
cameras had to provide the ability to adjust to varying<br />
lighting conditions from very bright during the day to dim<br />
at night.<br />
HAIX also needed motion detection functionality that<br />
would help prevent break-ins and property damage.<br />
Bandwidth consumption was an additional concern,<br />
requiring the video surveillance solution to have specific<br />
compression capabilities while still delivering high-quality<br />
images.<br />
This combination of requirements pointed to an <strong>IP</strong>-based<br />
video surveillance solution.<br />
Solution and Benefits:<br />
HAIX uses two different Basler <strong>IP</strong> camera models. For<br />
indoor use, HAIX OBUCA decided on Basler B<strong>IP</strong>-640c<br />
cameras that can automatically adjust the iris opening,<br />
exposure time, and gain in response to changing lighting<br />
conditions.<br />
To allow for outdoor surveillance, even at night with<br />
almost no external light available, HAIX OBUCA uses<br />
Basler B<strong>IP</strong>-640c-dn cameras with true day/night capability.<br />
These cameras are equipped with a mechanism that<br />
places an IR cut filter in front of the sensor in day mode<br />
and removes the filter in night mode. This allows the<br />
cameras to correctly represent colours using the visible<br />
light available during the daytime and to produce high<br />
quality black and white images when there is only IR light<br />
available at night. To protect the cameras from dust,<br />
moisture, and extreme temperatures, they were placed in<br />
protective housings.<br />
All of the cameras are connected to a central monitoring<br />
station via an Ethernet network. Basler <strong>IP</strong> cameras each<br />
have the ability to transmit up to three image streams. All<br />
of the streams can be encoded as motion JPEG, and one<br />
of the streams can also be encoded as either MPEG-4 or<br />
H.264. On each stream, the user can adjust the output<br />
scaling, frame rate scaling, AOI, and encoder mode to<br />
lower the amount of bandwidth that the camera is using.<br />
At the central monitoring station, the surveillance system<br />
is controlled and images are evaluated using NETAVIS<br />
Observer Video Management Software. The operator can<br />
make use of the different camera functions such as<br />
motion detection and alarm buffering. This means that if<br />
the camera detects a person approaching the production<br />
facility, an alarm can be issued via email, FTP, HTTP,<br />
software, or an electrical output signal. An alarm buffer<br />
can be set up so that images are captured and stored<br />
both a few seconds before and a few seconds after an<br />
alarm event is detected. An operator can play back the<br />
buffer and easily see what triggered an alarm event. This<br />
way, a potential break-in can be stopped instead of just<br />
being captured by a camera.<br />

Management Solution at Lincolnshire<br />
County Council<br />
Lincolnshire County Council acquired a new office<br />
complex in which they sublease offices to different<br />
companies. A leading system integrator in the UK<br />
contacted RISCO Group to provide a high-end<br />
integrated system solution for the project.<br />
The Challenge<br />
The new office complex consists of 48 offices located<br />
on 3 floors, each floor has 2 areas with 8 offices in<br />
each area. Lincolnshire County Council required one<br />
system solution to monitor all sub-leased offices while<br />
providing a customized and individual security and<br />
access control solution to each company in the<br />
complex.<br />
Access control points were required for all areas, while<br />
each office required its own security system for<br />
independent use. In addition, the office complex has its<br />
own car park intended for office users only and access<br />
control of the car park barrier was required.<br />
Additionally, the security management system needed<br />
to handle different entry authorization levels for<br />
different personnel working on different schedules. As<br />
companies run their operations varyingly and often<br />
work on weekends and in the evenings, the system<br />
had to provide flexibility to support this.<br />

solution that met all requirements. The security<br />
solution in the building is comprised of ProSYS<br />
Integrated Security System together with iWISE<br />
detectors in each office; an additional ProSYS is<br />
installed in the shared building space to protect the<br />
stairwell and the main entrance. RISCO Group s Access<br />
Control system manages access of different personnel<br />
with different authorization levels into each area in<br />
the building. The car park barrier is controlled by the<br />
Access Control system using the same card access<br />
given to each of the 150 employees working in the<br />
building. A caretaker checks the status of the system<br />
via SynopSYS and ensures each office is armed at the<br />
close of each working day. In case an authorized<br />
worker enters the building during the evenings or on<br />
the weekend, SynopSYS identifies the employee<br />
according to the access card ID and the caretaker<br />
disarms the relevant partition in the main ProSYS to<br />
allow the employee entrance to the relevant area and<br />
office.<br />
The Highlights<br />
•SynopSYS enables control and management of the<br />
whole complex from one user interface, allowing to<br />
set/unset the security system, lock down doors with<br />
ease and alert the authorities in case of an intrusion<br />
attempt.<br />
•The system is extremely flexible, easy to manage and<br />
operate; and serves the building's purpose of subleasing<br />
office space.<br />
•Currently over 150 people are using the system, and<br />
additional users are added immediately as required.<br />
The Customer's Point of View<br />
The System Integrator, R.J. Coleman commented; "The<br />
SynopSYS Building Management Software provides the<br />
perfect management tool, this high-end project was<br />
easy to implement and install". The Centre Manager of<br />
Lincolnshire County Council added; "RISCO Group has<br />
not only met all our requirements, but have surpassed<br />
all our expectations. We will be happy to use this<br />
system solution in our upcoming projects".

Leading Bank Installs Avigilon<br />
Cameras in Canary Wharf<br />
BFI Optilas Ltd has worked together with security integrator<br />
Niscayah, and the UK’s leading bank to design and supply the<br />
latest Mega Pixel CCTV solution in London’s banking centre,<br />
Canary Wharf.<br />
Canary Wharf is London’s leading business and banking region being home<br />
to some of the UK’s most prestigious brands. With the bank being based in<br />
such a reputable location meant only the best CCTV solution would be<br />
considered.<br />
Avigilon’s leading end to end mega pixel solution was chosen for its<br />
exceptional recorded image quality and ease of use for security staff. The<br />
system boasts camera resolutions of up to five mega pixel, providing<br />
security staff with up to 15 times the resolution and quality of their<br />
current analogue system, utilising Avigilon’s unique visually lossless<br />
compression has ensured the recorded footage on Avigilon preconfigured<br />
servers is able to provide images suitable for identification and vidential<br />
purposes.<br />
“The new Mega Pixel cameras have transformed our recorded image<br />
quality and the ease of use will benefit all staff involved,” The bank<br />
security manager commented.<br />
The system is one of the few digital recording systems to comply with the<br />
latest BS 8495 digital recording standard. Lifetime updates to Avigilon’s<br />
award winning software will enable the system to be upgraded as and<br />
when technology or uidelines change. This means the system will continue<br />
to improve at no extra expense to the organisation and provide an<br />
excellent base for future expansion and integration as needs arise.<br />
Utilising existing analogue cable runs and network infrastructure shows<br />
how this Mega Pixel solution can drastically improve image and system<br />
performance whilst retaining existing investment and infrastructure. The<br />
mega pixel cameras have been positioned in high risk areas, where<br />
identification and indisputable detail is required. Using Avigilon JPEG2000<br />
visually lossless compression, allowed the system design to be based on<br />
Avigilon’s mathematical design tools to provide a system fit for purpose.<br />
Using other compression methods would mean more guess work and less<br />
mathematical design and therefore more risk for the system not meeting<br />
the end user requirements.<br />

Arecont Vision Launches<br />
Compact JPEG Megapixel<br />
Series of Cameras.<br />
Expansion of the Popular MegaVideo® JPEG<br />
Line Now Available in Smaller Form Factor<br />
1.3 to 5 MP Color and Day/Night Versions.<br />
Arecont Vision, the industry<br />
leader in <strong>IP</strong>-based megapixel<br />
camera technology, today<br />
announces the launch of their<br />
new compact JPEG series of<br />
cameras in 1.3, 2, 3 or 5<br />
megapixel formats. These<br />
CMOS sensor cameras were<br />
designed to address cost<br />
sensitivities in the JPEG<br />
market as well as the size constraints of environmental housings.<br />
Although the compact cameras are approximately half the size<br />
and one-third lighter than their MegaVideo®full size counterparts,<br />
the new line offers identical picture quality, frame rates, image<br />
processing and many core functionalities as the full size units.<br />
These cameras have been completely redesigned to allow for<br />
significantly lower price points while maintaining performance.<br />
Equipped with on camera motion detection and 64 zone capability,<br />
the cameras provide custom programmable resolution, brightness,<br />
saturation, gamma, sharpness and tint. Ideal for installations in<br />
environmental housings where a lighter, more space-saving design<br />
is required, the Arecont Vision Compact JPEG cameras function via<br />
PoE, eliminating the need for auxiliary power. In addition to color<br />
and day/night models, all Arecont Vision Compact JPEG cameras<br />
feature Moonlight mode: an extended exposure and proprietary<br />
noise cancelling feature.<br />
“Our goal was to design and implement a compact camera that<br />
offered equal performance and nearly identical feature sets to our<br />
existing JPEG MegaVideo®line at price points set to match or beat<br />
VGA prices to assure no-cost-penalty megapixel selection for cost<br />
sensitive projects. Our new compact series provides the same<br />
exceptional image quality, low light sensitivity and fast frame<br />
rates that customers enjoy with all our products.” said Dr. Michael<br />
Kaplinsky, CEO, Arecont Vision. “This new offering further expands<br />
what is already the broadest megapixel product line in the<br />
industry.”<br />
Arecont Vision’s Compact JPEG 1.3 megapixel models (AV1310 and<br />

Hikvision Monitors High-rollers at<br />
Agadir, Morocco Casino<br />
Network megapixel cameras and <strong>IP</strong>-addressable<br />
speed domes from Hikvision, the leading supplier<br />
of digital video surveillance products, are being<br />
used at a casino within the five-star Atlantic<br />
Palace Hotel in Agadir, one of Morocco’s premium<br />
gambling resorts. The Casino Agadir Atlantic<br />
Palace offers slot machines, roulette and many<br />
forms of poker.<br />
Local installers CST required integration of<br />
network megapixel cameras with <strong>IP</strong>-addressable<br />
speed domes. They also insisted both camera<br />
types should be compatible with the Aimetis<br />
Symphony intelligent video surveillance software<br />
that had been chosen to provide video<br />
management and analytics.<br />
The casino is using network cameras from<br />
Hikvision which offer 1.3 megapixel data, vandalresistance<br />
as well as video preview and support<br />
for Power over Ethernet (POE.) Speed dome<br />
cameras have long been a staple in casino<br />
installations and this venue is deploying<br />
Hikvision’s <strong>IP</strong>-addressable speed domes which<br />
offer 360º pan range, 400º/s pan preset speed<br />
and 160º/s tilt preset speed.<br />
Casinos demand exceptional optical performance<br />
with varying fields of view needed from cameras<br />
operating under divergent lighting conditions<br />
across card tables, roulette wheels and gaming<br />
28_issue 26<br />
machines. Footage must be of a quality that will<br />
satisfy evidential demands.<br />
The Atlantic Palace is benefiting from instant<br />
playback at high resolution which is vital for<br />
prompt resolution of disputes and revenue<br />
protection. Casinos must assess many aspects of<br />
visitor behavior, guarding against sleight of hand,<br />
substitution of dice, theft of chips and<br />
inappropriate card counting.<br />
The Hikvision network megapixel cameras support<br />
dual compression streaming, network intercom<br />
functions, sensor alarm input and motion<br />
detection. The speed domes are similarly featurerich,<br />
and compact dimensions contribute to covert<br />
surveillance. The need to cover all 17 of the<br />
Atlantic Palace gaming tables at high frame rates<br />
throughout operational hours produces enormous<br />
RAID demands and the dome units optimise<br />
storage requirements by employing Hikvision’s<br />
H.264 dual stream real-time compression.<br />
A platform that can support multi-screen preview<br />
and playback as a high-definition preview is<br />
crucial in gaming environments where pit bosses<br />
strive to keep play continuous and resolve<br />
disputes promptly. An <strong>IP</strong> network which could<br />
function with minimal transmission delay using <strong>IP</strong><br />
keyboards was high on the client’s requirements<br />
together with smooth pan/tilt/zoom functionality<br />
that was free of time lag. Like any company<br />
operating a gambling venue, management here<br />
must detect subtle behaviour from would-be<br />
fraudsters such as programming of slot machines<br />
using hand-held devices, palming of chips and<br />
card switching. Movement associated with this<br />
activity can be barely discernible to the human<br />
eye, and transmission delay or degradation of<br />
image through limitations in equipment<br />
performance is not acceptable.<br />
Managers needed to ensure the installation could<br />
receive data from legacy third-party analogue<br />
cameras, a task that was achieved using<br />
Hikvision’s DS-4016HCI compression boards which<br />
exploit H.264 and variable bitrate coding to<br />
provide high compression ratios while preserving<br />
image quality. Security staff at the casino have<br />
commented on longer recording times, system<br />
reliability and reduced maintenance costs since<br />
the optimising of RAID usage.<br />
Comments from pit bosses suggest return on<br />
investment (ROI) has been immediate. A table is<br />
usually shut down while management reviews<br />
disputes, so disruption associated with examining<br />
footage must be minimised, with search, playback<br />
and analysis being streamlined.<br />
Mr Polo Cai, Vice President of Hikvision, said: “In<br />
view of their need to detect fraud and theft as<br />
well as minimising table downtime, casinos are<br />
some of our most discerning clients. Image<br />
degradation in a sector where cash and gambling<br />
chips are handled is unacceptable. Hikvision is<br />
delighted that the integrity of footage produced<br />
by its cameras has been endorsed at this<br />
location.”<br />
Hikvision Digital Technology Co., Ltd., the leading<br />
supplier of digital video surveillance products with the<br />
headquarters in China, has three decades of experience<br />
in research and development of video technology. From<br />

Security a high priority at new NHS<br />
Primary Care Centre, Blackpool<br />
The Whitegate Health Centre, a new NHS Primary Care<br />
Centre located in Blackpool, Lancashire, was opened to the<br />
public in September 2009.<br />
The Primary Care Centre was built as part of a wider NHS<br />
initiative to bring non emergency / surgical health services<br />
such as x-ray, physiotherapy, dental services, general<br />
practitioners, a walk-in centre, sexual health clinic, podiatry<br />
and children’s services under one roof to enable hospitals to<br />
concentrate on the provision of emergency, surgery and<br />
specialist health care.<br />
The Situation<br />
A comprehensive integrated security solution was required<br />
to protect and monitor the patients, staff and visitors who<br />
use the facility. The security installer Black Box Security,<br />
based in Preston, Lancashire, has worked with Eric Wright<br />
Construction, the primary building contractor, for over 25<br />
years and drew on a wealth of necessary experience,<br />
expertise and product knowledge to supply the right<br />
solution for this project. The security solution specified<br />
required integrated digital video recording, access control,<br />
intruder detection and CCTV (<strong>IP</strong> and analogue cameras).<br />
Working with Honeywell to supply the complete product<br />
range meant that Black Box Security benefited from a<br />
smooth and uncomplicated contracting process.<br />
“The challenge from our point of view was how to integrate<br />
the intruder system, access control, digital recording and<br />
CCTV, whilst making the installation and maintenance<br />
process as smooth as possible,” stated David Barnes at<br />
Black Box Security. “As you can imagine, health facilities are<br />
high risk sites, so every detail must be accounted for.”<br />
The Solution<br />
The challenge was to combine access control, CCTV (<strong>IP</strong> and<br />
Analogue) and intruder systems into a cohesive integrated<br />
and user-friendly system. Honeywell was selected because<br />
of the seamless interoperability of WIN-PAK®, Fusion Digital<br />
Video Recorders (DVRs) and the Galaxy Dimension intruder<br />
control panel which ultimately creates a robust and reliable<br />
end-to-end solution.<br />
For this project the Honeywell WIN-PAK access control<br />
system includes 104 smart card proximity readers and<br />
twenty seven N1000 control panels. Expandability is the<br />
most important feature of many access control systems. The<br />
N-1000 can operate as a standalone two or four door<br />
controller, and up to 31 N-1000's may be connected on an<br />
RS485 drop-line as needs increase. This includes the readers<br />
for the public lifts, thus only allowing public access to the<br />
appropriate floors.<br />
WIN-PAK with Galaxy integration provides a single user<br />
interface that integrates access control with video and<br />
intrusion to create a more robust platform with increased<br />
functionality. Functions that have traditionally been tied<br />
together through physical relays and input devices are now<br />
controlled logically. Full-scale system management of single<br />
or multiple locations is possible - resources can be moved,<br />
controlled or shared across multiple locations simply by<br />
logging on to a system.<br />
From a video perspective, WIN-PAK offers complete<br />
enhanced digital video integration to the two Fusion DVRs<br />
installed in the centre’s security control room. Integration<br />
allows video to be linked to both access control and Galaxy<br />
30_issue 26<br />
intrusion events and alarms. Video clips can easily be<br />
recalled with the software, based on time or event. With<br />
integration, users can have complete camera control,<br />
including pan, tilt and zoom, and can verify live users with<br />
stored images using the video verification option.<br />
The Honeywell EQU<strong>IP</strong> ® HCD554<strong>IP</strong>X <strong>IP</strong> cameras were installed<br />
in the health centre canteen area as a means of preventing<br />
shrinkage and monitoring movements and activity within<br />
this area of the building. This particular camera is<br />
specifically designed for object recognition which is required<br />
in locations where variable and low light conditions exist –<br />
like a canteen. Set-up is quick and easy and can be<br />
customised through a web client or from a Network Video<br />
Recorder (NVR).<br />
“The breadth of the Honeywell product range and our<br />
integrated solutions meant that Black Box could specify a<br />
complete security system from a single reliable supplier,”<br />
said Barnes. “And with the knowledge that we would assist<br />
them during the entire process to ensure that the customer<br />
was completely satisfied with the solution.”<br />
As a unit of an NHS Primary Health Care Trust, Whitegate<br />
Primary Health Care Centre is responsible for providing a<br />
safe and secure environment for patients, staff and visitors.<br />
It is accountable to the NHS, the government and the<br />
taxpayer. Therefore security is of the utmost importance.<br />
The Benefits<br />
Hospitals and Health Centres are considered to be prime<br />
targets for crime. The Honeywell solution incorporating<br />
Fusion DVRs and <strong>IP</strong> cameras provides a robust, accurate and<br />
dynamic video system to monitor, capture and record<br />
images and footage. The speed, accuracy and efficiency of<br />
the system will aid security staff in dealing with any issues<br />
which may occur, either in real time or in providing evidence<br />
for later actions.<br />
The seamless integration and interoperability provides<br />
major benefits to the customer. For example, the doors<br />
controlled by the WIN-PAK access control system are also<br />
monitored by cameras enabling the security manager to<br />
gain visual verification of all people accessing the controlled<br />
doors. The 104 door readers installed throughout the<br />
building control access to many different rooms; access to<br />
some parts of the centre is strictly controlled so only<br />
authorised personnel may enter. WIN-PAK enables security<br />
staff to know exactly who is in the building and in a<br />
particular zone at any given time, combined with integrated<br />
video surveillance staff can monitor the building in real<br />
time and thus deliver a safer and more secure<br />
environment for all.<br />
The Health Care Trust is now planning to expand the current<br />
system by increasing the number of on-site cameras and<br />
doors which are access controlled. This is simple to achieve<br />
with the WIN-PAK system and allows additional areas of the<br />
building to be opened to the public whilst maintaining the<br />
appropriate level of security throughout.<br />
“This system enables us to monitor the building inside and<br />
out so we are able to correct any issues before they turn<br />
into problems,” commented Dave Hamilton, Facilities<br />
Manager at Eric Wright Group. “The safety and security of<br />
the staff, patients and physical assets of the health centre is<br />
our priority. Black Box Security is a great partner to work<br />
with and provides support and assistance every step of the<br />
way. As the system is user-friendly and operated via a single<br />
user interface it is easy to manage both the video and<br />
intruder parts of the system. That means my team is always<br />
in control.”<br />

Robert Cotterill, Managing<br />
Director, RISCO Group UK<br />
The latest in the series of interviews with those influencing<br />
the future of security and surveillance technology. <strong><strong>IP</strong>focus</strong><br />
quizzes those in the know and gains an insight into opinions<br />
that will be shaping the industry in the future.<br />
Q. How do you see the <strong>IP</strong> networking market developing in the short and long<br />
term?<br />
A. In the short term it is still a slow education process, explaining the features<br />
and benefits of using <strong>IP</strong> is a protracted process however we seem to be<br />
winning the battle, slowly but surely. In the mid to long term <strong>IP</strong> will be the only<br />
way forward and those installers that have embraced it at an early stage are at<br />
the ‘front of the line’ to reap the rewards. Crucial to moving forward at a faster<br />
pace is the adoption of Open Platform Software like “Milestone” and Single<br />
Platform Protocols such as “ONVIF” which will allow the market to develop at a<br />
far greater speed and open up new opportunities to those manufacturers that<br />
are involved.<br />
Q. Where is RISCO GROUP placed in the market?<br />
A. I would say “well placed”, our 25 years of security experience in manufacturing<br />
and distribution has ensured that we have remained customer focused as well<br />
as being driven by the developments in technology and being privately owned<br />
has allowed us to react to the market quicker than most companies that are<br />
stock market listed. To give you an example - around 7 years ago we realised<br />
that <strong>IP</strong> was the future for not only CCTV but also Intruder, Access control, voice<br />
and BMS. The challenge would be to provide a site specific format rather than<br />
an expensive bespoke solution to the problem. We understood that having a<br />
solution to run all these individual disciplines from a single Graphical User<br />
Interface would be demanded by clients who would be motivated by the<br />
opportunity for more efficient control and the operational cost savings that<br />
could be achieved from integration, if it could be provided in a cost effective<br />
package – this is what we have tried to achieve with our SynopSYS command<br />
and control platform.<br />
Q. What new plans does RISCO GROUP have to help installers make the jump?<br />
A. We are developing a new Partner Programme for the “RISCO Solution” which,<br />
coupled with our World famous “RISCO University”, where we provide Basic &<br />
Advanced training courses for clients who want to work more closely with us,<br />
should ensure that those companies that want to ‘make the jump’ can do so<br />
safe in the knowledge that we will be there to support them and to assist in<br />
their long term development.<br />
Q. How can traditional security/CCTV/Access Control installers win contracts<br />
against IT integrators? What is the best piece of advice you could give?<br />
A. The simplest bit of advice I can give would be to get the support of a<br />
manufacturer such as RISCO that knows what they are doing when it comes to<br />
<strong>IP</strong>, and that can offer a complete solution that is backed up with all the support<br />
they could possibly require.<br />
Q. How does RISCO GROUP regard the general UK installer knowledge level?<br />
A. Continually developing, would be the best way to describe it, we find that<br />
most professional installers recognise that they need to adapt and learn<br />
new skills if they want to continue to be successful. Our two dedicated<br />
trainers are busier than ever as a result of the increasing demand.<br />
Q. Do installers respond well to training or are they slow?<br />
A. Considering the fact they have identified they have a training<br />
requirement, most respond very well. The training courses we offer are<br />
bespoke to fit the trainees own knowledge level and desired starting<br />
point, this allows for an easier transition from current skills to the ones<br />
they want for the future development of their business.<br />
Q. Is there a type of Installation Company which will never use <strong>IP</strong>?<br />
A. I’m sure there will be those that will be resistant to change, but trying to<br />
give you a specific type of Company is impossible really. I think that it is<br />
fair to say that those that are unwilling to adapt will ultimately fall by the<br />
wayside if they do not react to customer demand.<br />
Q. Are companies leaving <strong>IP</strong> to the ‘young geeks in the office’?<br />
A. I think that is the perception of a lot of people but in reality we have been<br />
pleasantly surprised by all the different age ranges and skill levels that<br />
have attended our training courses.<br />
Q. How does RISCO GROUP regard their dealings with traditional installers as<br />
opposed to IT integrators?<br />
A. The traditional security installer has been central to our ‘core market’<br />
over the years and we know how they think and operate, allowing us to<br />
help them more closely and to offer the right level of support. We have<br />
found that IT integrators tend to need less technical support, but will<br />
require some security knowledge to complete a project – for example:<br />
they may sub-contract the skills of a locksmith to complete the access<br />
control part of a system.<br />
Q. Why are IT integrators said to be winning out over traditional installers?<br />
A. From our experience it’s because they can offer other additional services<br />
in addition to “just” security, which means that the customer/end user<br />
only has a single company to deal with when it comes to all of their<br />
Networking issues.<br />
Q. Do <strong>IP</strong> installers need a particular mindset?<br />
A. I don’t think so; they just need to be adaptable and willing to learn new<br />
skills or be ready to accept that they might need to sub contract some<br />
parts of the contract where necessary.<br />

<strong><strong>IP</strong>focus</strong><br />
Q. Does RISCO GROUP support the idea of independent consultants<br />
representing installers?<br />
A. Consultants can be essential when large projects are being designed, but<br />
they are not always required for the majority of smaller projects.<br />
Q. Are <strong>IP</strong>-trained installers now demanding higher rates for their wider<br />
security/<strong>IP</strong> skills?<br />
A. We know that the acquisition of new <strong>IP</strong> skills will allow installers to charge<br />
more for what they offer, whether they do or not is another thing,<br />
particularly in the light of recent market events.<br />
Q. Where does the UK and Europe sit with <strong>IP</strong> in regards to the rest of the<br />
world?<br />
A. Both the UK and Europe are embracing <strong>IP</strong> but at varying rates, for example:<br />
90% of access control system installations in Sweden are <strong>IP</strong> but I doubt that<br />
it is currently more than 25 - 30% in the UK. One of the factors affecting UK<br />
take up rates is legacy product as it is often perceived to be easier to<br />
provide system expansion and “add-ons” using traditional Beldon cable<br />
unless the system manufacturer can provide a hybrid option with <strong>IP</strong> on<br />
board. Outside of Europe, the USA has similar issues to the UK but in<br />
developing markets where these legacy systems do not exist it is far easier<br />
to leapfrog hard wired systems and go directly to <strong>IP</strong>, for example: in Brazil,<br />
China and India. However, the UK is at the cutting edge when it comes to<br />
implementing new security technology and we have found that an ever<br />
increasing percentage of new build projects are specifying <strong>IP</strong> as the<br />
standard requirement.<br />
Q. How do UK installers and consultants compare to those in other countries<br />
(a) in their general skills level and (b) in their attitude to <strong>IP</strong>?<br />
A. In the UK we have been fortunate to work with installation companies &<br />
consultants that are willing to learn about our technology and then factually<br />
inform their clients of which solutions are best suited to their specific<br />
requirements. It is difficult for me to comment for the rest of the World on<br />
this subject.<br />
Q. Is the UK CCTV and Access Control market too mature for wholesale <strong>IP</strong><br />
penetration?<br />
A. As I mentioned before there is a huge amount of “Legacy Product” in the<br />
market place in the UK which does limit <strong>IP</strong> penetration, however there are<br />
products on the market that allow existing cabling infrastructure to actually<br />
become the equivalent of network cabling and more manufacturers are<br />
providing hybrid solutions with <strong>IP</strong> on board, as costs slowly decrease and<br />
systems come to the end of their life cycle it will allow existing systems to<br />
be upgraded or replaced by <strong>IP</strong> based solutions.<br />
Q. What other countries are big potential areas for <strong>IP</strong>?<br />
A. As previously stated, the USA is a huge potential market but South America,<br />
China and India are where we see immediate growth opportunities for our <strong>IP</strong><br />
based solutions.<br />
Q. Will <strong>IP</strong> penetration be mainly via hybrid, add-on systems in the UK? Is this<br />
the ideal way to start and will the rest of the world follow?<br />
A. For existing system upgrades in the UK it will predominately be hybrid,<br />
however new build projects will be solely <strong>IP</strong>. It’s not necessarily the best way<br />
to start it’s just the way it has to be for the UK market, with regards to the<br />
rest of the World and in markets that are not as saturated have greater<br />
flexibility to go <strong>IP</strong> from the outset.<br />
Q. How long will it be before <strong>IP</strong> penetrates the access control and intruder<br />
alarm sectors in the same way as it has with CCTV?<br />
A. More and more Access Control systems are being specified as <strong>IP</strong> and<br />
Intruder will follow, our ProSYS intruder panel already has <strong>IP</strong> capabilities and<br />
with RISCO Bus Technology it allows installers to use the same cabling<br />
principles as they would with a networked solution.<br />
Q. Do you see the IT industry taking a closer look at Security and Safety as the<br />
next killer application?<br />
A. I think it has already begun, many of the IT integrators we already deal with<br />
have indentified security allied to safety as a new and lucrative sector.<br />
Q. Will Hosted Services, Virtualisation, SaaS (software as a service) and Cloud<br />
computing technologies impact on the deployment of Security and Safety<br />
solutions?<br />
A. They will become more popular as more people understand the technology<br />
and the benefits, RISCO’s New Access Control system, that we are launching<br />
this year, can be “Hosted” remotely for clients, allowing integrators to sell<br />
the benefits of reduced cost of ownership while gaining access to additional<br />
and reoccurring revenue streams.<br />
Q. How do you see the role of the <strong>IP</strong> <strong>UserGroup</strong> and <strong><strong>IP</strong>focus</strong> developing in the<br />
coming Months and Years?<br />
A. The <strong>IP</strong> <strong>UserGroup</strong> and <strong><strong>IP</strong>focus</strong> were at the vanguard by proposing <strong>IP</strong> based<br />
solutions to the security market, and I would expect to them to continue to<br />
do so by helping and supporting manufactures like RISCO to provide<br />
information and education to those that want it. The acceptance of <strong>IP</strong> as<br />
part of the complete solution is growing at an ever increasing rate and the<br />
Security Industry will surely look to the <strong>IP</strong> <strong>UserGroup</strong> and <strong><strong>IP</strong>focus</strong> to point<br />
the way forwards.<br />

INTERVIEW WITH OTTAVIO CAMPANA, R&D<br />
ALBERT Group:<br />
Q: In March, Videotec joined PSIA.<br />
Can you tell us more about it?<br />
A: PSIA is a pool of companies who decided to<br />
work out a common interface for<br />
communication between security systems.<br />
The aim of this undertaking was to provide<br />
more and easier interaction between the<br />
systems of different manufacturers.<br />
Q: What’s the pro of having the different<br />
systems speaking a common language?<br />
A: If the systems speak a common language,<br />
new products development and integration<br />
will be smoother and at the same time final<br />
users will be able to access a broader range<br />
of compatible products which will guarantee<br />
their video-security system a longer life.<br />
Q: So what did Videotec actually do as a new<br />
member?<br />
A: We participated in a large number of<br />
conference calls on the efficiency of<br />
communication and we tried as much as<br />
possible to take part in the workgroups<br />
because that is the only way to gain a<br />
thorough knowledge of the protocol.<br />
Q: And are we ready to integrate this new<br />
protocol?<br />
A: We are actively working on it.<br />
The aim of ALBERT Group is to become part of<br />
PSIA and to be integrated into third party’s<br />
software such as Milestone or Synectics with<br />
which I am already in touch for arranging the<br />
tests. In future the same Albert coding is<br />
likely to be used also for controlling Videotec<br />
Pan & Tilt.<br />
Intelligent Video - It’s all about Albert!<br />
There is a new concept in intelligent video<br />
systems and it is called Armonia. Where there<br />
are a lot of control units working together,<br />
these should know how to cooperate in<br />
harmony (Armonia) with each other, just like<br />
musicians in an orchestra. When harmony is<br />
absolute, there is no need for an orchestra<br />
director.<br />
Albert is synonymous with intelligent videosurveillance.<br />
A sophisticated digital technology<br />
based on the cooperation between units, on an<br />
advanced detection and movement analysis<br />
system on the immediacy and ease of<br />
configuration and use on the extremely intuitive<br />
drag’n’drop interface.<br />
You Can Sleep Peacefully<br />
Albert is easy to assemble and install; Albert is<br />
an example of Videotec reliability and quality,<br />
guaranteed service and assistance.<br />
Albert is the intelligent video system that will<br />
watch over your safety. Ideal for large<br />
structures, perimeters, parking lots and external<br />
areas.<br />
Harmonic Cooperation<br />
Each unit tells the other units what it is doing:<br />
so that, Each units knows what is happening in<br />
the monitored area and configures its PTZ<br />
parameters accordingly, like different<br />
independent brains, in harmony.<br />
Easy Configuration & Analysis of Abnormal<br />
Events<br />
With Albert there is no need to explicitly define<br />
the coordinated actions, Because these<br />
automatically emerge from a very simple set up.<br />
Albert has an advanced system used to detect<br />
events: in fact, the system recognizes the<br />
natural movement of trees, rain, the natural<br />
change of light and shadows.<br />
Intuitive<br />
A state of the art system that is revolutionizing<br />
the market and is determining a new starting<br />
point in video surveillance. Besides being<br />
efficient and resilient against intruders, Albert is<br />
intuitive and easy to use. Its special interactive<br />
abilities and the drag’n’drop interface meet the<br />
needs of all users.<br />
Key Features:<br />
• Advanced algorithms for intelligent video<br />
surveillance<br />

Mega trends<br />
Look to the Future - Engage<br />
with the Pink Fluffy Cloud<br />
Over the past 3 years the <strong><strong>IP</strong>focus</strong> and <strong>IP</strong> <strong>UserGroup</strong> team have been taking a<br />
very close look at where there is direct convergence between what the Security<br />
and Safety Sector and the IT and <strong>IP</strong> infrastructure players are involved in.<br />
Editor Paul Hennings comments.<br />
As a great advocate of Hosted business<br />
services such as CRM (customer relationship<br />
management), Web building solutions, serverside<br />
storage and email marketing as a service.<br />
I am only too aware of the possibilities<br />
available to the Security and Safety business<br />
should some of these fundamentals be<br />
employed.<br />
The terms Cloud computing, Virtualisation and<br />
Saas (Software as a Service) are no longer<br />
exclusive to the IT and Network Infrastructure<br />
arena, but increasingly crossing the divide<br />
into ALL areas of business life.<br />
Recently Alastair Hayfield, Research Manager<br />
at IMS Research commented “In the year<br />
ahead there are a host of new trends that will<br />
keep the industry talking and drive market<br />
resurgence.” And in bringing together the top<br />
ten trends, placed the following at the top of<br />
the list:<br />
“2010 will see Video Surveillance as a Service<br />
(VSaaS) emerge from the shadows and take<br />
the limelight. 2010 will see a raft of companies<br />
announce VSaaS solutions.”<br />
In truth Saas and Virtualisation in one form or<br />
another has been part of the Security,<br />
Surviellance and Safety world for several<br />
years, but now the IT boys are seeing it as a<br />
major opportunity and using Security and<br />
Safety to leverage investment in the network<br />
infrastructure.<br />
That Pink Fluffy Cloud!<br />
For far too long we have been satisfied to<br />
treat anything the other side of the ADSL hub<br />
or router as a pink fluffy cloud, but are we<br />
missing a trick? The IT industry certainly<br />
believe that there is mileage in providing<br />
products within the cloud and are already<br />
providing many business services to both<br />
enterprise and SME customers.<br />
Engage or Die!<br />
IT and the network infrastructure are key<br />
elements in any 21st Century Security or<br />
Safety solution. An underlying knowledge of<br />
Information Technology and the way that the<br />
network operates is essential and without this<br />
the effectiveness or efficiency of any<br />
deployment could be severely effected.<br />
There is a need to engage with an industry<br />
that have both the knowledge and influence<br />
to drive <strong>IP</strong> based solutions forward, and a<br />
greater understanding of the needs of both<br />
parties essential.<br />
Forward thinking<br />
There are already several companies from<br />
within our own ranks that have identified the<br />
need to engage and exploit this opportunity,<br />
not least of all ourselves. To prove this, take a<br />
look at the following abstracts from two<br />
presentations from the <strong>IP</strong>-in-Action LIVE Event<br />
in Los Angeles.<br />
"Physical Security Takes the Onramp to the<br />
Information Super Highway"<br />
What technologies are revving up 2010? There<br />
is an undisputed trend for physical security<br />
data to migrate onto the corporate <strong>IP</strong> network<br />
not only for network economies of scale but<br />
also for integration capabilities.<br />
Intra-security integration includes security<br />
and safety systems such as access control,<br />
perimeter monitoring, and fire/safety systems<br />
sharing the network with systems such as<br />
accounting systems, marketing systems, and<br />
analysis systems that use video data as "just<br />
one more input" to their factoring processes.<br />
In addition to the integration of these<br />
systems, the emergence of "cloud<br />
computing," based upon today's robust<br />
networks, introduces a new world for physical<br />
security providers, that of Security As A<br />
Service (SaaS).<br />
This new business model opens opportunities<br />
to escalate Recurring Monthly Revenue (RMR)<br />
and to increase the "stick-in-ness" with<br />
clients to build long-term relationships and<br />
loyalty...but only if you know the technologies<br />
and can apply them.<br />

The 5 C's of Security as a Service: "Why End-<br />
Users are Looking to the Cloud"<br />
Cloud computing, while having gained<br />
substantial penetration in a number of<br />
industries for many different applications, is<br />
still somewhat new to the security industry.<br />
Lately, end users are increasingly looking to<br />
cloud-based solutions for their security needs,<br />
and Security as a Service can be delivered to<br />
meet their requirements and expectations.<br />
This session discussed cloud computing for<br />
security, how integrators can get in on the<br />
action, and which end users are demanding it<br />
now and why.<br />
The presentation clearly demonstrated that<br />
Security as a Service offers real long-term<br />
benefits and value for end users and<br />
integrators alike. John Szczygiel helps you to<br />
learn the scope of Security as a Service, the<br />
Mega-trends driving SaaS adoption and why<br />
SaaS is emerging as the dominant computing<br />
model.<br />
John Szczygiel - Executive Vice President and<br />
Business Development, Brivo Systems<br />
Clearly this is a development that we should<br />
ALL take very seriously, both from a<br />
technological and commercial view point.<br />
Over the coming editions we will continue to<br />
look at areas of synergy between these<br />
criutial business requirements and investigate<br />
how the two industries can work together<br />

<strong><strong>IP</strong>focus</strong><br />
Definitions<br />
Software as a service<br />
(SaaS, typically pronounced 'sass') is a model<br />
of software deployment whereby a provider<br />
licenses an application to customers for use<br />
as a service on demand.<br />
SaaS software vendors may host the<br />
application on their own web servers or<br />
upload the application to the consumer<br />
device, disabling it after use or after the ondemand<br />
contract expires. The on-demand<br />
function may be handled internally to share<br />
licenses within a firm or by a third-party<br />
application service provider (ASP) sharing<br />
licenses between firms<br />
Virtualisation<br />
Storage virtualisation refers to the process of<br />
separating (through abstraction) logical<br />
storage from physical storage.<br />
The term is today used to describe this<br />
separation at any layer in the storage<br />
software and hardware stack. Virtualisation of<br />
storage helps achieve location independence<br />
by abstracting the physical location of the<br />
data. The virtualisation system presents to<br />
the user a logical space for data storage and<br />
itself handles the process of mapping it to the<br />
actual physical location.<br />
Cloud Computing<br />
The term cloud is used as a metaphor for the<br />
Internet, based on the cloud drawing used to<br />
depict the Internet in computer network<br />
diagrams as an abstraction of the underlying<br />
infrastructure it represents Typical cloud<br />
computing providers deliver common<br />
business applications online which are<br />
accessed from a web browser, while the<br />
software and data are stored on servers.<br />
Central Management System manages<br />
large-scale video and alarm systems<br />
This seamless management of digital video, audio<br />
and data is a powerful solution for large-scale<br />
installations<br />
NUUO, an intelligent surveillance software supplier,<br />
recently announced its Central Management<br />
System (CMS) V1.3. This is surveillance software<br />
that controls multi-site video recording servers as<br />
well as manages alarms and all possible incidents.<br />
With unlimited layers of intuitive E-maps and a<br />
flexible matrix control, CMS V1.3 can be applied to<br />
large-scale and multiple-site surveillance projects,<br />
such as airports, buildings, retail shops, hospitals<br />
and cities.<br />
NUUO CMS has new functions in its E-maps that<br />
shows camera coverage and provides instant status<br />
notification to the entire system. Security operators<br />
can know each device’s current status easily and<br />
clearly from the E-map. Moreover, security<br />
operators can deal with events efficiently by right<br />
clicking each device on the E-map. Once an alarm is<br />
triggered, security operators can react instantly,<br />
activating live video or playback video to track all<br />
events both prior to the alarm and live ongoing<br />
events.<br />
• Advanced alarm management capability<br />
• Supports auto startup and login NCS system<br />
• Supports audio from cameras<br />
• Supports point-of sales (POS)<br />
The system also supports 9 languages, including<br />
Bulgarian, Chinese (Simplified/ Traditional), Danish,<br />
English, Finnish, Italian, Portuguese (Brazil), and<br />
Spanish. CMS can manage all NUUO product lines<br />
including NDVR Hybrid, NVR, DVR and NVRmini. The<br />
NUUO NCS supports unlimited cameras, I/O devices,<br />
POS, servers and users. The<br />
controls and operation of<br />
NUUO CMS are clear-cut and<br />
map centric. It has the most<br />
powerful alarm<br />
management system among<br />
all NUUO product lines and<br />
can control unlimited matrix<br />
viewing consoles in the<br />
centralized control room.<br />
These applications are broadly divided into<br />
the following categories that emphasize the<br />
notion of "Everything-as-a-Service": Software<br />
as a Service (SaaS), Utility Computing, Web<br />
Services, Platform as a Service (PaaS),<br />
Managed Service Providers (MSP), Service<br />
Commerce, and Internet Integration.<br />
Source: Wikipedia<br />
In addition to the intuitive E-map, NUUO CMS V1.3<br />
supports an unlimited matrix, an intelligent and<br />
centralized video wall. Security operators can<br />
manage many events with up to 9 types of layout.<br />
They can set up rules to handle events and get live<br />
video feed of source devices and related devices<br />
instantly. NUUO CMS V1.3 also supports transcode<br />
for users to select different quality (frame rate and<br />
resolution) of video streams to reduce bandwidth<br />
wastage.<br />
Instant response and flexible operations with 3rd<br />
party integration are further enhanced in NUUO<br />
CMS Client V1.3.<br />

Technology migration requires you to be an integral<br />
player in a company’s risk assessment process. “Assist<br />
clients with planning for moving into the next level of<br />
technology,” said Giles. “By linking security systems to<br />
risk reduction you have an alternate way of<br />
demonstrating the value of the expenditure to the<br />
business.”<br />
According to Giles, most companies that do not<br />

St. Cloud, Florida, Secures Town’s Water Supply,<br />

Town’s migration to <strong>IP</strong> video<br />
increased ROI while using less<br />
hardware than proposed<br />

St. Cloud’s most recent video<br />
surveillance project for the<br />
water and wastewater treatment plants was originally<br />
designed for analog cameras. However, after<br />
completing an ROI project analysis with security<br />
integrator SiteSecure, Inc., it was determined that St.<br />
Cloud could obtain superior monitoring capabilities<br />
and better fault-tolerance by implementing a fiberoptics<br />
<strong>IP</strong>-based system in a redundant ring<br />
configuration.<br />
Future on-camera analytics capabilities with thirdparty<br />
developers also allowed for a significant<br />
reduction in the number of cameras required to cover<br />
these facilities.<br />

H.264 makes Megapixel fulfill<br />
practical application<br />
Requirement for high bandwidth has been a critical<br />
issue in Megapixel cameras.Etrovision’s new release<br />
of H.264 Megapixel cameras aims at solving the<br />
drawbacks of the existing MPEG-4 Megapixel<br />
cameras. The technology not only dramatically<br />
drops the total cost of ownership but enhances the<br />
practicability.<br />
In average, a H.264 with Megapixel camera has 50%<br />
reduction of bandwidth than MPEG-4 with Megapixel<br />
one. In this condition, users can save lots of<br />
bandwidth, which is money actually. With the newly<br />
release H.264 Megapixel camera, sharp image<br />
quality is presented consuming less then 2Mb<br />
bandwidth. Besides the bandwidth, its cost-effective<br />
characteristic has extension. For higher resolution,<br />
a single megapixel camera can have the coverage<br />
area of multiple traditional cameras. For instance, a<br />
1.3 Megapixel camera is equal to four VGA cameras<br />
with significant reduction of installation cost.<br />
Etrovision provides whole series product lines of<br />
box and dome type Megapixel cameras with<br />
satisfactory price for various applications.<br />
Furthermore, the model supports dual streams,<br />
two-way audio, PoE, mobile security, wireless, and<br />
intelligent functions.<br />
Specification in brief:<br />
* 1/3" Progressive Scan CMOS sensor<br />
* CS Lens Mount Changeable<br />
* 1.3 Megapixel resolution (1280 x1024 pixels) with up<br />
to 15fps<br />
* Day/Night mode providing high performance<br />
image at 0.01 lux, AES, AGC, AWB with automatic IR<br />
Cut Filter Switching<br />
* H.264, MPEG-4, M-JPEG Dual Streams<br />
Simultaneously<br />
* Wi-Fi Dongle / Power over Ethernet Supported<br />
* Pre/Post Alarm to 32 GB SD Card Recording<br />
*Bi-directional RS485 Serial and Digital In / Out<br />
Supported<br />
Employs H.264 compression format and 1.3<br />
Megapixel technology, this full-featured box type<br />
camera delivers crisp and sharp images at low<br />
bandwidth without missing any detail. Hence, the<br />
camera is specifically perfect for moving objects<br />
surveillance.<br />
H.264 and 1.3 Megapixel Technology<br />
In average, a H.264 with Megapixel camera has 50%<br />
reduction of bandwidth than MPEG-4 with Megapixel<br />
one. In this condition, users can save lots of<br />
bandwidth, which is money actually. With this H.264 1.3<br />
Megapixel camera, sharp image quality is presented<br />
consuming less then 2Mb bandwidth. Requirement for<br />
high bandwidth is not a critical issue in Megapixel<br />
cameras anymore.<br />
Day and Night, Changeable Lens, and IR Cut Filter<br />
Day and Night function with changeable lens and<br />
automatic IR cut filter, AES/AGC/AWB, guaranteeing<br />
high performance image at 0.01 Lux. Furthermore,<br />
users can use outdoor disclosure and IR trigger with<br />
the camera to fulfill different applications.<br />
USB-like Wi-Fi Dongle<br />
This dongle helps extend the application field of Wi-Fi<br />
technology. In the future, this dongle can help support<br />
WIMAX, HSDPA, and HSUPA via firmware upgrade. Since<br />
the dongle becomes a standard item in specification<br />
from Etrovision’s megapixel product line, users can not<br />
only get rid of the dilemma of choosing from the<br />
options but dramatically drops the custom fee.<br />
