Kit (PEK), combines the unerring accuracy of lasers to scan the environment in much the same way a radar does, but at a much higher resolution, building an image of the world around it regardless of lighting conditions. Presenting the technology in the UK for the first time at IFSEC International in London’s ExCeL, Cepton’s VP Neil Huntingdon says that because the device combines the sensor with a powerful micro-computer in a single package it can process the information directly at the “edge” and highlight only potential threats, such as an intruder or a suspicious package. This then guarantees the anonymity of those not involved in any suspicious incident. Enhanced data protection Lidar can see in the dark, it only transmits a fraction of the information a video would" Neil, Cepton’s VP of Business Development, said: “Our technology allows for far greater protection of data – because it allows operators to zero in on possible issues in a way other technology cannot. There are many advantages to this; most notably Lidar can see in the dark, it only transmits a fraction of the information a video would, reducing the burden of data storage and network bandwidth charges, while opening the door to more mobile installations.” “Perhaps most importantly it means we can guarantee the anonymity of people or objects not deemed a threat. This is a step-change from existing technology, where everyone’s face is captured and held on video storage, regardless of whether they were involved in an incident or not.” 3D Lidar sensor detection technology In addition to being more dynamic than video technology, the system has been designed with user simplicity in mind. “You hand someone a camera and they know what it is and what to do with it. This is often not the case with a Lidar and Cepton intends to change that.” said Jerone Floor, Head of Product at Cepton. He further states, “Our customers should not need to be Lidar experts to set up and test our system, but, at the same time, the tools are available to take it to the next level and develop products based on our Vista family of sensors.” Wireless connectivity Cepton’s technology, which can operate over Wi-Fi, mobile networks or Ethernet, can also be used to enable driverless cars and to monitor traffic and infrastructure usage, enabling smarter modelling of transport networks. Neil added, “This technology is undoubtedly an exciting prospect for security and transport – and we believe it is the key to the delivery of truly smart cities that can make our communities safer and more connected.”

Most people working in the security industry are familiar with the term ‘tailgating’, but what about ‘sidegating’? For Integrated Design Limited (IDL), manufacturers of Fastlane turnstiles, this new term refers to the act of two people attempting unauthorised side-by-side dual entry through an entrance control system, and it has only recently become relevant due to the advent of wider turnstile lanes. Install turnstile lanes IDL developed extensions to their range of Fastlane Speedgates In response to changing regulations and to meet customer demands for wider lanes for both pedestrian and wheelchair users’ comfort, IDL developed extensions to their range of Fastlane Speedgates, launching the Glassgate 155 at the end of 2017 and, most recently, the Glassgate 400 Plus. Both models enable Fastlane customers to install turnstile lanes of up to 1200mm wide, significantly wider than the standard 660mm and 914mm DDA and ADA compliant lanes that have previously been supplied. But, with the development of wider lanes came the potential for ‘sidegating’. Driven by this emerging security risk, IDL developed new optical technology which will be demonstrated in the Fastlane Glassgate 400 Plus model at IFSEC 2019, and they invite you to put this latest innovation to the test on their stand - IF330. Comfortably fit wheelchairs “Developing Speedgates that are wide enough to comfortably fit wheelchairs, including sports wheelchairs - which are wider than standard wheelchairs - means that the lanes are also wide enough to easily fit two pedestrians through, side-by-side,” comments Tony Smith, Major Accounts and Marketing Manager at Integrated Design Limited. Our in-house engineers have developed technology, which will be on display at IFSEC" “Most turnstiles are unable to detect this kind of behaviour, so for individuals wanting to attempt unauthorised access – whether they have harmful intentions or not - this presents an opportunity. Our in-house engineers have developed technology, which will be on display at IFSEC, that is capable of preventing this from happening.” The new technology being showcased at IFSEC is part of IDL’s policy of continuous improvement to its products and services, including wider redevelopment of IDL’s optical system which is purpose designed and built by IDL’s in-house engineers for exclusive use in Fastlane turnstiles. Authorise entry “Behind the beautiful exterior of a Fastlane turnstile, the intelligent infrared matrix that drives the decision to authorise entry makes thousands of calculations per second based on speed of passage, luggage being carried or pulled, distance to the authorised pedestrian and direction of movement,” continues Tony. “We’re constantly reviewing the way the intelligence interprets what it sees in a lane to further enhance our already market-leading optical system, with further developments due to be announced soon.” “In the past, when we have taken new products to shows, we have had a few visitors thinking that they can beat our systems and we always welcome the challenge,” concludes Tony. If you would like to see a live demonstration of the Fastlane Glassgate 400 Plus and test its capabilities, it will be on show at IFSEC, 18-20 June 2019 at ExCeL, London, on stand IF330.

IDIS has launched its totally cost-free IDIS Dynamic Privacy Masking (IDPM) solution at IFSEC International (stand IF1110 at London’s ExCel) 2019. IDIS now offers a simple answer to the previously labour-intensive – or prohibitively expensive – problem of de-identification in video footage which is being submitted in response to requests for access under The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) or for evidential purposes. Protecting privacy with masking GDPR came into play during a challenging time and some users have stopped reporting smaller losses" Last year, GDPR gave the right to any person captured by a video surveillance camera to access a copy of their personal recorded data. But at the same time, companies are required to protect the identity of other individuals who feature in the recorded video, with anonymisation and masking. The same de-identification also needs to be applied when providing video clips to the police and courts for use as evidence. GDPR-compliance for incident investigations Jamie Barnfield, Sales Director at IDIS Europe, says that many small to medium companies – for example, retailers and eating-out chains - are struggling to manage their recorded video footage. They are under pressure to provide police with GDPR-compliant video for incident investigations, to respond to freedom of information requests from the public, and to supply footage to insurers assessing claims including as slips, trips and falls. In all of these cases the video needs to be redacted, Barnfield points out. “GDPR came into play during a challenging time and some users have stopped reporting smaller losses and petty crimes because of the increased work involved. For others the alternative has been to resort to expensive video cloaking services that charge by the minute, or to use third-party redaction software not budgeted into the running costs of their surveillance operations,” he said. IDIS Dynamic Privacy Masking (IDPM) Solving this problem, IDPM is now available from the IDIS Partners Portal as a direct download. It allows authorised system users to blur sensitives areas and dynamically de-identify faces, vehicles etc. Crucially, IDPM does this automatically for the duration of the clip, even as the object or person moves around the scene. Users can then quickly save video as clips or project files via the IDIS Clip Player which, crucially, does not rely on transcoding to prevent forgery. The integrity of recorded video is already assured with IDIS Chained Fingerprint technology As a result, masking can easily be removed later by the authorised user without affecting the integrity of the footage, if that becomes necessary for a subsequent investigation. Users also have options to set passwords and expiration dates, and to control who can access and play video files. IDIS Chained Fingerprint technology The integrity of recorded video is already assured with IDIS Chained Fingerprint technology, which extracts distinctive features of recorded video data to create fingerprints for each frame and then embeds each fingerprint into the data of the next frame, connecting each frame together with the next like a blockchain. “IDPM now gives users a simple, fast and intuitive tool to provide evidence to the police and courts so that theft, abuse and violence against staff can be investigated and criminals brought to justice. At the same time companies can respond, within the stipulated timeframe, to information requests in line with GDPR without additional costs,” added Barnfield.

PAC & GDX, providers of access control and door entry solutions, are showcasing the range and depth of their innovative technology on Stand IF2930 at IFSEC International 2019. From a single door installation to a fully integrated network based system, the company’s extensive portfolio provides unbeatable reliability and robust functionality, at a price point that enables installation in a diverse range of residential and commercial buildings. In order to provide integrators and end users with the highest level of flexibility and ease of operation, PAC & GDX have joined forces with STid, the principal manufacturer of instinctive, contactless security technologies. NFC based readers By incorporating STid’s Bluetooth and NFC based readers with PAC or GDX controllers, a mobile phone can be used to gain access. To enjoy all the benefits of a handsfree option, all an individual has to do is tap their phone twice and the Bluetooth signal is sent to the reader to unlock a door. By downloading the STid app a virtual credential can be configured in a smartphone wallet By downloading the STid app a virtual credential can be configured in a smartphone wallet, allowing the user to have multiple virtual ‘keys’ for different areas or sites. The system can also be configured to use proximity based near field communication (NFC) instead of Bluetooth, or a combination of the two. Furthermore, it is available with a PAC or PAC 64 output and, when using a PAC 512 or PAC 212 access controller, two readers can be connected to provide true read in/out from a single channel. Access control systems Also on display is the PAC Residential Cloud solution, which leads the way in allowing organisations to remotely manage and monitor their access control systems in a secure, modern and cloud based environment. Users can address technical issues, deal with key fob management, view status, set and unset a system, and gain access to an event log more easily than ever before – all from a remote location. Various site communication options are available including PSTN, GSM and GPRS and it can be configured and managed via a smartphone, tablet or PC. At IFSEC PAC is demonstrating how Residential Cloud can be integrated with 3xLOGIC cameras to provide a fully hosted solution, which is perfect for the residential sector. This system allows designated personnel to be notified if, for example, a door is forced or left open. Network switches By sending an alarm to the camera, it starts to record and transmits images to a mobile device via a push notification. This allows the system to provide vital information that elicits a fast response and immediate action. With an optional camera, a backlight LED to provide clear visitor images in low light levels Sharing the limelight with STid and Residential Cloud is GDX7 – a next generation IP based door entry system that offers integrated access control for up to 1,000 keyholders using a standard two-core cable.

Using IFSEC as the launchpad for a new beam sensor technology, TAKEX will be introducing the all-new PR-30BE Using IFSEC as the launchpad for a new beam sensor technology, TAKEX will be introducing the all-new PR-30BE; a 30-metre reflective beam sensor with Time of Flight monitoring. The PR-30BE uses Time of Flight technology to determine detecting distance with unprecedented accuracy by measuring both light reception level and timing, meaning no lost alarms from highly reflective objects such as white vehicles. PR-30BE reflective beam sensor The PR-30BE can be used where conventional beams that require power at both ends are impractical due to either installation cost or environmental concerns, such as across waterways, roads, and runways; providing the performance of a traditional point-to-point beam sensor with the single-ended convenience of a PIR detector. Sized like a twin beam but with several features carried over from the PB-IN and PXB flagship quad series, the PR-30BE includes environmental monitoring which dynamically optimises performance to match changing conditions with a dedicated output giving a pre-alarm warning if required. Also included is the popular audible alignment tone function which together with the dual-ring viewfinder and monitor output voltage options, ensure easy beam alignment. Response time adjustment The PR-30BE also includes response time adjustment, +/-90 degrees horizontal and +/-5 degrees vertical adjustment, and a newly redesigned reflector assembly for a minimum operational distance of just 0.5m. Attendees of IFSEC International 2019 will have the opportunity to see the PR-30BE first-hand. Visit TAKEX on stand IF2602, 18-20 June at ExCel London. Additional details including pricing will be announced in local markets at the time of availability.
