Dahua VTO9341D Face-recognition apartment outdoor station

Dahua Technology has recently launched a new apartment outdoor station VTO9341D, providing new access control solutions to fence and lobby entrance with the cutting-edge face recognition technology. The apartment outdoor station elevates the safety and convenience of resident security system to a new level with the fashionable nontouch face-recognition entry, while conventional unlocking ways are preserved in case of emergency. The product’s working temperature is between -20°C and 60°C, meaning it can operate smoothly across a variety of weather conditions and geographical areas. With a shell made of aluminium alloy plate, it meets IP55 standard for water and dust resistance, and IK07 standard for impact resistance. Further enhanced by the intrusion prevention system, the product will offer ideal ingress protection to property owners and facilitate the work of security guards. Face recognition Once a person steps into the 0.5 metre distance range of VTO9341D, that triggers its approaching induction, the 2MP CMOS image sensor captures the face high-definition color image for identification. In as quick as 0.5 second, it can complete recognition and open the door for the residents. With strong capacity to store up to 20000 faces, the system would suffice the demand of large housing estates or commercial lots. The auto gain control supplements white light to cope with poorly-lighted conditions, enabling night vision for the outdoor station. Multiple unlocking approaches VTO9341D is also equipped with Mifare card reader, fingerprint recognition (with a memory of 3000 fingerprints), and touch screen key pad, which provide multiple unlocking approaches via card, fingerprint and password. Working together with VTS5240B Master Station that can forward image to mobile devices, owners can even enjoy the remote unlock function while away from home. Additionally, the audio system supports bidirectional talk, which assists visitors and owners in dual-way communication as an auxiliary to face identification. As a high-end product with unique features and full market potential, VTO9341D will benefit both Dahua dealers and system integrators. With DSS EXPRESS monitoring access control & other Dahua exclusive technologies, the apartment outdoor station would lower the time cost of integration and maintenance. With a mission of ‘enabling a safer society and smarter living,’ Dahua Technology will continue to focus on ‘innovation, quality and service’ to serve partners and customers around the world.

Nedap’s !D Cloud Software Selected for Largest RFID Deployment in Nordic Retail Market

Voice Norge AS selected !D Cloud, Nedap’s leading RFID software platform, for the RFID roll-out to their 200 stores in Norway. The roll-out, which was completed within 6 months, is the largest RFID deployment in the Nordic retail market to date. Johnny Ottesen, CEO at Voice, commented, “We realized that we needed to significantly raise our stock accuracy to improve our on-shelf product availability and enable true omnichannel. In !D Cloud, we found the best solution, because it is scalable, easy to use and easy to integrate with our Infor M3 ERP-software, which enables a fast large-scale deployment.” The full roll-out was preceded by a pre-rollout in four stores, resulting in 98+% stock accuracy, which led to a better product availability and an increase in sales. Based on these results, Voice decided to roll out the !D Cloud solution to their 200 stores in the Voice chain, which includes the Match, VIC and Boys of Europe stores. “We are proud that our !D Cloud software was selected by Voice, which is the largest RFID deployment in the Nordics to date.

Bosch Delivering Future-Proof Security

Located one hour outside of London, the borough of Runnymede is a local government district with over 80,000 residents in the county of Surrey. It is one of the most prosperous parts of the London commuter belt and home to some of the UK’s most expensive real estate. In order to enhance public safety, the borough council contracted service provider Safer Runnymede. Working with Nottinghamshire based systems integrator Central Security Systems, the experts installed a platform combining public safety technology with personal safety services such as care solutions for the elderly. Today, Safer Runnymede coordinates all connected solutions in a control room in the town of Addlestone, where a staff of three operators monitor security feeds from over 500 security cameras deployed around various boroughs within Surrey. Next to public streets in the area, the flexible system also monitors schools, hospitals and other public buildings around the clock. Every year, the team responds to 20,000 incidents from cameras, and the video security system has proven an asset in monitoring traffic, preventing crime, as well as providing evidence and following suspects after incidents. But achieving this level of integration was a challenge. Initially, the video security system consisted of hardware from several different manufacturers including Bosch – making updates or replacements a timeconsuming process – that was networked on a Bosch video recording management (VRM) solution. Looking for a future-proof and scalable system built on an integrated software platform, the officials in Runnymede tasked Bosch to design a fully IP-based security camera architecture. Since the Safer Runnymede system already included a Bosch monitor wall plus encoders, cameras, VRM and storage devices, system integrators could leverage the initial investment into a full suite of Bosch solutions. The system now combines new high-resolution AUTODOME IP 4000, AUTODOME IP 7000, MIC IP 7000 moving cameras, and FLEXIDOME IP 7000 fixed cameras, plus older Bosch and third-party analog cameras paired with encoders, decoders, and DIVAR IP 3000, 5000, 6000, and 7000 recorders. Connecting these solutions via the Bosch video management system (BVMS) allowed Runnymede to become one of the first councils to invest in a fully IP-based infrastructure. As a result, Safer Runnymede has benefited from superior image quality delivered by the added network video security cameras, without the need of replacing the complete existing analogue video security infrastructure; all in a resilient and easily expandable sys tem at a reduced total cost of ownership (TCO). What’s more, the customer has used the flexibility of Bosch solutions in a deployable video surveillance camera at remote locations. Installed in a custom-built enclosure provided by Central Security Systems, it streams video data from an AUTODOME IP 4000 camera via 4G and sends alerts via SMS to the control room upon detecting activity such as illegal waste dumping. Migrating from a fragmented, analog system to an integrated IP network managed via BVMS (Bosch video management system) has proven a forwardfacing decision. “The flexible system design and management has provided an integrated approach to our business delivery, allowing us to make better operational decisions and become more dynamic and competitive in the video surveillance marketplace,” says Les Bygrave at Safer Runnymede.
