AFR has been designed to improve the safety of people and speed up operational processes. However, the ethics of using this kind of technology needs to be regularly examined and reviewed. Following guidance on responsible use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), BSIA created the guide to explain terms, abbreviations and ethical and legal uses of AFR.\n\n\u201cThis collaborative piece of work among industry experts has produced a guide with advice and recommendations on ethical and legal AFR usage, which will appeal to anyone in or out of the physical security industry,\u201d said Dave Wilkinson, Director of Technical Services at the BSIA who is leading the BSIA\u2019s AFR working group. \u201cIts aim is to ensure it does not cause harm or discriminate against any persons in either a public or private setting.\n\n\u201cThe use of AI is an exponentially growing part of daily life and we must ensure that all stakeholders are aware of the ethical and legal considerations of using these solutions,\u201d he continued. \u201cIf not, this beneficial technology could be misused, leading to loss of trust and increased scepticism of the technology. We want to make sure the general public know that this ethical and legal guidance is out there for companies to follow. Compliance with the law is paramount using this technology, and this guide will provide companies with the basis to demonstrate their commitment to complying with the ethical realities, consequences and impacts of using an AI\/AFR solution.\u201d\n\nThe guide is suitable for both the general public and industry professionals. It presents detailed explanations of how AFR works and reminds readers to consider the responsibilities behind using facial recognition in their security systems. Automated Facial Recognition: A Guide to ethical and legal use is now available on the BSIA website and the working group is looking to further develop this guidance into a Code of Practice or British Standard.\n\nwww.bsia.co.uk<\/a>\n\n ","post_title":"BSIA publishes ethical AFR framework","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"bsia-publishes-ethical-afr-framework","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-01 14:01:55","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-01 14:01:55","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4773","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4763,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-02-01 12:19:50","post_date_gmt":"2021-02-01 12:19:50","post_content":"Geutebr\u00fcck GmbH explains how its technology can help with GDPR compliant intelligent video analytics and software for the optimisation of hygiene procedures in hospitals and forensic institutions.\n\nmedia: istock.com\/Patramansky","post_title":"Geutebr\u00fcck highlights AI technology for hospital admission","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"geutebruck-highlights-ai-technology-for-hospital-admission","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-01 12:19:53","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-01 12:19:53","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4763","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4614,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-19 16:25:11","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-19 16:25:11","post_content":"The Paxton Key app has been upgraded within Paxton10, enabling smart devices to become contactless access tokens and offering a new remote site management functionality.\n\n\u201cWe are delighted to be able to offer Paxton10 users the Paxton Key app update,\u201d said Gareth O\u2019Hara, Paxton\u2019s Chief Sales Officer. \u201cOur Smart Credentials are free with no hidden subscription costs and are sent to your pocket in an instant.

The app boasts an added layer of site security via personal identification and verification. When using the dual authentication process, a Paxton10 system can require a user to present their smart credential and then verify their identity. This works by using the biometric capabilities already available in a user\u2019s device such as fingerprint scanning or facial recognition.\n\n\u201cThe new update to Paxton Key is exciting and truly ground-breaking,\u201d says Thomas Faith, the Senior Product Manager for Paxton10. \u201cIt utilises the latest smart device technology and provides users with seamless access by using background Bluetooth capabilities. This process enhances security by allowing an individual biometric verification, without storing a user\u2019s personal data.\u201d\n\nAlongside the update to the Paxton Key app, Paxton has also released an update to its web based Paxton10 software. The update offers a new remote management functionality allowing an installer to re-boot Paxton hardware, as well as delete and reinstate any database stored locally on the hardware, from anywhere, anytime.\n\nThe update also introduces new video management features. Privacy Masking allows users to screen areas caught on camera that they do not wish to record. Improved image recording with wide dynamic range control reportedly offers more balance between light and dark areas, and users can now manually switch between day and night recording for greater control of infrared light.\n\nwww.paxton-access.com<\/a>","post_title":"Paxton Key app upgraded within Paxton10","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"paxton-key-app-upgraded-within-paxton10","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-01-23 10:27:09","post_modified_gmt":"2023-01-23 10:27:09","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4614","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4589,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-17 10:45:00","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-17 10:45:00","post_content":"Ipsotek has been awarded a security systems project at the Katara Cultural Village in Doha, Qatar, in partnership with Mannai Trading Co, a Qatari based company listed on the Qatar Stock Exchange.

Approved by the American Institute of Architects (AIA), architects can view this one-hour presentation in exchange for one Health, Safety and Welfare Continuing Education Unit (HSW CEU) towards their AIA accreditation.\n\nThe course focuses on the role of security entrances in building design and a physical security strategy, including integration with other security technologies, safety and code requirements, and the impact of pandemics on the entry. It begins by explaining the importance of controlling access to buildings through designs that address securing the entry. Architects learn the risks and associated liabilities that impact an organisation when they fail to put effective measures in place to mitigate unauthorised access at their buildings.\n\nThe presentation also touches on the results of a recent Boon Edam survey that revealed how security professionals perceive the risk, impact and cost of tailgating at buildings. Tailgating occurs when an unauthorised person follows an authorised person into a facility via a swing door and is arguably the biggest physical vulnerability that an organisation currently faces.\n\nThe AIA course continues by classifying security entrances according to their ability to mitigate tailgating, their safety features and how they comply with local codes. There are also discussions around the people and processes necessary to support each type of security entrance and the importance of securing a building in layers for the best overall outcome. Attendees will also see videos that demonstrate the working principles of turnstiles, security revolving doors and mantrap portals as they rebuff tailgating attempts while integrated with third-party access control and biometric devices.\n\nThe course concludes with details surrounding the future of security in building design in a post-pandemic world. Architects will learn tactics that include creating separate entry and exit points across a building based on the types of users and using technologies that support touchless entry and temperature screening.\n\nBoon Edam will be presenting this updated course nationwide via webinar on Tuesday, January 26, 2021 at 3:00pm EST.

Backed by this new system, Schengen Member State Iceland will comply with EU Entry\/Exit System (EU-EES) regulations. The system is set to be operational from 2021 and will manage an average of 10 million travellers per year with manned and automated controls underpinned by biometric technology.\n\nThis new border management system, based on Idemia\u2019s Augmented Borders solution, will be compliant with EU-EES regulations. Idemia will also equip Icelandic border crossing points with its TravelKiosk EU-EES, the latest generation of user-centric multi-biometric border self-service kiosks. Also including automated TraveLane eGates, the entire system will boost throughput and convenience of passengers as they go through border controls. Lastly, to complete this end-to-end solution, the manufacturer will ensure that operator-manned counters, mobile solutions and tracking systems are set up to fit the requirements of the Icelandic Police with a view to shortening response times and improving coordination.\n\n\u201cThe National Commissioner of the Icelandic Police, the Metropolitan Police and Sudurnes District police have from early 2019 been working on the implementation of EES in Iceland in close cooperation with Isavia\u201d said J\u00f3n P\u00e9tur J\u00f3nsson, Chief Superintendent, at the National Commissioner of the Icelandic Police. \u201cThe procurement procedure started in September 2019 and today we have reached an important milestone by selecting Idemia as the supplier and future partner for the implementation of EES in Iceland. The police and Isavia place a high expectation to the collaboration with Idemia in the development of solutions that will improve border security and the traveller experience.\u201d\n\n\u201cIsavia is truly excited about this co-operation with Idemia and the Icelandic Police,\u201d added Gu\u00f0mundur Da\u00f0i R\u00fanarsson, Chief Commercial and Airport Development Officer at Isavia. \u201cThis is an important step in improving the performance and customer experience of the convenient and easy hub connection between Europe and North America. The Entry\/Exit system will affect all airports with traffic crossing external borders. Isavia is confident that implementing Idemia\u2019s self service solutions in co-operation with the border police, will result in a more secure and efficient border crossing point, giving Keflavik the potential to grow even further in its Hub operation.\u201d\n\n\u201cIdemia is proud to accompany Iceland as one of the first countries of the Schengen Area to transform its border control system to comply with the European Entry\/Exit System,\u201d stated Philippe Barreau, Executive Vice President for Public Security and Identity activities at Idemia. \u201cWe are determined to provide a comprehensive set of multi-biometric solutions that will give the assurance of a future-proof programme, making Iceland our innovation partner in the implementation of the EU-EES.
