Maximize Site Security 24×7 with Hikvision DarkFighterS and DarkFighterX

MassMediaLink India LLP SecurityLink IndiaNovember 14, 2023November 28, 202407 mins

Security incidents don’t just happen during daylight hours. To ensure that organizations can protect their sites, assets, and people 24×7, Hikvision has created a new generation of ultra-low-light video imaging technologies – DarkFighterS and DarkFighterX. Organizations need to ensure that their sites, assets and people are secured and protected 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. This requires security technologies that can safeguard perimeter walls and fences and provide crystal-clear, full-color video images of security incidents, even in poorly lit areas, or at night. To give companies this high-level of protection at industrial sites, logistics parks, ports and airports, and in a range of other settings, Hikvision has developed two innovative technologies, DarkFighterS and DarkFighterX. DarkFighterS: Maximizing security with ‘smart’ lighting options Hikvision’s DarkFighterS cameras use three key technology innovations to improve security in low-light conditions. These features all start with ‘S’, which is why the technology is called DarkFighterS. They are: Hikvision’s Surprising Low-Light Imaging, which is able to collect more light to produce brighter images, and which uses F1.0 fixed lens and advanced sensors to vastly increase vividness and clarity in ultra-low light conditions. Hikvision’s innovative, industry-leading Super Confocal Lenses, which are designed with precision at the micron level. This means that the point of focus for the visuallight images and the infrared images is virtually the same, which not only prevents blurring of the images, but also allows for master-level focus and long lasting, high-definition images. Hikvision’s Smart Hybrid Light technology, which allows the camera to record in IR while everything is quiet. However, when an incident happens, the camera’s ‘Smart’ mode turns on a supplemental white light and initiates recording in full-color using the visible light spectrum. This ability has a number of important benefits. First, cameras are able to maintain infrared illumination at night, and record video discreetly in low-light conditions, without giving away the camera’s location. Second, the cameras often startle intruders and stop them in their tracks when the supplemental white light comes on, helping to prevent loss or damage to property. Third, all incidents are recorded in full color and full detail due to the camera’s supplemental white light being activated automatically. Examples of Hikvision DarkFighterS products include DarkFighterS DeepinView Moto Varifocal Bullet Cameras, 4MP Varifocal dome camera with DarkFighter, and 4MP Varifocal bullet cameras with DarkFighter. These cameras are ideal for scenarios and applications such as enterprise premises and industrial parks, especially for the place where little or no movement is expected at night and where discretion is needed to ensure that intruders do not know where security cameras are located. DarkFighterX: Enabling sharp, full-color imaging for large sites, areas and scenarios in near-total darkness For large areas and applications, DarkFighterX technology provides Hikvision’s most powerful night-vision capabilities. In particular, this ultra-low-light technology supports full-color, crystal-clear video imaging down to just 0.0002 lux. Hikvision cameras equipped with DarkFighterX technology use a large aperture lens and dual sensors to capture and combine visible-light video images and images based on infrared perception. By combining data from the two sensors using a technology called Bi-Spectral Fusion, these cameras are able to capture full-color, high-definition images – and even the plates of vehicles traveling at speed, in conditions of near-total darkness. Because DarkFighterX is built into 2, 4, and 8-megapixel Hikvision Speed Dome cameras and DeepinView multi-sensor bullet cameras, organizations benefit from a wide range of other security features at the same time, including optical zoom, rapid focus, and the ability to follow moving people or objects around the camera’s field of view. This makes them ideal for a range of large scenarios and applications, such as traffic management and enforcement, and security in expansive areas such as city squares, streets, farms, and many more. Hikvision’s innovative ultra-low-light technologies Hikvision has introduced multiple low-light technologies to help customers capture full-color, high-resolution video in near-total darkness. Alongside DarkFighterS and DarkFighterX, Hikvision also offers ColorVu for small and medium business customers.

Spain Dismantles Global MatchFixing Ring with INTERPOL Support

MassMediaLink India LLP SecurityLink IndiaNovember 14, 2023November 14, 202406 mins

INTERPOL Notices play key role in catching one of the group’s leaders The Spanish National Police, in cooperation with the Spanish Tax Agency, Europol and INTERPOL, have dismantled an organized crime group suspected of fixing sporting events as well as using technology to place bets ahead of bookmakers. So far, 23 suspects have been arrested, including one of the group’s leaders who was apprehended on the basis of an INTERPOL Red Notice for persons wanted internationally. The operation began in 2020 when Spanish officers detected a series of suspicious online sports bets placed on international table tennis events. After analysing available data, investigators identified a criminal network of Romanian and Bulgarian origin. Members of this crime ring fixed matches outside of Spain by corrupting athletes. Once the outcomes were agreed, crime group members based in Spain would then place online bets on a massive scale. Getting ahead of bookmakers Through their investigations, officers uncovered a criminal process whereby the group would access match information before bookmakers, allowing them to place bets with certainty and ultimately, cash in. Through advanced technology, they gained access to live video signals from around the world, straight from stadiums, pitches and arenas. Intercepting these signals gave them a clear advantage on bookmakers, who were dependent on slower satellite feeds and relays for the same events. The process was repeated across Asian and South American football leagues, UEFA Nations League, Bundesliga, Qatar 2022 World Cup matches and ATP and ITF tennis tournaments. Despite collecting significant payouts, the group avoided detection by using a multitude of identities and accounts. Among those arrested was a trader from a major bookmaker who, in collusion with the criminal group, would validate online bets placed by the criminal network. INTERPOL Notices decisive Through its Financial Crime and Anti-Corruption Centre, INTERPOL worked closely with authorities throughout the investigation, fully mobilizing members of the INTERPOL Match-Fixing Task Force (IMFTF) and using the full range of the Organization’s global policing capabilities. Three different INTERPOL Notices were published during the operation: A Purple Notice warning member countries of the modus operandi linked to the interception of satellite signals. A Blue Notice to obtain more information on the group’s leader. A Red Notice seeking the location and arrest of the group’s leader. “Organized crime groups will exploit the tiniest of gaps given the opportunity. In this case, we’re talking about a 20 or 30 second advantage that led to significant gains,” said INTERPOL Secretary General Jürgen Stock. “Successful operations such as the one led by Spain only reaffirm our engagement in ensuring our entire suite of Notices, databases and expert networks fully support police in closing these gaps,” concluded Mr. Stock. IMFTF specialists were also deployed to Spain to work alongside officers during house raids, facilitating the extraction and analysis of data from seized devices, cross-checking information across INTERPOL’s databases, helping track assets and money laundering channels. Some 47 bank accounts and 28 payment gateways were blocked across several countries. Seizures included mobile phones, satellite dishes and signal receivers, cash and counterfeit banknotes, credit and debit cards, identification documents and prepaid SIM cards. Additional arrests are anticipated as officers work to identify more members of the group, as well as athletes who accepted bribes. The outcomes of the operation were presented this week to IMFTF members during their annual meeting in Buenos Aires, Argentina, in a dedicated session restricted to law enforcement.

How eDVRs Deliver Stable Performance and Sustainable Value to Customers Stability is about delivering reliable and lasting performance – and that’s exactly what Hikvision’s new eDVR range does. With enduring storage and extremely low failure rates; the ability to withstand shocks and intense vibrations; and resilience in harsh environments, Hikvision eDVRs offer great long-term performance, maximized RoI, and sustainable value for customers. In recent years, there’re lots of discussions on what and how we produce and consume goods to ensure sustainable consumption and minimize the impact on the environment. One way of achieving this is to foster greener technologies, increase product durability, and extend product life, as stable-performing and long-lasting products can reduce the volume of raw materials used to produce goods, as well as decrease emissions from production and transportation. To create greener and more sustainable products, Hikvision ensures that all products are built on the guiding principles of stability. This also applies to the eDVR series, which provides unrivalled durability and sustainability for years and years of smooth performance. Here are the three key factors that ensure the long-term stability and resilience of Hikvision’s new eDVR range. Product longevity based on ‘enduring storage’ The eDVRs use eSSD chips instead of HDDs, which have multiple moving parts, such as rotating platters, spindles, and actuator arms. By eliminating mechanical moving parts from the storage drive, eSSD technology reduces internal wear and tear in the eDVR, and extends the product’s life cycle. This ensures that customers can maximize returns on their technology investments, and reduces carbon emissions related to replacing end-of-life equipment. Product resilience through strict quality control To ensure product quality, we make sure that the raw materials that make up the eSSDs are of high and stable quality. Aside from this, meticulous product design and strict testing standards also help to ensure excellent performance of the product in different application scenarios, year-after-year. To test and assure the stability and durability of the eDVRs, Hikvision submitted the eSSD chips that power them for testing and accreditation by the JEDEC Solid State Technology Association. During the JEDEC evaluation, the eSSD chips were tested for resilience during transport. They were also repeatedly cycled between temperature extremes (-55 to 125°C), and they were placed in an environment of 130°C with 85% relative humidity to test their moisture resistance in high temperatures. The stability of the chips was also tested at a consistently high temperature (150°C). The eSSD chips passed all of the demanding JEDEC tests, demonstrating their resilience and extensive lifespan. A new industry benchmark for shock and vibration resistance Traditional DVR hard disks can become unstable or corrupted in the event of intense shocks and vibrations – increasing the risk of unplanned downtime and video data loss. Hikvision’s new eDVRs, and the highly stable eSSD storage chips that power them, minimize these risks based on their ability to continue functioning normally in the event of drops and vibrations. In fact, Hikvision’s lab tests, conducted using a piece of equipment called a vibration table, show that the eDVRs were able to continue recording and showing video at an extremely high vibration intensity of 15Gs, at which point the experiment was ceased. This lab result shows sturdiness of at least 15 times more than some traditional DVR units with HDD storage, which typically withstand vibration intensity of up to around 1G. Thanks to its stability and durability, the eDVRs have set a new benchmark for the shock and vibration resilience of storage devices.

MassMediaLink India LLP SecurityLink IndiaNovember 14, 2023November 14, 202406 mins

Upgraded 350-camera system transforms security for Social Sciences University of Ankara (ASBU) IDIS Solution Suite VMS from the largest manufacturer of trusted South Korean-made video tech, has streamlined operations and transformed security for the Social Sciences University of Ankara (ASBU), Türkiye. ASBU’s historic city centre location, with its night-time economy, makes it the study destination of choice for around 5,500 students annually. But with such a busy site, the university also has to deal with an increased risk of incidents, including crime and anti-social behaviour. A 350-camera surveillance system, monitored 24/7 from ASBU’s dedicated control room, had been expanded several times over the years. But the resulting mix of six different vendor brands had left the VMS struggling, with froze live images, a hard-to-manage data burden, and difficult to use controls. IDIS integration partner 11S Savunma Sanayi ve Güvenlik Sistemleri was asked to devise the best upgrade route. In an on-site proof of concept demonstration, the company showed how IDIS’s VMS, IDIS Solution Suite, (ISS Expert) could quickly register all the mix-and-match cameras and devices, including recorders and a 3×3 video wall. With the project now completed, the result is eliminated complexity allowing seamless control, full functionality of all cameras regardless of the brand, and transformed ease-of-use for operators. They can now control the system from their workstations as well as from the video wall, with browser features allowing the university’s fire system to display on the same screen. IDIS MapVue is also being added, with a schematic showing the locations of the cameras, to improve domain awareness and make navigational playback easier. The IDIS solution is easy to maintain and expand, and a further 100 cameras will be added in the next phase of the project when two renovated accommodation buildings will also benefit from upgraded surveillance. The new cameras will include IDIS 12MP Fisheyes and domes, which are ideal for the historic setting where ceiling heights are up to 9m, and where full coverage with HD image capture is needed, with minimal structural modifications. To save bandwidth and reduce the storage burden, cameras in corridors, the basement, and other key areas have been set to record only when motion is detected, using a combination of IDIS Motion Adaptive Transmission, and ONVIF motion detection on the other brands. ASBU’s security team can now easily comply requests from law-enforcement agencies for video evidence. Bookmarked event recording makes it easy for ASBU operators to skip from scene to scene when reviewing recordings. And in the next project phase, IDIS Deep Learning Analytics (IDLA) tools will be added for even faster, automated footage review. The IDIS solution also makes it easy and affordable to expand the system, for example with IDIS 310D servers that will allow more cameras to be added and increase storage capacity to ensure longer retention periods without increasing storage costs thanks to IDIS Intelligent Codec. “IDIS Solution Suite solved all the problems we had with our complex and ageing system, with an easy upgrade that extends the life and performance of all our cameras,” said Zafer Buldu, Manager of Hardware & Technical Services, ASBU. Koray Ozyildirim, IDIS Turkey Country Manager said, “IDIS Solution Suite has turned ASBU’s cluttered and failing system into a powerful, integrated surveillance solution that is easy to use, adapt, and upgrade, with the assurance of an extended lifespan backed by industry-best warranties.” IDIS is a global security company that designs, develops, manufactures, and delivers surveillance solutions for a wide range of commercial and public sector markets. As the largest video surveillance manufacturer in South Korea, headquartered just outside of Seoul and operating across 50 countries and 100+ strategic partners, IDIS is a world-leading total solution provider with more than two million recorders installed worldwide and over 17 million cameras utilizing IDIS technology.

Alsancak Stadium in Türkiye Relies on Dallmeier Panomera® Cameras After Comparative Test

MassMediaLink India LLP SecurityLink IndiaNovember 14, 2023November 14, 202409 mins

Closed spectator areas and fines are almost completely a thing of the past Like most stadiums worldwide, the Alsancak Mustafa Denizli Stadium suffers from vandalism and riots by individual fans. To be able to better identify and track perpetrators and thus reduce financial and non-material damage, the operator opted for a video security solution from the German manufacturer Dallmeier The Alsancak Mustafa DenizIi Stadium in Izmir – named after former Turkish football player and current football coach Mustafa Denizli – is a multipurpose stadium that mainly hosts football matches. With over 15,000 seats, it is one of the medium-sized stadiums in Türkiye. Originally built in 1929, it was demolished in 2015 and reopened after reconstruction in November 2021. Up to 15 % fewer spectators due to riots In Türkiye, stadiums are usually owned by the Ministry of Sport, which then grants the rights of use to an operator. In the case of the Alsancak stadium, the operator is ‘Altay Izmir,’ an Izmir-based football club that currently plays in Türkiye’s top professional league. The club, like so many other football stadiums, has had its fair share of repeated incidents and threats to spectators and players. These have included verbal abuse and even the throwing of objects onto the pitch. In addition to the intangible damage to the image, the consequences have been painful, ranging from traditional fines to the closure of an entire block of spectators – a loss of 1,000 to 2,000 spectators per home game, and that on a regular basis. How is image quality defined to recognise perpetrators? Under these conditions, the operators were looking for a solution that would allow them to reliably detect and track potential offenders. The tender specified a minimum resolution density of 144 pixels per metre (px/m), which is also required by law. This means that there must be at least 144 pixels in the camera image to represent every metre of ‘reality’ in the stands. This value is between the ‘recognition’ (125 px/m) and ‘identification’ (250 px/m) qualities specified in the IEC EN 62676-4 standard for video surveillance systems. Only ten cameras to monitor the stands To find the most suitable solution for the Alsancak Stadium, the Ministry of Sports decided to invite various manufacturers to a comparative test. After receiving the proofs of concept (PoCs) of several companies, the owner chose a solution from the German manufacturer Dallmeier electronic. In addition to around 140 single-sensor cameras for corridors, outdoor areas and entrances, only ten ‘Panomera®’ multifocal sensor systems are required for the particularly critical grandstand surveillance. 39 % more resolution than required The low number of camera systems required for grandstand surveillance is due to the patented multifocal sensor technology – Panomera® cameras combine the images from up to seven detail sensors and one overview sensor in a single camera system. This provides the user with a high-resolution overview of the entire area to be monitored, which acts as a single image of a vast environment. Within this overall picture, system operators can now open any number of detail views at the same time, while the overall scene is always available in high resolution – even during recording, which is essential for possible prosecution. This provides an optimal overview of the situation and ensures that all events can be followed in real time, in high resolution and in detail. Thanks to this technology, a minimum of 200 px/m is now available throughout the Alsancak stadium instead of the required 144 px/m – 39 per cent more than originally required. No surprises: Remote ‘FAT’ and training from Dallmeier Türkiye Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the stadium’s technicians were unable to travel to Dallmeier’s headquarters in Regensburg, Germany, to commission the system and attend classroom training. For this reason, the socalled Dallmeier Factory Acceptance Test (FAT) took place online. The entire system was set up, configured and remotely accepted in the FAT centre in Regensburg. The training of the technicians and operators was carried out by Dallmeier Türkiye experts on site. Serkan Atalar, CEO of RESA Construction Electromechanical Inc. CO, the installer company that implemented the project, is very pleased, “Dallmeier’s sincere and collaborative approach, as well as the high-tech products and after sale support they offered were very impressive. We thank Dallmeier Türkiye for the great cooperation.” “The customer is very satisfied with the Panomera® systems. The benefits are equivalent to combining a powerful megapixel camera with any number of high-resolution ‘virtual’ PTZ cameras. At the same time, the systems reduce the total cost of ownership for infrastructure, cables, masts, screens, workstations, etc.,” Serkan Atalar summarises, “Alsancak Stadium only needs three system operators with one monitor each. They also have two workstations for the police and management. The solution always gives them 100% control of the security situation in the stadium, allowing them to react immediately and reliably track down perpetrators. And all this at a low total cost of ownership and with minimal manpower thanks to the unique multifocal sensor technology.”
