Video/Audio Analysis Technology
The number of video security cameras and systems being utilized is increasing at a high rate. However, the number of security personnel has not increased at the same rate. Viewing many monitors and cameras simultaneously prevents security personnel from focusing on core monitoring duties, which can lead to an increased probability of missing critical situations due to viewing fatigue. For these reasons, interest in intelligent audio and video analysis technology for overcoming such limitations and for efficient monitoring is expanding, and research is striving to advance. Intelligent audio and video analytics is a technology which alerts the operator of abnormal activities, detected through analyzing video and audio information, designed to prevent accidental or intentional actions and to minimize damage through prompt response. Hanwha Techwin is continuing to invest in the research and development of intelligent analysis technology, and this white paper is designed to provide information on the intelligent audio and video source analysis technology featured in Hanwha Techwin network cameras.
Opportunities in Access Control: Capitalizing on New RFID Applications
Like most businesses, those in the security industry have a need to increase revenue. For integrators, dealers, installers and manufacturers willing to think outside the box, a world of new access control opportunities is available.
Access control now encompasses more than a card reader wired to a fixed point on the wall. Complementary developments have expanded the usefulness of Radio Frequency Identification (RFID), happily at a time when costs are decreasing.
Today, the security departments deploy more and more surveillance cameras to watch the broader area closely 24 hours, 7 days a week. IP technology enables to build the open, reliable and scalable surveillance system. While the video data is increasing, a person can watch a limited amount of video data. It is common knowledge that persons lose their concentration in a short time and suspicious movements on the screen are frequently overlooked. Intelligent Video works 24 hours a day without stopping and improves the accuracy and effectiveness of surveillance.

Considering all the reports of hacks and breaches, you might get the feeling that data protection measures are not all they should be. More than ever before the product you select to protect your home and business is of utmost importance. The increasing availability of mobile access to home and commercial security systems via apps has escalated concerns. But based on the technology used in DMP systems and their record for maintaining solid data security, it is clear there is someone you can trust.
This white paper will provide an overview of the regulations expected to face substation managers in the next two years, how those regulations will impact the makeup of substation security, and the types of technology investments utilities should consider when designing security solutions to comply.
False fire alarms continue to be a problem for fire professionals, businesses, and the public. The number of false alarms still activated on a daily basis is unacceptable.
