Technology in Focus 360 Vision Technology and Visual Management Systems guard against cyber attacks As more and more security systems and devices become IP networked, it’s important for security installers and end users alike to consider how their systems will be protected against the possibility of cyber attacks. Providing a solution to the concerns around cyber security and hacking, 360 Vision Technology has partnered with software control provider Visual Management Systems to offer security operators an effective solution designed to guard against IP surveillance system cyber threats. Without the right level of network security measures in place, system users can be left vulnerable, resulting in exposure to the type of hacking and malware episodes that have recently hit the news headlines. When used together, both 360 Vision Technology cameras and Visual Management Systems’ TITAN SECURE Physical Security Information Management system can exceed 802.1x authentication protocols and encryption to provide “the ultimate protection” for surveillance networks. www.360visiontechnology.com Qognify enhances situation management with new cloudbased mobile solution suite Qognify, the specialist in Big Data solutions for physical security and operations, has just launched a new suite of integrated mobile solutions – designated Qognify Extend – empowering organisations to leverage field resources and responders to increase situational awareness. Powered by CloudScann, the cloud-based solution extends the reach, coverage and effectiveness of a given enterprise’s Control Room and operations by enabling training personnel — and their smart phones — to become powerful sensors. The Qognify Extend suite includes several modules. SeeItSendIt is geared to enable field personnel to report into the Control Room using their smart phones. www.qognify.com Bureau Veritas leads the way with launch of mobile inspection service In an industry first, leading testing, inspection and certification provider Bureau Veritas has launched a Mobile Plant Unit to deliver on-hire inspections for all mobile plants and assets. The Mobile Plant Unit has been created in response to the issue of regulations for mobile assets, specifically the Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations (PUWER) and the Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations (LOLER) inspections, which are required of all mobile plant and assets including mobile platforms, lifting and crane equipment, excavators and bulldozers. The new unit boasts an expert team of qualified engineer surveyors able to undertake thorough examinations and inspections of equipment as the ‘competent person’, to ascertain it’s safe to use and enable clients to meet their statutory obligations – wherever that equipment may be located. Shaezar Karim, divisional director for mechanical at Bureau Veritas, said: “Our new Mobile Plant Unit allows us to provide a much-needed solution to a problem faced by contractors across the country. For mobile assets, which are often hired out to contractors and moved around the UK, meeting statutory obligations can be a challenge. In some cases, people are unaware of their obligations, mistakenly believing it’s the sole duty of the hire company to undertake PUWER and LOLER inspections. However, it’s also the responsibility of the user to make sure that the periodic thorough examinations and inspections are undertaken at the correct frequencies.” Karim added: “Crucially, our dedicated Mobile Plant Unit understands the issues faced when working with mobile plant. As such, our experienced engineers are able to react when assets change location.” In addition to the launch of the Mobile Plant Unit, Bureau Veritas offers tools and systems specifically designed to support the company’s myriad clients. www.bureauveritas.co.uk Wavestore unveils Version 6.8 of Video Management Software Wavestore, the British developer of innovative open-platform and highly secure Linux-based Video Management Software (VMS), has launched Version 6.8 of its VMS to deliver performance and functionality improvements for system integrators and end users alike. Among many enhancements and additional features, Version 6.8 includes support for VMWare ESXi, in turn introducing virtualisation to the Wavestore VMS platform. End users employing Virtual Machines (VM) as part of their IT infrastructure are now able to take full advantage of the technology which can help when it comes to reducing energy, software and IT administration costs. Wavestore’s VMS can be licensed in two ways when in a VM environment: either via the Internet or Wavestore’s dedicated VM dongle. www.wavestore.com 62 www.risk-uk.com
Technology in Focus SPC Connect’s latest developments demonstrate Vanderbilt’s agility Vanderbilt has announced the release of SPC Connect 2.4 to add to the company’s SPC product portfolio. SPC Connect is a hosted cloud-based solution designed specifically for installers to monitor, manage and maintain SPC panels remotely from any location. The release indicates a significant development pace by the company as it comes just four months after the last feature set of SPC Connect updates in April. The latest features include push notifications, local user management and alarm verification. “SPC Connect is developed to enhance the security installer’s ability to configure their systems remotely and, with user management enhancements, the solution speeds up the process of adding and configuring users,” explained John O’Donnell, product manager at Vanderbilt. “It means that the system administrator can now configure users to have access to their SPC system very quickly, saving them both time and money.” The push notifications for iOS devices ensure SPC Connect users are always informed of new information related to their SPC system. www.vanderbiltindustries.com Bosch introduces in-store analytics solution for use in retail sector Bosch Security Systems has introduced In- Store Analytics, a solution designed to provide today’s retailers with valuable insights on store traffic such that they can improve operations, customer engagement and sales. As part of the solution, Bosch IP panoramic cameras are installed to provide high visibility of the retail floor. The cameras use on-board Intelligent Video Analytics to create position data of shoppers’ movements. This data is then sent direct to the cloud where it’s further processed without video streams ever leaving the retailer’s premises, thus maintaining shoppers’ privacy. Unlike many systems that require on-site PCs to pre-process the video streams, subsequently limiting their performance to a few cameras per site, Bosch’s solution easily ONVIF publishes Release Candidate for Profile T ONVIF – the global standardisation initiative for IP-based physical security products – has announced the Release Candidate for Profile T, a draft specification with advanced streaming capabilities that includes support for H.265 video compression and an expanded feature set that extends the capabilities of ONVIF video Profiles for both system integrators and end users. ONVIF Profile T for advanced streaming deliberately employs a new media service that enables the support of High Efficiency Video Coding based on the international H.265 video compression standard that specifies how to decode data into displayable video. Profile T-conformant clients support both H.264 and H.265 video compression. Profile T-conformant devices support at least one of these formats. The new Profile encompasses Transport Layer Security-enabled communications and new functionalities such as bi-directional audio streaming, standardisation of events and on-screen display configuration. “Profile T broadens the scope of the ONVIF video profile to include both the H.264 video compression standard and H.265 video compression, which is set to become the de facto video compression standard in the very near future,” explained Fredrik Svensson, chairman of ONVIF’s Profile T Working Group. www.onvif.org scales to cover even the largest of retail stores with a high camera count in addition to large multi-store chains. In the cloud, position data is mined into performance results and visualisations that are shared with the retailer through customised web interfaces for merchandisers and operations managers alike. For operations managers, In-Store Analytics provides insights into department and store-level traffic. Practising operations managers can use these insight tools to ensure sufficient staff are on-site to serve shoppers during peak times. Traffic data also enables retailers to track customer service quality over time. Retailers will benefit from actionable insights delivered by this new solution, as the shopper data rendered by In-Store Analytics boasts a particularly high accuracy rate. www.boschsecurity.com 63 www.risk-uk.com
