Arecont Vision Guards The Hub Cargo Facilty In Hong Kong
Tecnologie e Servizi // Case Condividi As one of the world’s largest express delivery companies, TNT Express moves 4.7 million parcels, documents and pieces of freight every week to more than 200 countries. TNT Express operates air and road transportation networks in Europe, China, South America, the Asia-Pacific and the Middle East. To more efficiently manage shipping operations in the Asia-Pacific area, TNT Express Worldwide (HK) Ltd. in Hong Kong opened a new 70,000-square-foot hub facility. TNT Express Worldwide needed a surveillance system to heighten security efforts at its new hub facility in Hong Kong. When reviewing video surveillance alternatives, the company prioritized high resolution and superior image quality for identification and incident detection. TNT Express also favored using fewer cameras for greater system efficiency, and had the need to include remote monitoring / camera setting management capabilities. The project ADT Security designed an IP-based networked surveillance system and performed the installation for TNT Express as part of new construction. According to Tyn van Amelsfoort, regional security support manager at TNT Express Worldwide (HK) Ltd., TNT Express had evaluated several megapixel cameras related to another project with ADT Security, enabling a quick decision to go with Arecont Vision for the new facility. Willie Hong, Senior Sales Engineer of ADT Hong Kong Limited, said TNT Express chose Arecont Vision megapixel IP cameras for their outstanding resolution and as a means to “future-proof” the system for future expansion. Arecont Vision’s 5-megapixel (MP) AV5115DN MegaVideo® Compact cameras are installed at high […]

Brickcom IP Looks After Iranian Hospital In Dubai
15-01-2014 The new Iranian Hospital in Dubai has deployed an IP network video surveillance system with 42 Brickcom FB-300Np IP cameras and 30 Brickcom OB-300Np IP cameras. In order to provide better health services for patients of around 150 different nationalities, the new Iranian Hospital – Dubai, a state-of-the-art and full-service hospital, was opened in 2013 on the Al Wasl Street. As part of the commitment to providing best in class service, the hospital management at the Iranian hospital wanted a video surveillance system that could help them to monitor not only their patients, visitors and employees, but also the facilities and equipment in the hospital campus, 24 hours a day and 7 days a week.

Face Detection And Recognition By Airlive IVS
15-01-2014 Airlive, one of the most advanced international IP Surveillance Networking products and solutions provider, has just introduced its latest new cameras with an IVS face detection and recognition functionality – the MD-3025-IVS and the BU-3026-IVS, and announced its participation at Intersec Dubai 2014. Intelligent video surveillance (IVS) face detection and recognition is designed to provide advanced, accurate video analytics that can be used to search, track, classify, and identify faces of people within the monitored area. This IVS function automatically detects and captures a person’s face and compares it to an image recorded in a specific database. It can alert the operator when a face is detected in the frame of the image. This new function provides an additional security shield at the entrance to a buiding to prevent unauthorised entry, to protect residents, and also allows for the creation of a database of, employees and other people for example. A camera with this IVS function, if located at the entrance to a building, can maintain a record of all those who pass through the area and save their faces into a database. If a face is detected that is not stored to the database – then the appropriate information will be displayed. These IVS-featured IP cameras provide many benefits in application. For example, a traditional access control system allows for the entry of an unauthorised person with an authorised card, whilst on the other hand an IVS authentication system compares the card holder and his face with the image already stored in the database. For example, a passenger crossing through border control could have his face from the live video compared with […]

The Resolution Revolution
jan14-feature2 Timothy Compston takes a closer look at the impact that HD and megapixel video surveillance cameras are having in the fast expanding IP environment. Fit-for-purpose? Discussing the take-up of megapixel cameras, Joel White, senior product manager at American Dynamics – part of Tyco Security Products – reveals that currently the bulk of installed cameras are in the 2 megapixel range. White stresses that even with the prospect of enhanced resolution coming on stream, in the guise of 8 megapixel cameras, everything still has to lead back to a solution’s ultimate goal: "When you think about it video surveillance solutions are really targeting a specific purpose, every camera in that system is delivering video to meet that goal and resolution is only one part of that equation." Ultimately, White believes, that it comes down to the actual ‘use case’: "What is my deployment situation? What do I need to extract out of the video?" White goes on to say that across the security industry, sadly, there still remains an obsession with ‘big numbers’ and ‘nice specs’: "This provides more business and people kind of get glazed over and think that bigger is better, which is not always the case. For everything there is a trade-off." He warns, for instance, that although there are many high resolution cameras out there offering 3, 5 or even higher megapixels very few, in his experience, come with high quality lenses rated above 3 megapixels. With larger camera resolutions White also flags up the […]

Differentiating CCD And CMOS Image Sensors
Source: Alf Chang | Date: 12/25/2013 Related tags: Cmos , CCD , CompoSec A core component of security cameras, CCD and CMOS image sensors have in the last few years parted ways in terms of applications and characteristics, sensitivity, noise reduction and energy consumption. At the same number of pixels, CCD sensors have outperformed CMOS sensors in sensitivity; CCD sensors also take in more light than CMOS sensors of the same size. In real-world applications, however, CMOS sensors deliver the same level of performance as their CCD counterparts in low-light cameras. This makes CMOS sensors the preferred image sensor for HD cameras. What to Look for in a CMOS Sensor In theory, CCD sensors allow a higher resolution than CMOS sensors of the same size. In practice, image sensor suppliers overcome this simply by making larger image sensors since security cameras do not have space constraints. Major image sensor suppliers for the security market like Aptina, Omnivision, Sony and Sharp, use this advantage to continue to enhance the performance of CMOS image sensors. Currently, most HD cameras on the market use 1/1.8”, 1/2.5”, 1/2.7” or 1/2.8” image sensors. By testing IP megapixel cameras on the market, it is possible to find a CMOS sensor that is practical in both price and performance.
