Long Range Facial Recognition for Access Control: A Viable Solution
The new frontier for biometric technology is now a reality: long range facial recognition for access control. Historically there was fear about capturing and storing biometric information.

Access Control System Trends: When Access Control Goes Wireless
If wireless solutions are not on your radar for access control installations, it’s time to take notice of this growing trend in physical security. Such solutions let integrators and end users reap the benefits of a wired system, without the cost of a hardwired system. Implementing a wireless solution often takes less time than its traditional hardwired counterpart. When retrofitting older buildings with new access control systems, wireless systems may literally be the only viable option available.
Surveying Trends in the Security Integration Market
It’s evident that the majority of security installations are becoming more and more complex. No longer content to monitor and manage separate access control, fire alarm, video surveillance, intrusion, and HVAC control systems, corporate security and technology managers want to consolidate and integrate various disconnected security and facility management systems. At a dramatically increasing pace, the Information Technology department is leading the initiative, particularly given the trend toward convergence of physical and logical security systems.

Mar 10, 2014 10:04 AM, By Jessaca Gutierrez Pesa Xstream Pesa Xstream IP STREAMING APPLIANCE PESA Xstream multi-path IP streaming appliance simultaneously encodes up to five independent video sources and eight audio sources concurrently from live or recorded video for multi-path H.264 IP distribution over six independent video streams with no sync or latency issues, according to the company. Housed in a compact 1RU form factor, it provides a cost-effective, comprehensive package for digital media capture, processing, distribution, and storage. Upgrades for Q1 2014 include onboard storage as well as a USB 2.0 communications interface. “With its synchronized, high-quality video and audio and a low cost per stream, PESA Xstream has caught the attention of government agencies and a number of other vertical markets,” says John T. Wright, PESA senior vice president, sales and business development. “PESA Xstream is already part of VIQ Infinit, a digital media capture and management platform from VIQ Solutions for court systems, and we are working with developers who are tailoring the user experience for other specific applications.” PESA Xstream captures H.264 IP camera streams, NTSC/PAL, or SDI video up to 1080p resolution, stored video content, and computer-based content such as PowerPoint slides or medical patient vital signs, then prepares high-bandwidth MPEG-4/H.264 broadcast streams for enterprise distribution and archive. When multiple sources are captured simultaneously, the streams remain associated and synchronized during the event. With five individually addressable video outputs, as well as an integrated quad-view output, PESA Xstream allows operators to stream live […]
