3xLOGIC Adds Single Sensor Deployment Option for Gunshot Detection
3xLOGIC announced a new range of deployment options for users seeking to protect smaller areas in active shooter situations with the new Single Sensor Gunshot Detection solution. 3xLOGIC’s Gunshot Detection devices use patented concussive wave technology to detect the moment at which a gun is fired, and the bullet leaves the chamber. Upon firing, the force of the bullet leaving the chamber creates a concussive wave within a defined frequency range.
Himax, emza, And CEVA Partner To Create Ultra-Low Power, Always-On Vision Sensor For IoT
CEVA, Inc. (NASDAQ: CEVA), the leading licensor of signal processing IP for smarter, connected devices, together with Himax Imaging, Inc., a subsidiary of Himax Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: HIMX) and emza Visual Sense, announced that the companies have developed the industry’s first intelligent always- on visual sensor specifically designed to overcome the power- and cost -constraints of vision processing for IoT applications. The companies will showcase the WiseEye IoT sensor at the upcoming Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2017, January 5-8, 2017 in Las Vegas.
Smiths Detection Extends IONSCAN 600 Capability To Detect Narcotics
The portable desktop IONSCAN 600 will be able to detect a range of narcotics such as amphetamine, cocaine, heroin, ketamine, MDA, MDMA, and others. This capability will be important to front-line organizations including customs authorities, prisons and other secure facilities, which have a growing requirement to detect and identify illegal narcotics and other controlled substances.

Intelligent Buildings: Why Integrate Fire Safety and Security?
Against the backdrop of today’s challenges, we have to protect vital assets. Starting at the perimeter, use of CCTV and automatic number plate recognition (ANPR/LPR) technologies are now widespread. The restriction of physical access and perimeter protection are alternative ways of deterring unauthorized intrusion.
Southwest Microwave’s Remote Polling Module II SDK Simplifies INTREPID High Level Interface
Southwest Microwave has expanded the Software Development Kit (SDK) options for its INTREPID™ Series II perimeter intrusion detection systems (PIDS) with the addition of the Remote Polling Module II (RPM II) SDK. The RPM II package, consisting of an IP-based application layer protocol and accompanying system control hardware module, provides simplified high-level interface between third-party physical security information management (PSIM) or surveillance systems and INTREPID detection technologies.
Retrieving Sound From Vibrations Captured on Video
Researchers at MIT, Microsoft, and Adobe have developed an algorithm that can reconstruct an audio signal by analyzing minute vibrations of objects depicted in video. In one set of experiments, they were able to recover intelligible speech from the vibrations of a potato-chip bag photographed from 15 feet away through soundproof glass. In other experiments, they extracted useful audio signals from videos of aluminum foil, the surface of a glass of water, and even the leaves of a potted plant.
First Security 4K Varifocal Lens By Fujinon
The new Fujinon DV2.2×4.1SR4A for security cameras from Fujifilm Europe will be playing centre stage for the company at this years´ Security Essen expo in September. This is the first Fujinon varifocal lens that offers advanced optical performance for compatibility with 6-megapixel (4K) high resolution security cameras. The advancement of digital technology has led to […]
Differences In CCD And CMOS Video Image Sensors
One can only assume that the popularity of CMOS is mainly because they are more prevalent in security IP-cameras. The difference between CMOS and CCD chips is the CMOS outputs its information in digital format and requires less power to operate. These features will play heavily in the design of IP-cameras. As for the imaging […]
