IP surveillance camera
Installation for small industrial complex
As someone that is in the industry, I get
this question on a Weekly basis. “Do I need IP or Analog cameras for my Company
/ Small Scale Industry?” The answer to this question is quite simple,
“How important is your stuff & Property?” There is one major truth about IP
cameras that some people find hard to swallow and I am going to be very blunt
about it, “Yes, they are more expensive”. Budget is another factor to consider.
Small business owners often have to make budget their primary concern and want
a quality camera that is easy to install, accessible on mobile, and
hassle-free. Quite often selecting the best video surveillance camera is all
about the best option within a limited budget.
End-users should look at the total cost of ownership, including warranties and
cybersecurity protection. To achieve more cost efficiencies, end users will
want an intelligent system, and again, this requires video analytics.
They are more expensive BUT the Cost vs.
Price analysis shows that they are in essence less expensive when considering
what you actually get with the IP camera solution. So what do you get,
Clarity is the huge one. With the right IP camera you can catch such great
detail that you can not only see and describe who is walking up to the door,
but the camera system can recognize the face, store it, and give you the exact
time the person walked up to the door. While the camera system is doing this it
also has the capability to catch the make, model and license plate of the car
s/he drove up in. And if that wasn’t enough, the camera system can count the
number of people that walk up to the door, pull into the drive way, or even
walk by the house. And believe it or not, the system will even send you an
email if someone walks up to the door after hours. The system can alert you if
the UPS man walks up and leaves a package, or it can alert you if you have
something on the porch and it suddenly walks off.
Can you get this type of clarity with an
analog camera system? Maybe? On a clear day? The honest answer:
probably not. Can you get these extra features like facial detection with an
analog camera system? That answers easy, NO.
So now I ask the same question that I asked
above, “How important is your stuff or property?” or the real question is
“How important is your safety?”.
Cybersecurity, encryption, and infrared
imagery are also growing trends that are currently driving the selection of
video surveillance cameras, especially for government and other critical
infrastructure customers.
These facilities often prioritize cybersecurity, so procurement officers look
for a system that meets regulatory requirements, is secure, and highly reliable
— one that protects the data from the camera to monitoring.
Location and threat type factor into the
decision as well. Even the best outdoor security camera system won't be
effective if installed indoors. Thermal cameras can detect potential intruders
at a distance of up to 15 miles, providing an extra margin of response time.
Explosion-proof cameras, commonly used in hazardous industries, are hardened
with protective housing.
Another factor end users need to consider is installing a completely new system
or adding to an existing one. With a new build, they have a blank canvas to
work with that can be customized to match the end user's needs rather than
retrofit new equipment to an existing system.
The most critical factor in selecting the
best video surveillance camera is to understand its ultimate purpose — the
problems it's required to solve and what it's expected to provide in the way of
detection, identification, and data-mining capability. Pain points such as 24/7
monitoring of the premises and compliance requirements set by the enterprise
business policies all need to be considered during the selection process.
Determining the number of areas of
interest, how much of them to cover, and how close they are to each other is
the next step. These parameters will determine the types of cameras required
and how many. For example, you can achieve adequate coverage of an area using
multiple fixed cameras or with just a few pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) cameras.
Risk assessment should be performed to ensure the design
of the system results in an installation that adequately addresses the threats
and reduces the security risks. In order to identify the level(s) of security
required (and potentially therefore the grading of the elements of the system),
an assessment of the factors which are likely to come into play is required. In
very global terms, from a security perspective these elements are typically
considered as:
Threat (Who): The threat will typically be defined as the persons or
events to be protected against. Threats will vary greatly in termsof
objectives, determination, capability, resourcefulness,
Vulnerability (What / Where): The vulnerability will typically be the areas
of concern that require protection. The level of vulnerability will be defined
by numerous factors such as desirability of the objects in the area, ease of
access, operational hours of the environment, exposure / secluded nature of the
area.
Risk (What if?): Risk is effectively the consequence of a successful or
attempted intrusion or event. These risks can be wide and varied and not
immediately obvious. Risks and impact levels of each identified risk will
typically vary depending on the nature of site. Risks can include: 1.
Immediate Financial Loss:
Immediate value of items lost.
2.
Ongoing Financial Loss:
Increased insurance premiums, time to return to profit.
3.
Personal Safety: Injuries to
staff and / or members of public involved in violent incident.
4.
Stress Related Issues: Reduced
staff morale, loss of staff due to safety concerns.
5.
Non-financial loss: May include
loss of intellectual property, company data or similar.
Typically security systems cannot change the identified
threat or alter the risk, but well deployed security measures significantly
reduce the vulnerability. This in turn helps to reduce the likelihood of risks
occurring.
These services are provided in different environments,
such as swimming pools, fitness areas, dining halls, common areas and
individual rooms. Each area has its own potential risks; for instance, guests
can slip and fall near the swimming pool area if not properly maintained or
they may get injured in the fitness area. Some of the most common causes of
injury in these places are:
1.
Physical Attacks: Although
the premises of hotel and hospitality providers are considered safe, in some
crowded and low budget hotels, criminals may attack guests for their money. In
these situations, the presence of outdoor surveillance cameras acts as an
evidence against those criminals.
2.
Slips: Usually, the
flooring is not similar in all areas of the premises. The guests being new
generally do not pay much attention towards the uneven flooring and so they may
slip and fall. Moreover, cracked flooring, worn-out carpets and wet floors are
some of the major causes of slip and fall accidents.
3.
Broken Furniture: In order
to save money, some hotels do in-house repair of furniture that broke down due
to overuse. Because of its age and some guests’ weight, the furniture may
collapse and injure the guests.
It is important to consider the level of
detail required in an image so that it matches the need of the user. This
should be discussed with the client. The practical effect of this is that a
camera may need to have a wider or narrower field of view so that the necessary
amount of detail can be seen and that in some circumstances more cameras may be
needed, either to increase the area covered with the same detail or to allow
for different levels of detail to be seen from the same view.
Whether the different levels of detail can
be achieved using a single PTZ or single camera of high resolution is a matter
that should be agreed.
A lens is a
transparent optical device with perfect or approximate axial symmetry which
transmits and refracts light, converging or diverging the transmitted light and
to form images. A simple lens consists of a single optical element. A compound
lens is an array of simple lenses (elements) with a common axis; the use of
multiple elements allows more optical aberrations to be corrected than is
possible with a single element. Lenses are typically made of glass or
transparent plastic.
The measure of
the fine detail that can be seen in an image. For analog systems this is
typically measured in Television Lines or TVL. Higher TVL rating, the higher
the resolution. Same way megapixel (MP) like 1.3mp, 2mp, 4mp, 8mp etc.
Resolution-horizontal
The amount of resolvable detail in the horizontal direction in a picture. It is
usually expressed as the number of distinct vertical lines, alternately black
and white, which can be seen in a distance equal to picture height.
Resolution-horizontal - vertical
The amount of resolvable detail in the vertical direction in a picture. It is
usually expressed as the number of distinct horizontal lines, alternately black
and white, which can theoretically be seen in a picture.
Detection, Recognition and Identification (DRI) in video
surveillance is very important terms to get image details. DRI ranges,
expressed in meters, km (or miles), can be found in the specification table of
infrared camera brochures.
The terms “Detection”, “Recognition” and “Identification”
were defined as follow:
·
Detection: ability to
distinguish an object from the background
·
Recognition: ability to
classify the object class (animal, human, vehicle, …)
·
Identification: ability to
describe the object in details (a man with a hat, a Jeep …)
As a best practice, do not assume the camera resolution
is everything in regards to image quality. For a camera to operate in a
day-night environment, (the absence of light is zero lux), the night mode must
be sensitive to the infrared spectrum. It is highly recommended to conduct
tests or pilot installations before buying large quantities of any model of
camera.

Display screens
may be desk or wall mounted with consideration given to the ergonomics of the
operator. The display screens should be installed to minimise the effect of
lighting, particularly sunlight, which can adversely affect the viewing
experience. Wall or ceiling mounted display screens should be mounted using
suitable brackets in accordance with manufacturer’s instructions.
Consideration
should be given to the positioning of such screens to ensure they are above
head height or not in a position where people may bang their head on them.
Your guest
needs to be aware that they are entering hotel area that is being monitored by
CCTV surveillance equipment. Signs should be placed so that they are clearly
visible and legible. The size of the sign will vary according to the
circumstances of its location.
Incident
Response
Locally
agreed procedures should detail the action to be taken in the event of an
incident. These procedures should conform to those laid out as below:
• Action to be taken
• Who should respond?
• The timescale for response
• The
times at which observation should take place
• The
criteria for a successful response
• CCTV
operators should maintain a record of all incidents in the appropriate incident
log.
The
overall indicator of successful response to incidents is that the CCTV scheme
fulfils its objectives, i.e.:
•
Restoration of tranquility
•
Dispersal or control of the situation
•
Prevention or minimization of injury and damage
• Reduction
of crime and disorder, to improve safety and reassure the guest
•
Identification of a suspect
•
Gathering relevant information to assist in the subsequent apprehension of
offenders
•
Apprehension of a suspect with evidence
• Guest
safety through effective evacuation
• Traffic
flow restored
Our CCTV projects are intended to reduce
cases of theft and misconduct in the organisation premises. Like any other
project, our CCTV projects will involve a degree of cost to the client, in
terms of the cost of the installation, maintenance as well the impact it will
have on personal privacy within the precincts of the organisation/ business
premises.
SSA Integrate will carry out a detailed survey of the area under
surveillance and armed with experience in the field of public / social control
techniques is proposing to install/ deploy CCTV and/ or alarm surveillance
system that will make it possible to have a real time total visibility of the
Areas under surveillance.
CCTV can be effective in reducing or
preventing crime if it is part of a broader crime prevention and community
safety strategy, as such, it should not be implemented as the only means of
addressing crime in public places.
