Hikvision Introduces New Flexible And Discreet Miniature IP-Camera Series
By Andy Ball on March 11, 2014 Hikvision is proud to introduce its series of miniature-sized IP cameras; the DS-2CD64 series. This new mini series provides both flexibility and ease of installation – especially in areas of very limited space – and makes it ideal for discreet surveillance applications (such as ATMs, access control, and upscale retail locations, among others). As the overall HD IP surveillance market continues to boom, IP adoption in vertical markets has taken on even more importance by seeking out products that meet the specialized requirements for every vertical market. Hikvision’s DS-2CD64 series covert camera is designed with this vertical market concept in mind. “This series is comprised of a palm-sized main unit and thumb-sized lens unit. This small size allows the camera to easily blend into a variety of environments where space may be an issue, or where an intrusive-looking conventional camera adversely affects the desired environment of the location. Furthermore, beside its small size, this camera packs a bevy of additional features,” explained Adler Wu, Product Marketing Manager at Hikvision. The DS-2CD64 series An Abundance of In-House Features Hikvision’s DS-2CD64 series is the first of its type to incorporate true 120dB WDR, as well as other powerful image processing functionalities like 3D DNR and BLC. Features such as these allow the DS-2CD64 to capture crystal-clear HD (1280×960) images under any lighting conditions. When in a vertically-shaped environment, such as a corridor or hallway, this camera adjusts to “Rotate Mode” to deliver better vertically-oriented […]

London Councillor Renews Campaign For More Old East Cameras
Metro file A London councillor is renewing his campaign to have security cameras added to streets in Old East Village. Security cameras are still the solution to Old East’s problems, its local councillor says. And Stephen Orser, who represents Ward 4, says he has proof that electronic eyes bring results. This week, a $200 fine was slapped on a defendant at the London courthouse after the admitted dumping of garbage in Old East. It follows another successful result two weeks ago, when a different offender pleaded guilty and was fined $350. Both criminal cases follow dumping problems in the parking lot between Dundas Street and Queens Avenue. It’s that much-discussed area between Adelaide and Rectory that’s the focus of complaints about anti-social behaviour, drugs, and other crime. In each cases, the offender was caught on camera. A public appeal was put out via news media and social media, and the people ditching their garbage in the city parking lot found themselves in court. “The surveillance cameras that staff have put up are working,” said Orser. “Two convictions are evidence of that. “With that being said, the ongoing dumping problem is going to come to an end in wider streets. “The free ride is over in Old East Village.” Orser’s involved in the Old East Neighbourhood Safety Task Force, which has more than 50 members with connections to the area. They’re discussing ways to make lives better in the village and having a series of meetings during the first half of […]

Morpho Launches Secure, Multifunction Biometric Tablet
(NEW YORK) — Joaquin Guzman, better known by the nickname "El Chapo," didn’t get to be one of the world’s most notorious and elusive drug lords without knowing a thing or two about how to cover his tracks. According to senior law enforcement officials, Guzman used some of the latest counter-surveillance gadgets to keep out of sight. Though El Chapo might have been able to be harder to find if he went completely off the grid, Todd Morris, the founder of Brickhouse Security, said that wasn’t a likely option. "You could go to the most extreme case and live a cave with messengers coming and going, but then what’s the point [of being a drug lord]?" he told ABC News. "Typically, the goal [of a drug dealer] is to maximize invisibility without minimizing the joy of the billions of dollars you have." Top-notch security means more than just a thorough pat-down for every visitor and a handful of security cameras looking over the premises. Here’s a couple of the gadgets that Guzman may have used to keep out of sight from the law: Spectrum Analyzer Chances are that Guzman wasn’t trusting a Wi-Fi password to keep his cyber activity hidden. "There’s no way you could make that secure, so more likely, all of his computers were Ethernet connected," Morris said, referring to the hard-wired connection to the Internet. But in the case that someone planted a bug to turn the computer into a surveillance device, Guzman could buy a […]

In New Jersey, A Call For More Video Surveillance At Atlantic City Casinos
Long view of the Maryland Live Casino poker room. Facial images have been blurred by the casino to protect player identities. (Courtesy photo.) Long view of the Maryland Live poker room, via one of the casino’s pan-tilt-zoom surveillance cameras. Faces in the screencap have been blurred by casino officials to protect player identities. (Courtesy photo.) In my story on the front page of Sunday’s print edition about the surveillance operation at Maryland Live Casino , I mentioned that Rob Norton, the property’s president and general manager, asked me at one point if I’d ever seen “Casino.” He was specifically referring to the scene where Robert De Niro — who plays Tangiers boss Ace Rothstein – explains the way things work in the gambling world: In Vegas, everybody’s gotta watch everybody else. Since the players are looking to beat the casino, the dealers are watching the players. The box men are watching the dealers. The floor men are watching the box men. The pit bosses are watching the floor men. The shift bosses are watching the pit bosses. The casino manager is watching the shift bosses. I’m watching the casino manager. And the eye in the sky is watching us all. “You can quote from that,” Norton told me. “It’s still pretty accurate.” But the notion that every casino is watching (or at least recording) everybody, at all times, isn’t exactly true. Consider what’s happening in New Jersey, where one lawmaker has proposed legislation that would require Atlantic City casinos to put surveillance […]

3M Cogent Biometric Fingerprint Technology Integrated Into Entrust IdentityGuard
February 24, 2014 – by Peter B. Counter As is often said, the key to biometric adoption lies in a delicate balance between a promised increase of security and a decrease in the friction users experience when interacting with it. Essentially: next generation authentication is in high demand, but its biggest obstacle in adoption lies in how easy it is to deploy and use. Today a new collaboration was announced between Entrust and 3M Cogent , leveraging that latter’s fingerprint biometric technology as logical access control solution for workstations via the former’s IdentityGuard software authentication platform. It’s a combination that stands to provide customers looking for a strong biometric access control solution for their organization with FBI trusted authentication (the solution satisfies CJIS requirements necessary for law enforcement deployment) that is proven to be convenient. Entrust President David Wagner explains why the companies are well suited as partners, saying, “Entrust and 3M share the same standards and vision for authenticating identities. Integrating proven 3M biometric authentication is another step in the platform’s evolution — a stride that continues our focus on properly protecting customer identities.” Both new and existing IdentityGuard customers will be able to benefit from the biometric boost to security. This allows for streamlined and strong logical access control for cloud and internal systems. Teresa Wu, who manages 3M Cogent’s global biometric portfolio expands on the collaboration: “Entrust and 3M have complementary offerings in the identity management marketplace — from digital certificate management to identity document […]

Boulder Police Secretly Install Surveillance Cameras On Municipal Campus Between City Hall, Library
BOULDER, Colo. – Some Boulder residents are questioning their police department’s decision to install surveillance cameras in the park area between city hall and the public library, without letting the public know. The city quietly placed two cameras on the municipal building and one on the library in early January. When asked about the secrecy, Boulder Police Department spokeswoman Kim Kobel said, "The reason those cameras were installed is because we have an ongoing criminal investigation in the area." Kobel gave few details about the investigation, but did say police have received numerous complaints about criminal behavior, including assault, threatening behavior, urinating in public and drug dealing. "In some cases, we have drug dealing to high school students," she said. The cameras have touched a raw nerve with some residents, especially those who hang out in the public space. "They’re violating our rights and our freedom," said Bailey Flood. When asked if it would have made a difference if the city had been upfront about the cameras, Flood replied, "No, it’s an invasion of privacy." Not everyone looks at it that way. "They’re fine," said Jeff Swann, who admits that he drinks regularly while sitting on a park bench in front of City Hall. "Cameras are a part of life." Swann says he’s observed a lot of criminal behavior in the park. "There was a big fight here two or three days ago," he said. "It was a real live brawl. It lasted five minutes. Both guys were […]

Burgs, a nine year veteran of the Pembroke Pines Police Department, has been placed on suspension with pay pending the outcome of an internal investigation. Police were called to the store Wednesday morning after a couple of cat burglars broke into the store overnight and got away with $75-thousand worth of jewelry. The two burglars got into the store by cutting a hole in the roof. Once inside, they smashed the glass cases and grabbed the high-priced goods. A roofer who patched the hole said this was not a haphazard job. ”They had to bring a battery powered saw up there. They knew there was going to be corrugated metal, they knew how to cut it, like they cut it perfectly square,” explained roofer William Natale. Police said the crooks were dressed in all black and wore masks. In surveillance […]
