APPLICATION Integrated security solution for London commercial property Derwent London, a FTSE 250 Index British-based property development and investment firm with a property portfolio worth £4.9 billion, acquired the White Chapel Building in central London in December 2015. A complete refurbishment of the building meant that a new security system that delivered solutions for tenants was required. Antron Security project managed the design and installation of the access control and security system and Inner Range provided the core access control and intruder detection system. Integriti provides the core security solution for the White Chapel Building. The system integrates with thirdparty products to become a PSIM system, managing not only security and building automation but also people and business continuity processes. In this instance, Integriti allows around 2,000 people troublefree access to their approved parts of the building, as well as managing visitors efficiently and allowing security managers to monitor events easily and remotely. The installation includes 35 CCTV cameras to allow security managers to view live and recorded events across the site. This includes remote Replacement door entry system for Berkeley Lodge Videx Security was recently chosen to provide a replacement door entry system for Berkeley Lodge, a privately-owned apartment block in Ashtead in Surrey that consists of nine flats. Built in the late 1990s, the existing door entry system at Berkeley Lodge was aging, and the system had poor speech quality and a lot of interference and crackling on the line. Installer Olympic Security Systems advised that repairing monitoring, if security managers are off site. Access is via four IDL Fastlane lobby turnstiles to ensure only permitted persons can access areas beyond the reception and lobby area. Tenants and visitors can only access approved floors via lifts using security credentials on their access card or smartphone. Tenants and staff were set up to use their smartphones to open doors and other smart devices with the HID Mobile Access ‘Twist and Go’ mobile app. The Integriti system can read and check security credentials from users’ mobile phones to determine whether they are allowed access. A BluePoint visitor pass system was also installed and integrated with Integriti to ensure a secure, reliable and trusted method of managing visitors. the existing system would probably not address all the issues and that they therefore recommended that a new door entry solution should be installed using the same infrastructure and wiring. Martin Sturmey, who lives in one of the flats and is responsible for the block’s day-to-day management, said: “After a bit of research, we decided that the best option was to install a new system and reviewed a range of solutions from various manufacturers. We decided to go with the Videx 4000 panel with 3000 series audio handsets. The modular nature of the 4000 series enabled us to have just the nine buttons that we needed. The 3000 series handsets were marginally larger than our existing handsets and therefore could be fitted without any decoration issues. They also allowed each resident to set the call tone volume, a useful feature that we didn’t have with our existing handsets.” Olympic Security Systems supplied, installed and commissioned the new system. As no new wiring needed to be done, the installer simply had to carry out a straight forward system replacement, meaning downtime was minimal. Martin Sturmey added: “The residents really like the new system and have commented on the attractive design of the panel and the handsets as well as the excellent quality of speech.” 48 www.psimagazine.co.uk
Runnymede enhances safety in public spaces The borough of Runnymede is a local government district with over 80,000 residents in the county of Surrey. It is one of the most prosperous parts of the London commuter belt and home to some of the UK’s most expensive real estate. In order to enhance public safety, the borough council contracted service provider Safer Runnymede. Working with Nottinghamshire-based systems integrator Central Security Systems, the experts installed a platform combining public safety technology with personal safety services such as care solutions for the elderly. Today, Safer Runnymede coordinates all connected solutions in a control room in the town of Addlestone, where a staff of three operators monitor security feeds from over 500 security cameras deployed around various boroughs within Surrey. Next to public streets in the area, the system also monitors schools, hospitals and other public buildings. Every year, the team responds to 20,000 incidents from cameras, and the video security system has proven an asset in monitoring traffic, preventing crime, as well as providing evidence and following suspects after incidents. But achieving this level of integration was a challenge. Initially, the video security system consisted of hardware from several different manufacturers including Bosch, which made making updates or replacements a time-consuming process, networked on a Bosch Video Recording Management (VRM) solution. Looking for a future-proof and scalable system built on an integrated software platform, the officials in Runnymede tasked Bosch to design a fully IPbased security camera architecture. Since the Safer Runnymede system already included a Bosch monitor wall plus encoders, cameras, VRM and storage devices, system integrators could leverage the initial investment into a full suite of Bosch solutions. The system now combines new high-resolution Autodome IP District council upgrades sheltered housing systems South Cambridgeshire District Council is upgrading its 1400 sheltered housing properties with new warden call systems connected to Aico mains powered multi-sensor, heat and carbon monoxide (CO) alarms. As the Council was already planning to replace the existing hard wired warden call systems, it took the opportunity to upgrade the smoke and CO alarms at the same time. Aico was also able to offer a bespoke solution to wirelessly connect its alarms to the new warden call systems using its Ei414 fire/CO alarm interface. Eddie Spicer, M & E Surveyor for South Cambridgeshire District Council, says: “The integration ensures that there is one system in each property, reducing costs and maintenance 4000, Autodome IP 7000, MIC IP 7000 moving cameras, and Flexidome IP 7000 fixed cameras, plus older Bosch and third-party analogue cameras paired with encoders, decoders, and DIVAR IP 3000, 5000, 6000, and 7000 recorders. Connecting these solutions via the Bosch Video Management System (BVMS) allowed Runnymede to have a fully IP-based infrastructure. As a result, Safer Runnymede has benefitted from high image quality delivered by the added network video security cameras, without the need of replacing the complete existing analogue video security infrastructure; all in an expandable system at a reduced total cost of ownership. What’s more, the customer has used Bosch solutions in a deployable video surveillance camera at remote locations. Installed in a custom-built enclosure provided by Central Security Systems, it streams video data from an Autodome IP 4000 camera via 4G and sends alerts via SMS to the control room upon detecting activity such as illegal waste dumping. Migrating from a fragmented, analogue system to an integrated IP network managed via BVMS (Bosch Video Management System) has proven a forward-facing decision. “The flexible system design and management has provided an integrated approach to our business delivery, allowing us to make better operational decisions and become more dynamic and competitive in the video surveillance marketplace,” says Les Bygrave at Safer Runnymede. visits. We have two providers of call systems and one of them has expressed great interest in the system we are using as they have not seen it used on their equipment previously.” The Ei414 Interface can also be used to interconnect Aico alarms to sprinkler and Part 1 fire detection systems. The new smoke alarm systems are being installed by the Council to Category LD2, with a heat alarm in the kitchen, a multi-sensor in all circulation spaces and entrance halls and CO alarms in properties that are not fully electric. Properties and tenants that need extended protection from risk will see their alarm systems extended to include additional rooms for added safety. Real time data can also be extracted from each alarm using its sounder directly to a smartphone or tablet via a free App. www.psimagazine.co.uk 49
