CEM’s RED Compliant Access Control

Johnson Controls confirms that their powerful range of CEM Systems access control hardware is compliant with the European Union’s new Radio Equipment Directive (RED) 2014/ 53/ EU, which came into full effect on 13 June 2017. CEM Systems intelligent card readers including the CEM S610 (iCLASS SE, DESFire and Prox) reader, CEM S700 reader, CEM emerald reader and their biometric equivalents are all RED compliant and continue to be available for distribution within the EU. The CEM sPass reader and CEM S3040 portable reader are also confirmed as being RED compliant. On June 13, 2016, the former Directive on Radio and Telecommunications Terminal Equipment (also known as the R&TTE Directive, 1999/ 5/ EC) was repealed and the new requirements came into law. Manufacturers who were compliant with the existing legislation (R&TTED and LVD/ EMCD) had until 13 June 2017 to comply with the new ‘RED’ requirements. The Radio Equipment Directive applies to radio equipment being sold in the EU market and applies to all manner of products, including web enabled appliances, home monitoring medical devices, navigation or tracking systems and mobile phones to name just a few. Anything that uses the radio spectrum to communicate (apart from those items specifically excluded in the Directive) falls within the scope of the legislation and must comply. Equipment that does not comply with RED cannot be imported, distributed or represented in EU member states. In the age of the Internet of Things, more and more devices are transmitting and receiving data, and in effect, are behaving like radio equipment. It is important that radio products are ‘RED’ compliant to ensure the visibility of devices entering the market and to ensure that they do not present an interference risk to other electrical devices or a health and safety risk. CEM Systems access hardware has a legacy of innovation, with industry firsts including portable handheld card readers Power over Ethernet plus (PoE+) door controls and intelligent card readers with in-built memory.

Geutebruck Integrated Video Content Analysis

Geutebrück is expanding its portfolio with camera-based video content analysis (VCA). VCA reliably detects people, cars, trucks, animals, colors or behavior patterns in moving images – by day or night. Items such as containers, pallets or packages can be accurately identified. The video motion detection in the camera is activated by the customer. The main features are abandoned object (loitering items), removed object (missing items), counting (item counting), intrusion detection (perimeter security) and a dwell filter (loitering/ evaluation of dwell time). further filters are the speed filter (velocity), enter & exit filter (intrusion and leaving), stopping filter (immobility for too long) and tailgating filter (distance detection). Many of the filters can be logically sequenced together. Tamper detection (detection of tampering) and shake cancellation (image stabilizer) are also included. With item counting, the VCA camera automatically identifies in a direction-dependent way how many people, vehicles or objects cross over a counting line, which can be positioned anywhere in the image. To safeguard fenced outside areas, the intrusion detection detects any attempts to get through the barriers by means of determined perimeters and provides secure protection for goods which are stored outside and parked vehicles. The dwell filter identifies when people remain for an unusually long time in a defined area, for example outside a factory entrance/ exit or a financial institution.
