UK CCTV Commissioner Hosts Conference On Regulation
By Tom Reeve on October 31, 2013 Andrew Rennison, the Surveillance Camera Commissioner, addresses the audience at his first conference on the code of practice Around 120 delegates attended the Surveillance Camera Commissioner’s conference in London last week to hear about and discuss the latest developments around the commissioner’s new code of practice. The event was held at the Royal Society in central London and was opened by the commissioner Andrew Rennison who, after introducing the day’s speakers, called for delegates to help promote the Surveillance Camera Code of Practice to the CCTV industry. Borrowing a word from Lord Taylor of Holbeach, the Parliamentary Under Secretary of State for Criminal Information at the Home Office, Rennison asked people to go forth and “evangelise” the code. He said it was an approach that had worked during his six years as the Forensic Science Regulator, and it was on the back of this success that the Home Office had asked him to become the interim CCTV regulator (later to become the surveillance camera commissioner). Evangelising the code is necessary because, of course, the code is not mandatory and, as it only applies to systems owned by local authorities and the police, covers less than five per cent of CCTV systems in England and Wales. Andrew Rennison, Surveillance Camera Commissioner And while relevant authorities have been told they must have regard to the 12 guiding principles of the code, there are no penalties for failing to observe it. Compliance is entirely voluntary […]

Bozeman Yellowstone Int’l Airport Upgrades Its Surveillance System
Boseman Yellowstone International Airport Bozeman Yellowstone International Airport is the only airport serving as a year-round getaway for two Yellowstone National Park entrances. Established in 1941, the Bozeman Yellowstone International Airport provides, operates and safely maintains an aviation facility to service the needs of the flying public in Montana. The 2,481-acre airport enplanes nearly 400,000 passengers per year and more than 73,000 aircraft operations. Last year, Bozeman Yellowstone International Airport expanded its terminal area by adding 125,000 square feet of space, including three additional gates, a new baggage claim carrousel, expanded food and beverage and gift concessions area. With the additional space and increase in air travel from the airport, Bozeman Yellowstone International Airport decided to upgrade its aging surveillance system. Bozeman previously had two DVRs and numerous analog cameras that only covered the old terminal area. The outdated analog system did not provide the coverage needed or high enough resolution images to clearly identify incidents. To create a new surveillance solution, Bozeman worked with Video & Sound Service Inc. to replace all of the analog cameras with new IP cameras, review various access control systems and video management systems (VMS) and select a reliable solution that would be easy to operate. Video & Sound Service installed the exacqVision Enterprise VMS, integrated with an RS2 Technologies access control system. The exacqVision software solution, combined with 135 Axis 3.1 megapixel IP cameras proved to be the most efficient surveillance solution. exacqVision was chosen for its extreme ease of use, flexibility […]

[September 13, 2013] Randon Group selects IndigoVision to provide IP video security solution Sep 13, 2013 (MarketLine via COMTEX) — IndigoVision Group plc, a manufacturer of IP video security solutions, has announced that Randon Group, a Brazilian transport manufacturer, has selected IndigoVision to provide an IP video security solution for its assembly plant in Guaralhos, with plans for future expansion to all locations. The security project requirements were reducing theft, providing real time monitoring from multiple, remote security workstations and increasing operational efficiency. The project also required reusing existing security camera hardware as well as offering the latest IP camera technology with the ability to scale to meet future expansion requirements. The final goal is for all Randon locations worldwide to be monitored from a single security solution. Using IndigoVision’s video security solution, existing cameras were converted through IndigoVision’s IP encoder hardware, delivering benefits including dramatically improved recording quality. IndigoVision’s world-class video compression technology meant that video from existing cameras could be easily streamed to remote sites, which was impossible with the existing security system. In addition to using IndigoVision’s IP encoder hardware, IndigoVision’s IP cameras have been installed providing additional benefits that analogue cameras could not deliver, such as higher image resolution. All video from the IP encoders and cameras is stored on multiple IndigoVision Network Video Recorders (NVRs), with total system management provided by IndigoVision’s Control Center software user interface. Having deployed IndigoVision’s solution, it is now possible for operators to monitor live video and playback recorded […]

Grundig Monitors Europe?s Largest Disaster Response Exercise
By Andy Ball on September 9, 2013 The largest disaster response exercise ever undertaken in Europe, codenamed Operation Taranis, recently took place in Salzburg, Austria. The premise of the exercise was that severe storms and rain in Salzburg and its surrounding area had caused landslides, buildings to collapse and flooding. This had also led to a number of train and boat disasters. In addition, there was a plane crash at the airport and chemical leaks at two nearby towns. National emergency response vehicles were deployed for many weeks. The Austrian Minister for the Interior and the Salzburg authorities then decided to deploy additional support from the international EU civil protection response system. In total, 900 emergency response units from seven different countries attended 22 different, hypothetical emergency incidents, over 3 days. The company responsible for Operation Taranis and its organization was Excon. They appointed LaBoe Security OG to provide remote viewing, transmission and monitoring of all the incidents and the responses. Despite the huge scale of the operation, each of the 22 incidents was monitored in real-time. Full HD, IP cameras from Grundig provided the images and VMS software from Alnet Systems provided control. The cameras were mounted on hydraulic, telescopic masts and powered by batteries. Their HD images were transmitted using wireless IP technology, by fibre optic network or by a 3G mobile network. A walk-in observation room contained many Grundig Full HD monitors along with three video walls. Each incident was also remotely monitored by the EU […]

Pasco County Sheriff's Office Selects PlateSmart Technologies for Mobile License Plate Recognition
OLDSMAR, Fla. , Sept. 10, 2013 /PRNewswire/ — The Pasco County Florida Sheriff’s Office (PSO) has selected PlateSmart Technologies’ Mobile License Plate Recognition (LPR) software as its latest tool in the fight against crime. The software, developed by Florida -based PlateSmart Technologies, represents the latest and most promising innovation in law enforcement technology. (Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130910/FL77070LOGO) The PSO purchased the PlateSmart products with funds provided by the Pasco Alliance for Substance Abuse Prevention (ASAP). The initial deployment of PlateSmart software by the Pasco Sheriff’s Office will consist of five patrol units equipped with LPR and a mobile unit. The total cost was $64,365.98 . In the past, law enforcement agencies were typically only able to deploy one or at most two units at a time due to the enormously high costs associated with the LPR technology then available. PlateSmart’s flexibility plus the inherently affordable price point of the software translate to significant cost savings over competing technology. PlateSmart’s Mobile LPR solution is compatible with any Windows PC and a wide range of video surveillance cameras, including low-cost off-the-shelf units. This is a significant departure from its competitors, which require the purchase of specialized cameras and processing hardware as part of a package in order to function. “This product allows one deputy to do the work that it would take several deputies to accomplish,” said Sgt. Art Rowand of the Pasco Sheriff’s Office Selective Traffic Enforcement Patrol Unit. “And now our deputies can get better results safer and faster.” In addition […]
