Editor’s Note Major Industry Consolidation and Convergence Continues Two major industry consolidations were announced in the beginning of 2018. Motorola Solutions acquired Avigilon with an approximate US$1 billion transaction. Their joint announcement pointed out that this acquisition would boost Motorola Solutions, particularly in national government security and law enforcement. Seeing the important role of intelligent video on the rise in safe cities and business intelligence, the acquisition is a good fit for Motorola to acquire cameras that feed into safety workflows. In regard to convergence, this can be seen with Bosch Security Systems. The division has been renamed Bosch Building Technologies. Its product business sector will be known as Bosch Security and Safety Systems to include all the security and safety related products. Its systems integration sector should benefit a lot in order to provide commercial buildings with a more fit solution, including security, automation and energy services. These two headlines show security and safety technologies being gradually recognized by all verticals and commercial/government applications. Video and all security and safety-related data are proven to provide a lot of business values to achieve different purposes, which give systems integrators more opportunities. However, from a product supplier’s point of view, the challenge will be in the increasing investment in software and its compatibility and interoperability in multiple applications.

Data Pushes Business Intelligence Solutions With the arrival of the Internet of Things, data has becomes more available. That said, having a platform that analyzes and makes sense of this data, therefore, becomes critical. BY William Pao
S
tartups and growing businesses track key performance indicators closely, and data teams spend a lot of time to condense operational data, such as payments, CRM records and orders, into insights,” said Vincent Woon, Co-Founder of Holistics Software, which provides business intelligence solutions. “Holistics provides both the analysis and automation capabilities for teams to move away from the mundane and focus on understanding drivers of business growth.” According to Woon, what makes their solution unique and special is that all the data analytics is done on a single platform, as opposed to deploying one tool each for data preparation, reporting automation, visualization and advanced analytics. “Such a setup increases cost and reduced flexibility, especially as decision makers desire quicker turnaround from analysts. With one product that requires no additional training, teams can get started in under 10 minutes and build impactful visualizations for executive consumption,” he said. Holistics’ backend is hosted on the cloud, and the product is built on a Ruby-on-Rails stack with
a VueJS front end, Woon said. “As Holistics sits between a user writing queries and the database that is being queried, a lot of input/output operations, querying and displaying of data, and rendering of visualization are the key functionalities. Doing these in a quick, responsive, and within a browser window drives us to be efficient and lean,” he said. Meanwhile, with artificial intelligence (AI) and deep learning becoming more common, Woon said that Holistics can be an enabler in this regard, too. “Holistics will be an enabler for organizations that wish to adopt AI into their products, as model building requires data to be organized, categorized and automated. Holistics’ data preparation suite perfectly complements data science teams by reducing the effort in creating data sets, and improving the time taken to make changes as data scientists can make changes to SQL on the fly,” he said. “On the other hand, the analysts that Holistics empowers to answer business questions with data may find some of their duties replaced by voice assistants.”

Countries Differ on Tackling Cloud Data Security, Poll Shows A recent survey shows the level of security applied to data in the cloud varies by country. BY William Pao
P
rocessing and storage of data in the cloud has become more and more common. Against this backdrop, securing data in the cloud has also become critical. While end users in different markets across the globe realize this point, a recent survey shows that the level of security applied to data in the cloud varies from country to country. The research was conducted by the Ponemon Institute on behalf of Gemalto, with 3,285 IT and IT security practitioners surveyed across the U.S. (575), U.K. (405), Australia (244), Germany (492), France (293), Japan (424), India (497) and Brazil (355). The study reveals that while the vast majority of global companies (95 percent) have adopted cloud services, there is a wide gap in the level of security precautions applied by companies in different markets. In particular, German businesses are almost twice as likely to secure confidential or sensitive information in the cloud (61 percent) than British (35 percent), Brazilian (34 percent) and Japanese (31 percent) organizations, the numbers show. The study further shows that Germany’s lead in cloud security extends to its application of controls such as encryption and tokenization. The majority (61 percent) of German organizations revealed they secure sensitive or confidential information while being stored in the cloud environment, ahead of the U.S. (51 percent) and Japan (50 percent), the poll shows. Also according to the survey, about half of respondents say that payment information (54 percent) and customer data (49 percent) are at risk when stored in the cloud. Due to this perceived risk, almost all (88 percent) believe that the new General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) to be implemented in Europe will require changes in cloud governance, the survey shows. Meanwhile, the survey reveals that threequarters of global respondents (75 percent) think it is more complex to manage privacy and data protection regulations in a cloud environment than on-premise networks.

Connecting
Deep Learning and AI to Increase Security & Efficiency
What was once considered something out of a science-fiction movie is now being applied to almost every industry you can think of. Artificial intelligence and deep learning are here and they are increasing efficiency across industries. BY Eifeh Strom, Freelancer
O
ver the past few years, the artificial intelligence (AI) market has grown rapidly. With the advancements in processing power and the plethora of information now available as a result of IoT proliferation, more and more industries are putting AI to work. In markets such as retail, an increasing necessity for superior surveillance and monitoring at physical stores, growing awareness and application of AI in the retail industry, enhanced user experience, improved productivity, return on investment (ROI), mainlining inventory accuracy, and supply chain optimization are all driving AI adoption, according to a report by MarketsandMarkets. Growth of AI in the global retail market is expected to reach US$5 billion by 2022, up from $736.1 million in 2016, the report stated. In addition to AI, deep learning has also gained prominence. Despite often being lumped together with machine learning, deep learning takes machine learning a step further by creating smarter, more actionable intelligence through the use of deep neural networks (DNN). The market for deep learning is expected to be worth $1.8 billion by 2022, growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 65.3 percent between 2016 and 2022, according to MarketsandMarkets. The report attributes growth to increased R&D activity for the development of

better processing hardware for deep learning, growing adoption of cloud-based technology, and the growing usage of the deep learning technology across various industries. In the U.S. alone, the deep learning market is expected to grow at a CAGR of over 57 percent during the period 2017 to 2021, as stated in a report by Technavio. “Industries across the U.S. are striving hard to channelize and optimize multiple facets of operations, including data analysis, storage, strategy and decisionmaking. Deep learning has surfaced as a powerful tool that assists industries in improving the programming of automated machines/equipment and inducing self-learning capabilities,� the report said. In this article, we will focus on how AI and deep learning are being applied in the physical security industry and how it is helping drive building efficiency.
Using Deep Learning and AI in Security
Words such as big data and the IoT have been hot topics in the last few years. Better image resolution and the IoT have created a massive amount of data, which makes sifting through and maximizing it much more daunting. To
meet these demands, camera and software manufacturers are incorporating AI and deep learning technologies into their analytics. These advances in technology are helping to tackle all this information, thereby increasing the overall effectiveness and efficiency of such systems. In security alone the AI market was valued at roughly $3 billion in 2016, according to MarketsandMarkets; it is expected to reach $34.8 billion by 2025, at a CAGR of 31.4 percent during the period 2017 and 2025. “Today’s security industry has reached a critical mass in the volume of collected data and the limits of human attention to effectively search through that data,” said Willem Ryan, VP of Global Marketing and Communications at Avigilon. “As such, the demand for video analytics is increasing globally. Through the power of AI, Avigilon is developing technologies and products that dramatically increase the effectiveness of security systems by focusing human attention on what matters most.” Avigilon’s Appearance Search technology, a sophisticated deep learning AI search engine, is designed to make searching surveillance footage easy. “It incorporates the unique characteristics of a person’s face, as well as shape, size, texture, color, clothing and accessories, to quickly locate a specific person of interest across an entire site,” Ryan explained. “Using the unique combined features of a face based on hair color, texture and other facial features and accessories, this technology is designed to increase the speed and accuracy of investigations by detecting and understanding that it is searching for the same person, even if items such as their clothing change over time.” AI is also being used to bring a new level of automation to surveillance. An example is Avigilon’s Unusual Motion Detection (UMD) technology. “Without any predefined rules or setup, UMD technology is able to continuously learn what typical activity in a scene looks like, and then detect and flag unusual motion. This allows operators to search through large amounts
of footage faster, as UMD focuses their attention on the atypical events that may need further investigation, helping to reduce hours of work to minutes,” Ryan added. Tom Edlund, CTO of BriefCam explained how the use of deep learning helps them achieve significantly higher accuracy than traditional computer vision algorithms, provided there is sufficient data for training and enough resources to compute. “BriefCam offers applications for rapid review and search, real-time smart alerts and quantitative analysis of video from surveillance cameras. Our video processing module uses deep neural networks for object detection, classification and recognition.” “We use deep learning to learn the video scene dynamics and to generate rich and unique metadata. To give an example, a user can search for a woman, 1.7-meters tall wearing a red dress across multiple cameras. The video processing works on all stationary cameras without need for manual configuration,” Edlund added.
Creating More Efficient Buildings With AI
AI is also being used to create more efficient buildings. Things like energy efficiency are becoming increasingly important as smart cities and smart buildings adoption continue to grow. However, smart buildings can be made even smarter with the help of AI and deep learning. An article by an analyst at Navigant Research named three reasons for why commercial buildings are ready for AI: rapid adoption of IoT opens the door to AI in buildings, customers expect technologyenabled convenience, and AI can bolster building owners’ top line. Verdigris Technologies offers an AI-based IoT energy sensor and software as a service (SaaS) for commercial and industrial buildings that learns equipment electricity consumption and optimizes existing building management systems. “Our hardware solution generates a highly granular data stream (monitored at 8kHz). This data provides the foundation

ace recognition is now seeing increasing deployment among end-user entities due to its effectiveness in identifying individuals. “Face recognition is the sort of basic capability that could be useful across a very broad range of vertical markets. An automatic system to recognize a person out in the world and connect them with all the other times they have appeared is quite powerful,” said Michael Jamieson, Computer Vision Scientist at Senstar. The primary goal for deploying face recognition is still to secure people and assets against criminals, terrorists or other unwanted individuals. “Face recognition is used a lot in safe city, smart city and airports. In these environments, face recognition is frequently used for identifying blacklisted people,” said Sadi Vural, President and CEO of Ayonix. “Facial recognition software is making video surveillance systems highly effective in terms of minimizing the threat associated with criminal activity. It can be used to provide alerts when blacklisted people enter the building,” said Karen Sangha, Field Marketing Manager for Security Solutions at Panasonic. “This happened at DonauEinkaufszentrum shopping center, 70 miles north of Munich, Germany. It followed a robbery out of hours, when a cash till was stolen. Two weeks later the center’s security team was alerted by the system that the suspected robber had triggered an entrance camera and were able to apprehend him.” In fact, stopping cr ime is one of the main growth drivers fo r fa c e r e c o g n i t i o n , w h i ch MarketsandMarket forecast

016 was a turbulent period for the Middle East. Marked by ongoing wars and political coups, the region also suffered a major blow when oil prices fell significantly, even dipping to its lowest in over a decade at one point. Remnants of the crisis lingered in 2017, affecting countries that are more dependent on oil and gas more than others. Nonetheless, companies have seen a pick up in the economy and in the security sphere as well over the past year, boosted in part by an increased focus on security and stringent implementation of new security regula-

been a balanced year in the Middle East security market region. Some markets performed better than others but there are definitely new opportunities in all the sectors and we are very happy with how 2017 ended. The team is geared and looking forward to 2018.”
Solutions and Integration Lead the Way
The Middle East market continued to face challenges like the slower uptake of new technology in the region (which can take longer as these would need to be approved or certified by local authorities first) and product commoditization. Many companies have responded by differentiating themselves from the rest of the market through offering solutions, rather than products,

s Toward Growth and adding more value into their services. “We’re pushing solutions rather than products. That’s why we want to change our image for the market. Unlike some other companies, we offer them a complete solution that can bring them more benefits. Such as in projects involving building automation, CCTV is just a small part, but we can bring them the complete solution and not just CCTV,” said Gabriel Yang, Operation Director for VIVOTEK Middle East. Many have also started framing their products as a component of a big integrated picture that can offer customers more security or business intelligence. “For the large segment, integration is definitely the hot word. We see a growing demand for integrated security solutions. We have our own software solution that integrates all of our systems under one umbrella, called Building Integration System (BIS). This platform also allows integration with third party applications, like building management systems, elevators or air conditioning in the building. No doubt this is on the rise. Such integrated solutions also come with the request to their manufacturers like ourselves not only to supply the solution, but also services,” said Erika Görge, Corporate Communications for Bosch Security Systems.
“Over the past 10 years, we saw end users and consultants in the Middle East caring much about integration and having different security systems communicating to each other and providing one single user interface or one single platform that is integrated to multiple systems,” said Firas Jadalla, Regional Director of Middle East and Africa for Genetec. “What we have been offering to the market, besides integration, is unification. Our platform, Security Center, has an open architecture infrastructure, enabling us to support user’s hardware of choice as well as provide built-in video management, access control, LPR, intercom SIP protocol, intrusion alarm system and advanced mapping built-in on a single platform with one user interface.” Genetec has also been developing and improving its Mission Control which is a decision support system that supports dynamic SOPs. “It supports the end user or the owner to make the right decision or action based on an input that could be from a human or automated. Everything is documented. We are able to measure the performance, how long it took for the operator to respond. This can be used for evaluation and to improve the process of training the operator to address and handle different scenarios,” Jadalla added.

IoT — Factory
Driving Production Efficiency With
Amid fierce competition in the manufacturing sector, plants and factories are striving to increase productivity and keep downtime to a minimum. Now, operators can rely on the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) and data generated by connected devices to make the production floor smarter than ever. While data is commonly processed by servers in the backend, more and more this is done on the edge.

The hospitality industry is getting more competitive than ever. Against this backdrop, hotels are seeking to differentiate themselves by offering cutting-edge service to guests. With the arrival of IoT, hotel operators are now able to use connected devices and the data they generate to maximize the guest experience, at the same time achieving further operational efficiency and energy savings.

hroughout history, manufacturers have seen several revolutions taking place, each upending the way manufacturing had been done. The Industrial Revolution of the 18th century saw a replacement of human labor with machines. The second revolution came during the early 20th century when the concept of production line was introduced. Then, the rise of computers, networks and robotics further transformed manufacturing. Now, Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), also known as Industry 4.0, has sparked another industrial revolution, whereby operators rely on connected devices and sensors to boost productivity and efficiency. “Sensors can be used to generate data related to machine health, process health, cleaning in place (CIP), security and production planning and asset tracking. Consequently, it can help in moving toward a proactive approach in the operations and improving productivity. From a quality perspective, additional sensors are being deployed to enable better process quality control,” said Keshab Panda, CEO and MD of L&T Technology Services. “Sensors measure numerous applications in a factory, but their use is dependent on what the business considers to be the most critical
applications, for example, environmental (temperature, humidity and pressure). Others are going to look at safety/security, so you may see proximity or optical sensors that will monitor an area. There are also sensors that measure production/machine health such as acceleration and vibration,” said Eric Ehlers, Vertical Marketing Manager at Cisco. “Ultimately, this data provides visibility — driving better operational efficiency, improving automation processes, safety/security and monitoring and optimizing asset utilization. This information can also be used to drive better supply chain utilization and prototyping of new products.” In fact, the market potential for IIoT is not to be ignored. According to a market research report by MarketsandMarkets, the IIoT market is expected to grow from US$113.7 billion in 2015 to reach $195.5 billion by 2022, at a compound annual growth rate of 7.9 percent between 2016 and 2022. “The manufacturing vertical is witnessing a transformation through the implementation of the smart factory concept and factory automation technologies. Government initiatives such as Industrie 4.0 in
Germany and Plan Industriel in France are expected to promote the implementation of the IIoT solutions in Europe,” the report said. “Moreover, leading countries in the manufacturing vertical such as the U.S., China and India are expected to further expand their manufacturing industries and deploy smart manufacturing technologies to increase the contribution of this vertical to their national GDPs.”
The Roles of Data
At the center of IIoT is data, which helps the factory operator gain better visibility of the production floor. “Traditionally, and for decades, sensor data has been mainly measured for three purposes: as inputs to the real-time control process of the machine/factory; to display it in control rooms, so human controllers can view and react to various changes or be alerted by simple rules; and stored locally for post-mortem purposes and used after a failure for analysis and re-adjustment of control processes,” said Eitan Vesely, CEO of Presenso. Specifically, data can help with preventive maintenance, which has become critical for manufacturers in their efforts to minimize factory downtime.
How Security Equipment Fits In
Besides industrial sensors, factory operators can also benefit from security equipment such as video surveillance and access control, whose primary function is still to upkeep the safety and security of the production facility. “Cameras are often deployed first as a physical security step across the factory, helping support improved safety in a facility. Sensors, combined with cameras, can be used to ensure the right access for the right people,” said Eric Ehlers, Vertical Marketing Manager at Cisco. “Data from access control systems can ultimately help refine the rules and requirements of ever-changing business requirements. This will ultimately define policy and provide visibility that can support better compliance, as well as help mitigate future threats that could impact production.” More and more, video in factories performs other tasks as well. One example is machine vision, whereby video taken by cameras is used to detect defects or direct robotic arms or automatic guidance vehicles in the factory. In a report by MarketsandMarkets, the market research firm forecasted that the overall machine vision market will be valued at US$14.4 billion by 2022, growing at a CAGR of 8.4 percent between 2016 and 2022.
“The major factors driving the growth of the machine vision market are the increasing need for quality inspection and automation across industry verticals, surge in demand for vision-guided robotic systems in automotive, pharmaceutical, food and packaging and industrial sectors, and growing demand for application-specific machine vision systems,” the report said. Meanwhile, cameras are also used to drive better insight into process, Ehlers said. “For example, sensors that detect motion can also be aligned with cameras to view movement and create heat maps of a factory setting to understand traffic flows. Sensors can also be used to monitor the process and then trigger alerts in hard-to-reach areas within a factory setting. They also support better remote troubleshooting and help reduce product loss. Some are used to monitor product quality, looking for deviations from a reference part,” he said.

AWS Seeks New Partners to Provide Video Analytics Amazon Kinesis Video Streams (KVS) is a video ingestion and storage service that allows users to stream videos to Amazon Web Services (AWS) for analytics, machine learning and other processing. AWS partners with companies specialized in video analytics or artificial intelligence solutions enable users to build custom applications on the KVS platform and take advantage of these features. Since Agent Vi, Veritone and ABEJA are among the first companies AWS has partnered with, we asked them to talk about the benefits of such a partnership and what they expect to see going forward.

ere is how Amazon Kinesis Video Streams (KVS) works. First, KVS provides software development kits to manufacturers to install on their security cameras or other devices — this makes it easier for users to securely stream videos or any time-encoded data from their connected devices to AWS. Then, KVS ingests, stores and processes video streams at any scale for real-time and batch analytics, allowing users to quickly access and retrieve video fragments based on timestamps. Finally, KVS enables users to further analyze video data using video recognition or other applications that take advantage of computer vision and video analytics. It is during this last step that the strengths of AWS partners such as Agent Video Intelligence (Agent Vi), Veritone and ABEJA come into play. The biggest advantage of KVS is that it creates and maintains a readyto-use video ingestion system, in which all the infrastructure necessary to manage video streams is already in place. Users do not need to worry about configuration, scalability, available storage and data security as the number of streams grows; instead, they can focus on building their own artificial intelligence (AI) or machine learning applications to analyze video data. KVS can be applied to many different
www.asmag.com
scenarios. For example, in a smart home setting the user can stream videos from a baby monitor to AWS for simple playback on a smartphone or some more advanced tasks such as facial recognition. In a retail store where there are multiple security cameras installed, the owner could stream footage captured in real time to AWS and then analyze live feeds using video analytics applications to understand consumer behavior.
Forming Partnerships
While AWS offers its scalable and cost-effective KVS service to end users, it has also established the AWS Partner Network (APN) program. The program is designed to help customers identify companies with machine learning competency and expertise to support integration and deployment of various solutions. The designation recognizes members who provide solutions that help organizations solve their data challenges and enhance machine learning applications. Both Agent Vi and Veritone are APN partners. According to John Ward, VP of Marketing at Veritone, a company must first meet three requirements to
“ The biggest advantage of KVS is that it creates and maintains a readyto-use video ingestion system, in which all the infrastructure necessary to manage video streams is already in place.”
become an APN partner. First, it must have more than four AWS customer references regarding completed machine learning projects. The references must be for projects that started within the past 12 months and are actually in the production stage. Second, its products or solution must be available in three or more AWS regions. Third, there must be a reference for an machine learning case that is optimized for security, reliability, performance, cost optimization and operational excellence. innoVi, Agent Vi’s cloud-based video analytics software as a service (SaaS), is implemented by deep learning technology and other advanced algorithms that enable detection accuracy. Able to distinguish between people, vehicles and static objects, innoVi can not only detect security incidents in real time but also perform analysis that transforms security cameras into intelligent devices, uncovering previously unavailable information. Veritone has developed aiWARE, an AI operating system that leverages AI-based cognitive computing, including facial recognition, transcription, geolocation and sentiment detection to analyze unstructured audio and video data, such as TV broadcasts and surveillance footage. In a press release, Chad Steelberg, Chairman and CEO of Veritone said, “Institutions and organizations recognize the necessity of analyzing unstructured data at scale in near real-time. aiWARE provides them a way to unlock this data, accessing deep analytics and providing business insights like never before. Our collaboration with Amazon Web Services allows customers to deploy our platform in the cloud within minutes, giving them the ability to harness AI to make decisions with more confidence.”
Mutual Benefits
The partnership between AWS and the aforementioned three companies presents a win-win situation. For Agent Vi, the integration of innoVi
with KVS allows the camera owner to add smart analytics functionalities that can automatically detect and alert to events of interest. “The collaboration between Agent Vi and AWS brings a truly disruptive service to the market, that leverages advanced cloud and AI technologies to make any camera, of any brand and from any location, seamlessly smart within seconds,” said Itsik Kattan, CEO of Agent Vi, in a press release. One of the biggest benefits brought by the integration is that it saves hardware costs for customers. “Access to the surveillance footage is obviously mandatory to employ innoVi, and we have so far implemented it using our own innoVi Edge, which is an appliance deployed in the customer’s network that serves as a cloud-gateway between the cameras and our cloud platform. Now, using the integration with Kinesis Video Streams, the video will be streamed directly from the cameras to the AWS cloud, allowing us to access the video in the cloud directly, for further analysis. This simplifies the customer’s deployment, eliminating the need and cost of the innoVi Edge,” Kattan said. Kattan added, “Now that the integration with Kinesis Video Streams can eliminate the need for innoVi Edge in certain cases, innoVi can become a pure SaaS solution. This opens up opportunities regarding how to make innoVi more available to potential customers.” With the integration of Veritone aiWARE and KVS, users are free from the trouble of managing a huge amount of video data while enjoying the advantage of aiWARE making every frame of video searchable for objects, faces, keywords and more. “Amazon Kinesis Video Streams can benefit Veritone by allowing some customers to more easily stream their content to the AWS Cloud where Veritone will process and enrich their content with AI as it is captured, in near real-time and at scale. For example, a customer that has a lot of content being captured on-premise such as
