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 />
