Nedap launched the next generation of its automatic number plate recognition (ANPR) platform and with the introduction of two brand-new cameras, Nedap answers to the rapid growing demand for effective license plate reading in vehicle access control applications. In a relatively short period, license plate recognition technology for vehicle access control has become very popular. Nedap’s ANPR cameras identify vehicles by capturing their license plates, making it the perfect solution for applications in which it is undesirable to issue (RFID) tags. This technology is used in situations where vehicles need to be granted access temporarily or incidentally such as in employee or visitor parking applications. Advanced license plate recognition Nedap enables customers to benefit from the latest developments in ANPR technology by adding two brandnew cameras to its platform. The advanced ANPR Lumo can be applied in challenging vehicular access control applications. Deep learning algorithms enable a high accuracy, even in regions with license plates that include different font formats. For specific regions, like the Pacific and USA, this license plate camera offers a powerful solution. The ANPR Access V2 is the successor of Nedap’s ANPR Access. This license plate camera is a new development that offers better performance while being fully compatible with existing installations. Both new cameras easily integrate with any third party security, parking and traffic management systems using their built-in Wiegand options. Purposely designed for vehicle access “ There are many ANPR systems in the market. Few of them were purposely designed for vehicle access control. With the release of these new cameras, we are taking the effectiveness of ANPR for vehicle access control to the next level. The available options for configuration and interfacing have been enhanced and extended, making ANPR a viable option for installations all over the world, including the Pacific and the USA,” says Maarten Mijwaart, Managing Director of Nedap Identification Systems.  

Hikvision has released the latest product range to hit its portfolio, the AXHub intruder alarm system. Part of the Hikvision AX-Series, the brand-new wireless system stylishly caters to any residential and small commercial applications by seamlessly connecting security and video on one-platform. “Hikvision is pioneering the oneplatform revolution for security systems that enables HD video verification of events, remote control to arm and disarm the alarm, as well as the ability to switch between alarm system and video like never before,” said Jiang Feng Zhi, Head of Hikvision’s Alarms Division. Video and intrusion system in one platform This advanced synergy of technologies is delivered in a small, compact and discreet panel that delivers multiconfiguration methods, full control and setup via Hik-Connect smart device application, and iVMS as well as video verification through revolutionary Intruder Verification as a Service (IVaaS). Integration is at the core of the AXHub, utilising cloud technology to combine intrusion and video like never before. Where other video verification methods on the market are reliant on sending low-quality static imagery to confirm events, IVaaS links previously separate video and intruder systems to one platform, providing a 7 second clip in the event of an alarm – 5 seconds pre-alarm and 2 seconds post alarm. To achieve this, there are two options – via the cloud, or innovatively connecting up to two cameras directly to the AXHub for on-board video verification. This enables Hikvision’s video and intrusion systems to seamlessly deliver video footage directly to the user through Hik-Connect or iVMS, or directly to a central monitoring station (CMS). By delivering video to users, or a CMS via e-mail, smart device and desktop applications, they can switch to full HD live streams to verify action can take much faster and more reliably in the event of an activation. Hik-Connect compatibility also allows full control of the system from anywhere, enabling users to remotely arm, disarm and monitor, as well as check history and receive push notifications of any events. “When one manufacturer provides the components for each part of the system, we don’t need to try and make things work together; we aren’t ‘integrating’ systems,” said Mr. Jiang, “The video and intruder systems are designed to work seamlessly with each other, and this is what we have achieved in the AXHub.” Compatible with any Hikvision video or intrusion device, this allows the ideal security solution to be fitted every time, covering every vantage point. Award-winning intrusion technologies The system supports up to 32 wireless inputs from a wide range that includes internal and external detectors, contacts, keyfobs, life safety sensors, and much more. The extensive wireless range of intrusion devices feature award-winning, proven and patented intrusion technologies for complete confidence and peace of mind, with easy installation using signal strength indicators and one-push-to-learn. The AXHub also utilises 3EasyFit, a technique to speed up initial installation, and supports voice-guided setup for configuration and operation, making the entire installation process fast and efficient. The local voice prompts will also alert the user to any events on the system, while voice calls for alarms can be configured as well. The variety of communication pathways available with the AXHub is unmatched, offering LAN, Wi-Fi, GPRS, and 3G/ 4G connections with on-board communication modules and connectors for a simpler and more cost-effective installation. While with multiport IP communications, the AXHub can also communicate simultaneously with multiple devices to ensure alarm messages are sent to all that need them.  

Hanwha Techwin’s new Wisenet Flateye IR dome cameras have been designed for high humidity environments and for where condensation might occur because of temperature differences. The main feature of the new H.265 domes, which are part of the Wisenet Q series, is that they have a flat surface cover which is applied to the front of the lens instead of the dome cover. This reduces IR diffused reflection which is caused by moisture, and in the absence of a normal transparent dome cover, it also removes the effect scratches can have on image clarity. “These new models have been introduced to provide a highly effective and robust solution for our end-user clients who require high definition cameras to operate effectively in what may be challenging environmental conditions, such as industrial or food processing plants,” said Uri Guterman, Head of Product & Marketing for Hanwha Techwin Europe, “Installers will also benefit from having to spend less time on site as there is no need to initially remove and then mount a dome cap during the installation process.” The 2 megapixel Wisenet QNE-6080RV and 4 megapixel QNE-7080RV Flateye domes have built-in IR functionality which ensures objects can be recognised at night up to a distance of 30 metres, whilst a 3.1x (3.2 – 10mm) motorised varifocal lens enables wide-angle monitoring. The new domes are also equipped with defocus detection which generates an alert if the camera is out of focus, and ‘defogging’ which makes corrections to blurry images which are captured in foggy conditions. Additional features include the world’s best wide dynamic range (WDR), which performs at up to 150dB to accurately produce images in scenes that simultaneously contain very bright and very dark areas, and lens distortion correction (LDC) which compensates for the image distortion that can occur with wide angle lenses. A hallway view feature provides a highly effective way to monitor narrow vertical areas such as corridors, tunnels and aisles, with the added bonus of minimising bandwidth and video storage requirements.

Vanderbilt have always had a firm belief that access control should not be difficult or time-consuming to install and use, and this is the simple thinking ACT Enterprise’s new feature set was developed around. The USP of the existing ACT system has been that it possesses all the features expected in a modern-day access control system, and is simple to install and maintain, regardless of access control experience. This matters to installers because when a system is fast to install and more straightforward to set-up and quote, it removes the complexity from access control and allows installers to get more done, more efficiently and in less time. This ultimately benefits their business and their bottom-line. The latest features of ACT Enterprise – integration with Vanderbilt’s award-winning SPC intrusion system, rules mapping engine, and a smartphone app – simply build on the back of this concept. The highest level of interest shown by customers when these new features were first demonstrated at IFSEC London back in June, was reserved for the rules mapping engine. Essentially, this feature is an easy point-and-click way of saying, “if this happens and this happens, and this doesn’t happen” then I want to do “this and this.” It is this ease-of-use and simplistic approach of the rules mapping to enable advanced configurations of triggers that make it a stand out feature set for customers. These can be actioned on events such as system input and output change, and card swipe outcomes across the access control system as well as other elements of an integrated system such as intrusion system events. “The ACT Enterprise rules mapping engine offers the customer an intuitive method to create rules based on access control events and Boolean logic,” stated Michael Moyna, Technical Product Marketing Manager at Vanderbilt, “It does this by permitting the creation of logical relationships between system elements through a drag-and-drop interface. “For the end user,” illustrated Moyna, “The addition of rules mapping ensures that system interactions can be seamlessly introduced on a system-wide basis, thereby enabling a higher level of added value to be realized, both for security and business-based functionalities.” The ACT Enterprise rules mapping engine ensures intuitive, easy-to-use I/O management for trigger detection with compatible devices. These devices are usually attached to a door or an automated electrical that closes the circuit on the I/O unit. When this circuit is closed, an alarm is sent over the network, and ACT Enterprise captures that.
