Heald’s award-winning Matador sliding bollard range excels<br />
in double crash tests<br />
Heald has announced the success of<br />
two recent crash tests for Matador, the<br />
company’s award-winning sliding<br />
bollard system. The firm – which is<br />
based in Hornsea, East Yorkshire –<br />
designs and manufactures a range of<br />
products and solutions to protect highprofile<br />
buildings and pedestrianised<br />
areas from the ongoing threat of<br />
vehicle-borne attacks.<br />
Heald’s HT3-Matador 4, which had<br />
already been crash-tested to PAS 68 standards, has achieved a new record with<br />
an IWA crash test against a 7.2-tonne N2A specification truck travelling at a<br />
recorded speed of 80 kph (50 mph).<br />
The latest configuration, the HT2-Matador 6, consists of four central moving<br />
bollards and two fixed bollards to accommodate access for large vehicles or<br />
tight turning circles and has succeeded in its PAS 68 crash test, halting a 7.5-<br />
tonne truck travelling at a recorded speed of 64 kph (40 mph).<br />

IDIS introduces DirectIP<br />
Super Fisheye 5 MP Compact<br />
camera as extension to range<br />
IDIS has launched the DirectIP Super<br />
Fisheye 5 MP Compact camera (DC-<br />
Y6513RX), thereby further extending<br />
its popular Super Fisheye range.<br />
Fisheye cameras are some of IDIS’<br />
best-selling models thanks to their<br />
dual-side de-warping and Smart UX<br />
Controls, allowing for smooth and intuitive panning, tracking and zooming with<br />
both ease and accuracy.<br />
The introduction of the DC-Y6513RX reflects IDIS’ continued commitment to<br />
market-responsive innovation and meets installer and end user requests for a<br />
more compact 360° camera that can capture HD images in all lighting<br />
conditions without blind spots. It also allows customers to benefit from heat<br />
mapping without the cost of additional appliances or analytics software.<br />
A broad, high-specification camera available in a compact form, the new<br />
Super Fisheye 5 MP model builds on the success of earlier IDIS Super Fisheye<br />
cameras, including the 12 MP DC-Y3C14WRX. It meets current industry<br />
demands for clear and accurate image capture, long-term performance and<br />
reliability, while also offering end users a low total cost of ownership.<br />
“The Super Fisheye 5 MP Compact camera is a great choice for wide area<br />
surveillance and is already contributing to successful project wins for our<br />
integration partners in retail applications, education, healthcare and other<br />
environments where customers benefit from cost-effective and simple-to-use<br />
analytics,” explained James Min, managing director for IDIS Europe.<br />
The IDIS 5 MP IR Compact Fisheye camera’s features include IDIS Smart UC<br />
Controls to enable very high accuracy and ease-of-use, with intuitive ‘rubber<br />
band’-style control designed to deliver “a new level” of operator experience.<br />
There’s “super smooth de-warping” on the camera as well as on desktop<br />
applications and mobile devices for out-of-hours monitoring for end users.<br />

EmeRed device assists end users<br />
with emergency lighting tests<br />
Vericon Systems – the provider of innovative<br />
building management systems and<br />
technologies – has launched EmeRed, an<br />
intelligent device that automates the<br />
process of testing emergency lighting to<br />
ensure such lighting is working when<br />
needed, in turn helping facilities and on-site<br />
safety managers to comply with relevant<br />
Health and Safety legislation.<br />
The intelligent device “re-imagines” how<br />
new technology can be created to improve<br />
safety, ensure compliance and reduce costs<br />
for the host organisation.<br />
EmeRed monitors the performance of<br />
every light and automatically transmits the<br />
results to a dedicated portal that can be<br />
accessed online via the cloud.<br />
