OPTEX will be demonstrating at ASIS 2013 an advanced security solution that gives end users unprecedented capabilities in tracking and responding to intruders through tight integration of OPTEX’s Redscan laser detector, Milestone XProtect video management software, and RedHawk software from The Hawkeye Effect. The integrated solution not only allows precise auto PTZ tracking and response, but also provides a mapping capability that tracks objects in real time. “Integration is a key to achieving the best security,” says Mac Kokobo CEO at OPTEX. “Each company brings specific expertise and industry leadership to security applications. But the real power is seen when you combine and integrate the various capabilities into a single solution. Thanks to our Redscan laser detector, Milestone’s open platform, the IP video cameras, and The HawkEye Effect geo-spatial mapping together bring unmatched levels of intruder detection, tracking, and response.” The Redscan laser detector can be seamlessly integrated into the Milestone XProtect VMS, including defined zones and events codes, so that PTZ cameras can be triggered to view the intrusion. Other responses, such as alarms, access control lockdowns, or security lighting, can be defined on a zone-by-zone basis. “The Milestone Integration Platform (MIP) architecture enables this combined solution with OPTEX and The Hawkeye Effect, providing unique new tools for taking action. We value the strong partnership between us to deliver innovative technology to customers in the security industry,” says Reinier Tuinzuing, Strategic Alliance Manager, Americas, for Milestone Systems. By adding RedHawk geo-spatial software from The Hawkeye Effect, users achieve […]

Embracing The Police Force Of The Future

Police patrol car

(CNN) – Contrary to the Hollywood image in movies like “Minority Report,” technology hasn’t served law enforcement particularly well over the years. Fragmented and complex operating systems have challenged police officers to manually enter information into multiple programs. And yet officers still struggle to retrieve the information they need — especially in the field, where it can be a matter of life or death. A large number of law enforcement agencies are still hindered by antiquated technologies. But agencies that have upgraded their operating and investigative systems have been tremendously effective in ensuring the safety of their citizens. Police forces like the Guardia Civil in Spain and An Garda Siochana in Ireland were early technology adopters and now benefit from some of the most efficient police operations and investigative systems in the world. These are the police forces of the future — the ones that others will be modeling themselves after in the years to come. Accenture recently studied police forces from around the world and found that in every region, police are hungry for new technology. They see tech such as analytics, biometrics (identification of humans by their characteristics or traits) and facial recognition as keys to effectively fighting crime and maximizing the time officers spend in the field. Despite the reality of reduced budgets, law enforcement agencies that adopt new technologies can prevent crimes more effectively and solve crimes faster. Video analytics What many people don’t know is that there’s a solid infrastructure of closed-circuit TV in […]

Navy Yard Shooting: US To Review Security At All Military Installations (+video)

Posted by dtaitano 11:08 am Categories: Access Control, Military. Tags: , , , , .

Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel is planning to order a review of physical security and access to all US military installations worldwide, a senior Pentagon official said Tuesday, one day after a Navy reservist with a troubled history killed 12 people at the Washington Navy Yard . Skip to next paragraph Secretary Hagel spent much of the day on Tuesday collecting input from senior officials to define the parameters of the review, which could be formally announced as soon as Wednesday, according to the official. Word of the impending review follows news that a previously unreleased Department of Defense Inspector General (DOD IG) report detailed “critical flaws” in base security at Navy installations, including the practice of contracting out base guard duty to nongovernmental personnel. The DOD IG report, dated for release on Sept. 16, the date of the Navy Yard attack, cites instances in which “52 convicted felons received routine, unauthorized installation access, placing military personnel, dependents, civilians, and installations at an increased security risk.”  This was the result of efforts on the part of Navy officials “to reduce access control costs,” according to the inspector general report. The report leveled another critique as well ­– that the commander, Navy Installations Command was “non-responsive” regarding the recommendations of the Pentagon inspector general. These revelations about the DOD IG investigation in turn prompted calls for change. In the wake of the Navy Yard attacks, “I am highly concerned that the access control systems at our nation’s military installations have serious […]
