The Future of surveillance and security is in full convergence to IP/Network based solutions. On demand capability is fast becoming a previlent standard and SI is embracing new technologies as a pioneer in the on demand surveillance arena.

Increased bandwidth, better compression and hosted security systems are making Security as a Service (SaaS) a reality, alleviating the customer’s task of software maintenance, ongoing operation, and support. This panel of experts will explain how IP-based monitoring solutions are effectively used in providing SaaS, outline the benefits of this new model, and give real-life examples of its usage.

Come see us speak about the new Secure-i On Demand Surveillance Solution at TechSec 2009.

Secure Integrations – Booth# 256

Over the past few years Golf Mill added exclusive restaurants, a movie theatre, an off-track betting facility and a 24 Hour Fitness gym, resulting in increased vehicle and visitor traffic, requiring additional security measures. To avoid the costly process of ripping up newly installed floors to lay network cables for video surveillance, mall management General Growth Properties, in tandem with ownership, opted for the Firetide wireless network. Solutions provider Secure Integrations installed network cameras from Axis Communications in overt locations around the 120 specialty shops, four department stores and 89 acres of parking spaces, and connected them wirelessly over the Firetide network to the central security office in the mall.

“Our Firetide wireless surveillance system is a great tool to assist our tenants and customers,” said Michael D. Williams, senior general manager at General Growth Properties. “Whatever the situation – someone slipping and falling, shoplifting or a major incident – our security staff can respond quickly and proactively.”

Mall security officers monitor the camera system, and video analytics software alerts officers when unauthorized movements are detected. During patrols, officers can access the video feed on PDAs, allowing officers to view feeds from any location, making the officers significantly more efficient.

“Using cable and analog CCTVs would have cost a minimum of three times more in 1 million square feet of retail space,” said Eugene Szatkowski, president of Secure Integrations. “A wired system would have required the installation of multiple digital video recorders around the mall. Firetide wireless mesh nodes and access points together with the Axis cameras provide a cost-effective and flexible alternative, and support what we believe to be the largest wireless security network in a retail environment.”

If any part of the network needs to be relocated, a Firetide node and Axis camera can be moved in a day. The Axis network cameras feature motion detection, audio detection and tampering alarms, providing additional set of tools to security personnel. Video footage is stored for 30 days, but any time an incident takes place the evidence can be cataloged for up to two years. The system uses digital storage, which makes it easier to e-mail and distribute the video. Mall officials also use the footage to monitor traffic flows, helping event planners and security operations to anticipate and better manage crowds.

“Facilities management companies recognize that  the benefits of wireless video surveillance are multifaceted,” said Bo Larsson, chief executive officer of Firetide. “Decreasing safety risks and incidents, improving the efficiency of security personnel, serving tenants and visitors, and better managing increased traffic flows are excellent examples of how Firetide technology improves facilities management and security operations.”
