For modern video technology in public spaces, numerous elements need to be coordinated, and knowledge needs to be built up quickly. There are decisions to be made, approval procedures, public discussion, planning, identifying synergies and, last but not least, selecting the appropriate technology for a city surveillance project. This article intends to provide help with that decision.

Banks, of course, want people to come into their branches, just not all the time and not everywhere. Add to this the necessity for compliance with (inter)national security regulations for the banking industry. They are faced with restricting access to certain areas of the property to authorized people at valid times of day or night. Easy, you might think. Let us take a closer look at the headaches that this subject can cause for security managers, and some aspirins to relieve them.

“A gas discharge between two electrodes!” This is the definition of an electric arc. If an arc like this occurs in an environment involving high energies, an enormously hot plasma with extremely strong luminosity is created through which current flows continuously. The arc also creates a massive pressure wave that results in a loud bang. This undesirable occurrence in electrical installations is correspondingly dangerous. It is referred to in this context as an arc fault. In addition to the significant damage that such arc faults can cause in the affected installations themselves, they also pose a direct threat to the life and limb of everyone who carries out their work in environments of this nature. As a specialist for electrical occupational safety, Dehn assists in creating a comprehensive arc fault protection concept to ensure better protection for people and installations.
