Around 3:30 a.m. Sunday the video shows a man enter the business, grab the cash box and leave.

It took the man just minutes to hit three businesses near 144 th and Fort. “We all work. They can do the same thing instead of stealing money from people who work really hard,” said Shari Preister who runs Cuppycakes Sweet Boutique.

September 16th, 2013 | Defense | Posted by jim mcelhatton close Author: jim mcelhatton Name : Email: jmcelhatton@federaltimes.com Site: About: See Authors Posts (28) Access into the Washington Navy Yard’s Building 197, where a shooting rampage in Washington left at least a dozen people dead Monday, includes a security clearance check and vetting by contract-hired “visitor control technicians,” contract records show. Authorities have identified Aaron Alexis, 34, a Navy veteran, as the dead gunman. While it’s unclear how Alexis got into the building Monday morning, the Associated Press reported that he may have used someone’s identification. In April, the Navy hired Kansas-based contractor Transtecs Corp. for “visitor control office support services” at the Washington Navy Yard, according to the government’s online procurement database. While there’s no indication that Transtecs’ work has come under question in the shooting, contract records related to the company’s hiring do shed light on the sort of vetting the Navy requires to get into Building 197, which houses the Navy’s Sea Systems Command. A 30-page task order on the company’s website says Transtecs provides the labor to support the ID badging system and associated equipment at the building. A person who answered the phone for Transtecs Monday said the company declined to comment. Entry into the building includes a check of the Joint Personnel Adjudication System to verify an individual’s clearance level prior to authorizing access, the task order shows. “The contractor shall utilize the government furnished Picture Perfect Access Control System to issue […]

12:10 pm
Categories: Casinos.
Sydney – Asia’s new mega-casinos are driving sales and innovation in advanced surveillance technology, from chips with built-in radio transmitters to high-definition, multi-lens, digital cameras that can scan huge gaming floors and catch the deftest sleight of hand. Security solution providers such as German-Australian joint venture Dallmeier International, California-based Pelco, a unit of Schneider Electric, and Samsung Techwin, about 25% owned by Samsung Electronics, are among those reaping the benefits of Asia’s casino building boom. Tens of thousands of security cameras, including some of the most advanced commercially available, have been installed in the southern Chinese territory of Macau alone in the past five years, and many thousands more are on order for the multi billion dollar hotel-casino resorts still in the pipeline. “It’s big business. The camera market here has started to get very big… It’s probably the most demanding environment for a video surveillance system anywhere in the world,” said Craig Graham, Dallmeier International general manager for Asia. “Some of these guys (casino operators) have 700 tables and up to 1 000 slot machines, all of which have to be monitored 24 hours a day, seven days a week.” Graham said Dallmeier had about 20% of the video surveillance market in Macau’s gaming industry, where its clients include Sands China , a subsidiary of Las Vegas Sands and one of six casino firms licensed to operate in the only place in China where casinos are legal. There are around 100 000 cameras installed in Macau’s casinos, according […]

12:04 pm
Categories: New Products, VMS Software.
Exibiting at ASIS 2013 AxxonSoft has made available version 3.1.1 of its innovative Axxon Next video management software. The main goal of the update, according to the developers, was to increase product functionality and provide additional stability gains. The previous version, Axxon Next 3.1 , marked the appearance of a number of completely new functions that significantly optimise workflows, assist in efficient allocation of computing resources, and reduce the network footprint of video surveillance. These new functions have been improved and built upon in version 3.1.1, making the new version of Axxon Next an even more powerful and efficient solution for video surveillance systems. New features in Axxon Next 3.1.1 include: Support for Guardant electronic dongle–based licensing, which allows starting Axxon Next on any computer to which the USB dongle is connected. (HID-based licensing, the only licensing type available previously, requires attaching the Axxon Next license to the hardware of a specific computer.) Guardant dongles allow quickly bringing a new server online to replace one that has gone down, for example. Improved dewarping of fisheye images can now determine the centre and radius of the source image. This capability prevents distortion in dewarped images when the centre of the source image has shifted relative to the center of the frame or the radius of the source image is not equal to half of the length of the side of the frame. An improved masking algorithm during configuration of video detection tools enables setting polygonal masking areas more precisely. The […]
