If You Feel Different, You Drive Different

MassMediaLink India LLP SecurityLink IndiaSeptember 4, 2018November 14, 202402 mins

The National Safety Council applauds the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration campaign, If You Feel Different, You Drive Different, and its goal to curb impaired driving crashes. Despite decades of education and enforcement, nearly 10,000 people are lost each year to alcohol-impaired driving. Now, with the country’s opioid epidemic and several states approving medicinal and recreational marijuana use, impairment on their roads is an even more complex issue. Drivers must understand that alcohol impairment begins with the first drink, and marijuana use affects both decision making and reaction time. Additionally, opioid use can seriously jeopardize safe driving. Education, legislation and high visibility enforcement can change behaviors. NHTSA’s campaign rightly focuses on all three. The National Safety Council is pleased to support If You Feel Different, You Drive Different, and we look forward to the day when impaired driving crashes are a thing of the past. The National Safety Council is a nonprofit organization whose mission is to eliminate preventable deaths at work, in homes and communities, and on the road through leadership, research, education and advocacy. Founded in 1913 and chartered by Congress, NSC advances this mission by partnering with businesses, government agencies, elected officials and the public in areas where we can make the most impact.

We are very proud and appreciative for this.” Since winning the award in 2017, many developments have been made that have contributed to this success, including the addition of ProControl+, Hik-Connect and Hikvision’s iVMS-4200 integration. These add great value to the Enforcer allowing installers to extend their offerings, compete in new markets, remain competitive, and provide new and desired solutions to end users in a converging industry. Now, installers can offer the best of both worlds in one solution – market-leading intrusion and video combined in one Enforcer system. PSI CCTV Product of the Year Hikvision also won the PSI Premier ‘CCTV Product of The Year’ Awards 2018 for the third year in a row. The honoured Hikvision product was the PanoVu mini-series IR network PTZ camera (DS-2PT3326IZ-DE3), which integrates four cameras into one to provide both panoramic video images for general observation or detection and closeups of any areas where more detail is required. The Hikvision DS-2PT3326IZ-DE3 was chosen by PSI readers – mostly surveillance systems designers and installers – who voted on the PSI website. With more than 1,000 surveillance professionals voting each year, PSI’s CCTV Product of the Year category is strongly contested, making Hikvision’s achievement even more gratifying. Gary Harmer, Sales Director for Hikvision UK & Ireland said, “Thanks to everyone who voted for Hikvision, and to PSI for running and hosting the awards. We’re constantly innovating to create surveillance products that provide installers and end customers high performance, industry leading features, and excellent value for money. With a keen balance of wide-angle video, close-up footage, and 3D positioning, the DS-2PT3326IZ-DE3 offers all of these benefits – a fact that was recognised by PSI’s readers this year.” The features behind the award The DS-2PT3326IZ-DE3 offers a range of innovative technology features that are likely to have appealed to PSI’s informed readership. These include 3x fixed lenses that capture panoramic views and 1x central PTZ for capturing more zoomed in views, which collectively support both wide-angle and close-up video. All cameras that are integrated into the product feature crystal-clear video imaging. In addition to these features, the Hikvision DS2PT3326IZ-DE3 provides a range of industry leading security features that installers and customers value. These include user authentication and IP address filtering, and protection against voltage surges. Finally, but of equal importance, the Hikvision DS2PT3326IZ-DE3 supports highly efficient audio and video compression. This helps customers minimize their data transmission and storage costs, and lower their overall OPEX.

Bosch MIC IP fusion 9000i

MassMediaLink India LLP SecurityLink IndiaSeptember 2, 2018November 14, 202404 mins

The Bosch MIC IP fusion 9000i camera has been nominated as a finalist at the Benchmark Innovation Awards 2018, a scheme which recognizes and rewards innovative thinking and smart design. Made for the extremes When developing the MIC IP fusion 9000i, Bosch went to extreme measures to ensure it performs at its best even when the weather is at its worst. That’s why the camera body is constructed from solid metal, capable of withstanding high winds, rain, fog, dust and 100% humidity (UL Type 6P and IP68), extreme vibrations (IEC60068) and high impacts (IK10). The MIC IP fusion 9000i is also designed to be fully operational in extremely cold conditions – down to -40°C – with the added protection of a window-defrosting function, so it continues to capture high quality video at very low temperatures. Maximum situational awareness Just as the weather is unpredictable, there are scenarios that nobody can ever foresee such as the sudden torrential downpour that reduces visibility on the roads, the busy railway yard gripped by arctic temperatures, the national border crossing shrouded in desert dust and so on. In these extreme instances, when objects can become ‘invisible,’ the MIC IP fusion 9000i has been proven to remain effective thanks to metadata fusion. This unique capability is made possible by the camera’s two built-in imagers – optical and thermal – in conjunction with the built-in intelligent video analytics. By fusing the metadata of both imagers, users are provided with full situational awareness, regardless of whether it’s the optical or thermal video stream that’s being monitored. For example, should a situation arise when the optical imager is obscured, like in a smoke-filled tunnel, data from the event will still be captured by the thermal imager. If an event is detected but not sufficiently visible in the video stream being watched, an alarm is always triggered notifying users to simply click the alarm overlay box. The user will then see the video data related to that event. Another standout innovation of the MIC IP fusion 9000i is the ability to use video analytics whilst moving, so when the camera is performing a panning, tilting or zooming move and detects a mobile object in a prohibited area it delivers an alert which activates the intelligent tracking feature to automatically track the object and dynamically adjust the field of view, to capture objects in great detail. Like all Bosch cameras, the MIC IP fusion 9000i is fully equipped to join the vast infrastructure of lighting, sensors and smart devices that will make daily security operations completely seamless, intuitive and protected.
