EDITORS COMMENT

Top 15 continue to dominate

T

he growth of the global security market shows no signs of slowing down, according to the latest IHS Markit Physical Security Equipment and Services Report, published by SecurityWorld.

Com on 29 September 2016. In fact, the world’s top 15 look set to increase their lead even further.

The report says that the market share of the top 15 security equipment and services companies accounted for 21.4 per cent of the equipment and services market in 2014, growing to 23.1 per cent in 2015.

According to the latest IHS Markit Physical Security Equipment and Services Report, these leading security companies will further increase their market share in 2016.

The main findings of the report show that the combined equipment and services market was estimated to be worth

$123.67 billion for 2015 and as the physical security market continues to consolidate, Tyco International was the largest supplier to the equipment and services market in 2015, comprising 3.8 per cent of the market, followed by ADT at 2.9 per cent, and the biggest mover, Hikvision at 2.5 per cent.

The equipment market consists of video surveillance, access control, intruder alarms, entrance control, consumer video surveillance, mobile video surveillance and body-worn cameras, and enterprise storage.

The services market consists of access control as a service (ACaaS), video surveillance as a service (VSaaS), remote monitoring services, and security systems integration.

According to IHS Markit analyst, Oliver Philippou, it is important to note that this market share estimate does not include mergers and acquisitions that have taken place in 2016.

These include the merger of Tyco with Johnson Controls, the acquisition of Diebold’s North American electronics security business by Securitas, the acquisition of ADT

by Apollo Global Management and the merger between Protection 1 and ASG Security.

He added that these three deals will further expand the market share of the top 15 security companies.

The report analysts added, however, that it is not just large-scale acquisitions that are concentrating supply.

Chinese firms, such as Hikvision and Dahua Technology have continued to grow much faster than the market average, not only in their domestic market but internationally too.

A major contributing factor to their significant growth rate, and one that will be no surprise to industry experts, has been their ability to offer products at lower prices than their competitors.

It was reported by Global Security Publication, Asmag.Com in November 2015

EDITORIAL POLICY Statements made or opinions expressed in articles in Security Focus Africa do not necessarily reflect the official views of the Security Association of South Africa (SASA) nor those of any of the other security associations listed in Security Focus Africa.

that the Chinese economy impacts heavily on the global security market with leading Chinese manufacturers, Hikvision and Dahua rapidly changing the landscape.

However, at the time, even though the total sales revenue for these two companies ranked them in the top five, their revenue from other global markets still only accounted for 20-30 per cent of their total revenue.

Both companies remain actively involved in worldwide project markets. One of the most significant markets named is that of safe/smart cities projects, particularly in developing markets.

They have also reportedly developed their own dedicated VMS and total video surveillance solutions.

Another major global trend says IHS, is the fact that single-product suppliers are increasingly being challenged by solution providers to offer pre-integrated products.

Integrators are increasingly leveraging single-vendor solutions to reduce installation costs and focus on the more profitable service and maintenance contracts.

The established realities of the market are changing, as best-of-breed product suppliers are being encouraged by solution providers to provide pre-integrated products.

Integrators are increasingly leveraging single-vendor solutions to reduce installation costs and focus on the more profitable service and maintenance contracts.

Security camera shipments are also booming, and forecasts say will exceed to 100 million units in 2016, but annual revenue growth has slowed to low singledigit rates. A war of attrition is being waged over the more price-sensitive markets.

In spite of the price pressure and hypercompetitive landscape of the last few years, the competitive landscape has not changed as much as one might expect.

According to ongoing analysis from IHS Markit, 11 of the same companies remained in the top 15 ranking of video-surveillance equipment suppliers from 2010 to 2015.

The companies gaining market share are no longer the new kids on the block. They are long-standing industry leaders.

NEWS

Crime climbs despite overall decrease The South African crime statistics for 2016 were released at the start of September and what they revealed had South Africans reeling. At face value the statistics showed that crime in the country has decreased as a whole, but a whole different story lies just under the surface.

P

olice Minister Nkosinathi Nhleko hailed this overall decrease as a success for the South African Police Service which, while necessarily true, doesn’t account for the increase in the violent crimes that leave most South African citizens living in fear.

Crimes such as murder, home invasions and burglary, and hijacking all increased in 2015/16, leaving the country worse off than what the official statistics would make people believe.

With South Africa already boasting one of the highest murder rates in the world, the 4.9 per cent increase in this category does little to allay the fears of locals and foreign travellers.

This increase means the rate of murder in South Africa has increased by approximately 20 per cent in the last four years, with an average of 51 people murdered per day in our country.

Car hijackings saw a drastic increase of 14.3 per cent, likely in direct relation to the decrease in vehicle theft due to increasingly effective anti-theft measures on modern cars. Gauteng alone saw more than 7 000 instances of carjacking in 2015/16, more than every other province combined.

Another crime that most South Africans fear falling victim to is home invasions and burglaries, which increased by 2.7 per cent in the last year.

Robberies at non-residential premises increased by a further 2.8 per cent, while cash-in-transit companies saw themselves

become even bigger targets as revealed by an overall 15.1% increase in this area.

The biggest issue that South African law enforcement faces in the fight against crime is who they are targeting. Gareth Newham, head of the Governance, Crime, and Justice Division of the Institute for Security Studies (ISS) in Pretoria suggests that our police services are looking at the wrong people, particularly with the prominence of organised crime circles in the areas of hijacking and home invasions.

“The police need to focus on those people committing armed robberies and dealing in stolen goods,” Mr Newham said. “The police should not see their job as policing all 50-odd million people in South Africa. Their job should be on the repeat offenders who commit certain kinds of violent crimes over and over again.”

Mr Newham suggests that instead of relying on the police to try and fight every crime in South Africa, there should be a shift in focus to equip future generations with the tools and mindset to become productive and law-abiding citizens.

“Unfortunately, public safety is deteriorating in South Africa,” he said. “We need more social workers, we need better trained teachers, and we need to implement interventions that prevent young people becoming violent.”

Without drastic changes in government policies and how our law enforcement agencies approach the fight against crime, we’ll likely see a continued increase in these

crime statistics every year.

Socio-economic factors such as a weak and fluctuating economy drive a disproportionate number of South Africans to a life of crime, meaning change needs to start from the ground up.

SPECIAL FEATURE

Transport security and fleet management Transport plays a critical role in South Africa’s economy and access to a safer, more affordable, accessible and reliable transport system is of critical importance to government and civil society.

With thousands of drivers and fleets of vehicles transporting high-value goods in an unfortunately high-crime environment, the need for robust and pro-active security systems is greater than ever.

CCTV and MDVR Technology One company that has been meeting the needs of individuals and fleet management companies in South Africa since 1997 is Inkwazi Video Tracking.

According to Nicolette Bailey, managing director, Inkwazi Video Tracking, vehicle fleet owners face a number of risks when transporting goods.

Instead of creating a typical CCTV monitoring product, where tracking data is used to enhance the video footage, Inkwazi uses video footage to enhance the tracking data. This means the customer has all the fleet management functionality with the added ability to apply a visual component to reporting.

“Using MDVR technology, we are able to provide live real time visuals from multiple cameras in a vehicle to any user at any location as long as they have an internet connection,” says Ms Bailey.

“Added to this we are able to capture and store high quality video footage on-board for an extended period of time, typically around 30 days.

“The user has the ability to replay historical footage as a video stream from the vehicle in response to a time-based request by the user, even if the vehicle is out on the road, or can download the video files directly.”

She adds that through the tracking technology, the system is able to identify user definable events and will automatically download a customisable time period of video footage around the event to the system, where it will be preserved until deleted.

The time period can later be changed to increase the amount of video footage to be included.

These events are highlighted within the system, allowing the customer to quickly identify and view critical video footage. The majority of influential activities cannot be identified by the tracking system alone and only come to light after the fact.

The system has the ability for users to not only review the video footage, but also generate user-defined events, forcing the system to automatically downloaded and store the relevant footage and tracking data.

SECURITY FOCUS AFRICA | VOL 34 NO 9 2016

Ms Bailey says the Inkwazi system is aimed at any vehicle owner who wishes to reduce costs by monitoring the activities of their vehicle. The system can be used by the single vehicle owners and by organisations with large fleets.

Some of the most common risks that fleet or single vehicle owners face is drivers who pick up unwanted passengers, theft of fuel, missing goods, or goods that arrived damaged at their destination, or vehicle accidents caused through no fault of the driver.

“The flexibility of MDVR technology allows different types of cameras to be installed in any location in the vehicle and allows for a multitude of monitoring scenarios,” adds Ms Bailey.

Proactive Monitoring According to Laurence Smith, executive at Graphic Image Technologies, companies in this sector have to contend with a broad range of challenges including organised crime leading to theft, unauthorised use of a vehicle and even vandalism.

SPECIAL FEATURE

With reliability and cost-effectiveness of systems crucial considerations for both the transport sector and the communities they protect, Mr Ehrke believes wireless will remain a compelling enabler in public spaces.

“When it comes to security operations, equipment must perform flawlessly as required, when required. Much of this is, in turn, dependent on the technology supporting the system. As such, any organisation needs to carefully consider the functionality of the network technology in place, ensuring that it delivers when it’s needed most,” he concludes.

Comprehensive surveillance to identify incidents Another comprehensive system is the advanced QIC CAM mobile digital vehicle recorder technology, launched in South Africa

by QCIC in late-2015. It allows for full and comprehensive video surveillance on the inside and outside of an asset on a 24/7 basis – thereby ensuring greater clarity on issues related to fuel theft, driver behaviour and outdoor conditions, to name a few.

According to Skygistics, sales and marketing executive Henry Smith, the QIC CAM mobile vehicle recorder platform is designed to provide a “360° view” to numerous industries, including; commercial fleet operators, public transport, ambulance and emergency services and industrial plant and machinery operators, and is available in three configurations.

He says the first configuration involves two cameras – one facing the road, and the other inside the cab.

The second configuration features a third camera that either faces out of the back window, or is placed at the vehicle’s fuel tank.

The third configuration offers a fourth camera that can be placed in numerous positions to ensure full video coverage of the vehicle and its surrounds.

“In addition to the video footage the QIC CAM solution also provides accurate location based data with in-cab audio to complete a three-dimensional recollection of all events

10

and recordings,” says Mr Smith.

“All units come equipped with mobile hard drive technology with storage capacity that ranges from 500 GB to 3 TB, to ensure that it provides comprehensive video, audio and tracking evidence of exact driving conditions and driver behaviour, which not only encourages safer driving, but also resolves any disputes related to all incidents,” he adds.

The local rise of telematics Gone are the days of viewing vehicle telematics as a grudge purchase, not only by fleet management companies, but the insurance industry as well.

Safety and Security is an enormous concern in South Africa, which has a reputation for high crime rates and some of the most dangerous roads in the world with a high number of road fatalities.

Despite the ongoing debate about connectivity limitations and the high cost of data, there are already a number of insurance companies that are developing customer solutions around telematics technology.

Fleet managers are also seeing the benefits that fitted telematics provide when it comes to securing bank loans and insurance rates.

With the cost of fleet management high on the agenda, advances in telematics technology, provides fleet managers with a range of benefits in terms of optimised operations, better driver behaviour, as well as a decrease in the risk of accidents and thefts.

Protecting your fleet investment Fleet management is all about increasing efficiency and ensuring security while keeping costs under control. Vehicle theft and hijacking remains a major risk but the use of panic buttons and early warning systems, also act as a major deterrent for criminals.

The security of the fleet is managed remotely from a control room environment, which can elicit an appropriate response, based on the situation. A telematics investment can also increase efficiency and bring down costs.

When vehicles are fitted with telematics systems, managers also save on insurance

SECURITY FOCUS AFRICA | VOL 34 NO 9 2016

costs as data collected during any potential accidents can decrease the time taken to process and manage insurance claims.

Reporting The evolution of information technology and telematics provides a wealth of information.

However, the key difference comes in the way that these reports are structured, so that fleet managers can use the wealth of information to maximum benefit. Central reporting inputs can be managed from a central point anywhere in the country and instructions sent from a remote site to vehicle drivers.

Software management Advances in software optimisation allows fleet managers to tap into effective route optimisation. Software algorithms ensure that drivers use the shortest, safest and most effective routes between delivery points.

Driver behaviours Top of the range telematics systems installed in commercial vehicles now enable certain devices, including driver behaviour systems or indicators. Control room or fleet managers are also able to communicate with drivers directly in real time, cautioning them about speed, traffic and road or weather conditions.

Monitoring driver behaviour also allows fleet managers to take long-term corrective action and include additional driver training is applicable. Monitoring drivers allows fleet managers to better manage and schedule estimated time of arrival and delivery.

Vehicle maintenance The importance of an efficient vehicle maintenance scheduling system cannot be underestimated.

While fleet managers may be tempted to save costs by delaying preventative maintenance this could result in long-term expenses and unaffordable downtime.

Vehicle maintenance monitoring and reporting can assist in scheduling maintenance for those periods in the year when work schedules are quieter than usual.

SPECIAL FEATURE

Increasing transportation security

U

nfortunately, in recent years it is the threat of terrorism that has dramatically increased the importance of real time video surveillance as a means to saving lives by helping to identify and prevent threats in critical situations.

As one of the busiest public environments, public transportation vehicles (including trains, metros, buses and trams) are proving to be a vital part of the public space that must also be covered by CCTV. “From installing CCTV cameras across city centres and high traffic areas and maintaining these, security companies are finding themselves having to diversify their services, and becoming increasingly reliant on ISPs (internet service providers) in order to deliver on their mandates,” says Nick Ehrke, Sales Director, RADWIN Southern Africa. “This has made the role and function of wireless and other technologies critical in terms of guaranteeing the uptime required for various security applications.”

CCTV cameras have become a default ‘must-have’ feature on-board public transport. All over the world vehicles are equipped with several cameras for security and operational purposes. Early on-board CCTV solutions did not offer any real-time capability. Connectivity from the moving vehicle was not available and so all camera footage was stored in on-board video recorders (NVR/DVR). This footage would be available only once it had been offloaded from the recorder. So, in the event a video stream was needed following an incident, it could be viewed only offline at a substantial delay.

Today, real-time monitoring from moving vehicles to a control center has become an urgent necessity. Being able to identify a suspect as he boards a vehicle and follow his journey has become vital. Identifying suspicious behaviour or locating an unattended bag that was left on the train in real time may prevent any serious incidents and the loss of life.

So the need is clearly out there. A variety of solutions are available today but transportation operators have several factors to consider before deploying a network: • Throughput: High throughput is a must.

New HD cameras require several Mbps per camera, streaming several cameras from

Today, millions of closed-circuit television (CCTV) cameras are installed across public space with the aim of reducing crime and increasing public safety. Traditionally, CCTV cameras were mainly used as a deterrent against crime, violence and vandalism.

each vehicle or carriage could require as much as 30-50Mbps per vehicle (and this will probably grow in the future). Naturally, a proven existing high-throughput solution, with a solid roadmap for future enhancement should be considered.

• Stability: High throughput alone is not enough, as data streaming must be stable everywhere along the route. Any inconsistent performance can result in jittery video, pixelated images and freezes in the video streams – which will limit the solution’s effectiveness.

• Control: Once deployed, the operator will want the ability to fully control his system.

Solutions based on existing commercial cellular networks leave the operator at the mercy of the cellular network provider, with no control or guarantee of performance. Any service degradation or coverage issues will result in inconsistent CCTV footage without the ability to take action to rectify the situation.

• Deployment Challenges: Deploying along a rail track or in metro tunnels is always a huge challenge. This challenge is amplified by the fact that any work near the tracks will require a halt in train service. Solutions requiring dense trackside deployments will greatly increase the project cost and time to deploy.

• Multi-Service Communication Network: High throughput, combined with strict QoS mechanisms (to ensure CCTV performance) can provide the operator

with the option to introduce additional real time services on the same communication network (e.g. targeted advertising, PIS, passenger Wi-Fi, on-board Femtocells, etc.). Naturally, CCTV service levels will be assured, but any additional available throughput can be utilised.

Since public transport will always remain a target for criminal and terrorist activity, real time CCTV is becoming a basic condition for public safety. To maintain consistent, stable connectivity with a moving vehicle, a private network deployed along the route is the optimal solution – providing the operator with full control and accountability.

A solution that minimises the number of trackside deployments, while assuring high throughput, alongside strict Quality of Service (potentially enabling additional services when possible) will help validate the financial feasibility of such a deployment.

With reliability and cost-effectiveness of systems crucial considerations for both the transport sector and the communities they protect, Ehrke believes that wireless will remain a compelling enabler in public spaces. “When it comes to security operations, equipment must perform flawlessly as required, when required.

Much of this is, in turn, dependent on the technology supporting the system. As such, any organisation needs to carefully consider the functionality of the network technology in place, ensuring that it delivers when it’s needed most,” he concludes.

SPECIAL FEATURE

Latest technology for port security These days, video technology has become an indispensable element of the security arrangements at ports. With its introduction of the Panomera multifocal sensor system, German developer and manufacturer Dallmeier has unveiled an entirely new approach to video surveillance of large areas.

This unique technology offers many advantages for those responsible for port security. We spoke with Roland Meier, director of Panomera Multifocal Sensor Systems at Dallmeier.

Mr Meier, what is so innovative about the Panomera system?

With the Panomera multifocal sensor system, a huge area can be monitored from a single location extremely efficiently.

The most impressive aspect of the product is that it combines the overall view with simultaneous top detail resolution. Even more distant objects are displayed with the same resolution as objects in the foreground of the picture.

That really sounds very simple ...

In principle it is exactly what the user wants from a video surveillance camera. The entire area observed by the camera should be displayed in uniformly high quality.

But anyone who has ever zoomed in on an image will notice a marked difference: The farther you “move to the back” of the scene, meaning, zoom into the picture, the greater the loss of detail, causing the picture to become blurry.

While objects in the foreground are certainly displayed with sufficient resolution, when the user attempts to enlarge objects from the background, they appear as so many illdefined blocks.

Let’s consider an example taken from real life. Look at the image of a large port area. The number plates of the vehicles or the labels of the containers in the front of the picture are still legible, but in the back the image loses definition when it is enlarged and it is no longer possible to make out the letters.

This is why when we developed the Panomera one of our objectives was to ensure that the resolution never fell below the specified parameters, not even in the most distant areas of the image.

What advantages does this have for monitoring ports?

Panomera works well both for very wide

12

panoramas and for areas involving great distances.

In effect, it is as if you were to combine the advantages of an overview camera and a high optical zoom PTZ camera. Panomera records the entire area continuously, like an overview camera – unlike a PTZ camera for example, with which only the currently active zoom area is recorded.

But, at the same time you can move and zoom anywhere in the entire coverage area – and individuals are clearly recognisable even at distances of more than 160 m.

May I ask you about this briefly?

So continuous recording of the entire surveillance area is not standard practice?

Until now, no. Of course, fixed dome or box cameras always record the whole of the area they are monitoring. But these cameras are not equipped with an optical zoom, so they are not suitable for monitoring expansive areas, or at least only as overview cameras.

This is why a lot of PTZ cameras are being used at the moment. These can be used to zoom and move within the scenes.

But at the same time PTZ cameras have a definite disadvantage: They can only ever record the area that the operator is currently watching live.

If the operator is currently zooming in on the front left portion of the image, only this area is being recorded. So if an incident were to take place at a different location at the same time, it would not be possible to review it afterwards.

With Panomera, on the other hand, the entire scene is recorded continuously and in maximum detail resolution – regardless of which area the operator is viewing live. This

SECURITY FOCUS AFRICA | VOL 34 NO 9 2016

makes it possible to analyse incidents after they have occurred.

Couldn’t you also achieve this effect by using several HD cameras in conjunction with each other?

An operator can work much more efficiently with a single, synchronised system than he ever could with multiple HD cameras strung together in line. The operator would have to concentrate on lots of individual images simultaneously.

Moreover, the field viewing angles could never be synchronised with one another as well as is possible with a single, integrated multifocal sensor system. Quite apart from the fact that the operator would be engaged in a constant “battle for resources” in order to obtain comparable resolution.

Another advantage of the Panomera sensor concept is a substantially higher dynamic range. Panomera works with several sensors, each of which selects its own exposure strategy in order to achieve ideal saturation.

While with other cameras an average value is determined, Panomera can make distinctions more effectively. Light areas are exposed for a shorter time and dark areas for a longer time.

As a result, situations with a large dynamic range can also be recorded with

SPECIAL FEATURE

good quality, without overexposure or “drowned” black areas.

If the entire scene is monitored by just one camera, is it only possible for one security operator to work with the camera or can several operators access it?

In contrast to PTZ cameras, with which only one operator can control the camera, with Panomera, an unlimited number of operators can navigate across the entire scene independently of each other.

Although all operators are connected with the same camera, each of the individual users can select his view individually and zoom or pan as he desires.

Or he can perform evaluations of the recordings at the same time. So analyses can be carried out by any number of employees at various workstations simultaneously. For example, one may be watching the overview image live, another may zoom in on a suspicious vehicle in the port area, while yet another is looking at the recording from an hour ago to see how some containers have been loaded onto a ship.

Do you not need enormous bandwidth for this?

Owing to the so-called multicast capability, several users can view the images from Panomera without requiring repeated transmission of the data via network. This reduces the necessary bandwidth significantly.

How fluidly is movement represented in the images?

Panomera provides image material in real time and at high frame rates of up to 30 fps, which translates to completely fluid representation.

And with Panomera you can step back one image at a time through the recording until you can see exactly what has happened.

That all sounds very plausible, but at the same time extremely complex…

Quite frankly, it is difficult to describe Panomera in words and explain all of its features. You simply have to see it in action for real.

I have had that experience very often when making presentations to customers.

Everyone who sees the system with his own eyes very soon has that “Aha” moment.

We call it the “Panomera effect”.

Panomera far surpasses the limits of conventional cameras. That is why we are constantly stressing that Panomera is not just another camera that purports to offer more megapixels than the products of our competitors.

That is not the point. Panomera represents an entirely new technology and a fundamentally different approach to the issue of video security.

What is the situation regarding price? A system like this must surely be very expensive?

Not at all. Panomera is the most costeffective system on the market today. Of course, a Panomera is more expensive than a single conventional HD camera. But then you only need one Panomera system to cover the same area that previously required several cameras.

Even so, the greatest savings are realised in expenses for the infrastructure. This really cannot be over-emphasised. The most expensive factor in installing a camera is not the camera itself, but the infrastructure it needs. That is to say, camera masts, wiring, electricity supply and so on.

If you only need a single camera installation site, you save an enormous amount of money. For this reason alone, it would pay immense dividends to thoroughly calculate the cost of a Panomerabased project.

Would an existing video system have to be replaced completely if a port opts for a new Panomera solution?

No, existing cameras can be incorporated in the Panomera concept. Even so, the entire video system can be monitored and controlled using a single management system.

And while we are on the subject of integration, a mobile solution can be created without difficulty via our iPhone server.

The images from Panomera can be displayed on an iPhone or iPad, for example.

This results in faster response times and greater flexibility.

Panomera is not Dallmeier’s only product…

We offer complete solutions from a single supplier, from cameras to recording and storage systems all the way through to video management and analysis.

What is the situation regarding investment security? After all, development cycles for new technologies are becoming shorter and shorter…

Owing to the open system architecture of the Dallmeier solutions, the video system remains flexible and scalable.

Future expansions or modifications are easily possible, even hybrid operation with devices from different generations presents no problems.

Hence the IP video solutions by Dallmeier offer long-term investment protection.

COMPANY NEWS

Sensor’s new and not-so-secret weapon Sensor Security not only partners with premium brands, but invests in premium quality people too. As such, the company is proud to welcome Clifton Greeff on board as senior business development manager.

H

enry Brown, Sensor Security sales director, talks more about this new appointment: “Clifton and I have actually known one another from the industry for many years now. And every time we talked, I was struck by Clifton’s energy and his ability to stretch my mind with possibilities. But it is only now that the timing has been right for us to pool our skills.”

Clifton agrees: “I have been looking for a company that shares my vision and has a similar culture when it comes to doing business. I have been watching Sensor go from strength to strength and head in a direction that really interests me. So I approached the team and effectively pitched myself to Henry and Jean Brown, the company’s managing director.”

The thrust of Clifton’s pitch was that instead of simply pushing products and price at the

client, it is better find out what challenges they are facing and then discuss solutions – even if this means developing a solution that doesn’t already exist.

This way one is not only able to provide the right products for the job at hand, but sustainable and robust solutions that can go the distance.

Clifton continues: “I firmly believe that our job lies in truly getting to understand our end customers and consultants and in educating the market.

“In other words, we want to transform security from a grudge expense into a genuine return on investment.”

Clifton gives an example. “One market segment that we have chosen to specialise in is intelligent transport solutions.

“Intelligent transport is a major growth area in Africa and there is a strong need for

surveillance solutions in vehicles, stations, on route and depots.

“However, most solutions that are currently on the market cater separately either for mobile or static environments, which are two very different disciplines indeed. “ The requirement from the market is one intelligent solution that can offer surveillance, not only as a security measure, but as a business management tool from depot to depot. A solution that we are currently perfecting and taking to the market.”

Sensor’s desire to set the standard and keep on pushing ahead completely aligns with dynamic Clifton’s thinking.

“My vision is to set up a solutions project team that will specialise in certain market segments and will always be one step ahead of the rest through delving into and understanding the customers’ challenges and requirements.

“This will further strengthen Sensor’s position as a supplier of choice and a thought leader when it comes to the electronic security equipment market.”

These may sound like lofty goals, but if anyone can do it, Clifton can.

Henry sums this new appointment up best. “We feel that Clifton, together with the input and support of our existing team, is yet another step in our drive to continually raise the bar.”

Henry continues: “Clifton may just be our secret weapon – but then again, with more than 20 years experience in the industry and a well-known thought leader in his own right, his abilities may not be that secret after all.”

“I firmly believe that our job lies in truly getting to understand our end customers and consultants and in educating the market. In other words, we want to transform security from a grudge expense into a genuine return on investment.”

ON THE MARKET

Controlling contraband CellDetect is the only company in Southern Africa that specialises exclusively in providing solutions and technology to correctional, custodial and government departments regarding the prevention and detection of cellular telephones and other communication devices in areas where they are prohibited.

I

t conducted research for more than four years and tested numerous pieces of equipment to help develop the company’s CellDetect Solution strategy. The CellDetect Solution strategy is based on four pillars, namely Policies and Rules, Research, Technical and Operational, Outwit and Outsmart.

Policies and rules are important as it explains the will of the correctional facility’s management in controlling contraband communication devices. The policy provides the basis for planning, management and the maintenance of the programme. It is important that the policy highlights the penalties when contravening the policy.

Research is important to understand the modus operandi of those smuggling and supplying the cellular telephones as well as the cellular telephone use by prisoners. Research should also focus on the different types of detection systems. Detection and prevention systems can range from simple hand-held and portable units to more complex fixed units with sensors attached by wireless or by wire-line to the sensing hardware and software.

Locating and confiscating contraband cellular telephones provide correctional and police officials with opportunities for intelligence gathering. Forensic analysis and data extraction can be conducted on the devices for further intelligence.

The operational and practical portion of the strategy is complex and focus firstly on prevention, then detection, then localisation and finally neutralisation. The cornerstone of the strategy is intelligence.

The operation and practical implementation involves a number of technologies and approached with the main focus on prevention, stopping devices at the door. All personnel, visitors, vehicles, deliveries and parcels have to be searched, scanned or x-rayed at the entry point.

Personnel must carry their personal belonging in see-through bags.

For those devices making it through the door, superior new technology such as SearchLight Cellular Telephone Detection system provides for an accurate and remote controlled approach. It is no longer necessary to physically search for cellphones that have made their way into a facility. The SearchLight remotely identifies the devices by name, IMEI and SIM numbers and with the co-operation of the networks it can be remotely disabled by the networks.

When physical searches have to be conducted, a hand-held non-linear junction detector such as the Orion 2.4 NLJD is an indispensable tool to aid in the physical searches of hidden cellular telephones, SIM cards and even micro SD cards.

NLJD’s look for semi-conductor junctions in the electronics (transistors, diodes, etc.). The NLJD antenna head is passed over items such as mattresses in a sweeping motion and alerts when it detects the presence of electronics in cellular telephones, SIM cards, etc.

It will detect a cellular telephone even if the battery is removed or disassembled.

Paxton showcased the company’s full range of innovative security solutions, including its flagship access control system, Net2 and the award-winning IP-ready door entry system, Net2 Entry.

“Having our own stand at the show gave us a chance to gain some insight into the challenges and opportunities faced by the local market,” says Mr Drayton.

“One of the perceptions that we would like to change in the local market is the fact that offering a full security solution is not as expensive or complicated as it may seem” trends of the global security market,” says Mr Drayton.

“With exceptional engineering excellence, Paxton creates smart products with the simplicity to ensure straightforward installation, use and maintenance,” he says.

“It provided the perfect opportunity for us to catch up with our existing customers, as well as establish new business relationships with installers and specifiers, providing them with information about Paxton, our product range and free education programme,” he adds.

Extensive education programme Paxton is doing far more than paying simple lip service to the old adage of adding value, following the appointment of its growing sales team in South Africa. All with extensive local experience, Paxton has backed up its sales team with local training seminars and workshops, all offered free-of-charge to ensure installers and end-users reap maximum return on product investment.

The company offers free, hands-on installer training for its complete range of networked products. These sessions are designed to provide the essential knowledge needed to fit Paxton solutions, including installation techniques and fault finding, as well as useful information regarding the administration and use of the systems.

A series of access control workshops aimed at building services engineers and specifiers were recently introduced by the company to provide support when specifying access control into a building project.

SECURITY FOCUS AFRICA | VOL 34 NO 9 2016

Plus, a new online consultant and specifier resource provides a detailed guide for those specifying security.

Competitive advantage for Paxton customers “One of the perceptions that we would like to change in the local market is the fact that offering a full security solution is not as expensive or complicated as it may seem,” says Mr Drayton.

“We’ve noted that the South African installer industry is dominated by specialists in the various disciplines, and that individual installers will often stay with one discipline, be that access control, CCTV, intruder detection or fire.”

Globally, the trend has been to add customer value by working across the various disciplines. Paxton believes that local installers could be missing out on a valuable opportunity to diversify and integrate.

Paxton says it wants to change the perception that diversification is too costly and complex, by demonstrating the simplicity and enormous benefits of integration across the disciplines and is proud to be one of the only companies that offers the full range (IP, wireless and battery powered) solutions on a single platform, which means affordability and simplicity.

“Understanding that the local market is often driven by commercial considerations, our differentiator is to show our customers how to reap the rewards of diversification.

It’s a matter of providing choice. You don’t need to keep competing against other service providers that offer the exact same services and products. With our assistance, you’ll soon see the enormous simplicity and competitive advantage to be gained from diversifying across the security disciplines,” says Mr Drayton.

“Paxton is fully committed to the local market,” he adds. “It’s all about making life easier for our clients, through intelligent and innovative products, and most importantly, by backing these offerings with effective training, and helping our customers to gain a competitive advantage in the marketplace,” concluded Mr Drayton.

Upgrading Frankfurt Airport means tight security measures

Frankfurt Airport in Frankfurt am Main is the largest passenger airport in Germany, and one of the most important air traffic hubs in the world. In order to be able to continue managing this enormous passenger volume effectively, another passenger terminal, Terminal 3, is to be completed by 2022.

systems were needed by Frankfurt Airport to provide the requisite protection for the entire expanse.

The network cameras were mounted on buildings that already existed. In this way, not only was it possible to save enormous costs, but also, as Dallmeier Sales Manager Dirk Lüders explains: According to the specification from Fraport AG, it was an obligatory requirement to use the existing infrastructure and not to erect any additional masts or the like. This project would have been impossible to carry out using conventional camera technology, because the distances far exceed the capabilities of single sensor cameras.

Installation was carried out by the company Dengel Telekommunikation. The installation was simple and uncomplicated, according to Maurice Dengel, Divisional Management Fraport & Rhein-Main.

Detailed imaging even in poor lighting An important decision criterion for Fraport was also the light sensitivity of the cameras, since the building site is only partly lit at

night. Most of the perimeter is only lit by the residual light from a street lighting system some distance away. Consequently, the decision was made in favour of the Panomera Nightline series, which delivers detailed image material even in darkness.

Flexibility during the building phase The requirements the video security equipment is expected to satisfy will also change over the course of the building phase, which will last several years, and the cameras will have to be redirected to cover different areas in response to changing circumstances while the building activities are ongoing.

Multifocal sensor technology provides the perfect flexibility for this eventuality, as Lüders emphasises: “The simple infrastructure yields advantages not only now, but also in the coming years. Frankfurt Airport will not have to reposition 20 or 30 single cameras.

Instead, individual Panomera systems can easily be mounted at new locations to monitor a new construction zone”.

T

he earthworking and excavation activities are already finished – next, special civil engineering will begin in the autumn.

But before the finished building with its check-in areas and many shopping opportunities is ready for use, it is most important to ensure that the building site is adequately secured for the next few years.

Perimeter security is particularly essential here, to protect the premises against access by people who are not authorised to do so.

Using the existing infrastructure The people responsible at the airport operating company, Fraport AG, became aware of Panomera multifocal sensor technology from Dallmeier in a test run involving many well-known camera manufacturers.

Multifocal sensor technology works with multiple sensors which have different focal lengths, so that an overview of even very great distances can be provided with a constant, defined resolution quality. This meant that only a few multifocal sensor SECURITY FOCUS AFRICA | VOL 34 NO 9 2016

Latest crime stats unpacked

By Peter Bagshawe

The annual cycle has again brought out the release of the crime statistics for the period 1 April 2015 to 30 March 2016 and, as is usual, there were a number of shocks within the package.

T

here were numerous comments on the detail of the unpacked data provided by the South African Police Services tabled by Acting National Police Commissioner Lieutenant-General Khomotso Phahlane (appointed subsequent to the suspension of National Commissioner Riah Phiyega) and Police Minister Nkosinathi Nhleko.

Prior to its release the debate around the likely levels of increase in trio and contact crimes was fairly lively and not, in retrospect, far off the mark.

The basis of the data released remains constant and again I make the point that the data is compiled off records and information coming out of the centralised database constructed and maintained by the South African Police Services.

To clarify further, only crimes that have been reported to the police are included in the database and any criminal activities detected or that lead to an arrest by metro police agencies are reflected in instances where the metro police subsequently open a criminal case with the South African Police Services.

In the period reported on, some 2 100 000 crimes were reported and, of these, slightly more than 1 710 000 were crimes reported by community members which included murder, attempted murder, sexual assault, assault, robbery, theft and burglary.

During his presentation to Parliament, Police Minister Nhleko referred to evidence of South Africa being a violent society while Sochayile Khanyile, chairperson of the Gauteng Provincial Legislature’s Portfolio Committee on Community Safety commented that Gauteng residents are not safe in the province given the 2015-2016 general increase in murder coming off the back of the level of increase for the 2014-2015 period.

The following is geared towards crimes against persons and property and, accordingly, economic and white collar trends will not be referred to.

The starting point will be the targeted areas of the trio crimes that are a historical focus of the South African Police Services, as well as murder and attempted murder as these go directly towards perceptions of community safety.

Trio crimes are crimes (being offences relating to personal safety and business integrity including residential/house robbery, non-residential/business robbery and carjacking) which are commonly experienced across all economic strata and during their execution can lead to escalation of violence and into other potentially more serious crimes.

Robberies at non-residential premises increased from 19 170 incidents (2014-2015) to 19 698 incidents in 2016-2017 giving an increase of 2.8 per cent year-on-year while residential robberies increased from 20 281 incidents to 20 820 incidents with a closely aligned increase of 2.7 per cent.

Over the same period, residential burglaries reduced by 1.2 per cent and non-residential burglaries increased by 0.9 per cent, which shows an increasingly confrontational pattern.

Carjacking has shown an increase of substantial proportions with a year-on-year increase of 14.3 per cent going from 12 773 incidents to 14 602 incidents in 2015-2016.

Of the 2015-2016 total incidents, 7 367 carjackings took place in Gauteng which reflects a 7.3 per cent annual increase for the province.

Given the highly possible escalation from carjacking to home invasion (should the carjacking be from or in the immediate vicinity of the owner’s home) the trend is extremely disturbing.

Opinion is that the increase in the rate of carjacking is a combination of two factors.

The first is that car alarm and immobiliser system are becoming more efficient and more difficult to bypass and it is easier to take the vehicle with the engine running and keys available.

As an aside, the availability of ignition key cloning devices and services has also increased although the majority of suppliers are controlled through the locksmiths association and required legislative registration and compliance requirements.

Secondly, the increasing use of tracking devices and the use of armed response by tracking companies similarly makes theft less attractive, the obverse of this is the tendency of car thieves to often cause extensive damage to vehicles looking for tracking devices immediately subsequent to the theft.

Murder is widely regarded as the most accurately reported crime (due to the presence of a body) and the trend is again inflationary.

When viewed in isolation the year on year increase in the murder rate is 4.9 per cent (from 17 537 incidents to 18 637 incidents).

However, the increase in murders from 14 807 in 2011-2012 to 15 335 in 20122013, to 16 243 in 2013-2014 and 19 952 in 2014-2015 shows a trend that not only has it escalated by some 20 per cent over the period (albeit coming off the low in the trend), but demonstrates the danger of looking at statistics in isolation or over a short period.

Attempted murder largely mirrors the rising trend but has a dip in the period 2011-2012.

However, over the full period the number of incidents of attempted murder has risen from 14 790 reported cases in 2011-2012 to 18 127 for the 2015-2016 period.

In this regard the increasing levels of violence within society and readiness of sectors of society to resort readily to violence are amply demonstrated as referred to by Sochayile Khanyile and Nkosinathi Nhleko above.

General levels of crime have not been referred to above and are, as to be expected, something of a mixed bag.

Truck hijacking figures are down yearon-year, public violence figures are up Continued on p26

INDEX OF ADVERTISERS

Continued from p24 as I am aware, been finalised and published as yet.

The quarterly statistics will obviate the frequent criticism that the statistics published are at best six months and at worst 18 months out of date.

It can be hoped that split figures will become available within the sexual crimes sector and that efforts will be made to restore confidence in the reporting structures of sexual crimes in particular.

The Acting National Commissioner came through the reporting structure and reviews with, in all probability, a favourable rating and his performance in his new role has so far been commented on broadly with approval.

The analysis of the data and response by the authorities to this analysis will be awaited with some level of expectation.

substantially (derived out of service delivery and wage protests, “fees must fall” and housing protest were features on the period under review) and sexual offences were down marginally.

Having said this, there was no emphasis on the recent appointment of Acting National Police Commissioner Khomotso and nor was there an attempt to spin figures or gloss over areas of the stats.

There has been a volume of criticism in respect of the crime statistics and the performance of the South African Police Services in maintaining law and order.

On the good news side, Acting National Police Commissioner Khomotso has advised that crime statistics will, in the future, become available on a quarterly basis. The format and extent of the quarterly reports has not, as far

The absence of meaningful crime intelligence has been highlighted over the past several years and again is obvious in the 2015-2016 period.

The stabilisation of crime intelligence and the success of the current “Back to Basics” programme adopted into the South African Police Services would both contribute to the reduction of levels of crime.

In the interim, the role of the private security industry in maintaining order and safeguarding South African remains an onerous private sector function that is essential and contributes to the stability and order of our society.
