security focus ViconNet upgrade Vicon, one of the world’s leading manufacturers of CCTV and high quality video systems, has introduced a new version of their ViconNet digital video management software. ViconNet V3, which takes advantage of Windows’ dual screen capability, is an upgraded version of its highly successful predecessor. The Graphical User Interface, one of ViconNet’s key strengths, has been enhanced with a new Site Map GUI facility allowing interlinking maps of buildings under surveillance to be used for camera selection. Operators view video by clicking on camera icons without needing to know how the cameras are physically connected. “Before introducing this latest version of ViconNet we spoke to a large number of our customers so that we understood how they wanted to see the product evolved,” said REUTERS/Jim Young Rapid deployment CCTV solutions protect G8 Summit Rapid deployment cameras from MEL Secure Systems played a key role during the recent annual G8 Summit held at Gleneagles on 6th- 8th July. The Scottish Police and Security Services deployed the wireless CCTV solutions to provide perimeter protection at the main conference and other associated sites. The Hawk range of cameras was used in both analogue and COFDM digital formats to provide a flexible monitoring solution. According to Jon Bateson of MEL Secure Systems: “We are proud that we were selected for this prestigious, high security event. It confirms our position as one of the UK’s leading providers of reliable and secure rapid deployment CCTV solutions.” Reader Reply No.: 84035 Chris Wall, Vicon’s Managing Director. “An example of this is a feature that notifies an operator that a DVR is not recording, overcoming one of the biggest problems in managing a large digital video system when recording stops in a remote, often unmanned, location. We have also taken on board the views of IT managers and built in a “throttle” to control bandwidth consumption over lower capacity networks using DSL or ISDN connections.” ViconNet V3 now supports Vicon’s new Kollector DVR range with a built-in 4-output analogue matrix which provides the option to switch local video through to conventional composite monitors. Control room operators can now observe live full screen analogue video in addition to multi-screen digital VGA display. The management software also has been integrated with leading access control and video analysis systems allowing improved interoperability between different elements of a security system. The technical advances introduced in ViconNet V3 consolidates Vicon’s ability to provide high performance CCTV solutions from a simple stand-alone Camera/DVR installation, through to a networked DVR installation, to a full IP Video network video system. ll IP Video network video system. Reader Reply No.: 84038 Secure key storage with new Cable Lock Camlock Systems, one of the World’s leading designers, manufacturers and suppliers of industrial locks and locking systems, has introduced a new Cable Lock that helps prevent the theft, misuse and loss of keys. The cable lock will interest all those who use keys as an integral part of their job and is also an alternative to the ubiquitous padlock, wherever a rigid shackle offers insufficient flexibility. The product is expected to have a particularly strong appeal for vending and gaming machine operators and all those with responsibility for the security of premises. The cable lock is a secure alternative to the commonly used ‘jailer’ type key ring but makes it far easier to carry, remove and replace keys. Highly versatile, it helps to prevent unauthorised key duplication, and can be quickly locked over a belt or to any fixed fitting for extra security. A benefit of the new product is that it can share a key combination with existing suites of Camlock products of the same type, making one less key to carry round. The lock is machined from solid brass for excellent durability and reliability, chrome plated and normally supplied with two keys. It is available in a choice of New IP Impact Resistant Dome Vicon continue to build on their position as one of the leading manufacturers of domes with the introduction of the Roughneck IP Camera Dome. Utilising Vicon's propriety compression based on MPEG4 to maximise picture quality, the Roughneck V910 is equipped with a 100 Mbps LAN interface board and can therefore be directly connected to a network switch. Up to 30 frames per second of DVD quality video can be transmitted across a network. The images can be displayed, recorded or archived via any Kollector Elite DVR or PC work station on the network. The Roughneck V910 supports museum search, motion detection, alarm reporting and configuration and macro operation through the ViconNet software interface. Impact resistant and equipped with vandal resistant screws, the Roughneck V910 is suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications and is available with the option of either a high resolution colour camera or a day/night camera. Camlock’s conventional 7 pin radial pin tumbler mechanism or in the ‘Octagon’ 7 pin format. The Octagon version offers the additional benefits of key registration on keyed-alike suites, patent protection against unauthorised duplicate keys being cut and over half a million key differs. The company plans to introduce a ‘Camatic’ changeable combination version at a later date. To suit a wide range of different users, the new cable lock comes with a choice of three cable lengths: 20cm, 30cm or 46cm. All cables are manufactured from aerospace quality steel with a tensile strength of 115g and have a stainless steel spring covering. Reader Reply No.: 84081 48 www.practicalfm.co.uk
