New Generation 960H Cams: Looks Better, Works Better, And Less Noisy

Posted by dtaitano 9:29 am Categories: IP Cameras, Technologies. Tags: , , , .

Source: Alf Chang | Date: 12/11/2013 Related tags: 960H solution , Cameras , SONY , Next Chip , R&D When the first 960H cameras were introduced, problems with displays and DVR decoders led critics to dismiss the technology as a fad. However, with chipmakers like Sony and Nextchip investing heavily in R&D, as well as hard work from China, Korea and Taiwan manufacturers, 960H has improved significantly. In contrast to the D1(720×480@30fps) resolution of older analog signals, the new batch of 960H products not only improve on image quality, they also feature WDR, higher SNR and better color reproduction. Three Major Leaps The new generation of 960H products improves in three areas: digital noise reduction, wide dynamic range and color reproduction. Digital Noise Reduction The new DSPs provide higher performance, allowing camera manufacturers to develop cameras that produce resolutions higher than 700TVL. Furthermore, the new processors enable more effective digital noise reduction through 2D and 3D noise processing, raising the SNR higher than 52dB. Wide Dynamic Range Newer 960H cameras also feature better WDR performance. Cameras powered by Sony’s Effio-V can capture clear images even in environments with high-contrast lighting or backlight situations. The new 960H cameras’ better backlight compensation and effective exposure result in better WDR performance with or without image enhancements. Color Reproduction Color reproduction is a strong advantage for 960H cameras. Sony, Pixelplus and Nextchip introduced DSPs that improve image sensors’ color performance and reproduction even further. To see the latest advancements in 960H video surveillance […]

The attractively priced HDTV 1080p PTZ dome with 18x optical zoom also has a direct drive pan/tilt system for unsurpassed mechanical endurance. The camera is ideal for use in city and perimeter surveillance, parking houses and school yards. AXIS P5415-E is a wall-mounted, direct drive HDTV 1080p PTZ dome network camera that blends in with the environment. Axis Communications, the world leader in network video, today launched its second camera in the AXIS P54 Series comprising PTZ cameras that mount directly on a wall without a mounting arm. Departing from the traditional wall mount, AXIS P5415-E’s design, which incorporates a wall bracket, allows the camera to be at one with the building.

http://www.bunkerseguridad.es/en/02_industrial_towers.html Source: Avigilon | Date: 12/04/2013 Related tags: Avigilon , NVR , surveillance cameras Profile Known for their signature Orange Crushes and expansive seafood menu, Mama’s on the Half Shell is the crown jewel of the Canton Square neighborhood in Baltimore, Maryland. Many locals venture to the establishment for a variety of occasions, whether it’s watching Baltimore Ravens games, celebrating a birthday or sticking around for late night drinks with friends. Just a few doors down stands two other restaurants in the Mama’s family: Nacho Mamas, a Mexican-themed restaurant, and The Pizza and Wing Factory, which is attached to Nacho Mamas and a popular takeout spot. Despite being open for nearly a decade, prior to deploying Avigilon Mama’s on the Half Shell had not implemented a video surveillance system, leaving the restaurant in a vulnerable state from a security standpoint. The restaurant’s ownership approached Unilux, the Maryland-based video surveillance distributor to help design an HD surveillance system for the three restaurants. The company recommended the Avigilon high-definition surveillance solution because of the unparalleled image quality the system provided, the ease-of-use of the ACC software and the efficient storage solutions. The Avigilon system was soon installed in all three restaurants. Challenge Deploy an elite high-definition video surveillance system that will minimize theft, monitor customer activity and ensure the safety of all patrons and employees for a trio of popular Baltimore-area restaurants. Solution As first-time surveillance system users, the owners of Mama’s on the Half Shell installed 14 Avigilon 1 MP […]

PSIM Certified CPR Dummy Home Security Systems

CPR Dummy Security System

CPR Dummy Security System I just read a story about a man from Detroit that uses CPR manikins as part of his home security.  He’s dressed them up in clothing and placed them by windows and doorways.  And so far, it seems to have worked.  He got the idea from someone that was using the same tactic across town from him.  I wonder if that person didn’t get the idea from a scene in the movie  Home Alone , where Kevin McCallister uses a variety of manikins and other human shaped items to fool some thieves into thinking that there was a party going on. This is on top of other security provisions including a pair of guard dogs, flood lights, alarms, bars on doors and windows, and two re-enforced doors.  He’s had police officers stop, take a look, and then tell him what a great idea it was.  He has also placed security cameras in their eyes and mouths from time to time. If you’re just driving past the house, you might glance over and think there are real people sitting there, and you wouldn’t be the first.  “A car will come by and they pick my place because I keep it nice. They’ll slow down, see the dummies and take off. They come back around and look again. Eventually if they figure out they are dummies they are also figuring out that now they’re being watched. They keep moving. They don’t stop,” he said.  “What’s behind those […]

Michigan Bill Would Mandate Night Safety Measures Including Security Cameras

Posted by dtaitano 11:33 am Categories: Legislation. Tags: , , .

Jessia Heeringa was abducted from the gas station where she worked on April 26, 2013. There were no surveillance cameras. (file photos) LANSING, Mich. (WOOD) – It has been more than seven months since Jessica Heeringa was abducted from her job, and now a Michigan representative is making a push to prevent similar incidents. Monday, Rep. Collene Lamonte (D-Montague) will introduce a bill to require gas stations that stay open past 11 p.m. to either have two employees working or install security cameras. Surveillance video is one key thing missing from the night of April 26 when Heeringa, a 25-year-old mother, disappeared from the Sternberg Road Exxon Mobil gas station in Norton Shores near the end of her shift. There were no surveillance cameras at the gas station. The case prompted Rep. Lamonte to start drafting on the bill. “This tragic event did highlight an issue that I think needs to be addressed and I want to make sure that our late-night employees are protected,” Lamonte told 24 Hour News 8 in May. Lamonte will join 24 Hour News 8 live Monday morning on Daybreak to discuss the bill. In July, Heeringa’s 26th birthday passed and she remained missing. Norton Shores detectives continue to investigate Heeringa’s case, but said six months after the abduction that solid tips have become few and far between. The reward for information leading to Heeringa stands at more than $15,000. Anyone with information about Heeringa’s disappearance or who saw anything out of the ordinary […]

The Size Of South Africa?s Network Video Surveillance Equipment Market Surpasses Analog

Posted by dtaitano 7:25 am Categories: Market Research. Tags: , , , , .
research

Condividi According to Josh Woodhouse , Video Surveillance Analyst at IHS “The size of South Africa’s network video surveillance equipment market surpassed the analogue market for the first time in 2012” . With a video surveillance equipment market size of approximately $90 million South Africa is the largest country level market in Africa and amongst the most technologically mature. The data from IHS’ recently published report on the African market for video surveillance equipment shows that in 2012 the transition from analogue to network equipment passed a milestone: for the first time, revenues from network equipment surpassed those from analogue. The market transition will continue with an increasing proportion of future revenues coming from network equipment. However, due to a combination of low economic growth, a weakening Rand and on-going labour disputes in key vertical markets for video surveillance, we remain conservative about the current growth prospects for the video surveillance market in South Africa. Single digit growth is forecast for 2013 and 2014. Not the end of analogue There remains a high installed base of analogue equipment in South Africa. Analogue equipment still accounts for the majority of unit shipments and, unlike other regional markets in Europe or North America, shipments are forecast to grow. In certain vertical markets analogue equipment is likely to remain the technology of choice. The residential sector is one such example: analogue equipment offers a low-cost, easy-to-install solution and each year a high number of cameras are installed by small security professionals covering […]

Illustration photo (123rf) Illustration photo (123rf) The U.S customs and border s (CBP) has awarded a contract worth more than $67,000 to General Dynamics Global Imaging Technologies, Inc. to supply its Z-500 long-range thermal imaging camera s for the U.S. Border Patrol to use at its Calexico Station in California to spot criminal organizations crossing the border in ultra-light aircraft. “ The Calexico Station currently lacks the capability to efficiently monitor the criminal organizations and terrorists engaging in or planning illicit activities along the U.S. border ,” says a CBP award notice posted on November 4. “Current Thermal Cameras are insufficient, outdated, and often fail; land units are unable to exploit the use of new camera technology due to there being none. As a result, Calexico Station requests to modernize and reinforce its current capabilities based on the criminal organizations methods being used to evade Border Patrol enforcement.” According to Government Security News the Z-500 is the only camera thermal imaging system that is compatible with the Remote Video Surveillance System (RVSS), which is also being used at the Calexico Station. iHLS – Israel Homeland Security “ With outstanding long-range target detection and recognition, the Z-500 continuous zoom long-range thermal imager is the camera of choice for force protection and surveillance ,” says General Dynamics on its own Web site. “User-defined preset field-of-view options offer the user unprecedented mission flexibility. The camera is easily integrated into any command and control system and provides easy-to-use push button interaction. With its […]

CommunityCam Launches Online Mapping Tool For Security Cameras

Posted by dtaitano 8:22 pm Categories: City Surveillance. Tags: , , , .
communitycam

Dec. 01–You’re walking down the street. Someone jumps out from behind a wall, grabs your purse and takes off. Time to cancel the credit cards and get a new purse? Perhaps not. A Portland, Ore.-based company that specializes in video surveillance solutions has just launched an online crowdsourced mapping tool in Boulder County that could help victims of crime track down perpetrators and bring them to justice. The tool is called CommunityCam, and it allows people to map online where surveillance cameras are located in a given area. Victims can visit the map — at videosurveillance.com/communitycam — to see if there was a camera in the immediate area where the crime was committed, be it a mugging or a hit-and-run. They can then request that police try to obtain any footage captured. “We’re seeing this as a community-based safety initiative that is being embraced because of the shortfalls in law enforcement budgets,” said Josh Daniels, founder of CommunityCam and president of VideoSurveillance.com. “Most of the cameras out there have been in place for years, and people simply don’t know that they are out there.” So far, 32 cameras in Boulder have been plotted on CommunityCam, with another 500 or so mapped in the Denver area. The first city to go online was Philadelphia, late last year. The Denver metro area went live last month. CommunityCam is also operating in San Francisco, Portland, Ore., Oakland, Chicago and Orange County, Calif. Daniels estimates that about 10,000 surveillance cameras have been mapped […]

Fort Jackson Adds Automatic License Plate Recognition Cameras From NDI-RS

Posted by dtaitano 7:55 pm Categories: Campus Security, Military. Tags: , , , .
lpr anpr

Longwood, FL (PRWEB) December 02, 2013 Fort Jackson, a U.S. Army installation in South Carolina, has added two fixed automatic license plate recognition (ALPR) cameras from NDI Recognition Systems (NDI-RS) to its existing ALPR deployments. Fort Jackson is the largest U.S. Army training center, training more than 50,000 soldiers each year. Fort Jackson uses ALPR cameras from NDI-RS to monitor vehicles on the base, which covers more than 52,000 acres. By using cameras from NDI-RS, Fort Jackson is able to take advantage of ALPR servers provided by the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division (SLED), which maintains a statewide license plate database for all law enforcement agencies in South Carolina, using software from NDI-RS. This allows South Carolina agencies to implement ALPR from NDI-RS very efficiently and cost-effectively, since there is no cost for back-end servers or user licenses, and no extended implementation period. “By leveraging NDI Recognition System’s relationship with SLED, South Carolina law enforcement agencies and other critical installations like Fort Jackson can quickly implement our ALPR solutions,” said Christopher McKissick, Director of Sales. “Using the NDI-RS back office maintained by SLED, agencies get real-time data from the South Carolina Department of Motor Vehicles, the National Crime Information Center (NCIC), and SLED itself. This enhances security and improves safety for the Fort Jackson training center.” About NDI Recognition Systems: NDI Recognition Systems (NDI-RS) is a global provider of automated license plate recognition (ALPR) solutions for law enforcement, homeland security, and critical infrastructure security, as well as other market […]

Mechanicsville VA Bathroom Surveillance Cameras Under Investigation

Posted by dtaitano 7:50 pm Categories: Privacy, Surveillance. Tags: , , , , .

MECHANICSVILLE, VA (WWBT) – Controversy is getting served up at Mechanicsville’s Calabash Seafood Restaurant & Midway Lounge. Owner Dennis Smith installed security cameras in the men’s bathrooms, back in September. Smith says he’s paid heavy costs for repairs after repeated bathroom vandalism. He maintains no privacy laws are being violated, since no guest’s private areas are being recorded. However, the Hanover Sheriff’s Office is now investigating the camera situation. Officers executed a search warrant. The cameras were shut off. Smith says investigators are reviewing the footage. Customer Victor Little says he was shocked to spot the cameras, while having dinner at the restaurant Saturday evening. He took cell phone video of the surveillance camera, situated on the ceiling above a stall. “I was startled… I couldn’t believe there was a camera in the men’s room,” said Little. Smith says the bathrooms have been a target of damage, during the span of the restaurant’s 34 years. Smith describes an incident in August that totaled $1,000. “I had a customer go in the men’s room and tear a urinal completely off the wall, with tile…(then the man) broke a toilet,” recounted Smith of the damage. However, the cameras have caused other problems. One man was charged for ripping out one of the cameras, back in September. He says he believed his privacy rights were being violated. The incident also prompted the Hanover Sheriff’s investigation into whether any privacy laws are being broken. NBC12 legal analyst Steve Benjamin says security cameras are […]

News analysis: Global biometric standards-setting body formed

News analysis: Global biometric standards-setting body formed The Natural Security Alliance, a French-based international open source biometric standards-setting body that counts BNP Paribas, MasterCard and Carrefour Banque among its members, has launched what it claims is the world’s first association grouping, the Open Alliance, dedicated to propagating shared wireless biometric authentication to protect transactions. Up until now, the French-based organisation has not tried to corner the international standards market, reports Neil Ainger , but with the launch of the Natural Security Alliance’s open source group that is now changing. Jean-Pierre Viboud, group chief executive of Oney Banque Accord in France has been appointed as the open group Alliance’s first chairman, overseeing a collection of banks, card schemes, retailers and vendors all dedicated to developing and encouraging a global open source wireless biometric authentication standard. The shared protocol will be freely available to all and can protect transactions around the world. According to Viboud all open Alliance members, with the initial founding board including AS 24 (TOTAL oil group), Crédit Agricole, Paycert, SIX Payment Services and Swiss Capital International among many others, share a strategic commitment to delivering mission-critical authentication and payment solutions based upon biometric technology. “The Alliance was formed to provide a collaborative space for all professionals who are interested in biometrics and new payment systems to share and develop ideas for an open standard,” he said. “We believe that this information sharing and access to the specifications is one of the main benefits for our members.

IHS Publishes “The Asian Distribution Market For Video Surveillance Equipment” Report

Posted by dtaitano 7:37 pm Categories: Market Research. Tags: , , .
IHS report

IHS report contains forecasts and analysis for this highly fragmented and competitive market The report estimates that the Top 10 distributors accounted for only just over a tenth of the Asian market in 2012 Supply of CCTV and video surveillance equipment in Asia by distributors is highly fragmented. According to a new report from IHS , large multinationals like ADI Distribution , Anixter , and Ingram Micro do operate in some Asian countries. However, the Asian market is predominately served by a multitude of small, privately-owned distributors. There are relatively few distributors that have a large share of their local market. The report, “The Asian Distribution Market for Video Surveillance Equipment” estimates that the top 10 distributors accounted for only just over a tenth of the market in 2012. There are some exceptions. For example, Aditya Infotech has a relatively high share of the Indian distribution market and Pacific Communications has a relatively high share of the Australian distribution market. However, the Asian market as a whole is mainly served by smaller players. China is easily the largest distribution market for video surveillance equipment in Asia. However, Chinese vendors often have a large sales team of their own and they operate numerous branch offices. Their own sales teams tend to sell direct to systems integrators and installers for big projects. They also manage the relationship with small distributors. WinHi and Digital China were two of the largest distributors of video surveillance equipment in China in 2012. However, both of […]
