MassMediaLink India LLP SecurityLink India06 mins

Over 18,000 visitors representing a 12% increase on the 2017 event, and more than 140 exhibitors – 70 of which were new to this year, came together from 29 countries at FIREX International to drive and reflect on the life safety landscape in the UK For three days at ExCeL London, fire safety professionals accessed over 10,000+ life safety solutions held to the highest standards. Amidst the present national agenda regarding fire safety in the built environment – with a particular emphasis on social housing – FIREX was the dedicated platform for engaging with leading experts, exploring proven technologies and receiving essential guidance. Gerry Dunphy, Brand Director of FIREX International explained, “It is reflective of the times we’re in that a full-fledged fire safety event is resonating so deeply with the market, and we’re pleased to see an increase in life safety professionals engaging with the event. The show’s growth is a testament to the industry’s demand for change. Both visitor and exhibitor sentiment reflected the criticality of FIREX, and the conversations held on the show floor speak volumes for the way in which FIREX is changing perceptions around life safety being a right, not a privilege.” Sales Engineer at Specialist Wiring Accessories explained, “The first Life Safety is a Right not a Privilege How FIREX International 2018 Formed Part of the Answer two days were probably the busiest days that I’ve ever known at any exhibition. It’s brought forward an extremely good quality of contacts and enquiries.” The show also welcomed the 5th International Tall Building Fire Safety Conference, exclusive to FIREX, in addition to an in-depth seminar programme across the Expertise & Guidance Theatre, sponsored by BAFE, and the FPA Infozone. A particular highlight of the seminar programme included Dr Chris Cocking’s talk ‘Human Behaviour During an Emergency.’ This hugely popular seminar, presented at the FPA Infozone, provided insight into the rarity of mass panic, and indicated that there is very little evidence to suggest that people panic if they are made aware of the threat; which means that information should not be withheld. His analysis was paired with a tangible solution to provide vital information about what’s going on, what the threat is and what they need to do to escape it. New to FIREX International 2018 were ‘show me how’ demonstrations in the brand new Sprinkler Zone. These addressed the fire safety concerns keeping visitors up at night by not only offering the latest solutions and technology, but showing how to use them. There were also live smoke demonstrations by GERDA, showing the crucial role of fire doorsets in passive fire protection. With a newly introduced fire challenge, the 20th anniversary of the Engineers of Tomorrow competition saw fire apprentices compete in live installation challenges. The Inspirational Speaker Series also drew massive crowds as the show welcomed a fantastic line-up of world class speakers including comedian and mental health expert Ruby Wax OBE, English rugby legend Sir Clive Woodward OBE and Nicky Moffat CBE, formerly the British Army’s highest-ranking female officer. Jeremy Rees, Acting CEO, ExCeL London commented, “We were delighted to welcome FIREX to ExCeL London. Our teams are working closely with UBM to support their ambitions for growth and we are delighted that they had another successful event with us. This event, together with the wider P&M series, is playing a vital role in maintaining and creating safe and secure environments, something that resonates strongly with us. We look forward to welcoming visitors and exhibitors again next year, when they will be able to travel to ExCeL more quickly than ever before via the Elizabeth line.” FIREX International 2019 takes place from 18-20 June 2019 at ExCeL London.

Dahua Updates Security at West Midlands Site

MassMediaLink India LLP SecurityLink India04 mins

  Dahua Technology has recently announced that a compressive video surveillance solution consisting of 96 cameras from Dahua Technology UK is being installed at the striking Fort Dunlop commercial and retail site, overlooking the M6 motorway in Birmingham.   Built for Dunlop Rubber, Fort Dunlop became the tyre-maker’s flagship production facility and at one time was the world’s largest factory, employing 3,200 workers. After production stopped in the 1980s, the building lay derelict before being redeveloped into 360,000 square feet of office and retail space, and also now with an adjoining hotel. Much of the site’s previous video surveillance system was installed during the refurbishment in 2006, but with advances in modern technology, it was felt that the current system was no longer meeting basic requirements. An external consultant assessed the site and put forward plans for an upgrade. Bromsgrove based Champion Security Installations won the bid for the upgrade project. Installed over two phases, the design consists of a total of 96 static and PTZ cameras from full HD to 4K resolutions. Cameras include the 12MP panoramic internal IPC-EBW81230 fisheye camera, which uses H.265/ H.264 triplestream encoding, and the external panoramic IPCPDBW8802 dome camera, with four 2-Megapixel progressive scan CMOS sensors and day/ night functionality. Images are managed and recorded by a 128-channel, ultra 4K NVR616 network video recorder. “Having undertaken a full review of the security systems at Fort Dunlop, it became clear that a replacement CCTV system was required to ensure protection of the staff, visitors and building. Three different options were presented by contractors, but it quickly became clear that the Dahua system presented by Champion Security met our brief. The system installed has changed the way we monitor and protect our asset, and its ease of use has been a revelation to our site staff,” said a spokesperson from Savills. A spokesperson from Champion Security Installations added, “We have worked with the management of Fort Dunlop for a number of years now, so we designed the new IP CCTV system in consultation with them. The aim was to meet all of the different security, health and safety criteria, as well as ensure ease of use for the operators. Having installed Dahua equipment at a number of sites, we invited them to assist with the design of the Fort Dunlop system using a number of their new products. Working in conjunction with Dahua and Oprema Ltd, the project was delivered on time and within budget.”

COM-SUR Helping CXOs Achieve Optimal Benefits from CCTV

MassMediaLink India LLP SecurityLink India03 mins

CCTV cameras are increasing in number across the world but there are yet question marks – if crime is going down, or if the people are able to recover better ROI from their investments in CCTV, or if there is a better compliance and so on. The fact is that CCTV has become just a ‘fit and forget,’ but if users take just a few extra recommended steps, they will achieve far more benefits. The unfortunate incident that took place at Ryan school in Gurgaon has been a shocking experience. It is yet shocking to know even after that, there have been over 160 reported incidents across schools in India – 18 of which are deaths, 7 suicides, over 70 molestation cases, and even 2 cases of leopard intrusions. All these schools had one thing in common, and that is CCTV cameras. So, fundamentally there is something wrong in the way the world is using CCTV, or rather not using CCTV to its fullest potential. After the unfortunate Gurgaon incident, every authority suggests to increase cameras, but needs to be considered if just the installations thereof are enough. Team COM-SUR is reaching out to business leaders to make them understand that any organization that uses CCTV cameras can achieve lots of value from CCTV surveillance by adopting a few simple SOPs in terms of CCTV video footage auditing, smart backup and intelligent reporting software. Gautam Goradia, the creator of COM-SUR is taking personal interest and looking to deliberate with organizations and their CXOs about how their organizations can benefit from this new angle of auditing CCTV video footage as a SOP, save costs of storage and bandwidth, and gain business intelligence from standardized reporting.
