Safe & Secure India – Building & Home Security
Technology
is the driving force behind the transformation we can see all around us. Every
day, elements of our personal and business lives are touched by smart solutions
in some shape or form and innovators are constantly pioneering new ideas to
improve the way we live. Today we have smartphones, smart TVs, smart meters,
smart cars and now smart cities.
Technology
has become an integral part of big infrastructure projects as it can play a
pivotal role in addressing many issues.
What
exactly is a smart city? It means some body can put less effort to do more.
Today the Aadhaar usage is expanding and the police force is spending a lot
time in identifying people when a crime is committed. Since the government is the
biggest agency, it has everything including your birth certificate, educational
certificates and all other relevant data which can be put in one place to
identify criminals. Today, government departments are spending crores of rupees
in data collection. If we can integrate all of it, we can do a lot more.
Smart
Services, such as intelligent transportation, connected health care, public
safety and security, emergency services, waste management and smart grid
metering can be connected to drive efficiency and real-time intelligence.
Smart
cities should have projects like integration of public sector & Pvt Sector
buildings, Hospitals, School & University, and Molls etc. Install cameras
in individual houses, these are ways to ensure public safety.
Building
Security
The
design and construction of secure buildings (minimal danger or risk of harm)
continues to be the primary goal for owners, architects, engineers,
project managers, and other stakeholders.
Automated
building security solutions protect public buildings, industrial facilities,
critical infrastructures, private homes or material assets from vandalism,
theft, terrorism, intrusion, or where necessary, unlawful escape. Yet, the
protection offered by mechanical measures and guards is often not sufficient.
SICK electronic sensor-based protective devices complement these measures and
are suitable for stationary, portable, or mobile applications. In order to
extend response times, protection is provided in a concentric manner: from
perimeter protection and monitoring of the building exterior and interior, as
well as object monitoring.
Security
in-charge & Facilities Managers have an incredibly tough job of ensuring
that their company’s facility and any buildings or spaces comply with local
legislation and regulations. Building indicate Commercial / Residential,
Private home, critical infrastructures, University’s or Schools, Hospital,
Multiplex, Molls etc.
Here are
some Common Layered in building Security Concept to consider to maintain a
secure building:
Outer Protection Layer – e.g.,
natural or man-made barriers at property line
Middle Protection Layer – e.g.,
exterior of building
Inner Protection Layer – e.g.,
doors / Entry exit point within building
The
protective measures in the security building design are intended to provide one
or more of these basic functions:
Deter (access or attack by an
active threat) e.g. CCTV, Security, Access Control, Intrusion sensor
Detect (presence of hazard or
threat) e.g. CCTV, Security, Access Control
Prevent (hazard condition or
attempt by threat) e.g., CCTV, Security
Delay (access or attack action)
e.g. Security, Access or Entrance Control
Assess (situation) e.g.
Security, Access Control
Respond (by denying access,
defending or protecting assets) e.g. Central Station Monitoring / Integration
Now we
discussed about indicative pin point system:
Video
Surveillance
As a
security expert I observed maximum place of building has very poor condition in
security component. Dirty CCTV Camera with NVR/DVR, cable exposed of camera.
The system transmits video signals within a closed loop by means of fiber-optic
or coaxial cable, or by microwave wireless, forming a complete and independent
system, from camera to image display and to the recording unit. Because
security monitoring is typically implemented in harsh environments, you need to
protect against damage from adverse events, such as surges and short-circuit
faults in the power supply. That component is not under Planned Maintenance
scheme. BSIA Form 120 Code of practice
for the maintenance of CCTV systems. BS EN 50132-7 states that “CCTV systems
should be maintained in accordance with the schedule supplied by the system
designer or supplier”. But no doughs some of place already used 4K camera. Video
analytics maximum issue / theft has been solve.
Access
Control
An
access system comprises an access controller, card reader, electric control
lock, transmission components and other parts. The access system you design is
meant to secure the safety of personnel and property and should, therefore, be
highly reliable and able to withstand electromagnetic interference (EMI), lightning,
and other events that can harm the system. Someone maintain NSI Code of
Practice for Design, Installation and Maintenance of Access Control Systems - NCP
109. NCP 109, comply with BS EN 50133-1:1997 and BS EN 50133-7:1999. However BS
EN 50133 has not been adopted widely due to lack of available equipment. Road
blocker, Bollard, Tyer killer need to be used during Entry of building.
Parking
Management
Parking
Security is Essentials for a building. If a parking area is dirty, has a poor
layout, or looks unsafe, clients and visitors develop a negative image for that
business. A poorly maintained lot or garage suggests it will be easier to
commit a crime because no one from management will catch unwanted activity. In
garages, glass elements, stairwell rails, signage, cleaning for lighting
fixtures and elevator interiors should receive periodic cleanings as well.
Use an
surveillance eye to monitor parking spaces, entrances, and narrow areas such as
stairwells and corridors. Not only can surveillance catch a crime in progress,
but documentation of a vehicle accident, assault, or even a slip-and-fall
incident can be valuable. Some Easy-to-use App for both iPhone and Android
devices that enables drivers to easily locate vacant parking spaces in real
time. Happier drivers, better traffic flow, less congestion & pollution and
maximum use of parking spaces.
In
addition to cameras placed within the garage footprint for safety, several
360-degree pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) units were installed on the top of the exterior
stair towers. Not only does parking management have access to the feeds at
will, but the external video feed is shared with the police department. Smart
Parking’s RFID solutions enable you to manage permit parking easily.
Permit holders are happier as more space becomes available through
improved enforcement and fact-based planning. A flexible system for
changing needs.
Access
control in parking areas addresses two goals – the safe and efficient flow of
vehicle traffic and generating a record of parking users. Use passive security
measures like fences, bollards, and road blocker to outline the parking area
and direct users to the proper entrances.
Elevator
Security
Elevators
take people to and from every floor in a high-rise building. Owners and
managers used to station security officers in lobbies to sign visitors in and
out. After 9/11, many buildings elected to monitor elevator access for all
building occupants. Technology like optical turnstiles, proximity cards,
and video surveillance can ensure only authorized individuals board your
elevators. Visitors must card in too. Most Class-A high rise buildings are
moving to online / Offline visitor management systems.
Lighting
Control
It is
quite often now, that you hear LED bulbs are much more efficient than other
technologies. According to a study by Ministry of Environment and
Forest in India, lighting constitutes of roughly 30 % of the total electricity
bill. Let us understand the different type of bulbs that are used and how we
can reduce the total energy consumption. Basically, LEDs are just tiny
light bulbs that fit easily into an electrical circuit. They are
illuminated solely by the movement of electrons in a semiconductor material,
and they last just as long as a standard transistor. Although the initial
cost of LED is usually higher, they give more of a return during their lifetime
because of how energy efficient they are. As of 2016, LEDs use only about
10% of the energy an incandescent lamp requires. EN 15232 is Energy performance
of buildings – Impact of Building Automation, Controls and Building Management
standard. BS EN 15232-2012 is just one of many regulations, laws and directives
that impact upon buildings. The global aims of reducing energy usage are set
out in the Kyoto agreement. Others include The Buildings Act 1984; The Building
Regulations and its reviews (2006, 2010, 2013 and 2016); The Approved Documents
of the Building Regulations (Part L – Conservation of Fuel 2010, Part F –
Ventilation 2010, Part G – Sanitation/Hot Water 2010, Part J – Combustion
Appliance 2010)
Occupant
Emergency Plan
Occupant
emergency plans are an integral part of an emergency management program.
Occupant Emergency Plans should be developed for building Operations staff and
occupants to be able to respond to all forms of attacks and threats. Properly
developed plans can reduce the risk to personnel, property, and other assets
while minimizing work disruption during and immediately following an emergency.
BMS &
Integration
In a
intelligent building its required for Reduce Operational Costs, Reduce
Maintenance Costs and Increase Operational Efficiency and Create a
Safe and Quality Building Environment. All security equipment controlling from
this BMS room. Some qualitative returns of BMS are
1.
Extended equipment Life & minimum
Downtime
2.
Effective Use of manpower for other
tasks
3.
Faster and Better responsiveness to
Occupant needs and trouble conditions
4. Better management of the building
facilities through use of reports, history data and alarm management functions,
etc.
5.

changing needs of the building; size, layout, etc.
All the
sensors and devices are designated routing rules & map integrated and
represented by fully functional workflows that the icons on the map. The can be
applied in various system will gather, categorize emergency situations and
display the alarms in real time Analyze React Along with the processes, the
Based on the scenario and event log module will register workflow set, the
system will every task performed by the propose a response and the operator to
form an audit trail field force can execute it.
Building
Information Modeling
Building
Information Modeling (BIM) can be a useful tool for building security. For
example, intelligent objects in 3D provide better understanding of
vulnerabilities and better correlation with other design aspects like building
and site access, location and types of doors and windows, and structural design
characteristics for seismic versus blast design.
Security
guards
Security
guards do have many advantages, but there are also some disadvantages. Guards
cannot see everywhere at once — if they are in one location, they cannot see
other places on your site. They can also be attacked by a thief or criminal who
enters your site, leaving them unable to alert authorities.
Many
businesses will choose to utilize both a guard service and a video surveillance
solution. This popular approach has many benefits:
1. Significant
savings vs. employing a full guard force at all times
2. Cameras
can record at night in low light situations, giving you a better view than a
guard
3. Cameras
can see further/wider than a guard
4. Guards
to monitor cameras live to see all entrances to a building
5. Remote
monitoring services to supplement when a guard isn't available
Home

are a number of GPS trackers on the market that would allow parents to keep an
eye on the whereabouts of their children. Paired with the clean user interface
of the Android and iOS app, we can see this appealing to concerned
parents.
India is
on its way to develop its first ‘100 Smart Cities’. The ambitious project has
been under the spotlight ever since
the
Narendra Modi government announced its vision of developing smart cities for
India, and investing $1.2 billion to create them. The need to recast the urban
landscape via smart cities arose with the increasing pace of migration that
India witnessed in the past few years.
