   The Security Systems and Alarms Inspection Board (SSAIB) have achieved accreditation for BAFE's SP207 scheme for emergency evacuation systems - used by Fire and Rescue services to prioritise evacuation from residential high rise buildings and ensure people at risk in endangered areas can be safely evacuated. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

   The new development from BAFE covers the design, installation, commissioning and maintenance of emergency evacuations systems that will help to provide quality evidence of competency to deliver these services, while also supporting British Standard 8629 Evacuation Alert Systems for use by fire and rescue services in buildings containing flats. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

   \"Developed in response to a recommendation from the Grenfell Tower Phase 1 inquiry report, it is likely to become a requirement that you will need to be third-party certified to work on emergency evacuation systems going forward,\" said Keith Strugnell, SSAIB Fire Scheme Manager. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

   \"However, despite it being a brand new scheme, existing SSAIB-registered SP203-1 firms will find it comparable to their own scheme \u2013 as it utilises a similar format, albeit that the scheme document has been changed to make it more relevant to emergency evacuation systems. Therefore, in theory, you will satisfy the requirements for SP207 by default if you already have SP203-1.\" <\/p>\n\n\n\n

   BAFE announced the scheme in the final quarter of 2020 and Keith went on to reveal that the leading UKAS-accredited certification body for the fire and security industries acted promptly to ensure that the organisation could add SP207 to its existing catalogue of BAFE fire schemes.
   
   Keith continued: \u201cWith regards to SSAIB, we completed training with BS 8629:2019 for our auditors and scheduled several pilot audits for those initial companies to achieve certification for this latest scheme that we provide certification for to the fire industry. We then collated all of the necessary criteria that was needed for our information packs and then we were ready to go.\"
   
   BAFE\u2019s director of schemes, Chris Auger, added: \u201cThe demand shown following the MHCLG consultation is unprecedented and represents a far greater awareness of systems and competency of their installers required following the tragedy of the Grenfell Tower Fire.
   
   \u201cWith the work BAFE have performed in conjunction with the industry and Fire and Rescue Service, we are pleased to offer a route to achieving this important third-party certification. Quality evidence of competency is going to have far greater scrutiny for everyone working in high-rise blocks in the very near future which can only be a good thing. This scheme will fill this crucial gap in providing confidence to specifiers knowing they are fulfilling their due diligence and continuing the \u2018golden thread\u2019 of accountability for the life safety of residents within the building.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

   \u201cThe expanding portfolio of BAFE schemes represents the necessity of quality evidence of competency required for niche, but extremely important, areas of the industry. Third-party certification is going to be a key focus of attention for the built environment moving forward and BAFE need to position itself to offer schemes that are both needed and, reflect the current concerns of occupants, regulators, service providers and building owners\/managers.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

   The Mausoleum of Qin Shihuangdi in the city of Xi\u2019an has been outfitted with a comprehensive intrusion alarm system from Bosch Building Technologies. The Unesco World Heritage Site is home to a 2,000-year-old army of clay statues, the world-famous Terracotta Warriors, guarding the tomb of China\u2019s first emperor. Several hundred TriTech motion detectors are deployed to protect the 16,300-square-foot museum against theft and damage. According to the manufacturer, these detectors prevent costly and time-consuming false alarms under challenging environmental conditions, while providing detection reliability of real alarms. Because of the intrusion detection system, which detects and reports any unauthorised intrusion into the security areas to security personnel in less than two seconds, the museum can dispense entirely with physical protective barriers such as glass walls.<\/p>\n

   \u201cThe cooperation with Bosch is an excellent showcase of modern high-tech protection of historic buildings,\u201d said Ren Xuxin, Project Manager of Xi\u2019an Terracotta Warriors and Horses Pit Security Upgrade Project. \u201cBosch intrusion alarm systems help to upgrade the security level of these unique historic sites.\u201d<\/p>\n

   As wall detectors, the TriTech motion detectors protect the pits where the terracotta warriors are located. Because these pits collect large amounts of dust that could cause false alarms, the intelligent sensor data fusion algorithm in each of the detectors checks potential alarms with PIR sensor and microwave Doppler radar for a consistent result. The area to be protected is also secured from above by ceiling-mounted TriTech motion detectors located 4.8m above the museum floor.<\/p>\n

   In the event of an actual security breach, the Bosch G-Series system controller sends an alert, including the location of the triggered detector, to the security team in the control room, which uses live images from a video system to verify the alarm. In most cases, tourists trigger an alarm when they cross a threshold to retrieve their cameras or smartphones that have accidentally fallen into the pit. In doing so, there is a risk of damage to the priceless terracotta warriors.<\/p>\n

   The TriTech motion detectors provide round-the-clock protection for the museum, which is visited by thousands of people every day. In accordance with the museum operator\u2019s list of requirements, the intrusion detection system protects not only the museum, including the perimeter, as well as the visitor areas of the mausoleum, but additionally the cultural treasures currently stored in the unmanned warehouse.<\/p>\nwww.boschbuildingtechnologies.com<\/a>","post_title":"Bosch intrusion alarm solution protects Chinese terracotta warriors","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"bosch-intrusion-alarm-solution-protects-chinese-terracotta-warriors","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-03-09 11:17:38","post_modified_gmt":"2021-03-09 11:17:38","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=5228","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":5179,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-03-05 09:32:12","post_date_gmt":"2021-03-05 09:32:12","post_content":"Ditek has promoted Wendy Gattis to Chief Executive Officer.

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":4851,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-02-08 16:44:28","post_date_gmt":"2021-02-08 16:44:28","post_content":"Motorola Solutions has added to its video security and analytics portfolio with the Artificial Intelligence Network Video Recorder (AI NVR).

The updated provisions include increased requirements for the EMC-resilience of detectors.\n\nBoth updated standards are mandatory for products that are sold throughout the EU from the end of the transition period on August 31, 2022. That means that all manufacturers should now start with the update of their corresponding external certificates and internal declarations by applying the latest version of EN 54-5 and EN 54-7 to their products. In due course, all manufacturers of heat and smoke detectors will be required to apply to authorised Notified Bodies for a Certificate of Constancy of Performance to the new revisions, enabling them to update their DoPs (Declaration of Performance).\n\nThe majority of CertAlarm partners have been accredited by their national Accreditation Bodies and notified by the EU for testing and certification based on the two harmonised norms and can now fully support manufacturers in obtaining the respective certificates.\n\n\u201cWe want to provide a comprehensive, competitive and time-saving support to manufacturers by offering all relevant testing and certification services as a one-stop solution which is valid throughout Europe,\u201d said Anja Kinsky, General Manager of CertAlarm. \u201cWe\u2019re therefore pleased to announce that we also cover these new certification requirements.\u201d\n\nwww.certalarm.org<\/a>","post_title":"CertAlarm partners accredited new EN 54-5 and 54-7 standards","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"certalarm-partners-accredited-new-en-54-5-and-54-7-standards","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-03 16:06:31","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-03 16:06:31","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4816","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4788,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-02-02 11:52:44","post_date_gmt":"2021-02-02 11:52:44","post_content":"There has been a sharp increase in the necessity for businesses to adopt hosted video surveillance (VSaaS) and access control (ACaaS) solutions according to new research into the impact of Covid-19 on physical security purchasing decisions. While 70% of 1,000 senior decision makers in IT, security, FM and HR roles agree this to be the case, 78% also anticipate their organisations\u2019 use of cloud technologies to increase in the future as a result of Covid-19.\n\nMorphean commissioned the independent survey which revealed that over three-quarters (76%) of senior managers in UK, Germany and Sweden have increased their use of video conferencing (e.g. Microsoft Teams); 65% have increased their use of office applications (e.g. Microsoft 365); and 70% of those in the security sector are now strongly inclined towards cloud adoption.\n\n51% say their company is currently using a cloud-based service for video surveillance (VSaaS) and\/or access control (ACaaS). This is an increase of 3% over 2019 (48%) and broadly reflects projected growth in the physical security market from US$93.5 billion in 2020 to US$120.3 billion by 2025 at a CAGR of 5.2%. The accelerating adoption of hosted solutions is buoyed by its low cost set up, flexible scalability and demand for real-time and remote access to security data.\n\n\u201cThe results highlight a hosted physical security market that will see strong growth in 2021 as cloud applications are proven to deliver business continuity in challenging times,\u201d said Rodrigue Zbinden, CEO of Morphean SA. \u201cAt the height of the lockdown, many business premises were unoccupied and potentially vulnerable, but remote monitoring and maintenance made possible by hosted security were a welcome advantage. We also saw a spike in demand for frictionless access control enabling a totally hands-free experience and negating the need for physical contact. Business leaders will now be considering the learnings from the past year and looking to apply them to boost productivity, streamline costs and make organisations more agile.\u201d\n\nFor security professionals already working with cloud services, the growth in connected digital devices through the IoT is resulting in an increased appetite for physical security, such as network cameras, to enhance existing IT systems and assist business intelligence gathering. The report shows that 95% agree that if an existing security system could deliver insights beyond security to assist decision making (i.e. occupancy or test and trace analytics), it would influence adoption.\n\nMore flexibility in working locations is the benefit respondents are most likely to identify from moving business functions to the cloud (50%), followed by easier collaboration (44%); more cost-effective (44%); safer\/better security (38%). It was found that 82% anticipate the levels\/frequency of remote workers and flexible working in their organisations to be higher post-pandemic and in the longer term than they were pre-pandemic.\n\nSecurity will need to be enhanced to facilitate greater flexibility in worker patterns. An access control solution which is linked to HR records, for example, can check the swipe of an access card against staff records. A staff member who is flagged as being on leave, absent or no longer employed will trigger an automated alert to the relevant personnel. Surveillance cameras also provide secondary authentication through visual clarification of an individual\u2019s identity.\n\n\u201cFor the physical security reseller, the study will demonstrate that hosted security solutions must play a major part in expanding their offering to a wiser customer base,\u201d said Zbinden. \u201cCloud-enabled physical security solutions represent an investment into improving security and operations, a chance to forge new business relationships, and an opportunity to embrace future proof technologies in preparation for whatever challenges the future might hold.\u201d\n\nRead the full report here<\/a>.\n\nwww.morphean.com<\/a>\n\n ","post_title":"Hosted video and access control sees sharp rise during the pandemic","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"hosted-video-and-access-control-sees-sharp-rise-during-the-pandemic","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-02 11:52:46","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-02 11:52:46","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4788","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4735,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-29 14:31:33","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-29 14:31:33","post_content":"Paxton is using online face-to-face training to offer installers the opportunity to understand and implement the latest updates to its flagship access control system Net2, and newest combined access control and video management system, Paxton10.

Now they cannot, and we are back in a national lockdown, so we have made sure there is still the same level of opportunity for installers to continue learning and be guided by Paxton experts.\u201d\n\nThe manufacturer is running live virtual sessions throughout the lockdown period, as well as bespoke virtual training for companies that require online group learning, or a tailored course to help with specific projects they are working on.\n\n\u201cI have worked in training myself in the past and attended many training sessions, both remotely and face-to-face,\u201d said Chris Green, a Security Consultant at TVG Security who took part in one of the virtual classes. \u201cThis was honestly the best I have ever attended. Paxton\u2019s ability to keep an audience engaged for over two hours is unparalleled. I am inspired to attend more sessions.\u201d\n\nThe courses have been designed to show installers how to install and configure Paxton hardware and reportedly offer a different experience from the manufacturer\u2019s webinars that ran throughout 2020. Installers are encouraged to interact with the trainers and other participants. Paxton trainers use a combination of presentation and demonstration, as well as provide the opportunity to get hands-on with Paxton systems using guided software instruction.\n\nAlongside the new face-to-face virtual training programme, Paxton is providing installers with 30 days of free access to the Paxton Learning Portal.\n\nRegister for Net2 or Paxton10 virtual courses here<\/a>.\n\nwww.paxton-access.com<\/a>","post_title":"Paxton offers installers online face-to-face training","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"paxton-offers-installers-online-face-to-face-training","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=4735","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4727,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-29 10:48:58","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-29 10:48:58","post_content":"Siemens Smart Infrastructure has unveiled a compact version of its Cerberus Pace Modular public address voice alarm (PA\/VA) solution. The manufacturer states that Cerberus Pace Modular and Compact offer a comprehensive PA\/VA solution, which can be integrated with fire protection and danger management systems. \n\n\u201cThanks to the Cerberus Pace systems, the user can cover all public and voice alarm needs with a single solution\u201d said Mario Kahlert, Head of Fire Safety at Siemens Smart Infrastructure. \u201cBy sharing the same state of the art technology as the modular system, but addressing small and simple applications, the Cerberus Pace Compact enables extensive customisation and is a cost-efficient solution for customers.\u201d \n\nThe range of potential applications covers any situation which require PA\/VA, including offices, hotels, airports, commercial facilities and educational buildings. As with the Modular system, Cerberus Pace Compact incorporates multiple redundancy levels and is also suitable for step-by-step modernisation of outdated systems. According to the manufacturer, the system\u2019s professional sound quality and low latency enable clear communication, both in emergency situations and for day-to-day announcements or music.\n\nCerberus Pace Compact is available in two versions: Compact 400 and Compact 1000. Wall mounted, despite its comparatively small size, Cerberus Pace Compact offers power of up to 2,000W and an additional backup amplifier and pilot tone amplifier. Cerberus Pace systems are fully compliant with the EN 54-16 standard and local codes of practice in European countries. The systems can cover all redundancy, ensuring there is adequate back-up. To support the safety-first approach, both high performing and reliable systems stand for no single point of failure, thanks to distributed intelligence, where each network participant has a CPU that allows the device to be made independent.\n\nCerberus Pace comes with dedicated configuration software and real-time engineering. The system can be configured live, while it is running, reportedly without causing any interruption to day-to-day activities. No shut down is necessary for maintenance or to change the configuration, with remote access ensuring business continuity, whatever the environment. \n\nCerberus Pace Compact can be combined with the Modular system using the same network and configuration tools to offer a wider choice of ancillary products (for example, amplifiers or audio matrix), while also enabling cost optimisation. In addition, both systems can be used for stepwise modernisations of older voice alarm systems (often using existing cabling), making it possible to futureproof the system to meet changing demands. Different connection options (loop, stub line, double stub lines, and even compatibility with star structures or T-taps) offer greater flexibility during the installation process.\n\nwww.siemens.com\/cerberus-pace<\/a>\n\n ","post_title":"Siemens launches compact PA\/VA solution","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"siemens-launches-compact-pa-va-solution","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-01-29 10:49:01","post_modified_gmt":"2021-01-29 10:49:01","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4727","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4633,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-21 18:40:49","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-21 18:40:49","post_content":"Montana State University-Northern is using Napco Security Technologies products in a school security project.

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":4609,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-19 15:02:03","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-19 15:02:03","post_content":"Simon Wheeler and Neil Bain from Controlled.co.uk discuss how systems integration contracts come to them and how they approach their relationships with clients.","post_title":"SOS Opinion | How Controlled.co.uk secure contracts in systems integration","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"sos-opinion-how-controlled-co-uk-secure-contracts-in-systems-integration","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-01-19 15:02:08","post_modified_gmt":"2021-01-19 15:02:08","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4609","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4597,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-18 12:03:55","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-18 12:03:55","post_content":"Bosch states that its new Autodome IP starlight 5100i offers enhanced image quality and built-in Artificial Intelligence (AI) to help operators react before a potential situation occurs. Designed for outdoor surveillance applications when light levels vary, the Autodome IP starlight 5100i has a new \u00bd inch camera sensor offering 4MP resolution and 20x optical zoom to detect people or objects at a maximum distance up to 1,676m.\n\nThe camera is equipped with advanced motion optimised High Dynamic Range (HDR-X) at 133dB and starlight technology, which the manufacturer states allows the camera to provide \u201cexceptional image quality during daytime and at lower light levels such as dusk and dawn without blurring of moving objects\u201d. The camera is weatherproof with vandal-resistant housing expanding its use to demanding city surveillance situations.\n\nBuilt-in AI, like video analytics, uses metadata to add sense and structure to video footage. Bosch states that this enables cameras to \u201cunderstand what they are seeing and gives customers a smart choice to know what is next\u201d.\n\nThe Autodome IP starlight 5100i camera comes with built-in Essential Video Analytics to deliver actionable insights that help operators react before a possible threat or unwanted situation occurs. This built-in AI captures relevant data for uses such as enforcing traffic regulations, detecting vehicles driving in the wrong direction, and delivering occupancy data, such as the number of vehicles entering and leaving a parking garage for smarter, more efficient parking. When idle, the camera can provide relevant, usable statistics like the number of people entering a specific area, analyse behavior, or assist in enforcing health and safety regulations such as raising awareness of a blocked emergency exit.\n\nHigher resolutions and frame rates, improved dynamic range, and enhanced light sensitivity are essential to capturing images that can distinguish individuals or objects for identification or proof. A unique feature of the Autodome IP starlight 5100i is the new \u00bd inch camera sensor offering 4MP resolution, 20x optical zoom, and durable housing to meet demanding applications, especially outdoors.\n\nThe AUTODOME\u2019s built-in starlight technology and HDR-X technology are described as an \u201cideal combination\u201d for this mid-range moving camera. Starlight technology enables the camera to capture colour detail when light levels drop to nearly zero and maximise low light performance. HDR-X eliminates shadows and balances uneven exposure with a dynamic range of 133dB. Operators can locate a person or object in motion at a distance up to 1,676m and can manually track individuals of interest as they move, regardless of speed, far beyond a fixed camera\u2019s field of view.\n\nAll Bosch video security cameras offer built-in AI as standard and connect to the Bosch cloud for remote maintenance and device management. Systems integrators can work with customers remotely to perform service when they cannot meet face to face.\n\nWith the free Bosch Project Assistant software, systems integrators are supported in the planning, pre-configuration, commissioning and reporting for video security projects without the need to be physically near the cameras. The Bosch Remote Portal offers secure device management, set up and health monitoring via the Bosch cloud from anywhere.\n\nBecause video data is often highly critical and sensitive, Bosch has a systematic approach to maximising data security centered on a built-in Trusted Platform Module to keep video data secure. With remote configuration, management and planning, systems integrators can reduce installation and set-up time and minimise the number of commutes, resulting in sustainable business practices that are economically viable, socially responsible and environmentally friendly.\n\nwww.boschsecurity.com<\/a>","post_title":"Bosch offers built-in AI with Autodome IP starlight 5100i video camera","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"bosch-offers-built-in-ai-with-autodome-ip-starlight-5100i-video-camera","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-01-18 12:04:00","post_modified_gmt":"2021-01-18 12:04:00","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4597","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.

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":4505,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-10 10:46:00","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-10 10:46:00","post_content":"Optex\u2019 range of Intelligent Passive Infrared (PIR) sensors have been deployed by Harper Security Systems to cover three properties in the UK Home Counties and Lincolnshire.

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.

OSDP is an access control communications standard developed by SIA to improve interoperability among access control and security products.\n\nSIA OSDP version 2.2 features the messages and formatting that were included in the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) 60839-11-5 standard released earlier in 2020 and addresses some of the minor errata within that document. SIA OSDP version 2.2 replaces version 2.1.7 of the specification, released in 2015. The updates include an enhanced method for file transfer, which allows for the transfer of large data sets for firmware updates or graphics from an access control unit to a reader, clearer instructions for the implementation of SecureChannel to facilitate encrypted communications and updated messages for handling smartcard applications within the protocol.\n\nSIA OSDP version 2.2 is described as a bridge that allows for easier updates of the OSDP specification and the subsequent publishing of these enhancements as an international standard. SIA OSDP allows devices, such as card readers, control panels or other security management systems to work together, providing the security industry with a solution that moves far beyond the widely-used Wiegand standard in terms of security and functionality. A two-way channel and encryption pave the way for advanced security applications such as the handling of smart cards, biometrics and government applications that require Public Key Infrastructure or Federal Identity, Credential and Access Management requirements.\n\n\u201cSIA OSDP version 2.2 is a culmination of all of the work done over the past five years to prepare the protocol for international standardisation and fixes the majority of common implementation challenges faced by implementers of version 2.1.7,\u201d said Steve Rogers, co-chair of the SIA OSDP Working Group and president at IQ Devices.\n\nThe SIA OSDP standard is recommended for access control installations that require advanced security or will be used in government and other higher-security settings. In April 2020, SIA introduced SIA OSDP Verified, a comprehensive testing programme that validates a device\u2019s conformance to the SIA OSDP standard and related performance protocols. Maintained and developed by the SIA OSDP Working Group since 2011, the SIA OSDP standard was approved by the IEC technical committee on alarm and electronic security systems as an international standard in June 2020.\n\nSIA OSDP v2.2 aims to duplicate the contents and terminology that were required in the IEC standardisation process, harmonising the SIA published protocol series and the IEC standard. Future versions of OSDP will continue to follow the IEC formatting conventions, enabling the always-evolving work of the SIA SODP Working Group to be more easily adopted through the IEC standards process.\n\nwww.securityindustry.org<\/a>","post_title":"Version 2.2 of SIA OSDP standard unveiled","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"version-2-2-of-sia-osdp-standard-unveiled","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2020-12-17 12:30:13","post_modified_gmt":"2020-12-17 12:30:13","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4295","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4356,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2020-12-23 09:16:00","post_date_gmt":"2020-12-23 09:16:00","post_content":"In our series of 2021 predictions, Robin Hughes of Secure Logiq talks about video analytics.","post_title":"SOS 2021 Predictions | 'Video Analytics' with Secure Logiq","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"sos-2021-predictions-video-analytics-with-secure-logiq","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-01-23 10:49:50","post_modified_gmt":"2023-01-23 10:49:50","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4356","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4286,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2020-12-16 14:33:59","post_date_gmt":"2020-12-16 14:33:59","post_content":"Simon Wheeler and Neil Bain from Controlled.co.uk, discuss how the security industry may change in a post-pandemic world.","post_title":"SOS Opinion | Will the security industry return to normal after the pandemic?

The Martin Audio installation offers the right combination of power, reliability, quality and price that makes this installation such an impressive and successful experience for client and end user.\"\n\nwww.martin-audio.com<\/a>","post_title":"Highways England creates virtual training theatre","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"highways-england-creates-virtual-training-theatre","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2020-12-03 10:26:32","post_modified_gmt":"2020-12-03 10:26:32","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4137","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4098,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2020-11-30 16:53:15","post_date_gmt":"2020-11-30 16:53:15","post_content":"Suprema\u2019s intelligent biometric access controller CoreStation has acquired UL 294 compliance.

The app, which is available for iOS or Android devices, has been designed to consolidate useful widgets to make installation easier and provide sales and marketing support.\n\nThe Hik-ePartner app is a management platform where installers can get access to all Hikvision product information, promotions and marketing materials, as well as join a loyalty programme. According to the manufacturer, it offers straightforward product searches which allow installers to navigate using model names and numbers, product functions, and accessory options. Installers can also save their preferred products to a favourites list for later.\n\nThe app also offers a how to section where documents and videos can assist integrators with their daily work. An additional parameter and specifications calculating tool enables installers to recommend the most suitable products for their customers. Installers can also use the app to find all the go-to-market handouts such as infographics, One-Swipes (intuitive sales guides), and solution packages featuring small and medium sized businesses. Finally, push notifications provide sales promotions from Hikvision to help installers save money on Hikvision\u2019s latest products.\n\nHik-ePartner is also integrated with the Hik-ProConnect app. Installers using Hik-ProConnect can login to the Hik-ePartner platform with the same account, creating a smoother workflow for installers.\n\nwww.hikvision.com <\/a>","post_title":"Hikvision unveils Hik-ePartner App for installers","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"hikvision-unveils-hik-epartner-app-for-installers","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2020-11-27 15:52:25","post_modified_gmt":"2020-11-27 15:52:25","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4073","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4067,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2020-11-27 14:48:12","post_date_gmt":"2020-11-27 14:48:12","post_content":"Assa Abloy Entrance Systems supplied an array of doors throughout the recently completed Robins & Day Peugeot West London dealership at Chiswick, London.

The complete end-to-end solution offers protection at the perimeter, entrance and exit points, as well as close monitoring of the gaming hall and individual machines, guarding against break-ins and criminal damage as well as tampering and fraud.\n\nCasinos must be adequately protected, not just to secure the premises and protect against fraud or theft, but also to fulfil legal requirements set by the Gambling Commission and local authorities. Napoleons Casinos & Restaurants owners, The A&S Leisure Group Ltd, sought to employ a system that would incorporate the latest advancements in security, without the need to use multiple providers. Axis, together with its partner Brock Business Support, specified and deployed a solution which was customised to fully support the casino\u2019s requirements.\n\n\u201cWhen looking at the requirements of the new site, integration between the surveillance and access control systems was important, together with high quality images from the cameras, and immediate video play back with audio,\u201d explained Guy Hewson, Head of Security at The A&S Leisure Group Ltd. \u201cWe turned to Brock Business Support who, through its close working partnership with Axis Communications, was able to specify a system that could be tailor made for our requirements.\u201d\n\nThe project saw 100 cameras installed at the site, requiring six AXIS T8524 PoE+ network switches and recording on three servers, all driven by the AXIS Camera Station software running over four viewing stations. The staff entrance utilises an AXIS A8004-VE network video door station, and all staff are admitted after scanning using a biometric reader. Inside, AXIS M3065-V network mini dome cameras cover back of house areas, providing a wide-angle view.\n\nGaming tables, money exchange areas, bars and slot machines are monitored by AXIS P3375-V network cameras with built in two-way audio functionality. At the roulette wheels AXIS F1015 sensor units sit inside the table displays, providing a discrete full view with recording capabilities and images that are clear and sharp. Externally, the perimeter is covered by AXIS P3245-LVE fixed dome network cameras with AXIS Lightfinder technology, ideal for variable lighting and weather conditions.\n\n\u201cMultiple factors were taken into consideration during the installation of the many cameras and sensors across the Napoleons Casinos site, which meant meticulous planning, right down to considerations around connectivity,\u201d said Dave Brock, Managing Director, Brock Business Support. \u201cFor example, the use of AXIS Zipstream technology meant that Cat-5E cabling could be used, meaning no need to upgrade. This represented an immediate cost saving for the casino\u2019s owners.\u201d\n\nWith the ability to capture and export live video data in real-time for the authorities in the event of an incident, Axis\u2019 solution provides peace of mind for all at the site. Satisfied that the new system has met all of its objectives, The A&S Leisure Group Ltd now plans to review the technologies at its other four sites, implementing variations on the design employed so successfully at the Manchester premises.\n\nwww.axis.com<\/a>","post_title":"Axis creates end-to-end security and surveillance solution for Manchester casino","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"axis-creates-end-to-end-security-and-surveillance-solution-for-manchester-casino","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2020-11-18 14:45:57","post_modified_gmt":"2020-11-18 14:45:57","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4012","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":3975,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2020-11-13 16:27:22","post_date_gmt":"2020-11-13 16:27:22","post_content":"\n

   The 22nd ONVIF Developers\u2019 Plugfest took place this year as a virtual event in October. Nearly 50 developers and engineers from 26 ONVIF member companies gathered virtually over two weeks in and completed nearly 200 hours of testing. Developers could test products independently for profile conformance, as well as assess interoperability between their devices and those from other manufacturers.
   
   \u201cLike so many other organisations, ONVIF has had to adapt to new ways of collaborating and exchanging ideas,\u201d said Per Bj\u00f6rkdahl, chair of the ONVIF Steering Committee. \u201cInteroperability doesn\u2019t happen in a vacuum and, while nothing will replace valuable face-to-face interaction with our members, we are grateful for the continued participation of member companies in supporting ONVIF profile conformance.\u201d
   
   Profiles tested at this event include Profile A for access control configuration, Profile C for door control and event management, Profile S for basic video streaming, Profile T for advanced video streaming, Profile G for edge storage and retrieval, Profile Q for quick installation and the Profile M Release Candidate for metadata and analytics for smart applications.
   
   ONVIF Developers\u2019 Plugfests are typically held twice a year around the world, allowing the global members to gather and test their implementations. Due to the uncertain nature of the COVID-19 pandemic, details of the 23rd virtual ONVIF Developers\u2019 Plugfest will be announced at a later date.

      The Security Systems and Alarms Inspection Board (SSAIB) have achieved accreditation for BAFE's SP207 scheme for emergency evacuation systems - used by Fire and Rescue services to prioritise evacuation from residential high rise buildings and ensure people at risk in endangered areas can be safely evacuated. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      The new development from BAFE covers the design, installation, commissioning and maintenance of emergency evacuations systems that will help to provide quality evidence of competency to deliver these services, while also supporting British Standard 8629 Evacuation Alert Systems for use by fire and rescue services in buildings containing flats. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \"Developed in response to a recommendation from the Grenfell Tower Phase 1 inquiry report, it is likely to become a requirement that you will need to be third-party certified to work on emergency evacuation systems going forward,\" said Keith Strugnell, SSAIB Fire Scheme Manager. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \"However, despite it being a brand new scheme, existing SSAIB-registered SP203-1 firms will find it comparable to their own scheme \u2013 as it utilises a similar format, albeit that the scheme document has been changed to make it more relevant to emergency evacuation systems. Therefore, in theory, you will satisfy the requirements for SP207 by default if you already have SP203-1.\" <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      BAFE announced the scheme in the final quarter of 2020 and Keith went on to reveal that the leading UKAS-accredited certification body for the fire and security industries acted promptly to ensure that the organisation could add SP207 to its existing catalogue of BAFE fire schemes.
      
      Keith continued: \u201cWith regards to SSAIB, we completed training with BS 8629:2019 for our auditors and scheduled several pilot audits for those initial companies to achieve certification for this latest scheme that we provide certification for to the fire industry. We then collated all of the necessary criteria that was needed for our information packs and then we were ready to go.\"
      
      BAFE\u2019s director of schemes, Chris Auger, added: \u201cThe demand shown following the MHCLG consultation is unprecedented and represents a far greater awareness of systems and competency of their installers required following the tragedy of the Grenfell Tower Fire.
      
      \u201cWith the work BAFE have performed in conjunction with the industry and Fire and Rescue Service, we are pleased to offer a route to achieving this important third-party certification. Quality evidence of competency is going to have far greater scrutiny for everyone working in high-rise blocks in the very near future which can only be a good thing. This scheme will fill this crucial gap in providing confidence to specifiers knowing they are fulfilling their due diligence and continuing the \u2018golden thread\u2019 of accountability for the life safety of residents within the building.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \u201cThe expanding portfolio of BAFE schemes represents the necessity of quality evidence of competency required for niche, but extremely important, areas of the industry. Third-party certification is going to be a key focus of attention for the built environment moving forward and BAFE need to position itself to offer schemes that are both needed and, reflect the current concerns of occupants, regulators, service providers and building owners\/managers.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      The Mausoleum of Qin Shihuangdi in the city of Xi\u2019an has been outfitted with a comprehensive intrusion alarm system from Bosch Building Technologies. The Unesco World Heritage Site is home to a 2,000-year-old army of clay statues, the world-famous Terracotta Warriors, guarding the tomb of China\u2019s first emperor. Several hundred TriTech motion detectors are deployed to protect the 16,300-square-foot museum against theft and damage. According to the manufacturer, these detectors prevent costly and time-consuming false alarms under challenging environmental conditions, while providing detection reliability of real alarms. Because of the intrusion detection system, which detects and reports any unauthorised intrusion into the security areas to security personnel in less than two seconds, the museum can dispense entirely with physical protective barriers such as glass walls.<\/p>\n

      \u201cThe cooperation with Bosch is an excellent showcase of modern high-tech protection of historic buildings,\u201d said Ren Xuxin, Project Manager of Xi\u2019an Terracotta Warriors and Horses Pit Security Upgrade Project. \u201cBosch intrusion alarm systems help to upgrade the security level of these unique historic sites.\u201d<\/p>\n

      As wall detectors, the TriTech motion detectors protect the pits where the terracotta warriors are located. Because these pits collect large amounts of dust that could cause false alarms, the intelligent sensor data fusion algorithm in each of the detectors checks potential alarms with PIR sensor and microwave Doppler radar for a consistent result. The area to be protected is also secured from above by ceiling-mounted TriTech motion detectors located 4.8m above the museum floor.<\/p>\n

      In the event of an actual security breach, the Bosch G-Series system controller sends an alert, including the location of the triggered detector, to the security team in the control room, which uses live images from a video system to verify the alarm. In most cases, tourists trigger an alarm when they cross a threshold to retrieve their cameras or smartphones that have accidentally fallen into the pit. In doing so, there is a risk of damage to the priceless terracotta warriors.<\/p>\n

      The TriTech motion detectors provide round-the-clock protection for the museum, which is visited by thousands of people every day. In accordance with the museum operator\u2019s list of requirements, the intrusion detection system protects not only the museum, including the perimeter, as well as the visitor areas of the mausoleum, but additionally the cultural treasures currently stored in the unmanned warehouse.<\/p>\nwww.boschbuildingtechnologies.com<\/a>","post_title":"Bosch intrusion alarm solution protects Chinese terracotta warriors","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"bosch-intrusion-alarm-solution-protects-chinese-terracotta-warriors","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-03-09 11:17:38","post_modified_gmt":"2021-03-09 11:17:38","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=5228","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":5179,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-03-05 09:32:12","post_date_gmt":"2021-03-05 09:32:12","post_content":"Ditek has promoted Wendy Gattis to Chief Executive Officer.

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":4851,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-02-08 16:44:28","post_date_gmt":"2021-02-08 16:44:28","post_content":"Motorola Solutions has added to its video security and analytics portfolio with the Artificial Intelligence Network Video Recorder (AI NVR).

CertAlarm is now able to offer these certifications.\n\nBack in 2018, The Technical Committee CEN\/TC 72 released two common standards \u2013 EN 54-5: 2017 + A1:2018, \u201cHeat detectors \u2013 Point heat detectors\u201d, and 54-7: 2018, \u201cSmoke detectors \u2013 Point smoke detectors that operate using scattered light, transmitted light or ionisation\u201d. Following this, the European Commission cited them in the OJEU in 2019. The updated provisions include increased requirements for the EMC-resilience of detectors.\n\nBoth updated standards are mandatory for products that are sold throughout the EU from the end of the transition period on August 31, 2022. That means that all manufacturers should now start with the update of their corresponding external certificates and internal declarations by applying the latest version of EN 54-5 and EN 54-7 to their products. In due course, all manufacturers of heat and smoke detectors will be required to apply to authorised Notified Bodies for a Certificate of Constancy of Performance to the new revisions, enabling them to update their DoPs (Declaration of Performance).\n\nThe majority of CertAlarm partners have been accredited by their national Accreditation Bodies and notified by the EU for testing and certification based on the two harmonised norms and can now fully support manufacturers in obtaining the respective certificates.\n\n\u201cWe want to provide a comprehensive, competitive and time-saving support to manufacturers by offering all relevant testing and certification services as a one-stop solution which is valid throughout Europe,\u201d said Anja Kinsky, General Manager of CertAlarm. \u201cWe\u2019re therefore pleased to announce that we also cover these new certification requirements.\u201d\n\nwww.certalarm.org<\/a>","post_title":"CertAlarm partners accredited new EN 54-5 and 54-7 standards","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"certalarm-partners-accredited-new-en-54-5-and-54-7-standards","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-03 16:06:31","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-03 16:06:31","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4816","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4788,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-02-02 11:52:44","post_date_gmt":"2021-02-02 11:52:44","post_content":"There has been a sharp increase in the necessity for businesses to adopt hosted video surveillance (VSaaS) and access control (ACaaS) solutions according to new research into the impact of Covid-19 on physical security purchasing decisions. While 70% of 1,000 senior decision makers in IT, security, FM and HR roles agree this to be the case, 78% also anticipate their organisations\u2019 use of cloud technologies to increase in the future as a result of Covid-19.\n\nMorphean commissioned the independent survey which revealed that over three-quarters (76%) of senior managers in UK, Germany and Sweden have increased their use of video conferencing (e.g. Microsoft Teams); 65% have increased their use of office applications (e.g. Microsoft 365); and 70% of those in the security sector are now strongly inclined towards cloud adoption.\n\n51% say their company is currently using a cloud-based service for video surveillance (VSaaS) and\/or access control (ACaaS). This is an increase of 3% over 2019 (48%) and broadly reflects projected growth in the physical security market from US$93.5 billion in 2020 to US$120.3 billion by 2025 at a CAGR of 5.2%. The accelerating adoption of hosted solutions is buoyed by its low cost set up, flexible scalability and demand for real-time and remote access to security data.\n\n\u201cThe results highlight a hosted physical security market that will see strong growth in 2021 as cloud applications are proven to deliver business continuity in challenging times,\u201d said Rodrigue Zbinden, CEO of Morphean SA. \u201cAt the height of the lockdown, many business premises were unoccupied and potentially vulnerable, but remote monitoring and maintenance made possible by hosted security were a welcome advantage. We also saw a spike in demand for frictionless access control enabling a totally hands-free experience and negating the need for physical contact. Business leaders will now be considering the learnings from the past year and looking to apply them to boost productivity, streamline costs and make organisations more agile.\u201d\n\nFor security professionals already working with cloud services, the growth in connected digital devices through the IoT is resulting in an increased appetite for physical security, such as network cameras, to enhance existing IT systems and assist business intelligence gathering. The report shows that 95% agree that if an existing security system could deliver insights beyond security to assist decision making (i.e. occupancy or test and trace analytics), it would influence adoption.\n\nMore flexibility in working locations is the benefit respondents are most likely to identify from moving business functions to the cloud (50%), followed by easier collaboration (44%); more cost-effective (44%); safer\/better security (38%). It was found that 82% anticipate the levels\/frequency of remote workers and flexible working in their organisations to be higher post-pandemic and in the longer term than they were pre-pandemic.\n\nSecurity will need to be enhanced to facilitate greater flexibility in worker patterns. An access control solution which is linked to HR records, for example, can check the swipe of an access card against staff records. A staff member who is flagged as being on leave, absent or no longer employed will trigger an automated alert to the relevant personnel. Surveillance cameras also provide secondary authentication through visual clarification of an individual\u2019s identity.\n\n\u201cFor the physical security reseller, the study will demonstrate that hosted security solutions must play a major part in expanding their offering to a wiser customer base,\u201d said Zbinden. \u201cCloud-enabled physical security solutions represent an investment into improving security and operations, a chance to forge new business relationships, and an opportunity to embrace future proof technologies in preparation for whatever challenges the future might hold.\u201d\n\nRead the full report here<\/a>.\n\nwww.morphean.com<\/a>\n\n ","post_title":"Hosted video and access control sees sharp rise during the pandemic","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"hosted-video-and-access-control-sees-sharp-rise-during-the-pandemic","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-02 11:52:46","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-02 11:52:46","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4788","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4735,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-29 14:31:33","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-29 14:31:33","post_content":"Paxton is using online face-to-face training to offer installers the opportunity to understand and implement the latest updates to its flagship access control system Net2, and newest combined access control and video management system, Paxton10.

The manufacturer states that Cerberus Pace Modular and Compact offer a comprehensive PA\/VA solution, which can be integrated with fire protection and danger management systems. \n\n\u201cThanks to the Cerberus Pace systems, the user can cover all public and voice alarm needs with a single solution\u201d said Mario Kahlert, Head of Fire Safety at Siemens Smart Infrastructure. \u201cBy sharing the same state of the art technology as the modular system, but addressing small and simple applications, the Cerberus Pace Compact enables extensive customisation and is a cost-efficient solution for customers.\u201d \n\nThe range of potential applications covers any situation which require PA\/VA, including offices, hotels, airports, commercial facilities and educational buildings. As with the Modular system, Cerberus Pace Compact incorporates multiple redundancy levels and is also suitable for step-by-step modernisation of outdated systems. According to the manufacturer, the system\u2019s professional sound quality and low latency enable clear communication, both in emergency situations and for day-to-day announcements or music.\n\nCerberus Pace Compact is available in two versions: Compact 400 and Compact 1000. Wall mounted, despite its comparatively small size, Cerberus Pace Compact offers power of up to 2,000W and an additional backup amplifier and pilot tone amplifier. Cerberus Pace systems are fully compliant with the EN 54-16 standard and local codes of practice in European countries. The systems can cover all redundancy, ensuring there is adequate back-up. To support the safety-first approach, both high performing and reliable systems stand for no single point of failure, thanks to distributed intelligence, where each network participant has a CPU that allows the device to be made independent.\n\nCerberus Pace comes with dedicated configuration software and real-time engineering. The system can be configured live, while it is running, reportedly without causing any interruption to day-to-day activities. No shut down is necessary for maintenance or to change the configuration, with remote access ensuring business continuity, whatever the environment. \n\nCerberus Pace Compact can be combined with the Modular system using the same network and configuration tools to offer a wider choice of ancillary products (for example, amplifiers or audio matrix), while also enabling cost optimisation. In addition, both systems can be used for stepwise modernisations of older voice alarm systems (often using existing cabling), making it possible to futureproof the system to meet changing demands. Different connection options (loop, stub line, double stub lines, and even compatibility with star structures or T-taps) offer greater flexibility during the installation process.\n\nwww.siemens.com\/cerberus-pace<\/a>\n\n ","post_title":"Siemens launches compact PA\/VA solution","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"siemens-launches-compact-pa-va-solution","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-01-29 10:49:01","post_modified_gmt":"2021-01-29 10:49:01","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4727","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4633,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-21 18:40:49","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-21 18:40:49","post_content":"Montana State University-Northern is using Napco Security Technologies products in a school security project.

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":4609,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-19 15:02:03","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-19 15:02:03","post_content":"Simon Wheeler and Neil Bain from Controlled.co.uk discuss how systems integration contracts come to them and how they approach their relationships with clients.","post_title":"SOS Opinion | How Controlled.co.uk secure contracts in systems integration","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"sos-opinion-how-controlled-co-uk-secure-contracts-in-systems-integration","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-01-19 15:02:08","post_modified_gmt":"2021-01-19 15:02:08","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4609","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4597,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-18 12:03:55","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-18 12:03:55","post_content":"Bosch states that its new Autodome IP starlight 5100i offers enhanced image quality and built-in Artificial Intelligence (AI) to help operators react before a potential situation occurs. Designed for outdoor surveillance applications when light levels vary, the Autodome IP starlight 5100i has a new \u00bd inch camera sensor offering 4MP resolution and 20x optical zoom to detect people or objects at a maximum distance up to 1,676m.\n\nThe camera is equipped with advanced motion optimised High Dynamic Range (HDR-X) at 133dB and starlight technology, which the manufacturer states allows the camera to provide \u201cexceptional image quality during daytime and at lower light levels such as dusk and dawn without blurring of moving objects\u201d. The camera is weatherproof with vandal-resistant housing expanding its use to demanding city surveillance situations.\n\nBuilt-in AI, like video analytics, uses metadata to add sense and structure to video footage. Bosch states that this enables cameras to \u201cunderstand what they are seeing and gives customers a smart choice to know what is next\u201d.\n\nThe Autodome IP starlight 5100i camera comes with built-in Essential Video Analytics to deliver actionable insights that help operators react before a possible threat or unwanted situation occurs. This built-in AI captures relevant data for uses such as enforcing traffic regulations, detecting vehicles driving in the wrong direction, and delivering occupancy data, such as the number of vehicles entering and leaving a parking garage for smarter, more efficient parking. When idle, the camera can provide relevant, usable statistics like the number of people entering a specific area, analyse behavior, or assist in enforcing health and safety regulations such as raising awareness of a blocked emergency exit.\n\nHigher resolutions and frame rates, improved dynamic range, and enhanced light sensitivity are essential to capturing images that can distinguish individuals or objects for identification or proof. A unique feature of the Autodome IP starlight 5100i is the new \u00bd inch camera sensor offering 4MP resolution, 20x optical zoom, and durable housing to meet demanding applications, especially outdoors.\n\nThe AUTODOME\u2019s built-in starlight technology and HDR-X technology are described as an \u201cideal combination\u201d for this mid-range moving camera. Starlight technology enables the camera to capture colour detail when light levels drop to nearly zero and maximise low light performance. HDR-X eliminates shadows and balances uneven exposure with a dynamic range of 133dB. Operators can locate a person or object in motion at a distance up to 1,676m and can manually track individuals of interest as they move, regardless of speed, far beyond a fixed camera\u2019s field of view.\n\nAll Bosch video security cameras offer built-in AI as standard and connect to the Bosch cloud for remote maintenance and device management. Systems integrators can work with customers remotely to perform service when they cannot meet face to face.\n\nWith the free Bosch Project Assistant software, systems integrators are supported in the planning, pre-configuration, commissioning and reporting for video security projects without the need to be physically near the cameras. The Bosch Remote Portal offers secure device management, set up and health monitoring via the Bosch cloud from anywhere.\n\nBecause video data is often highly critical and sensitive, Bosch has a systematic approach to maximising data security centered on a built-in Trusted Platform Module to keep video data secure. With remote configuration, management and planning, systems integrators can reduce installation and set-up time and minimise the number of commutes, resulting in sustainable business practices that are economically viable, socially responsible and environmentally friendly.\n\nwww.boschsecurity.com<\/a>","post_title":"Bosch offers built-in AI with Autodome IP starlight 5100i video camera","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"bosch-offers-built-in-ai-with-autodome-ip-starlight-5100i-video-camera","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-01-18 12:04:00","post_modified_gmt":"2021-01-18 12:04:00","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4597","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.

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":4505,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-10 10:46:00","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-10 10:46:00","post_content":"Optex\u2019 range of Intelligent Passive Infrared (PIR) sensors have been deployed by Harper Security Systems to cover three properties in the UK Home Counties and Lincolnshire.

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.

OSDP is an access control communications standard developed by SIA to improve interoperability among access control and security products.\n\nSIA OSDP version 2.2 features the messages and formatting that were included in the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) 60839-11-5 standard released earlier in 2020 and addresses some of the minor errata within that document. SIA OSDP version 2.2 replaces version 2.1.7 of the specification, released in 2015. The updates include an enhanced method for file transfer, which allows for the transfer of large data sets for firmware updates or graphics from an access control unit to a reader, clearer instructions for the implementation of SecureChannel to facilitate encrypted communications and updated messages for handling smartcard applications within the protocol.\n\nSIA OSDP version 2.2 is described as a bridge that allows for easier updates of the OSDP specification and the subsequent publishing of these enhancements as an international standard. SIA OSDP allows devices, such as card readers, control panels or other security management systems to work together, providing the security industry with a solution that moves far beyond the widely-used Wiegand standard in terms of security and functionality. A two-way channel and encryption pave the way for advanced security applications such as the handling of smart cards, biometrics and government applications that require Public Key Infrastructure or Federal Identity, Credential and Access Management requirements.\n\n\u201cSIA OSDP version 2.2 is a culmination of all of the work done over the past five years to prepare the protocol for international standardisation and fixes the majority of common implementation challenges faced by implementers of version 2.1.7,\u201d said Steve Rogers, co-chair of the SIA OSDP Working Group and president at IQ Devices.\n\nThe SIA OSDP standard is recommended for access control installations that require advanced security or will be used in government and other higher-security settings. In April 2020, SIA introduced SIA OSDP Verified, a comprehensive testing programme that validates a device\u2019s conformance to the SIA OSDP standard and related performance protocols. Maintained and developed by the SIA OSDP Working Group since 2011, the SIA OSDP standard was approved by the IEC technical committee on alarm and electronic security systems as an international standard in June 2020.\n\nSIA OSDP v2.2 aims to duplicate the contents and terminology that were required in the IEC standardisation process, harmonising the SIA published protocol series and the IEC standard. Future versions of OSDP will continue to follow the IEC formatting conventions, enabling the always-evolving work of the SIA SODP Working Group to be more easily adopted through the IEC standards process.\n\nwww.securityindustry.org<\/a>","post_title":"Version 2.2 of SIA OSDP standard unveiled","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"version-2-2-of-sia-osdp-standard-unveiled","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2020-12-17 12:30:13","post_modified_gmt":"2020-12-17 12:30:13","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4295","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4356,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2020-12-23 09:16:00","post_date_gmt":"2020-12-23 09:16:00","post_content":"In our series of 2021 predictions, Robin Hughes of Secure Logiq talks about video analytics.","post_title":"SOS 2021 Predictions | 'Video Analytics' with Secure Logiq","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"sos-2021-predictions-video-analytics-with-secure-logiq","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-01-23 10:49:50","post_modified_gmt":"2023-01-23 10:49:50","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4356","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4286,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2020-12-16 14:33:59","post_date_gmt":"2020-12-16 14:33:59","post_content":"Simon Wheeler and Neil Bain from Controlled.co.uk, discuss how the security industry may change in a post-pandemic world.","post_title":"SOS Opinion | Will the security industry return to normal after the pandemic?

The complete end-to-end solution offers protection at the perimeter, entrance and exit points, as well as close monitoring of the gaming hall and individual machines, guarding against break-ins and criminal damage as well as tampering and fraud.\n\nCasinos must be adequately protected, not just to secure the premises and protect against fraud or theft, but also to fulfil legal requirements set by the Gambling Commission and local authorities. Napoleons Casinos & Restaurants owners, The A&S Leisure Group Ltd, sought to employ a system that would incorporate the latest advancements in security, without the need to use multiple providers. Axis, together with its partner Brock Business Support, specified and deployed a solution which was customised to fully support the casino\u2019s requirements.\n\n\u201cWhen looking at the requirements of the new site, integration between the surveillance and access control systems was important, together with high quality images from the cameras, and immediate video play back with audio,\u201d explained Guy Hewson, Head of Security at The A&S Leisure Group Ltd. \u201cWe turned to Brock Business Support who, through its close working partnership with Axis Communications, was able to specify a system that could be tailor made for our requirements.\u201d\n\nThe project saw 100 cameras installed at the site, requiring six AXIS T8524 PoE+ network switches and recording on three servers, all driven by the AXIS Camera Station software running over four viewing stations. The staff entrance utilises an AXIS A8004-VE network video door station, and all staff are admitted after scanning using a biometric reader. Inside, AXIS M3065-V network mini dome cameras cover back of house areas, providing a wide-angle view.\n\nGaming tables, money exchange areas, bars and slot machines are monitored by AXIS P3375-V network cameras with built in two-way audio functionality. At the roulette wheels AXIS F1015 sensor units sit inside the table displays, providing a discrete full view with recording capabilities and images that are clear and sharp. Externally, the perimeter is covered by AXIS P3245-LVE fixed dome network cameras with AXIS Lightfinder technology, ideal for variable lighting and weather conditions.\n\n\u201cMultiple factors were taken into consideration during the installation of the many cameras and sensors across the Napoleons Casinos site, which meant meticulous planning, right down to considerations around connectivity,\u201d said Dave Brock, Managing Director, Brock Business Support. \u201cFor example, the use of AXIS Zipstream technology meant that Cat-5E cabling could be used, meaning no need to upgrade. This represented an immediate cost saving for the casino\u2019s owners.\u201d\n\nWith the ability to capture and export live video data in real-time for the authorities in the event of an incident, Axis\u2019 solution provides peace of mind for all at the site. Satisfied that the new system has met all of its objectives, The A&S Leisure Group Ltd now plans to review the technologies at its other four sites, implementing variations on the design employed so successfully at the Manchester premises.\n\nwww.axis.com<\/a>","post_title":"Axis creates end-to-end security and surveillance solution for Manchester casino","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"axis-creates-end-to-end-security-and-surveillance-solution-for-manchester-casino","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2020-11-18 14:45:57","post_modified_gmt":"2020-11-18 14:45:57","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4012","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":3975,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2020-11-13 16:27:22","post_date_gmt":"2020-11-13 16:27:22","post_content":"\n

      The 22nd ONVIF Developers\u2019 Plugfest took place this year as a virtual event in October. Nearly 50 developers and engineers from 26 ONVIF member companies gathered virtually over two weeks in and completed nearly 200 hours of testing. Developers could test products independently for profile conformance, as well as assess interoperability between their devices and those from other manufacturers.
      
      \u201cLike so many other organisations, ONVIF has had to adapt to new ways of collaborating and exchanging ideas,\u201d said Per Bj\u00f6rkdahl, chair of the ONVIF Steering Committee. \u201cInteroperability doesn\u2019t happen in a vacuum and, while nothing will replace valuable face-to-face interaction with our members, we are grateful for the continued participation of member companies in supporting ONVIF profile conformance.\u201d
      
      Profiles tested at this event include Profile A for access control configuration, Profile C for door control and event management, Profile S for basic video streaming, Profile T for advanced video streaming, Profile G for edge storage and retrieval, Profile Q for quick installation and the Profile M Release Candidate for metadata and analytics for smart applications.
      
      ONVIF Developers\u2019 Plugfests are typically held twice a year around the world, allowing the global members to gather and test their implementations.

         The Security Systems and Alarms Inspection Board (SSAIB) have achieved accreditation for BAFE's SP207 scheme for emergency evacuation systems - used by Fire and Rescue services to prioritise evacuation from residential high rise buildings and ensure people at risk in endangered areas can be safely evacuated. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

         The new development from BAFE covers the design, installation, commissioning and maintenance of emergency evacuations systems that will help to provide quality evidence of competency to deliver these services, while also supporting British Standard 8629 Evacuation Alert Systems for use by fire and rescue services in buildings containing flats. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

         \"Developed in response to a recommendation from the Grenfell Tower Phase 1 inquiry report, it is likely to become a requirement that you will need to be third-party certified to work on emergency evacuation systems going forward,\" said Keith Strugnell, SSAIB Fire Scheme Manager. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

         \"However, despite it being a brand new scheme, existing SSAIB-registered SP203-1 firms will find it comparable to their own scheme \u2013 as it utilises a similar format, albeit that the scheme document has been changed to make it more relevant to emergency evacuation systems. Therefore, in theory, you will satisfy the requirements for SP207 by default if you already have SP203-1.\" <\/p>\n\n\n\n

         BAFE announced the scheme in the final quarter of 2020 and Keith went on to reveal that the leading UKAS-accredited certification body for the fire and security industries acted promptly to ensure that the organisation could add SP207 to its existing catalogue of BAFE fire schemes.
         
         Keith continued: \u201cWith regards to SSAIB, we completed training with BS 8629:2019 for our auditors and scheduled several pilot audits for those initial companies to achieve certification for this latest scheme that we provide certification for to the fire industry. We then collated all of the necessary criteria that was needed for our information packs and then we were ready to go.\"
         
         BAFE\u2019s director of schemes, Chris Auger, added: \u201cThe demand shown following the MHCLG consultation is unprecedented and represents a far greater awareness of systems and competency of their installers required following the tragedy of the Grenfell Tower Fire.
         
         \u201cWith the work BAFE have performed in conjunction with the industry and Fire and Rescue Service, we are pleased to offer a route to achieving this important third-party certification. Quality evidence of competency is going to have far greater scrutiny for everyone working in high-rise blocks in the very near future which can only be a good thing. This scheme will fill this crucial gap in providing confidence to specifiers knowing they are fulfilling their due diligence and continuing the \u2018golden thread\u2019 of accountability for the life safety of residents within the building.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

         \u201cThe expanding portfolio of BAFE schemes represents the necessity of quality evidence of competency required for niche, but extremely important, areas of the industry. Third-party certification is going to be a key focus of attention for the built environment moving forward and BAFE need to position itself to offer schemes that are both needed and, reflect the current concerns of occupants, regulators, service providers and building owners\/managers.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Several hundred TriTech motion detectors are deployed to protect the 16,300-square-foot museum against theft and damage. According to the manufacturer, these detectors prevent costly and time-consuming false alarms under challenging environmental conditions, while providing detection reliability of real alarms. Because of the intrusion detection system, which detects and reports any unauthorised intrusion into the security areas to security personnel in less than two seconds, the museum can dispense entirely with physical protective barriers such as glass walls.<\/p>\n

         \u201cThe cooperation with Bosch is an excellent showcase of modern high-tech protection of historic buildings,\u201d said Ren Xuxin, Project Manager of Xi\u2019an Terracotta Warriors and Horses Pit Security Upgrade Project. \u201cBosch intrusion alarm systems help to upgrade the security level of these unique historic sites.\u201d<\/p>\n

         As wall detectors, the TriTech motion detectors protect the pits where the terracotta warriors are located. Because these pits collect large amounts of dust that could cause false alarms, the intelligent sensor data fusion algorithm in each of the detectors checks potential alarms with PIR sensor and microwave Doppler radar for a consistent result. The area to be protected is also secured from above by ceiling-mounted TriTech motion detectors located 4.8m above the museum floor.<\/p>\n

         In the event of an actual security breach, the Bosch G-Series system controller sends an alert, including the location of the triggered detector, to the security team in the control room, which uses live images from a video system to verify the alarm. In most cases, tourists trigger an alarm when they cross a threshold to retrieve their cameras or smartphones that have accidentally fallen into the pit. In doing so, there is a risk of damage to the priceless terracotta warriors.<\/p>\n

         The TriTech motion detectors provide round-the-clock protection for the museum, which is visited by thousands of people every day. In accordance with the museum operator\u2019s list of requirements, the intrusion detection system protects not only the museum, including the perimeter, as well as the visitor areas of the mausoleum, but additionally the cultural treasures currently stored in the unmanned warehouse.<\/p>\nwww.boschbuildingtechnologies.com<\/a>","post_title":"Bosch intrusion alarm solution protects Chinese terracotta warriors","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"bosch-intrusion-alarm-solution-protects-chinese-terracotta-warriors","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-03-09 11:17:38","post_modified_gmt":"2021-03-09 11:17:38","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=5228","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":5179,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-03-05 09:32:12","post_date_gmt":"2021-03-05 09:32:12","post_content":"Ditek has promoted Wendy Gattis to Chief Executive Officer.

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":4851,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-02-08 16:44:28","post_date_gmt":"2021-02-08 16:44:28","post_content":"Motorola Solutions has added to its video security and analytics portfolio with the Artificial Intelligence Network Video Recorder (AI NVR).

CertAlarm is now able to offer these certifications.\n\nBack in 2018, The Technical Committee CEN\/TC 72 released two common standards \u2013 EN 54-5: 2017 + A1:2018, \u201cHeat detectors \u2013 Point heat detectors\u201d, and 54-7: 2018, \u201cSmoke detectors \u2013 Point smoke detectors that operate using scattered light, transmitted light or ionisation\u201d. Following this, the European Commission cited them in the OJEU in 2019. The updated provisions include increased requirements for the EMC-resilience of detectors.\n\nBoth updated standards are mandatory for products that are sold throughout the EU from the end of the transition period on August 31, 2022. That means that all manufacturers should now start with the update of their corresponding external certificates and internal declarations by applying the latest version of EN 54-5 and EN 54-7 to their products. In due course, all manufacturers of heat and smoke detectors will be required to apply to authorised Notified Bodies for a Certificate of Constancy of Performance to the new revisions, enabling them to update their DoPs (Declaration of Performance).\n\nThe majority of CertAlarm partners have been accredited by their national Accreditation Bodies and notified by the EU for testing and certification based on the two harmonised norms and can now fully support manufacturers in obtaining the respective certificates.\n\n\u201cWe want to provide a comprehensive, competitive and time-saving support to manufacturers by offering all relevant testing and certification services as a one-stop solution which is valid throughout Europe,\u201d said Anja Kinsky, General Manager of CertAlarm. \u201cWe\u2019re therefore pleased to announce that we also cover these new certification requirements.\u201d\n\nwww.certalarm.org<\/a>","post_title":"CertAlarm partners accredited new EN 54-5 and 54-7 standards","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"certalarm-partners-accredited-new-en-54-5-and-54-7-standards","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-03 16:06:31","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-03 16:06:31","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4816","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4788,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-02-02 11:52:44","post_date_gmt":"2021-02-02 11:52:44","post_content":"There has been a sharp increase in the necessity for businesses to adopt hosted video surveillance (VSaaS) and access control (ACaaS) solutions according to new research into the impact of Covid-19 on physical security purchasing decisions. While 70% of 1,000 senior decision makers in IT, security, FM and HR roles agree this to be the case, 78% also anticipate their organisations\u2019 use of cloud technologies to increase in the future as a result of Covid-19.\n\nMorphean commissioned the independent survey which revealed that over three-quarters (76%) of senior managers in UK, Germany and Sweden have increased their use of video conferencing (e.g. Microsoft Teams); 65% have increased their use of office applications (e.g. Microsoft 365); and 70% of those in the security sector are now strongly inclined towards cloud adoption.\n\n51% say their company is currently using a cloud-based service for video surveillance (VSaaS) and\/or access control (ACaaS). This is an increase of 3% over 2019 (48%) and broadly reflects projected growth in the physical security market from US$93.5 billion in 2020 to US$120.3 billion by 2025 at a CAGR of 5.2%. The accelerating adoption of hosted solutions is buoyed by its low cost set up, flexible scalability and demand for real-time and remote access to security data.\n\n\u201cThe results highlight a hosted physical security market that will see strong growth in 2021 as cloud applications are proven to deliver business continuity in challenging times,\u201d said Rodrigue Zbinden, CEO of Morphean SA. \u201cAt the height of the lockdown, many business premises were unoccupied and potentially vulnerable, but remote monitoring and maintenance made possible by hosted security were a welcome advantage. We also saw a spike in demand for frictionless access control enabling a totally hands-free experience and negating the need for physical contact. Business leaders will now be considering the learnings from the past year and looking to apply them to boost productivity, streamline costs and make organisations more agile.\u201d\n\nFor security professionals already working with cloud services, the growth in connected digital devices through the IoT is resulting in an increased appetite for physical security, such as network cameras, to enhance existing IT systems and assist business intelligence gathering. The report shows that 95% agree that if an existing security system could deliver insights beyond security to assist decision making (i.e. occupancy or test and trace analytics), it would influence adoption.\n\nMore flexibility in working locations is the benefit respondents are most likely to identify from moving business functions to the cloud (50%), followed by easier collaboration (44%); more cost-effective (44%); safer\/better security (38%). It was found that 82% anticipate the levels\/frequency of remote workers and flexible working in their organisations to be higher post-pandemic and in the longer term than they were pre-pandemic.\n\nSecurity will need to be enhanced to facilitate greater flexibility in worker patterns. An access control solution which is linked to HR records, for example, can check the swipe of an access card against staff records. A staff member who is flagged as being on leave, absent or no longer employed will trigger an automated alert to the relevant personnel. Surveillance cameras also provide secondary authentication through visual clarification of an individual\u2019s identity.\n\n\u201cFor the physical security reseller, the study will demonstrate that hosted security solutions must play a major part in expanding their offering to a wiser customer base,\u201d said Zbinden. \u201cCloud-enabled physical security solutions represent an investment into improving security and operations, a chance to forge new business relationships, and an opportunity to embrace future proof technologies in preparation for whatever challenges the future might hold.\u201d\n\nRead the full report here<\/a>.\n\nwww.morphean.com<\/a>\n\n ","post_title":"Hosted video and access control sees sharp rise during the pandemic","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"hosted-video-and-access-control-sees-sharp-rise-during-the-pandemic","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-02 11:52:46","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-02 11:52:46","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4788","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4735,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-29 14:31:33","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-29 14:31:33","post_content":"Paxton is using online face-to-face training to offer installers the opportunity to understand and implement the latest updates to its flagship access control system Net2, and newest combined access control and video management system, Paxton10.

The manufacturer states that Cerberus Pace Modular and Compact offer a comprehensive PA\/VA solution, which can be integrated with fire protection and danger management systems. \n\n\u201cThanks to the Cerberus Pace systems, the user can cover all public and voice alarm needs with a single solution\u201d said Mario Kahlert, Head of Fire Safety at Siemens Smart Infrastructure. \u201cBy sharing the same state of the art technology as the modular system, but addressing small and simple applications, the Cerberus Pace Compact enables extensive customisation and is a cost-efficient solution for customers.\u201d \n\nThe range of potential applications covers any situation which require PA\/VA, including offices, hotels, airports, commercial facilities and educational buildings. As with the Modular system, Cerberus Pace Compact incorporates multiple redundancy levels and is also suitable for step-by-step modernisation of outdated systems. According to the manufacturer, the system\u2019s professional sound quality and low latency enable clear communication, both in emergency situations and for day-to-day announcements or music.\n\nCerberus Pace Compact is available in two versions: Compact 400 and Compact 1000. Wall mounted, despite its comparatively small size, Cerberus Pace Compact offers power of up to 2,000W and an additional backup amplifier and pilot tone amplifier. Cerberus Pace systems are fully compliant with the EN 54-16 standard and local codes of practice in European countries. The systems can cover all redundancy, ensuring there is adequate back-up. To support the safety-first approach, both high performing and reliable systems stand for no single point of failure, thanks to distributed intelligence, where each network participant has a CPU that allows the device to be made independent.\n\nCerberus Pace comes with dedicated configuration software and real-time engineering. The system can be configured live, while it is running, reportedly without causing any interruption to day-to-day activities. No shut down is necessary for maintenance or to change the configuration, with remote access ensuring business continuity, whatever the environment. \n\nCerberus Pace Compact can be combined with the Modular system using the same network and configuration tools to offer a wider choice of ancillary products (for example, amplifiers or audio matrix), while also enabling cost optimisation. In addition, both systems can be used for stepwise modernisations of older voice alarm systems (often using existing cabling), making it possible to futureproof the system to meet changing demands. Different connection options (loop, stub line, double stub lines, and even compatibility with star structures or T-taps) offer greater flexibility during the installation process.\n\nwww.siemens.com\/cerberus-pace<\/a>\n\n ","post_title":"Siemens launches compact PA\/VA solution","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"siemens-launches-compact-pa-va-solution","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-01-29 10:49:01","post_modified_gmt":"2021-01-29 10:49:01","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4727","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4633,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-21 18:40:49","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-21 18:40:49","post_content":"Montana State University-Northern is using Napco Security Technologies products in a school security project.

The benefits and convenience of contactless access control have been well documented prior to, and even more so during the pandemic. Being able to provide access credentials without having touch points not only offer users convenience, but also ensures they are reducing the risk of infection to themselves and others.\u201d\n\nPaxton Key works with Paxton10 readers, PaxLock Pro and Entry panels. 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":4609,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-19 15:02:03","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-19 15:02:03","post_content":"Simon Wheeler and Neil Bain from Controlled.co.uk discuss how systems integration contracts come to them and how they approach their relationships with clients.","post_title":"SOS Opinion | How Controlled.co.uk secure contracts in systems integration","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"sos-opinion-how-controlled-co-uk-secure-contracts-in-systems-integration","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-01-19 15:02:08","post_modified_gmt":"2021-01-19 15:02:08","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4609","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4597,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-18 12:03:55","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-18 12:03:55","post_content":"Bosch states that its new Autodome IP starlight 5100i offers enhanced image quality and built-in Artificial Intelligence (AI) to help operators react before a potential situation occurs. Designed for outdoor surveillance applications when light levels vary, the Autodome IP starlight 5100i has a new \u00bd inch camera sensor offering 4MP resolution and 20x optical zoom to detect people or objects at a maximum distance up to 1,676m.\n\nThe camera is equipped with advanced motion optimised High Dynamic Range (HDR-X) at 133dB and starlight technology, which the manufacturer states allows the camera to provide \u201cexceptional image quality during daytime and at lower light levels such as dusk and dawn without blurring of moving objects\u201d. The camera is weatherproof with vandal-resistant housing expanding its use to demanding city surveillance situations.\n\nBuilt-in AI, like video analytics, uses metadata to add sense and structure to video footage. Bosch states that this enables cameras to \u201cunderstand what they are seeing and gives customers a smart choice to know what is next\u201d.\n\nThe Autodome IP starlight 5100i camera comes with built-in Essential Video Analytics to deliver actionable insights that help operators react before a possible threat or unwanted situation occurs. This built-in AI captures relevant data for uses such as enforcing traffic regulations, detecting vehicles driving in the wrong direction, and delivering occupancy data, such as the number of vehicles entering and leaving a parking garage for smarter, more efficient parking. When idle, the camera can provide relevant, usable statistics like the number of people entering a specific area, analyse behavior, or assist in enforcing health and safety regulations such as raising awareness of a blocked emergency exit.\n\nHigher resolutions and frame rates, improved dynamic range, and enhanced light sensitivity are essential to capturing images that can distinguish individuals or objects for identification or proof. A unique feature of the Autodome IP starlight 5100i is the new \u00bd inch camera sensor offering 4MP resolution, 20x optical zoom, and durable housing to meet demanding applications, especially outdoors.\n\nThe AUTODOME\u2019s built-in starlight technology and HDR-X technology are described as an \u201cideal combination\u201d for this mid-range moving camera. Starlight technology enables the camera to capture colour detail when light levels drop to nearly zero and maximise low light performance. HDR-X eliminates shadows and balances uneven exposure with a dynamic range of 133dB. Operators can locate a person or object in motion at a distance up to 1,676m and can manually track individuals of interest as they move, regardless of speed, far beyond a fixed camera\u2019s field of view.\n\nAll Bosch video security cameras offer built-in AI as standard and connect to the Bosch cloud for remote maintenance and device management. Systems integrators can work with customers remotely to perform service when they cannot meet face to face.\n\nWith the free Bosch Project Assistant software, systems integrators are supported in the planning, pre-configuration, commissioning and reporting for video security projects without the need to be physically near the cameras. The Bosch Remote Portal offers secure device management, set up and health monitoring via the Bosch cloud from anywhere.\n\nBecause video data is often highly critical and sensitive, Bosch has a systematic approach to maximising data security centered on a built-in Trusted Platform Module to keep video data secure. With remote configuration, management and planning, systems integrators can reduce installation and set-up time and minimise the number of commutes, resulting in sustainable business practices that are economically viable, socially responsible and environmentally friendly.\n\nwww.boschsecurity.com<\/a>","post_title":"Bosch offers built-in AI with Autodome IP starlight 5100i video camera","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"bosch-offers-built-in-ai-with-autodome-ip-starlight-5100i-video-camera","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-01-18 12:04:00","post_modified_gmt":"2021-01-18 12:04:00","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4597","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.

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":4505,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-10 10:46:00","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-10 10:46:00","post_content":"Optex\u2019 range of Intelligent Passive Infrared (PIR) sensors have been deployed by Harper Security Systems to cover three properties in the UK Home Counties and Lincolnshire.

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.

In addition, the Aperio\/Connect ONE integration works with popular Bosch, DMP, ELK and Honeywell Vista panels so they can be up and running with new specs quickly.\u201d\n\n\u201cIntegration with the Aperio locksets provides vIDix Control customers with the ability to extend electronic access to areas of their facility that are typically off limits to a wired solution,\u201d added Steve Lohman, Workplace Security Solutions Product Advocate, Ban-Koe Companies.\n\n\u201cConnect ONE offers a simple, scalable solution that complements the Aperio offering perfectly,\u201d stated Mark Duato, Executive Vice President, Aftermarket, Assa Abloy Opening Solutions Americas. \u201cThis integration will offer dealers and end-users a highly flexible solution for comprehensive access management.\n\n\u201cThe Aperio integration with vIDix Control combines ease of use with flexibility and scalability to enable comprehensive management for any facility,\u201d he continued.\n\nDiscussing the integration with the Frontier Integrated Platform, Bruce Rogoff, CEO of Matrix Systems, stated: \u201cThe Assa Abloy integration furthers our commitment to open platforms and helping customers secure even more of their facilities. Partnering with Assa Abloy gives Matrix the ability to help lower access control costs to the enterprise organisations we serve across the country.\u201d\n\n\u201cThe Matrix commitment to delivering the precise level of security an organization needs is an excellent fit for Assa Abloy,\u201d noted Duato. \u201cThe integration with our IP-enabled technology supports that commitment with a solution that makes it easier and more affordable to expand access control deeper into a facility.\u201d\n\nwww.assaabloydss.com<\/a>","post_title":"Assa Abloy integrates with Connected Technologies, Ban-Koe Companies and Matrix Systems","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"assa-abloy-integrates-with-connected-technologies-ban-koe-companies-and-matrix-systems","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-02-08 10:46:04","post_modified_gmt":"2023-02-08 10:46:04","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4301","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4295,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2020-12-23 11:10:00","post_date_gmt":"2020-12-23 11:10:00","post_content":"Version 2.2 of the SIA Open Supervised Device Protocol (OSDP) has been released by the Security Industry Association (SIA). OSDP is an access control communications standard developed by SIA to improve interoperability among access control and security products.\n\nSIA OSDP version 2.2 features the messages and formatting that were included in the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) 60839-11-5 standard released earlier in 2020 and addresses some of the minor errata within that document. SIA OSDP version 2.2 replaces version 2.1.7 of the specification, released in 2015. The updates include an enhanced method for file transfer, which allows for the transfer of large data sets for firmware updates or graphics from an access control unit to a reader, clearer instructions for the implementation of SecureChannel to facilitate encrypted communications and updated messages for handling smartcard applications within the protocol.\n\nSIA OSDP version 2.2 is described as a bridge that allows for easier updates of the OSDP specification and the subsequent publishing of these enhancements as an international standard. SIA OSDP allows devices, such as card readers, control panels or other security management systems to work together, providing the security industry with a solution that moves far beyond the widely-used Wiegand standard in terms of security and functionality. A two-way channel and encryption pave the way for advanced security applications such as the handling of smart cards, biometrics and government applications that require Public Key Infrastructure or Federal Identity, Credential and Access Management requirements.\n\n\u201cSIA OSDP version 2.2 is a culmination of all of the work done over the past five years to prepare the protocol for international standardisation and fixes the majority of common implementation challenges faced by implementers of version 2.1.7,\u201d said Steve Rogers, co-chair of the SIA OSDP Working Group and president at IQ Devices.\n\nThe SIA OSDP standard is recommended for access control installations that require advanced security or will be used in government and other higher-security settings. In April 2020, SIA introduced SIA OSDP Verified, a comprehensive testing programme that validates a device\u2019s conformance to the SIA OSDP standard and related performance protocols. Maintained and developed by the SIA OSDP Working Group since 2011, the SIA OSDP standard was approved by the IEC technical committee on alarm and electronic security systems as an international standard in June 2020.\n\nSIA OSDP v2.2 aims to duplicate the contents and terminology that were required in the IEC standardisation process, harmonising the SIA published protocol series and the IEC standard. Future versions of OSDP will continue to follow the IEC formatting conventions, enabling the always-evolving work of the SIA SODP Working Group to be more easily adopted through the IEC standards process.\n\nwww.securityindustry.org<\/a>","post_title":"Version 2.2 of SIA OSDP standard unveiled","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"version-2-2-of-sia-osdp-standard-unveiled","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2020-12-17 12:30:13","post_modified_gmt":"2020-12-17 12:30:13","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4295","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4356,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2020-12-23 09:16:00","post_date_gmt":"2020-12-23 09:16:00","post_content":"In our series of 2021 predictions, Robin Hughes of Secure Logiq talks about video analytics.","post_title":"SOS 2021 Predictions | 'Video Analytics' with Secure Logiq","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"sos-2021-predictions-video-analytics-with-secure-logiq","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-01-23 10:49:50","post_modified_gmt":"2023-01-23 10:49:50","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4356","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4286,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2020-12-16 14:33:59","post_date_gmt":"2020-12-16 14:33:59","post_content":"Simon Wheeler and Neil Bain from Controlled.co.uk, discuss how the security industry may change in a post-pandemic world.","post_title":"SOS Opinion | Will the security industry return to normal after the pandemic?

The complete end-to-end solution offers protection at the perimeter, entrance and exit points, as well as close monitoring of the gaming hall and individual machines, guarding against break-ins and criminal damage as well as tampering and fraud.\n\nCasinos must be adequately protected, not just to secure the premises and protect against fraud or theft, but also to fulfil legal requirements set by the Gambling Commission and local authorities. Napoleons Casinos & Restaurants owners, The A&S Leisure Group Ltd, sought to employ a system that would incorporate the latest advancements in security, without the need to use multiple providers. Axis, together with its partner Brock Business Support, specified and deployed a solution which was customised to fully support the casino\u2019s requirements.\n\n\u201cWhen looking at the requirements of the new site, integration between the surveillance and access control systems was important, together with high quality images from the cameras, and immediate video play back with audio,\u201d explained Guy Hewson, Head of Security at The A&S Leisure Group Ltd. \u201cWe turned to Brock Business Support who, through its close working partnership with Axis Communications, was able to specify a system that could be tailor made for our requirements.\u201d\n\nThe project saw 100 cameras installed at the site, requiring six AXIS T8524 PoE+ network switches and recording on three servers, all driven by the AXIS Camera Station software running over four viewing stations. The staff entrance utilises an AXIS A8004-VE network video door station, and all staff are admitted after scanning using a biometric reader. Inside, AXIS M3065-V network mini dome cameras cover back of house areas, providing a wide-angle view.\n\nGaming tables, money exchange areas, bars and slot machines are monitored by AXIS P3375-V network cameras with built in two-way audio functionality. At the roulette wheels AXIS F1015 sensor units sit inside the table displays, providing a discrete full view with recording capabilities and images that are clear and sharp. Externally, the perimeter is covered by AXIS P3245-LVE fixed dome network cameras with AXIS Lightfinder technology, ideal for variable lighting and weather conditions.\n\n\u201cMultiple factors were taken into consideration during the installation of the many cameras and sensors across the Napoleons Casinos site, which meant meticulous planning, right down to considerations around connectivity,\u201d said Dave Brock, Managing Director, Brock Business Support. \u201cFor example, the use of AXIS Zipstream technology meant that Cat-5E cabling could be used, meaning no need to upgrade. This represented an immediate cost saving for the casino\u2019s owners.\u201d\n\nWith the ability to capture and export live video data in real-time for the authorities in the event of an incident, Axis\u2019 solution provides peace of mind for all at the site. Satisfied that the new system has met all of its objectives, The A&S Leisure Group Ltd now plans to review the technologies at its other four sites, implementing variations on the design employed so successfully at the Manchester premises.\n\nwww.axis.com<\/a>","post_title":"Axis creates end-to-end security and surveillance solution for Manchester casino","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"axis-creates-end-to-end-security-and-surveillance-solution-for-manchester-casino","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2020-11-18 14:45:57","post_modified_gmt":"2020-11-18 14:45:57","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4012","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":3975,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2020-11-13 16:27:22","post_date_gmt":"2020-11-13 16:27:22","post_content":"\n

         The 22nd ONVIF Developers\u2019 Plugfest took place this year as a virtual event in October. Nearly 50 developers and engineers from 26 ONVIF member companies gathered virtually over two weeks in and completed nearly 200 hours of testing. Developers could test products independently for profile conformance, as well as assess interoperability between their devices and those from other manufacturers.
         
         \u201cLike so many other organisations, ONVIF has had to adapt to new ways of collaborating and exchanging ideas,\u201d said Per Bj\u00f6rkdahl, chair of the ONVIF Steering Committee. \u201cInteroperability doesn\u2019t happen in a vacuum and, while nothing will replace valuable face-to-face interaction with our members, we are grateful for the continued participation of member companies in supporting ONVIF profile conformance.\u201d
         
         Profiles tested at this event include Profile A for access control configuration, Profile C for door control and event management, Profile S for basic video streaming, Profile T for advanced video streaming, Profile G for edge storage and retrieval, Profile Q for quick installation and the Profile M Release Candidate for metadata and analytics for smart applications.
         
         ONVIF Developers\u2019 Plugfests are typically held twice a year around the world, allowing the global members to gather and test their implementations. Due to the uncertain nature of the COVID-19 pandemic, details of the 23rd virtual ONVIF Developers\u2019 Plugfest will be announced at a later date.

            The Security Systems and Alarms Inspection Board (SSAIB) have achieved accreditation for BAFE's SP207 scheme for emergency evacuation systems - used by Fire and Rescue services to prioritise evacuation from residential high rise buildings and ensure people at risk in endangered areas can be safely evacuated. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

            The new development from BAFE covers the design, installation, commissioning and maintenance of emergency evacuations systems that will help to provide quality evidence of competency to deliver these services, while also supporting British Standard 8629 Evacuation Alert Systems for use by fire and rescue services in buildings containing flats. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

            \"Developed in response to a recommendation from the Grenfell Tower Phase 1 inquiry report, it is likely to become a requirement that you will need to be third-party certified to work on emergency evacuation systems going forward,\" said Keith Strugnell, SSAIB Fire Scheme Manager. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

            \"However, despite it being a brand new scheme, existing SSAIB-registered SP203-1 firms will find it comparable to their own scheme \u2013 as it utilises a similar format, albeit that the scheme document has been changed to make it more relevant to emergency evacuation systems. Therefore, in theory, you will satisfy the requirements for SP207 by default if you already have SP203-1.\" <\/p>\n\n\n\n

            BAFE announced the scheme in the final quarter of 2020 and Keith went on to reveal that the leading UKAS-accredited certification body for the fire and security industries acted promptly to ensure that the organisation could add SP207 to its existing catalogue of BAFE fire schemes.
            
            Keith continued: \u201cWith regards to SSAIB, we completed training with BS 8629:2019 for our auditors and scheduled several pilot audits for those initial companies to achieve certification for this latest scheme that we provide certification for to the fire industry. We then collated all of the necessary criteria that was needed for our information packs and then we were ready to go.\"
            
            BAFE\u2019s director of schemes, Chris Auger, added: \u201cThe demand shown following the MHCLG consultation is unprecedented and represents a far greater awareness of systems and competency of their installers required following the tragedy of the Grenfell Tower Fire.
            
            \u201cWith the work BAFE have performed in conjunction with the industry and Fire and Rescue Service, we are pleased to offer a route to achieving this important third-party certification. Quality evidence of competency is going to have far greater scrutiny for everyone working in high-rise blocks in the very near future which can only be a good thing. This scheme will fill this crucial gap in providing confidence to specifiers knowing they are fulfilling their due diligence and continuing the \u2018golden thread\u2019 of accountability for the life safety of residents within the building.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            \u201cThe expanding portfolio of BAFE schemes represents the necessity of quality evidence of competency required for niche, but extremely important, areas of the industry. Third-party certification is going to be a key focus of attention for the built environment moving forward and BAFE need to position itself to offer schemes that are both needed and, reflect the current concerns of occupants, regulators, service providers and building owners\/managers.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            The Mausoleum of Qin Shihuangdi in the city of Xi\u2019an has been outfitted with a comprehensive intrusion alarm system from Bosch Building Technologies. The Unesco World Heritage Site is home to a 2,000-year-old army of clay statues, the world-famous Terracotta Warriors, guarding the tomb of China\u2019s first emperor. Several hundred TriTech motion detectors are deployed to protect the 16,300-square-foot museum against theft and damage. According to the manufacturer, these detectors prevent costly and time-consuming false alarms under challenging environmental conditions, while providing detection reliability of real alarms. Because of the intrusion detection system, which detects and reports any unauthorised intrusion into the security areas to security personnel in less than two seconds, the museum can dispense entirely with physical protective barriers such as glass walls.<\/p>\n

            \u201cThe cooperation with Bosch is an excellent showcase of modern high-tech protection of historic buildings,\u201d said Ren Xuxin, Project Manager of Xi\u2019an Terracotta Warriors and Horses Pit Security Upgrade Project. \u201cBosch intrusion alarm systems help to upgrade the security level of these unique historic sites.\u201d<\/p>\n

            As wall detectors, the TriTech motion detectors protect the pits where the terracotta warriors are located. Because these pits collect large amounts of dust that could cause false alarms, the intelligent sensor data fusion algorithm in each of the detectors checks potential alarms with PIR sensor and microwave Doppler radar for a consistent result. The area to be protected is also secured from above by ceiling-mounted TriTech motion detectors located 4.8m above the museum floor.<\/p>\n

            In the event of an actual security breach, the Bosch G-Series system controller sends an alert, including the location of the triggered detector, to the security team in the control room, which uses live images from a video system to verify the alarm. In most cases, tourists trigger an alarm when they cross a threshold to retrieve their cameras or smartphones that have accidentally fallen into the pit. In doing so, there is a risk of damage to the priceless terracotta warriors.<\/p>\n

            The TriTech motion detectors provide round-the-clock protection for the museum, which is visited by thousands of people every day. In accordance with the museum operator\u2019s list of requirements, the intrusion detection system protects not only the museum, including the perimeter, as well as the visitor areas of the mausoleum, but additionally the cultural treasures currently stored in the unmanned warehouse.<\/p>\nwww.boschbuildingtechnologies.com<\/a>","post_title":"Bosch intrusion alarm solution protects Chinese terracotta warriors","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"bosch-intrusion-alarm-solution-protects-chinese-terracotta-warriors","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-03-09 11:17:38","post_modified_gmt":"2021-03-09 11:17:38","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=5228","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":5179,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-03-05 09:32:12","post_date_gmt":"2021-03-05 09:32:12","post_content":"Ditek has promoted Wendy Gattis to Chief Executive Officer.

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":4851,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-02-08 16:44:28","post_date_gmt":"2021-02-08 16:44:28","post_content":"Motorola Solutions has added to its video security and analytics portfolio with the Artificial Intelligence Network Video Recorder (AI NVR).

While 70% of 1,000 senior decision makers in IT, security, FM and HR roles agree this to be the case, 78% also anticipate their organisations\u2019 use of cloud technologies to increase in the future as a result of Covid-19.\n\nMorphean commissioned the independent survey which revealed that over three-quarters (76%) of senior managers in UK, Germany and Sweden have increased their use of video conferencing (e.g. Microsoft Teams); 65% have increased their use of office applications (e.g. Microsoft 365); and 70% of those in the security sector are now strongly inclined towards cloud adoption.\n\n51% say their company is currently using a cloud-based service for video surveillance (VSaaS) and\/or access control (ACaaS). This is an increase of 3% over 2019 (48%) and broadly reflects projected growth in the physical security market from US$93.5 billion in 2020 to US$120.3 billion by 2025 at a CAGR of 5.2%. The accelerating adoption of hosted solutions is buoyed by its low cost set up, flexible scalability and demand for real-time and remote access to security data.\n\n\u201cThe results highlight a hosted physical security market that will see strong growth in 2021 as cloud applications are proven to deliver business continuity in challenging times,\u201d said Rodrigue Zbinden, CEO of Morphean SA. \u201cAt the height of the lockdown, many business premises were unoccupied and potentially vulnerable, but remote monitoring and maintenance made possible by hosted security were a welcome advantage. We also saw a spike in demand for frictionless access control enabling a totally hands-free experience and negating the need for physical contact. Business leaders will now be considering the learnings from the past year and looking to apply them to boost productivity, streamline costs and make organisations more agile.\u201d\n\nFor security professionals already working with cloud services, the growth in connected digital devices through the IoT is resulting in an increased appetite for physical security, such as network cameras, to enhance existing IT systems and assist business intelligence gathering. The report shows that 95% agree that if an existing security system could deliver insights beyond security to assist decision making (i.e. occupancy or test and trace analytics), it would influence adoption.\n\nMore flexibility in working locations is the benefit respondents are most likely to identify from moving business functions to the cloud (50%), followed by easier collaboration (44%); more cost-effective (44%); safer\/better security (38%). It was found that 82% anticipate the levels\/frequency of remote workers and flexible working in their organisations to be higher post-pandemic and in the longer term than they were pre-pandemic.\n\nSecurity will need to be enhanced to facilitate greater flexibility in worker patterns. An access control solution which is linked to HR records, for example, can check the swipe of an access card against staff records. A staff member who is flagged as being on leave, absent or no longer employed will trigger an automated alert to the relevant personnel. Surveillance cameras also provide secondary authentication through visual clarification of an individual\u2019s identity.\n\n\u201cFor the physical security reseller, the study will demonstrate that hosted security solutions must play a major part in expanding their offering to a wiser customer base,\u201d said Zbinden. \u201cCloud-enabled physical security solutions represent an investment into improving security and operations, a chance to forge new business relationships, and an opportunity to embrace future proof technologies in preparation for whatever challenges the future might hold.\u201d\n\nRead the full report here<\/a>.\n\nwww.morphean.com<\/a>\n\n ","post_title":"Hosted video and access control sees sharp rise during the pandemic","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"hosted-video-and-access-control-sees-sharp-rise-during-the-pandemic","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-02 11:52:46","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-02 11:52:46","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4788","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4735,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-29 14:31:33","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-29 14:31:33","post_content":"Paxton is using online face-to-face training to offer installers the opportunity to understand and implement the latest updates to its flagship access control system Net2, and newest combined access control and video management system, Paxton10.

Now they cannot, and we are back in a national lockdown, so we have made sure there is still the same level of opportunity for installers to continue learning and be guided by Paxton experts.\u201d\n\nThe manufacturer is running live virtual sessions throughout the lockdown period, as well as bespoke virtual training for companies that require online group learning, or a tailored course to help with specific projects they are working on.\n\n\u201cI have worked in training myself in the past and attended many training sessions, both remotely and face-to-face,\u201d said Chris Green, a Security Consultant at TVG Security who took part in one of the virtual classes. \u201cThis was honestly the best I have ever attended. Paxton\u2019s ability to keep an audience engaged for over two hours is unparalleled. I am inspired to attend more sessions.\u201d\n\nThe courses have been designed to show installers how to install and configure Paxton hardware and reportedly offer a different experience from the manufacturer\u2019s webinars that ran throughout 2020. Installers are encouraged to interact with the trainers and other participants. Paxton trainers use a combination of presentation and demonstration, as well as provide the opportunity to get hands-on with Paxton systems using guided software instruction.\n\nAlongside the new face-to-face virtual training programme, Paxton is providing installers with 30 days of free access to the Paxton Learning Portal.\n\nRegister for Net2 or Paxton10 virtual courses here<\/a>.\n\nwww.paxton-access.com<\/a>","post_title":"Paxton offers installers online face-to-face training","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"paxton-offers-installers-online-face-to-face-training","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=4735","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4727,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-29 10:48:58","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-29 10:48:58","post_content":"Siemens Smart Infrastructure has unveiled a compact version of its Cerberus Pace Modular public address voice alarm (PA\/VA) solution. The manufacturer states that Cerberus Pace Modular and Compact offer a comprehensive PA\/VA solution, which can be integrated with fire protection and danger management systems. \n\n\u201cThanks to the Cerberus Pace systems, the user can cover all public and voice alarm needs with a single solution\u201d said Mario Kahlert, Head of Fire Safety at Siemens Smart Infrastructure. \u201cBy sharing the same state of the art technology as the modular system, but addressing small and simple applications, the Cerberus Pace Compact enables extensive customisation and is a cost-efficient solution for customers.\u201d \n\nThe range of potential applications covers any situation which require PA\/VA, including offices, hotels, airports, commercial facilities and educational buildings. As with the Modular system, Cerberus Pace Compact incorporates multiple redundancy levels and is also suitable for step-by-step modernisation of outdated systems. According to the manufacturer, the system\u2019s professional sound quality and low latency enable clear communication, both in emergency situations and for day-to-day announcements or music.\n\nCerberus Pace Compact is available in two versions: Compact 400 and Compact 1000. Wall mounted, despite its comparatively small size, Cerberus Pace Compact offers power of up to 2,000W and an additional backup amplifier and pilot tone amplifier. Cerberus Pace systems are fully compliant with the EN 54-16 standard and local codes of practice in European countries. The systems can cover all redundancy, ensuring there is adequate back-up. To support the safety-first approach, both high performing and reliable systems stand for no single point of failure, thanks to distributed intelligence, where each network participant has a CPU that allows the device to be made independent.\n\nCerberus Pace comes with dedicated configuration software and real-time engineering. The system can be configured live, while it is running, reportedly without causing any interruption to day-to-day activities. No shut down is necessary for maintenance or to change the configuration, with remote access ensuring business continuity, whatever the environment. \n\nCerberus Pace Compact can be combined with the Modular system using the same network and configuration tools to offer a wider choice of ancillary products (for example, amplifiers or audio matrix), while also enabling cost optimisation. In addition, both systems can be used for stepwise modernisations of older voice alarm systems (often using existing cabling), making it possible to futureproof the system to meet changing demands. Different connection options (loop, stub line, double stub lines, and even compatibility with star structures or T-taps) offer greater flexibility during the installation process.\n\nwww.siemens.com\/cerberus-pace<\/a>\n\n ","post_title":"Siemens launches compact PA\/VA solution","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"siemens-launches-compact-pa-va-solution","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-01-29 10:49:01","post_modified_gmt":"2021-01-29 10:49:01","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4727","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4633,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-21 18:40:49","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-21 18:40:49","post_content":"Montana State University-Northern is using Napco Security Technologies products in a school security project.

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":4609,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-19 15:02:03","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-19 15:02:03","post_content":"Simon Wheeler and Neil Bain from Controlled.co.uk discuss how systems integration contracts come to them and how they approach their relationships with clients.","post_title":"SOS Opinion | How Controlled.co.uk secure contracts in systems integration","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"sos-opinion-how-controlled-co-uk-secure-contracts-in-systems-integration","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-01-19 15:02:08","post_modified_gmt":"2021-01-19 15:02:08","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4609","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4597,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-18 12:03:55","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-18 12:03:55","post_content":"Bosch states that its new Autodome IP starlight 5100i offers enhanced image quality and built-in Artificial Intelligence (AI) to help operators react before a potential situation occurs. Designed for outdoor surveillance applications when light levels vary, the Autodome IP starlight 5100i has a new \u00bd inch camera sensor offering 4MP resolution and 20x optical zoom to detect people or objects at a maximum distance up to 1,676m.\n\nThe camera is equipped with advanced motion optimised High Dynamic Range (HDR-X) at 133dB and starlight technology, which the manufacturer states allows the camera to provide \u201cexceptional image quality during daytime and at lower light levels such as dusk and dawn without blurring of moving objects\u201d. The camera is weatherproof with vandal-resistant housing expanding its use to demanding city surveillance situations.\n\nBuilt-in AI, like video analytics, uses metadata to add sense and structure to video footage. Bosch states that this enables cameras to \u201cunderstand what they are seeing and gives customers a smart choice to know what is next\u201d.\n\nThe Autodome IP starlight 5100i camera comes with built-in Essential Video Analytics to deliver actionable insights that help operators react before a possible threat or unwanted situation occurs. This built-in AI captures relevant data for uses such as enforcing traffic regulations, detecting vehicles driving in the wrong direction, and delivering occupancy data, such as the number of vehicles entering and leaving a parking garage for smarter, more efficient parking. When idle, the camera can provide relevant, usable statistics like the number of people entering a specific area, analyse behavior, or assist in enforcing health and safety regulations such as raising awareness of a blocked emergency exit.\n\nHigher resolutions and frame rates, improved dynamic range, and enhanced light sensitivity are essential to capturing images that can distinguish individuals or objects for identification or proof. A unique feature of the Autodome IP starlight 5100i is the new \u00bd inch camera sensor offering 4MP resolution, 20x optical zoom, and durable housing to meet demanding applications, especially outdoors.\n\nThe AUTODOME\u2019s built-in starlight technology and HDR-X technology are described as an \u201cideal combination\u201d for this mid-range moving camera. Starlight technology enables the camera to capture colour detail when light levels drop to nearly zero and maximise low light performance. HDR-X eliminates shadows and balances uneven exposure with a dynamic range of 133dB. Operators can locate a person or object in motion at a distance up to 1,676m and can manually track individuals of interest as they move, regardless of speed, far beyond a fixed camera\u2019s field of view.\n\nAll Bosch video security cameras offer built-in AI as standard and connect to the Bosch cloud for remote maintenance and device management. Systems integrators can work with customers remotely to perform service when they cannot meet face to face.\n\nWith the free Bosch Project Assistant software, systems integrators are supported in the planning, pre-configuration, commissioning and reporting for video security projects without the need to be physically near the cameras. The Bosch Remote Portal offers secure device management, set up and health monitoring via the Bosch cloud from anywhere.\n\nBecause video data is often highly critical and sensitive, Bosch has a systematic approach to maximising data security centered on a built-in Trusted Platform Module to keep video data secure. With remote configuration, management and planning, systems integrators can reduce installation and set-up time and minimise the number of commutes, resulting in sustainable business practices that are economically viable, socially responsible and environmentally friendly.\n\nwww.boschsecurity.com<\/a>","post_title":"Bosch offers built-in AI with Autodome IP starlight 5100i video camera","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"bosch-offers-built-in-ai-with-autodome-ip-starlight-5100i-video-camera","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-01-18 12:04:00","post_modified_gmt":"2021-01-18 12:04:00","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4597","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.

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":4505,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-10 10:46:00","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-10 10:46:00","post_content":"Optex\u2019 range of Intelligent Passive Infrared (PIR) sensors have been deployed by Harper Security Systems to cover three properties in the UK Home Counties and Lincolnshire. The sensors are using a combination of the manufacturer\u2019s PIR sensors to protect property, people and other important assets including horses from the dangers of vandalism and theft.\n\n\u201cWe have worked with Optex for a number of years and have found their range of PIR sensors to be extremely accurate and reliable, which is critical when specifying external detection,\u201d said Alan Harper, Director at Harper Security Systems. \u201cThe flexibility and versatility of the sensors is such that they are ideal for multiple environments. For example, we have recently installed them at a private stables in Lincolnshire to protect horses and valuable equestrian equipment, residences in rural villages in both Bedfordshire and Hertfordshire to protect property and personal items, as well as in commercial business environments.\u201d\n\n\u201cReliable external protection is becoming increasingly important not only to secure equipment and assets, but also livestock and other animals like horses,\u201d added Ben Linklater, Sales Director at Optex Europe. \u201cThe earlier the detection the better chance there is to prevent intruders. External intrusion detection is essential in rural environments as most assets, many of which are expensive to replace (and some are irreplaceable), are stored outside.

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.

OSDP is an access control communications standard developed by SIA to improve interoperability among access control and security products.\n\nSIA OSDP version 2.2 features the messages and formatting that were included in the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) 60839-11-5 standard released earlier in 2020 and addresses some of the minor errata within that document. SIA OSDP version 2.2 replaces version 2.1.7 of the specification, released in 2015. The updates include an enhanced method for file transfer, which allows for the transfer of large data sets for firmware updates or graphics from an access control unit to a reader, clearer instructions for the implementation of SecureChannel to facilitate encrypted communications and updated messages for handling smartcard applications within the protocol.\n\nSIA OSDP version 2.2 is described as a bridge that allows for easier updates of the OSDP specification and the subsequent publishing of these enhancements as an international standard. SIA OSDP allows devices, such as card readers, control panels or other security management systems to work together, providing the security industry with a solution that moves far beyond the widely-used Wiegand standard in terms of security and functionality. A two-way channel and encryption pave the way for advanced security applications such as the handling of smart cards, biometrics and government applications that require Public Key Infrastructure or Federal Identity, Credential and Access Management requirements.\n\n\u201cSIA OSDP version 2.2 is a culmination of all of the work done over the past five years to prepare the protocol for international standardisation and fixes the majority of common implementation challenges faced by implementers of version 2.1.7,\u201d said Steve Rogers, co-chair of the SIA OSDP Working Group and president at IQ Devices.\n\nThe SIA OSDP standard is recommended for access control installations that require advanced security or will be used in government and other higher-security settings. In April 2020, SIA introduced SIA OSDP Verified, a comprehensive testing programme that validates a device\u2019s conformance to the SIA OSDP standard and related performance protocols. Maintained and developed by the SIA OSDP Working Group since 2011, the SIA OSDP standard was approved by the IEC technical committee on alarm and electronic security systems as an international standard in June 2020.\n\nSIA OSDP v2.2 aims to duplicate the contents and terminology that were required in the IEC standardisation process, harmonising the SIA published protocol series and the IEC standard. Future versions of OSDP will continue to follow the IEC formatting conventions, enabling the always-evolving work of the SIA SODP Working Group to be more easily adopted through the IEC standards process.\n\nwww.securityindustry.org<\/a>","post_title":"Version 2.2 of SIA OSDP standard unveiled","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"version-2-2-of-sia-osdp-standard-unveiled","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2020-12-17 12:30:13","post_modified_gmt":"2020-12-17 12:30:13","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4295","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4356,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2020-12-23 09:16:00","post_date_gmt":"2020-12-23 09:16:00","post_content":"In our series of 2021 predictions, Robin Hughes of Secure Logiq talks about video analytics.","post_title":"SOS 2021 Predictions | 'Video Analytics' with Secure Logiq","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"sos-2021-predictions-video-analytics-with-secure-logiq","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-01-23 10:49:50","post_modified_gmt":"2023-01-23 10:49:50","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4356","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4286,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2020-12-16 14:33:59","post_date_gmt":"2020-12-16 14:33:59","post_content":"Simon Wheeler and Neil Bain from Controlled.co.uk, discuss how the security industry may change in a post-pandemic world.","post_title":"SOS Opinion | Will the security industry return to normal after the pandemic?

The Martin Audio installation offers the right combination of power, reliability, quality and price that makes this installation such an impressive and successful experience for client and end user.\"\n\nwww.martin-audio.com<\/a>","post_title":"Highways England creates virtual training theatre","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"highways-england-creates-virtual-training-theatre","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2020-12-03 10:26:32","post_modified_gmt":"2020-12-03 10:26:32","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4137","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4098,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2020-11-30 16:53:15","post_date_gmt":"2020-11-30 16:53:15","post_content":"Suprema\u2019s intelligent biometric access controller CoreStation has acquired UL 294 compliance.

The app, which is available for iOS or Android devices, has been designed to consolidate useful widgets to make installation easier and provide sales and marketing support.\n\nThe Hik-ePartner app is a management platform where installers can get access to all Hikvision product information, promotions and marketing materials, as well as join a loyalty programme. According to the manufacturer, it offers straightforward product searches which allow installers to navigate using model names and numbers, product functions, and accessory options. Installers can also save their preferred products to a favourites list for later.\n\nThe app also offers a how to section where documents and videos can assist integrators with their daily work. An additional parameter and specifications calculating tool enables installers to recommend the most suitable products for their customers. Installers can also use the app to find all the go-to-market handouts such as infographics, One-Swipes (intuitive sales guides), and solution packages featuring small and medium sized businesses. Finally, push notifications provide sales promotions from Hikvision to help installers save money on Hikvision\u2019s latest products.\n\nHik-ePartner is also integrated with the Hik-ProConnect app. Installers using Hik-ProConnect can login to the Hik-ePartner platform with the same account, creating a smoother workflow for installers.\n\nwww.hikvision.com <\/a>","post_title":"Hikvision unveils Hik-ePartner App for installers","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"hikvision-unveils-hik-epartner-app-for-installers","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2020-11-27 15:52:25","post_modified_gmt":"2020-11-27 15:52:25","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4073","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4067,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2020-11-27 14:48:12","post_date_gmt":"2020-11-27 14:48:12","post_content":"Assa Abloy Entrance Systems supplied an array of doors throughout the recently completed Robins & Day Peugeot West London dealership at Chiswick, London.

The complete end-to-end solution offers protection at the perimeter, entrance and exit points, as well as close monitoring of the gaming hall and individual machines, guarding against break-ins and criminal damage as well as tampering and fraud.\n\nCasinos must be adequately protected, not just to secure the premises and protect against fraud or theft, but also to fulfil legal requirements set by the Gambling Commission and local authorities. Napoleons Casinos & Restaurants owners, The A&S Leisure Group Ltd, sought to employ a system that would incorporate the latest advancements in security, without the need to use multiple providers. Axis, together with its partner Brock Business Support, specified and deployed a solution which was customised to fully support the casino\u2019s requirements.\n\n\u201cWhen looking at the requirements of the new site, integration between the surveillance and access control systems was important, together with high quality images from the cameras, and immediate video play back with audio,\u201d explained Guy Hewson, Head of Security at The A&S Leisure Group Ltd. \u201cWe turned to Brock Business Support who, through its close working partnership with Axis Communications, was able to specify a system that could be tailor made for our requirements.\u201d\n\nThe project saw 100 cameras installed at the site, requiring six AXIS T8524 PoE+ network switches and recording on three servers, all driven by the AXIS Camera Station software running over four viewing stations. The staff entrance utilises an AXIS A8004-VE network video door station, and all staff are admitted after scanning using a biometric reader. Inside, AXIS M3065-V network mini dome cameras cover back of house areas, providing a wide-angle view.\n\nGaming tables, money exchange areas, bars and slot machines are monitored by AXIS P3375-V network cameras with built in two-way audio functionality. At the roulette wheels AXIS F1015 sensor units sit inside the table displays, providing a discrete full view with recording capabilities and images that are clear and sharp. Externally, the perimeter is covered by AXIS P3245-LVE fixed dome network cameras with AXIS Lightfinder technology, ideal for variable lighting and weather conditions.\n\n\u201cMultiple factors were taken into consideration during the installation of the many cameras and sensors across the Napoleons Casinos site, which meant meticulous planning, right down to considerations around connectivity,\u201d said Dave Brock, Managing Director, Brock Business Support. \u201cFor example, the use of AXIS Zipstream technology meant that Cat-5E cabling could be used, meaning no need to upgrade. This represented an immediate cost saving for the casino\u2019s owners.\u201d\n\nWith the ability to capture and export live video data in real-time for the authorities in the event of an incident, Axis\u2019 solution provides peace of mind for all at the site. Satisfied that the new system has met all of its objectives, The A&S Leisure Group Ltd now plans to review the technologies at its other four sites, implementing variations on the design employed so successfully at the Manchester premises.\n\nwww.axis.com<\/a>","post_title":"Axis creates end-to-end security and surveillance solution for Manchester casino","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"axis-creates-end-to-end-security-and-surveillance-solution-for-manchester-casino","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2020-11-18 14:45:57","post_modified_gmt":"2020-11-18 14:45:57","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4012","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":3975,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2020-11-13 16:27:22","post_date_gmt":"2020-11-13 16:27:22","post_content":"\n

            The 22nd ONVIF Developers\u2019 Plugfest took place this year as a virtual event in October. Nearly 50 developers and engineers from 26 ONVIF member companies gathered virtually over two weeks in and completed nearly 200 hours of testing. Developers could test products independently for profile conformance, as well as assess interoperability between their devices and those from other manufacturers.
            
            \u201cLike so many other organisations, ONVIF has had to adapt to new ways of collaborating and exchanging ideas,\u201d said Per Bj\u00f6rkdahl, chair of the ONVIF Steering Committee. \u201cInteroperability doesn\u2019t happen in a vacuum and, while nothing will replace valuable face-to-face interaction with our members, we are grateful for the continued participation of member companies in supporting ONVIF profile conformance.\u201d
            
            Profiles tested at this event include Profile A for access control configuration, Profile C for door control and event management, Profile S for basic video streaming, Profile T for advanced video streaming, Profile G for edge storage and retrieval, Profile Q for quick installation and the Profile M Release Candidate for metadata and analytics for smart applications.
            
            ONVIF Developers\u2019 Plugfests are typically held twice a year around the world, allowing the global members to gather and test their implementations. Due to the uncertain nature of the COVID-19 pandemic, details of the 23rd virtual ONVIF Developers\u2019 Plugfest will be announced at a later date.

               The Security Systems and Alarms Inspection Board (SSAIB) have achieved accreditation for BAFE's SP207 scheme for emergency evacuation systems - used by Fire and Rescue services to prioritise evacuation from residential high rise buildings and ensure people at risk in endangered areas can be safely evacuated. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

               The new development from BAFE covers the design, installation, commissioning and maintenance of emergency evacuations systems that will help to provide quality evidence of competency to deliver these services, while also supporting British Standard 8629 Evacuation Alert Systems for use by fire and rescue services in buildings containing flats. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

               \"Developed in response to a recommendation from the Grenfell Tower Phase 1 inquiry report, it is likely to become a requirement that you will need to be third-party certified to work on emergency evacuation systems going forward,\" said Keith Strugnell, SSAIB Fire Scheme Manager. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

               \"However, despite it being a brand new scheme, existing SSAIB-registered SP203-1 firms will find it comparable to their own scheme \u2013 as it utilises a similar format, albeit that the scheme document has been changed to make it more relevant to emergency evacuation systems. Therefore, in theory, you will satisfy the requirements for SP207 by default if you already have SP203-1.\" <\/p>\n\n\n\n

               BAFE announced the scheme in the final quarter of 2020 and Keith went on to reveal that the leading UKAS-accredited certification body for the fire and security industries acted promptly to ensure that the organisation could add SP207 to its existing catalogue of BAFE fire schemes.
               
               Keith continued: \u201cWith regards to SSAIB, we completed training with BS 8629:2019 for our auditors and scheduled several pilot audits for those initial companies to achieve certification for this latest scheme that we provide certification for to the fire industry. We then collated all of the necessary criteria that was needed for our information packs and then we were ready to go.\"
               
               BAFE\u2019s director of schemes, Chris Auger, added: \u201cThe demand shown following the MHCLG consultation is unprecedented and represents a far greater awareness of systems and competency of their installers required following the tragedy of the Grenfell Tower Fire.
               
               \u201cWith the work BAFE have performed in conjunction with the industry and Fire and Rescue Service, we are pleased to offer a route to achieving this important third-party certification. Quality evidence of competency is going to have far greater scrutiny for everyone working in high-rise blocks in the very near future which can only be a good thing. This scheme will fill this crucial gap in providing confidence to specifiers knowing they are fulfilling their due diligence and continuing the \u2018golden thread\u2019 of accountability for the life safety of residents within the building.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

               \u201cThe expanding portfolio of BAFE schemes represents the necessity of quality evidence of competency required for niche, but extremely important, areas of the industry. Third-party certification is going to be a key focus of attention for the built environment moving forward and BAFE need to position itself to offer schemes that are both needed and, reflect the current concerns of occupants, regulators, service providers and building owners\/managers.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

               The Mausoleum of Qin Shihuangdi in the city of Xi\u2019an has been outfitted with a comprehensive intrusion alarm system from Bosch Building Technologies. The Unesco World Heritage Site is home to a 2,000-year-old army of clay statues, the world-famous Terracotta Warriors, guarding the tomb of China\u2019s first emperor. Several hundred TriTech motion detectors are deployed to protect the 16,300-square-foot museum against theft and damage. According to the manufacturer, these detectors prevent costly and time-consuming false alarms under challenging environmental conditions, while providing detection reliability of real alarms. Because of the intrusion detection system, which detects and reports any unauthorised intrusion into the security areas to security personnel in less than two seconds, the museum can dispense entirely with physical protective barriers such as glass walls.<\/p>\n

               \u201cThe cooperation with Bosch is an excellent showcase of modern high-tech protection of historic buildings,\u201d said Ren Xuxin, Project Manager of Xi\u2019an Terracotta Warriors and Horses Pit Security Upgrade Project. \u201cBosch intrusion alarm systems help to upgrade the security level of these unique historic sites.\u201d<\/p>\n

               As wall detectors, the TriTech motion detectors protect the pits where the terracotta warriors are located. Because these pits collect large amounts of dust that could cause false alarms, the intelligent sensor data fusion algorithm in each of the detectors checks potential alarms with PIR sensor and microwave Doppler radar for a consistent result. The area to be protected is also secured from above by ceiling-mounted TriTech motion detectors located 4.8m above the museum floor.<\/p>\n

               In the event of an actual security breach, the Bosch G-Series system controller sends an alert, including the location of the triggered detector, to the security team in the control room, which uses live images from a video system to verify the alarm. In most cases, tourists trigger an alarm when they cross a threshold to retrieve their cameras or smartphones that have accidentally fallen into the pit. In doing so, there is a risk of damage to the priceless terracotta warriors.<\/p>\n

               The TriTech motion detectors provide round-the-clock protection for the museum, which is visited by thousands of people every day. In accordance with the museum operator\u2019s list of requirements, the intrusion detection system protects not only the museum, including the perimeter, as well as the visitor areas of the mausoleum, but additionally the cultural treasures currently stored in the unmanned warehouse.<\/p>\nwww.boschbuildingtechnologies.com<\/a>","post_title":"Bosch intrusion alarm solution protects Chinese terracotta warriors","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"bosch-intrusion-alarm-solution-protects-chinese-terracotta-warriors","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-03-09 11:17:38","post_modified_gmt":"2021-03-09 11:17:38","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=5228","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":5179,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-03-05 09:32:12","post_date_gmt":"2021-03-05 09:32:12","post_content":"Ditek has promoted Wendy Gattis to Chief Executive Officer.

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":4851,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-02-08 16:44:28","post_date_gmt":"2021-02-08 16:44:28","post_content":"Motorola Solutions has added to its video security and analytics portfolio with the Artificial Intelligence Network Video Recorder (AI NVR).

CertAlarm is now able to offer these certifications.\n\nBack in 2018, The Technical Committee CEN\/TC 72 released two common standards \u2013 EN 54-5: 2017 + A1:2018, \u201cHeat detectors \u2013 Point heat detectors\u201d, and 54-7: 2018, \u201cSmoke detectors \u2013 Point smoke detectors that operate using scattered light, transmitted light or ionisation\u201d. Following this, the European Commission cited them in the OJEU in 2019. The updated provisions include increased requirements for the EMC-resilience of detectors.\n\nBoth updated standards are mandatory for products that are sold throughout the EU from the end of the transition period on August 31, 2022. That means that all manufacturers should now start with the update of their corresponding external certificates and internal declarations by applying the latest version of EN 54-5 and EN 54-7 to their products. In due course, all manufacturers of heat and smoke detectors will be required to apply to authorised Notified Bodies for a Certificate of Constancy of Performance to the new revisions, enabling them to update their DoPs (Declaration of Performance).\n\nThe majority of CertAlarm partners have been accredited by their national Accreditation Bodies and notified by the EU for testing and certification based on the two harmonised norms and can now fully support manufacturers in obtaining the respective certificates.\n\n\u201cWe want to provide a comprehensive, competitive and time-saving support to manufacturers by offering all relevant testing and certification services as a one-stop solution which is valid throughout Europe,\u201d said Anja Kinsky, General Manager of CertAlarm. \u201cWe\u2019re therefore pleased to announce that we also cover these new certification requirements.\u201d\n\nwww.certalarm.org<\/a>","post_title":"CertAlarm partners accredited new EN 54-5 and 54-7 standards","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"certalarm-partners-accredited-new-en-54-5-and-54-7-standards","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-03 16:06:31","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-03 16:06:31","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4816","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4788,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-02-02 11:52:44","post_date_gmt":"2021-02-02 11:52:44","post_content":"There has been a sharp increase in the necessity for businesses to adopt hosted video surveillance (VSaaS) and access control (ACaaS) solutions according to new research into the impact of Covid-19 on physical security purchasing decisions. While 70% of 1,000 senior decision makers in IT, security, FM and HR roles agree this to be the case, 78% also anticipate their organisations\u2019 use of cloud technologies to increase in the future as a result of Covid-19.\n\nMorphean commissioned the independent survey which revealed that over three-quarters (76%) of senior managers in UK, Germany and Sweden have increased their use of video conferencing (e.g. Microsoft Teams); 65% have increased their use of office applications (e.g. Microsoft 365); and 70% of those in the security sector are now strongly inclined towards cloud adoption.\n\n51% say their company is currently using a cloud-based service for video surveillance (VSaaS) and\/or access control (ACaaS). This is an increase of 3% over 2019 (48%) and broadly reflects projected growth in the physical security market from US$93.5 billion in 2020 to US$120.3 billion by 2025 at a CAGR of 5.2%. The accelerating adoption of hosted solutions is buoyed by its low cost set up, flexible scalability and demand for real-time and remote access to security data.\n\n\u201cThe results highlight a hosted physical security market that will see strong growth in 2021 as cloud applications are proven to deliver business continuity in challenging times,\u201d said Rodrigue Zbinden, CEO of Morphean SA. \u201cAt the height of the lockdown, many business premises were unoccupied and potentially vulnerable, but remote monitoring and maintenance made possible by hosted security were a welcome advantage. We also saw a spike in demand for frictionless access control enabling a totally hands-free experience and negating the need for physical contact. Business leaders will now be considering the learnings from the past year and looking to apply them to boost productivity, streamline costs and make organisations more agile.\u201d\n\nFor security professionals already working with cloud services, the growth in connected digital devices through the IoT is resulting in an increased appetite for physical security, such as network cameras, to enhance existing IT systems and assist business intelligence gathering. The report shows that 95% agree that if an existing security system could deliver insights beyond security to assist decision making (i.e. occupancy or test and trace analytics), it would influence adoption.\n\nMore flexibility in working locations is the benefit respondents are most likely to identify from moving business functions to the cloud (50%), followed by easier collaboration (44%); more cost-effective (44%); safer\/better security (38%). It was found that 82% anticipate the levels\/frequency of remote workers and flexible working in their organisations to be higher post-pandemic and in the longer term than they were pre-pandemic.\n\nSecurity will need to be enhanced to facilitate greater flexibility in worker patterns. An access control solution which is linked to HR records, for example, can check the swipe of an access card against staff records. A staff member who is flagged as being on leave, absent or no longer employed will trigger an automated alert to the relevant personnel. Surveillance cameras also provide secondary authentication through visual clarification of an individual\u2019s identity.\n\n\u201cFor the physical security reseller, the study will demonstrate that hosted security solutions must play a major part in expanding their offering to a wiser customer base,\u201d said Zbinden. \u201cCloud-enabled physical security solutions represent an investment into improving security and operations, a chance to forge new business relationships, and an opportunity to embrace future proof technologies in preparation for whatever challenges the future might hold.\u201d\n\nRead the full report here<\/a>.\n\nwww.morphean.com<\/a>\n\n ","post_title":"Hosted video and access control sees sharp rise during the pandemic","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"hosted-video-and-access-control-sees-sharp-rise-during-the-pandemic","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-02 11:52:46","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-02 11:52:46","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4788","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4735,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-29 14:31:33","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-29 14:31:33","post_content":"Paxton is using online face-to-face training to offer installers the opportunity to understand and implement the latest updates to its flagship access control system Net2, and newest combined access control and video management system, Paxton10.

The manufacturer states that Cerberus Pace Modular and Compact offer a comprehensive PA\/VA solution, which can be integrated with fire protection and danger management systems. \n\n\u201cThanks to the Cerberus Pace systems, the user can cover all public and voice alarm needs with a single solution\u201d said Mario Kahlert, Head of Fire Safety at Siemens Smart Infrastructure. \u201cBy sharing the same state of the art technology as the modular system, but addressing small and simple applications, the Cerberus Pace Compact enables extensive customisation and is a cost-efficient solution for customers.\u201d \n\nThe range of potential applications covers any situation which require PA\/VA, including offices, hotels, airports, commercial facilities and educational buildings. As with the Modular system, Cerberus Pace Compact incorporates multiple redundancy levels and is also suitable for step-by-step modernisation of outdated systems. According to the manufacturer, the system\u2019s professional sound quality and low latency enable clear communication, both in emergency situations and for day-to-day announcements or music.\n\nCerberus Pace Compact is available in two versions: Compact 400 and Compact 1000. Wall mounted, despite its comparatively small size, Cerberus Pace Compact offers power of up to 2,000W and an additional backup amplifier and pilot tone amplifier. Cerberus Pace systems are fully compliant with the EN 54-16 standard and local codes of practice in European countries. The systems can cover all redundancy, ensuring there is adequate back-up. To support the safety-first approach, both high performing and reliable systems stand for no single point of failure, thanks to distributed intelligence, where each network participant has a CPU that allows the device to be made independent.\n\nCerberus Pace comes with dedicated configuration software and real-time engineering. The system can be configured live, while it is running, reportedly without causing any interruption to day-to-day activities. No shut down is necessary for maintenance or to change the configuration, with remote access ensuring business continuity, whatever the environment. \n\nCerberus Pace Compact can be combined with the Modular system using the same network and configuration tools to offer a wider choice of ancillary products (for example, amplifiers or audio matrix), while also enabling cost optimisation. In addition, both systems can be used for stepwise modernisations of older voice alarm systems (often using existing cabling), making it possible to futureproof the system to meet changing demands. Different connection options (loop, stub line, double stub lines, and even compatibility with star structures or T-taps) offer greater flexibility during the installation process.\n\nwww.siemens.com\/cerberus-pace<\/a>\n\n ","post_title":"Siemens launches compact PA\/VA solution","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"siemens-launches-compact-pa-va-solution","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-01-29 10:49:01","post_modified_gmt":"2021-01-29 10:49:01","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4727","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4633,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-21 18:40:49","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-21 18:40:49","post_content":"Montana State University-Northern is using Napco Security Technologies products in a school security project.

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":4609,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-19 15:02:03","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-19 15:02:03","post_content":"Simon Wheeler and Neil Bain from Controlled.co.uk discuss how systems integration contracts come to them and how they approach their relationships with clients.","post_title":"SOS Opinion | How Controlled.co.uk secure contracts in systems integration","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"sos-opinion-how-controlled-co-uk-secure-contracts-in-systems-integration","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-01-19 15:02:08","post_modified_gmt":"2021-01-19 15:02:08","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4609","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4597,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-18 12:03:55","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-18 12:03:55","post_content":"Bosch states that its new Autodome IP starlight 5100i offers enhanced image quality and built-in Artificial Intelligence (AI) to help operators react before a potential situation occurs. Designed for outdoor surveillance applications when light levels vary, the Autodome IP starlight 5100i has a new \u00bd inch camera sensor offering 4MP resolution and 20x optical zoom to detect people or objects at a maximum distance up to 1,676m.\n\nThe camera is equipped with advanced motion optimised High Dynamic Range (HDR-X) at 133dB and starlight technology, which the manufacturer states allows the camera to provide \u201cexceptional image quality during daytime and at lower light levels such as dusk and dawn without blurring of moving objects\u201d. The camera is weatherproof with vandal-resistant housing expanding its use to demanding city surveillance situations.\n\nBuilt-in AI, like video analytics, uses metadata to add sense and structure to video footage. Bosch states that this enables cameras to \u201cunderstand what they are seeing and gives customers a smart choice to know what is next\u201d.\n\nThe Autodome IP starlight 5100i camera comes with built-in Essential Video Analytics to deliver actionable insights that help operators react before a possible threat or unwanted situation occurs. This built-in AI captures relevant data for uses such as enforcing traffic regulations, detecting vehicles driving in the wrong direction, and delivering occupancy data, such as the number of vehicles entering and leaving a parking garage for smarter, more efficient parking. When idle, the camera can provide relevant, usable statistics like the number of people entering a specific area, analyse behavior, or assist in enforcing health and safety regulations such as raising awareness of a blocked emergency exit.\n\nHigher resolutions and frame rates, improved dynamic range, and enhanced light sensitivity are essential to capturing images that can distinguish individuals or objects for identification or proof. A unique feature of the Autodome IP starlight 5100i is the new \u00bd inch camera sensor offering 4MP resolution, 20x optical zoom, and durable housing to meet demanding applications, especially outdoors.\n\nThe AUTODOME\u2019s built-in starlight technology and HDR-X technology are described as an \u201cideal combination\u201d for this mid-range moving camera. Starlight technology enables the camera to capture colour detail when light levels drop to nearly zero and maximise low light performance. HDR-X eliminates shadows and balances uneven exposure with a dynamic range of 133dB. Operators can locate a person or object in motion at a distance up to 1,676m and can manually track individuals of interest as they move, regardless of speed, far beyond a fixed camera\u2019s field of view.\n\nAll Bosch video security cameras offer built-in AI as standard and connect to the Bosch cloud for remote maintenance and device management. Systems integrators can work with customers remotely to perform service when they cannot meet face to face.\n\nWith the free Bosch Project Assistant software, systems integrators are supported in the planning, pre-configuration, commissioning and reporting for video security projects without the need to be physically near the cameras. The Bosch Remote Portal offers secure device management, set up and health monitoring via the Bosch cloud from anywhere.\n\nBecause video data is often highly critical and sensitive, Bosch has a systematic approach to maximising data security centered on a built-in Trusted Platform Module to keep video data secure. With remote configuration, management and planning, systems integrators can reduce installation and set-up time and minimise the number of commutes, resulting in sustainable business practices that are economically viable, socially responsible and environmentally friendly.\n\nwww.boschsecurity.com<\/a>","post_title":"Bosch offers built-in AI with Autodome IP starlight 5100i video camera","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"bosch-offers-built-in-ai-with-autodome-ip-starlight-5100i-video-camera","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-01-18 12:04:00","post_modified_gmt":"2021-01-18 12:04:00","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4597","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.

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":4505,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-10 10:46:00","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-10 10:46:00","post_content":"Optex\u2019 range of Intelligent Passive Infrared (PIR) sensors have been deployed by Harper Security Systems to cover three properties in the UK Home Counties and Lincolnshire.

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.

OSDP is an access control communications standard developed by SIA to improve interoperability among access control and security products.\n\nSIA OSDP version 2.2 features the messages and formatting that were included in the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) 60839-11-5 standard released earlier in 2020 and addresses some of the minor errata within that document. SIA OSDP version 2.2 replaces version 2.1.7 of the specification, released in 2015. The updates include an enhanced method for file transfer, which allows for the transfer of large data sets for firmware updates or graphics from an access control unit to a reader, clearer instructions for the implementation of SecureChannel to facilitate encrypted communications and updated messages for handling smartcard applications within the protocol.\n\nSIA OSDP version 2.2 is described as a bridge that allows for easier updates of the OSDP specification and the subsequent publishing of these enhancements as an international standard. SIA OSDP allows devices, such as card readers, control panels or other security management systems to work together, providing the security industry with a solution that moves far beyond the widely-used Wiegand standard in terms of security and functionality. A two-way channel and encryption pave the way for advanced security applications such as the handling of smart cards, biometrics and government applications that require Public Key Infrastructure or Federal Identity, Credential and Access Management requirements.\n\n\u201cSIA OSDP version 2.2 is a culmination of all of the work done over the past five years to prepare the protocol for international standardisation and fixes the majority of common implementation challenges faced by implementers of version 2.1.7,\u201d said Steve Rogers, co-chair of the SIA OSDP Working Group and president at IQ Devices.\n\nThe SIA OSDP standard is recommended for access control installations that require advanced security or will be used in government and other higher-security settings. In April 2020, SIA introduced SIA OSDP Verified, a comprehensive testing programme that validates a device\u2019s conformance to the SIA OSDP standard and related performance protocols. Maintained and developed by the SIA OSDP Working Group since 2011, the SIA OSDP standard was approved by the IEC technical committee on alarm and electronic security systems as an international standard in June 2020.\n\nSIA OSDP v2.2 aims to duplicate the contents and terminology that were required in the IEC standardisation process, harmonising the SIA published protocol series and the IEC standard. Future versions of OSDP will continue to follow the IEC formatting conventions, enabling the always-evolving work of the SIA SODP Working Group to be more easily adopted through the IEC standards process.\n\nwww.securityindustry.org<\/a>","post_title":"Version 2.2 of SIA OSDP standard unveiled","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"version-2-2-of-sia-osdp-standard-unveiled","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2020-12-17 12:30:13","post_modified_gmt":"2020-12-17 12:30:13","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4295","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4356,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2020-12-23 09:16:00","post_date_gmt":"2020-12-23 09:16:00","post_content":"In our series of 2021 predictions, Robin Hughes of Secure Logiq talks about video analytics.","post_title":"SOS 2021 Predictions | 'Video Analytics' with Secure Logiq","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"sos-2021-predictions-video-analytics-with-secure-logiq","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-01-23 10:49:50","post_modified_gmt":"2023-01-23 10:49:50","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4356","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4286,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2020-12-16 14:33:59","post_date_gmt":"2020-12-16 14:33:59","post_content":"Simon Wheeler and Neil Bain from Controlled.co.uk, discuss how the security industry may change in a post-pandemic world.","post_title":"SOS Opinion | Will the security industry return to normal after the pandemic?

The complete end-to-end solution offers protection at the perimeter, entrance and exit points, as well as close monitoring of the gaming hall and individual machines, guarding against break-ins and criminal damage as well as tampering and fraud.\n\nCasinos must be adequately protected, not just to secure the premises and protect against fraud or theft, but also to fulfil legal requirements set by the Gambling Commission and local authorities. Napoleons Casinos & Restaurants owners, The A&S Leisure Group Ltd, sought to employ a system that would incorporate the latest advancements in security, without the need to use multiple providers. Axis, together with its partner Brock Business Support, specified and deployed a solution which was customised to fully support the casino\u2019s requirements.\n\n\u201cWhen looking at the requirements of the new site, integration between the surveillance and access control systems was important, together with high quality images from the cameras, and immediate video play back with audio,\u201d explained Guy Hewson, Head of Security at The A&S Leisure Group Ltd. \u201cWe turned to Brock Business Support who, through its close working partnership with Axis Communications, was able to specify a system that could be tailor made for our requirements.\u201d\n\nThe project saw 100 cameras installed at the site, requiring six AXIS T8524 PoE+ network switches and recording on three servers, all driven by the AXIS Camera Station software running over four viewing stations. The staff entrance utilises an AXIS A8004-VE network video door station, and all staff are admitted after scanning using a biometric reader. Inside, AXIS M3065-V network mini dome cameras cover back of house areas, providing a wide-angle view.\n\nGaming tables, money exchange areas, bars and slot machines are monitored by AXIS P3375-V network cameras with built in two-way audio functionality. At the roulette wheels AXIS F1015 sensor units sit inside the table displays, providing a discrete full view with recording capabilities and images that are clear and sharp. Externally, the perimeter is covered by AXIS P3245-LVE fixed dome network cameras with AXIS Lightfinder technology, ideal for variable lighting and weather conditions.\n\n\u201cMultiple factors were taken into consideration during the installation of the many cameras and sensors across the Napoleons Casinos site, which meant meticulous planning, right down to considerations around connectivity,\u201d said Dave Brock, Managing Director, Brock Business Support. \u201cFor example, the use of AXIS Zipstream technology meant that Cat-5E cabling could be used, meaning no need to upgrade. This represented an immediate cost saving for the casino\u2019s owners.\u201d\n\nWith the ability to capture and export live video data in real-time for the authorities in the event of an incident, Axis\u2019 solution provides peace of mind for all at the site. Satisfied that the new system has met all of its objectives, The A&S Leisure Group Ltd now plans to review the technologies at its other four sites, implementing variations on the design employed so successfully at the Manchester premises.\n\nwww.axis.com<\/a>","post_title":"Axis creates end-to-end security and surveillance solution for Manchester casino","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"axis-creates-end-to-end-security-and-surveillance-solution-for-manchester-casino","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2020-11-18 14:45:57","post_modified_gmt":"2020-11-18 14:45:57","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4012","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":3975,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2020-11-13 16:27:22","post_date_gmt":"2020-11-13 16:27:22","post_content":"\n

               The 22nd ONVIF Developers\u2019 Plugfest took place this year as a virtual event in October. Nearly 50 developers and engineers from 26 ONVIF member companies gathered virtually over two weeks in and completed nearly 200 hours of testing. Developers could test products independently for profile conformance, as well as assess interoperability between their devices and those from other manufacturers.
               
               \u201cLike so many other organisations, ONVIF has had to adapt to new ways of collaborating and exchanging ideas,\u201d said Per Bj\u00f6rkdahl, chair of the ONVIF Steering Committee. \u201cInteroperability doesn\u2019t happen in a vacuum and, while nothing will replace valuable face-to-face interaction with our members, we are grateful for the continued participation of member companies in supporting ONVIF profile conformance.\u201d
               
               Profiles tested at this event include Profile A for access control configuration, Profile C for door control and event management, Profile S for basic video streaming, Profile T for advanced video streaming, Profile G for edge storage and retrieval, Profile Q for quick installation and the Profile M Release Candidate for metadata and analytics for smart applications.

                  The Security Systems and Alarms Inspection Board (SSAIB) have achieved accreditation for BAFE's SP207 scheme for emergency evacuation systems - used by Fire and Rescue services to prioritise evacuation from residential high rise buildings and ensure people at risk in endangered areas can be safely evacuated. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  The new development from BAFE covers the design, installation, commissioning and maintenance of emergency evacuations systems that will help to provide quality evidence of competency to deliver these services, while also supporting British Standard 8629 Evacuation Alert Systems for use by fire and rescue services in buildings containing flats. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  \"Developed in response to a recommendation from the Grenfell Tower Phase 1 inquiry report, it is likely to become a requirement that you will need to be third-party certified to work on emergency evacuation systems going forward,\" said Keith Strugnell, SSAIB Fire Scheme Manager. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  \"However, despite it being a brand new scheme, existing SSAIB-registered SP203-1 firms will find it comparable to their own scheme \u2013 as it utilises a similar format, albeit that the scheme document has been changed to make it more relevant to emergency evacuation systems. Therefore, in theory, you will satisfy the requirements for SP207 by default if you already have SP203-1.\" <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  BAFE announced the scheme in the final quarter of 2020 and Keith went on to reveal that the leading UKAS-accredited certification body for the fire and security industries acted promptly to ensure that the organisation could add SP207 to its existing catalogue of BAFE fire schemes.
                  
                  Keith continued: \u201cWith regards to SSAIB, we completed training with BS 8629:2019 for our auditors and scheduled several pilot audits for those initial companies to achieve certification for this latest scheme that we provide certification for to the fire industry. We then collated all of the necessary criteria that was needed for our information packs and then we were ready to go.\"
                  
                  BAFE\u2019s director of schemes, Chris Auger, added: \u201cThe demand shown following the MHCLG consultation is unprecedented and represents a far greater awareness of systems and competency of their installers required following the tragedy of the Grenfell Tower Fire.
                  
                  \u201cWith the work BAFE have performed in conjunction with the industry and Fire and Rescue Service, we are pleased to offer a route to achieving this important third-party certification. Quality evidence of competency is going to have far greater scrutiny for everyone working in high-rise blocks in the very near future which can only be a good thing. This scheme will fill this crucial gap in providing confidence to specifiers knowing they are fulfilling their due diligence and continuing the \u2018golden thread\u2019 of accountability for the life safety of residents within the building.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  \u201cThe expanding portfolio of BAFE schemes represents the necessity of quality evidence of competency required for niche, but extremely important, areas of the industry. Third-party certification is going to be a key focus of attention for the built environment moving forward and BAFE need to position itself to offer schemes that are both needed and, reflect the current concerns of occupants, regulators, service providers and building owners\/managers.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  The Mausoleum of Qin Shihuangdi in the city of Xi\u2019an has been outfitted with a comprehensive intrusion alarm system from Bosch Building Technologies. The Unesco World Heritage Site is home to a 2,000-year-old army of clay statues, the world-famous Terracotta Warriors, guarding the tomb of China\u2019s first emperor. Several hundred TriTech motion detectors are deployed to protect the 16,300-square-foot museum against theft and damage. According to the manufacturer, these detectors prevent costly and time-consuming false alarms under challenging environmental conditions, while providing detection reliability of real alarms. Because of the intrusion detection system, which detects and reports any unauthorised intrusion into the security areas to security personnel in less than two seconds, the museum can dispense entirely with physical protective barriers such as glass walls.<\/p>\n

                  \u201cThe cooperation with Bosch is an excellent showcase of modern high-tech protection of historic buildings,\u201d said Ren Xuxin, Project Manager of Xi\u2019an Terracotta Warriors and Horses Pit Security Upgrade Project. \u201cBosch intrusion alarm systems help to upgrade the security level of these unique historic sites.\u201d<\/p>\n

                  As wall detectors, the TriTech motion detectors protect the pits where the terracotta warriors are located. Because these pits collect large amounts of dust that could cause false alarms, the intelligent sensor data fusion algorithm in each of the detectors checks potential alarms with PIR sensor and microwave Doppler radar for a consistent result. The area to be protected is also secured from above by ceiling-mounted TriTech motion detectors located 4.8m above the museum floor.<\/p>\n

                  In the event of an actual security breach, the Bosch G-Series system controller sends an alert, including the location of the triggered detector, to the security team in the control room, which uses live images from a video system to verify the alarm. In most cases, tourists trigger an alarm when they cross a threshold to retrieve their cameras or smartphones that have accidentally fallen into the pit. In doing so, there is a risk of damage to the priceless terracotta warriors.<\/p>\n

                  The TriTech motion detectors provide round-the-clock protection for the museum, which is visited by thousands of people every day. In accordance with the museum operator\u2019s list of requirements, the intrusion detection system protects not only the museum, including the perimeter, as well as the visitor areas of the mausoleum, but additionally the cultural treasures currently stored in the unmanned warehouse.<\/p>\nwww.boschbuildingtechnologies.com<\/a>","post_title":"Bosch intrusion alarm solution protects Chinese terracotta warriors","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"bosch-intrusion-alarm-solution-protects-chinese-terracotta-warriors","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-03-09 11:17:38","post_modified_gmt":"2021-03-09 11:17:38","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=5228","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":5179,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-03-05 09:32:12","post_date_gmt":"2021-03-05 09:32:12","post_content":"Ditek has promoted Wendy Gattis to Chief Executive Officer.

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":4851,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-02-08 16:44:28","post_date_gmt":"2021-02-08 16:44:28","post_content":"Motorola Solutions has added to its video security and analytics portfolio with the Artificial Intelligence Network Video Recorder (AI NVR).

CertAlarm is now able to offer these certifications.\n\nBack in 2018, The Technical Committee CEN\/TC 72 released two common standards \u2013 EN 54-5: 2017 + A1:2018, \u201cHeat detectors \u2013 Point heat detectors\u201d, and 54-7: 2018, \u201cSmoke detectors \u2013 Point smoke detectors that operate using scattered light, transmitted light or ionisation\u201d. Following this, the European Commission cited them in the OJEU in 2019. The updated provisions include increased requirements for the EMC-resilience of detectors.\n\nBoth updated standards are mandatory for products that are sold throughout the EU from the end of the transition period on August 31, 2022. That means that all manufacturers should now start with the update of their corresponding external certificates and internal declarations by applying the latest version of EN 54-5 and EN 54-7 to their products. In due course, all manufacturers of heat and smoke detectors will be required to apply to authorised Notified Bodies for a Certificate of Constancy of Performance to the new revisions, enabling them to update their DoPs (Declaration of Performance).\n\nThe majority of CertAlarm partners have been accredited by their national Accreditation Bodies and notified by the EU for testing and certification based on the two harmonised norms and can now fully support manufacturers in obtaining the respective certificates.\n\n\u201cWe want to provide a comprehensive, competitive and time-saving support to manufacturers by offering all relevant testing and certification services as a one-stop solution which is valid throughout Europe,\u201d said Anja Kinsky, General Manager of CertAlarm. \u201cWe\u2019re therefore pleased to announce that we also cover these new certification requirements.\u201d\n\nwww.certalarm.org<\/a>","post_title":"CertAlarm partners accredited new EN 54-5 and 54-7 standards","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"certalarm-partners-accredited-new-en-54-5-and-54-7-standards","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-03 16:06:31","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-03 16:06:31","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4816","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4788,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-02-02 11:52:44","post_date_gmt":"2021-02-02 11:52:44","post_content":"There has been a sharp increase in the necessity for businesses to adopt hosted video surveillance (VSaaS) and access control (ACaaS) solutions according to new research into the impact of Covid-19 on physical security purchasing decisions. While 70% of 1,000 senior decision makers in IT, security, FM and HR roles agree this to be the case, 78% also anticipate their organisations\u2019 use of cloud technologies to increase in the future as a result of Covid-19.\n\nMorphean commissioned the independent survey which revealed that over three-quarters (76%) of senior managers in UK, Germany and Sweden have increased their use of video conferencing (e.g. Microsoft Teams); 65% have increased their use of office applications (e.g. Microsoft 365); and 70% of those in the security sector are now strongly inclined towards cloud adoption.\n\n51% say their company is currently using a cloud-based service for video surveillance (VSaaS) and\/or access control (ACaaS). This is an increase of 3% over 2019 (48%) and broadly reflects projected growth in the physical security market from US$93.5 billion in 2020 to US$120.3 billion by 2025 at a CAGR of 5.2%. The accelerating adoption of hosted solutions is buoyed by its low cost set up, flexible scalability and demand for real-time and remote access to security data.\n\n\u201cThe results highlight a hosted physical security market that will see strong growth in 2021 as cloud applications are proven to deliver business continuity in challenging times,\u201d said Rodrigue Zbinden, CEO of Morphean SA. \u201cAt the height of the lockdown, many business premises were unoccupied and potentially vulnerable, but remote monitoring and maintenance made possible by hosted security were a welcome advantage. We also saw a spike in demand for frictionless access control enabling a totally hands-free experience and negating the need for physical contact. Business leaders will now be considering the learnings from the past year and looking to apply them to boost productivity, streamline costs and make organisations more agile.\u201d\n\nFor security professionals already working with cloud services, the growth in connected digital devices through the IoT is resulting in an increased appetite for physical security, such as network cameras, to enhance existing IT systems and assist business intelligence gathering. The report shows that 95% agree that if an existing security system could deliver insights beyond security to assist decision making (i.e. occupancy or test and trace analytics), it would influence adoption.\n\nMore flexibility in working locations is the benefit respondents are most likely to identify from moving business functions to the cloud (50%), followed by easier collaboration (44%); more cost-effective (44%); safer\/better security (38%). It was found that 82% anticipate the levels\/frequency of remote workers and flexible working in their organisations to be higher post-pandemic and in the longer term than they were pre-pandemic.\n\nSecurity will need to be enhanced to facilitate greater flexibility in worker patterns. An access control solution which is linked to HR records, for example, can check the swipe of an access card against staff records. A staff member who is flagged as being on leave, absent or no longer employed will trigger an automated alert to the relevant personnel. Surveillance cameras also provide secondary authentication through visual clarification of an individual\u2019s identity.\n\n\u201cFor the physical security reseller, the study will demonstrate that hosted security solutions must play a major part in expanding their offering to a wiser customer base,\u201d said Zbinden. \u201cCloud-enabled physical security solutions represent an investment into improving security and operations, a chance to forge new business relationships, and an opportunity to embrace future proof technologies in preparation for whatever challenges the future might hold.\u201d\n\nRead the full report here<\/a>.\n\nwww.morphean.com<\/a>\n\n ","post_title":"Hosted video and access control sees sharp rise during the pandemic","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"hosted-video-and-access-control-sees-sharp-rise-during-the-pandemic","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-02 11:52:46","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-02 11:52:46","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4788","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4735,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-29 14:31:33","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-29 14:31:33","post_content":"Paxton is using online face-to-face training to offer installers the opportunity to understand and implement the latest updates to its flagship access control system Net2, and newest combined access control and video management system, Paxton10.

According to the manufacturer, the system\u2019s professional sound quality and low latency enable clear communication, both in emergency situations and for day-to-day announcements or music.\n\nCerberus Pace Compact is available in two versions: Compact 400 and Compact 1000. Wall mounted, despite its comparatively small size, Cerberus Pace Compact offers power of up to 2,000W and an additional backup amplifier and pilot tone amplifier. Cerberus Pace systems are fully compliant with the EN 54-16 standard and local codes of practice in European countries. The systems can cover all redundancy, ensuring there is adequate back-up. To support the safety-first approach, both high performing and reliable systems stand for no single point of failure, thanks to distributed intelligence, where each network participant has a CPU that allows the device to be made independent.\n\nCerberus Pace comes with dedicated configuration software and real-time engineering. The system can be configured live, while it is running, reportedly without causing any interruption to day-to-day activities. No shut down is necessary for maintenance or to change the configuration, with remote access ensuring business continuity, whatever the environment. \n\nCerberus Pace Compact can be combined with the Modular system using the same network and configuration tools to offer a wider choice of ancillary products (for example, amplifiers or audio matrix), while also enabling cost optimisation. In addition, both systems can be used for stepwise modernisations of older voice alarm systems (often using existing cabling), making it possible to futureproof the system to meet changing demands. Different connection options (loop, stub line, double stub lines, and even compatibility with star structures or T-taps) offer greater flexibility during the installation process.\n\nwww.siemens.com\/cerberus-pace<\/a>\n\n ","post_title":"Siemens launches compact PA\/VA solution","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"siemens-launches-compact-pa-va-solution","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-01-29 10:49:01","post_modified_gmt":"2021-01-29 10:49:01","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4727","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4633,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-21 18:40:49","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-21 18:40:49","post_content":"Montana State University-Northern is using Napco Security Technologies products in a school security project.

The benefits and convenience of contactless access control have been well documented prior to, and even more so during the pandemic. Being able to provide access credentials without having touch points not only offer users convenience, but also ensures they are reducing the risk of infection to themselves and others.\u201d\n\nPaxton Key works with Paxton10 readers, PaxLock Pro and Entry panels. 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":4609,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-19 15:02:03","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-19 15:02:03","post_content":"Simon Wheeler and Neil Bain from Controlled.co.uk discuss how systems integration contracts come to them and how they approach their relationships with clients.","post_title":"SOS Opinion | How Controlled.co.uk secure contracts in systems integration","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"sos-opinion-how-controlled-co-uk-secure-contracts-in-systems-integration","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-01-19 15:02:08","post_modified_gmt":"2021-01-19 15:02:08","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4609","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4597,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-18 12:03:55","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-18 12:03:55","post_content":"Bosch states that its new Autodome IP starlight 5100i offers enhanced image quality and built-in Artificial Intelligence (AI) to help operators react before a potential situation occurs. Designed for outdoor surveillance applications when light levels vary, the Autodome IP starlight 5100i has a new \u00bd inch camera sensor offering 4MP resolution and 20x optical zoom to detect people or objects at a maximum distance up to 1,676m.\n\nThe camera is equipped with advanced motion optimised High Dynamic Range (HDR-X) at 133dB and starlight technology, which the manufacturer states allows the camera to provide \u201cexceptional image quality during daytime and at lower light levels such as dusk and dawn without blurring of moving objects\u201d. The camera is weatherproof with vandal-resistant housing expanding its use to demanding city surveillance situations.\n\nBuilt-in AI, like video analytics, uses metadata to add sense and structure to video footage. Bosch states that this enables cameras to \u201cunderstand what they are seeing and gives customers a smart choice to know what is next\u201d.\n\nThe Autodome IP starlight 5100i camera comes with built-in Essential Video Analytics to deliver actionable insights that help operators react before a possible threat or unwanted situation occurs. This built-in AI captures relevant data for uses such as enforcing traffic regulations, detecting vehicles driving in the wrong direction, and delivering occupancy data, such as the number of vehicles entering and leaving a parking garage for smarter, more efficient parking. When idle, the camera can provide relevant, usable statistics like the number of people entering a specific area, analyse behavior, or assist in enforcing health and safety regulations such as raising awareness of a blocked emergency exit.\n\nHigher resolutions and frame rates, improved dynamic range, and enhanced light sensitivity are essential to capturing images that can distinguish individuals or objects for identification or proof. A unique feature of the Autodome IP starlight 5100i is the new \u00bd inch camera sensor offering 4MP resolution, 20x optical zoom, and durable housing to meet demanding applications, especially outdoors.\n\nThe AUTODOME\u2019s built-in starlight technology and HDR-X technology are described as an \u201cideal combination\u201d for this mid-range moving camera. Starlight technology enables the camera to capture colour detail when light levels drop to nearly zero and maximise low light performance. HDR-X eliminates shadows and balances uneven exposure with a dynamic range of 133dB. Operators can locate a person or object in motion at a distance up to 1,676m and can manually track individuals of interest as they move, regardless of speed, far beyond a fixed camera\u2019s field of view.\n\nAll Bosch video security cameras offer built-in AI as standard and connect to the Bosch cloud for remote maintenance and device management. Systems integrators can work with customers remotely to perform service when they cannot meet face to face.\n\nWith the free Bosch Project Assistant software, systems integrators are supported in the planning, pre-configuration, commissioning and reporting for video security projects without the need to be physically near the cameras. The Bosch Remote Portal offers secure device management, set up and health monitoring via the Bosch cloud from anywhere.\n\nBecause video data is often highly critical and sensitive, Bosch has a systematic approach to maximising data security centered on a built-in Trusted Platform Module to keep video data secure. With remote configuration, management and planning, systems integrators can reduce installation and set-up time and minimise the number of commutes, resulting in sustainable business practices that are economically viable, socially responsible and environmentally friendly.\n\nwww.boschsecurity.com<\/a>","post_title":"Bosch offers built-in AI with Autodome IP starlight 5100i video camera","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"bosch-offers-built-in-ai-with-autodome-ip-starlight-5100i-video-camera","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-01-18 12:04:00","post_modified_gmt":"2021-01-18 12:04:00","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4597","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.

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":4505,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-10 10:46:00","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-10 10:46:00","post_content":"Optex\u2019 range of Intelligent Passive Infrared (PIR) sensors have been deployed by Harper Security Systems to cover three properties in the UK Home Counties and Lincolnshire.

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. Click here<\/a> to register now. Those who are unable to attend this event can fill out the form on the Boon Edam website<\/a> to schedule a virtual 1-hour lunch-and-learn presentation.\n\nwww.boonedam.us<\/a>","post_title":"Boon Edam educates architects on the role of security entrances","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"boon-edam-educates-architects-on-the-role-of-security-entrances","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-01-07 19:10:20","post_modified_gmt":"2021-01-07 19:10:20","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4448","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4432,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-05 16:00:40","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-05 16:00:40","post_content":"Simon Wheeler and Neil Bain from Controlled.co.uk explain how they are approaching integrated systems installation during the Covid-19 pandemic.","post_title":"SOS Opinion | Installing integrated systems during the pandemic, with Controlled.co.uk","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"sos-opinion-installing-integrated-systems-during-the-pandemic-with-controlled-co-uk","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-01-05 16:00:42","post_modified_gmt":"2021-01-05 16:00:42","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4432","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4301,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2020-12-28 09:17:00","post_date_gmt":"2020-12-28 09:17:00","post_content":"Assa Abloy Opening Solutions has announced three new technology integrations with third party manufacturers.

OSDP is an access control communications standard developed by SIA to improve interoperability among access control and security products.\n\nSIA OSDP version 2.2 features the messages and formatting that were included in the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) 60839-11-5 standard released earlier in 2020 and addresses some of the minor errata within that document. SIA OSDP version 2.2 replaces version 2.1.7 of the specification, released in 2015. The updates include an enhanced method for file transfer, which allows for the transfer of large data sets for firmware updates or graphics from an access control unit to a reader, clearer instructions for the implementation of SecureChannel to facilitate encrypted communications and updated messages for handling smartcard applications within the protocol.\n\nSIA OSDP version 2.2 is described as a bridge that allows for easier updates of the OSDP specification and the subsequent publishing of these enhancements as an international standard. SIA OSDP allows devices, such as card readers, control panels or other security management systems to work together, providing the security industry with a solution that moves far beyond the widely-used Wiegand standard in terms of security and functionality. A two-way channel and encryption pave the way for advanced security applications such as the handling of smart cards, biometrics and government applications that require Public Key Infrastructure or Federal Identity, Credential and Access Management requirements.\n\n\u201cSIA OSDP version 2.2 is a culmination of all of the work done over the past five years to prepare the protocol for international standardisation and fixes the majority of common implementation challenges faced by implementers of version 2.1.7,\u201d said Steve Rogers, co-chair of the SIA OSDP Working Group and president at IQ Devices.\n\nThe SIA OSDP standard is recommended for access control installations that require advanced security or will be used in government and other higher-security settings. In April 2020, SIA introduced SIA OSDP Verified, a comprehensive testing programme that validates a device\u2019s conformance to the SIA OSDP standard and related performance protocols. Maintained and developed by the SIA OSDP Working Group since 2011, the SIA OSDP standard was approved by the IEC technical committee on alarm and electronic security systems as an international standard in June 2020.\n\nSIA OSDP v2.2 aims to duplicate the contents and terminology that were required in the IEC standardisation process, harmonising the SIA published protocol series and the IEC standard. Future versions of OSDP will continue to follow the IEC formatting conventions, enabling the always-evolving work of the SIA SODP Working Group to be more easily adopted through the IEC standards process.\n\nwww.securityindustry.org<\/a>","post_title":"Version 2.2 of SIA OSDP standard unveiled","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"version-2-2-of-sia-osdp-standard-unveiled","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2020-12-17 12:30:13","post_modified_gmt":"2020-12-17 12:30:13","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4295","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4356,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2020-12-23 09:16:00","post_date_gmt":"2020-12-23 09:16:00","post_content":"In our series of 2021 predictions, Robin Hughes of Secure Logiq talks about video analytics.","post_title":"SOS 2021 Predictions | 'Video Analytics' with Secure Logiq","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"sos-2021-predictions-video-analytics-with-secure-logiq","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-01-23 10:49:50","post_modified_gmt":"2023-01-23 10:49:50","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4356","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4286,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2020-12-16 14:33:59","post_date_gmt":"2020-12-16 14:33:59","post_content":"Simon Wheeler and Neil Bain from Controlled.co.uk, discuss how the security industry may change in a post-pandemic world.","post_title":"SOS Opinion | Will the security industry return to normal after the pandemic?

This door was supplied with a glazed OH1042F panel to provide natural light and vision into the valet bay.\n\nAs part of the complete doors package, the company also supplied 20 steel hinged doors and one roller shutter to the parts store. The steel hinged doors provided fire compartmentalisation as well as access control and security to different areas of the building.\n\nwww.assaabloyentrance.co.uk<\/a>","post_title":"Assa Abloy Entrance Systems provides security and practicality for car showroom","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"assa-abloy-entrance-systems-provides-security-and-practicality-for-car-showroom","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2022-12-14 16:42:17","post_modified_gmt":"2022-12-14 16:42:17","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4067","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4063,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2020-11-27 12:47:46","post_date_gmt":"2020-11-27 12:47:46","post_content":"Simon Wheeler and Neil Bain from Controlled.co.uk discuss which sectors are investing in integrated systems during the Covid-19 pandemic.","post_title":"SOS Opinion | Popular sectors for integrated systems with Controlled.co.uk","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"sos-opinion-popular-sectors-for-integrated-systems-with-controlled-co-uk","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2020-11-27 12:47:51","post_modified_gmt":"2020-11-27 12:47:51","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4063","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4047,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2020-11-24 18:40:51","post_date_gmt":"2020-11-24 18:40:51","post_content":"Tammy Brettell discusses security systems, and how they can be used differently during the time of a pandemic.","post_title":"How security systems can be used differently in a pandemic","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"how-security-systems-can-be-used-differently-in-a-pandemic","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2020-11-24 18:40:54","post_modified_gmt":"2020-11-24 18:40:54","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4047","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4034,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2020-11-20 17:08:59","post_date_gmt":"2020-11-20 17:08:59","post_content":"US-based systems integrator consortium, PSA Security Network, has added cloud-based, unified access control and video surveillance solution manufacturer Qumulex to its Managed Security Service Provider Program.\n\n\u201cWe\u2019re very pleased to partner with PSA and provide its members a video surveillance and access control platform to migrate their customers from on-premises installations to the cloud and recurring revenue,\u201d said Tom Buckley, VP Sales and Marketing at Qumulex. \u201cWith Qumulex, dealers have one modern, easy to use platform which they can easily manage all of their customers and provide remote setup and support.\u201d\n\n\u201cQumulex designs products that make the transition from legacy systems to the cloud, easier and more manageable,\u201d added Tim Brooks, vice president of sales and vendor management for PSA. \u201cThis hybrid model allows customers to be both on-premises and in the cloud without having to entirely replace a legacy system.

The complete end-to-end solution offers protection at the perimeter, entrance and exit points, as well as close monitoring of the gaming hall and individual machines, guarding against break-ins and criminal damage as well as tampering and fraud.\n\nCasinos must be adequately protected, not just to secure the premises and protect against fraud or theft, but also to fulfil legal requirements set by the Gambling Commission and local authorities. Napoleons Casinos & Restaurants owners, The A&S Leisure Group Ltd, sought to employ a system that would incorporate the latest advancements in security, without the need to use multiple providers. Axis, together with its partner Brock Business Support, specified and deployed a solution which was customised to fully support the casino\u2019s requirements.\n\n\u201cWhen looking at the requirements of the new site, integration between the surveillance and access control systems was important, together with high quality images from the cameras, and immediate video play back with audio,\u201d explained Guy Hewson, Head of Security at The A&S Leisure Group Ltd. \u201cWe turned to Brock Business Support who, through its close working partnership with Axis Communications, was able to specify a system that could be tailor made for our requirements.\u201d\n\nThe project saw 100 cameras installed at the site, requiring six AXIS T8524 PoE+ network switches and recording on three servers, all driven by the AXIS Camera Station software running over four viewing stations. The staff entrance utilises an AXIS A8004-VE network video door station, and all staff are admitted after scanning using a biometric reader. Inside, AXIS M3065-V network mini dome cameras cover back of house areas, providing a wide-angle view.\n\nGaming tables, money exchange areas, bars and slot machines are monitored by AXIS P3375-V network cameras with built in two-way audio functionality. At the roulette wheels AXIS F1015 sensor units sit inside the table displays, providing a discrete full view with recording capabilities and images that are clear and sharp. Externally, the perimeter is covered by AXIS P3245-LVE fixed dome network cameras with AXIS Lightfinder technology, ideal for variable lighting and weather conditions.\n\n\u201cMultiple factors were taken into consideration during the installation of the many cameras and sensors across the Napoleons Casinos site, which meant meticulous planning, right down to considerations around connectivity,\u201d said Dave Brock, Managing Director, Brock Business Support. \u201cFor example, the use of AXIS Zipstream technology meant that Cat-5E cabling could be used, meaning no need to upgrade. This represented an immediate cost saving for the casino\u2019s owners.\u201d\n\nWith the ability to capture and export live video data in real-time for the authorities in the event of an incident, Axis\u2019 solution provides peace of mind for all at the site. Satisfied that the new system has met all of its objectives, The A&S Leisure Group Ltd now plans to review the technologies at its other four sites, implementing variations on the design employed so successfully at the Manchester premises.\n\nwww.axis.com<\/a>","post_title":"Axis creates end-to-end security and surveillance solution for Manchester casino","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"axis-creates-end-to-end-security-and-surveillance-solution-for-manchester-casino","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2020-11-18 14:45:57","post_modified_gmt":"2020-11-18 14:45:57","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4012","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":3975,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2020-11-13 16:27:22","post_date_gmt":"2020-11-13 16:27:22","post_content":"\n

                  The 22nd ONVIF Developers\u2019 Plugfest took place this year as a virtual event in October. Nearly 50 developers and engineers from 26 ONVIF member companies gathered virtually over two weeks in and completed nearly 200 hours of testing. Developers could test products independently for profile conformance, as well as assess interoperability between their devices and those from other manufacturers.
                  
                  \u201cLike so many other organisations, ONVIF has had to adapt to new ways of collaborating and exchanging ideas,\u201d said Per Bj\u00f6rkdahl, chair of the ONVIF Steering Committee. \u201cInteroperability doesn\u2019t happen in a vacuum and, while nothing will replace valuable face-to-face interaction with our members, we are grateful for the continued participation of member companies in supporting ONVIF profile conformance.\u201d
                  
                  Profiles tested at this event include Profile A for access control configuration, Profile C for door control and event management, Profile S for basic video streaming, Profile T for advanced video streaming, Profile G for edge storage and retrieval, Profile Q for quick installation and the Profile M Release Candidate for metadata and analytics for smart applications.
                  
                  ONVIF Developers\u2019 Plugfests are typically held twice a year around the world, allowing the global members to gather and test their implementations. Due to the uncertain nature of the COVID-19 pandemic, details of the 23rd virtual ONVIF Developers\u2019 Plugfest will be announced at a later date.

                     The Security Systems and Alarms Inspection Board (SSAIB) have achieved accreditation for BAFE's SP207 scheme for emergency evacuation systems - used by Fire and Rescue services to prioritise evacuation from residential high rise buildings and ensure people at risk in endangered areas can be safely evacuated. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                     The new development from BAFE covers the design, installation, commissioning and maintenance of emergency evacuations systems that will help to provide quality evidence of competency to deliver these services, while also supporting British Standard 8629 Evacuation Alert Systems for use by fire and rescue services in buildings containing flats. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                     \"Developed in response to a recommendation from the Grenfell Tower Phase 1 inquiry report, it is likely to become a requirement that you will need to be third-party certified to work on emergency evacuation systems going forward,\" said Keith Strugnell, SSAIB Fire Scheme Manager. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                     \"However, despite it being a brand new scheme, existing SSAIB-registered SP203-1 firms will find it comparable to their own scheme \u2013 as it utilises a similar format, albeit that the scheme document has been changed to make it more relevant to emergency evacuation systems. Therefore, in theory, you will satisfy the requirements for SP207 by default if you already have SP203-1.\" <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                     BAFE announced the scheme in the final quarter of 2020 and Keith went on to reveal that the leading UKAS-accredited certification body for the fire and security industries acted promptly to ensure that the organisation could add SP207 to its existing catalogue of BAFE fire schemes.
                     
                     Keith continued: \u201cWith regards to SSAIB, we completed training with BS 8629:2019 for our auditors and scheduled several pilot audits for those initial companies to achieve certification for this latest scheme that we provide certification for to the fire industry. We then collated all of the necessary criteria that was needed for our information packs and then we were ready to go.\"
                     
                     BAFE\u2019s director of schemes, Chris Auger, added: \u201cThe demand shown following the MHCLG consultation is unprecedented and represents a far greater awareness of systems and competency of their installers required following the tragedy of the Grenfell Tower Fire.
                     
                     \u201cWith the work BAFE have performed in conjunction with the industry and Fire and Rescue Service, we are pleased to offer a route to achieving this important third-party certification. Quality evidence of competency is going to have far greater scrutiny for everyone working in high-rise blocks in the very near future which can only be a good thing. This scheme will fill this crucial gap in providing confidence to specifiers knowing they are fulfilling their due diligence and continuing the \u2018golden thread\u2019 of accountability for the life safety of residents within the building.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                     \u201cThe expanding portfolio of BAFE schemes represents the necessity of quality evidence of competency required for niche, but extremely important, areas of the industry. Third-party certification is going to be a key focus of attention for the built environment moving forward and BAFE need to position itself to offer schemes that are both needed and, reflect the current concerns of occupants, regulators, service providers and building owners\/managers.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                     The Mausoleum of Qin Shihuangdi in the city of Xi\u2019an has been outfitted with a comprehensive intrusion alarm system from Bosch Building Technologies. The Unesco World Heritage Site is home to a 2,000-year-old army of clay statues, the world-famous Terracotta Warriors, guarding the tomb of China\u2019s first emperor. Several hundred TriTech motion detectors are deployed to protect the 16,300-square-foot museum against theft and damage. According to the manufacturer, these detectors prevent costly and time-consuming false alarms under challenging environmental conditions, while providing detection reliability of real alarms. Because of the intrusion detection system, which detects and reports any unauthorised intrusion into the security areas to security personnel in less than two seconds, the museum can dispense entirely with physical protective barriers such as glass walls.<\/p>\n

                     \u201cThe cooperation with Bosch is an excellent showcase of modern high-tech protection of historic buildings,\u201d said Ren Xuxin, Project Manager of Xi\u2019an Terracotta Warriors and Horses Pit Security Upgrade Project. \u201cBosch intrusion alarm systems help to upgrade the security level of these unique historic sites.\u201d<\/p>\n

                     As wall detectors, the TriTech motion detectors protect the pits where the terracotta warriors are located. Because these pits collect large amounts of dust that could cause false alarms, the intelligent sensor data fusion algorithm in each of the detectors checks potential alarms with PIR sensor and microwave Doppler radar for a consistent result. The area to be protected is also secured from above by ceiling-mounted TriTech motion detectors located 4.8m above the museum floor.<\/p>\n

                     In the event of an actual security breach, the Bosch G-Series system controller sends an alert, including the location of the triggered detector, to the security team in the control room, which uses live images from a video system to verify the alarm. In most cases, tourists trigger an alarm when they cross a threshold to retrieve their cameras or smartphones that have accidentally fallen into the pit. In doing so, there is a risk of damage to the priceless terracotta warriors.<\/p>\n

                     The TriTech motion detectors provide round-the-clock protection for the museum, which is visited by thousands of people every day. In accordance with the museum operator\u2019s list of requirements, the intrusion detection system protects not only the museum, including the perimeter, as well as the visitor areas of the mausoleum, but additionally the cultural treasures currently stored in the unmanned warehouse.<\/p>\nwww.boschbuildingtechnologies.com<\/a>","post_title":"Bosch intrusion alarm solution protects Chinese terracotta warriors","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"bosch-intrusion-alarm-solution-protects-chinese-terracotta-warriors","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-03-09 11:17:38","post_modified_gmt":"2021-03-09 11:17:38","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=5228","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":5179,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-03-05 09:32:12","post_date_gmt":"2021-03-05 09:32:12","post_content":"Ditek has promoted Wendy Gattis to Chief Executive Officer.

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":4851,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-02-08 16:44:28","post_date_gmt":"2021-02-08 16:44:28","post_content":"Motorola Solutions has added to its video security and analytics portfolio with the Artificial Intelligence Network Video Recorder (AI NVR).

CertAlarm is now able to offer these certifications.\n\nBack in 2018, The Technical Committee CEN\/TC 72 released two common standards \u2013 EN 54-5: 2017 + A1:2018, \u201cHeat detectors \u2013 Point heat detectors\u201d, and 54-7: 2018, \u201cSmoke detectors \u2013 Point smoke detectors that operate using scattered light, transmitted light or ionisation\u201d. Following this, the European Commission cited them in the OJEU in 2019. The updated provisions include increased requirements for the EMC-resilience of detectors.\n\nBoth updated standards are mandatory for products that are sold throughout the EU from the end of the transition period on August 31, 2022. That means that all manufacturers should now start with the update of their corresponding external certificates and internal declarations by applying the latest version of EN 54-5 and EN 54-7 to their products. In due course, all manufacturers of heat and smoke detectors will be required to apply to authorised Notified Bodies for a Certificate of Constancy of Performance to the new revisions, enabling them to update their DoPs (Declaration of Performance).\n\nThe majority of CertAlarm partners have been accredited by their national Accreditation Bodies and notified by the EU for testing and certification based on the two harmonised norms and can now fully support manufacturers in obtaining the respective certificates.\n\n\u201cWe want to provide a comprehensive, competitive and time-saving support to manufacturers by offering all relevant testing and certification services as a one-stop solution which is valid throughout Europe,\u201d said Anja Kinsky, General Manager of CertAlarm. \u201cWe\u2019re therefore pleased to announce that we also cover these new certification requirements.\u201d\n\nwww.certalarm.org<\/a>","post_title":"CertAlarm partners accredited new EN 54-5 and 54-7 standards","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"certalarm-partners-accredited-new-en-54-5-and-54-7-standards","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-03 16:06:31","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-03 16:06:31","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4816","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4788,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-02-02 11:52:44","post_date_gmt":"2021-02-02 11:52:44","post_content":"There has been a sharp increase in the necessity for businesses to adopt hosted video surveillance (VSaaS) and access control (ACaaS) solutions according to new research into the impact of Covid-19 on physical security purchasing decisions. While 70% of 1,000 senior decision makers in IT, security, FM and HR roles agree this to be the case, 78% also anticipate their organisations\u2019 use of cloud technologies to increase in the future as a result of Covid-19.\n\nMorphean commissioned the independent survey which revealed that over three-quarters (76%) of senior managers in UK, Germany and Sweden have increased their use of video conferencing (e.g. Microsoft Teams); 65% have increased their use of office applications (e.g. Microsoft 365); and 70% of those in the security sector are now strongly inclined towards cloud adoption.\n\n51% say their company is currently using a cloud-based service for video surveillance (VSaaS) and\/or access control (ACaaS). This is an increase of 3% over 2019 (48%) and broadly reflects projected growth in the physical security market from US$93.5 billion in 2020 to US$120.3 billion by 2025 at a CAGR of 5.2%. The accelerating adoption of hosted solutions is buoyed by its low cost set up, flexible scalability and demand for real-time and remote access to security data.\n\n\u201cThe results highlight a hosted physical security market that will see strong growth in 2021 as cloud applications are proven to deliver business continuity in challenging times,\u201d said Rodrigue Zbinden, CEO of Morphean SA. \u201cAt the height of the lockdown, many business premises were unoccupied and potentially vulnerable, but remote monitoring and maintenance made possible by hosted security were a welcome advantage. We also saw a spike in demand for frictionless access control enabling a totally hands-free experience and negating the need for physical contact. Business leaders will now be considering the learnings from the past year and looking to apply them to boost productivity, streamline costs and make organisations more agile.\u201d\n\nFor security professionals already working with cloud services, the growth in connected digital devices through the IoT is resulting in an increased appetite for physical security, such as network cameras, to enhance existing IT systems and assist business intelligence gathering. The report shows that 95% agree that if an existing security system could deliver insights beyond security to assist decision making (i.e. occupancy or test and trace analytics), it would influence adoption.\n\nMore flexibility in working locations is the benefit respondents are most likely to identify from moving business functions to the cloud (50%), followed by easier collaboration (44%); more cost-effective (44%); safer\/better security (38%). It was found that 82% anticipate the levels\/frequency of remote workers and flexible working in their organisations to be higher post-pandemic and in the longer term than they were pre-pandemic.\n\nSecurity will need to be enhanced to facilitate greater flexibility in worker patterns. An access control solution which is linked to HR records, for example, can check the swipe of an access card against staff records. A staff member who is flagged as being on leave, absent or no longer employed will trigger an automated alert to the relevant personnel. Surveillance cameras also provide secondary authentication through visual clarification of an individual\u2019s identity.\n\n\u201cFor the physical security reseller, the study will demonstrate that hosted security solutions must play a major part in expanding their offering to a wiser customer base,\u201d said Zbinden. \u201cCloud-enabled physical security solutions represent an investment into improving security and operations, a chance to forge new business relationships, and an opportunity to embrace future proof technologies in preparation for whatever challenges the future might hold.\u201d\n\nRead the full report here<\/a>.\n\nwww.morphean.com<\/a>\n\n ","post_title":"Hosted video and access control sees sharp rise during the pandemic","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"hosted-video-and-access-control-sees-sharp-rise-during-the-pandemic","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-02 11:52:46","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-02 11:52:46","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4788","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4735,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-29 14:31:33","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-29 14:31:33","post_content":"Paxton is using online face-to-face training to offer installers the opportunity to understand and implement the latest updates to its flagship access control system Net2, and newest combined access control and video management system, Paxton10.

Installers are encouraged to interact with the trainers and other participants. Paxton trainers use a combination of presentation and demonstration, as well as provide the opportunity to get hands-on with Paxton systems using guided software instruction.\n\nAlongside the new face-to-face virtual training programme, Paxton is providing installers with 30 days of free access to the Paxton Learning Portal.\n\nRegister for Net2 or Paxton10 virtual courses here<\/a>.\n\nwww.paxton-access.com<\/a>","post_title":"Paxton offers installers online face-to-face training","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"paxton-offers-installers-online-face-to-face-training","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=4735","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4727,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-29 10:48:58","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-29 10:48:58","post_content":"Siemens Smart Infrastructure has unveiled a compact version of its Cerberus Pace Modular public address voice alarm (PA\/VA) solution. The manufacturer states that Cerberus Pace Modular and Compact offer a comprehensive PA\/VA solution, which can be integrated with fire protection and danger management systems. \n\n\u201cThanks to the Cerberus Pace systems, the user can cover all public and voice alarm needs with a single solution\u201d said Mario Kahlert, Head of Fire Safety at Siemens Smart Infrastructure. \u201cBy sharing the same state of the art technology as the modular system, but addressing small and simple applications, the Cerberus Pace Compact enables extensive customisation and is a cost-efficient solution for customers.\u201d \n\nThe range of potential applications covers any situation which require PA\/VA, including offices, hotels, airports, commercial facilities and educational buildings. As with the Modular system, Cerberus Pace Compact incorporates multiple redundancy levels and is also suitable for step-by-step modernisation of outdated systems. According to the manufacturer, the system\u2019s professional sound quality and low latency enable clear communication, both in emergency situations and for day-to-day announcements or music.\n\nCerberus Pace Compact is available in two versions: Compact 400 and Compact 1000. Wall mounted, despite its comparatively small size, Cerberus Pace Compact offers power of up to 2,000W and an additional backup amplifier and pilot tone amplifier. Cerberus Pace systems are fully compliant with the EN 54-16 standard and local codes of practice in European countries. The systems can cover all redundancy, ensuring there is adequate back-up. To support the safety-first approach, both high performing and reliable systems stand for no single point of failure, thanks to distributed intelligence, where each network participant has a CPU that allows the device to be made independent.\n\nCerberus Pace comes with dedicated configuration software and real-time engineering. The system can be configured live, while it is running, reportedly without causing any interruption to day-to-day activities. No shut down is necessary for maintenance or to change the configuration, with remote access ensuring business continuity, whatever the environment. \n\nCerberus Pace Compact can be combined with the Modular system using the same network and configuration tools to offer a wider choice of ancillary products (for example, amplifiers or audio matrix), while also enabling cost optimisation. In addition, both systems can be used for stepwise modernisations of older voice alarm systems (often using existing cabling), making it possible to futureproof the system to meet changing demands. Different connection options (loop, stub line, double stub lines, and even compatibility with star structures or T-taps) offer greater flexibility during the installation process.\n\nwww.siemens.com\/cerberus-pace<\/a>\n\n ","post_title":"Siemens launches compact PA\/VA solution","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"siemens-launches-compact-pa-va-solution","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-01-29 10:49:01","post_modified_gmt":"2021-01-29 10:49:01","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4727","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4633,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-21 18:40:49","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-21 18:40:49","post_content":"Montana State University-Northern is using Napco Security Technologies products in a school security project.

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":4609,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-19 15:02:03","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-19 15:02:03","post_content":"Simon Wheeler and Neil Bain from Controlled.co.uk discuss how systems integration contracts come to them and how they approach their relationships with clients.","post_title":"SOS Opinion | How Controlled.co.uk secure contracts in systems integration","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"sos-opinion-how-controlled-co-uk-secure-contracts-in-systems-integration","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-01-19 15:02:08","post_modified_gmt":"2021-01-19 15:02:08","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4609","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4597,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-18 12:03:55","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-18 12:03:55","post_content":"Bosch states that its new Autodome IP starlight 5100i offers enhanced image quality and built-in Artificial Intelligence (AI) to help operators react before a potential situation occurs. Designed for outdoor surveillance applications when light levels vary, the Autodome IP starlight 5100i has a new \u00bd inch camera sensor offering 4MP resolution and 20x optical zoom to detect people or objects at a maximum distance up to 1,676m.\n\nThe camera is equipped with advanced motion optimised High Dynamic Range (HDR-X) at 133dB and starlight technology, which the manufacturer states allows the camera to provide \u201cexceptional image quality during daytime and at lower light levels such as dusk and dawn without blurring of moving objects\u201d. The camera is weatherproof with vandal-resistant housing expanding its use to demanding city surveillance situations.\n\nBuilt-in AI, like video analytics, uses metadata to add sense and structure to video footage. Bosch states that this enables cameras to \u201cunderstand what they are seeing and gives customers a smart choice to know what is next\u201d.\n\nThe Autodome IP starlight 5100i camera comes with built-in Essential Video Analytics to deliver actionable insights that help operators react before a possible threat or unwanted situation occurs. This built-in AI captures relevant data for uses such as enforcing traffic regulations, detecting vehicles driving in the wrong direction, and delivering occupancy data, such as the number of vehicles entering and leaving a parking garage for smarter, more efficient parking. When idle, the camera can provide relevant, usable statistics like the number of people entering a specific area, analyse behavior, or assist in enforcing health and safety regulations such as raising awareness of a blocked emergency exit.\n\nHigher resolutions and frame rates, improved dynamic range, and enhanced light sensitivity are essential to capturing images that can distinguish individuals or objects for identification or proof. A unique feature of the Autodome IP starlight 5100i is the new \u00bd inch camera sensor offering 4MP resolution, 20x optical zoom, and durable housing to meet demanding applications, especially outdoors.\n\nThe AUTODOME\u2019s built-in starlight technology and HDR-X technology are described as an \u201cideal combination\u201d for this mid-range moving camera. Starlight technology enables the camera to capture colour detail when light levels drop to nearly zero and maximise low light performance. HDR-X eliminates shadows and balances uneven exposure with a dynamic range of 133dB. Operators can locate a person or object in motion at a distance up to 1,676m and can manually track individuals of interest as they move, regardless of speed, far beyond a fixed camera\u2019s field of view.\n\nAll Bosch video security cameras offer built-in AI as standard and connect to the Bosch cloud for remote maintenance and device management. Systems integrators can work with customers remotely to perform service when they cannot meet face to face.\n\nWith the free Bosch Project Assistant software, systems integrators are supported in the planning, pre-configuration, commissioning and reporting for video security projects without the need to be physically near the cameras. The Bosch Remote Portal offers secure device management, set up and health monitoring via the Bosch cloud from anywhere.\n\nBecause video data is often highly critical and sensitive, Bosch has a systematic approach to maximising data security centered on a built-in Trusted Platform Module to keep video data secure. With remote configuration, management and planning, systems integrators can reduce installation and set-up time and minimise the number of commutes, resulting in sustainable business practices that are economically viable, socially responsible and environmentally friendly.\n\nwww.boschsecurity.com<\/a>","post_title":"Bosch offers built-in AI with Autodome IP starlight 5100i video camera","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"bosch-offers-built-in-ai-with-autodome-ip-starlight-5100i-video-camera","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-01-18 12:04:00","post_modified_gmt":"2021-01-18 12:04:00","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4597","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.

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":4505,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-10 10:46:00","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-10 10:46:00","post_content":"Optex\u2019 range of Intelligent Passive Infrared (PIR) sensors have been deployed by Harper Security Systems to cover three properties in the UK Home Counties and Lincolnshire. The sensors are using a combination of the manufacturer\u2019s PIR sensors to protect property, people and other important assets including horses from the dangers of vandalism and theft.\n\n\u201cWe have worked with Optex for a number of years and have found their range of PIR sensors to be extremely accurate and reliable, which is critical when specifying external detection,\u201d said Alan Harper, Director at Harper Security Systems. \u201cThe flexibility and versatility of the sensors is such that they are ideal for multiple environments. For example, we have recently installed them at a private stables in Lincolnshire to protect horses and valuable equestrian equipment, residences in rural villages in both Bedfordshire and Hertfordshire to protect property and personal items, as well as in commercial business environments.\u201d\n\n\u201cReliable external protection is becoming increasingly important not only to secure equipment and assets, but also livestock and other animals like horses,\u201d added Ben Linklater, Sales Director at Optex Europe. \u201cThe earlier the detection the better chance there is to prevent intruders. External intrusion detection is essential in rural environments as most assets, many of which are expensive to replace (and some are irreplaceable), are stored outside.

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.

OSDP is an access control communications standard developed by SIA to improve interoperability among access control and security products.\n\nSIA OSDP version 2.2 features the messages and formatting that were included in the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) 60839-11-5 standard released earlier in 2020 and addresses some of the minor errata within that document. SIA OSDP version 2.2 replaces version 2.1.7 of the specification, released in 2015. The updates include an enhanced method for file transfer, which allows for the transfer of large data sets for firmware updates or graphics from an access control unit to a reader, clearer instructions for the implementation of SecureChannel to facilitate encrypted communications and updated messages for handling smartcard applications within the protocol.\n\nSIA OSDP version 2.2 is described as a bridge that allows for easier updates of the OSDP specification and the subsequent publishing of these enhancements as an international standard. SIA OSDP allows devices, such as card readers, control panels or other security management systems to work together, providing the security industry with a solution that moves far beyond the widely-used Wiegand standard in terms of security and functionality. A two-way channel and encryption pave the way for advanced security applications such as the handling of smart cards, biometrics and government applications that require Public Key Infrastructure or Federal Identity, Credential and Access Management requirements.\n\n\u201cSIA OSDP version 2.2 is a culmination of all of the work done over the past five years to prepare the protocol for international standardisation and fixes the majority of common implementation challenges faced by implementers of version 2.1.7,\u201d said Steve Rogers, co-chair of the SIA OSDP Working Group and president at IQ Devices.\n\nThe SIA OSDP standard is recommended for access control installations that require advanced security or will be used in government and other higher-security settings. In April 2020, SIA introduced SIA OSDP Verified, a comprehensive testing programme that validates a device\u2019s conformance to the SIA OSDP standard and related performance protocols. Maintained and developed by the SIA OSDP Working Group since 2011, the SIA OSDP standard was approved by the IEC technical committee on alarm and electronic security systems as an international standard in June 2020.\n\nSIA OSDP v2.2 aims to duplicate the contents and terminology that were required in the IEC standardisation process, harmonising the SIA published protocol series and the IEC standard. Future versions of OSDP will continue to follow the IEC formatting conventions, enabling the always-evolving work of the SIA SODP Working Group to be more easily adopted through the IEC standards process.\n\nwww.securityindustry.org<\/a>","post_title":"Version 2.2 of SIA OSDP standard unveiled","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"version-2-2-of-sia-osdp-standard-unveiled","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2020-12-17 12:30:13","post_modified_gmt":"2020-12-17 12:30:13","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4295","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4356,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2020-12-23 09:16:00","post_date_gmt":"2020-12-23 09:16:00","post_content":"In our series of 2021 predictions, Robin Hughes of Secure Logiq talks about video analytics.","post_title":"SOS 2021 Predictions | 'Video Analytics' with Secure Logiq","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"sos-2021-predictions-video-analytics-with-secure-logiq","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-01-23 10:49:50","post_modified_gmt":"2023-01-23 10:49:50","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4356","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4286,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2020-12-16 14:33:59","post_date_gmt":"2020-12-16 14:33:59","post_content":"Simon Wheeler and Neil Bain from Controlled.co.uk, discuss how the security industry may change in a post-pandemic world.","post_title":"SOS Opinion | Will the security industry return to normal after the pandemic?

It will serve to deliver a realistic environment for the simulation and training of Highways England personnel in order to give them real-world exposure to motorway scenarios.\n\nThe training centre was installed into a repurposed 30m x 8m long rectangular office space but will move to a much larger dedicated virtual reality stage once testing is complete. The training centre combines stereoscopic 3D headsets, open-backed binaural headphones with a full procedural 3D speaker environment, fulfilled by a Martin Audio CDD system. The training space was a project that combined the skills of MagicBeans, MXT Reality and Old Barn Audio.\n\n\u201cFor the Highways England installation we were asked to recreate the complex and dynamic sound of a real section of motorway for training purposes,\u201d explained Gareth Llewellyn, MD at MagicBeans. \u201cIt is important that this volumetric audio simulation has both the power and the subtlety to achieve the goal of a true-to-life reconstruction of this complex procedural sound field, as well as offering trainees a realistic visceral experience of working in these hazardous environments. We trust Martin Audio speakers to deliver the necessary punch and clarity to achieve these goals in this complex spatial audio environment. The Martin Audio installation offers the right combination of power, reliability, quality and price that makes this installation such an impressive and successful experience for client and end user.\"\n\nwww.martin-audio.com<\/a>","post_title":"Highways England creates virtual training theatre","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"highways-england-creates-virtual-training-theatre","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2020-12-03 10:26:32","post_modified_gmt":"2020-12-03 10:26:32","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4137","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4098,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2020-11-30 16:53:15","post_date_gmt":"2020-11-30 16:53:15","post_content":"Suprema\u2019s intelligent biometric access controller CoreStation has acquired UL 294 compliance.

The complete end-to-end solution offers protection at the perimeter, entrance and exit points, as well as close monitoring of the gaming hall and individual machines, guarding against break-ins and criminal damage as well as tampering and fraud.\n\nCasinos must be adequately protected, not just to secure the premises and protect against fraud or theft, but also to fulfil legal requirements set by the Gambling Commission and local authorities. Napoleons Casinos & Restaurants owners, The A&S Leisure Group Ltd, sought to employ a system that would incorporate the latest advancements in security, without the need to use multiple providers. Axis, together with its partner Brock Business Support, specified and deployed a solution which was customised to fully support the casino\u2019s requirements.\n\n\u201cWhen looking at the requirements of the new site, integration between the surveillance and access control systems was important, together with high quality images from the cameras, and immediate video play back with audio,\u201d explained Guy Hewson, Head of Security at The A&S Leisure Group Ltd. \u201cWe turned to Brock Business Support who, through its close working partnership with Axis Communications, was able to specify a system that could be tailor made for our requirements.\u201d\n\nThe project saw 100 cameras installed at the site, requiring six AXIS T8524 PoE+ network switches and recording on three servers, all driven by the AXIS Camera Station software running over four viewing stations. The staff entrance utilises an AXIS A8004-VE network video door station, and all staff are admitted after scanning using a biometric reader. Inside, AXIS M3065-V network mini dome cameras cover back of house areas, providing a wide-angle view.\n\nGaming tables, money exchange areas, bars and slot machines are monitored by AXIS P3375-V network cameras with built in two-way audio functionality. At the roulette wheels AXIS F1015 sensor units sit inside the table displays, providing a discrete full view with recording capabilities and images that are clear and sharp. Externally, the perimeter is covered by AXIS P3245-LVE fixed dome network cameras with AXIS Lightfinder technology, ideal for variable lighting and weather conditions.\n\n\u201cMultiple factors were taken into consideration during the installation of the many cameras and sensors across the Napoleons Casinos site, which meant meticulous planning, right down to considerations around connectivity,\u201d said Dave Brock, Managing Director, Brock Business Support. \u201cFor example, the use of AXIS Zipstream technology meant that Cat-5E cabling could be used, meaning no need to upgrade. This represented an immediate cost saving for the casino\u2019s owners.\u201d\n\nWith the ability to capture and export live video data in real-time for the authorities in the event of an incident, Axis\u2019 solution provides peace of mind for all at the site. Satisfied that the new system has met all of its objectives, The A&S Leisure Group Ltd now plans to review the technologies at its other four sites, implementing variations on the design employed so successfully at the Manchester premises.\n\nwww.axis.com<\/a>","post_title":"Axis creates end-to-end security and surveillance solution for Manchester casino","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"axis-creates-end-to-end-security-and-surveillance-solution-for-manchester-casino","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2020-11-18 14:45:57","post_modified_gmt":"2020-11-18 14:45:57","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4012","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":3975,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2020-11-13 16:27:22","post_date_gmt":"2020-11-13 16:27:22","post_content":"\n

                     The 22nd ONVIF Developers\u2019 Plugfest took place this year as a virtual event in October. Nearly 50 developers and engineers from 26 ONVIF member companies gathered virtually over two weeks in and completed nearly 200 hours of testing. Developers could test products independently for profile conformance, as well as assess interoperability between their devices and those from other manufacturers.
                     
                     \u201cLike so many other organisations, ONVIF has had to adapt to new ways of collaborating and exchanging ideas,\u201d said Per Bj\u00f6rkdahl, chair of the ONVIF Steering Committee. \u201cInteroperability doesn\u2019t happen in a vacuum and, while nothing will replace valuable face-to-face interaction with our members, we are grateful for the continued participation of member companies in supporting ONVIF profile conformance.\u201d
                     
                     Profiles tested at this event include Profile A for access control configuration, Profile C for door control and event management, Profile S for basic video streaming, Profile T for advanced video streaming, Profile G for edge storage and retrieval, Profile Q for quick installation and the Profile M Release Candidate for metadata and analytics for smart applications.
                     
                     ONVIF Developers\u2019 Plugfests are typically held twice a year around the world, allowing the global members to gather and test their implementations. Due to the uncertain nature of the COVID-19 pandemic, details of the 23rd virtual ONVIF Developers\u2019 Plugfest will be announced at a later date.

                     Plymouth Rock Technologies has announced a binding LOI to acquire Tetra Drones, a developer of Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS). The transaction is set to take form of a corporate combination whereby PRT will acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of Tetra Drones. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                     \u201cAfter working closely with the PRT team on recent projects, it became clear that their vision, connections, and focus was something that my team and I wanted to evolve into\u201d, stated Ben Pickard, Director and Lead Designer of Tetra Drones Ltd. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                     \u201cBeing part of a focused public company also opens many doors that were once closed to Tetra when dealing with certain governments and agencies, as well as an offering a presence and expansion into the US market.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                     The terms of the LOI shall be a binding agreement of both parties and the form and substance of a definitive agreement (the 'Definitive Agreement') is to be negotiated on or before 30th April 2021. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                     \u201cLike PRT, Tetra is highly focused on supporting its customers around the world with the most reliable and purposeful products and services for their missions\u201d, said Carl Cagliarini, Chief Strategy Officer of PRT. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                     \u201cAs we welcome the Tetra team to PRT, we commit to moving forward into a sales phase within the USA and EU. The addition of the team members and facility ties in perfectly with our long-term strategy, which adds a significant expansion to PRT\u2019s reach and technical capability\u201d, concluded Cagliarini.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                     Plymouth Rock has agreed to acquire the Tetra Shares for the sum of \u00a3350,000 payable in instalments and satisfied in cash.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                     Payment of the Purchase Price will be on the following schedule:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                     1. As to 10% of the Purchase Price (\u00a335,000), within seven (7) days after the date the Definitive Agreement has been executed and delivered by all parties thereto (the \u201cInitial Payment<\/strong>\u201d);<\/li>
                     2. As to an additional 10% of the Purchase Price (\u00a335,000), within 21 days of the Initial Payment (the \u201cSecond Payment<\/strong>\u201d);<\/li>
                     3. As to an additional 40% of the Purchase Price (\u00a3140,000), within 120 days of the Second Payment (the \u201cThird Payment<\/strong>\u201d); and<\/li>

                        The Security Systems and Alarms Inspection Board (SSAIB) have achieved accreditation for BAFE's SP207 scheme for emergency evacuation systems - used by Fire and Rescue services to prioritise evacuation from residential high rise buildings and ensure people at risk in endangered areas can be safely evacuated. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                        The new development from BAFE covers the design, installation, commissioning and maintenance of emergency evacuations systems that will help to provide quality evidence of competency to deliver these services, while also supporting British Standard 8629 Evacuation Alert Systems for use by fire and rescue services in buildings containing flats. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                        \"Developed in response to a recommendation from the Grenfell Tower Phase 1 inquiry report, it is likely to become a requirement that you will need to be third-party certified to work on emergency evacuation systems going forward,\" said Keith Strugnell, SSAIB Fire Scheme Manager. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                        \"However, despite it being a brand new scheme, existing SSAIB-registered SP203-1 firms will find it comparable to their own scheme \u2013 as it utilises a similar format, albeit that the scheme document has been changed to make it more relevant to emergency evacuation systems. Therefore, in theory, you will satisfy the requirements for SP207 by default if you already have SP203-1.\" <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                        BAFE announced the scheme in the final quarter of 2020 and Keith went on to reveal that the leading UKAS-accredited certification body for the fire and security industries acted promptly to ensure that the organisation could add SP207 to its existing catalogue of BAFE fire schemes.
                        
                        Keith continued: \u201cWith regards to SSAIB, we completed training with BS 8629:2019 for our auditors and scheduled several pilot audits for those initial companies to achieve certification for this latest scheme that we provide certification for to the fire industry. We then collated all of the necessary criteria that was needed for our information packs and then we were ready to go.\"
                        
                        BAFE\u2019s director of schemes, Chris Auger, added: \u201cThe demand shown following the MHCLG consultation is unprecedented and represents a far greater awareness of systems and competency of their installers required following the tragedy of the Grenfell Tower Fire.
                        
                        \u201cWith the work BAFE have performed in conjunction with the industry and Fire and Rescue Service, we are pleased to offer a route to achieving this important third-party certification. Quality evidence of competency is going to have far greater scrutiny for everyone working in high-rise blocks in the very near future which can only be a good thing. This scheme will fill this crucial gap in providing confidence to specifiers knowing they are fulfilling their due diligence and continuing the \u2018golden thread\u2019 of accountability for the life safety of residents within the building.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                        \u201cThe expanding portfolio of BAFE schemes represents the necessity of quality evidence of competency required for niche, but extremely important, areas of the industry. Third-party certification is going to be a key focus of attention for the built environment moving forward and BAFE need to position itself to offer schemes that are both needed and, reflect the current concerns of occupants, regulators, service providers and building owners\/managers.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Unesco World Heritage Site is home to a 2,000-year-old army of clay statues, the world-famous Terracotta Warriors, guarding the tomb of China\u2019s first emperor. Several hundred TriTech motion detectors are deployed to protect the 16,300-square-foot museum against theft and damage. According to the manufacturer, these detectors prevent costly and time-consuming false alarms under challenging environmental conditions, while providing detection reliability of real alarms. Because of the intrusion detection system, which detects and reports any unauthorised intrusion into the security areas to security personnel in less than two seconds, the museum can dispense entirely with physical protective barriers such as glass walls.<\/p>\n

                        \u201cThe cooperation with Bosch is an excellent showcase of modern high-tech protection of historic buildings,\u201d said Ren Xuxin, Project Manager of Xi\u2019an Terracotta Warriors and Horses Pit Security Upgrade Project. \u201cBosch intrusion alarm systems help to upgrade the security level of these unique historic sites.\u201d<\/p>\n

                        As wall detectors, the TriTech motion detectors protect the pits where the terracotta warriors are located. Because these pits collect large amounts of dust that could cause false alarms, the intelligent sensor data fusion algorithm in each of the detectors checks potential alarms with PIR sensor and microwave Doppler radar for a consistent result. The area to be protected is also secured from above by ceiling-mounted TriTech motion detectors located 4.8m above the museum floor.<\/p>\n

                        In the event of an actual security breach, the Bosch G-Series system controller sends an alert, including the location of the triggered detector, to the security team in the control room, which uses live images from a video system to verify the alarm. In most cases, tourists trigger an alarm when they cross a threshold to retrieve their cameras or smartphones that have accidentally fallen into the pit. In doing so, there is a risk of damage to the priceless terracotta warriors.<\/p>\n

                        The TriTech motion detectors provide round-the-clock protection for the museum, which is visited by thousands of people every day. In accordance with the museum operator\u2019s list of requirements, the intrusion detection system protects not only the museum, including the perimeter, as well as the visitor areas of the mausoleum, but additionally the cultural treasures currently stored in the unmanned warehouse.<\/p>\nwww.boschbuildingtechnologies.com<\/a>","post_title":"Bosch intrusion alarm solution protects Chinese terracotta warriors","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"bosch-intrusion-alarm-solution-protects-chinese-terracotta-warriors","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-03-09 11:17:38","post_modified_gmt":"2021-03-09 11:17:38","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=5228","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":5179,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-03-05 09:32:12","post_date_gmt":"2021-03-05 09:32:12","post_content":"Ditek has promoted Wendy Gattis to Chief Executive Officer.

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":4851,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-02-08 16:44:28","post_date_gmt":"2021-02-08 16:44:28","post_content":"Motorola Solutions has added to its video security and analytics portfolio with the Artificial Intelligence Network Video Recorder (AI NVR).

CertAlarm is now able to offer these certifications.\n\nBack in 2018, The Technical Committee CEN\/TC 72 released two common standards \u2013 EN 54-5: 2017 + A1:2018, \u201cHeat detectors \u2013 Point heat detectors\u201d, and 54-7: 2018, \u201cSmoke detectors \u2013 Point smoke detectors that operate using scattered light, transmitted light or ionisation\u201d. Following this, the European Commission cited them in the OJEU in 2019. The updated provisions include increased requirements for the EMC-resilience of detectors.\n\nBoth updated standards are mandatory for products that are sold throughout the EU from the end of the transition period on August 31, 2022. That means that all manufacturers should now start with the update of their corresponding external certificates and internal declarations by applying the latest version of EN 54-5 and EN 54-7 to their products. In due course, all manufacturers of heat and smoke detectors will be required to apply to authorised Notified Bodies for a Certificate of Constancy of Performance to the new revisions, enabling them to update their DoPs (Declaration of Performance).\n\nThe majority of CertAlarm partners have been accredited by their national Accreditation Bodies and notified by the EU for testing and certification based on the two harmonised norms and can now fully support manufacturers in obtaining the respective certificates.\n\n\u201cWe want to provide a comprehensive, competitive and time-saving support to manufacturers by offering all relevant testing and certification services as a one-stop solution which is valid throughout Europe,\u201d said Anja Kinsky, General Manager of CertAlarm. \u201cWe\u2019re therefore pleased to announce that we also cover these new certification requirements.\u201d\n\nwww.certalarm.org<\/a>","post_title":"CertAlarm partners accredited new EN 54-5 and 54-7 standards","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"certalarm-partners-accredited-new-en-54-5-and-54-7-standards","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-03 16:06:31","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-03 16:06:31","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4816","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4788,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-02-02 11:52:44","post_date_gmt":"2021-02-02 11:52:44","post_content":"There has been a sharp increase in the necessity for businesses to adopt hosted video surveillance (VSaaS) and access control (ACaaS) solutions according to new research into the impact of Covid-19 on physical security purchasing decisions. While 70% of 1,000 senior decision makers in IT, security, FM and HR roles agree this to be the case, 78% also anticipate their organisations\u2019 use of cloud technologies to increase in the future as a result of Covid-19.\n\nMorphean commissioned the independent survey which revealed that over three-quarters (76%) of senior managers in UK, Germany and Sweden have increased their use of video conferencing (e.g. Microsoft Teams); 65% have increased their use of office applications (e.g. Microsoft 365); and 70% of those in the security sector are now strongly inclined towards cloud adoption.\n\n51% say their company is currently using a cloud-based service for video surveillance (VSaaS) and\/or access control (ACaaS). This is an increase of 3% over 2019 (48%) and broadly reflects projected growth in the physical security market from US$93.5 billion in 2020 to US$120.3 billion by 2025 at a CAGR of 5.2%. The accelerating adoption of hosted solutions is buoyed by its low cost set up, flexible scalability and demand for real-time and remote access to security data.\n\n\u201cThe results highlight a hosted physical security market that will see strong growth in 2021 as cloud applications are proven to deliver business continuity in challenging times,\u201d said Rodrigue Zbinden, CEO of Morphean SA. \u201cAt the height of the lockdown, many business premises were unoccupied and potentially vulnerable, but remote monitoring and maintenance made possible by hosted security were a welcome advantage. We also saw a spike in demand for frictionless access control enabling a totally hands-free experience and negating the need for physical contact. Business leaders will now be considering the learnings from the past year and looking to apply them to boost productivity, streamline costs and make organisations more agile.\u201d\n\nFor security professionals already working with cloud services, the growth in connected digital devices through the IoT is resulting in an increased appetite for physical security, such as network cameras, to enhance existing IT systems and assist business intelligence gathering. The report shows that 95% agree that if an existing security system could deliver insights beyond security to assist decision making (i.e. occupancy or test and trace analytics), it would influence adoption.\n\nMore flexibility in working locations is the benefit respondents are most likely to identify from moving business functions to the cloud (50%), followed by easier collaboration (44%); more cost-effective (44%); safer\/better security (38%). It was found that 82% anticipate the levels\/frequency of remote workers and flexible working in their organisations to be higher post-pandemic and in the longer term than they were pre-pandemic.\n\nSecurity will need to be enhanced to facilitate greater flexibility in worker patterns. An access control solution which is linked to HR records, for example, can check the swipe of an access card against staff records. A staff member who is flagged as being on leave, absent or no longer employed will trigger an automated alert to the relevant personnel. Surveillance cameras also provide secondary authentication through visual clarification of an individual\u2019s identity.\n\n\u201cFor the physical security reseller, the study will demonstrate that hosted security solutions must play a major part in expanding their offering to a wiser customer base,\u201d said Zbinden. \u201cCloud-enabled physical security solutions represent an investment into improving security and operations, a chance to forge new business relationships, and an opportunity to embrace future proof technologies in preparation for whatever challenges the future might hold.\u201d\n\nRead the full report here<\/a>.\n\nwww.morphean.com<\/a>\n\n ","post_title":"Hosted video and access control sees sharp rise during the pandemic","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"hosted-video-and-access-control-sees-sharp-rise-during-the-pandemic","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-02 11:52:46","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-02 11:52:46","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4788","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4735,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-29 14:31:33","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-29 14:31:33","post_content":"Paxton is using online face-to-face training to offer installers the opportunity to understand and implement the latest updates to its flagship access control system Net2, and newest combined access control and video management system, Paxton10.

The manufacturer states that Cerberus Pace Modular and Compact offer a comprehensive PA\/VA solution, which can be integrated with fire protection and danger management systems. \n\n\u201cThanks to the Cerberus Pace systems, the user can cover all public and voice alarm needs with a single solution\u201d said Mario Kahlert, Head of Fire Safety at Siemens Smart Infrastructure. \u201cBy sharing the same state of the art technology as the modular system, but addressing small and simple applications, the Cerberus Pace Compact enables extensive customisation and is a cost-efficient solution for customers.\u201d \n\nThe range of potential applications covers any situation which require PA\/VA, including offices, hotels, airports, commercial facilities and educational buildings. As with the Modular system, Cerberus Pace Compact incorporates multiple redundancy levels and is also suitable for step-by-step modernisation of outdated systems. According to the manufacturer, the system\u2019s professional sound quality and low latency enable clear communication, both in emergency situations and for day-to-day announcements or music.\n\nCerberus Pace Compact is available in two versions: Compact 400 and Compact 1000. Wall mounted, despite its comparatively small size, Cerberus Pace Compact offers power of up to 2,000W and an additional backup amplifier and pilot tone amplifier. Cerberus Pace systems are fully compliant with the EN 54-16 standard and local codes of practice in European countries. The systems can cover all redundancy, ensuring there is adequate back-up. To support the safety-first approach, both high performing and reliable systems stand for no single point of failure, thanks to distributed intelligence, where each network participant has a CPU that allows the device to be made independent.\n\nCerberus Pace comes with dedicated configuration software and real-time engineering. The system can be configured live, while it is running, reportedly without causing any interruption to day-to-day activities. No shut down is necessary for maintenance or to change the configuration, with remote access ensuring business continuity, whatever the environment. \n\nCerberus Pace Compact can be combined with the Modular system using the same network and configuration tools to offer a wider choice of ancillary products (for example, amplifiers or audio matrix), while also enabling cost optimisation. In addition, both systems can be used for stepwise modernisations of older voice alarm systems (often using existing cabling), making it possible to futureproof the system to meet changing demands. Different connection options (loop, stub line, double stub lines, and even compatibility with star structures or T-taps) offer greater flexibility during the installation process.\n\nwww.siemens.com\/cerberus-pace<\/a>\n\n ","post_title":"Siemens launches compact PA\/VA solution","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"siemens-launches-compact-pa-va-solution","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-01-29 10:49:01","post_modified_gmt":"2021-01-29 10:49:01","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4727","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4633,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-21 18:40:49","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-21 18:40:49","post_content":"Montana State University-Northern is using Napco Security Technologies products in a school security project.

The benefits and convenience of contactless access control have been well documented prior to, and even more so during the pandemic. Being able to provide access credentials without having touch points not only offer users convenience, but also ensures they are reducing the risk of infection to themselves and others.\u201d\n\nPaxton Key works with Paxton10 readers, PaxLock Pro and Entry panels. 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":4609,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-19 15:02:03","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-19 15:02:03","post_content":"Simon Wheeler and Neil Bain from Controlled.co.uk discuss how systems integration contracts come to them and how they approach their relationships with clients.","post_title":"SOS Opinion | How Controlled.co.uk secure contracts in systems integration","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"sos-opinion-how-controlled-co-uk-secure-contracts-in-systems-integration","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-01-19 15:02:08","post_modified_gmt":"2021-01-19 15:02:08","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4609","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4597,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-18 12:03:55","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-18 12:03:55","post_content":"Bosch states that its new Autodome IP starlight 5100i offers enhanced image quality and built-in Artificial Intelligence (AI) to help operators react before a potential situation occurs. Designed for outdoor surveillance applications when light levels vary, the Autodome IP starlight 5100i has a new \u00bd inch camera sensor offering 4MP resolution and 20x optical zoom to detect people or objects at a maximum distance up to 1,676m.\n\nThe camera is equipped with advanced motion optimised High Dynamic Range (HDR-X) at 133dB and starlight technology, which the manufacturer states allows the camera to provide \u201cexceptional image quality during daytime and at lower light levels such as dusk and dawn without blurring of moving objects\u201d. The camera is weatherproof with vandal-resistant housing expanding its use to demanding city surveillance situations.\n\nBuilt-in AI, like video analytics, uses metadata to add sense and structure to video footage. Bosch states that this enables cameras to \u201cunderstand what they are seeing and gives customers a smart choice to know what is next\u201d.\n\nThe Autodome IP starlight 5100i camera comes with built-in Essential Video Analytics to deliver actionable insights that help operators react before a possible threat or unwanted situation occurs. This built-in AI captures relevant data for uses such as enforcing traffic regulations, detecting vehicles driving in the wrong direction, and delivering occupancy data, such as the number of vehicles entering and leaving a parking garage for smarter, more efficient parking. When idle, the camera can provide relevant, usable statistics like the number of people entering a specific area, analyse behavior, or assist in enforcing health and safety regulations such as raising awareness of a blocked emergency exit.\n\nHigher resolutions and frame rates, improved dynamic range, and enhanced light sensitivity are essential to capturing images that can distinguish individuals or objects for identification or proof. A unique feature of the Autodome IP starlight 5100i is the new \u00bd inch camera sensor offering 4MP resolution, 20x optical zoom, and durable housing to meet demanding applications, especially outdoors.\n\nThe AUTODOME\u2019s built-in starlight technology and HDR-X technology are described as an \u201cideal combination\u201d for this mid-range moving camera. Starlight technology enables the camera to capture colour detail when light levels drop to nearly zero and maximise low light performance. HDR-X eliminates shadows and balances uneven exposure with a dynamic range of 133dB. Operators can locate a person or object in motion at a distance up to 1,676m and can manually track individuals of interest as they move, regardless of speed, far beyond a fixed camera\u2019s field of view.\n\nAll Bosch video security cameras offer built-in AI as standard and connect to the Bosch cloud for remote maintenance and device management. Systems integrators can work with customers remotely to perform service when they cannot meet face to face.\n\nWith the free Bosch Project Assistant software, systems integrators are supported in the planning, pre-configuration, commissioning and reporting for video security projects without the need to be physically near the cameras. The Bosch Remote Portal offers secure device management, set up and health monitoring via the Bosch cloud from anywhere.\n\nBecause video data is often highly critical and sensitive, Bosch has a systematic approach to maximising data security centered on a built-in Trusted Platform Module to keep video data secure. With remote configuration, management and planning, systems integrators can reduce installation and set-up time and minimise the number of commutes, resulting in sustainable business practices that are economically viable, socially responsible and environmentally friendly.\n\nwww.boschsecurity.com<\/a>","post_title":"Bosch offers built-in AI with Autodome IP starlight 5100i video camera","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"bosch-offers-built-in-ai-with-autodome-ip-starlight-5100i-video-camera","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-01-18 12:04:00","post_modified_gmt":"2021-01-18 12:04:00","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4597","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.

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":4505,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-10 10:46:00","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-10 10:46:00","post_content":"Optex\u2019 range of Intelligent Passive Infrared (PIR) sensors have been deployed by Harper Security Systems to cover three properties in the UK Home Counties and Lincolnshire.

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.

In addition, the Aperio\/Connect ONE integration works with popular Bosch, DMP, ELK and Honeywell Vista panels so they can be up and running with new specs quickly.\u201d\n\n\u201cIntegration with the Aperio locksets provides vIDix Control customers with the ability to extend electronic access to areas of their facility that are typically off limits to a wired solution,\u201d added Steve Lohman, Workplace Security Solutions Product Advocate, Ban-Koe Companies.\n\n\u201cConnect ONE offers a simple, scalable solution that complements the Aperio offering perfectly,\u201d stated Mark Duato, Executive Vice President, Aftermarket, Assa Abloy Opening Solutions Americas. \u201cThis integration will offer dealers and end-users a highly flexible solution for comprehensive access management.\n\n\u201cThe Aperio integration with vIDix Control combines ease of use with flexibility and scalability to enable comprehensive management for any facility,\u201d he continued.\n\nDiscussing the integration with the Frontier Integrated Platform, Bruce Rogoff, CEO of Matrix Systems, stated: \u201cThe Assa Abloy integration furthers our commitment to open platforms and helping customers secure even more of their facilities. Partnering with Assa Abloy gives Matrix the ability to help lower access control costs to the enterprise organisations we serve across the country.\u201d\n\n\u201cThe Matrix commitment to delivering the precise level of security an organization needs is an excellent fit for Assa Abloy,\u201d noted Duato. \u201cThe integration with our IP-enabled technology supports that commitment with a solution that makes it easier and more affordable to expand access control deeper into a facility.\u201d\n\nwww.assaabloydss.com<\/a>","post_title":"Assa Abloy integrates with Connected Technologies, Ban-Koe Companies and Matrix Systems","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"assa-abloy-integrates-with-connected-technologies-ban-koe-companies-and-matrix-systems","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-02-08 10:46:04","post_modified_gmt":"2023-02-08 10:46:04","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4301","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4295,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2020-12-23 11:10:00","post_date_gmt":"2020-12-23 11:10:00","post_content":"Version 2.2 of the SIA Open Supervised Device Protocol (OSDP) has been released by the Security Industry Association (SIA). OSDP is an access control communications standard developed by SIA to improve interoperability among access control and security products.\n\nSIA OSDP version 2.2 features the messages and formatting that were included in the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) 60839-11-5 standard released earlier in 2020 and addresses some of the minor errata within that document. SIA OSDP version 2.2 replaces version 2.1.7 of the specification, released in 2015. The updates include an enhanced method for file transfer, which allows for the transfer of large data sets for firmware updates or graphics from an access control unit to a reader, clearer instructions for the implementation of SecureChannel to facilitate encrypted communications and updated messages for handling smartcard applications within the protocol.\n\nSIA OSDP version 2.2 is described as a bridge that allows for easier updates of the OSDP specification and the subsequent publishing of these enhancements as an international standard. SIA OSDP allows devices, such as card readers, control panels or other security management systems to work together, providing the security industry with a solution that moves far beyond the widely-used Wiegand standard in terms of security and functionality. A two-way channel and encryption pave the way for advanced security applications such as the handling of smart cards, biometrics and government applications that require Public Key Infrastructure or Federal Identity, Credential and Access Management requirements.\n\n\u201cSIA OSDP version 2.2 is a culmination of all of the work done over the past five years to prepare the protocol for international standardisation and fixes the majority of common implementation challenges faced by implementers of version 2.1.7,\u201d said Steve Rogers, co-chair of the SIA OSDP Working Group and president at IQ Devices.\n\nThe SIA OSDP standard is recommended for access control installations that require advanced security or will be used in government and other higher-security settings. In April 2020, SIA introduced SIA OSDP Verified, a comprehensive testing programme that validates a device\u2019s conformance to the SIA OSDP standard and related performance protocols. Maintained and developed by the SIA OSDP Working Group since 2011, the SIA OSDP standard was approved by the IEC technical committee on alarm and electronic security systems as an international standard in June 2020.\n\nSIA OSDP v2.2 aims to duplicate the contents and terminology that were required in the IEC standardisation process, harmonising the SIA published protocol series and the IEC standard. Future versions of OSDP will continue to follow the IEC formatting conventions, enabling the always-evolving work of the SIA SODP Working Group to be more easily adopted through the IEC standards process.\n\nwww.securityindustry.org<\/a>","post_title":"Version 2.2 of SIA OSDP standard unveiled","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"version-2-2-of-sia-osdp-standard-unveiled","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2020-12-17 12:30:13","post_modified_gmt":"2020-12-17 12:30:13","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4295","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4356,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2020-12-23 09:16:00","post_date_gmt":"2020-12-23 09:16:00","post_content":"In our series of 2021 predictions, Robin Hughes of Secure Logiq talks about video analytics.","post_title":"SOS 2021 Predictions | 'Video Analytics' with Secure Logiq","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"sos-2021-predictions-video-analytics-with-secure-logiq","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-01-23 10:49:50","post_modified_gmt":"2023-01-23 10:49:50","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4356","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4286,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2020-12-16 14:33:59","post_date_gmt":"2020-12-16 14:33:59","post_content":"Simon Wheeler and Neil Bain from Controlled.co.uk, discuss how the security industry may change in a post-pandemic world.","post_title":"SOS Opinion | Will the security industry return to normal after the pandemic?

The complete end-to-end solution offers protection at the perimeter, entrance and exit points, as well as close monitoring of the gaming hall and individual machines, guarding against break-ins and criminal damage as well as tampering and fraud.\n\nCasinos must be adequately protected, not just to secure the premises and protect against fraud or theft, but also to fulfil legal requirements set by the Gambling Commission and local authorities. Napoleons Casinos & Restaurants owners, The A&S Leisure Group Ltd, sought to employ a system that would incorporate the latest advancements in security, without the need to use multiple providers. Axis, together with its partner Brock Business Support, specified and deployed a solution which was customised to fully support the casino\u2019s requirements.\n\n\u201cWhen looking at the requirements of the new site, integration between the surveillance and access control systems was important, together with high quality images from the cameras, and immediate video play back with audio,\u201d explained Guy Hewson, Head of Security at The A&S Leisure Group Ltd. \u201cWe turned to Brock Business Support who, through its close working partnership with Axis Communications, was able to specify a system that could be tailor made for our requirements.\u201d\n\nThe project saw 100 cameras installed at the site, requiring six AXIS T8524 PoE+ network switches and recording on three servers, all driven by the AXIS Camera Station software running over four viewing stations. The staff entrance utilises an AXIS A8004-VE network video door station, and all staff are admitted after scanning using a biometric reader. Inside, AXIS M3065-V network mini dome cameras cover back of house areas, providing a wide-angle view.\n\nGaming tables, money exchange areas, bars and slot machines are monitored by AXIS P3375-V network cameras with built in two-way audio functionality. At the roulette wheels AXIS F1015 sensor units sit inside the table displays, providing a discrete full view with recording capabilities and images that are clear and sharp. Externally, the perimeter is covered by AXIS P3245-LVE fixed dome network cameras with AXIS Lightfinder technology, ideal for variable lighting and weather conditions.\n\n\u201cMultiple factors were taken into consideration during the installation of the many cameras and sensors across the Napoleons Casinos site, which meant meticulous planning, right down to considerations around connectivity,\u201d said Dave Brock, Managing Director, Brock Business Support. \u201cFor example, the use of AXIS Zipstream technology meant that Cat-5E cabling could be used, meaning no need to upgrade. This represented an immediate cost saving for the casino\u2019s owners.\u201d\n\nWith the ability to capture and export live video data in real-time for the authorities in the event of an incident, Axis\u2019 solution provides peace of mind for all at the site. Satisfied that the new system has met all of its objectives, The A&S Leisure Group Ltd now plans to review the technologies at its other four sites, implementing variations on the design employed so successfully at the Manchester premises.\n\nwww.axis.com<\/a>","post_title":"Axis creates end-to-end security and surveillance solution for Manchester casino","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"axis-creates-end-to-end-security-and-surveillance-solution-for-manchester-casino","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2020-11-18 14:45:57","post_modified_gmt":"2020-11-18 14:45:57","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4012","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":3975,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2020-11-13 16:27:22","post_date_gmt":"2020-11-13 16:27:22","post_content":"\n

                        The 22nd ONVIF Developers\u2019 Plugfest took place this year as a virtual event in October. Nearly 50 developers and engineers from 26 ONVIF member companies gathered virtually over two weeks in and completed nearly 200 hours of testing. Developers could test products independently for profile conformance, as well as assess interoperability between their devices and those from other manufacturers.
                        
                        \u201cLike so many other organisations, ONVIF has had to adapt to new ways of collaborating and exchanging ideas,\u201d said Per Bj\u00f6rkdahl, chair of the ONVIF Steering Committee. \u201cInteroperability doesn\u2019t happen in a vacuum and, while nothing will replace valuable face-to-face interaction with our members, we are grateful for the continued participation of member companies in supporting ONVIF profile conformance.\u201d
                        
                        Profiles tested at this event include Profile A for access control configuration, Profile C for door control and event management, Profile S for basic video streaming, Profile T for advanced video streaming, Profile G for edge storage and retrieval, Profile Q for quick installation and the Profile M Release Candidate for metadata and analytics for smart applications.
                        
                        ONVIF Developers\u2019 Plugfests are typically held twice a year around the world, allowing the global members to gather and test their implementations. Due to the uncertain nature of the COVID-19 pandemic, details of the 23rd virtual ONVIF Developers\u2019 Plugfest will be announced at a later date.

                        Plymouth Rock Technologies has announced a binding LOI to acquire Tetra Drones, a developer of Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS). The transaction is set to take form of a corporate combination whereby PRT will acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of Tetra Drones. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                        \u201cAfter working closely with the PRT team on recent projects, it became clear that their vision, connections, and focus was something that my team and I wanted to evolve into\u201d, stated Ben Pickard, Director and Lead Designer of Tetra Drones Ltd. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                        \u201cBeing part of a focused public company also opens many doors that were once closed to Tetra when dealing with certain governments and agencies, as well as an offering a presence and expansion into the US market.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                        The terms of the LOI shall be a binding agreement of both parties and the form and substance of a definitive agreement (the 'Definitive Agreement') is to be negotiated on or before 30th April 2021. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                        \u201cLike PRT, Tetra is highly focused on supporting its customers around the world with the most reliable and purposeful products and services for their missions\u201d, said Carl Cagliarini, Chief Strategy Officer of PRT. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                        \u201cAs we welcome the Tetra team to PRT, we commit to moving forward into a sales phase within the USA and EU. The addition of the team members and facility ties in perfectly with our long-term strategy, which adds a significant expansion to PRT\u2019s reach and technical capability\u201d, concluded Cagliarini.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                           The Security Systems and Alarms Inspection Board (SSAIB) have achieved accreditation for BAFE's SP207 scheme for emergency evacuation systems - used by Fire and Rescue services to prioritise evacuation from residential high rise buildings and ensure people at risk in endangered areas can be safely evacuated. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                           The new development from BAFE covers the design, installation, commissioning and maintenance of emergency evacuations systems that will help to provide quality evidence of competency to deliver these services, while also supporting British Standard 8629 Evacuation Alert Systems for use by fire and rescue services in buildings containing flats. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                           \"Developed in response to a recommendation from the Grenfell Tower Phase 1 inquiry report, it is likely to become a requirement that you will need to be third-party certified to work on emergency evacuation systems going forward,\" said Keith Strugnell, SSAIB Fire Scheme Manager. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                           \"However, despite it being a brand new scheme, existing SSAIB-registered SP203-1 firms will find it comparable to their own scheme \u2013 as it utilises a similar format, albeit that the scheme document has been changed to make it more relevant to emergency evacuation systems. Therefore, in theory, you will satisfy the requirements for SP207 by default if you already have SP203-1.\" <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                           BAFE announced the scheme in the final quarter of 2020 and Keith went on to reveal that the leading UKAS-accredited certification body for the fire and security industries acted promptly to ensure that the organisation could add SP207 to its existing catalogue of BAFE fire schemes.
                           
                           Keith continued: \u201cWith regards to SSAIB, we completed training with BS 8629:2019 for our auditors and scheduled several pilot audits for those initial companies to achieve certification for this latest scheme that we provide certification for to the fire industry. We then collated all of the necessary criteria that was needed for our information packs and then we were ready to go.\"
                           
                           BAFE\u2019s director of schemes, Chris Auger, added: \u201cThe demand shown following the MHCLG consultation is unprecedented and represents a far greater awareness of systems and competency of their installers required following the tragedy of the Grenfell Tower Fire.
                           
                           \u201cWith the work BAFE have performed in conjunction with the industry and Fire and Rescue Service, we are pleased to offer a route to achieving this important third-party certification. Quality evidence of competency is going to have far greater scrutiny for everyone working in high-rise blocks in the very near future which can only be a good thing. This scheme will fill this crucial gap in providing confidence to specifiers knowing they are fulfilling their due diligence and continuing the \u2018golden thread\u2019 of accountability for the life safety of residents within the building.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                           \u201cThe expanding portfolio of BAFE schemes represents the necessity of quality evidence of competency required for niche, but extremely important, areas of the industry. Third-party certification is going to be a key focus of attention for the built environment moving forward and BAFE need to position itself to offer schemes that are both needed and, reflect the current concerns of occupants, regulators, service providers and building owners\/managers.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                           The Mausoleum of Qin Shihuangdi in the city of Xi\u2019an has been outfitted with a comprehensive intrusion alarm system from Bosch Building Technologies. The Unesco World Heritage Site is home to a 2,000-year-old army of clay statues, the world-famous Terracotta Warriors, guarding the tomb of China\u2019s first emperor. Several hundred TriTech motion detectors are deployed to protect the 16,300-square-foot museum against theft and damage. According to the manufacturer, these detectors prevent costly and time-consuming false alarms under challenging environmental conditions, while providing detection reliability of real alarms. Because of the intrusion detection system, which detects and reports any unauthorised intrusion into the security areas to security personnel in less than two seconds, the museum can dispense entirely with physical protective barriers such as glass walls.<\/p>\n

                           \u201cThe cooperation with Bosch is an excellent showcase of modern high-tech protection of historic buildings,\u201d said Ren Xuxin, Project Manager of Xi\u2019an Terracotta Warriors and Horses Pit Security Upgrade Project. \u201cBosch intrusion alarm systems help to upgrade the security level of these unique historic sites.\u201d<\/p>\n

                           As wall detectors, the TriTech motion detectors protect the pits where the terracotta warriors are located. Because these pits collect large amounts of dust that could cause false alarms, the intelligent sensor data fusion algorithm in each of the detectors checks potential alarms with PIR sensor and microwave Doppler radar for a consistent result. The area to be protected is also secured from above by ceiling-mounted TriTech motion detectors located 4.8m above the museum floor.<\/p>\n

                           In the event of an actual security breach, the Bosch G-Series system controller sends an alert, including the location of the triggered detector, to the security team in the control room, which uses live images from a video system to verify the alarm. In most cases, tourists trigger an alarm when they cross a threshold to retrieve their cameras or smartphones that have accidentally fallen into the pit. In doing so, there is a risk of damage to the priceless terracotta warriors.<\/p>\n

                           The TriTech motion detectors provide round-the-clock protection for the museum, which is visited by thousands of people every day. In accordance with the museum operator\u2019s list of requirements, the intrusion detection system protects not only the museum, including the perimeter, as well as the visitor areas of the mausoleum, but additionally the cultural treasures currently stored in the unmanned warehouse.<\/p>\nwww.boschbuildingtechnologies.com<\/a>","post_title":"Bosch intrusion alarm solution protects Chinese terracotta warriors","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"bosch-intrusion-alarm-solution-protects-chinese-terracotta-warriors","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-03-09 11:17:38","post_modified_gmt":"2021-03-09 11:17:38","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=5228","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":5179,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-03-05 09:32:12","post_date_gmt":"2021-03-05 09:32:12","post_content":"Ditek has promoted Wendy Gattis to Chief Executive Officer.

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":4851,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-02-08 16:44:28","post_date_gmt":"2021-02-08 16:44:28","post_content":"Motorola Solutions has added to its video security and analytics portfolio with the Artificial Intelligence Network Video Recorder (AI NVR).

CertAlarm is now able to offer these certifications.\n\nBack in 2018, The Technical Committee CEN\/TC 72 released two common standards \u2013 EN 54-5: 2017 + A1:2018, \u201cHeat detectors \u2013 Point heat detectors\u201d, and 54-7: 2018, \u201cSmoke detectors \u2013 Point smoke detectors that operate using scattered light, transmitted light or ionisation\u201d. Following this, the European Commission cited them in the OJEU in 2019. The updated provisions include increased requirements for the EMC-resilience of detectors.\n\nBoth updated standards are mandatory for products that are sold throughout the EU from the end of the transition period on August 31, 2022. That means that all manufacturers should now start with the update of their corresponding external certificates and internal declarations by applying the latest version of EN 54-5 and EN 54-7 to their products. In due course, all manufacturers of heat and smoke detectors will be required to apply to authorised Notified Bodies for a Certificate of Constancy of Performance to the new revisions, enabling them to update their DoPs (Declaration of Performance).\n\nThe majority of CertAlarm partners have been accredited by their national Accreditation Bodies and notified by the EU for testing and certification based on the two harmonised norms and can now fully support manufacturers in obtaining the respective certificates.\n\n\u201cWe want to provide a comprehensive, competitive and time-saving support to manufacturers by offering all relevant testing and certification services as a one-stop solution which is valid throughout Europe,\u201d said Anja Kinsky, General Manager of CertAlarm. \u201cWe\u2019re therefore pleased to announce that we also cover these new certification requirements.\u201d\n\nwww.certalarm.org<\/a>","post_title":"CertAlarm partners accredited new EN 54-5 and 54-7 standards","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"certalarm-partners-accredited-new-en-54-5-and-54-7-standards","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-03 16:06:31","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-03 16:06:31","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4816","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4788,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-02-02 11:52:44","post_date_gmt":"2021-02-02 11:52:44","post_content":"There has been a sharp increase in the necessity for businesses to adopt hosted video surveillance (VSaaS) and access control (ACaaS) solutions according to new research into the impact of Covid-19 on physical security purchasing decisions. While 70% of 1,000 senior decision makers in IT, security, FM and HR roles agree this to be the case, 78% also anticipate their organisations\u2019 use of cloud technologies to increase in the future as a result of Covid-19.\n\nMorphean commissioned the independent survey which revealed that over three-quarters (76%) of senior managers in UK, Germany and Sweden have increased their use of video conferencing (e.g. Microsoft Teams); 65% have increased their use of office applications (e.g. Microsoft 365); and 70% of those in the security sector are now strongly inclined towards cloud adoption.\n\n51% say their company is currently using a cloud-based service for video surveillance (VSaaS) and\/or access control (ACaaS). This is an increase of 3% over 2019 (48%) and broadly reflects projected growth in the physical security market from US$93.5 billion in 2020 to US$120.3 billion by 2025 at a CAGR of 5.2%. The accelerating adoption of hosted solutions is buoyed by its low cost set up, flexible scalability and demand for real-time and remote access to security data.\n\n\u201cThe results highlight a hosted physical security market that will see strong growth in 2021 as cloud applications are proven to deliver business continuity in challenging times,\u201d said Rodrigue Zbinden, CEO of Morphean SA. \u201cAt the height of the lockdown, many business premises were unoccupied and potentially vulnerable, but remote monitoring and maintenance made possible by hosted security were a welcome advantage. We also saw a spike in demand for frictionless access control enabling a totally hands-free experience and negating the need for physical contact. Business leaders will now be considering the learnings from the past year and looking to apply them to boost productivity, streamline costs and make organisations more agile.\u201d\n\nFor security professionals already working with cloud services, the growth in connected digital devices through the IoT is resulting in an increased appetite for physical security, such as network cameras, to enhance existing IT systems and assist business intelligence gathering. The report shows that 95% agree that if an existing security system could deliver insights beyond security to assist decision making (i.e. occupancy or test and trace analytics), it would influence adoption.\n\nMore flexibility in working locations is the benefit respondents are most likely to identify from moving business functions to the cloud (50%), followed by easier collaboration (44%); more cost-effective (44%); safer\/better security (38%). It was found that 82% anticipate the levels\/frequency of remote workers and flexible working in their organisations to be higher post-pandemic and in the longer term than they were pre-pandemic.\n\nSecurity will need to be enhanced to facilitate greater flexibility in worker patterns. An access control solution which is linked to HR records, for example, can check the swipe of an access card against staff records. A staff member who is flagged as being on leave, absent or no longer employed will trigger an automated alert to the relevant personnel. Surveillance cameras also provide secondary authentication through visual clarification of an individual\u2019s identity.\n\n\u201cFor the physical security reseller, the study will demonstrate that hosted security solutions must play a major part in expanding their offering to a wiser customer base,\u201d said Zbinden. \u201cCloud-enabled physical security solutions represent an investment into improving security and operations, a chance to forge new business relationships, and an opportunity to embrace future proof technologies in preparation for whatever challenges the future might hold.\u201d\n\nRead the full report here<\/a>.\n\nwww.morphean.com<\/a>\n\n ","post_title":"Hosted video and access control sees sharp rise during the pandemic","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"hosted-video-and-access-control-sees-sharp-rise-during-the-pandemic","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-02 11:52:46","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-02 11:52:46","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4788","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4735,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-29 14:31:33","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-29 14:31:33","post_content":"Paxton is using online face-to-face training to offer installers the opportunity to understand and implement the latest updates to its flagship access control system Net2, and newest combined access control and video management system, Paxton10.

Installers are encouraged to interact with the trainers and other participants. Paxton trainers use a combination of presentation and demonstration, as well as provide the opportunity to get hands-on with Paxton systems using guided software instruction.\n\nAlongside the new face-to-face virtual training programme, Paxton is providing installers with 30 days of free access to the Paxton Learning Portal.\n\nRegister for Net2 or Paxton10 virtual courses here<\/a>.\n\nwww.paxton-access.com<\/a>","post_title":"Paxton offers installers online face-to-face training","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"paxton-offers-installers-online-face-to-face-training","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=4735","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4727,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-29 10:48:58","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-29 10:48:58","post_content":"Siemens Smart Infrastructure has unveiled a compact version of its Cerberus Pace Modular public address voice alarm (PA\/VA) solution. The manufacturer states that Cerberus Pace Modular and Compact offer a comprehensive PA\/VA solution, which can be integrated with fire protection and danger management systems. \n\n\u201cThanks to the Cerberus Pace systems, the user can cover all public and voice alarm needs with a single solution\u201d said Mario Kahlert, Head of Fire Safety at Siemens Smart Infrastructure. \u201cBy sharing the same state of the art technology as the modular system, but addressing small and simple applications, the Cerberus Pace Compact enables extensive customisation and is a cost-efficient solution for customers.\u201d \n\nThe range of potential applications covers any situation which require PA\/VA, including offices, hotels, airports, commercial facilities and educational buildings. As with the Modular system, Cerberus Pace Compact incorporates multiple redundancy levels and is also suitable for step-by-step modernisation of outdated systems. According to the manufacturer, the system\u2019s professional sound quality and low latency enable clear communication, both in emergency situations and for day-to-day announcements or music.\n\nCerberus Pace Compact is available in two versions: Compact 400 and Compact 1000. Wall mounted, despite its comparatively small size, Cerberus Pace Compact offers power of up to 2,000W and an additional backup amplifier and pilot tone amplifier. Cerberus Pace systems are fully compliant with the EN 54-16 standard and local codes of practice in European countries. The systems can cover all redundancy, ensuring there is adequate back-up. To support the safety-first approach, both high performing and reliable systems stand for no single point of failure, thanks to distributed intelligence, where each network participant has a CPU that allows the device to be made independent.\n\nCerberus Pace comes with dedicated configuration software and real-time engineering. The system can be configured live, while it is running, reportedly without causing any interruption to day-to-day activities. No shut down is necessary for maintenance or to change the configuration, with remote access ensuring business continuity, whatever the environment. \n\nCerberus Pace Compact can be combined with the Modular system using the same network and configuration tools to offer a wider choice of ancillary products (for example, amplifiers or audio matrix), while also enabling cost optimisation. In addition, both systems can be used for stepwise modernisations of older voice alarm systems (often using existing cabling), making it possible to futureproof the system to meet changing demands. Different connection options (loop, stub line, double stub lines, and even compatibility with star structures or T-taps) offer greater flexibility during the installation process.\n\nwww.siemens.com\/cerberus-pace<\/a>\n\n ","post_title":"Siemens launches compact PA\/VA solution","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"siemens-launches-compact-pa-va-solution","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-01-29 10:49:01","post_modified_gmt":"2021-01-29 10:49:01","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4727","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4633,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-21 18:40:49","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-21 18:40:49","post_content":"Montana State University-Northern is using Napco Security Technologies products in a school security project.

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":4609,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-19 15:02:03","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-19 15:02:03","post_content":"Simon Wheeler and Neil Bain from Controlled.co.uk discuss how systems integration contracts come to them and how they approach their relationships with clients.","post_title":"SOS Opinion | How Controlled.co.uk secure contracts in systems integration","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"sos-opinion-how-controlled-co-uk-secure-contracts-in-systems-integration","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-01-19 15:02:08","post_modified_gmt":"2021-01-19 15:02:08","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4609","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4597,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-18 12:03:55","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-18 12:03:55","post_content":"Bosch states that its new Autodome IP starlight 5100i offers enhanced image quality and built-in Artificial Intelligence (AI) to help operators react before a potential situation occurs. Designed for outdoor surveillance applications when light levels vary, the Autodome IP starlight 5100i has a new \u00bd inch camera sensor offering 4MP resolution and 20x optical zoom to detect people or objects at a maximum distance up to 1,676m.\n\nThe camera is equipped with advanced motion optimised High Dynamic Range (HDR-X) at 133dB and starlight technology, which the manufacturer states allows the camera to provide \u201cexceptional image quality during daytime and at lower light levels such as dusk and dawn without blurring of moving objects\u201d. The camera is weatherproof with vandal-resistant housing expanding its use to demanding city surveillance situations.\n\nBuilt-in AI, like video analytics, uses metadata to add sense and structure to video footage. Bosch states that this enables cameras to \u201cunderstand what they are seeing and gives customers a smart choice to know what is next\u201d.\n\nThe Autodome IP starlight 5100i camera comes with built-in Essential Video Analytics to deliver actionable insights that help operators react before a possible threat or unwanted situation occurs. This built-in AI captures relevant data for uses such as enforcing traffic regulations, detecting vehicles driving in the wrong direction, and delivering occupancy data, such as the number of vehicles entering and leaving a parking garage for smarter, more efficient parking. When idle, the camera can provide relevant, usable statistics like the number of people entering a specific area, analyse behavior, or assist in enforcing health and safety regulations such as raising awareness of a blocked emergency exit.\n\nHigher resolutions and frame rates, improved dynamic range, and enhanced light sensitivity are essential to capturing images that can distinguish individuals or objects for identification or proof. A unique feature of the Autodome IP starlight 5100i is the new \u00bd inch camera sensor offering 4MP resolution, 20x optical zoom, and durable housing to meet demanding applications, especially outdoors.\n\nThe AUTODOME\u2019s built-in starlight technology and HDR-X technology are described as an \u201cideal combination\u201d for this mid-range moving camera. Starlight technology enables the camera to capture colour detail when light levels drop to nearly zero and maximise low light performance. HDR-X eliminates shadows and balances uneven exposure with a dynamic range of 133dB. Operators can locate a person or object in motion at a distance up to 1,676m and can manually track individuals of interest as they move, regardless of speed, far beyond a fixed camera\u2019s field of view.\n\nAll Bosch video security cameras offer built-in AI as standard and connect to the Bosch cloud for remote maintenance and device management. Systems integrators can work with customers remotely to perform service when they cannot meet face to face.\n\nWith the free Bosch Project Assistant software, systems integrators are supported in the planning, pre-configuration, commissioning and reporting for video security projects without the need to be physically near the cameras. The Bosch Remote Portal offers secure device management, set up and health monitoring via the Bosch cloud from anywhere.\n\nBecause video data is often highly critical and sensitive, Bosch has a systematic approach to maximising data security centered on a built-in Trusted Platform Module to keep video data secure. With remote configuration, management and planning, systems integrators can reduce installation and set-up time and minimise the number of commutes, resulting in sustainable business practices that are economically viable, socially responsible and environmentally friendly.\n\nwww.boschsecurity.com<\/a>","post_title":"Bosch offers built-in AI with Autodome IP starlight 5100i video camera","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"bosch-offers-built-in-ai-with-autodome-ip-starlight-5100i-video-camera","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-01-18 12:04:00","post_modified_gmt":"2021-01-18 12:04:00","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4597","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.

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":4505,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-10 10:46:00","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-10 10:46:00","post_content":"Optex\u2019 range of Intelligent Passive Infrared (PIR) sensors have been deployed by Harper Security Systems to cover three properties in the UK Home Counties and Lincolnshire.

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.

OSDP is an access control communications standard developed by SIA to improve interoperability among access control and security products.\n\nSIA OSDP version 2.2 features the messages and formatting that were included in the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) 60839-11-5 standard released earlier in 2020 and addresses some of the minor errata within that document. SIA OSDP version 2.2 replaces version 2.1.7 of the specification, released in 2015. The updates include an enhanced method for file transfer, which allows for the transfer of large data sets for firmware updates or graphics from an access control unit to a reader, clearer instructions for the implementation of SecureChannel to facilitate encrypted communications and updated messages for handling smartcard applications within the protocol.\n\nSIA OSDP version 2.2 is described as a bridge that allows for easier updates of the OSDP specification and the subsequent publishing of these enhancements as an international standard. SIA OSDP allows devices, such as card readers, control panels or other security management systems to work together, providing the security industry with a solution that moves far beyond the widely-used Wiegand standard in terms of security and functionality. A two-way channel and encryption pave the way for advanced security applications such as the handling of smart cards, biometrics and government applications that require Public Key Infrastructure or Federal Identity, Credential and Access Management requirements.\n\n\u201cSIA OSDP version 2.2 is a culmination of all of the work done over the past five years to prepare the protocol for international standardisation and fixes the majority of common implementation challenges faced by implementers of version 2.1.7,\u201d said Steve Rogers, co-chair of the SIA OSDP Working Group and president at IQ Devices.\n\nThe SIA OSDP standard is recommended for access control installations that require advanced security or will be used in government and other higher-security settings. In April 2020, SIA introduced SIA OSDP Verified, a comprehensive testing programme that validates a device\u2019s conformance to the SIA OSDP standard and related performance protocols. Maintained and developed by the SIA OSDP Working Group since 2011, the SIA OSDP standard was approved by the IEC technical committee on alarm and electronic security systems as an international standard in June 2020.\n\nSIA OSDP v2.2 aims to duplicate the contents and terminology that were required in the IEC standardisation process, harmonising the SIA published protocol series and the IEC standard. Future versions of OSDP will continue to follow the IEC formatting conventions, enabling the always-evolving work of the SIA SODP Working Group to be more easily adopted through the IEC standards process.\n\nwww.securityindustry.org<\/a>","post_title":"Version 2.2 of SIA OSDP standard unveiled","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"version-2-2-of-sia-osdp-standard-unveiled","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2020-12-17 12:30:13","post_modified_gmt":"2020-12-17 12:30:13","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4295","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4356,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2020-12-23 09:16:00","post_date_gmt":"2020-12-23 09:16:00","post_content":"In our series of 2021 predictions, Robin Hughes of Secure Logiq talks about video analytics.","post_title":"SOS 2021 Predictions | 'Video Analytics' with Secure Logiq","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"sos-2021-predictions-video-analytics-with-secure-logiq","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-01-23 10:49:50","post_modified_gmt":"2023-01-23 10:49:50","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4356","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4286,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2020-12-16 14:33:59","post_date_gmt":"2020-12-16 14:33:59","post_content":"Simon Wheeler and Neil Bain from Controlled.co.uk, discuss how the security industry may change in a post-pandemic world.","post_title":"SOS Opinion | Will the security industry return to normal after the pandemic?

The complete end-to-end solution offers protection at the perimeter, entrance and exit points, as well as close monitoring of the gaming hall and individual machines, guarding against break-ins and criminal damage as well as tampering and fraud.\n\nCasinos must be adequately protected, not just to secure the premises and protect against fraud or theft, but also to fulfil legal requirements set by the Gambling Commission and local authorities. Napoleons Casinos & Restaurants owners, The A&S Leisure Group Ltd, sought to employ a system that would incorporate the latest advancements in security, without the need to use multiple providers. Axis, together with its partner Brock Business Support, specified and deployed a solution which was customised to fully support the casino\u2019s requirements.\n\n\u201cWhen looking at the requirements of the new site, integration between the surveillance and access control systems was important, together with high quality images from the cameras, and immediate video play back with audio,\u201d explained Guy Hewson, Head of Security at The A&S Leisure Group Ltd. \u201cWe turned to Brock Business Support who, through its close working partnership with Axis Communications, was able to specify a system that could be tailor made for our requirements.\u201d\n\nThe project saw 100 cameras installed at the site, requiring six AXIS T8524 PoE+ network switches and recording on three servers, all driven by the AXIS Camera Station software running over four viewing stations. The staff entrance utilises an AXIS A8004-VE network video door station, and all staff are admitted after scanning using a biometric reader. Inside, AXIS M3065-V network mini dome cameras cover back of house areas, providing a wide-angle view.\n\nGaming tables, money exchange areas, bars and slot machines are monitored by AXIS P3375-V network cameras with built in two-way audio functionality. At the roulette wheels AXIS F1015 sensor units sit inside the table displays, providing a discrete full view with recording capabilities and images that are clear and sharp. Externally, the perimeter is covered by AXIS P3245-LVE fixed dome network cameras with AXIS Lightfinder technology, ideal for variable lighting and weather conditions.\n\n\u201cMultiple factors were taken into consideration during the installation of the many cameras and sensors across the Napoleons Casinos site, which meant meticulous planning, right down to considerations around connectivity,\u201d said Dave Brock, Managing Director, Brock Business Support. \u201cFor example, the use of AXIS Zipstream technology meant that Cat-5E cabling could be used, meaning no need to upgrade. This represented an immediate cost saving for the casino\u2019s owners.\u201d\n\nWith the ability to capture and export live video data in real-time for the authorities in the event of an incident, Axis\u2019 solution provides peace of mind for all at the site. Satisfied that the new system has met all of its objectives, The A&S Leisure Group Ltd now plans to review the technologies at its other four sites, implementing variations on the design employed so successfully at the Manchester premises.\n\nwww.axis.com<\/a>","post_title":"Axis creates end-to-end security and surveillance solution for Manchester casino","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"axis-creates-end-to-end-security-and-surveillance-solution-for-manchester-casino","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2020-11-18 14:45:57","post_modified_gmt":"2020-11-18 14:45:57","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4012","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":3975,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2020-11-13 16:27:22","post_date_gmt":"2020-11-13 16:27:22","post_content":"\n

                           The 22nd ONVIF Developers\u2019 Plugfest took place this year as a virtual event in October. Nearly 50 developers and engineers from 26 ONVIF member companies gathered virtually over two weeks in and completed nearly 200 hours of testing. Developers could test products independently for profile conformance, as well as assess interoperability between their devices and those from other manufacturers.
                           
                           \u201cLike so many other organisations, ONVIF has had to adapt to new ways of collaborating and exchanging ideas,\u201d said Per Bj\u00f6rkdahl, chair of the ONVIF Steering Committee. \u201cInteroperability doesn\u2019t happen in a vacuum and, while nothing will replace valuable face-to-face interaction with our members, we are grateful for the continued participation of member companies in supporting ONVIF profile conformance.\u201d
                           
                           Profiles tested at this event include Profile A for access control configuration, Profile C for door control and event management, Profile S for basic video streaming, Profile T for advanced video streaming, Profile G for edge storage and retrieval, Profile Q for quick installation and the Profile M Release Candidate for metadata and analytics for smart applications.
                           
                           ONVIF Developers\u2019 Plugfests are typically held twice a year around the world, allowing the global members to gather and test their implementations. Due to the uncertain nature of the COVID-19 pandemic, details of the 23rd virtual ONVIF Developers\u2019 Plugfest will be announced at a later date.

                           Plymouth Rock Technologies has announced a binding LOI to acquire Tetra Drones, a developer of Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS). The transaction is set to take form of a corporate combination whereby PRT will acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of Tetra Drones. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                           \u201cAfter working closely with the PRT team on recent projects, it became clear that their vision, connections, and focus was something that my team and I wanted to evolve into\u201d, stated Ben Pickard, Director and Lead Designer of Tetra Drones Ltd. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                           \u201cBeing part of a focused public company also opens many doors that were once closed to Tetra when dealing with certain governments and agencies, as well as an offering a presence and expansion into the US market.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                           The terms of the LOI shall be a binding agreement of both parties and the form and substance of a definitive agreement (the 'Definitive Agreement') is to be negotiated on or before 30th April 2021. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                           \u201cLike PRT, Tetra is highly focused on supporting its customers around the world with the most reliable and purposeful products and services for their missions\u201d, said Carl Cagliarini, Chief Strategy Officer of PRT. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                           \u201cAs we welcome the Tetra team to PRT, we commit to moving forward into a sales phase within the USA and EU. The addition of the team members and facility ties in perfectly with our long-term strategy, which adds a significant expansion to PRT\u2019s reach and technical capability\u201d, concluded Cagliarini.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                           Payment of the Purchase Price will be on the following schedule:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                           1. As to 10% of the Purchase Price (\u00a335,000), within seven (7) days after the date the Definitive Agreement has been executed and delivered by all parties thereto (the \u201cInitial Payment<\/strong>\u201d);<\/li>

                              The Security Systems and Alarms Inspection Board (SSAIB) have achieved accreditation for BAFE's SP207 scheme for emergency evacuation systems - used by Fire and Rescue services to prioritise evacuation from residential high rise buildings and ensure people at risk in endangered areas can be safely evacuated. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                              The new development from BAFE covers the design, installation, commissioning and maintenance of emergency evacuations systems that will help to provide quality evidence of competency to deliver these services, while also supporting British Standard 8629 Evacuation Alert Systems for use by fire and rescue services in buildings containing flats. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                              \"Developed in response to a recommendation from the Grenfell Tower Phase 1 inquiry report, it is likely to become a requirement that you will need to be third-party certified to work on emergency evacuation systems going forward,\" said Keith Strugnell, SSAIB Fire Scheme Manager. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                              \"However, despite it being a brand new scheme, existing SSAIB-registered SP203-1 firms will find it comparable to their own scheme \u2013 as it utilises a similar format, albeit that the scheme document has been changed to make it more relevant to emergency evacuation systems. Therefore, in theory, you will satisfy the requirements for SP207 by default if you already have SP203-1.\" <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                              BAFE announced the scheme in the final quarter of 2020 and Keith went on to reveal that the leading UKAS-accredited certification body for the fire and security industries acted promptly to ensure that the organisation could add SP207 to its existing catalogue of BAFE fire schemes.
                              
                              Keith continued: \u201cWith regards to SSAIB, we completed training with BS 8629:2019 for our auditors and scheduled several pilot audits for those initial companies to achieve certification for this latest scheme that we provide certification for to the fire industry. We then collated all of the necessary criteria that was needed for our information packs and then we were ready to go.\"
                              
                              BAFE\u2019s director of schemes, Chris Auger, added: \u201cThe demand shown following the MHCLG consultation is unprecedented and represents a far greater awareness of systems and competency of their installers required following the tragedy of the Grenfell Tower Fire.
                              
                              \u201cWith the work BAFE have performed in conjunction with the industry and Fire and Rescue Service, we are pleased to offer a route to achieving this important third-party certification. Quality evidence of competency is going to have far greater scrutiny for everyone working in high-rise blocks in the very near future which can only be a good thing. This scheme will fill this crucial gap in providing confidence to specifiers knowing they are fulfilling their due diligence and continuing the \u2018golden thread\u2019 of accountability for the life safety of residents within the building.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                              \u201cThe expanding portfolio of BAFE schemes represents the necessity of quality evidence of competency required for niche, but extremely important, areas of the industry. Third-party certification is going to be a key focus of attention for the built environment moving forward and BAFE need to position itself to offer schemes that are both needed and, reflect the current concerns of occupants, regulators, service providers and building owners\/managers.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                              The Mausoleum of Qin Shihuangdi in the city of Xi\u2019an has been outfitted with a comprehensive intrusion alarm system from Bosch Building Technologies. The Unesco World Heritage Site is home to a 2,000-year-old army of clay statues, the world-famous Terracotta Warriors, guarding the tomb of China\u2019s first emperor. Several hundred TriTech motion detectors are deployed to protect the 16,300-square-foot museum against theft and damage. According to the manufacturer, these detectors prevent costly and time-consuming false alarms under challenging environmental conditions, while providing detection reliability of real alarms. Because of the intrusion detection system, which detects and reports any unauthorised intrusion into the security areas to security personnel in less than two seconds, the museum can dispense entirely with physical protective barriers such as glass walls.<\/p>\n

                              \u201cThe cooperation with Bosch is an excellent showcase of modern high-tech protection of historic buildings,\u201d said Ren Xuxin, Project Manager of Xi\u2019an Terracotta Warriors and Horses Pit Security Upgrade Project. \u201cBosch intrusion alarm systems help to upgrade the security level of these unique historic sites.\u201d<\/p>\n

                              As wall detectors, the TriTech motion detectors protect the pits where the terracotta warriors are located. Because these pits collect large amounts of dust that could cause false alarms, the intelligent sensor data fusion algorithm in each of the detectors checks potential alarms with PIR sensor and microwave Doppler radar for a consistent result. The area to be protected is also secured from above by ceiling-mounted TriTech motion detectors located 4.8m above the museum floor.<\/p>\n

                              In the event of an actual security breach, the Bosch G-Series system controller sends an alert, including the location of the triggered detector, to the security team in the control room, which uses live images from a video system to verify the alarm. In most cases, tourists trigger an alarm when they cross a threshold to retrieve their cameras or smartphones that have accidentally fallen into the pit. In doing so, there is a risk of damage to the priceless terracotta warriors.<\/p>\n

                              The TriTech motion detectors provide round-the-clock protection for the museum, which is visited by thousands of people every day. In accordance with the museum operator\u2019s list of requirements, the intrusion detection system protects not only the museum, including the perimeter, as well as the visitor areas of the mausoleum, but additionally the cultural treasures currently stored in the unmanned warehouse.<\/p>\nwww.boschbuildingtechnologies.com<\/a>","post_title":"Bosch intrusion alarm solution protects Chinese terracotta warriors","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"bosch-intrusion-alarm-solution-protects-chinese-terracotta-warriors","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-03-09 11:17:38","post_modified_gmt":"2021-03-09 11:17:38","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=5228","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":5179,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-03-05 09:32:12","post_date_gmt":"2021-03-05 09:32:12","post_content":"Ditek has promoted Wendy Gattis to Chief Executive Officer.

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":4851,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-02-08 16:44:28","post_date_gmt":"2021-02-08 16:44:28","post_content":"Motorola Solutions has added to its video security and analytics portfolio with the Artificial Intelligence Network Video Recorder (AI NVR).

CertAlarm is now able to offer these certifications.\n\nBack in 2018, The Technical Committee CEN\/TC 72 released two common standards \u2013 EN 54-5: 2017 + A1:2018, \u201cHeat detectors \u2013 Point heat detectors\u201d, and 54-7: 2018, \u201cSmoke detectors \u2013 Point smoke detectors that operate using scattered light, transmitted light or ionisation\u201d. Following this, the European Commission cited them in the OJEU in 2019. The updated provisions include increased requirements for the EMC-resilience of detectors.\n\nBoth updated standards are mandatory for products that are sold throughout the EU from the end of the transition period on August 31, 2022. That means that all manufacturers should now start with the update of their corresponding external certificates and internal declarations by applying the latest version of EN 54-5 and EN 54-7 to their products. In due course, all manufacturers of heat and smoke detectors will be required to apply to authorised Notified Bodies for a Certificate of Constancy of Performance to the new revisions, enabling them to update their DoPs (Declaration of Performance).\n\nThe majority of CertAlarm partners have been accredited by their national Accreditation Bodies and notified by the EU for testing and certification based on the two harmonised norms and can now fully support manufacturers in obtaining the respective certificates.\n\n\u201cWe want to provide a comprehensive, competitive and time-saving support to manufacturers by offering all relevant testing and certification services as a one-stop solution which is valid throughout Europe,\u201d said Anja Kinsky, General Manager of CertAlarm. \u201cWe\u2019re therefore pleased to announce that we also cover these new certification requirements.\u201d\n\nwww.certalarm.org<\/a>","post_title":"CertAlarm partners accredited new EN 54-5 and 54-7 standards","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"certalarm-partners-accredited-new-en-54-5-and-54-7-standards","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-03 16:06:31","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-03 16:06:31","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4816","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4788,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-02-02 11:52:44","post_date_gmt":"2021-02-02 11:52:44","post_content":"There has been a sharp increase in the necessity for businesses to adopt hosted video surveillance (VSaaS) and access control (ACaaS) solutions according to new research into the impact of Covid-19 on physical security purchasing decisions. While 70% of 1,000 senior decision makers in IT, security, FM and HR roles agree this to be the case, 78% also anticipate their organisations\u2019 use of cloud technologies to increase in the future as a result of Covid-19.\n\nMorphean commissioned the independent survey which revealed that over three-quarters (76%) of senior managers in UK, Germany and Sweden have increased their use of video conferencing (e.g. Microsoft Teams); 65% have increased their use of office applications (e.g. Microsoft 365); and 70% of those in the security sector are now strongly inclined towards cloud adoption.\n\n51% say their company is currently using a cloud-based service for video surveillance (VSaaS) and\/or access control (ACaaS). This is an increase of 3% over 2019 (48%) and broadly reflects projected growth in the physical security market from US$93.5 billion in 2020 to US$120.3 billion by 2025 at a CAGR of 5.2%. The accelerating adoption of hosted solutions is buoyed by its low cost set up, flexible scalability and demand for real-time and remote access to security data.\n\n\u201cThe results highlight a hosted physical security market that will see strong growth in 2021 as cloud applications are proven to deliver business continuity in challenging times,\u201d said Rodrigue Zbinden, CEO of Morphean SA. \u201cAt the height of the lockdown, many business premises were unoccupied and potentially vulnerable, but remote monitoring and maintenance made possible by hosted security were a welcome advantage. We also saw a spike in demand for frictionless access control enabling a totally hands-free experience and negating the need for physical contact. Business leaders will now be considering the learnings from the past year and looking to apply them to boost productivity, streamline costs and make organisations more agile.\u201d\n\nFor security professionals already working with cloud services, the growth in connected digital devices through the IoT is resulting in an increased appetite for physical security, such as network cameras, to enhance existing IT systems and assist business intelligence gathering. The report shows that 95% agree that if an existing security system could deliver insights beyond security to assist decision making (i.e. occupancy or test and trace analytics), it would influence adoption.\n\nMore flexibility in working locations is the benefit respondents are most likely to identify from moving business functions to the cloud (50%), followed by easier collaboration (44%); more cost-effective (44%); safer\/better security (38%). It was found that 82% anticipate the levels\/frequency of remote workers and flexible working in their organisations to be higher post-pandemic and in the longer term than they were pre-pandemic.\n\nSecurity will need to be enhanced to facilitate greater flexibility in worker patterns. An access control solution which is linked to HR records, for example, can check the swipe of an access card against staff records. A staff member who is flagged as being on leave, absent or no longer employed will trigger an automated alert to the relevant personnel. Surveillance cameras also provide secondary authentication through visual clarification of an individual\u2019s identity.\n\n\u201cFor the physical security reseller, the study will demonstrate that hosted security solutions must play a major part in expanding their offering to a wiser customer base,\u201d said Zbinden. \u201cCloud-enabled physical security solutions represent an investment into improving security and operations, a chance to forge new business relationships, and an opportunity to embrace future proof technologies in preparation for whatever challenges the future might hold.\u201d\n\nRead the full report here<\/a>.\n\nwww.morphean.com<\/a>\n\n ","post_title":"Hosted video and access control sees sharp rise during the pandemic","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"hosted-video-and-access-control-sees-sharp-rise-during-the-pandemic","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-02 11:52:46","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-02 11:52:46","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4788","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4735,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-29 14:31:33","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-29 14:31:33","post_content":"Paxton is using online face-to-face training to offer installers the opportunity to understand and implement the latest updates to its flagship access control system Net2, and newest combined access control and video management system, Paxton10.

The manufacturer states that Cerberus Pace Modular and Compact offer a comprehensive PA\/VA solution, which can be integrated with fire protection and danger management systems. \n\n\u201cThanks to the Cerberus Pace systems, the user can cover all public and voice alarm needs with a single solution\u201d said Mario Kahlert, Head of Fire Safety at Siemens Smart Infrastructure. \u201cBy sharing the same state of the art technology as the modular system, but addressing small and simple applications, the Cerberus Pace Compact enables extensive customisation and is a cost-efficient solution for customers.\u201d \n\nThe range of potential applications covers any situation which require PA\/VA, including offices, hotels, airports, commercial facilities and educational buildings. As with the Modular system, Cerberus Pace Compact incorporates multiple redundancy levels and is also suitable for step-by-step modernisation of outdated systems. According to the manufacturer, the system\u2019s professional sound quality and low latency enable clear communication, both in emergency situations and for day-to-day announcements or music.\n\nCerberus Pace Compact is available in two versions: Compact 400 and Compact 1000. Wall mounted, despite its comparatively small size, Cerberus Pace Compact offers power of up to 2,000W and an additional backup amplifier and pilot tone amplifier. Cerberus Pace systems are fully compliant with the EN 54-16 standard and local codes of practice in European countries. The systems can cover all redundancy, ensuring there is adequate back-up. To support the safety-first approach, both high performing and reliable systems stand for no single point of failure, thanks to distributed intelligence, where each network participant has a CPU that allows the device to be made independent.\n\nCerberus Pace comes with dedicated configuration software and real-time engineering. The system can be configured live, while it is running, reportedly without causing any interruption to day-to-day activities. No shut down is necessary for maintenance or to change the configuration, with remote access ensuring business continuity, whatever the environment. \n\nCerberus Pace Compact can be combined with the Modular system using the same network and configuration tools to offer a wider choice of ancillary products (for example, amplifiers or audio matrix), while also enabling cost optimisation. In addition, both systems can be used for stepwise modernisations of older voice alarm systems (often using existing cabling), making it possible to futureproof the system to meet changing demands. Different connection options (loop, stub line, double stub lines, and even compatibility with star structures or T-taps) offer greater flexibility during the installation process.\n\nwww.siemens.com\/cerberus-pace<\/a>\n\n ","post_title":"Siemens launches compact PA\/VA solution","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"siemens-launches-compact-pa-va-solution","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-01-29 10:49:01","post_modified_gmt":"2021-01-29 10:49:01","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4727","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4633,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-21 18:40:49","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-21 18:40:49","post_content":"Montana State University-Northern is using Napco Security Technologies products in a school security project.

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":4609,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-19 15:02:03","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-19 15:02:03","post_content":"Simon Wheeler and Neil Bain from Controlled.co.uk discuss how systems integration contracts come to them and how they approach their relationships with clients.","post_title":"SOS Opinion | How Controlled.co.uk secure contracts in systems integration","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"sos-opinion-how-controlled-co-uk-secure-contracts-in-systems-integration","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-01-19 15:02:08","post_modified_gmt":"2021-01-19 15:02:08","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4609","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4597,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-18 12:03:55","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-18 12:03:55","post_content":"Bosch states that its new Autodome IP starlight 5100i offers enhanced image quality and built-in Artificial Intelligence (AI) to help operators react before a potential situation occurs. Designed for outdoor surveillance applications when light levels vary, the Autodome IP starlight 5100i has a new \u00bd inch camera sensor offering 4MP resolution and 20x optical zoom to detect people or objects at a maximum distance up to 1,676m.\n\nThe camera is equipped with advanced motion optimised High Dynamic Range (HDR-X) at 133dB and starlight technology, which the manufacturer states allows the camera to provide \u201cexceptional image quality during daytime and at lower light levels such as dusk and dawn without blurring of moving objects\u201d. The camera is weatherproof with vandal-resistant housing expanding its use to demanding city surveillance situations.\n\nBuilt-in AI, like video analytics, uses metadata to add sense and structure to video footage. Bosch states that this enables cameras to \u201cunderstand what they are seeing and gives customers a smart choice to know what is next\u201d.\n\nThe Autodome IP starlight 5100i camera comes with built-in Essential Video Analytics to deliver actionable insights that help operators react before a possible threat or unwanted situation occurs. This built-in AI captures relevant data for uses such as enforcing traffic regulations, detecting vehicles driving in the wrong direction, and delivering occupancy data, such as the number of vehicles entering and leaving a parking garage for smarter, more efficient parking. When idle, the camera can provide relevant, usable statistics like the number of people entering a specific area, analyse behavior, or assist in enforcing health and safety regulations such as raising awareness of a blocked emergency exit.\n\nHigher resolutions and frame rates, improved dynamic range, and enhanced light sensitivity are essential to capturing images that can distinguish individuals or objects for identification or proof. A unique feature of the Autodome IP starlight 5100i is the new \u00bd inch camera sensor offering 4MP resolution, 20x optical zoom, and durable housing to meet demanding applications, especially outdoors.\n\nThe AUTODOME\u2019s built-in starlight technology and HDR-X technology are described as an \u201cideal combination\u201d for this mid-range moving camera. Starlight technology enables the camera to capture colour detail when light levels drop to nearly zero and maximise low light performance. HDR-X eliminates shadows and balances uneven exposure with a dynamic range of 133dB. Operators can locate a person or object in motion at a distance up to 1,676m and can manually track individuals of interest as they move, regardless of speed, far beyond a fixed camera\u2019s field of view.\n\nAll Bosch video security cameras offer built-in AI as standard and connect to the Bosch cloud for remote maintenance and device management. Systems integrators can work with customers remotely to perform service when they cannot meet face to face.\n\nWith the free Bosch Project Assistant software, systems integrators are supported in the planning, pre-configuration, commissioning and reporting for video security projects without the need to be physically near the cameras. The Bosch Remote Portal offers secure device management, set up and health monitoring via the Bosch cloud from anywhere.\n\nBecause video data is often highly critical and sensitive, Bosch has a systematic approach to maximising data security centered on a built-in Trusted Platform Module to keep video data secure. With remote configuration, management and planning, systems integrators can reduce installation and set-up time and minimise the number of commutes, resulting in sustainable business practices that are economically viable, socially responsible and environmentally friendly.\n\nwww.boschsecurity.com<\/a>","post_title":"Bosch offers built-in AI with Autodome IP starlight 5100i video camera","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"bosch-offers-built-in-ai-with-autodome-ip-starlight-5100i-video-camera","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-01-18 12:04:00","post_modified_gmt":"2021-01-18 12:04:00","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4597","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.

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":4505,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-10 10:46:00","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-10 10:46:00","post_content":"Optex\u2019 range of Intelligent Passive Infrared (PIR) sensors have been deployed by Harper Security Systems to cover three properties in the UK Home Counties and Lincolnshire.

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. Click here<\/a> to register now. Those who are unable to attend this event can fill out the form on the Boon Edam website<\/a> to schedule a virtual 1-hour lunch-and-learn presentation.\n\nwww.boonedam.us<\/a>","post_title":"Boon Edam educates architects on the role of security entrances","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"boon-edam-educates-architects-on-the-role-of-security-entrances","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-01-07 19:10:20","post_modified_gmt":"2021-01-07 19:10:20","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4448","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4432,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-05 16:00:40","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-05 16:00:40","post_content":"Simon Wheeler and Neil Bain from Controlled.co.uk explain how they are approaching integrated systems installation during the Covid-19 pandemic.","post_title":"SOS Opinion | Installing integrated systems during the pandemic, with Controlled.co.uk","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"sos-opinion-installing-integrated-systems-during-the-pandemic-with-controlled-co-uk","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-01-05 16:00:42","post_modified_gmt":"2021-01-05 16:00:42","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4432","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4301,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2020-12-28 09:17:00","post_date_gmt":"2020-12-28 09:17:00","post_content":"Assa Abloy Opening Solutions has announced three new technology integrations with third party manufacturers.

OSDP is an access control communications standard developed by SIA to improve interoperability among access control and security products.\n\nSIA OSDP version 2.2 features the messages and formatting that were included in the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) 60839-11-5 standard released earlier in 2020 and addresses some of the minor errata within that document. SIA OSDP version 2.2 replaces version 2.1.7 of the specification, released in 2015. The updates include an enhanced method for file transfer, which allows for the transfer of large data sets for firmware updates or graphics from an access control unit to a reader, clearer instructions for the implementation of SecureChannel to facilitate encrypted communications and updated messages for handling smartcard applications within the protocol.\n\nSIA OSDP version 2.2 is described as a bridge that allows for easier updates of the OSDP specification and the subsequent publishing of these enhancements as an international standard. SIA OSDP allows devices, such as card readers, control panels or other security management systems to work together, providing the security industry with a solution that moves far beyond the widely-used Wiegand standard in terms of security and functionality. A two-way channel and encryption pave the way for advanced security applications such as the handling of smart cards, biometrics and government applications that require Public Key Infrastructure or Federal Identity, Credential and Access Management requirements.\n\n\u201cSIA OSDP version 2.2 is a culmination of all of the work done over the past five years to prepare the protocol for international standardisation and fixes the majority of common implementation challenges faced by implementers of version 2.1.7,\u201d said Steve Rogers, co-chair of the SIA OSDP Working Group and president at IQ Devices.\n\nThe SIA OSDP standard is recommended for access control installations that require advanced security or will be used in government and other higher-security settings. In April 2020, SIA introduced SIA OSDP Verified, a comprehensive testing programme that validates a device\u2019s conformance to the SIA OSDP standard and related performance protocols. Maintained and developed by the SIA OSDP Working Group since 2011, the SIA OSDP standard was approved by the IEC technical committee on alarm and electronic security systems as an international standard in June 2020.\n\nSIA OSDP v2.2 aims to duplicate the contents and terminology that were required in the IEC standardisation process, harmonising the SIA published protocol series and the IEC standard. Future versions of OSDP will continue to follow the IEC formatting conventions, enabling the always-evolving work of the SIA SODP Working Group to be more easily adopted through the IEC standards process.\n\nwww.securityindustry.org<\/a>","post_title":"Version 2.2 of SIA OSDP standard unveiled","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"version-2-2-of-sia-osdp-standard-unveiled","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2020-12-17 12:30:13","post_modified_gmt":"2020-12-17 12:30:13","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4295","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4356,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2020-12-23 09:16:00","post_date_gmt":"2020-12-23 09:16:00","post_content":"In our series of 2021 predictions, Robin Hughes of Secure Logiq talks about video analytics.","post_title":"SOS 2021 Predictions | 'Video Analytics' with Secure Logiq","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"sos-2021-predictions-video-analytics-with-secure-logiq","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-01-23 10:49:50","post_modified_gmt":"2023-01-23 10:49:50","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4356","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4286,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2020-12-16 14:33:59","post_date_gmt":"2020-12-16 14:33:59","post_content":"Simon Wheeler and Neil Bain from Controlled.co.uk, discuss how the security industry may change in a post-pandemic world.","post_title":"SOS Opinion | Will the security industry return to normal after the pandemic?

The complete end-to-end solution offers protection at the perimeter, entrance and exit points, as well as close monitoring of the gaming hall and individual machines, guarding against break-ins and criminal damage as well as tampering and fraud.\n\nCasinos must be adequately protected, not just to secure the premises and protect against fraud or theft, but also to fulfil legal requirements set by the Gambling Commission and local authorities. Napoleons Casinos & Restaurants owners, The A&S Leisure Group Ltd, sought to employ a system that would incorporate the latest advancements in security, without the need to use multiple providers. Axis, together with its partner Brock Business Support, specified and deployed a solution which was customised to fully support the casino\u2019s requirements.\n\n\u201cWhen looking at the requirements of the new site, integration between the surveillance and access control systems was important, together with high quality images from the cameras, and immediate video play back with audio,\u201d explained Guy Hewson, Head of Security at The A&S Leisure Group Ltd. \u201cWe turned to Brock Business Support who, through its close working partnership with Axis Communications, was able to specify a system that could be tailor made for our requirements.\u201d\n\nThe project saw 100 cameras installed at the site, requiring six AXIS T8524 PoE+ network switches and recording on three servers, all driven by the AXIS Camera Station software running over four viewing stations. The staff entrance utilises an AXIS A8004-VE network video door station, and all staff are admitted after scanning using a biometric reader. Inside, AXIS M3065-V network mini dome cameras cover back of house areas, providing a wide-angle view.\n\nGaming tables, money exchange areas, bars and slot machines are monitored by AXIS P3375-V network cameras with built in two-way audio functionality. At the roulette wheels AXIS F1015 sensor units sit inside the table displays, providing a discrete full view with recording capabilities and images that are clear and sharp. Externally, the perimeter is covered by AXIS P3245-LVE fixed dome network cameras with AXIS Lightfinder technology, ideal for variable lighting and weather conditions.\n\n\u201cMultiple factors were taken into consideration during the installation of the many cameras and sensors across the Napoleons Casinos site, which meant meticulous planning, right down to considerations around connectivity,\u201d said Dave Brock, Managing Director, Brock Business Support. \u201cFor example, the use of AXIS Zipstream technology meant that Cat-5E cabling could be used, meaning no need to upgrade. This represented an immediate cost saving for the casino\u2019s owners.\u201d\n\nWith the ability to capture and export live video data in real-time for the authorities in the event of an incident, Axis\u2019 solution provides peace of mind for all at the site. Satisfied that the new system has met all of its objectives, The A&S Leisure Group Ltd now plans to review the technologies at its other four sites, implementing variations on the design employed so successfully at the Manchester premises.\n\nwww.axis.com<\/a>","post_title":"Axis creates end-to-end security and surveillance solution for Manchester casino","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"axis-creates-end-to-end-security-and-surveillance-solution-for-manchester-casino","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2020-11-18 14:45:57","post_modified_gmt":"2020-11-18 14:45:57","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4012","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":3975,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2020-11-13 16:27:22","post_date_gmt":"2020-11-13 16:27:22","post_content":"\n

                              The 22nd ONVIF Developers\u2019 Plugfest took place this year as a virtual event in October. Nearly 50 developers and engineers from 26 ONVIF member companies gathered virtually over two weeks in and completed nearly 200 hours of testing. Developers could test products independently for profile conformance, as well as assess interoperability between their devices and those from other manufacturers.
                              
                              \u201cLike so many other organisations, ONVIF has had to adapt to new ways of collaborating and exchanging ideas,\u201d said Per Bj\u00f6rkdahl, chair of the ONVIF Steering Committee. \u201cInteroperability doesn\u2019t happen in a vacuum and, while nothing will replace valuable face-to-face interaction with our members, we are grateful for the continued participation of member companies in supporting ONVIF profile conformance.\u201d
                              
                              Profiles tested at this event include Profile A for access control configuration, Profile C for door control and event management, Profile S for basic video streaming, Profile T for advanced video streaming, Profile G for edge storage and retrieval, Profile Q for quick installation and the Profile M Release Candidate for metadata and analytics for smart applications.
                              
                              ONVIF Developers\u2019 Plugfests are typically held twice a year around the world, allowing the global members to gather and test their implementations. Due to the uncertain nature of the COVID-19 pandemic, details of the 23rd virtual ONVIF Developers\u2019 Plugfest will be announced at a later date.

                              Plymouth Rock Technologies has announced a binding LOI to acquire Tetra Drones, a developer of Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS). The transaction is set to take form of a corporate combination whereby PRT will acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of Tetra Drones. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                              \u201cAfter working closely with the PRT team on recent projects, it became clear that their vision, connections, and focus was something that my team and I wanted to evolve into\u201d, stated Ben Pickard, Director and Lead Designer of Tetra Drones Ltd. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                              \u201cBeing part of a focused public company also opens many doors that were once closed to Tetra when dealing with certain governments and agencies, as well as an offering a presence and expansion into the US market.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                              The terms of the LOI shall be a binding agreement of both parties and the form and substance of a definitive agreement (the 'Definitive Agreement') is to be negotiated on or before 30th April 2021. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                              \u201cLike PRT, Tetra is highly focused on supporting its customers around the world with the most reliable and purposeful products and services for their missions\u201d, said Carl Cagliarini, Chief Strategy Officer of PRT. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                              \u201cAs we welcome the Tetra team to PRT, we commit to moving forward into a sales phase within the USA and EU. The addition of the team members and facility ties in perfectly with our long-term strategy, which adds a significant expansion to PRT\u2019s reach and technical capability\u201d, concluded Cagliarini.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                              Plymouth Rock has agreed to acquire the Tetra Shares for the sum of \u00a3350,000 payable in instalments and satisfied in cash.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                              Payment of the Purchase Price will be on the following schedule:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                              1. As to 10% of the Purchase Price (\u00a335,000), within seven (7) days after the date the Definitive Agreement has been executed and delivered by all parties thereto (the \u201cInitial Payment<\/strong>\u201d);<\/li>

                                 The Security Systems and Alarms Inspection Board (SSAIB) have achieved accreditation for BAFE's SP207 scheme for emergency evacuation systems - used by Fire and Rescue services to prioritise evacuation from residential high rise buildings and ensure people at risk in endangered areas can be safely evacuated. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                 The new development from BAFE covers the design, installation, commissioning and maintenance of emergency evacuations systems that will help to provide quality evidence of competency to deliver these services, while also supporting British Standard 8629 Evacuation Alert Systems for use by fire and rescue services in buildings containing flats. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                 \"Developed in response to a recommendation from the Grenfell Tower Phase 1 inquiry report, it is likely to become a requirement that you will need to be third-party certified to work on emergency evacuation systems going forward,\" said Keith Strugnell, SSAIB Fire Scheme Manager. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                 \"However, despite it being a brand new scheme, existing SSAIB-registered SP203-1 firms will find it comparable to their own scheme \u2013 as it utilises a similar format, albeit that the scheme document has been changed to make it more relevant to emergency evacuation systems. Therefore, in theory, you will satisfy the requirements for SP207 by default if you already have SP203-1.\" <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                 BAFE announced the scheme in the final quarter of 2020 and Keith went on to reveal that the leading UKAS-accredited certification body for the fire and security industries acted promptly to ensure that the organisation could add SP207 to its existing catalogue of BAFE fire schemes.
                                 
                                 Keith continued: \u201cWith regards to SSAIB, we completed training with BS 8629:2019 for our auditors and scheduled several pilot audits for those initial companies to achieve certification for this latest scheme that we provide certification for to the fire industry. We then collated all of the necessary criteria that was needed for our information packs and then we were ready to go.\"
                                 
                                 BAFE\u2019s director of schemes, Chris Auger, added: \u201cThe demand shown following the MHCLG consultation is unprecedented and represents a far greater awareness of systems and competency of their installers required following the tragedy of the Grenfell Tower Fire.
                                 
                                 \u201cWith the work BAFE have performed in conjunction with the industry and Fire and Rescue Service, we are pleased to offer a route to achieving this important third-party certification. Quality evidence of competency is going to have far greater scrutiny for everyone working in high-rise blocks in the very near future which can only be a good thing. This scheme will fill this crucial gap in providing confidence to specifiers knowing they are fulfilling their due diligence and continuing the \u2018golden thread\u2019 of accountability for the life safety of residents within the building.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                 \u201cThe expanding portfolio of BAFE schemes represents the necessity of quality evidence of competency required for niche, but extremely important, areas of the industry. Third-party certification is going to be a key focus of attention for the built environment moving forward and BAFE need to position itself to offer schemes that are both needed and, reflect the current concerns of occupants, regulators, service providers and building owners\/managers.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                 The Mausoleum of Qin Shihuangdi in the city of Xi\u2019an has been outfitted with a comprehensive intrusion alarm system from Bosch Building Technologies. The Unesco World Heritage Site is home to a 2,000-year-old army of clay statues, the world-famous Terracotta Warriors, guarding the tomb of China\u2019s first emperor. Several hundred TriTech motion detectors are deployed to protect the 16,300-square-foot museum against theft and damage. According to the manufacturer, these detectors prevent costly and time-consuming false alarms under challenging environmental conditions, while providing detection reliability of real alarms. Because of the intrusion detection system, which detects and reports any unauthorised intrusion into the security areas to security personnel in less than two seconds, the museum can dispense entirely with physical protective barriers such as glass walls.<\/p>\n

                                 \u201cThe cooperation with Bosch is an excellent showcase of modern high-tech protection of historic buildings,\u201d said Ren Xuxin, Project Manager of Xi\u2019an Terracotta Warriors and Horses Pit Security Upgrade Project. \u201cBosch intrusion alarm systems help to upgrade the security level of these unique historic sites.\u201d<\/p>\n

                                 As wall detectors, the TriTech motion detectors protect the pits where the terracotta warriors are located. Because these pits collect large amounts of dust that could cause false alarms, the intelligent sensor data fusion algorithm in each of the detectors checks potential alarms with PIR sensor and microwave Doppler radar for a consistent result. The area to be protected is also secured from above by ceiling-mounted TriTech motion detectors located 4.8m above the museum floor.<\/p>\n

                                 In the event of an actual security breach, the Bosch G-Series system controller sends an alert, including the location of the triggered detector, to the security team in the control room, which uses live images from a video system to verify the alarm. In most cases, tourists trigger an alarm when they cross a threshold to retrieve their cameras or smartphones that have accidentally fallen into the pit. In doing so, there is a risk of damage to the priceless terracotta warriors.<\/p>\n

                                 The TriTech motion detectors provide round-the-clock protection for the museum, which is visited by thousands of people every day. In accordance with the museum operator\u2019s list of requirements, the intrusion detection system protects not only the museum, including the perimeter, as well as the visitor areas of the mausoleum, but additionally the cultural treasures currently stored in the unmanned warehouse.<\/p>\nwww.boschbuildingtechnologies.com<\/a>","post_title":"Bosch intrusion alarm solution protects Chinese terracotta warriors","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"bosch-intrusion-alarm-solution-protects-chinese-terracotta-warriors","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-03-09 11:17:38","post_modified_gmt":"2021-03-09 11:17:38","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=5228","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":5179,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-03-05 09:32:12","post_date_gmt":"2021-03-05 09:32:12","post_content":"Ditek has promoted Wendy Gattis to Chief Executive Officer.

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":4851,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-02-08 16:44:28","post_date_gmt":"2021-02-08 16:44:28","post_content":"Motorola Solutions has added to its video security and analytics portfolio with the Artificial Intelligence Network Video Recorder (AI NVR).

CertAlarm is now able to offer these certifications.\n\nBack in 2018, The Technical Committee CEN\/TC 72 released two common standards \u2013 EN 54-5: 2017 + A1:2018, \u201cHeat detectors \u2013 Point heat detectors\u201d, and 54-7: 2018, \u201cSmoke detectors \u2013 Point smoke detectors that operate using scattered light, transmitted light or ionisation\u201d. Following this, the European Commission cited them in the OJEU in 2019. The updated provisions include increased requirements for the EMC-resilience of detectors.\n\nBoth updated standards are mandatory for products that are sold throughout the EU from the end of the transition period on August 31, 2022. That means that all manufacturers should now start with the update of their corresponding external certificates and internal declarations by applying the latest version of EN 54-5 and EN 54-7 to their products. In due course, all manufacturers of heat and smoke detectors will be required to apply to authorised Notified Bodies for a Certificate of Constancy of Performance to the new revisions, enabling them to update their DoPs (Declaration of Performance).\n\nThe majority of CertAlarm partners have been accredited by their national Accreditation Bodies and notified by the EU for testing and certification based on the two harmonised norms and can now fully support manufacturers in obtaining the respective certificates.\n\n\u201cWe want to provide a comprehensive, competitive and time-saving support to manufacturers by offering all relevant testing and certification services as a one-stop solution which is valid throughout Europe,\u201d said Anja Kinsky, General Manager of CertAlarm. \u201cWe\u2019re therefore pleased to announce that we also cover these new certification requirements.\u201d\n\nwww.certalarm.org<\/a>","post_title":"CertAlarm partners accredited new EN 54-5 and 54-7 standards","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"certalarm-partners-accredited-new-en-54-5-and-54-7-standards","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-03 16:06:31","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-03 16:06:31","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4816","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4788,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-02-02 11:52:44","post_date_gmt":"2021-02-02 11:52:44","post_content":"There has been a sharp increase in the necessity for businesses to adopt hosted video surveillance (VSaaS) and access control (ACaaS) solutions according to new research into the impact of Covid-19 on physical security purchasing decisions. While 70% of 1,000 senior decision makers in IT, security, FM and HR roles agree this to be the case, 78% also anticipate their organisations\u2019 use of cloud technologies to increase in the future as a result of Covid-19.\n\nMorphean commissioned the independent survey which revealed that over three-quarters (76%) of senior managers in UK, Germany and Sweden have increased their use of video conferencing (e.g. Microsoft Teams); 65% have increased their use of office applications (e.g. Microsoft 365); and 70% of those in the security sector are now strongly inclined towards cloud adoption.\n\n51% say their company is currently using a cloud-based service for video surveillance (VSaaS) and\/or access control (ACaaS). This is an increase of 3% over 2019 (48%) and broadly reflects projected growth in the physical security market from US$93.5 billion in 2020 to US$120.3 billion by 2025 at a CAGR of 5.2%. The accelerating adoption of hosted solutions is buoyed by its low cost set up, flexible scalability and demand for real-time and remote access to security data.\n\n\u201cThe results highlight a hosted physical security market that will see strong growth in 2021 as cloud applications are proven to deliver business continuity in challenging times,\u201d said Rodrigue Zbinden, CEO of Morphean SA. \u201cAt the height of the lockdown, many business premises were unoccupied and potentially vulnerable, but remote monitoring and maintenance made possible by hosted security were a welcome advantage. We also saw a spike in demand for frictionless access control enabling a totally hands-free experience and negating the need for physical contact. Business leaders will now be considering the learnings from the past year and looking to apply them to boost productivity, streamline costs and make organisations more agile.\u201d\n\nFor security professionals already working with cloud services, the growth in connected digital devices through the IoT is resulting in an increased appetite for physical security, such as network cameras, to enhance existing IT systems and assist business intelligence gathering. The report shows that 95% agree that if an existing security system could deliver insights beyond security to assist decision making (i.e. occupancy or test and trace analytics), it would influence adoption.\n\nMore flexibility in working locations is the benefit respondents are most likely to identify from moving business functions to the cloud (50%), followed by easier collaboration (44%); more cost-effective (44%); safer\/better security (38%). It was found that 82% anticipate the levels\/frequency of remote workers and flexible working in their organisations to be higher post-pandemic and in the longer term than they were pre-pandemic.\n\nSecurity will need to be enhanced to facilitate greater flexibility in worker patterns. An access control solution which is linked to HR records, for example, can check the swipe of an access card against staff records. A staff member who is flagged as being on leave, absent or no longer employed will trigger an automated alert to the relevant personnel. Surveillance cameras also provide secondary authentication through visual clarification of an individual\u2019s identity.\n\n\u201cFor the physical security reseller, the study will demonstrate that hosted security solutions must play a major part in expanding their offering to a wiser customer base,\u201d said Zbinden. \u201cCloud-enabled physical security solutions represent an investment into improving security and operations, a chance to forge new business relationships, and an opportunity to embrace future proof technologies in preparation for whatever challenges the future might hold.\u201d\n\nRead the full report here<\/a>.\n\nwww.morphean.com<\/a>\n\n ","post_title":"Hosted video and access control sees sharp rise during the pandemic","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"hosted-video-and-access-control-sees-sharp-rise-during-the-pandemic","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-02 11:52:46","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-02 11:52:46","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4788","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4735,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-29 14:31:33","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-29 14:31:33","post_content":"Paxton is using online face-to-face training to offer installers the opportunity to understand and implement the latest updates to its flagship access control system Net2, and newest combined access control and video management system, Paxton10.

The manufacturer states that Cerberus Pace Modular and Compact offer a comprehensive PA\/VA solution, which can be integrated with fire protection and danger management systems. \n\n\u201cThanks to the Cerberus Pace systems, the user can cover all public and voice alarm needs with a single solution\u201d said Mario Kahlert, Head of Fire Safety at Siemens Smart Infrastructure. \u201cBy sharing the same state of the art technology as the modular system, but addressing small and simple applications, the Cerberus Pace Compact enables extensive customisation and is a cost-efficient solution for customers.\u201d \n\nThe range of potential applications covers any situation which require PA\/VA, including offices, hotels, airports, commercial facilities and educational buildings. As with the Modular system, Cerberus Pace Compact incorporates multiple redundancy levels and is also suitable for step-by-step modernisation of outdated systems. According to the manufacturer, the system\u2019s professional sound quality and low latency enable clear communication, both in emergency situations and for day-to-day announcements or music.\n\nCerberus Pace Compact is available in two versions: Compact 400 and Compact 1000. Wall mounted, despite its comparatively small size, Cerberus Pace Compact offers power of up to 2,000W and an additional backup amplifier and pilot tone amplifier. Cerberus Pace systems are fully compliant with the EN 54-16 standard and local codes of practice in European countries. The systems can cover all redundancy, ensuring there is adequate back-up. To support the safety-first approach, both high performing and reliable systems stand for no single point of failure, thanks to distributed intelligence, where each network participant has a CPU that allows the device to be made independent.\n\nCerberus Pace comes with dedicated configuration software and real-time engineering. The system can be configured live, while it is running, reportedly without causing any interruption to day-to-day activities. No shut down is necessary for maintenance or to change the configuration, with remote access ensuring business continuity, whatever the environment. \n\nCerberus Pace Compact can be combined with the Modular system using the same network and configuration tools to offer a wider choice of ancillary products (for example, amplifiers or audio matrix), while also enabling cost optimisation. In addition, both systems can be used for stepwise modernisations of older voice alarm systems (often using existing cabling), making it possible to futureproof the system to meet changing demands. Different connection options (loop, stub line, double stub lines, and even compatibility with star structures or T-taps) offer greater flexibility during the installation process.\n\nwww.siemens.com\/cerberus-pace<\/a>\n\n ","post_title":"Siemens launches compact PA\/VA solution","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"siemens-launches-compact-pa-va-solution","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-01-29 10:49:01","post_modified_gmt":"2021-01-29 10:49:01","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4727","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4633,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-21 18:40:49","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-21 18:40:49","post_content":"Montana State University-Northern is using Napco Security Technologies products in a school security project.

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":4609,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-19 15:02:03","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-19 15:02:03","post_content":"Simon Wheeler and Neil Bain from Controlled.co.uk discuss how systems integration contracts come to them and how they approach their relationships with clients.","post_title":"SOS Opinion | How Controlled.co.uk secure contracts in systems integration","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"sos-opinion-how-controlled-co-uk-secure-contracts-in-systems-integration","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-01-19 15:02:08","post_modified_gmt":"2021-01-19 15:02:08","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4609","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4597,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-18 12:03:55","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-18 12:03:55","post_content":"Bosch states that its new Autodome IP starlight 5100i offers enhanced image quality and built-in Artificial Intelligence (AI) to help operators react before a potential situation occurs. Designed for outdoor surveillance applications when light levels vary, the Autodome IP starlight 5100i has a new \u00bd inch camera sensor offering 4MP resolution and 20x optical zoom to detect people or objects at a maximum distance up to 1,676m.\n\nThe camera is equipped with advanced motion optimised High Dynamic Range (HDR-X) at 133dB and starlight technology, which the manufacturer states allows the camera to provide \u201cexceptional image quality during daytime and at lower light levels such as dusk and dawn without blurring of moving objects\u201d. The camera is weatherproof with vandal-resistant housing expanding its use to demanding city surveillance situations.\n\nBuilt-in AI, like video analytics, uses metadata to add sense and structure to video footage. Bosch states that this enables cameras to \u201cunderstand what they are seeing and gives customers a smart choice to know what is next\u201d.\n\nThe Autodome IP starlight 5100i camera comes with built-in Essential Video Analytics to deliver actionable insights that help operators react before a possible threat or unwanted situation occurs. This built-in AI captures relevant data for uses such as enforcing traffic regulations, detecting vehicles driving in the wrong direction, and delivering occupancy data, such as the number of vehicles entering and leaving a parking garage for smarter, more efficient parking. When idle, the camera can provide relevant, usable statistics like the number of people entering a specific area, analyse behavior, or assist in enforcing health and safety regulations such as raising awareness of a blocked emergency exit.\n\nHigher resolutions and frame rates, improved dynamic range, and enhanced light sensitivity are essential to capturing images that can distinguish individuals or objects for identification or proof. A unique feature of the Autodome IP starlight 5100i is the new \u00bd inch camera sensor offering 4MP resolution, 20x optical zoom, and durable housing to meet demanding applications, especially outdoors.\n\nThe AUTODOME\u2019s built-in starlight technology and HDR-X technology are described as an \u201cideal combination\u201d for this mid-range moving camera. Starlight technology enables the camera to capture colour detail when light levels drop to nearly zero and maximise low light performance. HDR-X eliminates shadows and balances uneven exposure with a dynamic range of 133dB. Operators can locate a person or object in motion at a distance up to 1,676m and can manually track individuals of interest as they move, regardless of speed, far beyond a fixed camera\u2019s field of view.\n\nAll Bosch video security cameras offer built-in AI as standard and connect to the Bosch cloud for remote maintenance and device management. Systems integrators can work with customers remotely to perform service when they cannot meet face to face.\n\nWith the free Bosch Project Assistant software, systems integrators are supported in the planning, pre-configuration, commissioning and reporting for video security projects without the need to be physically near the cameras. The Bosch Remote Portal offers secure device management, set up and health monitoring via the Bosch cloud from anywhere.\n\nBecause video data is often highly critical and sensitive, Bosch has a systematic approach to maximising data security centered on a built-in Trusted Platform Module to keep video data secure. With remote configuration, management and planning, systems integrators can reduce installation and set-up time and minimise the number of commutes, resulting in sustainable business practices that are economically viable, socially responsible and environmentally friendly.\n\nwww.boschsecurity.com<\/a>","post_title":"Bosch offers built-in AI with Autodome IP starlight 5100i video camera","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"bosch-offers-built-in-ai-with-autodome-ip-starlight-5100i-video-camera","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-01-18 12:04:00","post_modified_gmt":"2021-01-18 12:04:00","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4597","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.

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":4505,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-10 10:46:00","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-10 10:46:00","post_content":"Optex\u2019 range of Intelligent Passive Infrared (PIR) sensors have been deployed by Harper Security Systems to cover three properties in the UK Home Counties and Lincolnshire.

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.

OSDP is an access control communications standard developed by SIA to improve interoperability among access control and security products.\n\nSIA OSDP version 2.2 features the messages and formatting that were included in the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) 60839-11-5 standard released earlier in 2020 and addresses some of the minor errata within that document. SIA OSDP version 2.2 replaces version 2.1.7 of the specification, released in 2015. The updates include an enhanced method for file transfer, which allows for the transfer of large data sets for firmware updates or graphics from an access control unit to a reader, clearer instructions for the implementation of SecureChannel to facilitate encrypted communications and updated messages for handling smartcard applications within the protocol.\n\nSIA OSDP version 2.2 is described as a bridge that allows for easier updates of the OSDP specification and the subsequent publishing of these enhancements as an international standard. SIA OSDP allows devices, such as card readers, control panels or other security management systems to work together, providing the security industry with a solution that moves far beyond the widely-used Wiegand standard in terms of security and functionality. A two-way channel and encryption pave the way for advanced security applications such as the handling of smart cards, biometrics and government applications that require Public Key Infrastructure or Federal Identity, Credential and Access Management requirements.\n\n\u201cSIA OSDP version 2.2 is a culmination of all of the work done over the past five years to prepare the protocol for international standardisation and fixes the majority of common implementation challenges faced by implementers of version 2.1.7,\u201d said Steve Rogers, co-chair of the SIA OSDP Working Group and president at IQ Devices.\n\nThe SIA OSDP standard is recommended for access control installations that require advanced security or will be used in government and other higher-security settings. In April 2020, SIA introduced SIA OSDP Verified, a comprehensive testing programme that validates a device\u2019s conformance to the SIA OSDP standard and related performance protocols. Maintained and developed by the SIA OSDP Working Group since 2011, the SIA OSDP standard was approved by the IEC technical committee on alarm and electronic security systems as an international standard in June 2020.\n\nSIA OSDP v2.2 aims to duplicate the contents and terminology that were required in the IEC standardisation process, harmonising the SIA published protocol series and the IEC standard. Future versions of OSDP will continue to follow the IEC formatting conventions, enabling the always-evolving work of the SIA SODP Working Group to be more easily adopted through the IEC standards process.\n\nwww.securityindustry.org<\/a>","post_title":"Version 2.2 of SIA OSDP standard unveiled","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"version-2-2-of-sia-osdp-standard-unveiled","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2020-12-17 12:30:13","post_modified_gmt":"2020-12-17 12:30:13","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4295","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4356,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2020-12-23 09:16:00","post_date_gmt":"2020-12-23 09:16:00","post_content":"In our series of 2021 predictions, Robin Hughes of Secure Logiq talks about video analytics.","post_title":"SOS 2021 Predictions | 'Video Analytics' with Secure Logiq","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"sos-2021-predictions-video-analytics-with-secure-logiq","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-01-23 10:49:50","post_modified_gmt":"2023-01-23 10:49:50","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4356","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4286,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2020-12-16 14:33:59","post_date_gmt":"2020-12-16 14:33:59","post_content":"Simon Wheeler and Neil Bain from Controlled.co.uk, discuss how the security industry may change in a post-pandemic world.","post_title":"SOS Opinion | Will the security industry return to normal after the pandemic?

The complete end-to-end solution offers protection at the perimeter, entrance and exit points, as well as close monitoring of the gaming hall and individual machines, guarding against break-ins and criminal damage as well as tampering and fraud.\n\nCasinos must be adequately protected, not just to secure the premises and protect against fraud or theft, but also to fulfil legal requirements set by the Gambling Commission and local authorities. Napoleons Casinos & Restaurants owners, The A&S Leisure Group Ltd, sought to employ a system that would incorporate the latest advancements in security, without the need to use multiple providers. Axis, together with its partner Brock Business Support, specified and deployed a solution which was customised to fully support the casino\u2019s requirements.\n\n\u201cWhen looking at the requirements of the new site, integration between the surveillance and access control systems was important, together with high quality images from the cameras, and immediate video play back with audio,\u201d explained Guy Hewson, Head of Security at The A&S Leisure Group Ltd. \u201cWe turned to Brock Business Support who, through its close working partnership with Axis Communications, was able to specify a system that could be tailor made for our requirements.\u201d\n\nThe project saw 100 cameras installed at the site, requiring six AXIS T8524 PoE+ network switches and recording on three servers, all driven by the AXIS Camera Station software running over four viewing stations. The staff entrance utilises an AXIS A8004-VE network video door station, and all staff are admitted after scanning using a biometric reader. Inside, AXIS M3065-V network mini dome cameras cover back of house areas, providing a wide-angle view.\n\nGaming tables, money exchange areas, bars and slot machines are monitored by AXIS P3375-V network cameras with built in two-way audio functionality. At the roulette wheels AXIS F1015 sensor units sit inside the table displays, providing a discrete full view with recording capabilities and images that are clear and sharp. Externally, the perimeter is covered by AXIS P3245-LVE fixed dome network cameras with AXIS Lightfinder technology, ideal for variable lighting and weather conditions.\n\n\u201cMultiple factors were taken into consideration during the installation of the many cameras and sensors across the Napoleons Casinos site, which meant meticulous planning, right down to considerations around connectivity,\u201d said Dave Brock, Managing Director, Brock Business Support. \u201cFor example, the use of AXIS Zipstream technology meant that Cat-5E cabling could be used, meaning no need to upgrade. This represented an immediate cost saving for the casino\u2019s owners.\u201d\n\nWith the ability to capture and export live video data in real-time for the authorities in the event of an incident, Axis\u2019 solution provides peace of mind for all at the site. Satisfied that the new system has met all of its objectives, The A&S Leisure Group Ltd now plans to review the technologies at its other four sites, implementing variations on the design employed so successfully at the Manchester premises.\n\nwww.axis.com<\/a>","post_title":"Axis creates end-to-end security and surveillance solution for Manchester casino","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"axis-creates-end-to-end-security-and-surveillance-solution-for-manchester-casino","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2020-11-18 14:45:57","post_modified_gmt":"2020-11-18 14:45:57","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4012","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":3975,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2020-11-13 16:27:22","post_date_gmt":"2020-11-13 16:27:22","post_content":"\n

                                 Plymouth Rock Technologies has announced a binding LOI to acquire Tetra Drones, a developer of Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS). The transaction is set to take form of a corporate combination whereby PRT will acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of Tetra Drones. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                 \u201cBeing part of a focused public company also opens many doors that were once closed to Tetra when dealing with certain governments and agencies, as well as an offering a presence and expansion into the US market.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                 The terms of the LOI shall be a binding agreement of both parties and the form and substance of a definitive agreement (the 'Definitive Agreement') is to be negotiated on or before 30th April 2021. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                 \u201cLike PRT, Tetra is highly focused on supporting its customers around the world with the most reliable and purposeful products and services for their missions\u201d, said Carl Cagliarini, Chief Strategy Officer of PRT. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                 \u201cAs we welcome the Tetra team to PRT, we commit to moving forward into a sales phase within the USA and EU. The addition of the team members and facility ties in perfectly with our long-term strategy, which adds a significant expansion to PRT\u2019s reach and technical capability\u201d, concluded Cagliarini.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                 Plymouth Rock has agreed to acquire the Tetra Shares for the sum of \u00a3350,000 payable in instalments and satisfied in cash.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                    The Security Systems and Alarms Inspection Board (SSAIB) have achieved accreditation for BAFE's SP207 scheme for emergency evacuation systems - used by Fire and Rescue services to prioritise evacuation from residential high rise buildings and ensure people at risk in endangered areas can be safely evacuated. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                    The new development from BAFE covers the design, installation, commissioning and maintenance of emergency evacuations systems that will help to provide quality evidence of competency to deliver these services, while also supporting British Standard 8629 Evacuation Alert Systems for use by fire and rescue services in buildings containing flats. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                    \"Developed in response to a recommendation from the Grenfell Tower Phase 1 inquiry report, it is likely to become a requirement that you will need to be third-party certified to work on emergency evacuation systems going forward,\" said Keith Strugnell, SSAIB Fire Scheme Manager. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                    \"However, despite it being a brand new scheme, existing SSAIB-registered SP203-1 firms will find it comparable to their own scheme \u2013 as it utilises a similar format, albeit that the scheme document has been changed to make it more relevant to emergency evacuation systems. Therefore, in theory, you will satisfy the requirements for SP207 by default if you already have SP203-1.\" <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                    BAFE announced the scheme in the final quarter of 2020 and Keith went on to reveal that the leading UKAS-accredited certification body for the fire and security industries acted promptly to ensure that the organisation could add SP207 to its existing catalogue of BAFE fire schemes.
                                    
                                    Keith continued: \u201cWith regards to SSAIB, we completed training with BS 8629:2019 for our auditors and scheduled several pilot audits for those initial companies to achieve certification for this latest scheme that we provide certification for to the fire industry. We then collated all of the necessary criteria that was needed for our information packs and then we were ready to go.\"
                                    
                                    BAFE\u2019s director of schemes, Chris Auger, added: \u201cThe demand shown following the MHCLG consultation is unprecedented and represents a far greater awareness of systems and competency of their installers required following the tragedy of the Grenfell Tower Fire.
                                    
                                    \u201cWith the work BAFE have performed in conjunction with the industry and Fire and Rescue Service, we are pleased to offer a route to achieving this important third-party certification. Quality evidence of competency is going to have far greater scrutiny for everyone working in high-rise blocks in the very near future which can only be a good thing. This scheme will fill this crucial gap in providing confidence to specifiers knowing they are fulfilling their due diligence and continuing the \u2018golden thread\u2019 of accountability for the life safety of residents within the building.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                    \u201cThe expanding portfolio of BAFE schemes represents the necessity of quality evidence of competency required for niche, but extremely important, areas of the industry. Third-party certification is going to be a key focus of attention for the built environment moving forward and BAFE need to position itself to offer schemes that are both needed and, reflect the current concerns of occupants, regulators, service providers and building owners\/managers.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                    The Mausoleum of Qin Shihuangdi in the city of Xi\u2019an has been outfitted with a comprehensive intrusion alarm system from Bosch Building Technologies. The Unesco World Heritage Site is home to a 2,000-year-old army of clay statues, the world-famous Terracotta Warriors, guarding the tomb of China\u2019s first emperor. Several hundred TriTech motion detectors are deployed to protect the 16,300-square-foot museum against theft and damage. According to the manufacturer, these detectors prevent costly and time-consuming false alarms under challenging environmental conditions, while providing detection reliability of real alarms. Because of the intrusion detection system, which detects and reports any unauthorised intrusion into the security areas to security personnel in less than two seconds, the museum can dispense entirely with physical protective barriers such as glass walls.<\/p>\n

                                    \u201cThe cooperation with Bosch is an excellent showcase of modern high-tech protection of historic buildings,\u201d said Ren Xuxin, Project Manager of Xi\u2019an Terracotta Warriors and Horses Pit Security Upgrade Project. \u201cBosch intrusion alarm systems help to upgrade the security level of these unique historic sites.\u201d<\/p>\n

                                    As wall detectors, the TriTech motion detectors protect the pits where the terracotta warriors are located. Because these pits collect large amounts of dust that could cause false alarms, the intelligent sensor data fusion algorithm in each of the detectors checks potential alarms with PIR sensor and microwave Doppler radar for a consistent result. The area to be protected is also secured from above by ceiling-mounted TriTech motion detectors located 4.8m above the museum floor.<\/p>\n

                                    In the event of an actual security breach, the Bosch G-Series system controller sends an alert, including the location of the triggered detector, to the security team in the control room, which uses live images from a video system to verify the alarm. In most cases, tourists trigger an alarm when they cross a threshold to retrieve their cameras or smartphones that have accidentally fallen into the pit. In doing so, there is a risk of damage to the priceless terracotta warriors.<\/p>\n

                                    The TriTech motion detectors provide round-the-clock protection for the museum, which is visited by thousands of people every day. In accordance with the museum operator\u2019s list of requirements, the intrusion detection system protects not only the museum, including the perimeter, as well as the visitor areas of the mausoleum, but additionally the cultural treasures currently stored in the unmanned warehouse.<\/p>\nwww.boschbuildingtechnologies.com<\/a>","post_title":"Bosch intrusion alarm solution protects Chinese terracotta warriors","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"bosch-intrusion-alarm-solution-protects-chinese-terracotta-warriors","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-03-09 11:17:38","post_modified_gmt":"2021-03-09 11:17:38","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=5228","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":5179,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-03-05 09:32:12","post_date_gmt":"2021-03-05 09:32:12","post_content":"Ditek has promoted Wendy Gattis to Chief Executive Officer.

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":4851,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-02-08 16:44:28","post_date_gmt":"2021-02-08 16:44:28","post_content":"Motorola Solutions has added to its video security and analytics portfolio with the Artificial Intelligence Network Video Recorder (AI NVR).

The accelerating adoption of hosted solutions is buoyed by its low cost set up, flexible scalability and demand for real-time and remote access to security data.\n\n\u201cThe results highlight a hosted physical security market that will see strong growth in 2021 as cloud applications are proven to deliver business continuity in challenging times,\u201d said Rodrigue Zbinden, CEO of Morphean SA. \u201cAt the height of the lockdown, many business premises were unoccupied and potentially vulnerable, but remote monitoring and maintenance made possible by hosted security were a welcome advantage. We also saw a spike in demand for frictionless access control enabling a totally hands-free experience and negating the need for physical contact. Business leaders will now be considering the learnings from the past year and looking to apply them to boost productivity, streamline costs and make organisations more agile.\u201d\n\nFor security professionals already working with cloud services, the growth in connected digital devices through the IoT is resulting in an increased appetite for physical security, such as network cameras, to enhance existing IT systems and assist business intelligence gathering. The report shows that 95% agree that if an existing security system could deliver insights beyond security to assist decision making (i.e. occupancy or test and trace analytics), it would influence adoption.\n\nMore flexibility in working locations is the benefit respondents are most likely to identify from moving business functions to the cloud (50%), followed by easier collaboration (44%); more cost-effective (44%); safer\/better security (38%). It was found that 82% anticipate the levels\/frequency of remote workers and flexible working in their organisations to be higher post-pandemic and in the longer term than they were pre-pandemic.\n\nSecurity will need to be enhanced to facilitate greater flexibility in worker patterns. An access control solution which is linked to HR records, for example, can check the swipe of an access card against staff records. A staff member who is flagged as being on leave, absent or no longer employed will trigger an automated alert to the relevant personnel. Surveillance cameras also provide secondary authentication through visual clarification of an individual\u2019s identity.\n\n\u201cFor the physical security reseller, the study will demonstrate that hosted security solutions must play a major part in expanding their offering to a wiser customer base,\u201d said Zbinden. \u201cCloud-enabled physical security solutions represent an investment into improving security and operations, a chance to forge new business relationships, and an opportunity to embrace future proof technologies in preparation for whatever challenges the future might hold.\u201d\n\nRead the full report here<\/a>.\n\nwww.morphean.com<\/a>\n\n ","post_title":"Hosted video and access control sees sharp rise during the pandemic","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"hosted-video-and-access-control-sees-sharp-rise-during-the-pandemic","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-02 11:52:46","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-02 11:52:46","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4788","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4735,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-29 14:31:33","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-29 14:31:33","post_content":"Paxton is using online face-to-face training to offer installers the opportunity to understand and implement the latest updates to its flagship access control system Net2, and newest combined access control and video management system, Paxton10. The manufacturer had resumed in-person training in a Covid-safe environment during December 2020, but the third UK-wide lockdown has since prevented this.\n\n\u201cOur practical training sessions are always popular and provide a supportive environment for installers to get hands-on with the product,\u201d said Paxton\u2019s Global Training Manager Steve Woodbridge. \u201cWe made arrangements to ensure that resuming in-person sessions could take place safely. Now they cannot, and we are back in a national lockdown, so we have made sure there is still the same level of opportunity for installers to continue learning and be guided by Paxton experts.\u201d\n\nThe manufacturer is running live virtual sessions throughout the lockdown period, as well as bespoke virtual training for companies that require online group learning, or a tailored course to help with specific projects they are working on.\n\n\u201cI have worked in training myself in the past and attended many training sessions, both remotely and face-to-face,\u201d said Chris Green, a Security Consultant at TVG Security who took part in one of the virtual classes. \u201cThis was honestly the best I have ever attended. Paxton\u2019s ability to keep an audience engaged for over two hours is unparalleled. I am inspired to attend more sessions.\u201d\n\nThe courses have been designed to show installers how to install and configure Paxton hardware and reportedly offer a different experience from the manufacturer\u2019s webinars that ran throughout 2020. Installers are encouraged to interact with the trainers and other participants. Paxton trainers use a combination of presentation and demonstration, as well as provide the opportunity to get hands-on with Paxton systems using guided software instruction.\n\nAlongside the new face-to-face virtual training programme, Paxton is providing installers with 30 days of free access to the Paxton Learning Portal.\n\nRegister for Net2 or Paxton10 virtual courses here<\/a>.\n\nwww.paxton-access.com<\/a>","post_title":"Paxton offers installers online face-to-face training","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"paxton-offers-installers-online-face-to-face-training","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=4735","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4727,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-29 10:48:58","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-29 10:48:58","post_content":"Siemens Smart Infrastructure has unveiled a compact version of its Cerberus Pace Modular public address voice alarm (PA\/VA) solution. The manufacturer states that Cerberus Pace Modular and Compact offer a comprehensive PA\/VA solution, which can be integrated with fire protection and danger management systems. \n\n\u201cThanks to the Cerberus Pace systems, the user can cover all public and voice alarm needs with a single solution\u201d said Mario Kahlert, Head of Fire Safety at Siemens Smart Infrastructure. \u201cBy sharing the same state of the art technology as the modular system, but addressing small and simple applications, the Cerberus Pace Compact enables extensive customisation and is a cost-efficient solution for customers.\u201d \n\nThe range of potential applications covers any situation which require PA\/VA, including offices, hotels, airports, commercial facilities and educational buildings. As with the Modular system, Cerberus Pace Compact incorporates multiple redundancy levels and is also suitable for step-by-step modernisation of outdated systems. According to the manufacturer, the system\u2019s professional sound quality and low latency enable clear communication, both in emergency situations and for day-to-day announcements or music.\n\nCerberus Pace Compact is available in two versions: Compact 400 and Compact 1000. Wall mounted, despite its comparatively small size, Cerberus Pace Compact offers power of up to 2,000W and an additional backup amplifier and pilot tone amplifier. Cerberus Pace systems are fully compliant with the EN 54-16 standard and local codes of practice in European countries. The systems can cover all redundancy, ensuring there is adequate back-up. To support the safety-first approach, both high performing and reliable systems stand for no single point of failure, thanks to distributed intelligence, where each network participant has a CPU that allows the device to be made independent.\n\nCerberus Pace comes with dedicated configuration software and real-time engineering. The system can be configured live, while it is running, reportedly without causing any interruption to day-to-day activities. No shut down is necessary for maintenance or to change the configuration, with remote access ensuring business continuity, whatever the environment. \n\nCerberus Pace Compact can be combined with the Modular system using the same network and configuration tools to offer a wider choice of ancillary products (for example, amplifiers or audio matrix), while also enabling cost optimisation. In addition, both systems can be used for stepwise modernisations of older voice alarm systems (often using existing cabling), making it possible to futureproof the system to meet changing demands. Different connection options (loop, stub line, double stub lines, and even compatibility with star structures or T-taps) offer greater flexibility during the installation process.\n\nwww.siemens.com\/cerberus-pace<\/a>\n\n ","post_title":"Siemens launches compact PA\/VA solution","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"siemens-launches-compact-pa-va-solution","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-01-29 10:49:01","post_modified_gmt":"2021-01-29 10:49:01","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4727","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4633,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-21 18:40:49","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-21 18:40:49","post_content":"Montana State University-Northern is using Napco Security Technologies products in a school security project.

The benefits and convenience of contactless access control have been well documented prior to, and even more so during the pandemic. Being able to provide access credentials without having touch points not only offer users convenience, but also ensures they are reducing the risk of infection to themselves and others.\u201d\n\nPaxton Key works with Paxton10 readers, PaxLock Pro and Entry panels. 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":4609,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-19 15:02:03","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-19 15:02:03","post_content":"Simon Wheeler and Neil Bain from Controlled.co.uk discuss how systems integration contracts come to them and how they approach their relationships with clients.","post_title":"SOS Opinion | How Controlled.co.uk secure contracts in systems integration","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"sos-opinion-how-controlled-co-uk-secure-contracts-in-systems-integration","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-01-19 15:02:08","post_modified_gmt":"2021-01-19 15:02:08","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4609","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4597,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-18 12:03:55","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-18 12:03:55","post_content":"Bosch states that its new Autodome IP starlight 5100i offers enhanced image quality and built-in Artificial Intelligence (AI) to help operators react before a potential situation occurs. Designed for outdoor surveillance applications when light levels vary, the Autodome IP starlight 5100i has a new \u00bd inch camera sensor offering 4MP resolution and 20x optical zoom to detect people or objects at a maximum distance up to 1,676m.\n\nThe camera is equipped with advanced motion optimised High Dynamic Range (HDR-X) at 133dB and starlight technology, which the manufacturer states allows the camera to provide \u201cexceptional image quality during daytime and at lower light levels such as dusk and dawn without blurring of moving objects\u201d. The camera is weatherproof with vandal-resistant housing expanding its use to demanding city surveillance situations.\n\nBuilt-in AI, like video analytics, uses metadata to add sense and structure to video footage. Bosch states that this enables cameras to \u201cunderstand what they are seeing and gives customers a smart choice to know what is next\u201d.\n\nThe Autodome IP starlight 5100i camera comes with built-in Essential Video Analytics to deliver actionable insights that help operators react before a possible threat or unwanted situation occurs. This built-in AI captures relevant data for uses such as enforcing traffic regulations, detecting vehicles driving in the wrong direction, and delivering occupancy data, such as the number of vehicles entering and leaving a parking garage for smarter, more efficient parking. When idle, the camera can provide relevant, usable statistics like the number of people entering a specific area, analyse behavior, or assist in enforcing health and safety regulations such as raising awareness of a blocked emergency exit.\n\nHigher resolutions and frame rates, improved dynamic range, and enhanced light sensitivity are essential to capturing images that can distinguish individuals or objects for identification or proof. A unique feature of the Autodome IP starlight 5100i is the new \u00bd inch camera sensor offering 4MP resolution, 20x optical zoom, and durable housing to meet demanding applications, especially outdoors.\n\nThe AUTODOME\u2019s built-in starlight technology and HDR-X technology are described as an \u201cideal combination\u201d for this mid-range moving camera. Starlight technology enables the camera to capture colour detail when light levels drop to nearly zero and maximise low light performance. HDR-X eliminates shadows and balances uneven exposure with a dynamic range of 133dB. Operators can locate a person or object in motion at a distance up to 1,676m and can manually track individuals of interest as they move, regardless of speed, far beyond a fixed camera\u2019s field of view.\n\nAll Bosch video security cameras offer built-in AI as standard and connect to the Bosch cloud for remote maintenance and device management. Systems integrators can work with customers remotely to perform service when they cannot meet face to face.\n\nWith the free Bosch Project Assistant software, systems integrators are supported in the planning, pre-configuration, commissioning and reporting for video security projects without the need to be physically near the cameras. The Bosch Remote Portal offers secure device management, set up and health monitoring via the Bosch cloud from anywhere.\n\nBecause video data is often highly critical and sensitive, Bosch has a systematic approach to maximising data security centered on a built-in Trusted Platform Module to keep video data secure. With remote configuration, management and planning, systems integrators can reduce installation and set-up time and minimise the number of commutes, resulting in sustainable business practices that are economically viable, socially responsible and environmentally friendly.\n\nwww.boschsecurity.com<\/a>","post_title":"Bosch offers built-in AI with Autodome IP starlight 5100i video camera","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"bosch-offers-built-in-ai-with-autodome-ip-starlight-5100i-video-camera","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-01-18 12:04:00","post_modified_gmt":"2021-01-18 12:04:00","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4597","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.

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 sensors are using a combination of the manufacturer\u2019s PIR sensors to protect property, people and other important assets including horses from the dangers of vandalism and theft.\n\n\u201cWe have worked with Optex for a number of years and have found their range of PIR sensors to be extremely accurate and reliable, which is critical when specifying external detection,\u201d said Alan Harper, Director at Harper Security Systems. \u201cThe flexibility and versatility of the sensors is such that they are ideal for multiple environments. For example, we have recently installed them at a private stables in Lincolnshire to protect horses and valuable equestrian equipment, residences in rural villages in both Bedfordshire and Hertfordshire to protect property and personal items, as well as in commercial business environments.\u201d\n\n\u201cReliable external protection is becoming increasingly important not only to secure equipment and assets, but also livestock and other animals like horses,\u201d added Ben Linklater, Sales Director at Optex Europe. \u201cThe earlier the detection the better chance there is to prevent intruders. External intrusion detection is essential in rural environments as most assets, many of which are expensive to replace (and some are irreplaceable), are stored outside.

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.

OSDP is an access control communications standard developed by SIA to improve interoperability among access control and security products.\n\nSIA OSDP version 2.2 features the messages and formatting that were included in the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) 60839-11-5 standard released earlier in 2020 and addresses some of the minor errata within that document. SIA OSDP version 2.2 replaces version 2.1.7 of the specification, released in 2015. The updates include an enhanced method for file transfer, which allows for the transfer of large data sets for firmware updates or graphics from an access control unit to a reader, clearer instructions for the implementation of SecureChannel to facilitate encrypted communications and updated messages for handling smartcard applications within the protocol.\n\nSIA OSDP version 2.2 is described as a bridge that allows for easier updates of the OSDP specification and the subsequent publishing of these enhancements as an international standard. SIA OSDP allows devices, such as card readers, control panels or other security management systems to work together, providing the security industry with a solution that moves far beyond the widely-used Wiegand standard in terms of security and functionality. A two-way channel and encryption pave the way for advanced security applications such as the handling of smart cards, biometrics and government applications that require Public Key Infrastructure or Federal Identity, Credential and Access Management requirements.\n\n\u201cSIA OSDP version 2.2 is a culmination of all of the work done over the past five years to prepare the protocol for international standardisation and fixes the majority of common implementation challenges faced by implementers of version 2.1.7,\u201d said Steve Rogers, co-chair of the SIA OSDP Working Group and president at IQ Devices.\n\nThe SIA OSDP standard is recommended for access control installations that require advanced security or will be used in government and other higher-security settings. In April 2020, SIA introduced SIA OSDP Verified, a comprehensive testing programme that validates a device\u2019s conformance to the SIA OSDP standard and related performance protocols. Maintained and developed by the SIA OSDP Working Group since 2011, the SIA OSDP standard was approved by the IEC technical committee on alarm and electronic security systems as an international standard in June 2020.\n\nSIA OSDP v2.2 aims to duplicate the contents and terminology that were required in the IEC standardisation process, harmonising the SIA published protocol series and the IEC standard. Future versions of OSDP will continue to follow the IEC formatting conventions, enabling the always-evolving work of the SIA SODP Working Group to be more easily adopted through the IEC standards process.\n\nwww.securityindustry.org<\/a>","post_title":"Version 2.2 of SIA OSDP standard unveiled","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"version-2-2-of-sia-osdp-standard-unveiled","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2020-12-17 12:30:13","post_modified_gmt":"2020-12-17 12:30:13","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4295","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4356,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2020-12-23 09:16:00","post_date_gmt":"2020-12-23 09:16:00","post_content":"In our series of 2021 predictions, Robin Hughes of Secure Logiq talks about video analytics.","post_title":"SOS 2021 Predictions | 'Video Analytics' with Secure Logiq","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"sos-2021-predictions-video-analytics-with-secure-logiq","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-01-23 10:49:50","post_modified_gmt":"2023-01-23 10:49:50","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4356","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4286,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2020-12-16 14:33:59","post_date_gmt":"2020-12-16 14:33:59","post_content":"Simon Wheeler and Neil Bain from Controlled.co.uk, discuss how the security industry may change in a post-pandemic world.","post_title":"SOS Opinion | Will the security industry return to normal after the pandemic?

The app, which is available for iOS or Android devices, has been designed to consolidate useful widgets to make installation easier and provide sales and marketing support.\n\nThe Hik-ePartner app is a management platform where installers can get access to all Hikvision product information, promotions and marketing materials, as well as join a loyalty programme. According to the manufacturer, it offers straightforward product searches which allow installers to navigate using model names and numbers, product functions, and accessory options. Installers can also save their preferred products to a favourites list for later.\n\nThe app also offers a how to section where documents and videos can assist integrators with their daily work. An additional parameter and specifications calculating tool enables installers to recommend the most suitable products for their customers. Installers can also use the app to find all the go-to-market handouts such as infographics, One-Swipes (intuitive sales guides), and solution packages featuring small and medium sized businesses. Finally, push notifications provide sales promotions from Hikvision to help installers save money on Hikvision\u2019s latest products.\n\nHik-ePartner is also integrated with the Hik-ProConnect app. Installers using Hik-ProConnect can login to the Hik-ePartner platform with the same account, creating a smoother workflow for installers.\n\nwww.hikvision.com <\/a>","post_title":"Hikvision unveils Hik-ePartner App for installers","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"hikvision-unveils-hik-epartner-app-for-installers","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2020-11-27 15:52:25","post_modified_gmt":"2020-11-27 15:52:25","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4073","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4067,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2020-11-27 14:48:12","post_date_gmt":"2020-11-27 14:48:12","post_content":"Assa Abloy Entrance Systems supplied an array of doors throughout the recently completed Robins & Day Peugeot West London dealership at Chiswick, London.

The complete end-to-end solution offers protection at the perimeter, entrance and exit points, as well as close monitoring of the gaming hall and individual machines, guarding against break-ins and criminal damage as well as tampering and fraud.\n\nCasinos must be adequately protected, not just to secure the premises and protect against fraud or theft, but also to fulfil legal requirements set by the Gambling Commission and local authorities. Napoleons Casinos & Restaurants owners, The A&S Leisure Group Ltd, sought to employ a system that would incorporate the latest advancements in security, without the need to use multiple providers. Axis, together with its partner Brock Business Support, specified and deployed a solution which was customised to fully support the casino\u2019s requirements.\n\n\u201cWhen looking at the requirements of the new site, integration between the surveillance and access control systems was important, together with high quality images from the cameras, and immediate video play back with audio,\u201d explained Guy Hewson, Head of Security at The A&S Leisure Group Ltd. \u201cWe turned to Brock Business Support who, through its close working partnership with Axis Communications, was able to specify a system that could be tailor made for our requirements.\u201d\n\nThe project saw 100 cameras installed at the site, requiring six AXIS T8524 PoE+ network switches and recording on three servers, all driven by the AXIS Camera Station software running over four viewing stations. The staff entrance utilises an AXIS A8004-VE network video door station, and all staff are admitted after scanning using a biometric reader. Inside, AXIS M3065-V network mini dome cameras cover back of house areas, providing a wide-angle view.\n\nGaming tables, money exchange areas, bars and slot machines are monitored by AXIS P3375-V network cameras with built in two-way audio functionality. At the roulette wheels AXIS F1015 sensor units sit inside the table displays, providing a discrete full view with recording capabilities and images that are clear and sharp. Externally, the perimeter is covered by AXIS P3245-LVE fixed dome network cameras with AXIS Lightfinder technology, ideal for variable lighting and weather conditions.\n\n\u201cMultiple factors were taken into consideration during the installation of the many cameras and sensors across the Napoleons Casinos site, which meant meticulous planning, right down to considerations around connectivity,\u201d said Dave Brock, Managing Director, Brock Business Support. \u201cFor example, the use of AXIS Zipstream technology meant that Cat-5E cabling could be used, meaning no need to upgrade. This represented an immediate cost saving for the casino\u2019s owners.\u201d\n\nWith the ability to capture and export live video data in real-time for the authorities in the event of an incident, Axis\u2019 solution provides peace of mind for all at the site. Satisfied that the new system has met all of its objectives, The A&S Leisure Group Ltd now plans to review the technologies at its other four sites, implementing variations on the design employed so successfully at the Manchester premises.\n\nwww.axis.com<\/a>","post_title":"Axis creates end-to-end security and surveillance solution for Manchester casino","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"axis-creates-end-to-end-security-and-surveillance-solution-for-manchester-casino","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2020-11-18 14:45:57","post_modified_gmt":"2020-11-18 14:45:57","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4012","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":3975,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2020-11-13 16:27:22","post_date_gmt":"2020-11-13 16:27:22","post_content":"\n

                                    The 22nd ONVIF Developers\u2019 Plugfest took place this year as a virtual event in October. Nearly 50 developers and engineers from 26 ONVIF member companies gathered virtually over two weeks in and completed nearly 200 hours of testing. Developers could test products independently for profile conformance, as well as assess interoperability between their devices and those from other manufacturers.
                                    
                                    \u201cLike so many other organisations, ONVIF has had to adapt to new ways of collaborating and exchanging ideas,\u201d said Per Bj\u00f6rkdahl, chair of the ONVIF Steering Committee. \u201cInteroperability doesn\u2019t happen in a vacuum and, while nothing will replace valuable face-to-face interaction with our members, we are grateful for the continued participation of member companies in supporting ONVIF profile conformance.\u201d
                                    
                                    Profiles tested at this event include Profile A for access control configuration, Profile C for door control and event management, Profile S for basic video streaming, Profile T for advanced video streaming, Profile G for edge storage and retrieval, Profile Q for quick installation and the Profile M Release Candidate for metadata and analytics for smart applications.
                                    
                                    ONVIF Developers\u2019 Plugfests are typically held twice a year around the world, allowing the global members to gather and test their implementations. Due to the uncertain nature of the COVID-19 pandemic, details of the 23rd virtual ONVIF Developers\u2019 Plugfest will be announced at a later date.

                                    Videosoft\u2019s technology will help capture footage from the Mayflower's six onboard cameras at sea. Using satellite connectivity and compression technologies, footage will be transmitted back to AI developers and research scientists providing real-time feedback and visuals during the mission. The international grassroots project is led by marine research organisation ProMare alongside IBM, which is acting as both lead technology partner and lead scientific partner, with other key design and construction partners including MSUBs, Aluship and MarineAI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                    With an AI Captain at the helm, MAS is able to operate for long distances and durations at sea collecting critical data about the ocean.  Powered by IBM\u2019s computer vision, automation and machine learning technologies, the AI Captain maintains constant situational awareness and makes decisions about what to do next in line with collision regulations.            <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                    Plymouth Rock Technologies has announced a binding LOI to acquire Tetra Drones, a developer of Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS). The transaction is set to take form of a corporate combination whereby PRT will acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of Tetra Drones. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                    \u201cAfter working closely with the PRT team on recent projects, it became clear that their vision, connections, and focus was something that my team and I wanted to evolve into\u201d, stated Ben Pickard, Director and Lead Designer of Tetra Drones Ltd. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                    \u201cBeing part of a focused public company also opens many doors that were once closed to Tetra when dealing with certain governments and agencies, as well as an offering a presence and expansion into the US market.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                    The terms of the LOI shall be a binding agreement of both parties and the form and substance of a definitive agreement (the 'Definitive Agreement') is to be negotiated on or before 30th April 2021. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                    \u201cLike PRT, Tetra is highly focused on supporting its customers around the world with the most reliable and purposeful products and services for their missions\u201d, said Carl Cagliarini, Chief Strategy Officer of PRT. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                    \u201cAs we welcome the Tetra team to PRT, we commit to moving forward into a sales phase within the USA and EU. The addition of the team members and facility ties in perfectly with our long-term strategy, which adds a significant expansion to PRT\u2019s reach and technical capability\u201d, concluded Cagliarini.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                    Plymouth Rock has agreed to acquire the Tetra Shares for the sum of \u00a3350,000 payable in instalments and satisfied in cash.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                    Payment of the Purchase Price will be on the following schedule:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                       The Security Systems and Alarms Inspection Board (SSAIB) have achieved accreditation for BAFE's SP207 scheme for emergency evacuation systems - used by Fire and Rescue services to prioritise evacuation from residential high rise buildings and ensure people at risk in endangered areas can be safely evacuated. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                       The new development from BAFE covers the design, installation, commissioning and maintenance of emergency evacuations systems that will help to provide quality evidence of competency to deliver these services, while also supporting British Standard 8629 Evacuation Alert Systems for use by fire and rescue services in buildings containing flats. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                       \"Developed in response to a recommendation from the Grenfell Tower Phase 1 inquiry report, it is likely to become a requirement that you will need to be third-party certified to work on emergency evacuation systems going forward,\" said Keith Strugnell, SSAIB Fire Scheme Manager. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                       \"However, despite it being a brand new scheme, existing SSAIB-registered SP203-1 firms will find it comparable to their own scheme \u2013 as it utilises a similar format, albeit that the scheme document has been changed to make it more relevant to emergency evacuation systems. Therefore, in theory, you will satisfy the requirements for SP207 by default if you already have SP203-1.\" <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                       BAFE announced the scheme in the final quarter of 2020 and Keith went on to reveal that the leading UKAS-accredited certification body for the fire and security industries acted promptly to ensure that the organisation could add SP207 to its existing catalogue of BAFE fire schemes.
                                       
                                       Keith continued: \u201cWith regards to SSAIB, we completed training with BS 8629:2019 for our auditors and scheduled several pilot audits for those initial companies to achieve certification for this latest scheme that we provide certification for to the fire industry. We then collated all of the necessary criteria that was needed for our information packs and then we were ready to go.\"
                                       
                                       BAFE\u2019s director of schemes, Chris Auger, added: \u201cThe demand shown following the MHCLG consultation is unprecedented and represents a far greater awareness of systems and competency of their installers required following the tragedy of the Grenfell Tower Fire.
                                       
                                       \u201cWith the work BAFE have performed in conjunction with the industry and Fire and Rescue Service, we are pleased to offer a route to achieving this important third-party certification. Quality evidence of competency is going to have far greater scrutiny for everyone working in high-rise blocks in the very near future which can only be a good thing. This scheme will fill this crucial gap in providing confidence to specifiers knowing they are fulfilling their due diligence and continuing the \u2018golden thread\u2019 of accountability for the life safety of residents within the building.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                       \u201cThe expanding portfolio of BAFE schemes represents the necessity of quality evidence of competency required for niche, but extremely important, areas of the industry. Third-party certification is going to be a key focus of attention for the built environment moving forward and BAFE need to position itself to offer schemes that are both needed and, reflect the current concerns of occupants, regulators, service providers and building owners\/managers.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                       The Mausoleum of Qin Shihuangdi in the city of Xi\u2019an has been outfitted with a comprehensive intrusion alarm system from Bosch Building Technologies. The Unesco World Heritage Site is home to a 2,000-year-old army of clay statues, the world-famous Terracotta Warriors, guarding the tomb of China\u2019s first emperor. Several hundred TriTech motion detectors are deployed to protect the 16,300-square-foot museum against theft and damage. According to the manufacturer, these detectors prevent costly and time-consuming false alarms under challenging environmental conditions, while providing detection reliability of real alarms. Because of the intrusion detection system, which detects and reports any unauthorised intrusion into the security areas to security personnel in less than two seconds, the museum can dispense entirely with physical protective barriers such as glass walls.<\/p>\n

                                       \u201cThe cooperation with Bosch is an excellent showcase of modern high-tech protection of historic buildings,\u201d said Ren Xuxin, Project Manager of Xi\u2019an Terracotta Warriors and Horses Pit Security Upgrade Project. \u201cBosch intrusion alarm systems help to upgrade the security level of these unique historic sites.\u201d<\/p>\n

                                       As wall detectors, the TriTech motion detectors protect the pits where the terracotta warriors are located. Because these pits collect large amounts of dust that could cause false alarms, the intelligent sensor data fusion algorithm in each of the detectors checks potential alarms with PIR sensor and microwave Doppler radar for a consistent result. The area to be protected is also secured from above by ceiling-mounted TriTech motion detectors located 4.8m above the museum floor.<\/p>\n

                                       In the event of an actual security breach, the Bosch G-Series system controller sends an alert, including the location of the triggered detector, to the security team in the control room, which uses live images from a video system to verify the alarm. In most cases, tourists trigger an alarm when they cross a threshold to retrieve their cameras or smartphones that have accidentally fallen into the pit. In doing so, there is a risk of damage to the priceless terracotta warriors.<\/p>\n

                                       The TriTech motion detectors provide round-the-clock protection for the museum, which is visited by thousands of people every day. In accordance with the museum operator\u2019s list of requirements, the intrusion detection system protects not only the museum, including the perimeter, as well as the visitor areas of the mausoleum, but additionally the cultural treasures currently stored in the unmanned warehouse.<\/p>\nwww.boschbuildingtechnologies.com<\/a>","post_title":"Bosch intrusion alarm solution protects Chinese terracotta warriors","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"bosch-intrusion-alarm-solution-protects-chinese-terracotta-warriors","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-03-09 11:17:38","post_modified_gmt":"2021-03-09 11:17:38","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=5228","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":5179,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-03-05 09:32:12","post_date_gmt":"2021-03-05 09:32:12","post_content":"Ditek has promoted Wendy Gattis to Chief Executive Officer.

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":4851,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-02-08 16:44:28","post_date_gmt":"2021-02-08 16:44:28","post_content":"Motorola Solutions has added to its video security and analytics portfolio with the Artificial Intelligence Network Video Recorder (AI NVR).

CertAlarm is now able to offer these certifications.\n\nBack in 2018, The Technical Committee CEN\/TC 72 released two common standards \u2013 EN 54-5: 2017 + A1:2018, \u201cHeat detectors \u2013 Point heat detectors\u201d, and 54-7: 2018, \u201cSmoke detectors \u2013 Point smoke detectors that operate using scattered light, transmitted light or ionisation\u201d. Following this, the European Commission cited them in the OJEU in 2019. The updated provisions include increased requirements for the EMC-resilience of detectors.\n\nBoth updated standards are mandatory for products that are sold throughout the EU from the end of the transition period on August 31, 2022. That means that all manufacturers should now start with the update of their corresponding external certificates and internal declarations by applying the latest version of EN 54-5 and EN 54-7 to their products. In due course, all manufacturers of heat and smoke detectors will be required to apply to authorised Notified Bodies for a Certificate of Constancy of Performance to the new revisions, enabling them to update their DoPs (Declaration of Performance).\n\nThe majority of CertAlarm partners have been accredited by their national Accreditation Bodies and notified by the EU for testing and certification based on the two harmonised norms and can now fully support manufacturers in obtaining the respective certificates.\n\n\u201cWe want to provide a comprehensive, competitive and time-saving support to manufacturers by offering all relevant testing and certification services as a one-stop solution which is valid throughout Europe,\u201d said Anja Kinsky, General Manager of CertAlarm. \u201cWe\u2019re therefore pleased to announce that we also cover these new certification requirements.\u201d\n\nwww.certalarm.org<\/a>","post_title":"CertAlarm partners accredited new EN 54-5 and 54-7 standards","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"certalarm-partners-accredited-new-en-54-5-and-54-7-standards","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-03 16:06:31","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-03 16:06:31","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4816","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4788,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-02-02 11:52:44","post_date_gmt":"2021-02-02 11:52:44","post_content":"There has been a sharp increase in the necessity for businesses to adopt hosted video surveillance (VSaaS) and access control (ACaaS) solutions according to new research into the impact of Covid-19 on physical security purchasing decisions. While 70% of 1,000 senior decision makers in IT, security, FM and HR roles agree this to be the case, 78% also anticipate their organisations\u2019 use of cloud technologies to increase in the future as a result of Covid-19.\n\nMorphean commissioned the independent survey which revealed that over three-quarters (76%) of senior managers in UK, Germany and Sweden have increased their use of video conferencing (e.g. Microsoft Teams); 65% have increased their use of office applications (e.g. Microsoft 365); and 70% of those in the security sector are now strongly inclined towards cloud adoption.\n\n51% say their company is currently using a cloud-based service for video surveillance (VSaaS) and\/or access control (ACaaS). This is an increase of 3% over 2019 (48%) and broadly reflects projected growth in the physical security market from US$93.5 billion in 2020 to US$120.3 billion by 2025 at a CAGR of 5.2%. The accelerating adoption of hosted solutions is buoyed by its low cost set up, flexible scalability and demand for real-time and remote access to security data.\n\n\u201cThe results highlight a hosted physical security market that will see strong growth in 2021 as cloud applications are proven to deliver business continuity in challenging times,\u201d said Rodrigue Zbinden, CEO of Morphean SA. \u201cAt the height of the lockdown, many business premises were unoccupied and potentially vulnerable, but remote monitoring and maintenance made possible by hosted security were a welcome advantage. We also saw a spike in demand for frictionless access control enabling a totally hands-free experience and negating the need for physical contact. Business leaders will now be considering the learnings from the past year and looking to apply them to boost productivity, streamline costs and make organisations more agile.\u201d\n\nFor security professionals already working with cloud services, the growth in connected digital devices through the IoT is resulting in an increased appetite for physical security, such as network cameras, to enhance existing IT systems and assist business intelligence gathering. The report shows that 95% agree that if an existing security system could deliver insights beyond security to assist decision making (i.e. occupancy or test and trace analytics), it would influence adoption.\n\nMore flexibility in working locations is the benefit respondents are most likely to identify from moving business functions to the cloud (50%), followed by easier collaboration (44%); more cost-effective (44%); safer\/better security (38%). It was found that 82% anticipate the levels\/frequency of remote workers and flexible working in their organisations to be higher post-pandemic and in the longer term than they were pre-pandemic.\n\nSecurity will need to be enhanced to facilitate greater flexibility in worker patterns. An access control solution which is linked to HR records, for example, can check the swipe of an access card against staff records. A staff member who is flagged as being on leave, absent or no longer employed will trigger an automated alert to the relevant personnel. Surveillance cameras also provide secondary authentication through visual clarification of an individual\u2019s identity.\n\n\u201cFor the physical security reseller, the study will demonstrate that hosted security solutions must play a major part in expanding their offering to a wiser customer base,\u201d said Zbinden. \u201cCloud-enabled physical security solutions represent an investment into improving security and operations, a chance to forge new business relationships, and an opportunity to embrace future proof technologies in preparation for whatever challenges the future might hold.\u201d\n\nRead the full report here<\/a>.\n\nwww.morphean.com<\/a>\n\n ","post_title":"Hosted video and access control sees sharp rise during the pandemic","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"hosted-video-and-access-control-sees-sharp-rise-during-the-pandemic","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-02 11:52:46","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-02 11:52:46","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4788","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4735,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-29 14:31:33","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-29 14:31:33","post_content":"Paxton is using online face-to-face training to offer installers the opportunity to understand and implement the latest updates to its flagship access control system Net2, and newest combined access control and video management system, Paxton10.

The manufacturer states that Cerberus Pace Modular and Compact offer a comprehensive PA\/VA solution, which can be integrated with fire protection and danger management systems. \n\n\u201cThanks to the Cerberus Pace systems, the user can cover all public and voice alarm needs with a single solution\u201d said Mario Kahlert, Head of Fire Safety at Siemens Smart Infrastructure. \u201cBy sharing the same state of the art technology as the modular system, but addressing small and simple applications, the Cerberus Pace Compact enables extensive customisation and is a cost-efficient solution for customers.\u201d \n\nThe range of potential applications covers any situation which require PA\/VA, including offices, hotels, airports, commercial facilities and educational buildings. As with the Modular system, Cerberus Pace Compact incorporates multiple redundancy levels and is also suitable for step-by-step modernisation of outdated systems. According to the manufacturer, the system\u2019s professional sound quality and low latency enable clear communication, both in emergency situations and for day-to-day announcements or music.\n\nCerberus Pace Compact is available in two versions: Compact 400 and Compact 1000. Wall mounted, despite its comparatively small size, Cerberus Pace Compact offers power of up to 2,000W and an additional backup amplifier and pilot tone amplifier. Cerberus Pace systems are fully compliant with the EN 54-16 standard and local codes of practice in European countries. The systems can cover all redundancy, ensuring there is adequate back-up. To support the safety-first approach, both high performing and reliable systems stand for no single point of failure, thanks to distributed intelligence, where each network participant has a CPU that allows the device to be made independent.\n\nCerberus Pace comes with dedicated configuration software and real-time engineering. The system can be configured live, while it is running, reportedly without causing any interruption to day-to-day activities. No shut down is necessary for maintenance or to change the configuration, with remote access ensuring business continuity, whatever the environment. \n\nCerberus Pace Compact can be combined with the Modular system using the same network and configuration tools to offer a wider choice of ancillary products (for example, amplifiers or audio matrix), while also enabling cost optimisation. In addition, both systems can be used for stepwise modernisations of older voice alarm systems (often using existing cabling), making it possible to futureproof the system to meet changing demands. Different connection options (loop, stub line, double stub lines, and even compatibility with star structures or T-taps) offer greater flexibility during the installation process.\n\nwww.siemens.com\/cerberus-pace<\/a>\n\n ","post_title":"Siemens launches compact PA\/VA solution","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"siemens-launches-compact-pa-va-solution","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-01-29 10:49:01","post_modified_gmt":"2021-01-29 10:49:01","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4727","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4633,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-21 18:40:49","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-21 18:40:49","post_content":"Montana State University-Northern is using Napco Security Technologies products in a school security project.

The benefits and convenience of contactless access control have been well documented prior to, and even more so during the pandemic. Being able to provide access credentials without having touch points not only offer users convenience, but also ensures they are reducing the risk of infection to themselves and others.\u201d\n\nPaxton Key works with Paxton10 readers, PaxLock Pro and Entry panels. 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":4609,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-19 15:02:03","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-19 15:02:03","post_content":"Simon Wheeler and Neil Bain from Controlled.co.uk discuss how systems integration contracts come to them and how they approach their relationships with clients.","post_title":"SOS Opinion | How Controlled.co.uk secure contracts in systems integration","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"sos-opinion-how-controlled-co-uk-secure-contracts-in-systems-integration","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-01-19 15:02:08","post_modified_gmt":"2021-01-19 15:02:08","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4609","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4597,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-18 12:03:55","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-18 12:03:55","post_content":"Bosch states that its new Autodome IP starlight 5100i offers enhanced image quality and built-in Artificial Intelligence (AI) to help operators react before a potential situation occurs. Designed for outdoor surveillance applications when light levels vary, the Autodome IP starlight 5100i has a new \u00bd inch camera sensor offering 4MP resolution and 20x optical zoom to detect people or objects at a maximum distance up to 1,676m.\n\nThe camera is equipped with advanced motion optimised High Dynamic Range (HDR-X) at 133dB and starlight technology, which the manufacturer states allows the camera to provide \u201cexceptional image quality during daytime and at lower light levels such as dusk and dawn without blurring of moving objects\u201d. The camera is weatherproof with vandal-resistant housing expanding its use to demanding city surveillance situations.\n\nBuilt-in AI, like video analytics, uses metadata to add sense and structure to video footage. Bosch states that this enables cameras to \u201cunderstand what they are seeing and gives customers a smart choice to know what is next\u201d.\n\nThe Autodome IP starlight 5100i camera comes with built-in Essential Video Analytics to deliver actionable insights that help operators react before a possible threat or unwanted situation occurs. This built-in AI captures relevant data for uses such as enforcing traffic regulations, detecting vehicles driving in the wrong direction, and delivering occupancy data, such as the number of vehicles entering and leaving a parking garage for smarter, more efficient parking. When idle, the camera can provide relevant, usable statistics like the number of people entering a specific area, analyse behavior, or assist in enforcing health and safety regulations such as raising awareness of a blocked emergency exit.\n\nHigher resolutions and frame rates, improved dynamic range, and enhanced light sensitivity are essential to capturing images that can distinguish individuals or objects for identification or proof. A unique feature of the Autodome IP starlight 5100i is the new \u00bd inch camera sensor offering 4MP resolution, 20x optical zoom, and durable housing to meet demanding applications, especially outdoors.\n\nThe AUTODOME\u2019s built-in starlight technology and HDR-X technology are described as an \u201cideal combination\u201d for this mid-range moving camera. Starlight technology enables the camera to capture colour detail when light levels drop to nearly zero and maximise low light performance. HDR-X eliminates shadows and balances uneven exposure with a dynamic range of 133dB. Operators can locate a person or object in motion at a distance up to 1,676m and can manually track individuals of interest as they move, regardless of speed, far beyond a fixed camera\u2019s field of view.\n\nAll Bosch video security cameras offer built-in AI as standard and connect to the Bosch cloud for remote maintenance and device management. Systems integrators can work with customers remotely to perform service when they cannot meet face to face.\n\nWith the free Bosch Project Assistant software, systems integrators are supported in the planning, pre-configuration, commissioning and reporting for video security projects without the need to be physically near the cameras. The Bosch Remote Portal offers secure device management, set up and health monitoring via the Bosch cloud from anywhere.\n\nBecause video data is often highly critical and sensitive, Bosch has a systematic approach to maximising data security centered on a built-in Trusted Platform Module to keep video data secure. With remote configuration, management and planning, systems integrators can reduce installation and set-up time and minimise the number of commutes, resulting in sustainable business practices that are economically viable, socially responsible and environmentally friendly.\n\nwww.boschsecurity.com<\/a>","post_title":"Bosch offers built-in AI with Autodome IP starlight 5100i video camera","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"bosch-offers-built-in-ai-with-autodome-ip-starlight-5100i-video-camera","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-01-18 12:04:00","post_modified_gmt":"2021-01-18 12:04:00","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4597","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.

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":4505,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-10 10:46:00","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-10 10:46:00","post_content":"Optex\u2019 range of Intelligent Passive Infrared (PIR) sensors have been deployed by Harper Security Systems to cover three properties in the UK Home Counties and Lincolnshire.

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.

In addition, the Aperio\/Connect ONE integration works with popular Bosch, DMP, ELK and Honeywell Vista panels so they can be up and running with new specs quickly.\u201d\n\n\u201cIntegration with the Aperio locksets provides vIDix Control customers with the ability to extend electronic access to areas of their facility that are typically off limits to a wired solution,\u201d added Steve Lohman, Workplace Security Solutions Product Advocate, Ban-Koe Companies.\n\n\u201cConnect ONE offers a simple, scalable solution that complements the Aperio offering perfectly,\u201d stated Mark Duato, Executive Vice President, Aftermarket, Assa Abloy Opening Solutions Americas. \u201cThis integration will offer dealers and end-users a highly flexible solution for comprehensive access management.\n\n\u201cThe Aperio integration with vIDix Control combines ease of use with flexibility and scalability to enable comprehensive management for any facility,\u201d he continued.\n\nDiscussing the integration with the Frontier Integrated Platform, Bruce Rogoff, CEO of Matrix Systems, stated: \u201cThe Assa Abloy integration furthers our commitment to open platforms and helping customers secure even more of their facilities. Partnering with Assa Abloy gives Matrix the ability to help lower access control costs to the enterprise organisations we serve across the country.\u201d\n\n\u201cThe Matrix commitment to delivering the precise level of security an organization needs is an excellent fit for Assa Abloy,\u201d noted Duato. \u201cThe integration with our IP-enabled technology supports that commitment with a solution that makes it easier and more affordable to expand access control deeper into a facility.\u201d\n\nwww.assaabloydss.com<\/a>","post_title":"Assa Abloy integrates with Connected Technologies, Ban-Koe Companies and Matrix Systems","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"assa-abloy-integrates-with-connected-technologies-ban-koe-companies-and-matrix-systems","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-02-08 10:46:04","post_modified_gmt":"2023-02-08 10:46:04","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4301","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4295,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2020-12-23 11:10:00","post_date_gmt":"2020-12-23 11:10:00","post_content":"Version 2.2 of the SIA Open Supervised Device Protocol (OSDP) has been released by the Security Industry Association (SIA). OSDP is an access control communications standard developed by SIA to improve interoperability among access control and security products.\n\nSIA OSDP version 2.2 features the messages and formatting that were included in the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) 60839-11-5 standard released earlier in 2020 and addresses some of the minor errata within that document. SIA OSDP version 2.2 replaces version 2.1.7 of the specification, released in 2015. The updates include an enhanced method for file transfer, which allows for the transfer of large data sets for firmware updates or graphics from an access control unit to a reader, clearer instructions for the implementation of SecureChannel to facilitate encrypted communications and updated messages for handling smartcard applications within the protocol.\n\nSIA OSDP version 2.2 is described as a bridge that allows for easier updates of the OSDP specification and the subsequent publishing of these enhancements as an international standard. SIA OSDP allows devices, such as card readers, control panels or other security management systems to work together, providing the security industry with a solution that moves far beyond the widely-used Wiegand standard in terms of security and functionality. A two-way channel and encryption pave the way for advanced security applications such as the handling of smart cards, biometrics and government applications that require Public Key Infrastructure or Federal Identity, Credential and Access Management requirements.\n\n\u201cSIA OSDP version 2.2 is a culmination of all of the work done over the past five years to prepare the protocol for international standardisation and fixes the majority of common implementation challenges faced by implementers of version 2.1.7,\u201d said Steve Rogers, co-chair of the SIA OSDP Working Group and president at IQ Devices.\n\nThe SIA OSDP standard is recommended for access control installations that require advanced security or will be used in government and other higher-security settings. In April 2020, SIA introduced SIA OSDP Verified, a comprehensive testing programme that validates a device\u2019s conformance to the SIA OSDP standard and related performance protocols. Maintained and developed by the SIA OSDP Working Group since 2011, the SIA OSDP standard was approved by the IEC technical committee on alarm and electronic security systems as an international standard in June 2020.\n\nSIA OSDP v2.2 aims to duplicate the contents and terminology that were required in the IEC standardisation process, harmonising the SIA published protocol series and the IEC standard. Future versions of OSDP will continue to follow the IEC formatting conventions, enabling the always-evolving work of the SIA SODP Working Group to be more easily adopted through the IEC standards process.\n\nwww.securityindustry.org<\/a>","post_title":"Version 2.2 of SIA OSDP standard unveiled","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"version-2-2-of-sia-osdp-standard-unveiled","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2020-12-17 12:30:13","post_modified_gmt":"2020-12-17 12:30:13","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4295","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4356,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2020-12-23 09:16:00","post_date_gmt":"2020-12-23 09:16:00","post_content":"In our series of 2021 predictions, Robin Hughes of Secure Logiq talks about video analytics.","post_title":"SOS 2021 Predictions | 'Video Analytics' with Secure Logiq","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"sos-2021-predictions-video-analytics-with-secure-logiq","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-01-23 10:49:50","post_modified_gmt":"2023-01-23 10:49:50","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4356","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4286,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2020-12-16 14:33:59","post_date_gmt":"2020-12-16 14:33:59","post_content":"Simon Wheeler and Neil Bain from Controlled.co.uk, discuss how the security industry may change in a post-pandemic world.","post_title":"SOS Opinion | Will the security industry return to normal after the pandemic?

The complete end-to-end solution offers protection at the perimeter, entrance and exit points, as well as close monitoring of the gaming hall and individual machines, guarding against break-ins and criminal damage as well as tampering and fraud.\n\nCasinos must be adequately protected, not just to secure the premises and protect against fraud or theft, but also to fulfil legal requirements set by the Gambling Commission and local authorities. Napoleons Casinos & Restaurants owners, The A&S Leisure Group Ltd, sought to employ a system that would incorporate the latest advancements in security, without the need to use multiple providers. Axis, together with its partner Brock Business Support, specified and deployed a solution which was customised to fully support the casino\u2019s requirements.\n\n\u201cWhen looking at the requirements of the new site, integration between the surveillance and access control systems was important, together with high quality images from the cameras, and immediate video play back with audio,\u201d explained Guy Hewson, Head of Security at The A&S Leisure Group Ltd. \u201cWe turned to Brock Business Support who, through its close working partnership with Axis Communications, was able to specify a system that could be tailor made for our requirements.\u201d\n\nThe project saw 100 cameras installed at the site, requiring six AXIS T8524 PoE+ network switches and recording on three servers, all driven by the AXIS Camera Station software running over four viewing stations. The staff entrance utilises an AXIS A8004-VE network video door station, and all staff are admitted after scanning using a biometric reader. Inside, AXIS M3065-V network mini dome cameras cover back of house areas, providing a wide-angle view.\n\nGaming tables, money exchange areas, bars and slot machines are monitored by AXIS P3375-V network cameras with built in two-way audio functionality. At the roulette wheels AXIS F1015 sensor units sit inside the table displays, providing a discrete full view with recording capabilities and images that are clear and sharp. Externally, the perimeter is covered by AXIS P3245-LVE fixed dome network cameras with AXIS Lightfinder technology, ideal for variable lighting and weather conditions.\n\n\u201cMultiple factors were taken into consideration during the installation of the many cameras and sensors across the Napoleons Casinos site, which meant meticulous planning, right down to considerations around connectivity,\u201d said Dave Brock, Managing Director, Brock Business Support. \u201cFor example, the use of AXIS Zipstream technology meant that Cat-5E cabling could be used, meaning no need to upgrade. This represented an immediate cost saving for the casino\u2019s owners.\u201d\n\nWith the ability to capture and export live video data in real-time for the authorities in the event of an incident, Axis\u2019 solution provides peace of mind for all at the site. Satisfied that the new system has met all of its objectives, The A&S Leisure Group Ltd now plans to review the technologies at its other four sites, implementing variations on the design employed so successfully at the Manchester premises.\n\nwww.axis.com<\/a>","post_title":"Axis creates end-to-end security and surveillance solution for Manchester casino","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"axis-creates-end-to-end-security-and-surveillance-solution-for-manchester-casino","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2020-11-18 14:45:57","post_modified_gmt":"2020-11-18 14:45:57","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4012","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":3975,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2020-11-13 16:27:22","post_date_gmt":"2020-11-13 16:27:22","post_content":"\n

                                       The 22nd ONVIF Developers\u2019 Plugfest took place this year as a virtual event in October. Nearly 50 developers and engineers from 26 ONVIF member companies gathered virtually over two weeks in and completed nearly 200 hours of testing. Developers could test products independently for profile conformance, as well as assess interoperability between their devices and those from other manufacturers.
                                       
                                       \u201cLike so many other organisations, ONVIF has had to adapt to new ways of collaborating and exchanging ideas,\u201d said Per Bj\u00f6rkdahl, chair of the ONVIF Steering Committee. \u201cInteroperability doesn\u2019t happen in a vacuum and, while nothing will replace valuable face-to-face interaction with our members, we are grateful for the continued participation of member companies in supporting ONVIF profile conformance.\u201d
                                       
                                       Profiles tested at this event include Profile A for access control configuration, Profile C for door control and event management, Profile S for basic video streaming, Profile T for advanced video streaming, Profile G for edge storage and retrieval, Profile Q for quick installation and the Profile M Release Candidate for metadata and analytics for smart applications.
                                       
                                       ONVIF Developers\u2019 Plugfests are typically held twice a year around the world, allowing the global members to gather and test their implementations. Due to the uncertain nature of the COVID-19 pandemic, details of the 23rd virtual ONVIF Developers\u2019 Plugfest will be announced at a later date.

                                       \u201cThe ability to receive live video feed from the ship using minimal communication bandwidth is a game changer for us,\u201d said Don Scott, Chief Technology Officer of the Mayflower Autonomous Ship. \u201cVideosoft provides real-time telepresence allowing us to reliably monitor the live situation and give us confidence in the vehicle\u2019s operation at sea.  It has already been an invaluable tool during sea trials and we look forward to having the live feed during the voyage itself.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                       Videosoft\u2019s technology will help capture footage from the Mayflower's six onboard cameras at sea. Using satellite connectivity and compression technologies, footage will be transmitted back to AI developers and research scientists providing real-time feedback and visuals during the mission. The international grassroots project is led by marine research organisation ProMare alongside IBM, which is acting as both lead technology partner and lead scientific partner, with other key design and construction partners including MSUBs, Aluship and MarineAI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                       With an AI Captain at the helm, MAS is able to operate for long distances and durations at sea collecting critical data about the ocean.  Powered by IBM\u2019s computer vision, automation and machine learning technologies, the AI Captain maintains constant situational awareness and makes decisions about what to do next in line with collision regulations.            <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                       Videosoft's Chief Executive Officer Stewart McCone said: \"This project is designed to transform humanity\u2019s relationship with the ocean. To say we're totally thrilled to be involved in the Mayflower Autonomous Ship project would be an understatement. By working alongside innovative and specialist companies who are experts in their field and have an intimate knowledge of what they are doing, Videosoft is enabling the ambitions of this multi-million-pound project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                       \"Streaming live video from ocean-going vessels is not straightforward, and you really need to know what you're doing to pull it off successfully.

                                       Plymouth Rock Technologies has announced a binding LOI to acquire Tetra Drones, a developer of Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS). The transaction is set to take form of a corporate combination whereby PRT will acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of Tetra Drones. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                       \u201cAfter working closely with the PRT team on recent projects, it became clear that their vision, connections, and focus was something that my team and I wanted to evolve into\u201d, stated Ben Pickard, Director and Lead Designer of Tetra Drones Ltd. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                       \u201cBeing part of a focused public company also opens many doors that were once closed to Tetra when dealing with certain governments and agencies, as well as an offering a presence and expansion into the US market.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                       The terms of the LOI shall be a binding agreement of both parties and the form and substance of a definitive agreement (the 'Definitive Agreement') is to be negotiated on or before 30th April 2021. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                       \u201cLike PRT, Tetra is highly focused on supporting its customers around the world with the most reliable and purposeful products and services for their missions\u201d, said Carl Cagliarini, Chief Strategy Officer of PRT. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                       \u201cAs we welcome the Tetra team to PRT, we commit to moving forward into a sales phase within the USA and EU. The addition of the team members and facility ties in perfectly with our long-term strategy, which adds a significant expansion to PRT\u2019s reach and technical capability\u201d, concluded Cagliarini.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                       Plymouth Rock has agreed to acquire the Tetra Shares for the sum of \u00a3350,000 payable in instalments and satisfied in cash.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                       Payment of the Purchase Price will be on the following schedule:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                          The Security Systems and Alarms Inspection Board (SSAIB) have achieved accreditation for BAFE's SP207 scheme for emergency evacuation systems - used by Fire and Rescue services to prioritise evacuation from residential high rise buildings and ensure people at risk in endangered areas can be safely evacuated. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                          The new development from BAFE covers the design, installation, commissioning and maintenance of emergency evacuations systems that will help to provide quality evidence of competency to deliver these services, while also supporting British Standard 8629 Evacuation Alert Systems for use by fire and rescue services in buildings containing flats. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                          \"Developed in response to a recommendation from the Grenfell Tower Phase 1 inquiry report, it is likely to become a requirement that you will need to be third-party certified to work on emergency evacuation systems going forward,\" said Keith Strugnell, SSAIB Fire Scheme Manager. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                          \"However, despite it being a brand new scheme, existing SSAIB-registered SP203-1 firms will find it comparable to their own scheme \u2013 as it utilises a similar format, albeit that the scheme document has been changed to make it more relevant to emergency evacuation systems. Therefore, in theory, you will satisfy the requirements for SP207 by default if you already have SP203-1.\" <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                          BAFE announced the scheme in the final quarter of 2020 and Keith went on to reveal that the leading UKAS-accredited certification body for the fire and security industries acted promptly to ensure that the organisation could add SP207 to its existing catalogue of BAFE fire schemes.
                                          
                                          Keith continued: \u201cWith regards to SSAIB, we completed training with BS 8629:2019 for our auditors and scheduled several pilot audits for those initial companies to achieve certification for this latest scheme that we provide certification for to the fire industry. We then collated all of the necessary criteria that was needed for our information packs and then we were ready to go.\"
                                          
                                          BAFE\u2019s director of schemes, Chris Auger, added: \u201cThe demand shown following the MHCLG consultation is unprecedented and represents a far greater awareness of systems and competency of their installers required following the tragedy of the Grenfell Tower Fire.
                                          
                                          \u201cWith the work BAFE have performed in conjunction with the industry and Fire and Rescue Service, we are pleased to offer a route to achieving this important third-party certification. Quality evidence of competency is going to have far greater scrutiny for everyone working in high-rise blocks in the very near future which can only be a good thing. This scheme will fill this crucial gap in providing confidence to specifiers knowing they are fulfilling their due diligence and continuing the \u2018golden thread\u2019 of accountability for the life safety of residents within the building.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                          \u201cThe expanding portfolio of BAFE schemes represents the necessity of quality evidence of competency required for niche, but extremely important, areas of the industry. Third-party certification is going to be a key focus of attention for the built environment moving forward and BAFE need to position itself to offer schemes that are both needed and, reflect the current concerns of occupants, regulators, service providers and building owners\/managers.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                          The Mausoleum of Qin Shihuangdi in the city of Xi\u2019an has been outfitted with a comprehensive intrusion alarm system from Bosch Building Technologies. The Unesco World Heritage Site is home to a 2,000-year-old army of clay statues, the world-famous Terracotta Warriors, guarding the tomb of China\u2019s first emperor. Several hundred TriTech motion detectors are deployed to protect the 16,300-square-foot museum against theft and damage. According to the manufacturer, these detectors prevent costly and time-consuming false alarms under challenging environmental conditions, while providing detection reliability of real alarms. Because of the intrusion detection system, which detects and reports any unauthorised intrusion into the security areas to security personnel in less than two seconds, the museum can dispense entirely with physical protective barriers such as glass walls.<\/p>\n

                                          \u201cThe cooperation with Bosch is an excellent showcase of modern high-tech protection of historic buildings,\u201d said Ren Xuxin, Project Manager of Xi\u2019an Terracotta Warriors and Horses Pit Security Upgrade Project. \u201cBosch intrusion alarm systems help to upgrade the security level of these unique historic sites.\u201d<\/p>\n

                                          As wall detectors, the TriTech motion detectors protect the pits where the terracotta warriors are located. Because these pits collect large amounts of dust that could cause false alarms, the intelligent sensor data fusion algorithm in each of the detectors checks potential alarms with PIR sensor and microwave Doppler radar for a consistent result. The area to be protected is also secured from above by ceiling-mounted TriTech motion detectors located 4.8m above the museum floor.<\/p>\n

                                          In the event of an actual security breach, the Bosch G-Series system controller sends an alert, including the location of the triggered detector, to the security team in the control room, which uses live images from a video system to verify the alarm. In most cases, tourists trigger an alarm when they cross a threshold to retrieve their cameras or smartphones that have accidentally fallen into the pit. In doing so, there is a risk of damage to the priceless terracotta warriors.<\/p>\n

                                          The TriTech motion detectors provide round-the-clock protection for the museum, which is visited by thousands of people every day. In accordance with the museum operator\u2019s list of requirements, the intrusion detection system protects not only the museum, including the perimeter, as well as the visitor areas of the mausoleum, but additionally the cultural treasures currently stored in the unmanned warehouse.<\/p>\nwww.boschbuildingtechnologies.com<\/a>","post_title":"Bosch intrusion alarm solution protects Chinese terracotta warriors","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"bosch-intrusion-alarm-solution-protects-chinese-terracotta-warriors","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-03-09 11:17:38","post_modified_gmt":"2021-03-09 11:17:38","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=5228","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":5179,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-03-05 09:32:12","post_date_gmt":"2021-03-05 09:32:12","post_content":"Ditek has promoted Wendy Gattis to Chief Executive Officer.

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":4851,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-02-08 16:44:28","post_date_gmt":"2021-02-08 16:44:28","post_content":"Motorola Solutions has added to its video security and analytics portfolio with the Artificial Intelligence Network Video Recorder (AI NVR).

CertAlarm is now able to offer these certifications.\n\nBack in 2018, The Technical Committee CEN\/TC 72 released two common standards \u2013 EN 54-5: 2017 + A1:2018, \u201cHeat detectors \u2013 Point heat detectors\u201d, and 54-7: 2018, \u201cSmoke detectors \u2013 Point smoke detectors that operate using scattered light, transmitted light or ionisation\u201d. Following this, the European Commission cited them in the OJEU in 2019. The updated provisions include increased requirements for the EMC-resilience of detectors.\n\nBoth updated standards are mandatory for products that are sold throughout the EU from the end of the transition period on August 31, 2022. That means that all manufacturers should now start with the update of their corresponding external certificates and internal declarations by applying the latest version of EN 54-5 and EN 54-7 to their products. In due course, all manufacturers of heat and smoke detectors will be required to apply to authorised Notified Bodies for a Certificate of Constancy of Performance to the new revisions, enabling them to update their DoPs (Declaration of Performance).\n\nThe majority of CertAlarm partners have been accredited by their national Accreditation Bodies and notified by the EU for testing and certification based on the two harmonised norms and can now fully support manufacturers in obtaining the respective certificates.\n\n\u201cWe want to provide a comprehensive, competitive and time-saving support to manufacturers by offering all relevant testing and certification services as a one-stop solution which is valid throughout Europe,\u201d said Anja Kinsky, General Manager of CertAlarm. \u201cWe\u2019re therefore pleased to announce that we also cover these new certification requirements.\u201d\n\nwww.certalarm.org<\/a>","post_title":"CertAlarm partners accredited new EN 54-5 and 54-7 standards","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"certalarm-partners-accredited-new-en-54-5-and-54-7-standards","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-03 16:06:31","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-03 16:06:31","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4816","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4788,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-02-02 11:52:44","post_date_gmt":"2021-02-02 11:52:44","post_content":"There has been a sharp increase in the necessity for businesses to adopt hosted video surveillance (VSaaS) and access control (ACaaS) solutions according to new research into the impact of Covid-19 on physical security purchasing decisions. While 70% of 1,000 senior decision makers in IT, security, FM and HR roles agree this to be the case, 78% also anticipate their organisations\u2019 use of cloud technologies to increase in the future as a result of Covid-19.\n\nMorphean commissioned the independent survey which revealed that over three-quarters (76%) of senior managers in UK, Germany and Sweden have increased their use of video conferencing (e.g. Microsoft Teams); 65% have increased their use of office applications (e.g. Microsoft 365); and 70% of those in the security sector are now strongly inclined towards cloud adoption.\n\n51% say their company is currently using a cloud-based service for video surveillance (VSaaS) and\/or access control (ACaaS). This is an increase of 3% over 2019 (48%) and broadly reflects projected growth in the physical security market from US$93.5 billion in 2020 to US$120.3 billion by 2025 at a CAGR of 5.2%. The accelerating adoption of hosted solutions is buoyed by its low cost set up, flexible scalability and demand for real-time and remote access to security data.\n\n\u201cThe results highlight a hosted physical security market that will see strong growth in 2021 as cloud applications are proven to deliver business continuity in challenging times,\u201d said Rodrigue Zbinden, CEO of Morphean SA. \u201cAt the height of the lockdown, many business premises were unoccupied and potentially vulnerable, but remote monitoring and maintenance made possible by hosted security were a welcome advantage. We also saw a spike in demand for frictionless access control enabling a totally hands-free experience and negating the need for physical contact. Business leaders will now be considering the learnings from the past year and looking to apply them to boost productivity, streamline costs and make organisations more agile.\u201d\n\nFor security professionals already working with cloud services, the growth in connected digital devices through the IoT is resulting in an increased appetite for physical security, such as network cameras, to enhance existing IT systems and assist business intelligence gathering. The report shows that 95% agree that if an existing security system could deliver insights beyond security to assist decision making (i.e. occupancy or test and trace analytics), it would influence adoption.\n\nMore flexibility in working locations is the benefit respondents are most likely to identify from moving business functions to the cloud (50%), followed by easier collaboration (44%); more cost-effective (44%); safer\/better security (38%). It was found that 82% anticipate the levels\/frequency of remote workers and flexible working in their organisations to be higher post-pandemic and in the longer term than they were pre-pandemic.\n\nSecurity will need to be enhanced to facilitate greater flexibility in worker patterns. An access control solution which is linked to HR records, for example, can check the swipe of an access card against staff records. A staff member who is flagged as being on leave, absent or no longer employed will trigger an automated alert to the relevant personnel. Surveillance cameras also provide secondary authentication through visual clarification of an individual\u2019s identity.\n\n\u201cFor the physical security reseller, the study will demonstrate that hosted security solutions must play a major part in expanding their offering to a wiser customer base,\u201d said Zbinden. \u201cCloud-enabled physical security solutions represent an investment into improving security and operations, a chance to forge new business relationships, and an opportunity to embrace future proof technologies in preparation for whatever challenges the future might hold.\u201d\n\nRead the full report here<\/a>.\n\nwww.morphean.com<\/a>\n\n ","post_title":"Hosted video and access control sees sharp rise during the pandemic","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"hosted-video-and-access-control-sees-sharp-rise-during-the-pandemic","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-02 11:52:46","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-02 11:52:46","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4788","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4735,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-29 14:31:33","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-29 14:31:33","post_content":"Paxton is using online face-to-face training to offer installers the opportunity to understand and implement the latest updates to its flagship access control system Net2, and newest combined access control and video management system, Paxton10.

The manufacturer states that Cerberus Pace Modular and Compact offer a comprehensive PA\/VA solution, which can be integrated with fire protection and danger management systems. \n\n\u201cThanks to the Cerberus Pace systems, the user can cover all public and voice alarm needs with a single solution\u201d said Mario Kahlert, Head of Fire Safety at Siemens Smart Infrastructure. \u201cBy sharing the same state of the art technology as the modular system, but addressing small and simple applications, the Cerberus Pace Compact enables extensive customisation and is a cost-efficient solution for customers.\u201d \n\nThe range of potential applications covers any situation which require PA\/VA, including offices, hotels, airports, commercial facilities and educational buildings. As with the Modular system, Cerberus Pace Compact incorporates multiple redundancy levels and is also suitable for step-by-step modernisation of outdated systems. According to the manufacturer, the system\u2019s professional sound quality and low latency enable clear communication, both in emergency situations and for day-to-day announcements or music.\n\nCerberus Pace Compact is available in two versions: Compact 400 and Compact 1000. Wall mounted, despite its comparatively small size, Cerberus Pace Compact offers power of up to 2,000W and an additional backup amplifier and pilot tone amplifier. Cerberus Pace systems are fully compliant with the EN 54-16 standard and local codes of practice in European countries. The systems can cover all redundancy, ensuring there is adequate back-up. To support the safety-first approach, both high performing and reliable systems stand for no single point of failure, thanks to distributed intelligence, where each network participant has a CPU that allows the device to be made independent.\n\nCerberus Pace comes with dedicated configuration software and real-time engineering. The system can be configured live, while it is running, reportedly without causing any interruption to day-to-day activities. No shut down is necessary for maintenance or to change the configuration, with remote access ensuring business continuity, whatever the environment. \n\nCerberus Pace Compact can be combined with the Modular system using the same network and configuration tools to offer a wider choice of ancillary products (for example, amplifiers or audio matrix), while also enabling cost optimisation. In addition, both systems can be used for stepwise modernisations of older voice alarm systems (often using existing cabling), making it possible to futureproof the system to meet changing demands. Different connection options (loop, stub line, double stub lines, and even compatibility with star structures or T-taps) offer greater flexibility during the installation process.\n\nwww.siemens.com\/cerberus-pace<\/a>\n\n ","post_title":"Siemens launches compact PA\/VA solution","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"siemens-launches-compact-pa-va-solution","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-01-29 10:49:01","post_modified_gmt":"2021-01-29 10:49:01","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4727","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4633,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-21 18:40:49","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-21 18:40:49","post_content":"Montana State University-Northern is using Napco Security Technologies products in a school security project.

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":4609,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-19 15:02:03","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-19 15:02:03","post_content":"Simon Wheeler and Neil Bain from Controlled.co.uk discuss how systems integration contracts come to them and how they approach their relationships with clients.","post_title":"SOS Opinion | How Controlled.co.uk secure contracts in systems integration","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"sos-opinion-how-controlled-co-uk-secure-contracts-in-systems-integration","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-01-19 15:02:08","post_modified_gmt":"2021-01-19 15:02:08","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4609","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4597,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-18 12:03:55","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-18 12:03:55","post_content":"Bosch states that its new Autodome IP starlight 5100i offers enhanced image quality and built-in Artificial Intelligence (AI) to help operators react before a potential situation occurs. Designed for outdoor surveillance applications when light levels vary, the Autodome IP starlight 5100i has a new \u00bd inch camera sensor offering 4MP resolution and 20x optical zoom to detect people or objects at a maximum distance up to 1,676m.\n\nThe camera is equipped with advanced motion optimised High Dynamic Range (HDR-X) at 133dB and starlight technology, which the manufacturer states allows the camera to provide \u201cexceptional image quality during daytime and at lower light levels such as dusk and dawn without blurring of moving objects\u201d. The camera is weatherproof with vandal-resistant housing expanding its use to demanding city surveillance situations.\n\nBuilt-in AI, like video analytics, uses metadata to add sense and structure to video footage. Bosch states that this enables cameras to \u201cunderstand what they are seeing and gives customers a smart choice to know what is next\u201d.\n\nThe Autodome IP starlight 5100i camera comes with built-in Essential Video Analytics to deliver actionable insights that help operators react before a possible threat or unwanted situation occurs. This built-in AI captures relevant data for uses such as enforcing traffic regulations, detecting vehicles driving in the wrong direction, and delivering occupancy data, such as the number of vehicles entering and leaving a parking garage for smarter, more efficient parking. When idle, the camera can provide relevant, usable statistics like the number of people entering a specific area, analyse behavior, or assist in enforcing health and safety regulations such as raising awareness of a blocked emergency exit.\n\nHigher resolutions and frame rates, improved dynamic range, and enhanced light sensitivity are essential to capturing images that can distinguish individuals or objects for identification or proof. A unique feature of the Autodome IP starlight 5100i is the new \u00bd inch camera sensor offering 4MP resolution, 20x optical zoom, and durable housing to meet demanding applications, especially outdoors.\n\nThe AUTODOME\u2019s built-in starlight technology and HDR-X technology are described as an \u201cideal combination\u201d for this mid-range moving camera. Starlight technology enables the camera to capture colour detail when light levels drop to nearly zero and maximise low light performance. HDR-X eliminates shadows and balances uneven exposure with a dynamic range of 133dB. Operators can locate a person or object in motion at a distance up to 1,676m and can manually track individuals of interest as they move, regardless of speed, far beyond a fixed camera\u2019s field of view.\n\nAll Bosch video security cameras offer built-in AI as standard and connect to the Bosch cloud for remote maintenance and device management. Systems integrators can work with customers remotely to perform service when they cannot meet face to face.\n\nWith the free Bosch Project Assistant software, systems integrators are supported in the planning, pre-configuration, commissioning and reporting for video security projects without the need to be physically near the cameras. The Bosch Remote Portal offers secure device management, set up and health monitoring via the Bosch cloud from anywhere.\n\nBecause video data is often highly critical and sensitive, Bosch has a systematic approach to maximising data security centered on a built-in Trusted Platform Module to keep video data secure. With remote configuration, management and planning, systems integrators can reduce installation and set-up time and minimise the number of commutes, resulting in sustainable business practices that are economically viable, socially responsible and environmentally friendly.\n\nwww.boschsecurity.com<\/a>","post_title":"Bosch offers built-in AI with Autodome IP starlight 5100i video camera","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"bosch-offers-built-in-ai-with-autodome-ip-starlight-5100i-video-camera","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-01-18 12:04:00","post_modified_gmt":"2021-01-18 12:04:00","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4597","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.
