Access Control Sees Continued Push Towards Mobile Capabilities

Access Control Mobile

Much of the buzz around access control in recent years has centered on the potential held by near field communications-enabled devices, which many people have pegged as the credential of the future. The reason for the excitement around NFC is well-founded as the majority of smartphones already have NFC functionality built into them. And while the viability of the technology has been proven in numerous case studies, widespread adoption has yet to take place. However, manufacturers are continuing to focus much of their efforts on developing products with mobility in mind. Innovation is also continuing to take place at the enterprise-level with advancements in access control management software. Just as video side of the industry has been focused on the migration to IP, access control companies are also looking into how they can make their products more interoperable with the network and with other security devices. There has also been steady demand for managed and hosted access solutions as organizations look to reduce their security infrastructure costs. SIW spoke with several industry experts at this week’s ASIS show in Chicago, to get their take on these and other trends that are currently taking place in the market. SIW: What do you feel are the biggest trends taking place in access control? Peter Boriskin, director of product management, electronic access control, Assa Abloy : The biggest game changer is mobile. We see mobile everywhere, from mobile devices for mobile guard stations to mobile credentials. Security officers are using the corporate […]

Innovation In Video Surveillance Tech At A Crossroads: Part 2

Posted by dtaitano 9:16 am Categories: Technologies. Tags: , , , , , , , .

Editor’s note: This is part two in a two-part series on video surveillance trends from the perspective of several industry experts. Part one examines overall industry trends, the continued migration to IP and how companies are continuing to provide support to the large existing base of analog device users. Part two delves into the progression of high-resolution imaging technology, developments at the edge and the future of video recording. Over the past several years, it seems as though there has been an arms race within the video surveillance industry when it comes to high-resolution cameras. Just a few years ago, only a handful of vendors offered cameras with high-megapixel imaging capabilities. Now HD resolution is the norm and some companies offer cameras that provide users with as much as 40 megapixels of resolution. There have also been great advancements over the last several years at the edge. Functions such as storage and analytics that could once only be performed on the server side are now being done within the cameras themselves. Has the market settled on a sweet spot for image resolution? What kind of impact will advancements in edge capabilities and onboard storage have on camera R&D over the next several years? Here’s what several experts had to say at the ASIS show this week in Chicago. SIW: Has the industry settled on how much resolution is needed for given applications or are we going to continue to see higher and higher megapixels in the years to come? […]

Innovation In Video Surveillance Tech At A Crossroads: Part 1

Posted by dtaitano 9:13 am Categories: Technologies. Tags: , , , , , , , .

Editor’s note: This is part one in a two-part series on video surveillance trends from the perspective of several industry experts. Part one examines overall industry trends, the continued migration to IP and how companies are continuing to provide support to the large existing base of analog device users. Part two will delve into the progression of high-resolution imaging technology, developments at the edge and the future of video recording. Over the past decade, there has been a seismic shift in the evolution of video surveillance. What was once a relatively simple configuration of coaxial cable running from cameras to closed circuit television monitors and VCRs has been revolutionized by network connectivity and ever-increasing image processing power. The result has been the transformation of what once considered a “dumb” security sensor into an “intelligent” device that provides security managers with actionable data they can use to mitigate risks and more thoroughly investigate incidents after the fact. This is embodied in the multitude of video analytic capabilities offered by today’s video products at both the software and hardware levels. It can also be seen in the wide variety of high-resolution cameras that are currently available in the marketplace. Despite these technological advances and the tipping point for IP video equipment sales (at least in terms of revenues) being close at hand , the fact remains that analog still makes up the majority of camera installations and will remain a large part of the market for the foreseeable future. With that […]

AxxonSoft Releases Version 3.1.1 Of The Next Generation Axxon Next VMS

Posted by dtaitano 9:04 am Categories: New Products, VMS Software. Tags: , , .

Each function is the responsibility of a different micromodule; a dispatcher module monitors the functioning of the micromodules. If a function encounters an error and a process is quit unexpectedly, the dispatcher module automatically relaunches the corresponding micromodule. This does not affect the performance of other processes or the functioning of the VMS overall. After a micromodule is initially written, its code undergoes automated functional testing, substantially reducing the likelihood of errors in the code. This micromodule architecture allows for a VMS that is more stable than anything else on the market. AxxonSoft CCTV software View all: CCTV software

bogota hospital

Dramatic security camera footage from Bogota, Colombia captured a group of gunmen, wearing face masks and trench coats, storming a hospital on September 18. The purpose of the attack, which looks a lot like a scene from a Hollywood film, was to free a prisoner who was being treated inside, local media reported. The assailants liberated Alexander Urrego, a man convicted in 2011 of involvement in a gang killing. According to Colombian daily La Opinion, four men have so far been captured in connection with Wednesday’s escapade, but Urrego is not among them. There is is 30 million peso ($15,900) reward being offered for information leading to his re-arrest. Video by NTD Television.

Whittier College: New Surveillance Cameras Come To Residence Halls

WhittierCollege

Manuel Escalante STAFF WRITER Dana Christenson/Quaker Campus New cameras installed outside of Harris and Ball dorms by Campus Safety. In an effort to expand the surveillance system, Campus Safety began adding new cameras to the existing surveillance system around the campus. Newer security cameras have recently been installed to increase coverage around Ball and Johnson Hall. “The cameras have been around campus for a while,” Assistant Director Jose Padilla said, “We are looking to expand over the next five years.” Most of the cameras covering the halls are placed outside. They are aimed at the entrances to monitor who is going in and out of the halls. Of the new cameras in Ball, one is placed inside the lounge area facing the main entrance. The second camera is causing a bit of controversy because it is placed inside the hallway, nearby female dorm rooms. The camera is small and covered, thus it prevents anyone from seeing where the camera is pointing. This caused many students to react in suspicion. “I feel like any cameras in the hallways are an invasion of privacy,” first-year Zahra Jabalameli said, “Girls walk around in towels and sports bras and don’t want to be on camera.” This is the main concern many students express about any cameras inside the hallways. The area between the rooms and the bathrooms feels like a part of their home, and some students will act or dress in ways they probably would not if there was a camera watching […]
