Organizations worldwide are witnessing the power of cutting-edge video to drive a return to business as (almost) usual. But while the technology itself is vital, it’s only one part of the process. In this article Hikvision's experts explore the Health, Safety and Welfare Policy that businesses should operate alongside their technology investment.
The concept of learning at schools is one of openness and having one’s own sense of responsibility. With regard to entrances, corridors, doors, lockers and cabinets however, supervision is unavoidable in these times because it concerns the security of everyone present in the building. An intelligent lock and access management system, such as the 3060 system from SimonsVoss Technologies, secures the entrances, documents all entries and exits, assigns temporary authorization and protects teachers and children in an emergency.

Matthias Erler of GIT SECURITY asked Ludwig Bergschneider of Abetechs (Grundig-Security) about it.
Skills for Security, Britain’s largest Electronic Fire and Security training provider has awarded Matthew Aindow Apprentice of the Year after scoring 93% in his End Point Assessment (EPA).
A significant aspect of security surveillance is motion detection. With a small movement, people or vehicles reveal their presence. Their movement makes them stand out from static objects, installations, and the environment. This way, a movement can be clearly identified in an area meant to be protected. In order to expose burglars, it is also important for monitoring to be as inconspicuous as possible – and for it to preferably go completely unnoticed. This can be achieved through the use of sensors that monitor the activities invisibly and without contact. They provide the digital movement information conveniently from a distance and serve as triggers for automated security measures.
Axis Communications has launched Axis Q6135-LE, a high-speed PTZ camera with OptimizedIR up to 250 m / 820 ft range. It features the new generation chip with improved imaging, enhanced security features, extended capabilities for analytics, and significantly more efficient video compression.

Security is brought sharply into focus at the latest whenever an incident occurs and the press report extensively on the event, the background to it, the people affected by it and, quite often, the political consequences. What is not in the public eye is that thousands of well-thought-out security systems around the world are quietly doing their job and preventing many more incidents from happening in the first place. The hotel environment poses its own particular set of challenges to effective security, and the manufacturers of systems tailor-made for this industry have the corresponding answers. GIT SECURITY looks at just some of the many solutions on the market today.
It happens in every cops and robbers film at some point: the detectives assigned to find out who robbed the bank scan through the CCTV recording to get their first clue on who the bandits might be. The older the film, the more grainy, and useless, the images are, which is in stark contrast to the high standard of today’s HD images. But looking after the event is only half the story – today’s systems can to some extent even predict a crime about to happen. Without touching on the subject of IT ‘cyber’ security – with which we could easily fill a whole issue of the magazine – GIT SECURITY takes a look at video surveillance and also other physical security solutions specifically conceived for the banking industry.
The latest addition to the Wisenet P ‘Premium’ camera series removes the risk that important video evidence might be missed when there is a need to monitor two adjacent sides of a building.
Each time home security system is triggered, there is a large chance for it to be just a false alarm, and if such alarm is not verified as false in short time, there is a high probability the emergency responders get to the place to see nothing happened. Not only such situations are embarrassing for everyone involved, they are also costly and overall troublesome.

Security teams using traditional motion detection technologies regularly experience false alarms caused by everything from heavy rain to falling leaves, flowing water, or even passing wildlife. To help teams identify and respond to real security breaches faster, Hikvision has embedded its flagship AcuSense technology in its Motion Detection functionality, which supports identification of human and vehicle targets, and take security teams straight to the video evidence they need.
The evolution of infrastructure transmission technology continues to drive the expansion of networks and security systems, allowing edge devices to be located at much greater distances from headend operations. With the fast pace of new technologies and migration to the IoT, understanding cabling infrastructure will help ensure that the best solutions are deployed securely and cost-effectively. We’ve witnessed the expansion of networked systems over the past 35 years, and with the ubiquitous landscape of Internet Protocol (IP) standards now propelling even more connected functionality, the demand for faster, more expansive cable networks continues to grow.
