How Facial Recognition can Prevent Crime and Improve Security
Why facial recognition? Public security threats and demand for new security solutions from end-users continuously push security manufacturers to innovate and upgrade technologies. International news and media reports on terror incidents of violence often shock public consciousness. They act as a grim reminder of present danger to public security. These security concerns need to be addressed with innovative solutions. For everything from safe city projects to home protection, developments are underway all over the world, with their respective challenges. Safeguarding family members, homes, property, and vehicles are the most common applications using these emerging technologies. But the number of video surveillance cameras used in well in very specific environments, and subtle changes in lighting, environment, etc., sacrifice accuracy. The second step is ‘Classification Learning,’ which uses shallow learning and analysis. Far from ideal, the results here directly restrict the breadth and depth of intelligent applications. Deep-learning benefits for intelligent video surveillance Deep learning is intrinsically different from other algorithms. The way it solves the insufficiencies of traditional algorithms is encompassed in a few concepts. From ‘Shallow’ to ‘Deep’ The algorithmic model for deep learning has a much deeper structure than that of traditional algorithms. Sometimes, the number of layers can reach over a hundred, enabling it to process large amounts of data in complex classifications. Deep learning is very similar to the human learning process, and has a layer-by-layer featureabstraction process. Each layer will have different ‘weighting,’ and this weighting reflects on what was learned about the images’ ‘components.’ The higher the layer level, the more specific the components. Simulating the human brain, an original signal in deep learning passes through layers of processing; further it takes a partial understanding (shallow) to an overall abstraction (deep) where we can perceive the object. From ‘Artificial Features’ to ‘Feature Learning’ Deep learning does not require manual intervention but relies on a computer to extract features by itself. This way it is able to extract as many features from the target as possible, including abstract features that are difficult or impossible to describe. More the features, more accurate the recognition and classification will be. Some of the most direct benefits that deep learning algorithms can bring include achieving comparable or even better-than-human pattern recognition accuracy, strong anti-interference capabilities, and the ability to classify and recognize thousands of features. With deep learning technology, the average accuracy of facial recognition increases significantly. Hikvision has demonstrated its ability to advance ahead of the competition. Its advantages in artificial intelligence in security have come about by having its own excellent algorithm development team and using the most powerful GPUs in our computer platforms. The results include winning in multiple international deep learning algorithm competitions such as ImageNet, PASCAL VOC, the MOT Challenge, and more. Achieving the best results come from a combination of having the right hardware and developing algorithms that can perform the computational requirements. Hikvision has the industry’s first data computing platform with bestin-class hardware, and completely independent algorithm team. Hikvision’s facial recognition solution Hikvision’s facial recognition solution pushes the limits of what is possible with today’s advancements in recognition abilities. This solution detects human faces and recognizes attributes creating pre- and post-event face contrasting. With immense capabilities for data storage behind this solution, Hikvision’s Face Library can generate blacklists and whitelists to trigger alarms and automate entry and exit authorizations in a range of applications. Hikvision embeds its algorithms within the cameras and recorders, so no PC server is needed. This means less delay in transmission, decreasing the burden on back-end devices. More than just efficiency, Hikvision holds high success rates – the facecapture rate can reach to 95% accuracy, with face-comparison accuracy rate up to 98% (Based on controlled tests, the facial recognition engine requires face images with minimum 40 pixels between the subject’s eyes (‘inter-pupillary’ distance), preferably 60 to 300; the maximum pan and tilt angles are 25 degrees and 15 degrees respectively for facial image capture). Multiple models and types are available with a wide variety of front-end or back-end combinations to meet multitudes of scenarios and environments, and with world wide support, all human faces are supported. (At the time of writing this article, faces fitting characteristics of Asian ethnicities have the highest degree of accuracy.) Systems integrators will see a wide range of applications becoming possible with this facial recognition solution. It can be applied in banks, luxury shops and hotels to recognize VIP customers and initiate specialized services. Hikvision’s solution can also be applied in security scenarios like police stations, customs, international airports, government installations, and much more, to improve security and investigation efficiency.

Security Guards to get Free Bus Rides in Delhi : Assures Kejriwal
The Chairman apprised the CM that there are over four lakh security guards working in Delhi at present which can act as a force multiplier in ensuring safety and security to the habitants and infrastructure of the state. This work force is currently approximately 30% deficient and with an estimated annual growth rate of 22%, the private security industry is one of the major job facilitators in the state. In this preview, CAPSI is keen to work in conjunction with the Delhi Government in areas of mutual interest in order to achieve the desired level of safety for populace. CAPSI offered that a security guard in uniform on the way to his duty and back home travelling in the public transport can act as a deterrent to the criminals’ planning and their unlawful activities, and he mere can force them to refrain from such acts. In other words, a security guard by his sheer presence in the bus or in any other public transportation system can be able to provide incidental security to passengers. The private security guards are duly authorised and verified by the police and so their services can be used to boost safety of bus passengers in lieu of free ride given to them. They will act as ‘eyes and ears’ to ensure safety of women and children travelling in buses. “The Chief Minister agreed to consider this demand. The association offered services of security guards to keep watch in buses and boost safety of women and children,” Somnath Bharti said. CAPSI in a statement also confirmed that Mr. Kejriwal has agreed to consider the demand of the association to allow private security personnel to travel free in public buses in the city. The proposed ‘concession’ will be given to the security guards in uniform commuting to and from the places of their duty only. “Each security guard shall be given a special badge so that public may recognise him/ her as protector of citizens. The Chief Minister appreciated the social responsibility character of CAPSI and wanted us to organise security training to students of the 12th class in all schools. The Delhi Government will sign a MoU to commence these programmes at the earliest. It will also launch the publicity campaign to popularise its partnership with CAPSI for ‘Yatri Suraksha’,” said Kunwar Vikram Singh.

CAPSI Governing Council Meeting
Central Association of Private Security Industry (CAPSI) and Association of Private Detectives and Investigators (APDI) recently held their Governing Council Meeting, which brought together national office bearers and members of CAPSI from across the country, and provided them a valuable networking opportunity to discuss, explore and set the stage for further cooperation a large number of issues pertaining to the private security industry. The conference began with the opening remarks of Kunwar Vikram Singh, Chairman, CAPSI & APDI, and continued with interactive panel discussions, presentations, and briefings on various topics of interest like GST, Code of Conduct, matters related to principle employers etc. The Meeting was graced by the presence of Vivek Bharadwaj, IAS, Joint Secretary (PM), MHA who actively indulged in a meaningful discussion with the industry representatives and invited their comments on current issues being faced by the industry. The Chairman welcomed Mr. Bhardwaj and apprised him of the current issues which the industry faces such as renewal of licenses, license of gunman, immunity to PSA owner against cognizable offences committed by guards, formation of an internal committee to tweak some rules in order to ensure better growth of the industry, requirement of upgrading skills of guards to match with international standards, uniform standard of training across the country, nonPSARA compliant PSAs to be dealt with a heavy hand, and so on. The industry representatives raised following issues to the Joint Secretary: Grant of license to an agency needs to be simplified, registration of Aadhar Card of the owner be linked with KYC forms and get antecedents verified. Provision for permission to operate in multiple states. PSARA be enforceable across the country, and provisions for licenses for all India be formulated. Documentary evidence of being born at a particular place, especially for the older person as the registration of birth at that time was not mandatory. Delhi police firing range to be made available to the licensed armed security guards for practice through the security agencies. DGR model to determine the minimum service charges to be included in the tendering process by the PSAs. Delhi PSARA mandates a training centre to possess minimum one acre of ground for physical activities. This can be offset by conducting physical training in government schools which have playground of one acre or more. The training activities can be carried out after school hours. Validity of PSARA license be enhanced from the present three years to five years. In case it is applied for renewal in stipulated time frame before the expiry date, and renewal not received, the agency’s license may be considered renewed. It was informed that the Govt of Bihar has started the process of auto renewal of licenses, and submission of documents is done on line. Considering the fast turnover of security guards in the industry, present verification procedure followed by the police is very time consuming. It was recommended that e-portals like that of NCRB be developed and used to identify the criminal records of the applicants, if any. If there are no adverse entries, it may be deemed clear. That police stations located in remote areas of the country can be asked to work in collaboration and share information of any agency operating from that area, which otherwise is a difficult and timeconsuming task for CAPSI. That in Maharashtra it is compulsory for agencies to register with Maharashtra Security Guard Board and employ only those who are cleared by them. It was recommended that Maharashtra Guard Board be brought under PSARA. That if an agency submits the application in accordance with the check list of the State Controlling Authority, then the new license should be given within 60 days and renewals within 30 days. Though the validity of the license in one of the states i.e., Jharkhand is for five years, but the Controlling Authority demands a yearly renewal charge of INR 25,000/- which needs to be stopped forthwith. That in AP/ Telengana, the Controlling Authorities are officers who perform the task in addition to their various other assigned tasks, thereby they get little time to resolve issues pertaining to the industry. Controlling Authority in one of the states has enforced training of MDs in the state as part of the condition to renew license. If other states also do that, MD will require to be attending the same course in all states where his agency is functional. It was informed that Government of J&K has passed an Act wherein only those individuals who are the domicile of the state and have 51% share of the company will be able to run a security agency in the State. This debars Indians not belonging to the State of J&K from conducting business in the State. Based on the discussions held, it is envisaged that MHA may issue certain recommendations to State Controlling Authorities which will eventually pave the way towards ease of doing business by the security agencies. Professionalism and compliance of PSARA will bring credibility Mr. Bharadwaj stated that he has been very keen to interact with CAPSI members as they were the true representatives of the security industry. He expressed his satisfaction on the way the deliberations took place and made a note of a few valid points that have been brought to his notice and assured all present that he will certainly follow up on these issues. He took note to examine the current procedure of grant of new license & renewal of existing licenses, utilization of police firing range for practice, and whether J&K Govt can enact the model rules in the manner that they have. He stated that there is a need to understand the Constitution of India. PSARA is a model Act and rules formulated by states are within the broad contours of the Act. So far as checking of criminal records/ antecedents of prospective guards are concerned, these could be obtained from the CCTNS portal which connects all operational police stations in the country except 80. Citizen service portal is another…
Role of Data Protection Officer (DPO) under General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)
After four years of preparation and debate the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) was finally approved by the EU Parliament on 14 April 2016. The Regulation was adopted and published on 27 April 2016 and will be enforceable on and from 25 May 2018. The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) (Regulation (EU) 2016/679) is a regulation by which the European Parliament, the Council of the European Union and the European Commission intend to strengthen and unify data protection for all individuals within the European Union (EU) whilst addressing the export of personal data outside the EU. It regulates the EU citizen data in every part of the world and in every organization processing or storing an EU Citizen’s data. The EU GDPR replaces the Data Protection Directive 95/46/EC and was designed to harmonize data privacy laws across Europe, to protect and empower all EU citizens data privacy and to reshape the way organizations across the region approach data privacy. This new law will have a profound impact on the operational and control environment of the organisations, not only within EU but also within the organisations based outside the EU including India. It extends the scope of EU data protection law to all foreign companies processing data of EU residents. It provides for a harmonization of the data protection regulations throughout the EU, thereby making it easier for non-European companies to comply with these regulations. However, in some areas, the precise interpretation of the GDPR remains unclear, and businesses therefore face uncertainty in terms of their compliance obligations. To address this issue, the GDPR is supplemented by guidance issued by the Article 29 Working Party (WP29), an advisory body made up of representatives of the national Data Protection Authorities of each EU Member State. Provision for Data Protection Officer (DPO) The GDPR has a mandatory provision for the appointment of Data Protection Officer by pertinent organisations. The role of Data Protection Officer (DPO) is an important GDPR innovation and a cornerstone of the GDPR’s accountability-based compliance framework. In addition to supporting an organisation’s compliance with the GDPR, DPOs will have an essential role in acting as intermediaries between relevant stakeholders e.g., supervisory authorities, data subjects and business units within an organisation. All organisations who will be required by the GDPR to appoint a DPO should do this as soon as possible and well in advance of May 2018. With the authority to carry out their critical function, the Data Protection Officer will be of pivotal importance to an organisation’s preparations for the GDPR and meeting the accountability obligations. A DPO may be a member of staff at the appropriate level with the appropriate training, however, GDPR also provides for an option of an external DPO who will be shared by a group of organisations. It is important to note that DPOs are not personally responsible where an organisation does not comply with the provisions of GDPR. The GDPR makes it clear that it is the Controller or the Processor of the organisation who is required to ensure and to be able to demonstrate that the processing is in accordance with the GDPR. Data protection compliance is ultimately the responsibility of the Controller or the Processor. Who needs a DPO For the first time Data Controllers as well as Data Processors are required to appoint a Data Protection Officer in three situations as per Article 37(1) of the GDPR. Where the processing is carried out by a public authority or body Any organisation that is a public authority or a public body must appoint a DPO. However, the GDPR does not define the expression ‘public authority or body.” Rather, the GDPR leaves it to each EU Member State to determine which organisations are public authorities and public bodies. Where a private business performs outsourced public functions on behalf of a public authority or a public body, the WP29 recommends that such business should appoint a DPO, not merely in relation to those outsourced public functions, but also in relation to all of the other data processing activities of that business, including processing activities that are unrelated to the outsourced public functions. Where the core activities of the Controller or the Processor comprise processing operations, which require regular and systematic monitoring of data subjects on a large scale Under this provision companies whose primary activities involve processing personal data on a large scale for the purposes of behavioural advertising, online tracking, fraud prevention, detection of money laundering, administering loyalty programs, running CCTV systems, monitoring smart meters etc., will be caught by the DPO requirement. Core activities can be defined as the key operations necessary to achieve an organisation’s (Controller or Processor’s) goals. For example, a private security company which carries out surveillance of private shopping centres and/ or public spaces using CCTV would be required to appoint a DPO as surveillance is a core activity of the company. On the other hand, it would not be mandatory to appoint a DPO where an organisation undertakes activities such as payroll and IT support, as while these involve the processing of personal data, they are considered ancillary rather than core activities. Where the core activities of the Controller or the Processor consist of processing on a large scale of special categories of data or personal data relating to criminal convictions and offences Article 37(1)(b) and (c) requires that the processing of personal data be carried out on a large scale in order for the designation of a DPO to be triggered. Article 37(1)(c) addresses the processing of special categories of data pursuant to Article 9, and personal data relating to criminal convictions and offences set out in in Article 10. Qualifications Article 37(5) of the GDPR provides that a Data Protection Officer shall be designated on the basis of professional qualities, and in particular, expert knowledge of data protection law and practices, and the ability to fulfil the tasks referred to in Article 39. “It is important to note that DPOs are not personally…

Video security requirements With the need and growth for video surveillance, and in particular wireless video surveillance established, what are the specific requirements for this application? What requirements must a viable video security solution provide? These requirements can be broken down into those that apply to the cameras themselves, and those that apply to the wireless network component providing the connectivity. Video security requirements for wireless networks With the need and growth for video surveillance, and in particular wireless video surveillance established, what are the specific requirements for this application? What requirements must a viable video security solution provide? These requirements can be broken down into those that apply to the cameras themselves, and those that apply to the wireless network component providing the connectivity. Video security requirements for wireless networks High capacity – up to 25 Mbps per cameras. Reliable video communications – the network must have high availability (as much as 99.999%) and be secure. Mobility. Water- and dust-proof (IP67-rated). Wide operating temperature range -40° to 55°C. Video security requirements for the cameras Complex and constantly changing lighting. Complex picture composition, backlighting. Large area overview. High level of detail needed. Vibration. Clear images of rapidly moving objects and persons. When it comes to throughput or capacity requirements, these can vary a great deal based on resolution, frame rate and even the device being used to view the video streams. In this case the device is typically a large monitor in a central location. Table below gives some idea of capacity per camera requirements. From the table it can be seen that to provide an HD video stream at 720p, a common resolution, the network must support at least 2Mbps and ideally 8Mbps. When this is multiplied out it can be seen that a good security camera will require on the order 700Gb per day.

The Proxim Advantage Video Security via Wireless
Over the years there have been two distinct trends that have combined to boost the video surveillance or monitoring market evermore into the forefront of discussions. The first has been the rise in terrorism, vandalism, refugee populations crossing borders and additional global turmoil. The second trend has been the advancement in video camera technology – from analog NTSC or PAL standard definition video formats to IP based cameras supporting full frame rate (30fps) 1080p HD video. The technology behind video security has progressed significantly in the last 10 years. With these new resolutions has come advanced technology, functions that were not possible before or were only available off a server in the central monitoring station are now done routinely, often in the cameras themselves. This refers to features such as facial recognition, automatic license plate readers, automatic red light cameras and more. What all these new smart, HD video cameras need is connectivity. Most of these applications require outdoor cameras While all these applications may seem to be unique, there are a few things all of them have in common. First, these deployments and features require good to excellent video definition quality. Standard definition is no longer acceptable, and running at 10 frames per second vs. a full rate of 30fps, is not acceptable. Second, almost universally these applications will have a high percentage of cameras being deployed outdoors, where the environment is harsh, units are unguarded and connectivity is seldom available. For video security the camera needs to be placed where it can perform it’s desired function, and not where there is a convenient fiber or Ethernet cable handy. Having a fiber strand within 10 feet of the desired location of a camera is not much better than being a mile away. It still requires permits, right of way negotiations and some level of digging. Market With all of these factors combined, the wireless video surveillance market is forecasted to reach $1 Billion in 2019. These numbers do not address the latest shifts in the video security market being driven by orthogonal applications. For example, cities deploying intelligent traffic systems use wireless to connect signaling lights in intersections. In many cases the decision is made to add a camera to the deployment, using the wireless network to support both the signaling traffics as well as the video traffic. When carriers or municipalities decide to deploy public Wi-Fi or hot spots, increasingly the request is bundled with a desire for adding a video camera to the hot spots deployment.

High capacity With a typical security camera consuming up to 8 Mbps, to be effective the wireless network will likely be supporting more than one camera per network. Proxim offers a variety of Tsunami® products that support 10Mbps, 25Mbps, 50Mbps, 100Mbps, 240Mbps up to 633Mbps of useable bandwidth. Reliable video communications There are three main factors to reliable video communications: The network must have high availability (as much as 99.999%) The Tsunami® product line of outdoor wireless networking systems offer a full two year warranty. Proxim has customers who have deployed radios from ten years ago, have never been touched, and are operating today. With an field determined MTBF of well over 1 million hours for some product lines, up to over 2 million hours of MTBF for others, this equates to 1.5 to 3 seconds outage per year. The network must ensure the quality of the video stream in the face of radio frequency impairments or other traffic being carried on that wireless link In this application poor image quality is absolutely not allowed. It is no exaggeration to state that in many deployments lives are at stake, and the video system and in particular the network must be top quality. From a radio frequency performance perspective, Proxim builds into every unit it’s suite of interference mitigation technologies known as Proxim ClearConnect™ ensuring reliable wireless connectivity.

Securiton Safeguarding the Swiss Consulate in Mumbai
The Swiss Confederation has long been represented in the Indian metropolis of Mumbai. The first Swiss consulate opened in 1915, at a time when this important financial and business hub was still called Bombay. To bring the premises up to date, they were subjected to a complete renovation last year. The building now houses the Consulate General alongside the offices of Swiss Business Hub India and Switzerland Tourism. Security Securiton-style The Swiss Federal Office for Buildings and Logistics, which is responsible for the country’s missions around the world, works only with certified providers for its security installations. Securiton’s efficient solution also came with a compelling price tag. Securiton won the contract on the basis of its end-to-end solution, which included an intrusion alarm system, video monitoring, and integrated rescue route technology. Switzerland’s consulate general in Mumbai has everything under control thanks to Securiton’s proven IP-based SecuriSafe intrusion alarm system and IPS VideoManager video security system.
Technologies Assists in Modernization of Police Forces including in India
Keeping knowledge and information safe is more important than ever. The way the security industry works has changed significantly over the last decade. There are a number of emerging concerns like crime, theft, murder risks etc., that need to be addressed in order to remain efficient and secure. However, as the market evolves and the threat becomes more complicated, 100% security should be ensured. Identification of emerging technologies orientation of work on new technologies should be encouraged so that the police forces can be equipped with the best and are capable to resist any threat. Here are few companies which are helping police forces with different technologies: Oncam 180 degree camera product range: 180-degree camera range meets the needs of customers in a variety of markets that require a purposebuilt wall mounted camera with panoramic+ views from a single sensor. Environments that benefit from this unique view include education, hospitality, casinos, banking, retail and transportation, which demand monitoring of large walkways, open spaces and corridors without blind spots. Staqu AI powered smart glass for personal security: The smart glass is capable for both, speech and image recognition, and thus, it can be used to identify potential threats to the civil society such as criminals, intruders or terrorists, lurking around or amidst us. The smart glass has an in-built camera which captures input to trigger facial recognition. Once the face is identified from within the given databases, the smart glass projects the results on the glass screen. The entire process happens in real-time as the user simply glances over the vicinity. Even in wild scenarios, the Smart Glass by Staqu firstof-its-kind technology fuses together speech and image recognition to utilize a hybrid identification technology and uniquely identify anyone. H Robotics: H Robotics have developed smart policing robot. The ‘Robocop’ will help police handle law and order. The robot can file complaints, detects bombs and answers queries. He is named after 26/11 Indian martyr Hemant Karkare. It is designed to protect private and public areas like malls, offices, airports etc. It can also be used as an assistant in database handling, surveillance, and space security.
