The UK prioritises the protection of Critical Infrastructure through the National Security and Investment Act (2016). Previously, the Centre for the Protection of National Infrastructure shouldered this responsibility.
Covering an area of 4.6 square kilometers, the industrial site Infraserv Höchst, Germany, is a veritable ‘town within a town’. It has its own railway, its own harbor, and its own fire brigade. Ninety chemical and pharmaceutical companies are located here that together employ some 22,000 people. Infraserv Höchst’s business is location development, and they are experts in the provision of chemicals-related services. The Danger Prevention department of the Site Management division is headed up by Linda Voigtländer. GIT SECURITY spoke with her.
According to Blickfeld, the Blickfeld QbProtect is the first smart LiDAR that, thanks to analysis software, standard interfaces, and a web GUI on-device, provides directly usable results concerning unauthorized entry. Object size detection leads to a remarkably low false alarm rate.
Just like GIT SECURITY EMEA, Navtech Radar is celebrating a milestone achievement this year. The company recently produced its 5000th radar, so we spoke with Navtech’s Product Manager for Security, Simonas Mikuzis, to find out how Navtech’s work has evolved since it was founded in 1999, and how he sees the important issues in radar security today.
How to balance the strengths and weaknesses of both methods for effective perimeter protection.
Commercial Director, Matteo Capelli, at Cias talks about video analytics and why it has limitations in external perimeter detection, as well as real time communication between CCTV and PIDS. GIT SECURITY has asked leaders in Perimeter Protection to give a concrete outlook.
The complete protection of critical infrastructure, in particular in the energy and supply sector, has been a mainstay of Senstar for many years, a provider of integrated security solutions that include video technology, access control and sensors for perimeter protection. GIT SECURITY spoke with the new CEO of Senstar GmbH Michael Rumpf and Head of Sales John Rosenbusch about the company’s strategy for the near future – among other things also the continuation of the organic growth and expansion of their partner network.
It can be a challenge for even the most experienced security professional to secure solar farms and solar fields. In contrast to many other industries, solar farms are large, open-air facilities that are often located in isolated, unfenced areas and are therefore at risk of vandalism and theft.
Tailored video security technology from Dallmeier provides perimeter security and workplace safety.
What providers need to know and do to safeguard premises of critical infrastructures.
Advanced sensing technologies provide the ability to locate the exact point of intrusion in real time.
GIT System Test Video Analytics (GSTVA) will be back in 2023. The new GIT System Test Perimeter Protection (GSTPP) test series expands the scope of testing.
Sorhea opens office in Germany and launches a new generation of infrared barriers.
To prevent theft or damage of any kind, timing is essential: being able to quickly detect intrusion increases the chances of dealing with and deterring any potential threat or crime.
Dual Sensor Analytics (DSA) is an innovative video analytic capability developed by Sightlogix to improve intruder detection reliability for smart cameras used outdoors. DSA intelligently compares the results from both thermal and visible sensors simultaneously to deliver trusted alarms in difficult outdoor situations.
A2A, the most important Italian utilities manager, chooses CIAS for the perimeter protection of its critical infrastructures.
During the GIT System Test Video Analytics, GIT SECURITY spoke with the two experts Markus Piendl and Eng. Hannes Dopler, MSc. on the subject of lighting and why good lighting can make or break perimeter protection projects.
GIT SECURITY hosted the first independent test of video systems for perimeter detection together with the expert office of Markus Piendl (SMP) and the system house i-Alarmsysteme.
Keeping visitors out is the exact opposite of what the organizers of Perimeter Protection 2023 want to achieve, but it lies at the heart of 130 exhibitors waiting to demonstrate their concepts, products and solutions at the exhibition center in Nuremberg from 17–19 January.
Optex takes a multi-tiered approach to security with new LiDAR upgrade and an indoor detector launch to give installers two sensors in one!
Radar functionalities can be added to existing cameras that are already mounted at prime locations.
A security system for a complex and highly articulated perimeter
Giorgio Finaurini speaks about how detector settings can be changed remotely
Putting bounding boxes around detected objects and record relevant metadata
Radars increased the total protection of the perimeter as well as the area of continual monitoring
A sensor fusion system might detect simultaneous fence vibration AND camera movement, yet still be able to recognize a false alarm
Maximum synergy between anti-intrusion technologies, with the innovative integration between deep learning analysis and digital fuzzy logic sensors proposed by CIAS.
Theft of solar modules is not uncommon these days. Reports of burglaries in solar parks and photovoltaic plants indicate that organized gangs are at work here. But high replacement costs and the failure of an entire plant because of minor defects or faults are a major problem for the operator. Critical mobile phone and power grid connections of the isolated solar parks are an additional risk factor. Alarm.direct, a service provider for security solutions, has specialized in solar park security in various European countries, Canada and the Dominican Republic, and has developed comprehensive concepts to protect against the theft of plant components such as copper cables, solar panels, inverters, against vandalism and the consequent operational failures.
In this series, GIT SECURITY EMEA asks three questions to five industry experts about the issue's special focus. This time we asked five experts for their view on video analytics for perimeter protection.
TDSi announce, they will be showcasing its range of integrated access control solutions at Intersec in Dubai, 16th-18th January 2022. Joining TDSi on Stand SA-F37 in the Saeed Arena will be its Vitaprotech sister company, Sorhea, which will also be showing its innovative perimeter intrusion detection solutions.
The trade journals GIT SECURITY EMEA and GIT SICHERHEIT from the Wiley publishing house is once again organising the virtual Wiley Industry Days, WIN>DAYS for short, from 15-17 February 2022 together with renowned companies and institutions.
A famous luxury brand factory was being built next to the historical one. This huge project included a complete revamping of the security systems starting from the perimeter systems.
Distribution centres are a critical part of the supply chain and of any company’s business operation. Their security is paramount to protect not only the items stored, but also the fleet of vehicles parked within their sites.
Keeping up logistics, shipping on high seas and waterways is a business which needs to be carefully run on big trade ports, rivers or passages, especially on the word trading routs. We could get an impression of what happens, if sea traffic comes to a stand during the past month when Suez Canal was blocked. Logistics in Ports and waterways is a high-security topic, which is why GIT SECURITY collected some of the security technologies on the market that help keeping up the flow of logistics safe and secure.
