Integrated Security Control and Monitoring IDIS HDMI / VGA Video Encoder HE-1101 Enhanced Situational Awareness The innovative IDIS® HDMI/VGA Video Encoder (HE-1101) allows operators to view and control multiple applications all from a single monitor, keyboard and mouse by simply connecting hardware and systems that have a VGA or HDMI output. The result is an integrated application that is displayed and recorded as if it were a camera in the surveillance system, increasing situational awareness and providing greater control within a familiar environment. Incredibly cost-effective and versatile, the IDIS HE-1101 allows operators to monitor and manage almost any application or device, from IDIS and third party cameras and network video recorders (NVRs) to access control, building management, intruder, fire, and point of sale (PoS) systems, all from a single common user interface—the license-free video management software (VMS), IDIS Center, or the advanced and modular enterprise-level IDIS Solution Suite. Cost-effective Integration The encoder eliminates the need for expensive and complex integration between software and hardware, which benefits installers through quick, simple installation and setup and minimal maintenance, while ensuring IDIS’s signature low total cost of ownership for end users. Reduced Risk When a security situation or threat occurs, the increased situational awareness provided by the IDIS HE-1101 can help operators best use limited resources to validate alarms and identify the threat. The HE-1101 also closes security gaps and eliminates mistakes caused by the need to switch between disparate applications and multiple monitors. A Complete Audit Trail Every action taken by operators across all integrated systems is recorded directly to IDIS NVRs or VMS servers forming a complete audit trail of events. The audit trail can be used to confirm that standard operating procedures are being followed, helping organisations validate compliance and reduce overall risk. Suitable for a Range of Applications The HE-1101 is well suited to small and medium sized retail organisations, providing them with a powerful investigative and auditing tool to reduce shrinkage, fraudulent transactions and compliance violations. The IDIS HDMI/VGA Video Encoder delivers cost-effective and efficient centralised security control and monitoring, reducing the burden of implementation, training and maintenance, once again delivering on IDIS’s promise of low total cost of ownership.

INTERVIEW Installations made easy This month we talk to Steve Nuttall, UK Manager at Fermax about the modern access control and door entry markets ccording to Steve Nuttall, Fermax was one Aof the first companies to launch the concept of door entry systems back in 1949. The family-owned company is mainly focused on digital and IP networked door entry and intercom together with integrated access control and CCTV. This is the type of system that allows a resident to see what is happening in their garden with video footage on the door entry monitor. “This is a typical project for us today; offering a more solutions-based service for a market that is largely driven by apartment builds and new property development,” says Steve. “However, the UK is completely different from the European market, because here people are essentially living in residential homes while in Spain, France and Italy they live in apartments often in the centre of cities.” Door entry has been something of a niche market in the UK in the past, so for Fermax taking the total solutions approach enables the company to offer a single source for warranties, design, product and commissioning in applications that could involve systems from a number of sources and get complicated for installers. This makes life a lot easier for contractors. We caught up with Steve to find out more about the evolution of the sector. How has business been in the last twelve months? Our business in the UK is doing well and we've just had one of our best years for a while. The business splits between the electrical and the security sectors. In the security sector we mostly deal with specialist installers working with large contractors and we also have volume business with electrical contractors and distributors. The overall business is growing very well. How is the UK split? The UK market segments geographically and by user. The geographical split shows how the UK economy is heavily concentrated in the South East of England. In the London area the standard of new apartment builds and their www.psimagazine.co.uk specified technology is significantly higher than in the North where local authority funded projects may still be using audio-only systems. London developments are commonly specifying video, increasingly with IP and flat screens, whereas budget restrictions further North lead to handset or audio only based systems. Is video the big trend at the moment? Yes it is. The demand is definitely increasing and I think people expect to see video entry in new homes these days particularly with a touch screen rather than a handset. This may be down to the widespread use of smartphones changing consumer expectations when it comes to the devices we use and the way we communicate. Has the introduction of products such as Ring affected your business? Not in terms of competing with us as we only offer professional systems, rather than DIY consumer units. I would say however that it has had an impact because it is introducing the concept of video entry to a mass market. We're not in the same market, we have different routes to the customer and no professional installer would seriously consider a DIY solution such as Ring which is in effect a wireless doorbell rather than an entry system but it is making people aware of the security value of video entry. When people want to upgrade to a flat touchscreen with IP connectivity and video that links to your mobile and gives you control of door locks we're there! “The UK is completely different from the European market, because here people are essentially living in residential homes while in Spain, France and Italy they live in apartments” (continued over) Steve Nuttall 19
