RAYTEC IR Leaves Criminals<br />
Frozen out in FINLAND<br />
Raytec’s RAYMAX Infra-<br />
Red LED lighting has<br />
been chosen to secure<br />
various waste<br />
recycling points across<br />
Finland and is<br />
currently delivering<br />
excellent CCTV images<br />
in extreme weather<br />
conditions such as<br />
snow, ice, and freezing<br />
winds. The new IR<br />
lighting is successfully tackling fly-tipping for leading<br />
Finnish waste management company, Ita-Uundenmaan<br />
Jatehuolto who control the sites. As part of a<br />
remotely monitored CCTV solution, the IR lighting<br />
works in conjunction with the onsite network cameras<br />
to capture clear images of both vehicles and offenders<br />
who dump waste illegally. As a result, the culprits are<br />
identified and billed, allowing the end user to recover<br />
transportation costs for re-delivering the illegal waste<br />
to the correct site.<br />
Tuija Klaus, Service Manager at Itä-Uudenmaan<br />
Jätehuolto adds, “The high quality IR lighting<br />
minimises noise in the picture which significantly<br />
reduces bandwidth and storage requirements of the<br />
network system”. RAYMAX lights are robust and<br />
reliable, making them the perfect choice for the<br />
challenging Finnish weather conditions, providing long<br />
life and zero maintenance. <strong>IP</strong><br />

Communications, European Systems Integration (ESI)<br />
and SureView Systems.<br />
“Now it’s simple to add ADPRO transmission to your<br />
existing video recording system for cost effective<br />
security management from a central monitoring<br />
station,” says Colin Rogers, global solutions<br />
marketing manager for Xtralis. “The ADPRO V3100<br />
Hybrid Tx provides the earliest possible warning of a<br />
security threat so impacts can be minimised and<br />
guard services deployed efficiently.” <strong>IP</strong><br />

Codestuff step up a gear...<br />
West Lothian-based<br />
Codestuff is driving<br />
development of video<br />
systems technology<br />
for the CCTV industry.<br />
The company was<br />
established in 2004,<br />
with just three<br />
engineers, but now<br />
works with some of<br />
the world’s biggest electronics brands including<br />
Bosch, JVC and Sanyo.<br />
TalentScotland spoke to Managing Director David<br />
Ritchie about how the company got started and<br />
how he sees the market progressing.<br />
How did Codestuff get started?<br />
Codestuff started out providing integrated solutions<br />
for video surveillance companies and plugging a<br />
gap in the CCTV market. Our software let security<br />
companies merge several video content streams<br />
into a single user interface. Things have developed<br />
since then, in terms of our size, our product<br />
Pim Van Oerle<br />
a new face at<br />
Codestuff<br />
Pim Van Oerle came to<br />
Scotland in 2008 and<br />
liked it so much that<br />
he decided to stay.<br />
He currently works as<br />
a Senior Software Engineer for Codestuff; a West<br />
Lothian-based company delivering tailored video<br />
management solutions for the security industry.<br />
What is your background?<br />
I got my MSc in Artificial Intelligence from the<br />
University of Groningen in 2006 and I worked for<br />
Sound Intelligence (SI) in the Netherlands until I<br />
moved to Scotland with my partner in 2008. At SI I<br />
worked on developing and patenting technology<br />
that could detect distinct sound patterns, similar to<br />
human hearing, in video systems. Sigard TM is<br />
currently being used in prisons, inner cities and<br />
service counters.<br />
Codestuff was the natural next step up from what I<br />
was doing at SI. At Codestuff I get to use my skills<br />
in a pioneering company that is making waves in <strong>IP</strong><br />
video surveillance systems. I am involved in<br />
growing markets like remote viewing and<br />
networked video technology and I get the<br />
opportunity work with some of the world’s biggest<br />
software and technology firms.<br />
6_issue 29<br />
catalogue, which now includes our own Quorum<br />
hardware, proprietary software and our commercial<br />
partners. There are now 18 members of staff at<br />
Codestuff and on 7 January this year we celebrated<br />
our 7th birthday.<br />
What projects are you currently working on?<br />
In 2005 we had our first profitable year and, since<br />
then, the transition to a self-sustaining company<br />
has been a steady one.<br />
In digital systems, interoperability and compliance<br />
between manufacturers is often not possible. Our<br />
products can be used together, or individually, to<br />
meet the demands of the security industry by<br />
letting a range of technologies, often from different<br />
manufacturers, work through a manageable<br />
interface.<br />
In March 2010 we launched the world’s first<br />
purpose-built touch screen-based CCTV monitoring,<br />
recording and management system – Quorum<br />
Touch. It caters for up to 16 camera installations<br />
and combines a multi-part CCTV system into a<br />
single, self-contained desktop device.<br />
What attracted you to Codestuff?<br />
There are only 18 of us in the whole company,<br />
including me, so I get to experiment on new<br />
projects and do a lot of different things. Right now,<br />
for example, I’m working on <strong>IP</strong> CCTV products for<br />
multiple customers, integrating new cameras,<br />
adding new features and enhancing user<br />
experience and usability in our video systems<br />
technology. Any spare time I do have is filled with<br />
improving and adding to our core technology.<br />
What makes a good Software Engineer?<br />
A good software engineer has a good eye for detail<br />
without losing sight of the big picture. There’s not<br />
much sense in spending forever on the details if<br />
they don’t fit in with the overall product or<br />
strategy. Keeping on top of ongoing development<br />
work is also important. The technological landscape<br />
tends to shift pretty fast, so a good software<br />
engineer can’t afford to stand still. He or she must<br />
keep getting involved with new technologies.<br />
What does the future hold for you?<br />
My partner and I both enjoy living in Scotland,<br />
especially in Edinburgh. We are even planning on<br />
getting married here in 2012. Within a couple of<br />
hours we can be in the countryside, within four<br />
hours we can be on the west coast. Coming from<br />
the Netherlands, where everything is a lot flatter,<br />
it’s great to be able to see these huge mountains.<br />
Working at Codestuff makes me feel lucky to have<br />
found a job I thoroughly enjoy. The people are great<br />
and there are constant challenges to keep me<br />
interested and allow me to develop my skills.<br />
What does the future hold for Codestuff?<br />
Quorum Touch allows secure video streaming<br />
across the internet and this is something that we’ll<br />
be expanding on in the future, as cloud computing<br />
gets ever more important. With bandwidths<br />
increasing there will be more call for self-contained<br />
systems to allow content to be managed securely<br />
online. <strong>IP</strong>-based technology is the way forward for<br />
the security and surveillance industry. Digitallynetworked<br />
video products are leading the way<br />
along with Access Control and Alarm Systems.<br />
What are the benefits of being based in Scotland?<br />
The fact that we are based here has resulted in a<br />
number of benefits. Since the company was set up<br />
we have had tremendous support from Scottish<br />
Enterprise, not just financial. I’ve been sent on a<br />
number of training courses that have been a great<br />
help and whenever I talk to our industry peers in<br />
Canada or Ireland they are always astounded by the<br />
level of support available to us here.<br />

New Hemispheric T24 <strong>IP</strong> Video<br />
Door Station From MOBOTIX<br />
The new hemispheric T24 <strong>IP</strong> Video Door Station<br />
captures the entire entrance area without blind<br />
spots from wall-to-wall and floor-to-ceiling. The<br />
T24 is based on the international Vo<strong>IP</strong>-S<strong>IP</strong><br />
telephony standard with H.264 support.<br />
When the doorbell rings, an encrypted network<br />
connection is established with a Vo<strong>IP</strong> video<br />
phone, PC, or PC-tablet (iPad) that lets the Vo<strong>IP</strong><br />
device communicate via a built-in intercom, or<br />
open the door from anywhere in the world. The<br />
door station's integrated video recorder<br />
captures all individuals in front of the door (up<br />
to 10,000 clips) when the doorbell rings, or<br />
when the door opens. Likewise, the video data<br />
can be accessed from any location.<br />
With the access control module, individual<br />
access authorizations can be assigned via an<br />
RFID card, and/or an individual PIN code. Like<br />
an answering machine, this module lets visitors<br />
record messages, or leave messages to be<br />
received by a visitor. No PC or installation box<br />
is required to operate the module – the door<br />
station and a standard <strong>IP</strong> video phone are<br />
sufficient. The door station can also be<br />
integrated into existing buildings using the<br />
optional Mx2wire module which only needs the<br />
two bell wires to connect to the <strong>IP</strong> network and<br />
supply the door station with power.<br />
Better Overview, Increased Security,<br />
More Possibilities.<br />
The T24 <strong>IP</strong> Video Door Station offers an<br />
innovative, powerful solution that is easy to<br />
install and that has never been available to the<br />
market until now. In addition, the T24 is based<br />
on the international video telephony standards<br />
Vo<strong>IP</strong>/S<strong>IP</strong> and H.264 - the latest standard after<br />
ISDN and analog telephony.<br />
All of the modules offered for outdoor use are<br />
weatherproof, maintenance-free and can be<br />
used in temperatures ranging from -30 to<br />
+60°C (-22°F to 140°F). The most important<br />
system advantages at a glance:<br />
Allround View With No Blind Spots<br />
With 3.1 megapixels and internal memory, this<br />
Hemispheric door camera records the entire<br />
entrance area. No blind spots, from wall to wall<br />
and from floor to ceiling.<br />
Two-Way Video Around The World<br />
When the doorbell rings, a connection is<br />
established with an <strong>IP</strong> video phone or a<br />
standard computer via the network. For twoway<br />
video and for opening the door.<br />
Recording With Sound<br />
The camera in the door station can record<br />
events automatically. For example, when<br />
someone rings the doorbell or if something<br />
moves in front of the door.<br />
Keyless Entry<br />
Who has access when? The door opener can be<br />
controlled, simply and securely, using the<br />
keypad module with a PIN code or using an<br />
RFID transponder.<br />
Integrated Message Function<br />
Digital voice messages can be left at the door<br />
station and played back by pressing the<br />
doorbell or after entering individual<br />
authentication.<br />
Very Simple Installation<br />
The station is connected to the door via an<br />
Ethernet cable or via two bell wires thanks to<br />
Mx2wire technology. The T24 modules can also<br />
be upgraded with Siedle Vario systems .<br />

Security & Energy<br />
Global Concerns. Global Opportunities.<br />
For Pelco and Schneider Electric, what we do as a business has<br />
never been more relevant. Security and energy are among the<br />
world’s most pressing challenges.<br />
To support this natural association between<br />
security and energy, several steps have been<br />
taken to more closely align Pelco with Schneider<br />
Electric’s Buildings Business.<br />
Most significantly, Pelco President and CEO<br />
Dean Meyer has been promoted to the new<br />
position of Executive Vice President of<br />
Buildings Business, one of Schneider Electric’s<br />
five global businesses. Meyer is now<br />
responsible for the day-to-day operations of<br />
this division and reports directly to Chris Curtis,<br />
President and CEO of Schneider Electric’s<br />
Buildings Business.<br />
“Dean has done an outstanding job leading our<br />
Pelco organization, and with his leadership I’m<br />
confident we will execute on the bold growth<br />
agenda we have for our Buildings Business,”<br />
Curtis said. “Pelco is an important part of this<br />
business, and with Dean’s background we will<br />
take advantage of the many opportunities we<br />
have to strengthen and grow Pelco.”<br />
Meyer shares Curtis’ vision and agenda for<br />
company growth and expansion. “I’m excited<br />
about the opportunity to help lead our<br />
organization and further our ambition -<br />
especially during a time when our business and<br />
solutions could not be more relevant,”<br />
Meyer said. “We are proud of the fact Pelco<br />
products will play a key role in achieving this<br />
vision.”<br />
Meyer said Pelco remains 100 percent<br />
committed to its existing specialized sales<br />
channels (independent sales representatives,<br />
dealers, distributors and all resellers remain the<br />
same), and that this does not affect the Pelco<br />
business model in any way. With Pelco’s closer<br />
alignment to the Buildings Business of<br />
Schneider Electric, there are no plans to replace<br />
Meyer’s former position.<br />
“These changes certainly will not affect who<br />
Pelco is, nor will they affect Pelco’s commitment<br />
to its customers’ Meyer said.<br />
10_issue 29<br />
Pelco customer service is legendary, and the<br />
entire organization will benefit from our closer<br />
interaction. We are still the same people, with<br />
the same products and the same priorities.<br />
Pelco products now simply have more visibility<br />
and influence within Schneider Electric’s<br />
Buildings Business.<br />
“I look forward to being a champion of Pelco<br />
products, technologies and services for the<br />
Buildings Business.”<br />
Considering that these changes are moves<br />
based upon aggressive growth projections and<br />
plans, there’s a significant amount of<br />
opportunity for everyone. Security is one of the<br />
cornerstones of Schneider Electric’s growth<br />
strategy. These changes translate into more<br />
focus, investment and capability to deliver the<br />
security and convergence elements of our<br />
strategy. Customers will get the best of the<br />
complete buildings offer. They will also have the<br />
same people, products, solutions and priorities<br />
as well as the resources of a multi-billion dollar<br />
organization; fanatical customer service; and<br />
Schneider Electricís aim to provide end-to-end<br />
solutions that center around building<br />
performance.<br />

The Show Goes On at<br />
<strong>IP</strong>-in-Action LIVE London North<br />
With the theme "Going Green in Security & Safety"<br />
and a programme of presentations based on energysaving<br />
and environmentally friendly devices we<br />
maybe should have changed the title to "Going<br />
White" as the country was hit by freezing<br />
temperatures and was covered in snow.<br />
Regardless of the weather on the day though, things<br />
went ahead with the vast majority of exhibitors and a<br />
good number of members and guests making it<br />
through the adverse conditions to enjoy a worthwhile<br />
day of educational presentations, an excellent<br />
exhibition area and networking with like minded<br />
professionals.<br />
Seminar Theatre Programme<br />
Following the registration period and some well<br />
received hot drinks the presentational programme<br />
commenced with introductions from Andy Hennings,<br />
<strong>IP</strong> <strong>UserGroup</strong> manager and organizer of the events.<br />
Andy provided a short introduction to <strong>IP</strong> <strong>UserGroup</strong><br />
International, its mission and aims along with the<br />
activities and schedule of <strong>IP</strong>-in-Action LIVE events for<br />
2011. He also introduced the new element at the<br />
events whereby exhibitors have the opportunity to<br />
offer attending guests a promotional offer for that<br />
day only. Three exhibitors had provided “deal<br />
vouchers” for the day - Exacq Technologies,<br />
IQinVision and RISCO Group.<br />
The first presentation of<br />
the day was provided by<br />
Roger D Shuman from<br />
Exacq Technologies who<br />
had flown over from the<br />
USA to attend the day. As<br />
Marketing Manager, Roger<br />
presented "Hybrid NVR<br />
Solutions - Responsible and<br />
Cost-Efficient Use of Existing Resources" in which he<br />
discussed<br />
Hybrid NVR solutions that allow you to utilise existing<br />
analogue video infrastructures while simultaneously<br />
and continually migrating to the latest in <strong>IP</strong><br />
technology on the same system.<br />
14_issue 29<br />
Roger identified that the vast majority of systems, in<br />
the UK in particular, are currently analogue based<br />
and therefore the customers desire to progress<br />
towards <strong>IP</strong> needed to be balanced with budgetary<br />
constraints. He explained that although the growth of<br />
<strong>IP</strong> systems was now far greater than analogue, the<br />
“halfway house” of hybrid offered the most effective<br />
route to benefits and application possibilities <strong>IP</strong><br />
offers.<br />
This was followed by Iain<br />
Cundy, Sales Manager at<br />
JVC Professional with<br />
"Video and Voice -<br />
Integrated Control Room<br />
Solutions". Iain identified<br />
that many existing control<br />
room solutions employ a combination of video, voice<br />
and data services but not necessarily linked or<br />
managed from a single control system.<br />
He looked at a more integrated approach to the<br />
control room, with video and voice-based services<br />
combined in an intelligent way with other data<br />
streams to improve the management and support the<br />
operator's role.<br />
After the late morning<br />
break for tea & coffee and<br />
some time in the exhibition<br />
area, the seminar<br />
programme continued with<br />
Robert Verhulst, the Chief<br />
Technical Officer at Xtralis<br />
who had bravely<br />
negotiated his way to North<br />
London from Belgium via the Eurostar.<br />
Robert presented "A New Highly Energy Efficient<br />
Approach to Video Surveillance Data Storage" in<br />
which he identified that there were many data<br />
storage solutions designed for today's IT systems<br />
which were used for video data storage but that most<br />
had very high power consumption, particularly when<br />
long term storage was the requirement. He showed<br />
how a new patented Cold Disk Technology solution<br />
worked and explained how it substantially lowered<br />
power consumption.<br />
Robert was followed by Paul<br />
Hennings, Editor of <strong><strong>IP</strong>focus</strong><br />
magazine with “Going Global<br />
with <strong>IP</strong> Technology” in which<br />
he provided an update of the<br />
expansion and acceptance of<br />
<strong>IP</strong> in the security & safety<br />
sectors across the globe. He also took a particular<br />
look at Central and South America and reported back<br />
on his findings following his recent visit to Quito,<br />
Ecuador to attend and speak at the inaugural <strong>IP</strong><br />
<strong>UserGroup</strong> Latin America event, <strong>IP</strong>-in-Action LIVE<br />
Quito.<br />
Paul made it clear that this part of the world was not<br />
the stereotypical third-world and that the potential<br />
for security and safety in the region was exceptional.<br />
Membership Certificates<br />
During the course of the afternoon a number of<br />
Affiliates were presented with their membership<br />
certificates.<br />
B&B Electronics Exacq Technologies<br />
Plustek UK Yealink UK<br />
Unfortunately due to the weather conditions in the<br />
South of England a couple of the presenters were<br />
unable to get to the venue so it is hoped we will be<br />
able to include their presentations at one of the <strong>IP</strong>-in-<br />
Action LIVE events during 2011.<br />

ONVIF Propels Interoperability Forward<br />
In the third in a series of articles<br />
<strong><strong>IP</strong>focus</strong> invites those in the know to<br />
outline thier understanding of this<br />
crutial topic. We are delighted to<br />
welcome an update from Jonas<br />
Andersson, representing ONVIF<br />
Many security consultants and end users know<br />
first hand what it’s like to try to integrate<br />
network cameras, storage devices and<br />
encoders from different manufacturers. They<br />
recognize the benefits of an <strong>IP</strong>-based physical<br />
security system, such as remote accessibility,<br />
flexibility, cost effectiveness and future-proof<br />
scalability. And more often than not they<br />
request a security solution that avoids singlevendor<br />
lock-in.<br />
But these end users and customers also know<br />
from experience that unless interfaces have<br />
already been written to enable devices from<br />
different manufacturers to talk to one another,<br />
creating an interoperable system from<br />
multiple vendors can require them to invest in<br />
manual configuration and testing. It can also<br />
be an expensive and time consuming task,<br />
even for the most knowledgeable, technology<br />
savvy professional<br />
The recent introduction of ONVIF conformant<br />
products now provides end users and the<br />
security market at large with a greater<br />
freedom of choice to select best of breed <strong>IP</strong>based<br />
physical security solutions from<br />
disparate manufacturers.<br />
Interoperability highway<br />
A change has been afoot with the security<br />
industry making significant inroads towards<br />
interoperability. This is thanks in part to the<br />
inception of the ONVIF a little over two years<br />
ago. ONVIF, a non-profit organization, is<br />
dedicated to developing global standards for<br />
the interface of <strong>IP</strong>-based physical security<br />
products.<br />
The ONVIF specification currently includes<br />
core and test specifications to cover device<br />
discovery, device management, imaging,<br />
media configuration, real-time streaming of<br />
16_issue 29<br />
audio and video, event handling, video<br />
analytics, PTZ (Pan, Tilt and Zoom) control and<br />
security. It is now beginning to work on<br />
expanding the core specification relating to <strong>IP</strong>based<br />
access control solutions.<br />
There are now more than 300 conformant<br />
products, identified with an ONVIF logo,<br />
including network cameras, encoders, network<br />
video recorders and video management<br />
software. The organization boasts 240 member<br />
companies.<br />
Benefits abound<br />
Few in the security industry would dispute<br />
that when an end user implements a new or<br />
upgraded <strong>IP</strong>-based physical security system at<br />
his facility, the overriding goal is to install a<br />
best-of-breed solution.<br />
However, if an API (Application Programming<br />
Interface) didn’t already exist between<br />
products from different manufacturers, it<br />
wasn’t uncommon for an end user to stick<br />
with products from a single manufacturer<br />
instead of mixing and matching, for fear of<br />
technological challenges.<br />
Now, when an end user sees an ONVIF logo on<br />
a product to indicate the product follows<br />
ONVIF specifications, it provides that end user<br />
with the confidence that the product has been<br />
through a rigorous set of self-certification<br />
testing to ensure it works properly with other<br />
ONVIF conformant products.<br />
This level of product interoperability helps to<br />
remove much of the complexity of network<br />
video system design and decrease costs in<br />
several areas of the design/build process.<br />
ONVIF conformant products can dramatically<br />
reduce the time spent in this process, since<br />
the devices have been pre-certified to work<br />
together.<br />
The same benefit is true for end users looking<br />
to expand, fix or upgrade their current<br />
security system. The end user can upgrade<br />
their <strong>IP</strong>-based security system by selecting<br />
best-of-breed products instead of using one<br />
type or brand of product.<br />
Impact on RFPs and specifications<br />
Because of these benefits, the market has<br />
begun to see consultants and end users<br />
incorporate the ONVIF name into<br />
specifications, instead of specifications<br />
identifying a specific brand as part of the RFP<br />
process.<br />
The bottom line is that end users want the<br />
flexibility to determine which products best<br />
suit their security needs and they don’t want<br />
to be locked into using solutions from a single<br />
manufacturer. Standardization and<br />
interoperability, at the direction of ONVIF, has<br />
enabled the security market to make<br />
significant strides resulting in better product<br />
choices, connectivity and return on<br />
investment for the end user.<br />

Survey of the Security Business 2010:<br />
Developing the Business through Acquisition & Alliance<br />
This is part 1 of a 2 part synopsis of Memoori’s<br />
study “Survey of the Security Business 2010”. This<br />
our 2nd annual review about the world’s business<br />
for physical security equipment.<br />
Its objective is to bring together valuable statistics<br />
about the business size, shape and structure across 3<br />
main segments; Access Control, CCTV / Video<br />
Surveillance and Intruder Alarms; then analyse the<br />
business opportunities that have taken place in M&A,<br />
alliance and investment across the world in 2010. It<br />
also reviews those technological and commercial<br />
trends that are shaping the future of the business and<br />
impact on where investment is most likely to be<br />
targeted in 2011 and beyond.<br />
Part 1 - Developing the Business through Acquisition &<br />
Alliance<br />
2010 has been a monumental year for the security<br />
industry, despite a weak economy the market has<br />
grown and confidence in its future has returned. Once<br />
more the market is attracting private equity<br />
investment as well as delivering explosive growth<br />
through M&A and alliances between suppliers. The<br />
objective of this synopsis is to bring together valuable<br />
statistics about the business size, shape and structure.<br />
It then analyses the business opportunities that have<br />
taken place in M&A and alliances across the world in<br />
2010.<br />
Market Size, Share & Distribution<br />
We estimate that the world market for electronic<br />
based physical security equipment at factory gate<br />
prices in 2010 was USD $18.67 billion; a growth of 4 /<br />
5% on 2009 but still marginally below its peak in<br />
2008. Of this, Video Surveillance took the largest share<br />
at 47.5% increasing its share by 4.5%, at the expense<br />
of Intruder Alarms 29.5%; with Access Control at 23%.<br />
So despite overall growth in the business, intruder<br />
alarms sales have declined and access controls has<br />
lifted marginally, whilst Video Surveillance has<br />
performed well particularly considering the poor<br />
economic trading conditions that have prevailed over<br />
the last 3 years.<br />
This is a robust market which has outperformed many<br />
of the electronic equipment businesses supplying the<br />
industrial / commercial markets. For this reason<br />
acquisition and investment has surged ahead in 2010<br />
and is forecast to continue over the next 2 years.<br />
Fig 2.2 shows the geographic distribution of<br />
equipment sales in 2010 and this has changed<br />
significantly in the last 3 years. China has more than<br />
doubled its market share in the last 5 years to 11%,<br />
whilst other emerging markets in Asia, Central and<br />
Eastern Europe and South America have similarly<br />
increased their share of the market. This trend will<br />
continue with China probably becoming the biggest<br />
single market by the end of this decade.<br />
Merger & Acquisition in 2010 and Forecast to 2015<br />
Fig 4.1 shows security deals completed from 2000 to<br />
2010. The value of deals completed in 2010, was USD<br />
$7.98 billion; a growth of almost 75% on 2009. This is<br />
the highest value ever recorded and is 28% higher<br />
than the previous record set in 2005 and 2007. This is<br />
a startling number not least because it is in stark<br />
contrast to what has happened in similar businesses.<br />
So what has caused such a surge in consolidation, at a<br />
time when the global market for physical security<br />
equipment has experienced little growth?<br />
In 2009 we identified 77 acquisitions compared with<br />
80 in 2010. So the almost doubling in value of deals is<br />
clearly not the result of more transactions. The reason<br />
is that this year, consolidation has been much more<br />
focused at the top end of the business, between<br />
established large companies. The buying price for just<br />
three deals amounted to $4.3 billion, some 54% of the<br />
total business transacted, and a further 7 companies<br />
paid over $250 million to complete deals.<br />
The drivers to achieve growth in this industry are<br />
clearly to deliver products and services that increase<br />
productivity and provide a return on investment. IT<br />
Convergence and integrated solutions are seen as the<br />
way forward here. In order for companies to deliver<br />
such systems, many have decided that it is necessary<br />
to acquire expertise through merger and acquisition.<br />
One example of this is the need to join physical<br />
security with identity management and biometrics.<br />
Some of the largest acquisitions this year have been<br />
in this area. HID Global, the 3M Company and Hewlett<br />
Packard have all bought big in the last 4 months of<br />
this year.<br />
We identified 17 significant deals for Alarm Installation<br />
and Monitoring Companies, netting a total value of<br />
some USD $4.18 billion. So in 2010 this segment of the<br />
market has attracted some 52% of the total spend on<br />
acquisitions. So why has Alarm Monitoring, long the<br />
fragmented and low growth sector of the security<br />
industry (but cash cow provider) undergone such a<br />
surge in acquisition activity? On first observation cash<br />
flow in the difficult trading conditions of the last 2<br />
years would appear to be the main driver. However<br />
just removing the surface layer reveals that<br />
integration of the different security services delivered<br />
through SaaS is the enabler of providing a much more<br />
comprehensive and cost effective service to both<br />
residential and commercial customers. The need to<br />
scale up quickly is driving consolidation in this sector<br />
of the business.<br />
There have been some major landmarks during the<br />
last 12 months. In January 2010 Tyco purchased<br />
Broadview Security for USD $2 billion. This was<br />
followed in April with GTCR’s purchase of Protection<br />
One for USD $828 million. In September Safran bought<br />
L1-Identity Solutions for USD $1.1 billion and in<br />
December, Monitronics was acquired by Ascent Media<br />
Corp for USD $1.2billion.<br />
With the exclusion of alarm companies the surge in<br />
acquisition activity in 2010 has been driven by<br />
companies from outside the mainstream physical<br />
security market. Safran, L-3 Communications, Flir and<br />
3M have pulled off some major deals in 2010, but<br />
mainstream suppliers like Schneider Electric, UTC,<br />
Honeywell and Bosch have been conspicuous by their<br />
absence.<br />
This year is going to be a hard act to follow, because<br />
to continue this rate of consolidation will require the<br />
merging or acquisition of very large leading suppliers<br />
and their numbers are getting depleted. However we<br />
think that this high rate of consolidation can and will<br />
continue for a few years, not least because the major<br />
suppliers absented themselves from the dealing tables<br />
in 2010 and have made claims to be active in the near<br />
future. UTC have made it publicly known that they<br />
intend to grow through acquisition and it is now over<br />
a year since their mega purchase of GE’s Fire &<br />
Security Division. This month, Tyco announced that<br />
they have set aside $500 million to acquire companies<br />
in India, Brazil, Middle East and China to push<br />
inorganic growth in these markets.<br />

OBI protects its business with<br />
Honeywell Galaxy Dimension<br />
With over 550 retail outlets worldwide, OBI is a<br />
leading brand in the building and DIY sector<br />
across Europe. Founded in Germany 40 years ago,<br />
the company now employs around 38,000 staff.<br />
OBI began its international expansion in Italy in<br />
1991 and now employs over 1,700 staff across 47<br />
stores with floor spaces ranging from 2,000 to<br />
7,000 square metres, and a total floor space of<br />
135,000 square metres. In 2009, OBI welcomed over<br />
11 million customers through its doors.<br />
Thanks to a positive response from Italian<br />
consumers, the OBI Group is successful in<br />
achieving its objective to cater for every aspect of<br />
home improvement at affordable prices for<br />
customers who enjoy putting their skills and<br />
creativity to work completing DIY projects in their<br />
spare time.<br />
The Requirement: Over the years, OBI has always<br />
invested effectively in physical security with<br />
intruder alarm and video surveillance systems.<br />
With the experience OBI has gained in security and<br />
its own technical expertise, Inres, the division of<br />
the group which manages OBI’s security<br />
requirements, recognised the opportunity to<br />
improve and optimise OBI’s security procedures<br />
using the latest technologies on the market. Inres’<br />
vision was to integrate intrusion detection and<br />
video surveillance in the OBI stores and to simplify<br />
operation and management with one user<br />
interface.<br />
The new solution needed to take into account<br />
OBI's existing security systems to minimise new<br />
investment and provide a solution suitable for its<br />
current and future requirements. It would be<br />
implemented in all stores throughout Italy, both in<br />
new buildings and during the renovation of<br />
existing buildings.<br />
To achieve this, OBI decided that it required a<br />
security system that would allow the integration of<br />
intrusion and video surveillance functions to<br />
18_issue 29<br />
deliver a more powerful and flexible solution.<br />
OBI also required a flexible access control system<br />
that could be integrated with the security system<br />
so that one swipe card could be used for both the<br />
access control and intrusion functions.<br />
OBI defined that the integration software must<br />
provide a simple, intuitive yet comprehensive<br />
graphical user interface, possibly using "touch<br />
screen" technology, to enable store managers to<br />
use the interlinked and complex security system<br />
quickly and easily. This graphical user interface<br />
was to be located in the main information and<br />
control centre located in the reception area of<br />
every store.<br />
Elcon Italia has worked for many years in the field<br />
of systems integration and was responsible for<br />
proposing customised software that suited OBI’s<br />
requirements.<br />
Solution: The search for the most appropriate<br />
system resulted in the selection of Honeywell<br />
Galaxy Dimension. Galaxy Dimension was the only<br />
platform that would allow the security system to<br />
be integrated with the access control system while<br />
also allowing the development of monitoring<br />
software that would integrate all security<br />
functions (intrusion, video and access control).<br />
Galaxy Dimension meets the increasing need for<br />
the security market to adopt open systems which<br />
can integrate with each other, even in highly<br />
complex systems, and also provide the end user<br />
with a user-friendly solution, ease of installation<br />
and maintenance.<br />
Galaxy Dimension’s access control function and its<br />
compatibility with standard Wiegand readers made<br />
it possible to use one swipe card for intrusion and<br />
access control. This offered a considerable<br />
advantage in terms of both time and cost. In<br />
addition, the Galaxy Dimension system integrates<br />
with third-party manufacturers’ systems enabling<br />
OBI to retain its existing video system so that only<br />
the intrusion system needed to be replaced.<br />
The selected control panel was Galaxy Dimension<br />
520 due to its ideal suitability for the size of OBI's<br />
stores and its flexibility for future expansion.<br />
"We now have a complete security solution which<br />
offers the appropriate level of protection to suit<br />
OBI Italia’s requirements: totally flexible with a<br />
simple and intuitive graphical user interface that<br />
allows quick and effective control," said Daniele<br />
Sgrilli, Technical Director of OBI Italia.<br />
<strong>IP</strong>-in-Action<br />
The advantages<br />
Savings: By integrating existing components into<br />
the Galaxy Dimension system BUS savings are<br />
possible in cable laying and time consuming<br />
connections. A considerable saving has also been<br />
made in terms of the cost and time to install and<br />
commission the new system, allowing the solution<br />
to be implemented in a very short time, fully<br />
satisfying the customer's requirements.<br />
Furthermore, maintenance and programming of<br />
Galaxy Dimension can easily be carried out<br />
through a remote management tool which permits<br />
automatic monitoring and direct communication<br />
with the OBI store personnel responsible for<br />
maintenance. This results in considerable cost<br />
and time savings by reducing the frequency of onsite<br />
operations.<br />
Integration: Galaxy Dimension’s flexibility was one<br />
of its biggest selling points! Its integrated access<br />
function and open platform allowing it to merge<br />
seamlessly with other building control systems<br />
have enabled it to fully respond to the customer's<br />
requirements. Thanks to its extensive knowledge<br />
of the Galaxy Dimension system, Elcon Italia has<br />
developed the supervision software to enable<br />
management of the various intrusion, video and<br />
access control functions from the control centre in<br />
the reception area of every store using one simple<br />
and intuitive touch screen interface.<br />
"Combining access control and intrusion in a<br />
single integrated system with one point of contact<br />
has resulted in greater ease of use and flexibility<br />
for the employees who use the system every<br />
day,".stated Giacomo Bonassi, Store Manager of<br />
the OBI Reggio-Emilia.<br />
Result: Within one year in Italy, six new stores have<br />
been built and another three have been modified<br />
with the new solution which incorporates Galaxy<br />
Dimension. OBI Italia now has a complete and<br />
integrated system which can be adopted by all<br />
stores and managed from a simple graphical user<br />
interface where it is possible to display not only<br />
alarm signals but also maps and related video<br />
images in detail.

Hotel's Security System gets the<br />
Largest HD Camera Installation<br />
Milestone Certified Partner Camsecure has installed the<br />
largest national implementation of HDTV video<br />
surveillance cameras at the award-winning Saxon Hotel<br />
in Johannesburg, South Africa. Upgrading the hotel's<br />
security technology with the newest innovations is a<br />
continuous return on investment thanks to the<br />
Milestone open platform <strong>IP</strong> video management<br />
software.<br />
The Saxon Boutique Hotel, Villas & Spa is an<br />
international award-winning hotel for top echelon<br />
guests such as political dignitaries, royalty, entertainers<br />
and other V<strong>IP</strong>s. Such clientele demand the utmost in<br />
security and privacy. The hotel's valuable original<br />
African art collection also requires top protection, and<br />
the surveillance system simultaneously provides<br />
constant overview of all staff shifts and activities to<br />
ensure the most effective operations.<br />
Camsecure installed Milestone XProtect Professional<br />
software in 2006 as the first stage in the hotel's<br />
security system foundation with future-proof<br />
adaptability provided by its <strong>IP</strong> open platform. Upgrades<br />
were made in 2008 and 2009 to XProtect Enterprise<br />
and additional Axis network cameras. In 2010, three<br />
new luxury villas were built after the hotel bought<br />
adjacent property. Scaling the security solution to the<br />
expanded facilities brought the opportunity to leverage<br />
the advantages of High Definition video quality by<br />
installing Axis HDTV cameras.<br />
Expert design brings high performance efficiency<br />
Francois Malan, Technical Director at Camsecure,<br />
reports: "We now have about 150 HDTV cameras at the<br />
Saxon and 40 legacy STD resolution cameras, running<br />
them on H.264 compression at 8fps which does not use<br />
a lot of disk space or bandwidth. In actual fact we are<br />
using less disk space with HDTV cameras on H.264 than<br />
we were using with STD resolution cameras on MJPEG.<br />
We are covering much larger areas with a single<br />
camera than ever before and recording more pixels for<br />
excellent coverage of all entrances for identification<br />
purposes."<br />
Malan explains that they chose five Dell power edge<br />
servers with direct attached storage on a raid 5<br />
configuration, "which is very fast performance, so we<br />
don't lose any footage. The trick is to have fast disks on<br />
your primary recording server. We are using SAS drives<br />
with 15000 rpm - twice the speed of the standard SATA<br />
drives at 7200 rpm. Also, we use a Windows 64 bit<br />
operating system which the Milestone software<br />
supports (opposed to the standard 32 bit OS). This gives<br />
us more available memory which helps with the<br />
read/write buffering process on the disks. We also<br />
group on servers the cameras that have lots of<br />
movement with cameras that have less movement to<br />
balance out the performance, a practical consideration<br />
in the design. The Milestone software also does the<br />
archiving process to the attached storage very<br />
efficiently and therefore does not impact on the CPU<br />
processing or disk speeds - this is very important when<br />
recording HDTV, also since we are recording for 3<br />
months which produces a lot of video archives."<br />
Plans are to also use the Axis cameras own built-in<br />
motion detection in order to cut down on the<br />
processing power required by the recording servers, so<br />
the servers will barely be doing any processing work,<br />
just writing footage to disk.<br />
"This actually works very well with the Milestone<br />
software as you then record from the camera only on<br />
event. You just set up the event in XProtect and you<br />
can still have a live stream for viewing the video. At the<br />
moment the highest CPU usage is around 20%, which<br />
goes up some when the client does playback on a large<br />
amount of cameras at once," he says. "But Milestone<br />
has some clever settings in the Smart Client software<br />
which really make a difference when viewing in the<br />
control room and remotely."<br />
Malan remarks that there are a lot of other factors that<br />
also impact HDTV surveillance design, such as switches<br />
and network infrastructure. For example, the amount of<br />
clients and screens to be used, or the number of<br />
cameras displayed per screen will influence the system<br />
performance.<br />
Meeting the highest security demands<br />
Many of the Saxon Hotel's high profile guests also<br />
travel with their own security personnel. Often these<br />
professionals will do pre-visit inspections of the hotel<br />
to review their V<strong>IP</strong>'s specific protection requirements.<br />
"Within the security industry, including foreign and<br />
police agencies, they know how state-of-the-art our<br />
operation is and that it is one of the best possibly<br />
available. They are therefore very comfortable with our<br />
security measures," asserts Shaun Swanepoel, Security<br />
Manager at the Saxon Hotel. "We run our security<br />
preventively and proactively - that's what it's about."<br />
"The open platform network video approach with<br />
Milestone at the core allows the expansions over time<br />
to cover new property, but also to use new types of<br />
cameras that become available. Taking advantage of<br />
the latest technologies keeps the business competitive<br />
and on the cutting edge to continue providing the best<br />
security and service levels for their important guests,"<br />
concludes Malan.<br />

Ganz Solutions<br />
protects police<br />
helicopter<br />
When it comes to crime fighting and tracking down<br />
criminals, the police helicopter is an invaluable tool.<br />
Loaded with the latest video and thermal imaging<br />
technologies, it provides a range of detection tools to<br />
deploy against lawbreakers.<br />
But the downside to possessing such a powerful<br />
resource is that criminals are keen to neutralise its<br />
capabilities, as one police force in England found out<br />
recently when its helicopters were subjected to<br />
sabotage attacks whilst on the ground. To combat this<br />
threat Ganz Solutions was asked by the force to<br />
provide effective protection. The challenging task<br />
involved alerting staff to any potential intrusion and<br />
providing visual verification of incidents, in all<br />
weathers and under difficult lighting conditions.<br />
During Ganz Solutions’ initial site visit it was<br />
immediately apparent that the area of coverage<br />
requested by the police was large: approximately 300<br />
x 600 metres. The requirement was to detect any<br />
person(s) or vehicle crossing the airfield boundaries<br />
and moving towards the helicopter or helicopter<br />
hangar. Conventionally, the solution to such a request<br />
would involve the use of perimeter protection via<br />
CCTV cameras, either PTZ or static units – mounted on<br />
camera poles positioned every few metres – complete<br />
with external movement detectors and supplementary<br />
lighting. But this type of installation can be expensive<br />
and, at best, only offer alarm-preset views of fixed<br />
areas covered by the external detectors. Faced with<br />
moving targets, visual verification becomes very<br />
difficult without the presence of a real-time tracking<br />
detection system.<br />
Steve Dunning, Business Development Manager<br />
(North) for Ganz Solutions, comments: "We’ve been<br />
able to provide our client with a comprehensive early<br />
warning system through long-range 24/7 detection,<br />
including night time surveillance. We’ve also provided<br />
added-value by integrating with the pre-existing onsite<br />
surveillance system and enabling off-site control.”<br />

Major university chooses RISCO Group Access Control &<br />
SynopSYS TM Security & Building Management Solution<br />
EPFL, Switzerland’s renowned university<br />
spanning three million square meters, is<br />
comprised of 60 diverse buildings where 13,000<br />
students and faculty members spend time<br />
every day. EPFL wanted a solution that would<br />
help them monitor and control the access of<br />
such a large number of people to the different<br />
areas across its vast campus.<br />
The Challenge<br />
EPFL’s campus contains many types of buildings<br />
and rooms including seminar rooms,<br />
laboratories, libraries, and areas containing<br />
sensitive materials. Each student, faculty<br />
member, and employee requires access to<br />
different areas within the site.<br />
Until recently, campus users were carrying<br />
numerous documents with them around<br />
campus including an access card, an ID card, a<br />
copy-machine card, vouchers to buy meals, and<br />
spending money. EPFL found this situation to be<br />
inconvenient and inefficient. Having so many<br />
cards for each person compromised security<br />
and was high in administrative costs. Factors<br />
such as the complexity of the large site, the<br />
diversity of users’ needs, and the different<br />
systems already in place made the possibility<br />
for change difficult. EPFL required a modular<br />
and flexible solution that would integrate easily<br />
with their database.<br />
The Solution<br />
Polyright, the integrator at EPFL, chose RISCO<br />
Group’s Access Control system combined with<br />
SynopSYS Security & Building Management<br />
platform as the solution that met all<br />
requirements. Applied to over 1000 doors, the<br />
Access Control system was integrated with<br />
EPFL’s database, and uses the cardholders’<br />
credentials to define users’ access rights to the<br />
campus facilities. The system enables<br />
authorized personnel to easily modify students’<br />
access rights based on their status and needs.<br />
It also enabled EPFL to add an additional layer<br />
of security for access to areas containing<br />
sensitive information by requiring biometric<br />
identification.<br />
The solution provided each user with a ‘Smart<br />
Card’ that served not only as their access card,<br />
but also replaced all of the personal cards they<br />
previously had to carry. The single card also<br />
contains digital currency that can be used in<br />
any of the campus restaurants. Each user’s<br />
balance is registered to an online database,<br />
ensuring that a lost card does not mean the
loss of the balance left on the card.<br />
RISCO Group’s Access Control system was<br />
integrated with the SynopSYS Security &<br />
Building Management Solution. SynopSYS<br />
enables EPFL to control and monitor the Access<br />
Control system geographically across the entire<br />
campus from one interface. SynopSYS provides<br />
an overall picture of all the buildings and rooms<br />
across the site via intuitive synoptic maps in<br />
real time.<br />
Highlights<br />
Each user was issued an access control card<br />
with different • authorization levels, which also<br />
replaced the ID cards, vouchers, and money<br />
they previously carried. Over 13,000 people are<br />
using the system, which applies • to over 1000<br />
doors, and additional users and added<br />
immediately as required. SynopSYS enables<br />
control and management of the entire •<br />
campus from one intuitive user interface.<br />
SynopSYS is extremely flexible, its open platform<br />
allowing • for easy integration not only with the<br />
Access Control system, but also with video<br />
monitoring, intrusion, and fire systems, as well<br />
as HVAC, lighting, and elevator control. The<br />
Customer’s Point of View<br />
Polyright was pleased with SynopSYS ease of<br />
integration with the Access Control system,<br />
which made the campus more secure and<br />
efficient. Polyright particularly valued its<br />
intuitive user-interface with simple definitions,<br />
where they could drag-and-drop elements<br />
without any need for configuration. According<br />
to Polyright, this allowed for “fast and simple<br />
installation, as well as easy training.” SynopSYS<br />
open platform makes it easy to expand<br />
according to the client’s future needs.<br />

supporter of the RFiD <strong>UserGroup</strong> stated; “ISIO –<br />
International Security Industry Organization is<br />
calling for all security industry players and stake<br />
holders to join the revolution to bring RFiD to the<br />
Security Industry in its own right. The security<br />
industry has acknowledged RFiD Technology as a<br />
device of access control. With the birth of the<br />
latest technology, ‘RFiD software and hardware is<br />
now widely available’ – the security industry has to<br />
acknowledge RFiD as its own entity”.<br />
Adding; “Security Integrators have a list of services<br />
to promote themselves, such as CCTV, Access<br />
<strong><strong>IP</strong>focus</strong><br />
Control and Perimeter Security specialists. Now, by<br />
adding RFiD onto such a list, it will provide the<br />
market with new specialist integrators that can<br />
integrate more technology, thus supplying more<br />
solutions and benefits to end-user clients.”<br />

Brickcom Pleased to Announce its First Full<br />
HD, 3 Megapixel Network Camera<br />
Brickcom Corporation is pleased to<br />
announce the release of its first 3<br />
megapixel network camera, the FB-<br />
300A.<br />
With its 3 megapixel sensor that delivers both<br />
Full HD (1080p) and HD(720p) resolution, the<br />
FB-300A is the ideal surveillance solution for<br />
open areas and applications that require<br />
detailed video surveillance - license plates,<br />
numbers, and people for example.<br />
The FB-300A series can stream video feed at<br />
up to 2,032 x 1,526 megapixel resolution. With<br />
its wider view angle, the number of cameras<br />
needed for each application is reduced. With a<br />
removable IR-cut Filter and H.264, MPEG4, and<br />
MJPEG triple codec compression, the FB-300A<br />
series provides true day and night surveillance<br />
with reduced bandwidth and storage<br />
requirements.<br />
Users can view live feed from anywhere by<br />
using their internet browser or 3G mobile<br />
phone. The Fixed Box series can also transmit<br />
the video to portable devices through<br />
technologies such as Power over Ethernet<br />
(PoE), WiMax, NAS, Digital Frame and power<br />
lines.<br />
The Wireless WFB-300A model<br />
combines IEEE 802.11 a/b/g/n<br />
wireless compliance and WPS<br />
(Wi-Fi Protected Setup) to<br />
create a secure wireless<br />
solution that can be easily<br />
installed in locations where<br />
Ethernet cabling is too<br />
difficult or expensive. By<br />
utilizing dual band WiFi,<br />
the WFB-300A is able to<br />
deliver smooth video<br />
and audio<br />
surveillance without<br />
the interference of<br />
network traffic from devices such as laptops,<br />
portable phones, and microwaves. The WPS<br />
function enables users to setup a secure<br />
wireless network connection between the<br />
camera and access point with the push of a<br />
button. Each Brickcom FB-300A is equipped<br />
with an SD/SDHC memory card slot that allows<br />
the camera to record video to a memory card<br />
if the connection is ever down, ensuring that<br />
valuable video footage is never lost.<br />
The DI/DO terminal and IVA applications work<br />
together to enhance the surveillance<br />
protection and utility offered by the FB-300A.<br />
The DI/DO terminal allows users to connect the<br />
FB-300A to external alarm and sensor devices<br />
for added security protection. In addition to<br />
the built-in motion detection function, the FB-<br />
300Aa model can also support Intelligent Video<br />
Analysis which can be used for applications<br />
such as object tracking, people counting, and<br />
forbidden region alarm alerts.

“Nevada Gaming Commission Certified” Basler<br />
<strong>IP</strong> Cameras Ensure Fair Play at Las Vegas Casino<br />
Basler Vision Technologies have announced that<br />
several of their new <strong>IP</strong> Camera models have been<br />
selected by Jerry’s Nugget Casino to secure their<br />
gaming facilities in Las Vegas, Nevada.<br />
Jerry’s Nugget is a well-established Las Vegas casino<br />
with various gaming options, live stage entertainment,<br />
and dining facilities. In the course of a security<br />
technology update, Jerry’s Nugget is replacing 220<br />
analog cameras with 200 Basler <strong>IP</strong> Cameras.<br />
The majority of the cameras are to be installed in the<br />
gaming table and slot machine areas. With their<br />
megapixel resolution CCD sensors, Basler's B<strong>IP</strong>2-1300cdn<br />
<strong>IP</strong> Cameras help to identify the smallest image<br />
details such as the face of a playing card on a large<br />
gaming table. Additional cameras will secure the<br />
casino’s “cage”, where chips and tokens can be<br />
bought or exchanged for cash and where money is<br />
counted. In this area, Basler’s new B<strong>IP</strong>2-640c-dn <strong>IP</strong><br />
Cameras will be used to detect any irregularities that<br />
are too fast for the human eye to see.<br />
For video data storage, Jerry’s Nugget relies on a<br />
TimeSight video management software and server<br />
solution. TimeSight’s video life cycle management<br />
(VLM) system periodically compresses all image data<br />
depending on its age and event severity, and thus<br />
drastically reduces storage costs.<br />
Some 25% of the cameras have already been installed<br />
by Southwest Surveillance Systems, a TimeSight<br />
Systems partner, and they are among the first<br />
megapixel <strong>IP</strong> cameras to have ever achieved<br />
certification by the Nevada State Gaming Commission.<br />
Among the requirements for certification is a camera<br />
frame rate of 30 fps, which the Basler’s B<strong>IP</strong>2-1300c-dn<br />
delivers using any type of compression (MJPEG, MPEG-<br />
4, or H.264). And with its frame rate of 100 fps, the<br />
B<strong>IP</strong>2-640c-dn <strong>IP</strong> Camera is even three times faster<br />
than the Nevada State Gaming Commission's<br />
regulations require.<br />
Jeremy Stamis, General Manager at Jerry's Nugget<br />
Casino, is delighted with his new security camera<br />
installation. "We had a number of objectives in mind<br />
when refreshing our surveillance system. Our key<br />
goals included truly forensic-quality video as well as<br />
<strong>IP</strong> <strong>UserGroup</strong> Doubles-Up in Europe with<br />
a Two-Centre <strong>IP</strong>-in-Action LIVE Event.<br />
In association with Beveiliging Magazine and<br />
GIT Verlag Security Magazine<br />
Following the great success of the Amsterdam<br />
event in 2009 and Dusseldorf in 2007, it was<br />
always our intention to return and now with a<br />
kind invitation from or European Media<br />
Partners, we are intending to organise an event<br />
along the lines of the Irish event last July. The<br />
major difference this year is that we will be<br />
inviting members of the RFiD <strong>UserGroup</strong> to<br />
participate.<br />
<strong>IP</strong>-in-Action LIVE Europe<br />
This two-centre event is planned for the 6th<br />
and 7th July 2011 and is expected to be a very<br />
popular event with Affiliates, Members and<br />
guests alike (just like Amsterdam in 2009 and<br />
Dusseldorlf in 2007). Each of the days will<br />
follow the same successful model of a full<br />
programme of Educational Seminars along with<br />
our ever popular table-top Exhibition Area.<br />
In conjunction with Beveiliging Magazine event<br />
will be held in the Amsterdam area on<br />
Wednesday 6th July – an excellent venue, with<br />
the Dusseldorf event in association with GIT<br />
Security Magazine the following day, Thursday<br />
7th July.<br />
<strong>IP</strong>-in-Action LIVE Europe is a special event over<br />
and above our usual four <strong>IP</strong>-in-Action LIVE<br />
events for 2011 with special arrangements for<br />
companies wishing to attend both days.<br />
extended retention to protect our business against all<br />
types of loss, including regulatory fines, liability,<br />
shrinkage, and other types of crime," Stamis said.<br />
"With Basler's <strong>IP</strong> Cameras and TimeSight's video life<br />
cycle management, we now get both an amazingly<br />
high level of detail and still save storage costs."<br />
“Due to the high number of cameras, large storage<br />
requirements, and stringent specifications from the<br />
gaming commissions, video surveillance in the gaming<br />
sector has always been a challenge. The industry<br />
hesitated for a long time before replacing aging<br />
analog systems with the latest <strong>IP</strong>-based megapixel<br />
technology,” said Marko Vogt, Sales Manager Americas<br />
– Security at Basler. “Reaching a constant frame rate<br />
of 30 fps in the casino’s low light environment has<br />
been a hurdle to adapting megapixel cameras in<br />
gaming. The unique combination of Basler cameras<br />
and TimeSight’s Video Life Cycle Management solution<br />
provides high resolution, high frame rate video while<br />
reducing the required storage space by up to 90%."<br />
Scott Bartlett, CEO of Southwest Surveillance, adds:<br />
"As one of the first certified megapixel installations in<br />
Las Vegas gaming, the quality of images is amazing<br />
and will set a new standard for forensic image quality<br />
in this environment. Most casinos struggle to<br />
determine the suits of cards on the table when<br />
viewing their video. This system gives us the ability to<br />
clearly read the suit of the cards on the table, not only<br />
immediately, but months later."<br />
Note to Exhibitors/Speakers<br />
This is an ideal opportunity for Exhibitors to<br />
combine sales visits to the two main<br />
commercial centres in Europe.<br />
If you wish to participate in the European twocentre<br />
event the <strong>IP</strong> <strong>UserGroup</strong> will be arranging<br />
hotel accommodation at both sites PLUS<br />
transfers between Venues on the Wednesday<br />
evening we can also accommodate a limited<br />
amount of equipment. There will also be<br />
popular Network Dinners prior to both events.<br />
Places will be limited so please book early<br />
(single venue booking are also available).<br />

vulnerabilities of Wiegand controller signal<br />
cloning growing strong within the security<br />
market, CEM is delighted to announce the release<br />
of the new sPass reader and DCM 350 two-door<br />
controller with secure RS485 encrypted<br />
communications”, said Andrew Fulton, Business<br />
Development Director for CEM Systems.<br />
“Developed as an end to end secure solution,<br />
these new CEM products have designed out<br />
these security vulnerabilities with the added<br />
benefit of an affordable price”.<br />
CEM sPass reader is a contactless smart card<br />
reader with powerful 3DES (Triple DES)<br />
encryption. Available as a keypad or non-keypad<br />
option, the sPass reader connects to the new<br />
DCM 350 intelligent two-door controller, which<br />
utilises highly encrypted RS485 communications<br />
to the sPass reader. This effectively eliminates<br />
the threat and vulnerabilities of controller signal<br />
cloning.<br />
In addition to the benefit of highly secure RS485<br />
communications, the DCM 350 (Door Control<br />
Module) features an intelligent database for<br />
offline card validation. Operating in offline<br />
mode, the DCM 350 can hold up to 200,000<br />
cards. It can be configured to support two sPass<br />
readers on two separate doors with optional Exit<br />
push buttons, or can be configured to support<br />
two sPass readers on a single door for Entry/Exit<br />
control. It is available in two options – the sDCM<br />
350 supports serial devices or the eDCM 350<br />
supports <strong>IP</strong> devices.<br />
CEM has also introduced a new contactless 13.56<br />
MHz DESFire smart card to eliminate the threat<br />
of card cloning. Each card has different sets of<br />
encrypted keys that are securely stored on the<br />
card for high levels of security. CEM prepersonalises<br />
the card memory for customer<br />
convenience and cost efficiency. This offers<br />
customers a flexible and quick smart card<br />
solution, without the cost of card personalisation<br />
and key/filing management. The CEM DESFire<br />
smart card can hold up to 28 different security<br />
applications such as access control and cashless<br />
vending, and 32 files per application.<br />
Combined as one highly secure DESFire<br />
controller solution, the CEM eDCM 350 two-door<br />
controller and sPass DESFire reader & smart-card<br />
will offer the security market a low cost, yet<br />
highly secure option when a panel approach is<br />
required. Customers will have multiple layers of<br />
security from start to end:<br />
CEM DESFire card level – The CEM perpersonalised<br />
smart card utilises DESFire<br />
encryption to securely store information. Each<br />
card has a unique set of keys that have been<br />
encrypted for high security<br />
Smart card key management – As keys are<br />
managed securely by the system, there are no<br />
programming cards. This both increases system<br />
security and reduces management overheads.<br />
sPass reader level - With a built-in tamper switch,<br />
the sPass reader is a highly secure reader as no<br />
keys permanently reside in the reader. sPass<br />
reader is available as keypad option for addition<br />
PIN security<br />
eDCM 350 two-door controller level – The eDCM<br />
350 two-door controller features RS485<br />
encrypted serial communications between the<br />
sPass reader and the controller.
Vemotion Interactive have announced that its<br />
real-time video solution has been successfully<br />
deployed by Leedswatch, the CCTV operation run<br />
by Leeds City Council, Community Safety, to<br />
enhance is support of West Yorkshire Police<br />
operations at key football matches.<br />
Vemotion video compression and transmission<br />
equipment has been installed in the latest<br />
Leesdwatch mobile CCTV vans which are now<br />
able to augment the existing fixed camera<br />
network in cost-effectively providing live images<br />
to Police Control Rooms (ACRs) as well as to the<br />
control room within the Elland Road stadium.<br />
“We have forged an excellent working<br />
relationship with Vemotion staff who have<br />
adapted their technology to meet our specific<br />
need”, said Marcus Beacham, Head of Community<br />
Safety and Partnerships. “This has enabled us to<br />
enhance the support we already provide to West<br />
Yorkshire Police in their operations”, he added.<br />
Some football matches are more likely than<br />
others to be a hotspot for public disorder and<br />
other offences, especially before and after the<br />
game when large crowds of fans from opposing<br />
teams converge on the ground and disperse<br />
again later. Whereas the mobile CCTV vans had<br />
previously been able to record images for<br />
subsequent viewing and capture for evidential<br />
purposes, their effectiveness has now been<br />
further increased.<br />
<strong><strong>IP</strong>focus</strong><br />
Vermotion Live CCTV from Mobile Units Enhances<br />
Policing of Football Matches<br />
Both before and after a football match, mobile<br />
CCTV vans can be positioned and maneuvered to<br />
provide live coverage of areas not adequately<br />
covered by the existing fixed camera network as<br />
fans travel to and from the ground<br />
Using Vemotion video compression technology,<br />
real-time video images captured by standard<br />
CCTV cameras mounted on the mobile units are<br />
transmitted back to a Vemotion Streaming<br />
Server in the CCTV Control Room. An interface<br />
from the standard mobile phone network is used<br />
to transmit the video over the Internet using<br />
GPRS. The Vemotion Encoder provides a highly<br />
efficient video compression and transmission<br />
that ensures that the quality video images can<br />
be reliably transmitted over very low bandwidth<br />
connections. This resolves the issues of speed<br />
and, combined with the use of the Internet, also<br />
resolves the high bandwidth costs as the Images<br />
are transmitted in a highly optimised form to<br />
make best use of available network bandwidth.<br />

The event was wound-up by Pablo Reyes who thanked<br />
all involved and the delegates returned to the<br />
exhibition area for further discussion.<br />
Pablo Reyes stated, “Having spoken to both exhibitors<br />
and delegated it is clear that the Bogotá event, as<br />
with the previous event in Quito Ecuador, was<br />
extremely well received, the presentations were of<br />
the highest calibre and judging from the intense<br />
concentration from those in the audience resonated<br />
both in terms of technical contents and commercial<br />
understanding.” he added, “I was a little worried<br />
about the attendance when I heard about the<br />
transport strike which paralysed the city, but the<br />
turn-out was first class, both in numbers and quality<br />
of visitors”.<br />
"Thanks for inviting us to participate in the <strong>IP</strong><br />
<strong>UserGroup</strong> recent event in Bogotá, it was very good<br />
with strong participation from local customers and<br />
quality exhibitors, we believe in the need for such<br />
conferences to educate our customers, we look<br />
forward to being part of future events.<br />
Congratulations!” - César González, VP International<br />
Sales and Market Development - DIGIOP Technologies<br />

The first product MOBOTIX,<br />
launched in 1999, was a network camera with built-in<br />
recording technology (DVR). It was the first in the<br />
world. This decentralized approach was so<br />
revolutionary it changed forever the video<br />
surveillance industry. Because the management of<br />
the camera was completely autonomous, not for the<br />
first time recording systems needed focus-tries of<br />
high cost. The decentralized MOBOTIX system uses a<br />
comparatively low bandwidth, even for megapixels,<br />
making it much more profitable and scaling is simpler<br />
than the traditional centralized systems.<br />

Hikvision Serves Oman Ruwi Hotel<br />
with Comprehensive Security Solution<br />
Located in the heart of Muscat, the capital of Oman,<br />
the three-star Ruwi Hotel overlooks the city's main<br />
business district. With its classic fortress style<br />
architecture, the hotel is sought after by many<br />
business travelers and enthusiastic holidaymakers<br />
who enjoy its traditional Omani hospitality<br />
complemented by international service standards.<br />
In order to protect people and assets as well as<br />
watching over the hotel, Aitken Spence Hotels Group,<br />
the owners of the Ruwi Hotel, required a reliable and<br />
comprehensive surveillance system to be deployed in<br />
the hotel. And Hikvision was chosen for its high quality<br />
products and services.<br />
Challenge The hotel has more than 100 well-furnished<br />
guest rooms as well as other facilities. However, no<br />
surveillance system had been used in Ruwi hotel<br />
before, this presented a huge challenge to<br />
implementing a totally new surveillance system<br />
designed to safeguard the entire facility, including<br />
entrances and exits, lobby, corridors, elevators and<br />
parking lots.<br />
Aitken Spence Hotels Group needed the ability to<br />
acquire excellent video footage to clearly see the<br />
security status, especially detailed images of vehicles<br />
driving in and out of the parking lots. However, the<br />
high temperature in Oman could normally cause<br />
Hikvision's H.264 compression cards are being used in<br />
the US, Canada and South America by CEVA Logistics, a<br />
world-leading logistics company whose global network<br />
has facilities in 170 countries and 46,000 employees<br />
generating a turnover of $7bn. The company offers<br />
customers complete supply chain design and<br />
implementation in contract logistics and freight<br />
management. CEVA Logistics has more than 1,000<br />
branches and is the product of mergers between TNT<br />
and Eagle Global Logistics.<br />
As a major transport and freight company dealing with<br />
high-value consignments and operating in sensitive<br />
sectors, CEVA required a surveillance system that<br />
offered quick, accurate retrieval, flexible recording<br />
options and remote monitoring of multiple sites. There<br />
was a need for optimization of bandwidth usage while<br />
still maintaining image clarity. Failover/redundancy was<br />
vital given the homeland security implications of the<br />
international freight sector.<br />
Each CEVA location presented different security<br />
challenges in terms of site layout and working practices<br />
with regard to access control. CEVA wanted all sites in<br />
the United States to be monitored centrally at<br />
operational hubs in Miami, Houston and Dallas, where<br />
30_issue 29<br />
system failure or image distortion for surveillance<br />
products, so choosing reliable cameras with hightemperature<br />
resistance was a critical concern in terms<br />
of outdoor surveillance.<br />
Solution Hikvision’s cameras were selected for<br />
installation throughout the hotel.<br />
Inside the hotel, Hikvision’s vandal proof color cameras<br />
-- DS-2CC572P-IMB -- were installed to protect the<br />
guests’ safety and property. These products acquire<br />
clear video with a horizontal resolution of 540 TVL as<br />
well as being vandal proof with high impact-protection<br />
to avoid intentional damage. These cameras are an<br />
effective deterrent for thieves and intruders. In the<br />
event of theft or if guests take the wrong luggage by<br />
mistake, the video footage can help security staff<br />
settle any problems. In addition, the cameras can<br />
supervise waiters or waitresses in their restaurant and<br />
encourage them to provide good service to guests.<br />
The perimeter of the hotel was secured by Hikvision’s<br />
color cameras and high speed domes. These cameras<br />
mainly monitor the on-site status of the parking lots<br />
and driveways. <strong>IP</strong>66 standard is supported to ensure<br />
the outdoor cameras to work stably in a wide<br />
temperature range (-30°C ~ 60°C). Featuring day/night<br />
auto switch with the resolution of 540TVL, these<br />
cameras can acquire clear images 24/7.<br />
“The incidence of car theft and damage has been<br />
decreased by using Hikvision’s cameras, and issues on<br />
the driveway such as traffic jams or accidents can be<br />
solved in a more timely manner,” said Sachin<br />
Srinivasan, Chief Sales Manager of OHI Electronics, the<br />
integrator of this project.<br />
All the video footage is recorded locally on Hikvision<br />
hybrid DVRs. Supporting 8 SATA hard drives with each<br />
up to 2 TB, the hybrid DVR allows video data storage<br />
for over 40 days. The user-friendly GUI comes with a<br />
Windows-style interface and easily allows security staff<br />
to operate the system. Boasting a seamless joining of<br />
analog and <strong>IP</strong> solution, the hybrid DVRs can make it<br />
possible for Aitken Spence Hotels Group to upgrade<br />
the existing analog surveillance system to be a hybrid<br />
one in case the security need arises.<br />
“The proper use of our products in Ruwi Hotel has<br />
proven to be a great success, which will motivate us to<br />
serve more customers in this field,” said Maxwell Wei,<br />
General Manager of Middle East Branch of Hikvision.<br />
Hikvision Secures Logistics Company<br />
managers required real-time video feeds on virtual<br />
matrix walls from an intuitive management platform.<br />
Solution Hikvision’s partner on this project is Unisight<br />
Digital Technologies, Inc. The company, based in<br />
Centennial City, Colorado, has supplied the CEVA<br />
premises with custom built PC-based recorders using<br />
Hikvision dual-stream compression cards from the HCI<br />
series to encode footage generated by the analogue<br />
cameras.<br />
These 16-channel H.264 (MPEG-4/Part10) units provide<br />
real-time compression. Depending on the model<br />
chosen, display resolution can be up to 4CIF at full<br />
frame rate. There are options for motion detection<br />
triggering and real-time audio compression in the opensource<br />
Ogg Vorbis format. The recording solution at the<br />
CEVA sites is part of the Unisight Enterprise (ENT)<br />
surveillance solution which is designed and customized<br />
for large-scale centralized monitoring systems.<br />
The Hikvision units can be 4, 8 or 16-channel variants<br />
and they use a PCI.2.2 standard bus. In the application<br />
described here the cards are being used from a<br />
Windows platform but they can also operate out of<br />
Linux. The cards support MASK overlay. A benefit of the<br />
4CIF (704 x 576 pixel) resolution is ‘Smart Search’ by<br />
which the Unisight platform allows operatives to define<br />
or ‘marquee’ an area and look for suspicious incidents<br />
without needing to assess the overall view. Even with a<br />
selected portion of the image, fine detail allows close<br />
scrutiny of driver and visitor behaviour.<br />
Mr Arie Hornreich, VP Sales/Business Development at<br />
Unisight, said: “This is one of our most intricate<br />
installations to date due to the sheer number of sites.<br />
CEVA is benefiting from functionality within the<br />
Hikvision compression cards that allows dual<br />
transmission and multiple bitrate. Where appropriate we<br />
are able to record at one resolution level and transmit<br />
at another, so making optimum use of bandwidth.”<br />
Mr Hornreich continued: “Many manufacturers promise<br />
you 30 fps at 4CIF but this is not always possible in the<br />
field under tough operating conditions. But with<br />
Hikvision these levels are achievable. We get the<br />
encoding we need and failure rate of the units is<br />
minimal to none. The compression cards are allowing us<br />
to be more creative with our PC assemblies and they<br />
contribute to the scalability and stability of the Unisight<br />
offering.”<br />
Any logistics company selecting a video surveillance<br />
system is likely to demand an intuitive head-end that<br />
makes reviewing footage a simple operation. Using the<br />
H.264 encoding algorithm provided by Hikvision,<br />
Unisight has implemented instant playback for the<br />
client. The solution is the result of close co-operation<br />
between Unisight developers and CEVA’s loss prevention<br />
and safety personnel. It is providing real-time central<br />
monitoring video feeds as well as facilitating analysis of<br />
unusual incidents and provision of footage to outside<br />
agencies including law enforcement bodies.

On-the-Record; Phil Hutton<br />
<strong>IP</strong> Specialist - Tyco Security<br />
Products<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 <strong>IP</strong> networked Surveillance & Security Technology developing in<br />
the short and long term?<br />
A. The current drive to <strong>IP</strong> is motivated by gains, resolution with megapixel or near<br />
megapixel products, however as the other benefits of an <strong>IP</strong> solution are<br />
realised and the total cost of ownership considered rather than comparing<br />
individual component prices then <strong>IP</strong> solutions will become the norm.<br />
Q. Where is Tyco Security Products placed in the market?<br />
A. Tyco Security Products are well placed with multiple offerings in <strong>IP</strong> access<br />
control and <strong>IP</strong> video and have not forgotten existing analogue sites, providing<br />
hybrid solutions to allow phased adoption of <strong>IP</strong>.<br />
Q. What new plans does Tyco Security Products have to help the Industry to make<br />
the jump and grow their businesses in the future?<br />
A. Tyco Security Products have introduced pure <strong>IP</strong> products and hybrid products<br />
to cater for existing and new site and continue to develop advanced features<br />
into analogue products for continuity with existing sites. Added to that a new<br />
Tyco Security Products unified client front end operator control application<br />
ensures simple operability across multiple products, diciplines and technlogies.<br />
Q. How can traditional Security providers win contracts against IT integrators?<br />
What is the best piece of advice you could give?<br />
A. Whilst IT integrators are getting involved, their expertise does not currently<br />
include security products, but they are learning. I would recommend security<br />
installers make it a prioity to learn more about IT and networks to keep them<br />
at the fore with security installations. In addition security installers need to<br />
take on board traditional IT products like switches and routers and be able to<br />
handle them like other products in their range, set up purchasing routes etc to<br />
keep their offerings competitive. Once on board, this opens other markets to<br />
the traditional security installer, like VO<strong>IP</strong>, hospitality network access and so on<br />
to grow their business.<br />
Q. How does Tyco Security Products regard the general UK installer, consultants<br />
and service provider’s knowledge level?<br />
A. Some are already way in advance of others, we are all on a learning curve,<br />
early pioneers have got on board quickly and advanced rapidly, many are still<br />
to get on board fully. Its worth remembering the old saying “in the land of the<br />
blind, the one eyed man is king!”<br />
Q. Do installers and consultants respond well to technical and commercial training<br />
or are they slow?<br />
32_issue 29<br />
On-the-Record<br />
A. In general yes very well, there is a definite buzz about wanting to learn<br />
now whereas even a couple of years ago it was perhaps seen as more of<br />
a fad!<br />
Q. Is there a type of Security company which will never use <strong>IP</strong>?<br />
A. I would say yes, just like there were companies that didn’t see the point<br />
of switching from tube to chip cameras! Eventually the market will<br />
demand more than analogue only can supply, plus as most<br />
manufacturers spend the bulk of their development budgets on <strong>IP</strong><br />
technologies, analogue will slow or cease to develop especially as<br />
analogue sales continue to dwindle in favour of <strong>IP</strong>.<br />
Q. Are companies leaving <strong>IP</strong> to the ‘young geeks in the office’?<br />
A. I don’t think this is happening, it is in all of our interests that technology<br />
is embraced and systems developed with it, however there are always the<br />
lucky smart young people that were taught <strong>IP</strong> in school and its now<br />
embedded in them as the only sensible solution, these people often drive<br />
the skills learning process.<br />
Q. How does Tyco Security Products regard their dealings with traditional<br />
installers as opposed to IT integrators?<br />
A. Tyco Security Products are continuing to develop conventional analogue<br />
products to support analogue installations and integrators and at the<br />
same time introduce hybrid systems to assist with <strong>IP</strong> migration. Training<br />
and support is offered to all our customers in all products as equally<br />
important.<br />
Q. Will large IT managed service providers win-out over traditional security<br />
providers?<br />
A. I don’t think so, there will be some clients that will see advantages in<br />
managed or virtualised services, however there will still be a strong<br />
desire to hold evidence where it is needed at client sites where it can be<br />
accessed and copied and given to authorities rather than in a cloud<br />
somewhere!<br />
Q. Do those engaging with <strong>IP</strong> need a particular mindset?<br />
A. No more than they would have for other security systems, generally it’s a<br />
logical approach if a little more open ended.<br />
Q. Does Tyco Security Products support the idea of independent consultants<br />
representing end-users?
A. yes very much so particuallry on the larger scale projects which need high<br />
degree of technical input, understanding and project management. The<br />
sevices of a well qualified consultant are invaluable to help the client select<br />
the best system for their current and future needs and deliver the best<br />
result.<br />
Q. Are <strong>IP</strong>-trained engineers now demanding higher rates for their wider<br />
security/<strong>IP</strong> skills?<br />
A. You would expect this to be the case no matter what skills are learned, the<br />
better skilled and experienced a person is the more value they are to the<br />
company.<br />
Q. Where does the UK and Europe sit with <strong>IP</strong> in regards to Europe and the rest<br />
of the world?<br />
A. The biggest shift to <strong>IP</strong> has occurred recently in the UK when compared to<br />
Europe, however the acceptance of <strong>IP</strong> compared to USA has been slow<br />
where <strong>IP</strong> is now the norm.<br />
Q. How does the UK surveillance sector compare to those in other countries (a)<br />
in their general skills level and (b) in their commercial attitude to <strong>IP</strong>?<br />
A. The UK is very similar to the rest of Europe in all respects, there are more<br />
radio based technology used outside the UK, this lends itself well to <strong>IP</strong>.<br />
Q. Is the UK CCTV, Access Control and Alarm market too mature for wholesale<br />
<strong>IP</strong> penetration?<br />
A. <strong>IP</strong> offers the client or the installer advantages these will be driven in, at the<br />
same time if conventional development slows, the move will be to <strong>IP</strong>.<br />
Q. What other countries are big potential areas for <strong>IP</strong>?<br />
A. The whole world can gain be accepting <strong>IP</strong> technology.<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. The retrofit market place is far larger than new build market, especially in<br />
recent times, so it will follow that hybrid and add on systems will be in<br />
bigger demand than pure new <strong>IP</strong> only installations.<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. The <strong>IP</strong> migration of <strong>IP</strong> is all ready well on the way, intruder will follow albeit<br />
more slowly.<br />
Q. Do you see emerging Technologies such as RFiD and asset management<br />
providing opportunities for Installer/integrators?<br />
A. Yes, once RFiD is a real option and tags are reliably readable at good<br />
distances and of a useful size.<br />
Q. Do you see the IT industry taking a closer look at Security and Safety as the<br />
next killer application?<br />
A. There are already many IT companies interested in Security – Cisco and IBM<br />
for example.<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 />
<strong><strong>IP</strong>focus</strong><br />
A. As mentioned earlier, there will be some uptake, but not wholesale,<br />
especially not in CCTV.<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> User Group and <strong>IP</strong> Focus offer much in keeping information flowing<br />
and available to all, either as written text or in open forums. An additional<br />
idea could be to hold charged ticketed events such as seminars where <strong>IP</strong><br />
experts are employed to deliver seminars / awareness / training workshops<br />
where installation companies could at resonable cost attend to learn more<br />
about a particular aspect. Exhibitors appropriate to the session could<br />
sponsor the event and exhibit their wares to show the products the lecturer<br />
presents.<br />
Biography<br />
Phil joined Tyco Security Products in January 2011, he brings with him a wealth<br />
of experience gained over nearly 30 years in the security industry.<br />
Like many in the industry Phil started on the tools as an engineer with<br />
companies like Security Centres, and Modern Alarms (those of who are old<br />
enough may remember them!)<br />
Having progressed in engineering then into sales as a Surveyor at Modern<br />
Alarms, Phil moved to Thorn Security (then called AFA just changing to Thorn<br />
EMI Protech). Here he gained much experience in larger scale security projects<br />
including massive integrated systems for a well know high street building<br />
Society, several shopping centres and large industrial sites.<br />
After a brief excursion to the public address industry Phil specialised in CCTV<br />
with manufacturing companies like Vicon, Baxall and Maxpro, which was taken<br />
over by Ultrak and latterly Honeywell. Phil gained a large portfolio of<br />
integrated systems projects in many markets including town centres, social<br />
housing, shopping centres, industrial, nuclear, financial sector HQs and large<br />
scale distributed systems over multiple media networks.<br />
With much CCTV and integration experience Phil spent the last two and a half<br />
years working for a specialist <strong>IP</strong> products manufacturer Veracity to develop<br />
sales of their own large scale data storage product and LAN connectivity<br />
devices along with a range of video recording devices from a Far East<br />
manufacturer.<br />
Phil comes to Tyco Security Products with much integrated security systems<br />
experience a strong CCTV bias in both analogue and digital environments.<br />

learning, feasting and communicating together.<br />
With the sun shining on<br />
Biscayne Bay and warm<br />
temps as a backdrop, the<br />
January 25, 2011, event got<br />
underway with Gary Slavin,<br />
consultant, speaker, trainer<br />
and author, eager to share<br />
his views on how physical<br />
security and IT<br />
professionals should work together with the client<br />
to ensure a system that meets everyone’s needs.<br />
Slavin suggests that a structured plan is necessary<br />
and he outlines the five phases to achieving it.<br />
Keeping up with the speed<br />
of innovation is a<br />
somewhat daunting task in<br />
the <strong>IP</strong> world. Open<br />
Platforms are an option<br />
bringing broader<br />
integration, according to<br />
Matt Dorey, southeastern<br />
sales manager, Milestone<br />
Systems. It is important for the customer to decide<br />
the components, he tells the audience. An open<br />
platform creates best of breed solutions, flexibility<br />
to integrate future technology innovation and<br />
protects the investment.<br />
Another practice brought<br />
over from the IT space is<br />
presented by Charles Foley,<br />
CEO TimeSight Systems,<br />
who discusses how to<br />
handle all the data<br />
associated with video<br />
surveillance. Foley<br />
proposes a new way of<br />

Attendees at <strong>IP</strong>-in-Action<br />
LIVE were turned on to a<br />
robust vertical market,<br />
Distributed Retail, which<br />
represents typically large<br />
numbers of analog cameras<br />
in current locations.<br />
According to Tim Frederick,<br />
director of engineering,<br />
3VR, the retail market is<br />
moving to <strong>IP</strong>. Frederick describes the market as<br />
hundreds thousands of locations spread out over a<br />
wide geographical area with ten to twenty cameras<br />
each and users of varying skill and permission<br />
levels. For Distributed Retail clients, <strong>IP</strong> is an<br />
extensive tool for remote monitoring management,<br />
allowing multiple sites to be viewed and reviewed.<br />
Small stores never visited because onsite visits are<br />
expensive can now be up, live every day. There is<br />
also the potential for a retail client to use the<br />
technology to improve business operations for<br />
additional return on investment (ROI).<br />

Basler Presents New <strong>IP</strong><br />
Dome Cameras with Audio<br />
Functionality<br />
Basler's new <strong>IP</strong> Fixed Dome<br />
Camera models are<br />
equipped with a two-way audio function and with a new<br />
multimedia video processor. With the integration of<br />
audio functionality, both a microphone for audio<br />
recording and speakers as part of a public address<br />
system can be connected to the camera. When this<br />
feature is used, Basler's <strong>IP</strong> Fixed Dome Cameras cover<br />
an even wider area of surveillance than the camera's<br />
field of view. The B<strong>IP</strong>2-D1000c-dn camera and the B<strong>IP</strong>2-<br />
D1300c-dn high definition model with a resolution of 1.3<br />
megapixels, provide real-time video at frame rates of up<br />
to 30 fps with MJPEG, MPEG-4, and H.264 compression.<br />
In addition, Basler <strong>IP</strong> Fixed Dome Cameras offer a choice<br />
of two different H.264 compression profiles, one of<br />
which is the High Profile (up to level 5) - the same<br />
standard used in Blu-ray technology.<br />

BriefCam Revamps Video Surveillance<br />
Just because a crime is caught on camera doesn't<br />
mean the criminal will also be caught. BriefCam hopes<br />
to change that with a new computer program, called<br />
video synopsis, which automatically analyzes<br />
surveillance video and picks out the relevant action<br />
from countless hours of video. Video synopsis<br />
identifies moving objects--their start time, end time,<br />
location--isolates them, and then repacks them in a<br />
condensed video where all objects that passed in<br />
front of the camera are shifted in time and seen<br />
almost simultaneously. The user can click on any<br />
object and be taken directly to the original footage<br />
where the suspicious or desired event occurred.<br />

SureView Immix<br />
integral to Unipart<br />
Monitoring Centre<br />
Unipart Security Solutions Ltd, new Monitoring<br />
and Response Centre in Oxford was officially<br />
opened by Jeff Little OBE, Chief Executive of the<br />
National Security Inspectorate (NSI) at a<br />
ceremony which took place on 1st March, 2011.<br />
“Today is a visible declaration that Unipart<br />
Security has set the highest standards of<br />
operation,” said Jeff Little. “Early discussions<br />
with the NSI ensured that this ARC/ RVRC was<br />
designed and built from the start with the<br />
standards in mind. The physical construction and<br />
meeting the requirements of BS 5979 CAT II was<br />
just one part of the equation. Achieving the<br />
additional requirements of the BS 8418 standard<br />
for detector activated remotely monitored CCTV<br />
systems also took a great deal of effort and I<br />
congratulate the Unipart team for all their hard<br />
work.”<br />
In addition to intruder, fire and CCTV system<br />
monitoring, the new NSI Gold Category II Alarm<br />
Receiving Centre (ARC) and Remote Video<br />
Response Centre (RVRC) accredited facility is<br />
able to provide a wide range of other monitoring<br />
services including asset and vehicle tracking,<br />
lone worker protection, manned security<br />
management and a 24 hour support desk.<br />
“Unipart security was the first company in the<br />
UK to attain both the National Security<br />
Inspectorate’s ‘Guarding Gold Award’ and the<br />
security industry authority’s ‘Approved<br />
Contractor Scheme’ award, using the NSI<br />
passport route,” said Jeff Little. “Together with<br />
NSI Gold accreditation of this superb new<br />
Monitoring & Response Centre, this puts Unipart<br />
in the very top tier of the industry.”<br />

Is your Head in the ‘Cloud’?<br />
Symantec offers solution to concerns<br />
over security issues<br />
Security - How secure is this pink fluffy<br />
stuff anyway?<br />
Security is always a key consideration and as such,<br />
the relative security of ‘cloud’ computing services is<br />
a traditionally contentious issue.<br />
Some argue that customer data is more secure when<br />
managed internally, while others argue that ‘cloud’<br />
providers have a strong incentive to maintain trust<br />
and as such employ a higher level of security. Some<br />
‘Cloud’suppliers, do carry security and privacy<br />
concerns.<br />
Data in the ‘cloud’ is typically in a shared<br />
environment alongside data from other customers.<br />
You need to gain evidence that data is appropriately<br />
secured and that this a fundamental aspect of the<br />
design and doesn’t carry additional cost or negatively<br />
impact the use of the solution.<br />
Suppliers’ understanding of inappropriate or illegal<br />
activity also needs to be addressed and provided.<br />
Customers must demand transparency, avoiding<br />
suppliers that refuse to provide detailed targets on all<br />
service elements and their performance against<br />
those targets.<br />
It’s important to note that the business risk extends<br />
beyond a specific application being provided over the<br />
‘cloud’. The increase in use of ‘cloud’ based services,<br />
such as salesforce.com means that many mobile IT<br />
users will be accessing business data and services<br />
without necessarily accessing the corporate network<br />
itself. This will increase the need for companies to<br />
place security controls between mobile users and<br />
‘cloud’ based services.<br />
Traditional security requirements can protect inhouse<br />
application and data environments, this must<br />
be complemented by ‘cloud’ enabled security services<br />
that need to enforce that all remote<br />
connectionsfollow the same level of protection.<br />
Many organisations also utilise social media<br />
applications such as Twitter, Facebook, Linked-in etc.<br />
in addition to the more formal ‘cloud’ applications.<br />
This starts to blur the boundaries between corporate<br />
and personal data. Its more than just data however,<br />
security can be undermined simply by perhaps a<br />
senior exec. bringing in their own iPad and expecting<br />
it to work on the corporate network.<br />
So do businesses face a difficult choice? Can they<br />
achieve good security and higher productivity,<br />
efficiency and convenience or is it a balancing act?<br />
Interestingly ‘cloud’ computing itself enables security<br />
controls and functions to be delivered in new ways<br />
and by new types of service providers. It also enables<br />
companies to use security technologies and<br />
techniques that perhaps previously have not been<br />
cost-effective. Organisations can struggle to justify<br />
the expense of security controls or functions that are<br />
needed to respond to unanticipated or infrequent<br />
events. ‘Cloud’ computing, however, can make these<br />
types of services available at short notice, while<br />
streamlining provision at a scale appropriate to<br />
address the threat.<br />
So now what - where do you start?<br />
Cloud-based services certainly can be very attractive<br />
to an organisation. The likelihood is that your<br />
company or certainly some of the staff are already<br />
taking advantage to some degree. However, as you<br />
assess the economics and risk associated with these<br />
services, perhaps one of the first to invest in is ‘cloud’<br />
based security services that can fully integrate with<br />
your existing environment. As well as providing the<br />
building blocks for any IT enhancement program,<br />
their ‘back-office’ nature means that they can be<br />
implemented quickly with minimal impact on end<br />
users. Like any ‘cloud’ based application the security<br />
provider must offer the service levels that you<br />
require both today and as your business grows. The<br />
common hybrid deployment of the ‘cloud’ means that<br />
a security provider that can almost cover your whole<br />
organisation like a flexible bubble that transitions as<br />
your company transitions makes the most sense.<br />
Security really is fundamental to every other ‘cloud’based<br />
solution that you consider.<br />

infrastructure, such as CCTV cameras, personal surveillance and IT<br />
equipment, and works with a wide range of third party hardware.<br />
