When it comes to perimeter security, it is literally the first line of protection for any property. Large fences and locked gates can be effective deterrents, but they are not a guaranteed method of security. Intruders could still gain access to the property. So, why not raise an alarm before they can attempt to break into the building? It’s time to deliver true peace of mind and install the first wireless low-mount external detector from Pyronix, the XDL12TT-WE. Combining Pyronix’ multi-award-winning Enforcer two-way wireless technology with their established external detection protocols including Dual-Vision, Tri-Signal Detection Logic and Gaussian Frequency Modulation (GFM), the XDL12TT-WE delivers a completely reliable external detector, with a completely flexible and simple installation. With secure two-way wireless technology This multi-award-winning technology delivers easy installation and superior security with full supervision, anti-jamming and 128-bit wireless protocol encryption to maximise reliability and ensure the signals transmitted by the system are protected and any code-grabbing is prevented. Each Pyronix two-way wireless device is both a transmitter and a receiver and there is a wealth of installation benefits. 1.6km long range wireless The high sensitivity receiver used in Enforcer two-way wireless devices allows a wireless signal range of up to 1.6km in open space, which eliminates the need for repeaters and therefore reduces the installation costs. The high-sensitivity antenna of the XDL12TT-WE ensures that the signals being transmitted and received are as strong as possible. Utilising Gaussian Frequency Modulation (GFM) to spread the signal, while reducing unwanted noise and harmonics, enables the XDL12TT-WE to meet stringent European, ETSI and other worldwide standards. Tri-signal detection logic Consisting of two independent passive infrared (PIR) sensors and one microwave (MW) sensor in one common housing, the Tri-technology (TT) of the XDL12TT-WE delivers advanced outdoor protection. To identify the presence of an intruder, the XDL12TT-WE utilises Tri-Signal Detection Logic alongside TT, whereby to identify the presence of an intruder, all three sensors of the detector need to be activated sequentially in quick succession to create an alarm. Dual-vision pet immune The two PIRs of the XDL12TT-WE have a dedicated volumetric field of view. The top PIR detects outwards and up, while the bottom PIR detects outwards and down, without either crossing the central horizontal plane between them. This setup of non-overlapping PIR sensors alongside Tri-Signal Detection Logic, delivers highly secure sequential detection and increases its tolerance to pet immunity.

Enables stitching of multiple cameras into a single overview and offers more video for less power The new Video Management System 8.0 (BVMS 8.0) from Bosch offers stitching, GPU (Graphics Processor Unit) decoding and 64-bit function – all of which allow surveillance operators to respond faster to incidents by monitoring a greater number of video cameras concurrently. The BVMS 8.0 offers an additional cost-efficiency and supports the latest ‘fusion’ dual-sensor technology. Stitching: One view compiled from many The Bosch Video Stitcher, part of BVMS 8.0, combines video from multiple cameras into a single one. It seamlessly stitches multiple high-resolution cameras into a single panoramic view, allowing operators to monitor – for example, the stand in a stadium or airfield in an airport – as a single camera. The user can still zoom in and out as needed, but does not need to switch back and forth from one camera to another. Additionally one does not need to know which camera is tracking what specifics, or where a camera is located and how it is linked to the surveillance network. The user can configure the stitched view; up to 16 cameras can be stitched together. GPU decoding: More video for less power Security and IT departments typically equip security operators with multi-monitor workstations or video walls for maximum situational awareness. The need to render more cameras on multiple displays usually places additional strain on a workstation’s performance, with more processing power needed to decode video images as the number of cameras increases. Now, a superior client performance is possible by using the decoding capacities of the GPU. In this way, multiple ultra-high resolution (UHD) videos can be displayed in parallel without consuming CPU (Central Processing Unit) power. 64-bit function: Greater capacity BVMS 8.0 runs as a 64-bit application, up from 32-bit in its previous versions. This raises the maximum capacity of a single BVMS from 30 management servers with 100 cameras per server to 50 management servers with 200 cameras per server. H.265 enabled cameras reduce storage, thus cut cost With the introduction of Bosch H.265 video compression, cameras can reduce bitrates. With BVMS 8.0, users are able to configure Bosch H.265 enabled cameras, allowing them to greatly reduce bandwidth and storage needs. Dual view of new ‘fusion’ optical-thermal cameras Bosch’s new MIC IP Fusion 9000 camera combines – among many other features – an optical lens with a thermal lens – to ensure surveillance can continue even in a smoke-filled room. BVMS 8.0 allows operators to easily switch between the optical and thermal view. Additionally, one of the two streams (depending on which one is open) can be dragged and dropped into a new cameo.

Hikvision has followed up its launch of the world’s first Deep Learning NVRs with a new series of IP cameras. The new ‘DeepinView’ IP camera series delivers power and intelligence to boost the value of surveillance system performance across a broad range of security and management applications. Hikvision’s Deep Learning algorithms bear much deeper programming compared against conventional intelligent algorithms, which only operate on the surface level. These algorithms perform feature-learning, and provide astonishingly accurate and consistent video content analytics (VCA) performance. When coupled with high-speed GPU processing, HikvisionDeepinView cameras demonstrate faster computing with large amounts of data. Critical analytics such as false alarm filters, facial recognition, people counting and ANPR can now be reliably implemented in existing and new surveillance systems with versatile applications, providing a sophisticated level of tracking and alarm activation during incidents or even for pre-incident alerts. These analytics also enable customers to reduce the manpower previously required for searching surveillance footage, as well as improve business management efficiency and commercial ROI. Human body detection Hikvision Deep Learning technology enables the DeepinView cameras to detect human bodies while filtering out insignificant objects and movements within a scene where conventional VCA systems trigger false alarms. This is particularly useful for perimeter protection, where users often spend too much time and monetary resources locating significant alarms and relevant information. Facial recognition Facial recognition can be deployed in many security and management scenarios within a variety of applications to alert system operators to the presence of persons of interest. This is achieved by the facial image modelling and similarity calculation woven into the system. This technology is becoming a crucial tool against blacklisted personnel entering to casinos, as the identity of an individual can be used to alert security guards to the presence of a known offender, enabling security personnel to deny access in that casino. In this way they can potentially prevent cheating behaviours. The technology works equally well in preventing the admittance of known offenders into venues such as sports stadiums or restaurants. People counting People counting video analytics can track the number of people who enter and exit a particular area. It can record foot traffic through a retail store on a daily basis, or monitor the number of people in a venue to ensure that health & safety limits are not breached at any one time, as in a museum for example, where crowds move through on foot. Vehicle management Traffic monitoring and Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) analytics can be deployed to monitor vehicular traffic movement and enhance the efficiency of traffic management strategies. ANPR can be used to identify vehicles with listed number plates and allow them access to public and private car parks automatically. HikvisionDeepinView deep learning cameras self-learn the number plate information within a scene and recognize a larger amount of number plates than conventional ANPR systems, without often cumbersome camera positioning adjustments. DeepinView Traffic monitoring analytics, when applied in populous areas and on highways, capture traffic violations such as running red lights,wrong-way driving, illegal parking, and illegal U-turns, contributing to decreased traffic congestion and placing the public and vehicle passengers at lower risk of accidents. “Offering security professionals much deeper system functionality, the new range of HikvisionDeepinView IP cameras combine video data, immense processing power, and Hikvision’s innovative set of intelligent technologies to provide a whole new level of video surveillance performance,” says Keen Yao, VP at Hikvision International Business Centre, “With the DeepinView range, deep learning video analytics will transform standard CCTV systems into intelligent and highly-effective, HD-quality, automated detection and alert systems, to support operators and to deliver more efficient surveillance systems management.” Hikvision has taken the Deep Learning technology and innovated a family of products to maximise its use, including the DeepinView IP Camera Series, DeepinMind NVRs, and the DeepinMind video analytics server.
