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 />

Recycle, Reuse, Reinvent<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 />

environment.<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 />

the Port of London and more.<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 />

SynopSYS Security & Building<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 />

Management software platform was chosen as a<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 />

moves into a new and exciting era.<br />

Bringing <strong>IP</strong> Technology to life, I<strong>IP</strong>SEC has<br />

welcomed approaching 10,000 visitors,<br />

delegates and exhibitors over the past three<br />

years to what has become a recognised<br />

calendar event in the UK, Europe and beyond.<br />

Now in its eighth year, the show which is<br />

presented by the team behind the <strong>IP</strong><br />

<strong>UserGroup</strong> security technology forum, <strong>IP</strong>-in-<br />

Action LIVE road shows and the <strong>IP</strong> focus<br />

magazine and eZine, again promises to bring<br />

together all that is <strong>IP</strong> from within the security,<br />

safety and associated BMS sectors.<br />

We are pleased to invite exhibitors, delegates,<br />

speakers and visitors to join us at our new<br />

venue Earls Court 2 LONDON 20th - 21st<br />

October 2010 co-located with the <strong>IP</strong> Expo.<br />

Safety and Security has never been so high on<br />

the global agenda and now is an excellent time<br />

to present to a quality international audience<br />

of security and IT professionals where network<br />

based solutions can provide practical and<br />

affordable solutions to these ongoing<br />

challenges. I<strong>IP</strong>SEC has been instrumental in the<br />

success of many companies entering the<br />

Network Centric Security & Safety Sector and<br />

we hope that you will give us the opportunity<br />

to perform for your business.<br />

Spending Quality Time with<br />

Quality People<br />

I<strong>IP</strong>SEC is a focused event created specifically to<br />

bring together manufacturers, vendors,<br />

developers and service providers with their<br />

potential clients in an environment that is<br />

conducive to doing real business with genuine<br />

customers who have money to spend and where<br />

networking at the very highest level is assured.<br />

As a focused, niche event I<strong>IP</strong>SEC is the only show<br />

where an exhibitor can spend quality time with a<br />

prospect, qualify their needs and build a strong<br />

working relationship, all at one event. Enhanced<br />

by the close proximity of the <strong>IP</strong> Expo, the<br />

opportunities for visitors and exhibitors abound.<br />

For exhibitors, the quality of the visitors and<br />

delegates are first class and the event has<br />

consistently delivered re-sellers, installers,<br />

integrators, consultants and high level endusers<br />

network based security and safety solutions.<br />

Bridging the gap between Security and Life Safety<br />

applications, IT, the Network and the Pink Fluffy Cloud<br />

Exciting News as I<strong>IP</strong>SEC – Europe’s Premier <strong>IP</strong><br />

based Security Technology event co-locates<br />

with <strong>IP</strong> Expo and relocates to Earls Court<br />

LONDON in October.<br />

A unique opportunity for Security and Safety<br />

practitioners and IT and network Professionals to<br />

understand the commercial and practical<br />

possibilities available when working together<br />

and identify the true needs, skills and offerings<br />

from both industries.<br />

We are all acutely aware of the continued<br />

convergence between the physical security, life<br />

safety and IT worlds with the <strong>IP</strong> <strong>UserGroup</strong> and<br />

I<strong>IP</strong>SEC team at the cutting edge. We also<br />

understand that for Networked Security and<br />

Safety Applications to grow and thrive it is<br />

essential that the industry learn to engage with<br />

the IT industry as a whole and the <strong>IP</strong><br />

infrastructure players in particular and it was<br />

this premise that prompted the relationship with<br />

<strong>IP</strong> EXPO which will provide such a platform.<br />

We believe that this is a significant move forward<br />

helping to increase the awareness and<br />

acceptance of new <strong>IP</strong> based applications across<br />

many market areas and are sure that you will<br />

agree, this is an extremely exciting development.<br />

I<strong>IP</strong>SEC which will remain a stand alone event colocated<br />

with <strong>IP</strong> Expo gains from the synergies<br />

between the various technologies on display and<br />

provides a firm basis upon which Security and<br />

Safety Professionals and IT and Network<br />

Technologies can discover the opportunities that<br />

lie within mutually accessible market areas.<br />

I<strong>IP</strong>SEC has always concentrated on the<br />

application of technology within the Security,<br />

Life Safety and BMS environments, whereas <strong>IP</strong><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 />

A/V Compression Boards, Embedded Net DVRs and Multipurpose<br />

Digital Video Servers, to networked front-end<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 />

On-the-Record;<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 />

• Cooperation between single units on a<br />

system - Intelligent and autonomous video<br />

analysis and abnormal event selection -<br />

Assisted Navigation<br />

• Optional hard disk with on board engine, to<br />

<strong><strong>IP</strong>focus</strong><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 />

Charles Foley - Chairman and CEO, TimeSight<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 />

designed for analog cameras. However, after<br />

completing an ROI project analysis with security<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 />
