Upcoming Trends in security & surveillance for 2021

Upcoming Trends in Security & Surveillance for 2021 

It’s fair to say 2020 has not been the year any of us were expecting. It has been challenging, we have all made sacrifices, and there are still further obstacles in our path as we try to get back to “normal”. SARS-CoV-2, the coronavirus strain that causes COVID-19, is a highly contagious respiratory illness that is affecting lives worldwide. Epidemics and pandemics have been threatening the human race time and again. SARS, H1N1, Ebola, and more have shown their teeth in the past, but with each such outbreak, we are learning new ways of fighting and managing such unexpected diseases that can potentially kill millions of people. Technology cannot prevent the onset of the pandemics; however, it can help prevent the spread, educate, warn, and empower those on the ground to be aware of the situation, and noticeably lessen the impact. The pandemic of 2020 has certainly changed the landscape for us all, not just the security industry. It has made us a lot more aware of touch points, crowded gatherings and personal space. It is inevitable that technology will adapt as our lives do. We have already seen manufacturers race to bring us solutions such as body temperature management, face mask detection and crowd control etc. It’s time to change. It’s time to get better. It’s time to learn more and sharpen our skills.’

During pandemic Webinar is boom through Zoom. Google meet, Gotowebiner etc in security safety automation industry. System Integrator, End Users, professionals are learn many things through OEM direct Webinar. US already ban China made surveillance product. In india Atmanirbhar Bharat (self-reliant India) is the vision of the Prime Minister of India Narendra Modi of making India a self-reliant nation. The first mention of this came in the form of the 'Atmanirbhar Bharat Abhiyan' or 'Self-Reliant India Mission' during the announcement of the coronavirus pandemic related economic package on 12 May 2020. Known china CCTV OEM are thrown out. Yes, it’s true, India don’t have much infrastructure to generate Camera manufacturing plant, it will take time at list 5 year. Within this time, we can follow BIS website to get information about selected camera / NVR model are china factory make or not. Low cost and high cost both option camera you can found. If you found that model belongs to china factory immediately change with Closest or Alternative Substitute. Now we check what will be next in 2021 for Security Safety & Automation.

OSHA new Policy:

The COVID-19 outbreak has caused almost all firms to deploy the work from home practice for employees. While some may be used to this, others may feel lost in the exercise. While not all Indian are able or fortunate enough to work from home, many have transitioned to telecommuting and virtual work over the last week or two.

While employers’ responsibilities for the safety and health of their at-home workers is less than those in the office or onsite, some do still exist. OSHA distinguishes between home offices and other home workplaces.

OSHA’s compliance directive on home offices is pretty clear:

·     “OSHA will not conduct inspections of employees’ home offices.

·     “OSHA will not hold employers liable for employees’ home offices, and does not expect employers to inspect the home offices of their employees.

·   “If OSHA receives a complaint about a home office, the complainant will be advised of OSHA’s policy. If an employee makes a specific request, OSHA may informally let employers know of complaints about home office conditions, but will not follow-up with the employer or employee.”

What about recording injuries while working at home? If an employee is working at home, when could the injury be considered work-related? OSHA answers the question:

How do I decide if a case is work-related when the employee is working at home? Injuries and illnesses that occur while an employee is working at home, including work in a home office, will be considered work-related if the injury or illness occurs while the employee is performing work for pay or compensation in the home, and the injury or illness is directly related to the performance of work rather than to the general home environment or setting.

Video Intercoms:

One of the newer phenomena we’ve faced in the world has been the concept of physical distancing, brought to light by the global coronavirus pandemic. This has created challenges not only socially, but for technologies that were not designed to accommodate what may be the new norm. Video intercoms are really going to be playing a bigger part in the way facilities are organized and processes are organized. We’re seeing some customers that are using this to limit having to actually go inside a room in a healthcare facility, for example, to limit the chances of transmitting something all while maintaining that frequency of checking. One of the main benefits of door intercoms is, simply put, the ability to limit — or even eliminate — human contact at the door. In this pandemic, an immediate need is providing [the customer with] a way to create physical distancing upon entry. This can also be applied to healthcare workers. Integrators have to understand this greater demand for security at the door and deliver solutions to their customers. Everybody is having food, groceries and other things delivered to their door. Demand for that is very high right now. Additional security at the door or the gate is something people want and need.

Home Over IP:

Amazon, Apple, Google and the Zigbee Alliance announced a new working group that plans to develop and promote the adoption of a new, royalty-free connectivity standard to increase compatibility among smart home products, with security as a fundamental design tenet. Zigbee Alliance board member companies such as IKEA, Legrand, NXP Semiconductors, Resideo, Samsung SmartThings, Schneider Electric, Signify (formerly Philips Lighting), Silicon Labs, Somfy and Wulian are also on board to join the working group and contribute to the project. The goal of the Connected Home over IP project is to simplify development for manufacturers and increase compatibility for consumers. The project is built around a shared belief that smart home devices should be secure, reliable and seamless to use. By building upon IP, the project aims to enable communication across smart home devices, mobile apps and cloud services, and to define a specific set of IP-based networking technologies for device certification.

Video Surveillance:

The global CCTV camera market is anticipated to generate substantial revenue of more than to USD 38 billion till 2021. Asia Pacific and America holds the largest share of the global market and act as one of the main driver for the market. According to “India CCTV Camera Market Outlook, 2021”, the India CCTV Camera market is expected to grow with a CAGR of more than 26 % in the period from 2016 to 2021. Technology wise non-IP dominates the Indian market but in the coming years IP is expected to take the lead soon. Non -IP technology constitutes of analog and HD CCTV cameras. Analog is technology which is in a depleting stage and it share is expected to be taken by the IP technology and the HD type CCTV camera. Dome typed cameras are the most widely used cameras in any sectors. Commercial segment is the driver of the CCTV market in India with the increasing count of SOHO’s and SME’s. With the increasing security concerns, residential sector would also be one of the factors for the increasing market. As criminal activities are more in the northern region of India, North dominates the market in terms of revenue.

Facial Recognition:

Facial recognition is the common theme of the week’s top digital identity news with retail applications, new edge servers, and biometric border control deployments around the world. A new software partnership on biometric cryptography has also been announced, a report shows the importance of selfie biometrics in fraud reduction published, and the industry, as well as society more broadly, continues to contend with the issue of algorithmic bias. Facial recognition solutions identify a person by forming a unique code built on algorithms from multiple points on a person’s face, including nose, chin, lips, eyes and jaw. However, when a person wears a mask, many of these key points are not visible. Faces were often completely missed, and unsuccessful or false identifications were high. Those are know this wearing masks can reduce the accuracy they avoid to take Facial recognition

Video Verification:

The city currently has over 1,000 video surveillance cameras deployed across the metropolitan area and is expected to reach over 1,700 security devices. Now it’s very difficult to watch every moment on comment control center. It’s very important to see what camera saw. Through Video Auditing software the task are easy. Day by day its increase.

Rise of Mobile Credentials:

There has been a tremendous uptick in the popularity of mobile credentials. Research firm IHS Markit has reported that mobile-based credentials are the fastest-growing access control product. Globally they have experienced nearly a 150 percent growth between 2017 and 2018. Estimates show that more than 120 million mobile credentials will be downloaded in 2023 by end users. A 2019 survey by HID estimated that 54% of businesses had upgraded or would upgrade to a mobile access control system in the next three years. Though access cards still play a powerful role in the access control market, we are seeing a strong shift towards mobile access control like various companies. The use of mobile-based credentials is the logical next step for the physical security and access control industry. The fact that people are always with their smartphone helps popularise this trend. Phones aren’t just phones anymore. They play a bigger role in day-to-day life and this also includes access control. Mobile credentials can revolutionise the industry, eliminating the need to carry and wipe a card. Instead, a phone’s technology can be used to authenticate identity and grant entry. This gives greater flexibility, improves privacy and can also lower the maintenance costs of credential management for end users. Additionally, a clear advantage is that employees are more likely to carry their smartphone with them and less likely to lose them compared to NFC transponders.

The advantages of using virtual access control cards, which are stored on smartphones, are obvious: less logistics when distributing, revoking or replacing cards and many more ways to integrate with technology on the phone or other hosts and devices in the network. Often also the user experience of mentioned as a benefit of mobile access: users do not have to fill up their wallets with a pile of RFID cards but can conveniently carry them around in their phone. The networking capacity of smartphones would even be a great way to overcome the limitations of offline access control installations where access rights would be stored on smartphones instead of cards.

Security in the cloud:

After the entrance of IP-networking in security around twenty years ago, it is one of the major current trends in our industry: cloud based security systems. In the context of physical security one could define cloud based systems as those systems with a topology that looks like this:

·       A server that is ‘in the cloud’ and can be accessed from virtually anywhere;

·       Devices that connect over an IP-network to that central server;

·       Web based administration of the system;

·       Commercially based on a service or transaction model with recurring fees.

Variations exist. But in general this pretty much sums up what to expect when reviewing a cloud based system.

We see this set-up currently already in several categories:

·               Video Intercom Systems, like the systems from Akuvox, which are based on video intercom stations that connect to a cloud based server, which also enables use of apps as virtual door phones.

·   Mobile access systems that enable the use of virtual credentials on smartphones. and that are managed from a cloud based server.

·               Video management software now also is offered by several vendors as a cloud service, for example: 3dEYE, Open Eye, and VIVOTEK.

IoT security topologies:

The Internet of Things idea has been around for ages. It was predicted over a decade ago that billions of device will connect to the Internet. Sensors all around us will deliver data to the cloud. Feeding data into ‘big data’ processing applications that will give us access to a wealth of information. Devices also connect the cloud. To be part of applications that can be used and managed from virtually any location. For security it would mean that it very much is related to cloud based security applications. The additional step here would be that camera’s, readers, intercoms, intrusion detection sensors and biometric stations would connect directly to the cloud based service. Installations would be easier and more scalable. Access control systems could be deployed at any door and still be real online access control systems. Video surveillance would be available at any location that would require security monitoring. Security sensors and devices can be rolled out everywhere.

Smartphones and wearables

Using smartphones or other wearable devices in security has been a popular idea for many years. Smartphones and tablets often can be used to access the administration Interface (GUI) of the access control, video management or PSIM systems. That hardly is considered an innovation. Smartphones can also be used as virtual access control and identity cards in mobile acess systems. In addition it appears that also biometrics like facial recognition and fingerprint identification are now available on smartphones. It appears logical that smartphones with their native connectivity features are an interesting extension of security systems.

Mobile credentials enable both multimodal and multi-factor authentication. Multimodal means proving identity and/or gaining access using at least two separate biometrics, or permitting access through any one of various credentials, such as a smartcard or PIN. Multi-factor authentication involves proving identity and/or obtaining access via at least two methods or credentials. Multi-factor authentication is widely used in digital access. For example, when an employee logs onto a company’s system, he or she must use a secondary method to verify identity via a one-time token via SMS or other app. It is also burgeoning in physical access applications. Although two-factor authentication has been mandated in regulated industries, it is emerging in unregulated verticals as well. The development of multimodal readers will continue to fuel this trend.

Believers say that people prefer carrying around their smartphone over additional cards. They refer to the technical possibilities that smartphones offer in areas like user convenience and integration of systems.

Identity analytics and AI

A relatively new field in security is identity analytics. Seeing through identity and security related data in an automated way. To monitor use of access priviliges and consequently alter those access rights. The idea comes from the IT industry and that is where you will see it deployed mostly now. Recent research indicates that this is an emerging market with high anticipated growth potential. It would make sense to include physical security into these applications.

Believers will say that, like with video analytics, many more security related events can be actively monitored, more incidents can be detected and a tighter security regime can be implemented without hindering users unnecessarily.

It remains to be seen what the future will bring exactly. But intelligent security related data analytics certainly will have a place in modern enterprise security management applications.

Centralized Control of Fire Detection:

The principle of networking involves connecting several panels together to form a system. Inputs on one panel may activate outputs on another, for example, or the network may allow monitoring of many systems. Networking is often used in situations where one panel is not large enough, or in multiple-building situations. Networking is also an effective way to decouple systems to reduce the risk of a large portion of a facility going offline at any time due to system failure or maintenance requirements. Sub-Networks can be created using either hardware or software architectures. Networked systems normally are more costly and involve additional training and system configuration for successful implementation.

From this year many customer implement centralised monitoring & controlling of Fire Panel through creating WLAN communication with Graphic software. Due to cost effective graphical monitoring control software only industrial & Enterprise business implement the same. Also it will possible if same brand panel is there in all location.

BMS Workforce:

The growth of IBMS market is observing hindrance due to lack of availability of skilled workforce. The Intelligent building management systems are usually complex and require skilled personals to operate. The cost of training operators to handle complex equipment such as HVAC control, outdoor controls, security and access control, energy management systems and smart meters is quite high. Owing to which, small scale companies cannot afford to invest large capital to train their operators. This factor is likely to affect the growth of the IBMS market in the country.

But due to COVID-19 many OEM & society presence webinar program to educate more. This will be effect in this 2021-22. The region segmentation for the IBMS market has been done by South India, West India, North India, East India. Which include general lighting controls, communication systems, security controls, HVAC controls, access controls, outdoor controls entertainment controls and others. The India IBMS market is segmented by application into: hospitality, residential and retail, life science, office space, manufacturing, and energy and infrastructure. All these segments have also been estimated on the basis of geography in terms of revenue (USD Million).

The goal of building management systems was—and still is—to help optimize building performance by

·       Providing data on core building operational systems, specifically HVAC. 

·       Enabling the automatic control of a building’s main operating functions. 

IoT for buildings has the same goal of performance optimization (and by extension, saving money) through data and automatic control, but advanced technology takes these aspects many steps further than a traditional BMS system can. 

We wish you all the very best for 2021 and we look forward to working with you for many years to come.

India and China relation effect in Surveillance Market

 India and China relation effect in Surveillance Market

India faces trade imbalance heavily in favour of China. The two countries failed to resolve their border dispute and Indian media outlets have repeatedly reported Chinese military incursions into Indian territory. Both countries have steadily established military infrastructure along border areas.

Major Issues Between India And China

•      LAC issues – Border demarcation has been a major issue between India and China. ..
•     Water Disputes – The 4 Rivers flowing from China to India are the crucial source of water for some Indian states. ...
•     Dali Lama – India's step to shelter Dalai Lama, who has taken shelter in Dharamshala, after his exile.

According to Indian sources, melee fighting on 15/16 June 2020 resulted in the deaths  of 20  Indian soldiers (including an officer) and casualties of 43 Chinese soldiers (including death of an officer). ... On the Indian side ten soldiers were reported to have been taken captive while the Chinese numbers remain unconfirmed.

Many Indians largely blame China for the origin of the coronavirus, and criticize its lack of disclosure, its influence on the WHO, and what are seen as its efforts to take diplomatic or commercial advantage of the crisis. Because of COVID-19, China's GDP contracted 6.8% during the first quarter of 2020, the country’s first quarterly economic retrenchment in decades, according to data released April 17 by the National Bureau of Statistics of China. Thus, India’s government has announced restrictions on foreign direct investment from countries that share a land boundary with India — a move clearly directed against China. It has also been proactive in its neighborhood with diplomatic outreach, economic aid, technical assistance, and the provision of medical supplies.

Outside of China, the pandemic has severely affected the production of video surveillance equipment in areas where the equipment is being made, such as India, Vietnam, and Brazil, as factories remained shuttered under lockdown orders. It is difficult to say when production in these areas will resume since virus spread and containment efforts differ for each country.

To ensure that social distancing norms and the home ministry’s standard operating procedures are being followed, the government will ask all major companies that reopen with permits to share their CCTV footage.
“We will make it mandatory for all bigger organisations to share CCTV footage. We will set up a control room where our industry department will monitor this feed to ensure that the social distancing norms are being followed,” said additional chief secretary and GMDA chief VS Kundu. Besides this, officials from the labour department as well as Haryana State
Industrial Development Corporation (HSIDC) will constantly monitor the factories. “We will also form teams of volunteers who will conduct random checks at the industry premises to see that the SOPs are being followed,” said Kundu. You need to audit video footage what your camera saw. As far as the construction sites are concerned, only those projects that have made arrangements for the workers’ accommodation at the site will be allowed to reopen.

China alone in 2019 accounted for approximately 90% of the worldwide production of video surveillance camera units, and its domestic surveillance market represented 47% of worldwide global market revenue, Omdia estimates, as shown by the chart below. 

Contactless technology was an inevitable demand that COVID-19 brought with it. Realizing this at an early stage of the pandemic. Facial recognition could grant access or unlock a door without physical contact, but in many instances, you would still need to open a door by touching its handle. To deal with this, manufacturer offered motorized swing door and sliding door operators. At exits, recommended touch-free buttons that could open the doors. But Facial recognition is costly, their capacity is lower than fingerprint-based systems, and chances of error are more. Even in a global pandemic, researchers are crawling the internet for photos of people wearing face masks to improve facial recognition algorithms...so, yes, the technology will continue to evolve and continue to be used.

 

The customers, on their part, are keen on these solutions, but because the Indian government had implemented a country-wide lockdown for almost six months from March, sales have been less. Even though the country-wide lockdown was lifted in May, regional lockdowns and restrictions continue, and many customers are still reluctant to decide to invest. Also need to remember India is a highly cost-sensitive economy. This reason Indian people depends on china low cost zero quality product. Some high-end customers, like a pharmaceutical company they upgrading from their existing fingerprint scanners is a significant capital investment decision because they have hundreds of readers across their premises. So, the market may take a final decision only after observing the developments of a vaccine or cure for COVID-19.

 

Some Si' s received an inquiry for a facial recognition-based access control solution, integrated with thermal screening and mask detection, where they categorically said not to go for Chinese products. Although there are customers interested in contactless access control technology, the Indian market appears to have taken a wait-and-watch strategy for now. However, the spread of the virus in the next few months would play a critical role in the decision-making process. By the end of this year or early next, we would get a clearer picture.

For a global security solutions provider, entering the Indian market begins with understanding the local customer’s requirements. But this is not easy, as the Indian market is fragmented and diverse, making it close to impossible to reach every end customer without investing heavily in a high-budget marketing plan. Security systems integration industry in India is not as organized as it should be. Delays in decision making are common in Indian public sector projects. Often there are also a lot of uncertainties because of political reasons. Post-sales challenges differ from customers to customers. Each project has its own set of challenges. These call for several levels of permissions that they are required to seek from different government bodies like National Highway Authorities, Railway Authorities, and other local authorities, before installation, which is another set of challenges during the execution stage.

 

Video Surveillance market especially regarding IP-based surveillance systems, is the customer’s lack of knowledge on what they want to buy. They compare IP Surveillance systems with IP devices that are used in general networking/LAN. The problem is that LAN/WAN is focused more on the network or the backend. For IP surveillance, they need to pay attention to the camera as it is the major component, apart from other network devices. This is where the price sensitivity issues that have become a nightmare for foreign vendors in India resurface. Competition from Chinese manufacturers is a challenge to SIs working with premium solution providers. Mr. Arindam Bhadra, Technical director of SSA Integrate said” “With the presence of various low-quality Chinese products, the biggest challenge for us is to convince our customers to buy products, which, although high in pricing, offers a better quality coupled with world-class technology. Still, many customers take cameras as just a device to watch the videos rather than for security surveillance. So, educating the customer and convincing them on the quality of products is the major challenge. Even they not bother type of cyber certification, UL etc.”

Cybersecurity threat mitigation awareness in the customer is not yet mature and, in such cases, we recommend products that follow best cybersecurity practices to ensure the IP Surveillance equipment doesn’t become the weakest link on the network. Marketing to end customers could be a possible solution, as this would support SIs in their efforts to convince the customer to not just focus on the price factor. When you combine this with steps to create more awareness of cybersecurity issues, customers will have a better understanding of what it takes to protect their surveillance data.

Several public video surveillance vendors in China have now released their Q1 financial reports that show their business being impacted at different levels. Revenue fell by 5% at Hikvision, by 19% at Dahua, by 36% at Kedacom, and rose just 0.5% at China Transinfo, the parent company of Uniview. The reversals are likely due to halted or delayed government-driven video surveillance projects as well as stagnant demand in the enterprise and small and medium business sector because of COVID-19.

Now I share one real life experience, happened with Nagpur based Si’s ACE Technologies, Mr. Ashish Agrawal said

“I would rather lose a order of 70 lakh than compromise on my nations security by Quoting on Manipulation done by Hikvision, Dahua, UNV or CP Plus.

For me Nation comes 1st.

May be emotional fool, but a Proud Indian at Heart.

Today i have rejected a customer asking me specs of these Chinese oem's. Kam profit hoga this FY, but at heart I'm happy that I've done my bit in securing safety and sovereignty of my Nation. My Tribute and Respect soldiers who laid down their lives for our security and security of this Great Nation from Pakis and Chinese. Many undercover we even don't know.

 

May be from business i made foolish decision, but not at cost of My Country.

 

It's time we as Indirect Security solution providers should stand together in supporting Safety, Sovereignty and Security of Our Nation.”

At last someone had to start, he did a bit. May be few SI's who have moral ethics and feelings for Nation can also do. Also few people who have sold souls and heart to Chinese companies can come back and Stand for their Nation.

 

Finally, dealing with government projects in India requires people who are familiar with how the system works. A potential solution some vendors have already considered is hiring such people to work as intermediaries. In a market like India, foreign vendors would always be better off with a reliable local representative. A lot of their success could depend on how efficient this representative could be.

Boycotting Chinese products & use NDAA approved video surveillance is correct process in new normal Indian society. Manufacturers wish and expect to make their products entirely in India in a few years, but there is much to be done before the country reaches that stage. “Make in India” is not as easy as it sounds. But “assemble in India” is good word.

DRI in Video Surveillance

DRI in Video Surveillance

Wish you a very happy new year 2018. In today’s competitive environment, having new customers constantly is one of the keys of success. To make professional quotes with proper sketches, realistic test objects, 3D images, mock ups etc, which leave a lasting impression on your clients.

When you are answering queries related to your product, you can quickly glance through the details while your client is on call.

DRI stands for Detection, Recognition and Identification in video surveillance. DRI ranges, expressed in meters, km (or miles), can be found in the specification table of infrared camera brochures. In order to select the right sensor meeting the application requirements, these DRI ranges have to be, first, perfectly defined, but also assessed with regards to globally adopted industrial standards.

DRI Definition

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, boat …)
• Identification: ability to describe the object in details (a man with a hat, a deer, a Jeep …)

The following pictures illustrate these definitions:

    Left image: Detection – At several kms, 2 targets are detected out of the background 

    Center image: Recognition - a human is walking along the fence 

    Right image: Identification – 2 males with trousers and jackets are identified – one is smoking.

We detect an object when it enters the field of view. Detection means we are aware that an object (or person) now exists where previously it was not seen. Usually, this is due to movement of the object into the field of view of the surveillance camera. Detection simply means we are aware of the object, but have too little details to recognize or identify the object.

As the object moves closer, we may recognize the object from characteristics previously encountered. For example, aircraft recognition is taught to military ground troops and airmen. All aircraft have wings, engines, a fuselage, and tail assembly. They differ in size, shape, number, and position to each other. A particular model of aircraft can be recognized by recalling these characteristics from pictures, drawings or past detailed observations.

Identification is the process where sufficient details are available to uniquely discern a person or object that is previously unknown. Identification requires sufficient detail to accurately describe or recall the characteristics of the subject at a later time. For example, a mug shot (booking photograph) is taken following the arrest of a subject as a means of photographing (recording) sufficient details for later identification by a victim or witness. In video surveillance terms, sufficient detail is calibrated in pixels per foot of the area recorded by the camera.

DRI Ranges

“A picture is worth a thousand words” goes the old and equally wise saying. It is true that most human beings learn much quicker when aided by visuals rather than pure text as that is more in tune with the human psychology of learning.

So instead of remembering commands and functions you will easily remember that yellow color indicates areas where it is possible to recognize people, red color indicates areas suitable for people identification, green areas for detection and so forth.

To put this in perspective, sensors have a resolution of 640×480 which is over 300,000 pixels.
Human “detection” only requires 3.6 of those pixels and “identification” only requires 230 pixels, which is an extraordinarily small amount on the screen that can easily go unnoticed by the human eye. In fact, if this page were the size of your video feed, the area required for a human detection rating is about equivalent to a lowercase letter “i” in this text. The amount of detail visible at the detection, recognition and identification distances is not as high as one might expect, as can be seen in the chart below.

Another thing that is often not mentioned is that these ratings are based on what is termed “ideal conditions” which rarely happen in the real world. The average environmental application will get 25% less than the distance that the thermal camera is rated for and in extreme conditions can be less than 10% of the rated distance.

Based on SR-100 & SR-100P by FLIR the approximate DRI (Detection, Recognition and Identification) range for a vehicle and a human target is listed in Tables 1 & 2.

Lens	Detection	Recognition	Identification
100mm	4.4km	1.1km	580m

Table 1: DRI range for Vehicle with 2.3m critical dimension using a Thermal Security Camera with 38 micron pitch detector

Lens	Detection	Recognition	Identification
100mm	1.6km	400m	200m

Table 2: DRI range for Human Target using a Thermal Security Camera with 38 micron pitch detector

Assumptions:  50% probability of achieving objective at the specified distance given a   2-degree temperature difference and 0.85/km atmospheric attenuation factor.  Actual range may vary depending on camera setup, user experience, environmental conditions, and type of monitor or display used.

Each & every Camera has this DRI ranges, before preparing project oriented ppt, do confirm the ranges & show in a slide with sketch.

Stop Unwanted Visitor in the School premises

School Security – Stop Unwanted Visitor in the premises

The security of any organization is the major concern, whether it be a corporate house, a manufacturing unit or schools and colleges. We have previously discussed about the security concern of the corporate houses and other work places. But through this write-up I will focus light upon the security concern of Schools and colleges. Recent happening across the globe have sent a thrill for the security of school going kids. So the safety of kids is more important for any authority. Thus, in the course of providing security for kids or students, technologically updated security system is a must.

The major components of security for schools and colleges are security cameras for video surveillance, access control of the movements of the visitors, and visitor management system for maintaining the records.

Video Surveillance: - Probably one of the most important aspect of the security of schools and colleges is a video surveillance through security cameras. The reason for this is simple, as to keep an eye at each and every corner of the campus through cameras to know what is happening on the campus ground or any classroom or in corridors. Security cameras prevent vandalism, bullying, criminal activity and sexual predators. With surveillance you will always have a record of near school property or any unwanted movements. Video surveillance will help to protect the facility from potential lawsuits as well as protect students from intruders. This whole thing is impossible if done physically.

Access Control Solution: - Another crucial and important feature that plays an important role in the security of the school premises. It does not require anyone to keep waltzing into the facility as access control lets you monitor who comes and goes. You can also do the setting in the installed access control with pin and password, which can restrict the unwanted access in the premises. It helps to reduce or stop the unauthorized movements in the arena of school. Also, you can manage the groups accordingly restricting the movement in unauthorized zones. Access Control Solution will add a deepness in the security.

Visitor Management System: - Each visitor can be managed through visitor management system, keeping his/her complete records, including the concerned person or student with whom they have to meet. As this software generates the gate pass of the visitor with his/her photograph. Until and unless all these processes are not done, the access cannot be granted to enter the premises. This helps a lot to stop the unwanted movements and entry of intruders.

The safety of school kids is the major concern for any authority or school administration. So keeping these things in mind, one should look after the security of school premises. Though this one time investment can be benefiting many lives, as nothing is precious than LIFE.
