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.

Honeywell has recently introduced Honeywell Vector Space Sense, a software solution that shows where, when and how building spaces are used at any given point in time. As a result, the building operations team can make better-informed real estate and space usage decisions that provide opportunities to optimize costs and promote better building experiences for occupants. “From higher levels of employee productivity to healthier environments that help drive cost savings, Connected Buildings have real benefits for owners, operators and occupants,” said Vimal Kapur, President and Chief Executive Officer, Honeywell Building Technologies, “Honeywell Vector Space Sense is the latest example of how Honeywell is using cutting-edge technology to enable smarter, data-driven buildings that work for their organizations.” Recent studies indicate most offices around the world are underutilized by as much as half of their actual capacity due to factors such as shifting work schedules, mobile technology usage and changing business needs. However, many facility managers lack the comprehensive insights required to take action to address these usage issues. This can lead to overpaying for unused space, wasted energy usage, offtemperature spaces and other inefficiencies that negatively impact an organization’s bottom line. Honeywell Vector Space Sense helps address this issue by gathering and analyzing data from multiple sources throughout a building to deliver actionable insights that help personnel better utilize, optimize and prioritize building spaces. The facility team can view these insights through detailed, information-rich dashboards and reports incorporating visualization methods like maps, usage profiles, overall trends and other metrics to show where, when and how space is used, along with opportunities to optimize usage and help reduce costs. For example, organizations can gain the necessary insights to repurpose unused spaces for more productive uses, make better-informed decisions about future space investments or divestments, and better align building equipment schedules with actual usage patterns. Honeywell Vector Space Sense is in use at London Health Sciences Centre, a London, Ontario-based hospital network with 15,000 employees that covers 1.9 million square feet and served more than 1 million patients in 2017. The hospital network chose to implement the technology to better understand the use of its clinical and office spaces, following complaints of overcrowding and office expansion requests. With Honeywell Vector Space Sense, the network discovered that overcrowding in certain areas only happened at specific times, while other spaces often went unused for long periods of time. This information helped inform better space reallocation and scheduling. Backed by a cloud-based infrastructure, Honeywell Vector Space Sense follows a three-step process that starts with gathering space utilization data from multiple sources such as smart lights, bluetooth beacons, mobile apps, and other sensor-connected devices and equipment. The solution then applies analytics to the collected data, using customized algorithms and space utilization models to deliver actionable insights – the third and final step. “Expenses associated with unused building spaces often go unnoticed, simply because it’s so difficult to get an accurate, moment-by-moment view into how building spaces are used, or if they’re being used at all,” said John Rajchert, President, Building Solutions, Honeywell Building Technologies, “Honeywell Vector Space Sense takes the mystery out of space usage through real-time, IoT-enabled insights that give organizations the real picture of where and how people are using spaces, so they can get the most out of their buildings.”
