The eBook, can be downloaded now from the Idis website.\n\nThe manufacturer believes that in recent years, the terms \u2018intelligent\u2019 and \u2018artificial intelligence (AI)\u2019 have been applied to many different types of security system, but without agreement on what AI means. It states that this makes it important to understand that not all solutions are designed to the same standard or deliver equal value.\n\nThe new eBook explains some of the differences between conventional \u2018blob\u2019 analytics - found in most modern network cameras and relatively prone to false-alarm triggers caused by environmental factors - and more powerful deep learning technologies. These newest generation AI solutions leverage neural networks made up of multiple layers of algorithms and advanced processing, and can be more accurately called \u2018intelligent\u2019 video analytics.\n\nDeep learning\u2019s real value comes from its ability to detect events of interest and distinguish these from video data input which is just \u2018noise\u2019. But the manufacturer warns that caution is still needed: deep learning video solutions can still disappoint if the engines and algorithms that drive them are not fully trained and able to recognise objects reliably and accurately.\n\nBy contrast, Idis states that effective deep learning video analytics can deliver multiple benefits, from preventing \u2018alarm overload\u2019 in busy security control rooms, to freeing up personnel resources and enabling security provision to be better focused. Metadata search functions also allow users to benefit from advanced interrogation of single and multiple cameras, speeding up investigations and automatically locating objects or people of interest.\n\nThe eBook also outlines how AI video can support efficient return-to-work strategies and ensure Covid-secure facilities and workplaces using analytics for face mask detection, social distancing adherence, people counting and occupancy monitoring. Guidance is also provided for systems integrators, demonstrating how the same functionality will deliver value beyond the pandemic, with benefits such as facilities and workspace optimisation, and actionable insights particularly for the retail and hospitality sectors.\n\n\u201cThe best AI offerings today add value for customers by rapidly increasing productivity and efficiency, and providing useful business intelligence,\u201d said James Min, Managing Director, Idis Europe. \u201cThis new eBook explains how systems integrators can get past the jargon to support end-users, building a compelling business case that both addresses immediate priorities and demonstrates long term return on investment.\u201d\n\nTo access the eBook click here<\/a>.\n\nwww.idisglobal.com<\/a>","post_title":"Idis eBook makes the case for deep learning tech","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"idis-ebook-makes-the-case-for-deep-learning-tech","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-03-04 12:40:12","post_modified_gmt":"2021-03-04 12:40:12","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=5160","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":5063,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-02-25 10:31:00","post_date_gmt":"2021-02-25 10:31:00","post_content":"According to Panasonic i-Pro Sensing Solutions Corporation of America, the addition of intelligent analytics continues to drive a shift in emphasis from conventional surveillance and security monitoring operations to proactive predictive analysis and business intelligence applications that further leverage the versatility of i-Pro system solutions.\n\n\u201cNew AI solutions provide the means to leverage organisations\u2019 current investments in technology to further protect people, property and assets from new and emerging threats,\u201d said Bill Brennan, President, Panasonic i-Pro. \u201cAt the same time, these very same AI solutions enable users to go beyond traditional security to deliver insights and intelligence enabling them to improve their business operations.\u201d\n\nWhile artificial intelligence offers the power to drive a vast array of analytics solutions, many of the newest technology developments have been driven by the security and health safety challenges faced by businesses, organisations and government agencies. Privacy concerns around facial recognition, detection and identification of individuals not complying with face mask mandates, and detecting when an individual has an elevated body temperature are among the many areas of focus for i-Pro AI solutions.\n\ni-Pro FacePRO facial recognition analytics employ AI and deep learning to recognise and authenticate the identity of an individual. The software can reportedly identify a person even if their face is partially covered, if they are at an obscure camera angle or if they have aged - even over a significant number of years. Panasonic i-Pro also offers new extension software for its AI network cameras to detect if an individual is not wearing a mask. This is a critical feature for facilities and businesses that require masks to be worn upon entry, and in many cases is mandated by local or regional law.\n\nThe advent of facial recognition has created more awareness around concern for the privacy of innocent individuals captured on video used for investigations and as evidence in public hearings or trials. To help protect an individual\u2019s privacy, Panasonic i-Pro offers an AI-assisted redaction plug-in for the Video Insight video management system (VMS). This software enables automatic redaction of faces on video, which saves hours of time for security personnel and law enforcement agencies, schools, municipalities, correction facilities and others in responding to FOIA or FERPA requests.\n\nThrough a partnership with Mobotix, i-Pro is now offering a new thermal camera solution to help organisations maintain the health safety of those entering their facilities. This solution combines Mobotix M16\/S16 cameras with a new plug-in from Panasonic i-Pro's Video Insight video management system to automatically detect when an individual's body temperature exceeds a pre-set threshold and provides an alert to the appropriate personnel. This new solution offers businesses, schools, retail stores and other public facilities another tool to keep their staff and guests safe.\n\nPanasonic i-Pro offers AI-VMD extension software for a wide range of the company's AI network cameras. I-VMD provides multiple modes to detect intruders, loitering, the direction of an object's movement, if an individual has crossed a predetermined line, suspicious objects left behind, scene change if a camera is moved or covered, people counting, heat-mapping and moving object remover to remove people from images and only show the background scene.\n\nNew sensor technologies and solutions can provide a wealth of data, effectively increasing situational awareness through autonomous detection. Through integration with the open platform, Panasonic i-Pro Video Insight VMS and MonitorCast access control, and intelligent Panasonic i-Pro AI cameras, security professionals can benefit from audio analytics that detect screams, gunshots, explosions and glass breaking, along with environmental sensors that detect noxious fumes and gasses, smoke and vibrations from explosions or earthquakes and more.\n\n\u201cThis is the future of systems technology as physical security continues to converge with and deliver business intelligence,\u201d said Brennan. \u201cPanasonic i-Pro will continue to support the development and integration of new AI-driven solutions to provide our customers around the world with the most advanced systems technology available.\u201d\n\nwww.i-Pro.com<\/a>","post_title":"i-Pro highlights role of AI security systems in business intelligence","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"i-pro-highlights-role-of-ai-security-systems-in-business-intelligence","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-01-23 10:42:19","post_modified_gmt":"2023-01-23 10:42:19","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=5063","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4968,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-02-18 15:05:57","post_date_gmt":"2021-02-18 15:05:57","post_content":"Armis and Viakoo have formed a partnership that brings together IoT device discovery and remediation.

The S&ST IoT platform and network of cameras is integrated into the ArenA\u2019s dashboard software to provide information and analysis for safety and security as well optimisation of stadium operations and visitor engagement.\n\n\u201cEvery technology selected for our innovation environment is strategic because of the potential benefits not only to our ArenA, but to the City of Amsterdam and other stadiums and large event venues seeking technological solutions to help to re-open safely and operate their facility more intelligently,\u201d said Sander van Stiphout, Director International, Johan Cruijff ArenA. \u201cThe unique flexibility of the Security & Safety Things approach enables us to simultaneously deploy Covid-19 health and safety analytics along with business optimization tools and easily re-equip the cameras with other analytic applications as our needs change.\u201d\n\nA series of smart cameras on the S&ST IoT platform have been installed in key areas throughout the stadium and use specialised, AI-enabled video analytic applications from the S&ST Application Store that run directly on each camera. When the stadium reopens, crowd detection analytics will monitor social distancing compliance and visitor flow around entrances and food or merchandise kiosks. License plate recognition cameras will assist with real time occupancy monitoring for parking and traffic flow optimisation. Queue detection applications can be employed to reduce visitor wait times by directing fans to less busy areas and by providing the insights required to optimise staffing levels at peak times. In one specific area, a camera also provides the ability for visitors to provide feedback about their stadium experience in an anonymous and contact-free way by detecting the visual of a \u2018thumbs-up\u2019 or \u2018thumbs-down\u2019 from a visitor, collecting only the rating without disrupting people flow.\n\n\u201cThe flexibility of our smart camera platform and the ArenA\u2019s mission of innovation are very well matched to produce the intelligence necessary to address real world issues of privacy, health and safety but also new and creative ideas for stadium and event management,\u201d said Hartmut Schaper, chief executive officer, Security & Safety Things. \u201cWe\u2019re honoured to be joining the ArenA as an innovation partner and to help them provide a seamless and safe visitor experience.\u201d\n\nThe camera system and how it is used complies with all European and Dutch privacy regulations. Furthermore, there are various advantages to this camera system when it comes to privacy. These cameras are equipped with powerful processors that analyse the images directly on the camera, reducing the need for a constant video stream to be passed on to a central location, where it can be monitored or further processed. Instead, the cameras can be configured to send only the information about relevant events such as when a long queue is forming, groups of people gather too closely, or individuals are not wearing face coverings as required. Only then will respective images be passed along. This reduces the processing of visitors\u2019 personal information to an absolute minimum as opposed to a traditional set-up where all footage is transmitted and centrally processed at all times.\n\nwww.securityandsafetythings.com<\/a>\n\n ","post_title":"Johan Cruijff ArenA partners with Security & Safety Things","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"johan-cruijff-arena-partners-with-security-safety-things","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-17 14:21:44","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-17 14:21:44","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4945","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4810,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-02-03 15:16:33","post_date_gmt":"2021-02-03 15:16:33","post_content":"Dahua Technology UK and Ireland has created a feature-rich virtual experience dubbed the Virtual Innovation Centre as a way to counter the continued absence of face-to-face trade events during the pandemic.\n\nThe innovation centre features immersive virtual reality, where visitors are able to walk through a pavilion and see Dahua\u2019s latest product and technology innovations.

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.

The most important aspect of this for security professionals is the new equipment for smart homes. With everything from the latest IoT cameras to networking gear, there are plenty of new solutions to discover.\n\nKonka has announced its entry into the smart security market at CES. Known for its smart TVs, the manufacturer has broadened its portfolio with a range of smart home technology. The security side is addressed with two video doorbells and a pair of smart cameras. Standard features found in all four models are 1080p full HD, night vision, motion detection, live view, two-way communication (with mic, speaker and audio noise cancelation), 128-bit AES encryption, multiple video playback options including an SD card slot and they are all water resistant. In addition, with the new CameraView App, users can view the feed from a Konka video doorbell or smart camera on a Konka Android TV.\n\nA different kind of entry to the smart home security market is a range of whole home smart water products from Moen. Designed to protect a home from water damage, the company is highlighting its U smart faucet, Flo smart water security system and new smart sump pump monitor as well as shutoff and detection systems. The manufacturer is pointing to water damage being five times more common than theft as a reason for integrating this kind of solution into a smart security system.\n\nCombining both of these elements is the latest offering from D-Link. The manufacturer is highlighting its latest mydlink AI-enabled home Wi-Fi cameras and sensors, such as the CES Innovation Award Honouree Whole Home Smart Wi-Fi Water Sensor. D-Link states that these products have been designed to keep homes connected and protected without sacrificing privacy.\n\nStaying with award-winning products, the new generation of Shepherd Lock from PassiveBolt is another CES Innovation Award Honouree. Shepherd Lock Gen2 keyless entry technology provides access control based on touch and facial recognition. It allows users to lock and unlock their homes with a touch.\n\nAnother the CES Innovation Award Honouree is Arlo Technologies\u2019 new Arlo Essential Indoor Camera and Touchless Video Doorbell. Featuring an automated privacy shield, the Essential Indoor camera allows users to choose when the camera monitors and records video. When the privacy shield is in disarm mode, recording, motion and audio detection is disabled and won't begin until the shield is opened by the user via the Arlo App. Users can also signal the privacy shield to open automatically and begin recording by starting a live stream or changing the camera to arm mode. Meanwhile, the Touchless Video Doorbell was designed to help guests and delivery personnel limit their interaction with communal points of contact, all while keeping the front entry secure. It uses Proximity Sensing Technology to gauge a visitor's distance. Once detected, the guest hears an audible chime and sees a visible light, signalling the doorbell has been \u2018pressed\u2019 and the homeowner has been alerted \u2013 all before they come into physical contact with the device.\n\nFinally, with access control solutions for everything from pets to groceries unveiled at CES 2021, myQ has hugely expanded its product range. Perhaps the most important for security professionals is myQ Smart Community Access. The LiftMaster Smart Access Control Systems with an integrated camera deliver one-way video calling and two-way voice communication so residents can view and verify their guests\u2019 identities before granting them entry to the building or community. The manufacturer states that LiftMaster's smart community access system provides residents with a modern living experience, while property managers will also benefit from a scalable access management solution that it claims enhances security and reduces liability.\n\nCES is taking place online until January 14th 2021.\n\nwww.ces.tech\u00a0<\/a>","post_title":"The latest in smart home security unveiled at CES 2021","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"the-latest-in-smart-home-security-unveiled-at-ces-2021","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-01-12 11:31:42","post_modified_gmt":"2021-01-12 11:31:42","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4525","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4479,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-07 19:16:24","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-07 19:16:24","post_content":"Ditek Networks has launched a new line of Gigabit Power over Ethernet (PoE+) network switches designed for industrial applications.

The manufacturer states that a precisely definable and adaptable process enables users to evaluate and follow up on incidents with digital tools \u2013 while adhering to the evaluation and data protection regulations. In addition to this, with the Dallmeier Hemisphere Traffic Enforcement Module, local authorities now have the capability to capture traffic violations and file video sequences of the offences efficiently within existing surveillance systems.\n\nThe solution reportedly enables operators to perform these tasks quickly and intuitively, allowing local authorities to optimise the process of investigating and punishing traffic violations. Users can implement the system with both Dallmeier cameras or with third-party systems. The Hemisphere SeMSy components can be operated either on premises or in public cloud environments such as Microsoft Azure, Amazon Web Services (AWS) or Google Cloud Platform.\n\nIf an operator observes a traffic offence, they can start recording the camera live stream immediately. For this purpose, the app features a control centre on a time bar for starting, stopping and cancelling recordings. After a recording has been stopped again, a backup is made automatically and saved to an archive together with a timestamp, the name of the camera and the name of the operator. Recordings can be cancelled if an offence has not taken place. For this, the operator must provide a reason either from a dropdown list or in free text. Depending on the requirements applied to a system, selection options with subsequent text input fields can be configured individually. At the same time, all user actions are logged in full.\n\nBesides the actual recording and saving routines, the system also maps the process for follow-up processing of incidents. First, all recorded offences are listed in the module in a chronological overview. Users can filter and search the list by ID, user, violation code, camera name, vehicle registration number, date and time and processing status. In a processing mode, they can review the items and decide whether a traffic offence has been committed and should be reported. For this purpose, they are then able to access the recording or the offence, additional information or snapshots from the recording, and the exact location of the incident on a map section.\n\nIf an item is not processed further, because it is evident that an offence has not taken place, this must be confirmed with a predefined justification. All offences which are reported must be collected in detail in a log for subsequent investigation and review. The list can be filtered by data and exported to a PDF file.\n\n\u201cMany towns implement video observation systems at busy traffic junctions. With our solution, these systems are given very valuable additional benefits, whereby besides improving safety they also help to relieve the strain on municipal budgets,\u201d stated Dieter Dallmeier, Founder and CEO, Dallmeier electronic. \u201cThe Dallmeier solution enables the operators to secure evidence for traffic offences intuitively and with maximum efficiency with very low training costs. The subsequent evaluation and forwarding process guarantees compliance and data protection, and all processes are logged in detail.\u201d\n\nwww.dallmeier.com<\/a>\n\n ","post_title":"Dallmeier Hemisphere modules provide cost and revenue optimisation tools for local authorities","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"dallmeier-hemisphere-modules-provide-cost-and-revenue-optimisation-tools-for-local-authorities","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2020-12-14 11:17:34","post_modified_gmt":"2020-12-14 11:17:34","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4219","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4152,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2020-12-04 12:25:00","post_date_gmt":"2020-12-04 12:25:00","post_content":"Idemia and O2<\/a> have reached the milestone of supplying secure connectivity to over 4 million UK homes with a second-generation smart meter.

I am working hard to get more residents and businesses involved in supporting these initiatives, because keeping our city safe and clean is a shared responsibility.\u201d<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The RTCC already uses Genetec\u2019s Security Center to manage its citywide public safety improvement initiatives. To help monitor illegal dumping, the RTCC\u2019s IT department also set up an event-to-action rule in the platform to processes motion detection in a defined zone of the camera's field of view. As soon as motion is detected, the system bookmarks it and notifies IT staff so they can evaluate the situation and determine if collection of the debris is warranted. The system also takes a snapshot of the video and emails it to designated personnel on the team so they can identify and investigate any potential dumping perpetrators, and take appropriate action.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n In a recent case, this event-to-action led to the arrest of a repeat offender who had previously been convicted and sentenced for dumping 14,000 tires. All snapshots and video evidence were securely shared with the New Orleans Police Department to enable them to quickly identify the perpetrator and complete their investigation.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u201cWithout this technology, finding these offenders comes down to chance or it could take a police officer hours and hours of investigative work,\u201d added Bill Wood, IT Supervisor at the RTCC. \u201cInstead, it took us minutes to set up the event-to-action in Security Center, and just about two days from the time we were notified about this offender to the time we were able to apprehend him. We love working with the Security Center platform. It's very user friendly and helps us cut down that investigation time exponentially.\u201d<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
