x RISKXtra BSIA Briefing their property. For its part, the security industry is now starting to talk about the use of Artificial Intelligence as the solution for improving security and reducing false alarms. As this technology develops, there could be significant improvements in terms of operatives only needing to respond to genuine alarm activations, making these systems even more of a deterrent and helping to reduce crime.” What about larger venues? How do the management teams for larger venues and open spaces deter crime? James Walker, managing director of Dallmeier UK, has mentioned the use of a sophisticated surveillance system for larger venues and stadiums to ensure the safety of fans at all times. Unchecked crowds or brawls between spectators seem to be the most feared scenarios for on-duty security personnel. “With today’s multifocal sensor systems, a huge area can be monitored from a single location extremely efficiently,” observed Walker. “The most impressive aspect of these systems is that they combine the overall view with simultaneous top detail resolution. Even more distant objects are displayed with the same resolution as objects in the foreground of the picture.” Walker went on to add: “Further, these systems solve the well-known problem with PTZ cameras whereby the operator has to choose between an overview image and a detailed view. It doesn’t matter which section of a surveillance area an operator focuses on at any time as the system always records the entire scene. Therefore, it’s possible to reconstruct any event for later use as evidence in court, regardless of where that occurrence took place, and to recognise all individuals involved thanks to frame-by-frame playback.” Gideon Reichental (commercial sales manager at Clearway Services, the specialist in site security, and current chairman of the Vacant Property Section of the BSIA) explained: “Open spaces such as construction sites, car parks, sports grounds or leisure areas are a real temptation for criminal or anti-social behaviour. Statistics show that at least one-in-five building sites are hit as frequently as once every week, and possibly even more than that as minor incidents are often not reported.” However, Reichental is swift to point out that it isn’t difficult to secure such locations. “Where appropriate, proper secure fencing is a ‘must’. Temporary concrete blocks can be installed at site access points if it’s a vacant property. This will prevent unauthorised ingress and theft or fly-tipping, which is now a major menace. A wireless alarm system can be fitted to the fencing and advanced temporary CCTV camera towers located at key points.” Running off mains or solar power and engineered to remain outside in all conditions, CCTV camera towers communicate via the mobile network. These installations are the end user’s remote eyes, surveying an entire site thanks to movement-activated HD cameras. When triggered, they issue voice warnings to trespassers so they know they’ve been spotted if they’ve managed to break in or are simply causing mischief. They’re a great deterrent. Activation and live video can be beamed back to an Alarm Receiving Centre whose trained operators will, in turn, raise an alarm, send a security guarding patrol and/or contact the police to apprehend the intruders if the audio warnings should be ignored. In the real world A final scenario relating to this subject involves a real-life Case Study. One of the fastestgrowing districts in the upper Midwest of the United States, Harrisburg in South Dakota is home to an educational system that serves almost 4,000 students across eight schools. Gallagher Security was selected to meet the district’s security requirements and, in October 2015, those security measures were put to the test when the local High School became the target of a shooting incident. Although one staff member was injured in the episode, it was prevented from escalating further due to Gallagher’s lockdown procedure being activated by members of staff. From the time the emergency button was pressed, it took just four seconds for Command Centre to lock all outside doors, notify the district authorities and limit building access to emergency responders only. “Command Centre was directly involved with placing physical barriers between an active gunman and hundreds of High School students,” explained James Straatmeyer, CEO of Integrated Technology & Security. “The security industry is now starting to talk about the use of AI as the solution for improving security and reducing false alarms. As this technology develops, there could be significant improvements in terms of operatives only needing to respond to genuine alarm activations” 16
