Hikvision unveils full HD Real-Time HD-SDI DVR series at IFSEC South Africa

H

ikvision, the global leader of video surveillance products and solutions, is pleased to announce the release of their brand new HDSDI DVR series at the upcoming IFSEC South Africa 2013. The series is comprised of the DS7204/08HFHI-ST 720p DVR and the DS-7204/08HFHI-SE 1080p DVR series; both series offer zero-latency transmission and real-time HD recording through the utilization of HD-SDI technology.

These HD-SDI DVRs provide far superior image quality when compared with conventional analog technology. They also provide a more cost-effective alternative to network-based systems through the

use of standard coax cable.

The series includes 4 and 8 channel DVRs that deliver simultaneous real-time recording and playback in 4CIF resolution on all 4 or 8 channels. There is also the option for 720P or 1080P resolution when more detail is required.

Available with a range of storage capacities, the recorders offer highly efficient H.264 compression to significantly reduce bandwidth and disk consumption.

The series is easy to set up and use with features such as emailon-event and overwrite protection.

Also included is Smart Search, which automatically looks for changes within a selected portion of a scene. Customers are further able to compare past and present events by simultaneously viewing live and playback scenes. This series offers flexible alarm handling, camera

control, and remote management capabilities. Remote monitoring enables customers to manage the DVR series from any location via a LAN, WAN, or the Internet.

Customers can also view live video using their smart phones for even greater flexibility.

Audio can be recorded on all 4/8 channels and the SATA HDDs (up to 4TB apiece) allow USB devices for archiving purposes. HDD quota management is additionally supported to optimize the capacity assignment to different channels and minimize video storage requirements.

Offered in a competitive price range, these DVRs are specifically aimed towards catering to the needs of smaller-scale applications that value high-definition video, multi-channel real-time recording and playback, and a friendly user interface. The retail sector, convenience stores, and offices are but a few examples of these environments.

It operates as a Foundation of Our Lady of Good Counsel in Albania, which was founded in 1993 by the Children Congregate of the Immaculate Lady (CFIC). This foundation is a representation of the evangelical charismatic inspiration of an Italian cleric named Luigi Maria Monti. The ultimate vision of the Foundation is two-fold: To heal the sick through research and treatment and to provide young people with an education for life.

The provision of health care goes beyond effective medicine.

Ensuring the physical safety of patients and security of premises are

also of paramount importance. Prior to the implementation Hikvision’s surveillance solutions, the complex utilized simply analog cameras to address its need for security.

However, these analog cameras were not able to capture sufficient details of activities in the video footage. Specifically, face recognition was impossible and even license plates were hard to decipher. Furthermore, security personnel did not have access to the monitoring system. “We considered increasing the number of cameras, but the problem clearly was not the coverage, but rather the quality of surveillance,” said Nikolin Gjonaj, Head of Security at Our Lady of Good Counsel.

The solution came as a combination of Hikvision’s surveillance technologies. Hikvision is one of the leading suppliers of surveillance technologies in the world with an established portfolio of international clients. The company is based in China, with offices around the world. For Our Lady of Good Counsel, five different products were installed in various quantities through the complex. These include: the DS2CD2032-I 3MP IR bullet network camera, the DS-2CD2132-I and DS-

2CD7153-E network cameras, the DS-7732NI-ST and DS-7608NI-ST network video recorders (NVR).

Tailored For Our Lady of Good Counsel

The DS-2CD2032-I 3MP IR bullet network cameras were installed in the complex to ensure proper capture of activities on the premises.

These cameras are compact and feature a maximum resolution of 2048 x 1526, as well as full high definition 1080p real time video capture. These specifications place them on the high end of current surveillance standards in the world.

They employ a 1/3” progressive scan CMOS image sensor, powering a 4, 6 or 12 mm lens and a 30 meter IR range. Detected motion can be configured to trigger alarm. As part of a surveillance network, it supports various common network protocols including TCP/IP, HTTP, FTP, SMTP, and SNMP. The DS-2CD2132-I and DS-2CD7153-E network cameras boast vandal-proof housing, which gives added physical protection. Like the DS-2CD2032-I 3MP IR bullet network cameras, these network cameras support the common network protocols, ensuring maximum integration in a complex-wide, and in this case, all five buildings, surveillance system.

In addition to seamless integration with the network cameras, the DS-7732NI-ST NVR features VGA, HDMI and USB interfaces. It supports up to 32-ch network camera inputs and its HDMI and VGA output reaches a maximum resolution of 1920 x 1080P. These were installed in the monitoring office, enabling

- NEWS security personnel to have full access to the system. The DS-7608NI-ST NVR is a slightly less featured NVR by comparison but nonetheless effective as well and among the leading NVRs in the world. It provides the same maximum resolution and supports up to 8-ch network camera inputs. These were installed in each security guard room. A total of 2 DS-7732NI-ST and 4 DS-7608NI-ST NVRs were installed, and were integrated with the entire network via fibre optic cables.

Hikvision’s Technologies of Good Surveillance

The project turned out to be very successful. The new system addressed all the problems faced

by Our Lady of Good Counsel, producing real-time, high quality video and playback. Furthermore, the digital zoom supported from the NVRs enables face recognition, leaving no stone unturned on the entire premises. “The video quality is incredible! Now we can see everything clear from a far distance,” said Nikolin Gjonaj, Head of Security at Our Lady of Good Counsel, who

also explained that the large areas and distances among buildings made it impossible to monitor activities without Hikvision’s technology.

In addition, the cost efficient installation was a much-welcomed bonus to the project. Incidentally, the system is highly scalable and will serve Our Lady of Good Counsel for many years.

With another remarkable achievement, Hikvision’s impeccable track record of implementations was further extended beyond doubt. It truly marks the company’s standing as a premier surveillance technology provider. And with their premises secured, Our Lady of Good Counsel can be assured of their students’ and patients’ well being. They can now focus on the sick and young, thus accomplishing their vision of quality service and attaining the noble purposes they set to achieve.

Hikvision releases new EXIR Network Cameras to better illuminate night time environments

A

fter the success of the May, 2013 EXIR Analog Camera series, Hikvision - a global leader in network cameras - is set to launch its new EXIR Network Camera series. This new EXIR series boasts excellent overall image usability, along with the benefits of increased resolution and industry-leading low-light performance.

“As we know, resolution is important, but not everything. Image

processing is also crucial. Based on our rich experience in ISP (image signal processing) technology, Hikvision’s R&D team continues its pursuit of improved image quality, especially in difficult lighting conditions. Our EXIR Network Camera series is further proof of this goal,” said Keen Yao, International Marketing Director at Hikvision.

The new EXIR network camera series is comprised of the DS-2CD2200-I5 EXIR Bullet Camera series and the DS-2CD2300-I EXIR Turret Camera series.

Both feature highlyefficient light source and enhanced LED light strength. By employing the most advanced thinfilm and light-emitting technology, this series provides up-to 30% more illuminant efficiency over traditional LED array

technology.

Furthermore, the EXIR network series even provides a 40% light-extraction rate improvement over traditional models, resulting in stronger light for long-range visibility usage. Specifically, the DS2CD2200-I5 EXIR Bullet Camera series offers a minimum illumination at 0.01 lux@ F1.2 with AGC on, 0 lux with IR (with up-to a 50m IR range).

The DS-2CD2300-I EXIR Turret Camera is slightly different, giving consumers another option. It offers the same minimum illumination, but with up-to a 30m IR range.

To make the most out of IR LED light, the two series both produce LED light in the form of a rectangle to better fit a screen’s normal size (4:3 or 16:9). Additionally it helps improve LED utilization efficiency and reduces light pollution in the surrounding environment. Images are further optimized with EXIR’s luminance uniformity functionality. www.ind-safety.com

This feature helps to eliminate traditional LED lens issues, such as over-exposure at the center of images, and darker areas at corners.

Both series are comprised of models with 1.3MP resolution and 3MP resolution, delivering sharp and clear images with the latest 1/3” progressive scan CMOS. Images are further enhanced with a built-in 3D DNR (Digital Noise Reduction), which greatly reduces noise.

Additionally, D-WDR (Digital Wide Dynamic Range) helps to achieve critical detail in images that include highlights, shadows, and mixed lighting - all without compromising

on image quality or color accuracy.

This new network series also benefits from efficient codec compression (approximately 30% to 50% above traditional network cameras). This significantly reduces the transmission burden for both video information and storage on IP surveillance systems. In addition, IP66 protection, excellent heat dissipation, longer lifespan, and greater energy savings are but a few of the advantages that Hikvision EXIR cameras bring.

An additional benefit offered by these two is “smart” features.

Engineered with a smart tracking function, both domes can detect any progressively moving object and follow it within the camera’s area of coverage without fault. Facial detection is further supported to ensure that an individual’s face is present in the picture during tracking.

A smart defog feature is also incorporated to help improve the clarity of images captured in poor weather conditions, such as rain or fog; and smart IR technology is added to address the problem of over-exposure of IR LEDs at the center of images.

Furthermore, another interesting feature is ROI (Region of Interest) encoding. This allows capture high resolution images of key information such as license plates and facial detection, and also decreases non-ROI’s image quality to save on overall bandwidth.

Utilizing high performance CMOS, the DS-2DF7286 and DS2DF7276 provide high-quality

imaging with up-to 1920x1080 and 1280x960 resolution apiece. With true day / night capability, the two speed domes deliver detection level surveillance at distances of up-to 120 meters, even in total darkness.

Finally, 3D DNR (Digital Noise Reduction) technology even helps to eliminate image noise in lowlight conditions without creating ghosting and blurring; while Digital Wide Dynamic Range (DWDR) is supported to make these cameras ideal for locations where there may be a strong contrast in lighting conditions.

Arecont Vision awards Milestone worldwide IP video management leader is Global Technology Partner of the Year

M

ilestone Systems, the open platform company in IP video management software (VMS), has received a series of awards from Arecont Vision, manufacturer of megapixel network cameras. The Arecont Vision Technology Partner of the Year for 2012 has now been presented to Milestone in all three regions of the world. The awards acknowledge the strength in the companies’ collaborative efforts in the growing market for megapixel IP network video surveillance solutions.

The increasing uptake of megapixel network video cameras is well documented by market analysts. IHS Inc. estimates that the megapixel camera market will see growth rates in the range of 3540 percent during the next couple of years, and that 94 percent of all network video camera sales will be megapixel by 2017.

“Milestone Systems is a key Arecont Vision Technology Partner around the world, proactively teaming with us in all aspects of the business – technology, marketing, sales, implementation, and support,” states Jason Schimpf, Director of Sales Operations and Partner Relations for Arecont Vision. “Joint activities between our field sales organizations are supported by application engineers that cooperate well. The strategic partnership excels at the executive management level too.

Altogether, continually expanding opportunities are being achieved, with the funnel in APAC and the Mideast exploding over the past

year.”

Some of the world’s most valuable brands are using Milestone and Arecont Vision in their facilities to help protect assets and people.

“Of the Forbes top ten companies, half are Arecont Vision customers and the majority of those projects are shared with Milestone. Major joint projects include large retail chains, university campuses, government properties, police and law enforcement, exhibition centers, and more,” adds Schimpf.

Milestone has long supported Arecont Vision megapixel cameras and re-programmed new, enhanced versions of the device drivers over the years. At the end of 2011, a new version that uses Arecont Vision’s latest firmware was released.

“Since that time, there have been no reported integration issues with our combined technology,” says Schimpf. “We are talking about solid integrations that work, especially with our newer products.

Milestone’s device support for Arecont Vision takes advantage of our forward compatibility feature.

And because Arecont Vision cameras share a unified API, this means that when many of our new products are released, they are ‘plug and play’ with the existing Milestone driver even before Milestone certifies them.”

Arecont Vision is a Milestone Manufacturer Alliance Partner (MAP), which means that dedicated driver support is developed and tested by the Milestone Research and Development (R&D) department and Device Packs are released regularly to XProtect® IP video management software customers.

“Megapixel technology is a significant driver in the market’s uptake of IP network solutions for video surveillance,” says Christian Bohn, VP Marketing & Strategic Alliances. “We are very grateful for Arecont Vision awards for Global Technology Partner of the Year and in the APAC and the Mideast regions. This recognizes our strong collaboration with Arecont Vision.”

The Outstanding Vendor Award that Milestone received at the PSA-TEC event in May 2013 is a testament to our members growing acceptance of their ability to integrate with more IP cameras, encoders and DVRs,” states Craig Patterson, Director of Vendor Management, PSA Security Network.

The PSA Security Network conducts an annual Vendor Appreciation Award program to recognize excellence among the vendors who serve PSA members.

The 2013 survey was unchanged from 2012 except for a revised vendor list. In 2012 the survey was streamlined to encourage more vendor ratings, and to examine the ratings in a more actionable format.

An outside research firm was contracted to collect and process the results.

The 2013 survey yielded usable responses representing 117 companies/organizations, and a total of 972 individual vendor ratings. This represents the largest response volume to date. The respondents were presented with the following six factors to consider

44 | JULY 2013 | INDUSTRIAL SAFETY REVIEW

when selecting a vendor, and asked to prioritize them as to importance: Price, Shipping, Support (customer, sales and technical), Lead Generation, Returns and Product performance.

The results show that product performance is the main factor considered, followed by price and support. These three factors lead the remaining three by a wide margin.

Product performance is an especially strong focal point, receiving an average importance score of 5.07 (on a 1-to-6 scale), and is selected by nearly 52 percent as their top factor. Price is the next chosen, with an average importance score of 4.69, followed by Support with an average score of 4.32.

The remaining three factors all have average scores of 2.7. There have been some modest shifts of opinion since 2012, but the overarching pattern remains consistent: product performance, price and support rise to the top of the scale. The most significant shift has been a decrease in the importance of price, with an equivalent increase in the importance of lead generation.

Fully enabled for control and operation over IP and serial networks. The D-series combine a thermal imaging camera with a color CCD camera. This makes them the perfect replacement for day/night dome cameras, providing clear 24/7 imaging capability in an attractive, discrete dome-style enclosure.

The new FLIR D-Series are a lot more compact. TCP/IP compatible electronics are integrated in the camera and no longer in a separate box. This also means that the FLIR D-Series can now be can be mounted in ball up and ball down position, giving you more flexibility

Choice of image quality

D-Series systems deploy a 640 x 480 or 320 x 240 pixel thermal imaging camera. To make sure that there is a D-Series for every security application FLIR Systems offers a wide variety of lenses. Longer lenses have a narrower field of view and allow you to spot intruders from further away.

Continuous E-zoom provides enhanced alarm assessment and optimization of camera field of view.

Optionally available on all 640 x 480 pixel models.

All versions are equipped with a long range daylight/low light camera. The daylight camera offers an 36x optical zoom.

Wide dynamic range

About thermal imaging

Thermal imaging is the use of cameras constructed with specialty sensors thatseethermal energy emitted from an object. Thermal, or infrared energy, is light that is not visible to the human eye because its waveÂŹlength is too long to be detected. Its the part of the electromagnetic spectrum that we perceive as heat. Infrared allows us to see what our eyes cannot.

Thermal imaging cameras produce images of invisible infrared or heat radiation. Based on temperature differences between objects, thermal imaging produces a clear image. In contrast with

Benchmarking the excellence standards Mr. Sharad Bohra, Managing Director & Country Head, Tyco Fire & Security India Pvt Ltd. Q. Today corporates are more conscious about fire safety solutions, how do TYCO is countering this demand of commercial fire systems in India?

There has been a spate of Fire accidents across India grabbing headlines across the visual & print media.

Hospitals to Government Secretariats have gone up in flames resulting in loss of human lives, man days & assets.

These unfortunate accidents could have been prevented at first place if the right equipment’s were installed, proper training provided to the occupants and the installed equipment’s were maintained & in ready to use conditions.

Lots of corporates are raising up to implement the standards prescribed in the National building code. The national building code has some of the best standards prescribed & is revised with the changing situation. Tyco is looking www.ind-safety.com

to contribute to the same based on our global experience & expertise in this field. Even with the current codes, the compliance is important as today, there is a huge gap in compliance. For a vast majority, Fire & security is one but not the main priority. This can be primarily attributed to the level of awareness and the cost factor involved in the entire project.

This presents a big opportunity not only for our business but also leverage our expertise in ensuring the compliance part and in building awareness to be safer. In my current assessment the codes can be improved and it is being improved as we speak but it is equally important to maintain the equipment. As noticed in many of the recent fire accidents, the equipment was there but didn’t work. It’s also good to reduce the hazardous condition in India by bringing in technology to India that it needs.

Q. Tyco Fire Safety has wide range of fire safety products; can you highlight some of the top line products & its applications?

A big part of our strength as the industry leader is that we have very strong product platform. www.ind-safety.com

IN FOCUS

Fire protection products with 2 technologies for suppression chemical suppression and water suppression with one of our key brands, Ansul, being a global leader. The second technology in electronic fire detection with the leading Simplex brand in electronic fire detection.

Security products which are focused on 3 different platforms - Intrusion, access and video. In intrusion one of our strong global brands is DSC. We can create intrusion systems with DSC brand that can be competitive for the local market. In the access control it is Kantech, in Video, American Dynamics brand.

Q. Does “India” as market has a great potential? What are the key performance areas?

India is one the key emerging markets for Tyco. I am bullish on the growth in India.

Across our metro cities like Mumbai, Kolkatta, Delhi, Chennai, there is a major risk of fire accidents as they are seeing major construction activity & there are many buildings without basic fire fighting facilities.

The need of the hour is for the government to enforce the standards / codes among the new or old buildings. Since Tyco Products are comply with global standards /codes, we see great potential as user awareness increases about fire safety.

The market for fire safety is poised for a great growth & will double from its current market by 2016. Tyco is fully committed to enhance its investments in India to drive organic and inorganic growth.

Q. According to you what are the factors affecting the fire safety business?

The major factor is lack of compliance of the existing standards which need to be enforced strongly by the authorized agencies & the government. There is need to have regular safety & security audits to ensure the proper product implementation & its regular maintenance. Today majority of the Industry is not organized & this leads to question of reliability & quality. Here Tyco plays major role by providing products that complies with the existing standard, hence ensures greater reliability & quality.

Q. What is your vision for Tyco Fire division?

In India, Our vision is to be “Number one company in integrated fire & security industry” with zero harm & environment friendly solutions to the industry.

EMC acquires Aveksa Inc., leading provider of businessdriven identity & access management solutions Aveksa Joins RSA Security Division to Help Transform Authentication and Identity Management across Enterprise, Mobile & Cloud Environments

E

MC Corporation (NYSE: EMC) announced it has acquired privately held Aveksa Inc., a leader in business-driven Identity and Access Management. Effective immediately, Aveksa will operate within the RSA® security division as part of RSA’s Identity Trust Management product group, bringing leading technology and expertise that will help RSA bring innovative new solutions to identity and access management challenges across enterprise, cloud and mobile access use cases. Terms of the deal were not disclosed. The acquisition is not expected to have a material impact to EMC® GAAP or non-GAAP EPS for the full 2013 fiscal year.

In today’s increasingly cloudbased and application-centric world, authentication, authorization and identity management have become even more intertwined, complex and critical. The model for each user has shifted from a single authentication to an enterprise network, to dozens of authentications to applications and related data, from multiple user devices, across cloud and onpremise infrastructures.

The task of ensuring that the right users get access to appropriate company resources has traditionally been IT-driven, using legacy IAM solutions to enforce all the policies, processes, procedures and applications that help organizations manage access to information. The lack of intelligence and business context has led to increased risk of data breaches, non-compliance and

74 | JULY 2013 | INDUSTRIAL SAFETY REVIEW

excessive privilege.

RSA and Aveksa together will help give organizations the ability to automate the complete identity lifecycle of users from a businessdriven perspective, helping turn traditional IAM systems into more agile, intelligent and scalable “situational perimeters.”

With Aveksa, customers have a unified dashboard to manage, control, and deliver access, while consistently enforcing identity and access policies across the enterprise and cloud, at a granular level.

Aveksa solutions help define rich user profiles and increase the convenience of managing user identities, allowing customers to continue building “situational perimeters” that can flexibly enforce security whenever and wherever users interact with corporate data and resources. The line of business is given easy and secure access to applications, while enabling them to take accountability and responsibility for making access decisions, within the controls, processes, and policies defined by the information security organization.

Similar to RSA, Aveksa solutions are deployed by customers of all sizes in financial services, healthcare, retail, energy/ utility, telecommunications, transportation and manufacturing to solve a wide range of identity management challenges. Aveksa is a comprehensive solution – it spans multiple, heterogeneous IT systems for both on-premise and

SaaS systems, and is designed to be easily integrated into an enterprise’s infrastructure.

Aveksa aligns with RSA’s intelligence-driven security strategy, leveraging insight from roles, processes, and security-oriented Big Data to enable better evaluation, prioritization, detection and response to real-time threats. For example, Aveksa’s ability to provide rich identity context could be used to enhance situational awareness within the RSA Security Analytics solution.

Aveksa products also complement RSA’s strong authentication, access management and federation solutions portfolio. Together, RSA and Aveksa have the opportunity to fuse notions of authentication and identity as part of an Adaptive Identity platform, leveraging Big Data analytics to transform identity assurance and access controls to ensure only legitimate users have appropriate access to sensitive corporate information.

Executive Quotes:

Art Coviello, RSA Executive Chairman and Executive Vice President, EMC Corporation “Today’s enterprises face significant challenges around Identity and Access Management.

or control. Without the deep intelligence able to provide insight into what users should and should not have access to, traditional tools that simply automate IAM leave organizations exposed to the risk of excessive privilege, data breaches and regulatory non-compliance.

Together, RSA and Aveksa see tremendous opportunity to help our customers overcome these IAM challenges.”

Vick Vaishnavi, Aveksa Corp.

Chief Executive Officer“We are excited about joining the RSA team and the strategic alignment between our organizations. Over the years, our customers have benefited from Aveksa’s comprehensive, businessdriven IAM solutions. Together with RSA, we can continue our journey to adaptive identity management that addresses today’s ever-evolving access challenges. We will continue to provide our customers and the broader market with best-in-class solutions that reduce business risk and enable efficient operations.”

Employers urged to take extra care of young people starting summer jobs Workers are far more likely to be injured in workplace accidents during the first few months of a new job than at any other time says the British Safety Council. With the holiday season approaching, employers are urged to pay extra attention to the health and safety of young people hired for temporary, summer work.

“There are many reasons for this: a general lack of work experience; unfamiliarity with the workplace, machinery or work processes; a lack of physical capability to do the job or the confidence to raise concerns; a failure of employers to provide the necessary training and familiarisation.”

“Leadership is key in preventing injury to a young person at the start of their working life. Organisations

need to ensure that safe and healthy work practices are the rule and they have a culture that promotes and values safe behaviour.

The first step is to plan ahead and establish what the risks are - risks from lifting, working at height, using machinery, moving around the site, inhalation of dust, are the most common ones.

Then using the knowledge of experienced staff decide how best to control these risks including through the provision of relevant training.

Do check that young people have understood what they have been taught.”

“The British Safety Council is determined to keep health and safety simple and has a priority to reduce the risks young people face at work.

We have worked closely with schools and have provided resources to help them develop hazard awareness among young people.

We have a dedicated website that is easily accessible, with information that is simple to understand and advice that is helpful for any employer working

with young people. I strongly advise employers to check out the resources we have made freely available.”

Risk education is crucial to achieve the British Safety Council’s vision that nobody is injured or made ill at work. Its Speak Up, Stay Safe campaign highlights the particular risks that young people face and puts good communication at the heart of good health and safety.

HID Global awarded several new gesture-based access control patents that increase privacy, security & convenience when using smart cards and smartphones Highlights:

• Patents allow a user to define a series of threedimensionalhand motion sequences (gestures) to be used to control operation of an RFID-based device as an additional authentication factor • Provides convenience and speed, while also allowing the user to define gesturebased passwords to control mobile phone functionality when incorporated into an NFC-enabled smartphones • Gesture-based patent additions strengthen HID Global’s IP portfolio of over 1,000 pending and issued patents

ID Global®, a worldwide leader in secure identity solutions, announced that the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office granted several patents for the company’s innovation related to gesture-based methods of using three-dimensional (3-D) motion sequences to increase privacy, security and convenience when using RFID-based devices such as smart cards and NFC-enabled smartphones for a broad range of applications.

These patent additions strengthen HID Global’s IP portfolio of over 1,000 pending and issued patents and protect the company’s intellectual capital.

HID Global’s latest inventions allow a user to define a series of hand motion sequences or gestures to be used to control operation of an RFID-based device, introducing the notion of a new authentication factor.

For example, when incorporated into a RFID smart card, a user can present the card to a reader, rotate the card 90 degrees to the right and then back to the original position to enable the card to be read.

This greatly minimizes the possibility of a rogue device surreptitiously stealing the user’s RFID credential in a “bump and clone” attack.

“We are excited to see these patents issued as they confirm the industry’s recognition of HID Global as an innovator of secure identity technologies,” said Dr. Tam Hulusi, senior vice president of strategic innovation and intellectual property with HID Global.

“HID Global invites partners to contact us for information on licensing these and other HID Global patents to develop new and innovative solutions.”

The invention opens up a new field of gesture-based authentication and is particularly pertinent when incorporated into an NFCenabled mobile phone. Apart from the benefits of convenience and speed, the user can define gesturebased passwords to easily add an additional factor of authentication (e.g., something you know in addition to something you have) to the phone-based transaction.

These user-defined, gesturebased passwords can also work in a two-dimensional mode similar to a combination lock, or they can also include 3-D motions such as moving to the left, right, forward and backward.

HID Global’s invention can also be utilized to unlock Apps as well as to lock and unlock a door, similar to the way a mechanical key is used to lock and unlock a door. Additionally, it can allow the user to secretly signal that he is using his card or phone to gain access but is under duress.

New patents granted to HID Global for this invention are US 8,427,320 and US 8,232,879, and the company has received notification that the European Patent Office has indicated their intention to grant a patent.

Megapixel Security Camera

A

megapixel camera is a high resolution I.P. camera also known as a network camera. It can be described as a camera and computer combined in one unit. The main components of a network camera include a lens, an image sensor, one or several processors, and memory. The processors are used for image processing, compression, video analysis and networking functionalities. The memory is used for storing the network camera’s firmware (computer program) and for local recording of video sequences.

The resolution of an I.P. camera is measured in terms of pixels. The higher the resolution, the sharper the picture. Any digital picture is actually constructed of tiny squares. These square are called pixels. The more the pixels, the sharper the picture.

Pixel (Picture Element)

A pixel is an individual element of a digital image. The pixel is the smallest addressable screen element; it is the smallest unit of picture which can be controlled. Each pixel has its own address. The address of a pixel corresponds to its coordinates. Pixels are normally arranged in a 2-dimensional grid and are often represented using dots or squares. The intensity of each pixel is variable. In colour image systems, a colour is typically represented by three or four component intensities such as red, green, and blue, or cyan, magenta, yellow, and black.

If the resolution of the monitor is set to 1024 x 768, this means that the largest image it can display is www.ind-safety.com

TECH UPDATE

1,024 tiny squares wide by 768 tiny squares high. In other words, you can fit a maximum of 786,432 pixels on that screen. A megapixel camera can capture approximately 1 million pixels. Not only does this result in a very sharp image, but you can also zoom in on that image without losing a tremendous amount of detail. A megapixel (MP) is equal to 1 million pixels.

The number of megapixels determines the resolution of an image, and a digital image with more megapixels has more resolution. Any camera with a resolution of more than a million pixels is by definition a megapixel camera. The lowest resolution in the megapixel range in the security market is around 1.3 megapixels, which provides 1280 x 1024-pixel resolution (or 1.3 million pixels), to resolutions as high as 10 megapixels (3,648 x 2,752 pixels).

This detail is critical in a security camera. It means that one can zoom in on an image of an automobile and read the license plate. Or look closer at the surveillance image of a bank robber and get a good look at say, a birth mark or the logo on the shirt.

High-Definition (HD) camera resolution may be considered a subset of megapixel. HD is defined by the specific megapixel resolutions at specific frame rates with a specific aspect ratio - 720p or 1080p. The numbers 720 and 1080 refer to the horizontal resolution.

Therefore, 720p HD camera resolution provides images that are 1280 x 720 pixels (921,600 pixels - not megapixel), and 1080p HD cameras provide 1920 x 1080 pixel resolution, or 2.1 megapixels. The HD video format also uses an aspect ratio of 16:9 (rather than 5:4 or 4:3), and the frame rate is standardized at 60, 50, 30 or 25 fps (depending on your TV). Megapixel cameras offer resolutions higher than broadcast

98 | JULY 2013 | INDUSTRIAL SAFETY REVIEW

HD resolution.

When to deploy a Megapixel Camera

Megapixel cameras are ideal for viewing large areas such as parking lots or lobbies. In these applications, one is not looking for details such as license plate numbers or individual faces. Rather, the goal is to view or record the general activity in an area. One megapixel camera can often do the job of two or more analog cameras, cutting down on the cost of installing cable and hardware.

When you need detail. Where there is a need to identify faces, read license plates, or identify objects in a scene, megapixel cameras with a zoom lens can provide invaluable investigative detail.

Using cameras with varying resolutions. Cameras of varying resolutions can be combined on the same network. Core areas can then be viewed and recorded with higher resolution quality while secondary areas are viewed at less resolution with slower frame rates.

Video analytics can also be applied to trigger megapixel streaming only when activated by an ‘event’. This approach conserves valuable bandwidth to optimize existing network capacity as well as recorder storage space.

Advantages of IP megapixel video

• Ease of network system connectivity : Improved networking infrastructure enables connection of multiple cameras with fewer cables, and the use of Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) even allows power to be supplied to cameras on the same CAT-5 cables.

• The superior resolution www.ind-safety.com

TECH UPDATE

provided by megapixel cameras enables highly detailed and accurate digital PTZ (pan-tiltzoom) of live and recorded images.

• Image Quality Advantage • Storage : Developments in H.264 make the bandwidth and storage requirements of megapixel images in IP based systems, comparable to those of standard resolution images.

• Cost effective : Megapixel cameras are also comparable in price to standard-resolution cameras when you consider that fewer megapixel cameras may be required to cover larger areas than analogue cameras. In some applications, a megapixel network camera could cover the same area as a CCTV camera with an improved level of picture quality so you could actually identify people. For other applications, megapixel meant covering a much wider area than CCTV cameras.

Comparing apples-to-apples, a one megapixel network camera can cover more than four times the area of a CCTV camera with the same resolution.

Coverage area. Determine how wide an area that needs to be covered. For instance, if the area to be covered is a 10,000 ft parking lot with license plate and/or facial detail, the choices are: 28 CCTV cameras, seven 1.3 megapixel cameras, or three 3.1 megapixel cameras.

Camera to object distance.

This is critical for the selecting the right lens. The lens does not increase the resolution of the camera; it simply defines where you are focusing. Once you select the right focal length of the lens make sure the lens matches the camera quality. A lens does not increase the resolution of a camera but the wrong lens can absolutely hurt the resolution of the camera so while a plastic lens may suffice for a CCTV camera, a megapixel camera needs a megapixel quality lens.

Conclusions • IMS Research predicts a significant increase in the installation of networked video surveillance systems, and that more than half the network cameras shipped by 2014 will be high-definition or megapixel resolution.

• The higher resolution provided by megapixel cameras enables system designers to use fewer surveillance cameras to cover larger areas without losing detail. This reduces infrastructure and cabling costs. In addition to reducing the initial installation costs of a system, these benefits translate directly into greater return-on-investment (ROI) and lower total cost of ownership.

• The range of megapixel surveillance cameras continues to expand to accommodate various application requirements. www.ind-safety.com

High-rise buildings have been rising day by day in city skylines worldwide.

They are also known as “Skyscrapers”, “Towers”, “Tall Buildings”. There is no comprehensive data available on the number of high-rise buildings existing in the world. Joshua A. HaberkornHalm in his White Paper on high-rise building evacuation published in August 2004 quotes that according to Emporis website, there were 88,500 high-rise building in 7,000 cities worldwide in 2004.

The website further claims that prominent cities such as Hong Kong, New York, Singapore, and Sao Paulo boast having over 2000 high-rise buildings, in their limits alone. Other metropolises such as Shanghai, Dubai, London and Chicago continue to grow their skylines as well not far behind.

According to the latest information available from Emporis website, Mumbai- Pune regions alone have more than 2000 highrise buildings. Anyhow, the high-rise buildings have become the status symbols and landmarks of today.

Different jurisdictions, codes, rules and property managers define high rise differently. Thus let us know some of the definitions of a high rise structure.

The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) of USA defines a High-Rise Building as “a building greater than 75 feets (23 m) in height, where the building height is measured from the lowest level of fire department vehicle access to the

floor of the highest floor occupiable story”.

This definition was shared with several sources, like National Institute for Safety and Technology (NIST), International Fire Code.

However, NIST further defines buildings over 100 stories as “Tall Buildings”. As per International Building Code, “high rise will be 75 feet to 450 feet” and everything above will be categorized as “Super High Rise”.

As per the National Building Code of India, 2005, “all buildings 15 m or above in height shall be considered as high rise building”.

This norm is followed by various states in India (Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, Delhi, West Bengal, etc.). In state of Karnataka 15 m are accepted as high rise, however, Bangalore Development Authority (BDA) consider 24 m and above as high rise. In state of Maharashtra, Urban Development Department considers 24 m and above as high rise.

Although the floors do not always equate to height and viceversa, it is extremely important to know these parameters to evaluate an escape system. Number of floors and linear height should always be considered when res- ponding to a high-rise emergency.

In an emergency, getting people safely out of a high-rise building presents special challenges. Because of its inherent structure, panic of occupants in the early stages of a

ATM Skimming : The real security challenge

T

here is a growing and highly effective breed of bank robbers at work around the world. Money is not particularly safe and secure, and no city is immune. All of the real-life stories above highlight a practice known as ATM skimming.

It is one of the financial industry’s fastest-growing electronic crimes, now costing institutions and consumers $8 billion annually, according to the U.S. Secret Service.

There are indirect costs as well for law enforcement and financial institution security staffs to investigate, document and report these incidences of skimming. And skimming can affect any of the more than 400,000 ATMs in the United States.

A Growing Threat

Statistics from the global ATM Industry Association give a sense of the opportunity for skimming on an international basis.

• There are more than 1.7 million ATMs worldwide.

• About every six minutes, a new ATM is installed somewhere in

104 | JULY 2013 | INDUSTRIAL SAFETY REVIEW

the world.

• Annually, there are 40 billion worldwide ATM cash withdrawals.

ATM skimming is the electronic “bank job” of the decade, and its practitioners have become the modern-day Bonnie and Clyde.

But unlike that legendary couple, skimmers choose card readers and miniature cameras or keypad overlays rather than guns to steal personal financial information and money.

Skimming is a highly profitable crime with a relatively low risk of being caught. It is much easier to use an ATM to withdraw $1,500 from someone’s bank account than it is to steal a home entertainment system worth the same amount.

Internet sites offer skimming equipment and training guides for sale, which makes it very easy for criminals to become involved in financial identity theft. With a little practice, installing and removing the equipment is simple.

The Modern Bank Job

Many skimmers operate in organized gangs, taking large amounts of money from a few high volume ATMs over a couple of hours and then moving to another location, often in another city.

By moving so quickly, they are less likely to draw attention or be apprehended. With few exceptions, financial institutions are required to reimburse consumers’ losses. In a matter of seconds, criminals can place a skimming device on an ATM card reader that blends in with the machine’s appearance and does not interfere with its operation.

The device is able to read personal financial information from www.ind-safety.com

the magnetic stripe on the back of the consumer’s card.

A small wireless camera, concealed near the ATM fascia—or a keypad overlay—captures the user’s PIN as it is entered. Information from the device and camera is sent wirelessly to the criminal, who is usually parked with a laptop computer nearby. The ATM user typically has no idea that his or her information has been compromised.

Criminals upload the stolen account information onto the magnetic stripes of purchased blank cards, cloning an inventory of duplicate credit/debit cards. They write the passwords on the face of the cards to keep them linked.

These new cards allow the thieves to cash out debit accounts or use the information to complete Internet purchases. There also are electronic markets in which the cardholder’s data can be sold to worldwide crime syndicates.

By the time the consumer receives a bank or credit card statement, notices the discrepancies and reports them to his or her bank, the skimmer is usually long gone, having left few traces behind for police to follow.

Criminals generally find it easier to attack unmanned ATMs, of which more than 250,000 are onsite at financial institutions. Since most banks are closed in the evenings and on weekends, criminals have plenty of time to install and remove their skimming equipment without interruption.

Many offpremise ATMs are located in well-lit, 24-hour manned locations such as convenience stores or other retail environments.

Fighting Back

Financial institutions acknowledge www.ind-safety.com

that skimming is a very serious problem and are taking steps to combat it. Banking security and risk compliance teams can establish antiskimming plans and procedures.

Effective plans may include random daily inspections, even during weekends, of ATMs by security and other branch personnel to help spot irregularities, such as the addition of a skimmer or a camera to the unit. By taking a picture of the ATM, it will be easier to notice if small changes such as reader attachments or cardholders have been added.

Also, employees should be instructed to look for traces of adhesive or tape residue—evidence that skimming equipment may have been installed and removed.

If skimming equipment or residue is found, federal and local law enforcement should be immediately notified to begin processing a potential crime scene. Bank officials should quickly contact all of their ATM networks to advise them of a possible security breach.

Typically busy ATMs that show uncharacteristic periods of overnight downtime, without a known cause, could be the target of a skimming attempt that prevented normal operation. That should be cause for further investigation. Cameras focused on the ATM can act as a 24/7 deterrent to skimming and other crimes, while also providing video to help identify skimmers as they install and remove their equipment. In the event of a security compromise, the video can be invaluable in helping to establish an accurate timeframe for the placement of skimming devices.

A recent study by Harris Interactive reported that 67 percent of U.S. adults who use financial institutions with ATMs would likely switch to another institution after experiencing ATM fraud or a data breach.

Such studies stress the importance for financial institutions to act immediately to help protect themselves and their customers from personal financial data theft.

raud and other illegal activities are cause for major concern at all banks, identity theft and onpremises holdups are some of the more prominent crimes that come to mind when we think about threats, but smaller petty crimes often are more common and can have a surprisingly significant impact not only on a bank’s bottom line but on its reputation as well.

In one such example of fraud at Bank, a customer had given the teller a large cash deposit. The teller, having counted the money, was in the process of putting the cash in the desk safe when he was distracted by a question from a coworker. As the teller turned to address his colleague, the customer simply reached over the counter and took back a portion of money, pocketing it.

In another case, a teller left his desk briefly, leaving a short queue of customers to wait. One of the customers from the queue

stepped forward and grabbed a handful of new credit cards from a box on the teller’s desk that were ready to be mailed out to customers with activation information. The customer, undetected by his fellow bank patrons, slipped the stolen cards into a bag and stepped back into line as though nothing had happened.

As serious as these seemingly small acts of theft were, there are crimes with far graver outcomes.

Recently, an elderly woman was killed after being robbed by a man who fled the scene and escaped capture. He then used the woman’s bank card to withdraw cash from a Bank ATM. While this story cannot have a happy conclusion, justice was served in the end with the help of video surveillance technology.

The use of video surveillance technology is a primary tactic for combating threats such as these, but to be most effective it must be employed in conjunction with other security measures like supplementary technology, information sharing with authorities, and widespread employee and consumer education.

The quality and effectiveness of video surveillance technology as a deterrent to crime or as evidence in solving crimes is often called into question. However, the use of video surveillance technology has been enormously beneficial, particularly in providing conclusive evidence.

Without high-quality video footage, the crimes discussed above would likely have gone unsolved, leaving breaches of sensitive customer data, identity theft and murder in their wake, and the perpetrators free to www.ind-safety.com

act again.

Determinants for Video Quality and Effectiveness

Generally, video quality is not an issue as long as high-grade cameras and a comprehensive video management system are installed.

A decade ago, Bank integrated a digital video recording system from Visual Defence (the DVR) to record and manage all of its branch and ATM cameras throughout Israel, and has worked with the vendor to continually upgrade and customize the system to ensure the highest standards of security.

The video surveillance system offers the bank several benefits, including a unique compression algorithm that allows video images to be stored at a very high quality with very minimal storage requirements, which helps cut overall system costs by reducing the amount of storage hardware required.

In our experience, the effectiveness of video surveillance is dependent on two variables: • The way in which the technology is integrated with other systems to provide useful information and • The manner in which an organization responds to that information.

The

flexibility

of

the

video

surveillance system to be customized for specific business and security objectives is of major importance when it comes to having a system that will provide useful and relevant information. Video surveillance system is integrated with the intruder alarm system, as well as with panic buttons.

If either alarm is triggered, the system will send commands to cameras in the appropriate location to automatically start recording as well as saving images from a predetermined amount of time before the alarm was triggered.

Those images, along with associated audio, are stored both locally and centrally.

Ease-of-use and customization capabilities also have a significant impact on video effectiveness. A digital video surveillance system, such as the DVR, with a graphical user interface (GUI) that can be tailored to closely reflect the GUI of the existing burglar alarm system creates a user experience that is familiar and can help increase rapid and efficient alarm response.

For example, because our security operators were already familiar with the GUI, system training was completed in a little more than 10 minutes. Even as additional system features are added, the video surveillance system has remained very operator friendly, which continues to contribute to overall effectiveness.

hysical security: In a lot of ways, it’s one of the more overlooked aspects of protecting a banking institution. Face it, hack attacks, malware, identity theft and even your basic insider threat - those are way sexier stories, and they help information security (or logical security, if you prefer) to get the lion’s share of attention.

Yet, as the national economy goes south, good old fashioned bank robberies are back in style, and ATM theft attempts are up, too.

And then there’s the arcane art of social engineering, in which bad guys disguise themselves as good guys and attempt to gain access to restricted areas by preying upon your employees’ desire to be good customer servants.

When you stop to think about it, there really are a lot of good reasons why physical security should be among your top considerations this year. Which is exactly why we paid

108 | JULY 2013 | INDUSTRIAL SAFETY REVIEW

so much attention to the topic over the past month or so.

Beyond outlining the threats, we tried to focus on some of the best physical security solutions and strategies, including: • Biometrics - how some institutions are using fingerprints and other personal identifiers to secure systems and transactions; • Convergence - bringing physical and logical security programs under a single protective umbrella; • Risk Assessment - how to gauge and mitigate your institution’s physical vulnerabilities.

There’s a lot to think about beyond the security cameras, guards and locks. That’s why we made physical security one of our earliest priorities this year, and why you should give it equal consideration.

If you have any questions about any of them, or if you wish to suggest future story ideas for us to pursue, don’t hesitate to drop me a line.

Organizations could choose to add iris images as an alternate biometric over fingerprints, because, for some users, fingerprint collection can be difficult. At times, NIST says, the fingerprints are too dry to yield a good image, and lotions, wounds or illness also can make for poor images. The guidance shows how agencies could opt to use two biometric sources to avoid such circumstances.

NIST researchers determined that an iris image compressed to 3 kilobytes provides enough detail to accurately recognize an individual iris. “More importantly, this iris standard ensures that the iris data is interoperable, that is, it can be exchanged easily between cameras and readers from different makers and across the world,� says Patrick Grother, NIST biometric testing project leader.

Interoperability Agencies

Across

NIST explains that standardized compact images of one or both irises can be loaded on the PIV card for compact on-card storage and fast reading times. www.ind-safety.com

The document provides performance specifications for iris biometrics to assure high accuracy and provides specifications for iris cameras to guide implementers on camera selection. These standardsbased elements support interoperability within and across agencies using iris recognition technology.

The on-card comparison for fingerprints is aimed to improve privacy. The NIST specifications describe how to place one or two compact fingerprint templates and a recognition algorithm on the card. When users want to sign a document digitally or open a secure file, for example, they can place their fingers on a reader attached to the keyboard to verify their identity.

Employees now must type in a personal identification number for matching, which is subject to error and misuse.

NIST also says its scientists are working on another project to evaluate how quickly irises age.

Using two data sets with hundreds of thousands of iris images collected from frequent travelers in airports, the scientists found no significant deterioration in recognition over nearly a decade. NIST says its measurement suggests that irises would meet the PIV requirement that biometric data should be viable over a 12-year period.

Banking Security System : Monitoring the technology

T

he present system of security is not very efficient as it can be easily faked by the smart larceners as they can get hold of the keys or the passwords. Also it’s a painstaking job for the administration of the banks to ke-ep an account of the locker activities as there is no dedicated employee appointed for this. To get rid of these issues, bank security system like this one is needed which does not require any manual presence of the officer. This also reduces the waiting time of the customers.

Iris Scanner

A vein Iris scanning may seem to be something which is very innovative but it’s a simple CCD (Charge Coupled Device) digital camera which uses visible and near-infrared light to capture a clear, high-contrast picture of a person’s iris. The use of near -infrared light is to differentiate the pupil and iris of a person as a person’s pupil is very black, making it easy for the computer. When we look into an iris scanner, the camera, which is 3 to 10 from your eyes, takes a picture, the computer locates: a) The center of the pupil b) The edge of the pupil c) The edge of the iris d) The eyelids and eyelashes, then analyzes the patterns in the iris and translates them into a template Iris scanners are becoming a source of authentication of any individual as everyone has unique eyes.

In most cases, people’s eyes even remain unchanged post an eye surgery. Even the blind people (with irises)can use this facility. Also, the presence of eyeglasses or contact lenses does not cause interference.

The hardware part of wireless iris recognition system is made up of iris recognition verifying module, microcontroller, power module, real-time clock module, and LCD display module.

110 | JULY 2013 | INDUSTRIAL SAFETY REVIEW

The necessary power and makes sure that the system is functional even when the available power is less. The real time clock module satisfies the accuracy of the time needed for the database purpose. The LCD display tells if the authentication is confirmed or not. The microcontroller leads to the next level even if the validation fails.

B.Vein Detector

As mentioned in case of irises, every individual’s veins are completely distinctive. Even the twins don’t have identical veins. The right and left sides of any individual’s veins are also different. Most of the veins are not visible through the skin, and hence can’t be simply forged or fiddled with. Similar to the case of iris, their shape does not change with age.

Infrared Camera which is a device intended for capturing of the veins patterns. They are processed for verification by the CPU by the Complex Programming Logic Design (CPLD). The device consists of an illumination unit with infrared diodes (recommended wavelengths are around 900 nm), a digital signal processor is attached for video preprocessing and image enhancement and processing. Then, there is a microcontroller to control the peripherals. The memory is present to store the enciphered templates.

C. Digital Code Lock

This is a lock which unlike the above two is not common to the locker cluster. It’s individually installed at the door of every locker. This is a microprocessor based digital lock system which gets open if the right password is entered. The password is numeric without any characters.

The password of 6 numbers is mandatory. This lock is interfaced with the microcontroller and has

a memory with it for the storage of password. The whole system is not so expensive and hence can be installed at every locker. This will authenticate the person and will act as a medium to lead the locker holder to the next level of validation.

This will be issued to the holder when they opt for the locker and can be changed only by the authorized bank officials after their validation is done. There are three trials given, if the validation is not done then the system gives in danger signal and the authentication fails.

This lock consists of a LCD screen, keyboard and a microprocessor 8051. The keyboard consist of 12 keys (4*3) from 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,*,0,# and is used to input the password. Where * is used to delete one single digit. When 6 digit password is being entered, #is pressed to submit that password.

LCD screen is used for display. Here LCD is used to show the typed digits and to acts as an interface between the microprocessor and the user.

Identification Number Quiet similar to the above digital code lock, it works on the same principle. This is the only thing which identifies the user as the registered nationalist as the password here is the government registered identification number.

It can be anything driving license, passport, voter id, PAN card or any other proof. This is the same as the one used for the identification purpose while opening an account or a locker. This is set by the bank administration after verification.

This is the last step of authentication, after this the locker can be accessed.

This is an alphanumeric key and the number of characters depends on the proof us ed. This again gives you three chances to validate yourself and access the locker. www.ind-safety.com

Critical changes for new SCBA

S

CBA has evolved to greater levels of sophistication and capability over the past several decades. Transitions that increased the level of respiratory protection started with the mandatory requirement in the mid-1970s to use open-circuit SCBA in lieu of canister- or filter-based respirators in what was originally known as NFPA 19B, Standard on Respiratory Protective Equipment for Firefighters.

This gave way to development of NFPA 1981, Standard on OpenCircuit, Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus for Fire and Emergency Services in the early 1980s.

NFPA 1981 initially set requirements for positive-pressure operation and a minimum 30minute service life above and beyond the existing federal regulations provided for SCBA by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health.

Successive editions of NFPA 1981 have added several requirements over the years including: • Maintenance of positive pressure operation through various expected environmental use conditions.

• Overall system heat and flame resistance.

• A minimum of two different end of service time indicator alarms.

• Mandatory voice communications intelligibility while wearing the facepiece.

• A heads up display showing remaining air supply and other alarms.

• A universal air connection for 112 | JULY 2013 | INDUSTRIAL SAFETY REVIEW

rapid intervention team use.

• Chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear protection for the demonstrating chemical agent, biological agent, and radiological particulate hold out for entire SCBA.

NFPA 1981 is currently in a 2007 edition. Revisions worked on over the past five years will be incorporated into a new edition slated to take effect at the end of 2012 and carry a 2013 edition date.

The committee responsible for this standard has researched several areas for changing the standard and developed new requirements aimed at improving the respiratory protection provided by SCBA.

Low-air alarm

The most significant of the changes to NFPA 1981 is a provision that lets fire departments and other organizations specify the time that their end of service time indicator alarm goes off (within certain limits). Currently, this indicator alarm is set to go off when the air supply reaches 25 percent of the remaining air. This is based on current requirements from NIOSH, the principal government organization responsible for baseline respirator certification.

NFPA 1981 requires SCBA meet the federal regulations for general SCBA in Title 42 Code of Federal Regulations Part 84 that pertain to SCBA. However, the committee responsible for NFPA 1981 responded to a series of requests from fire service members to in having this alarm set to go off www.ind-safety.com

TECH UPDATE

at a higher level of remaining air supply.

These requests came as the result of fire departments realizing that they never get the full length of rated service time for their breathing apparatus. SCBA rated for 30 minutes may last only 15 minutes under hard work conditions and high breathing rates, leaving only minutes of air in the cylinder once the alarm goes off.

Many departments consider this time too short, even opting for a longer-rated SCBA is still considered inadequate. The new requirement will dictate the system to alarm at 33 percent of the full cylinder pressure as opposed the current 25 percent of the SCBA original air supply.

In addition, manufacturers will be required to change the head-updisplay (HUD) to provide heads-up display signals at 100 percent, 75 percent, 50 percent, and 33 percent.

SCBA are currently only required to display a signal at 50 percent; however, many manufacturers show other percentages as part of their SCBA HUD. While NFPA was able to gain a consensus for implementing this change, it did not come easy.

A change of this type is counter to the current federal regulations and would invalidate the NIOSH SCBA certification if the alarm time is other than 25 percent.

The committee had to approach the federal government to request a change in the NIOSH regulations. This change must go through a public rule-making process, which provides a means for the government to solicit comments from interested organizations or individuals regarding the proposed changes.

Buddy breather

Another change is the ability to www.ind-safety.com

recognize and certify SCBA as having an emergency breathing support systems, more commonly known as buddy breathing systems. This type of equipment, though used within the fire service, was prohibited by NIOSH. Due to fire service insistence and the investigation that such systems could be adequately and safely employed, NIOSH changed its regulations to permit this type of equipment and practice. Fortunately, this change was not subject to same formal rule-making process as was the alarm time setting.

Radiant-heat resistance

A requirement was added to evaluate and set minimum criteria for the radiant-heat resistance of the facepiece, which will result in changes for the types of lenses materials used. This requirement introduces a new test method to replicate an extreme fireground exposure and evaluates the resistance of the facepiece to deformation or degradation that would result in a loss of positive pressure.

NFPA has recently released a notice on the possible shortcomings of existing SCBA facepieces being able to survive extreme emergency conditions as found during a number of fatality investigations.

Facepiece integrity

An additional evaluation of the entire SCBA for continued positivepressure operations under a prolonged high-heat exposure has been added to supplement the current overall heat and flame test.

The current edition specifies preheating the full SCBA worn on a half-manikin and attached to a breathing machine for a 15 minute at 203 degrees Fahrenheit exposure. This preheating period is

followed by a 10-second exposure to a direct flame and dropping the SCBA to create shock to the SCBA suspension.

An additional test is being added where the same sequence will be followed, but the preheating period will be shorter and at a higher temperature (5 minutes at 500 degrees).

The new test will address greater survivability of the SCBA in extreme environments and is coupled with the new facepiece test for demonstrating resistance to high-heat exposure degradation of SCBA components.

Clear communications

An improved communications test has been added to provide a quantified assessment of the ability of firefighters to speak and be heard through the facepiece.

The new test replaces a current method involving human subjects and listeners with a method for simulating sounds and voice communications through the facepiece using specialized test equipment.

It is intended to overcome the inconsistencies associated with using human subjects and provide more objective procedures for evaluating the effects of SCBA in allowing clear and understood voice communications.

These significant changes will impact the design of all SCBA in the U.S. market. It will likely be several months after the new standard comes out when SCBA manufacturers will be able to offer new products and have them certified to these requirements.

In the meantime, it is important for the fire service to understand these changes and their implications in anticipating newer edition SCBA or retrofits to existing SCBA. INDUSTRIAL SAFETY REVIEW | JULY 2013 | 113

Firefighter PPE standards : How you can make an impact The process for creating and revising standards is fully dependent on the technical committees which are established with fixed size committees.

S

tandards on personal protective equipment establish minimum levels of performance that are intended to reflect firefighter needs.

The process for creating and revising standards is fully dependent on the technical committees which are established with fixed size committees. These include a balanced membership from various interested categories including end users, labor unions, manufacturers, research and testing laboratories, and special experts.

However, these standards only become better when individual firefighters and other experienced end users outside the process provide their input to the committee to reflect the practical realities of personal protection.

We are writing to encourage you to consider providing proposals and comments on several standards 114 | JULY 2013 | INDUSTRIAL SAFETY REVIEW

that are in the process of being developed or being revised.

Before we address the current standards in revision, it is important to understand how anyone can provide input to the NFPA process. Unlike many standards development organizations, the NFPA provides two different phases for public recommendations.

Formerly known as public proposals, the first stage is public input. This phase permits individuals to put in suggested changes to an existing standard that are considered by the committee writing the standard in preparing their first draft of the revision.

Any topic is open for consideration, but the NFPA requests that the proposals be put forward in a format where a specific change is suggested and a statement for substantiation should www.ind-safety.com

TECH UPDATE

be provided with the change.

The committee reviews each suggested change and either agrees to make the revision or disagrees by rejecting the proposal. However, the committee can also agree in principle by making a related change or accept part of the proposal.

While each suggestion is separately reviewed, the committee may react to a large number of proposals on a single topic and respond with a change that addresses each of the related proposals.

The NFPA is in the process of implementing new procedures where public proposals are viewed more as suggestions as the committee creates a first revised draft of the standard.

The second phase of public involvement is public comment.

NFPA is also adapting the rules for how this part of the process is carried out, but for the current year the existing procedures will be in place.

Public comments are submitted after the NFPA publishes its report on proposals, which shows how each of the public comments are handled and an initial draft of the revised or new document. www.ind-safety.com

Like proposals, comments provide recommendations for specific parts of the proposed standard or revision.

These recommendations can take the form of adding or changing text, adding new language, or removing parts of the standard.

The committee again reviews each comment and decides whether to accept or reject comments. As with proposals, comments can also be accepted in principle or in part, but another option open to the committee is to hold the proposed change to the next revision.

The actual procedures for submitting a public proposal (now public input) or a comment can be found on the NFPA’s website, under the tab for “Codes and Standards.”

The forms appear to the right side of this page and include explanatory notes for submitting the respective change. In addition, draft documents can be reviewed by selecting the specific standard of interest from the list that appears to the left side of the same page under the heading, “Document information pages.”

By choosing the respective standard, information on that standard will appear, including a full draft of the standard, notices and minutes of any meeting, and a list of members for the respective committee.

The pages for each individual standard also provide a list of specific deadlines for submitting input or comments for the particular standard.

The most important document to look at is the “Report for Proposals” on new documents. This document provides information on what proposals were submitted and how each proposal was addressed by the committee.

PPE size and fit : A vital safety issue

I

f you were going to put your life on the line and your safety was incumbent on both your judgment and how well your protective gear was designed, then you would have no qualms about making sure that your PPE was the best possible.

Most firefighters cannot choose the exact gear they wear; that’s a decision made by department officials. In some cases, a fire department will go through a relatively detailed process of hazard and risk assessment, field trials, and product examination.

At the other extreme, some departments may simply buy what is least expensive based on a limited budget and a general assumption that all gear meeting NFPA 1971 should be adequate for minimal protection.

116 | JULY 2013 | INDUSTRIAL SAFETY REVIEW

One important choice

Even if the turnout gear has been selected for you, you do have one important choice — how your gear fits. There is a definite relationship between PPE fit and protection.

PPE is designed to provide protection against hazards on the fireground and those encountered in other types of emergencies. The ability of the clothing and equipment to protect you depends on how well it fits on your body as well as how the fit of the clothing and equipment affect your ability to respond.

Clothing that fits too tightly will lessen protection and restrict movement, requiring more energy to undertake required tasks. Restrictive gear will increase the propensity for heat stress and associated ailments.

In addition, clothing that fits too tightly will eliminate some of its www.ind-safety.com

TECH UPDATE

protective capabilities by reducing the air layers that enhance the clothing’s thermal insulation.

Similarly clothing and equipment that is too loose will hobble your movement, leading to increased physical stress. A loose SCBA facepiece will not provide positive pressure from respiratory hazards. Loose clothing items like helmets, gloves and footwear may inhibit movement, affect your orientation and make you more likely to sustain injuries.

Size ranges

The National Fire Protection Association standards require manufacturers provide coats in both male and female sizing with chest circumference increments of 2 inches and sleeve length increments of 1 inch over a relatively large range of common sizes. Similarly, pants must be provided in sizes with waist circumferences and inseam lengths in 1-inch increments for both men and women.

This sizing system applies to what is considered stock gear. In actuality, nearly all manufacturers and many departments go through a more detailed approach, custom building gear to fit the dimensions of each firefighter.

Other clothing and equipment items must also meet minimum sizing requirements. Firefighter gloves must be offered in seven different sizes ranging from XXS to XXL. Footwear must be provided in both men’s and women’s sizing with men’s sizes ranging from 5 to 16 and women’s sizes spanning 5 to 10. All footwear must be offered in half sizes and in a minimum of three widths for each gender.

The protective hood is the only component that is not required to be adjustable or provided in multiple sizes, although some manufacturers do offer more than one size. SCBA www.ind-safety.com

facepieces are also generally offered in two or three different sizes to provide a good face-to-respirator seal.

Off the rack

At times the original gear provided to the firefighter simply does not fit for variety of reasons. In some cases, fire departments may buy stock gear based on their expectations of what size might fit best. This is a poor approach since indicated sizes of gear may not coincide with an individual’s normal perception of the required sizing.

Another common occurrence is that gear issued individuals is reissued to other individuals without any tailoring to ensure correct sizing.

Under these circumstances, the firefighters are generally asked to pick out what fits best.

Since there are a number of other dimensions that go into sizing clothing other than the common measurements of chest size and sleeve length for coats or waist circumference and inseam for pants, this practice also does not always yield favorable results.

Even when custom clothing is provided, mistakes can be made and body size can change between the time of the measurements and some point thereafter.

Determining fit

One of the problems is that firefighters simply do not know how their gear should fit. NFPA 1500, which is the standard for fire department occupational safety and health program, specifies that firefighters should put on their coat and pants and go through two different movements to ensure that the coat and pants overlap by at least 2 inches in all three layers while in different orientations.

This includes reaching overhead and then bending forward and side to side (without wearing an SCBA).

While this set of procedures is useful INDUSTRIAL SAFETY REVIEW | JULY 2013 | 117

TECH TRENDS

complete coverage of your body. You may also note excessive strain or tension that would be indicative of poorly fitted gear.

Developing the test

for ensuring appropriate coat-pant overlap, it does not address all aspects of fit.

The best practices for determining if a firefighter has the correct size is to undertake dynamic fit testing.

Dynamic fit testing involves putting on clothing and equipment and going through a series of actions that will help firefighters determine how the clothing fits their body and the potential for how it may impede specific response activity.

For example, certainly clothing may feel comfortable when the firefighter is in a standing position.

Yet if she sits down and feels bunching or strain from the coat or pants, this may be an indication an improper fit.

Likewise, you crawl, duck-walk or change your orientation, your pants may not stay over your boots and other portions of the clothing may not remain in place to provide 118 | JULY 2013 | INDUSTRIAL SAFETY REVIEW

Every fire department should develop a dynamic fit test to ensure new gear is properly issued and that old gear still fits correctly. The best way develop a dynamic fit test is to consider types of training exercises the firefighters go through and how their gear responds to a variety of orientations and response activities.

The fit test should include a variety of actions like reaching, stretching, bending, crawling, walking, sitting and any other orientation firefighters expect to find themselves in during an emergency.

In addition, it is important that when dynamic fit testing is performed, all items of the ensemble including SCBA, gloves, footwear, and any tools be employed as this is the way that firefighter will expect to wear their ensemble.

By identifying any ill-fitting effects on their functionality, firefighters can make recommendations about their gear and determine what does properly fit.

It is likely that new technology in the future will enable better fitting gear. Body scanners and other devices can translate individual dimensions into clothing patterns or at least assess best-fitting products when coupled with sophisticated software.

For the time being, firefighters should make the one good choice they can by insisting that their gear fit properly by evaluating its fit during a series of field-relevant actions. Sizing and fit truly matter when it comes to personal protective equipment. www.ind-safety.com

Continue on page no. 102 high-rise evacuation can contribute to high casualty losses.

A document describing the buildings emergency evacuation policy and plans should be provided by the building management. The document should describe fire detection systems, fire reporting systems, communication systems, and the emergency evacuation plans provided by the building.

Once the high-rise buildings emergency systems have been determined, an emergency evacuation plan should be written by each occupier / owner and distributed to all its occupants and employees.

In the event of an emergency high-rise evacuation, occupants should listen to and follow the buildings public address system instructions. Upon instruction, occupants should exit the premises following the established evacuation plan, proceed down stairwells in an orderly manner, and report to the designated meeting place.

Building control may be responsible for determining the safest and most efficient means of evacuation, depending on the nature of the emergency and scope of damage. In some emergency situations, it may be safer for employees to remain in the building until notified that it is safe to evacuate.

The special fire safety issues related to high-rise buildings can be summarized into six major areas: fire department accessibility, egress and people movement, natural forces, increase in occupant and fire load, combination of occupancies, and arrangement of internal utility services.

Due to the height of highrise buildings, it is expected that

128 | JULY 2013 | INDUSTRIAL SAFETY REVIEW

occupants would take longer time to travel from the level of their original location to the ground level.

In addition to the horizontal travel time from their initial position to the staircase lobby on the floor, the occupants are required to travel an extended vertical distance which can go up to 500m in the super high-rise buildings. Occupants may experience to walk down hundreds of flights or thousands of steps in the staircases. Not to mention the tiredness of occupants, the slow

Fig: 1 - A typical view of a fire in a high rise building Flames engulf a portion of Tamweel residential tower at Jumeirah Lakes Towers, in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, on 18-11-2012.(Photo: Kaveh Kashani, AP) discharge time will result in an extensive queuing in the entrance of staircases on each floor.

Evacuation from high floors through numerous flights of stairs, which is very difficult even for healthy individuals, is nearly impossible for people with physical limitations.

Conventional means of egress include: • The limited capacity of stairs for occupant egress; • The limited capacity of stairs for emergency responder access during occupant evacuation; • The inherent limitations of evacuating persons with mobility impairments; and

• The lack of alternatives when a single event compromises stairs and, where used in emergency situations, elevators.

Modifications to stairwell design have been approved at the committee level for the National Fire Protection Association’s Life Safety Code and Building Construction and Safety Code.

2. EVACUATION STRATEGIES

The term “evacuation” is used in a broad sense to describe the movement of some or all building occupants to a place of acceptable safety in the event of a fire.

The evacuation strategies can be divided into 6 groups: • Delayed Evacuation • Partial Evacuation • Self-Evacuation • Total Building Evacuation • Phased Evacuation • Stay-in-place Approach 2.1 Delayed Evacuation: In delayed evacuation, occupants can remain in the rescue area or area of rescue assistance, albeit near the fire area, for a period before evacuating the building, either by themselves or with assistance from emergency responders or others.

Delayed evacuation might be used for occupants with disabilities.

2.2 Partial Evacuation: Partial evacuation is also known as “zoned evacuation” or “staged evacuation”.

It provides for immediate, general evacuation of the areas of the building nearest the fire incident.

A partial evacuation may be appropriate when the building fire protection features assure that occupants away from the evacuation www.ind-safety.com

TECH UPDATE

zone will be protected from the effects of the fire for a reasonable time. However, evacuation of additional zones may be necessary.

In the event that a fire or smoke condition exists, occupants will evacuate at least two floors below the fire floor, re-enter the floor, and wait for instructions.

2.3. Self-Evacuation: “Self-evacuation refers to occupants evacuating by themselves, before emergency responders have arrived on site, using available means of evacuation, i.e. elevators and stairs.”

2.4. Total Building Evacuation: The total building evacuation is the simplest strategy to implement.

Once the alarm signal is sounded, all building occupants are expected to evacuate to the staircases which lead to the ground floor.

Total evacuation involves the evacuation of all building occupants at once from a building to an outside area of refuge or safety.

The size of high-rise buildings, the large number of people often contained in them and the limited accommodation of elevators and stairwells, make it impractical to quickly evacuate all occupants at once. Sometimes total evacuation Sr. No. 1

can be carried out so that one section of the building after another is evacuated. This strategy is sometimes known as phased evacuation.

In emergencies, elevators could be programmed to move those with the longest distance to go first.

Occupants of lower floors—without disabilities—could choose to use the stairs. During a total evacuation, elevators would collect occupants from the highest floors first, shuttle them to the exit level and return for another load.

In high-rise buildings with large number of occupants and elevated height, total building evacuation of all occupants will result in an extensive queuing before discharge in the staircases. For super high-rise buildings, it could take an hour to descend downwards from top floors to street level using stairs.

The large number of occupants descending down the staircase may also hamper the fire-fighting access to the fire floor through staircases.

Extra one to two minutes were required to ascend each flight of stair with occupants descending downwards simultaneously. In addition, occupants evacuating in stairs could be exposed to other kinds of dangers such as tiredness,

2.5 Phased Evacuation: In high-rise office buildings with large number of occupants, it has been found that the single staged total evacuation is not practical.

Therefore many high-rise buildings in the world propose to use phased evacuation in case of fire. In phased evacuation, the occupants on the most critical floors like fire floor and floors nearby will be prioritised to evacuate first and queuing time into staircases can be reduced. The remaining occupants of the building are evacuated subsequently as necessary.

The concept of phased evacuation relies heavily on adequate fire compartmentation such that any fire occurring will be contained within the fire compartment prior to the arrival of the fire brigades.

It means that only the occupants within the compartment on fire need

becoming dizzy or slipping on surfaces, especially when descending thousands of steps of stairs in highrise buildings.

Total building evacuation is usually only ordered by the fire department. Also, in some circumstances, all building occupants might choose to self-evacuate their facility.

to be evacuated from the building immediately, whilst the remaining occupants only need to be alerted to an incident. Controlled phase evacuation is relative complex, and there is a need to have relatively sophisticated communication system and training.

2.6 Stay-in-place Evacuation: If it was found that all exits from a floor are blocked in case of a fire, it is common to suggest the occupants to go back to their room, close the door and seal the cracks, wave something at the windows and phone for help.

For the disabled occupants, the same stay-in-place approach has also long been used since some of

the disabled occupants are not able to descend the staircase themselves.

Stay-in-place or non-evacuation approach is the occupants remaining in the room with an exterior window, a telephone, and a solid or fire resistant door.

That room can be regarded as a fire or smoke barrier and temporary place of safety for occupant staging.

The occupant in the room needs to contact the emergency personnel via the phone to report his or her location. The emergency personnel will determine the appropriate method to evacuate the occupant.

Stay-in-place approach should also be used for the high-rise building fires.

The essential components for stage-in-place approach include occupants located in enclosed compartments (i.e. residential, hotel and dormitory), non-combustible building construction, and entry doors with self-closers, and provision of central alarm and voice communication system.

3. ESCAPE SYSTEMS

The National Fire Protection Association has made significant progress in the process of recognizing escape devices and systems as supplemental evacuation equipment. The NFPA Technical Committee on Means of Egress has recognized and defined criteria for www.ind-safety.com

TECH UPDATE

this equipment.

ASTM Standard, E2484: specification for high-rise building external evacuation controlled descent devices, is focused on equipment that will allow for the emergency evacuation of people who are not able to use the standard exit facilities in high-rise buildings.

This standard was developed by sub-committee E06.77 on highrise buildings external evacuation devices, under the jurisdiction of ASTM International Committee E06 on performance of buildings.

Using escape systems for evacuation of occupants of highrise buildings is not a new idea. The Controlled Descent Devices and Chutes were found in USA as far back as 1982. In fact they are regarded as an essential item at a fire. They have been in use in Japan and Asia too.

There are many escape systems for use in high-rise building emergencies.

Michael J. Johansmeyer, who had researched on the subject, identified 19 types of emergency evacuation devices which are listed in Table 1. These devices can be grouped into 4 categories, viz.

• Controlled Descent Devices (CDD) • Suspended Rescue Platform Systems (SRP) • Rescue Chutes • Non-Structural Dependent Devices 3.1 Controlled Descent Devices (CDD): Controlled Descent Devices (CDDs) are escape systems that use a simple harness, cable and breaking device to control the rate of descent.

A CDD is an equipment designed to accomplish the withdrawal (emergency egress) of occupants from a building and transporting them from a dangerous area to

134 | JULY 2013 | INDUSTRIAL SAFETY REVIEW

a safe area. CDDs may be either automatic or manually operated.

One or two persons may descend simultaneously using individual harness assemblies that attach to the end of the rescue line by which persons are lowered, at a specified controlled and limited velocity, from a high position to a lower position.

Persons may use CDDs, acting by themselves or with the assistance of others. CDDs are permanently installed, usually near a window, or a balcony or near another exterior exit point that may be used for egress in an emergency. Some CDD models are capable of t r a n s p o r t i n g emergency response personnel to the upper floors of a building, to the area of the emergency.

The “Spider” is designated for multi self-rescue from high-rise buildings. (See Fig: 2) It can be permanently installed on the floor or on a wall and is always ready for immediate use.

Fig: 2 - A typical view of a Spider rescue from a high-rise building.

The occupant puts on a harness, attaches him or herself to the descent cable, and then exits the building. The device automatically controls the descent at a safe velocity.

A redundant friction brake provides additional safety.

The “Doublexit” device is

installed on the customized entrance door of an apartment/office. (See Fig: 3)

Fig: 3 - A typical view of a Doublexit device is installed on the customized entrance door of an apartment/office. Courtesy: Jonathan (Yoni) Shimshoni The evacuation mechanism is hidden in the door cavity, and an automatic descent system is used to control the descent of an evacuee at a fixed speed.

The evacuee descends wearing a harness connected to a steel fiber reinforced cable of appropriate length. He or she exits the building through a window or balcony; after one evacuee reaches the ground, another evacuee can exit the building and descend immediately in the same way.

CDDs enjoy a number of advantages: • They are simple, affordable and compact; • They are suitable as a personal or family solution; • They can be easily installed in any high-rise home or office; • They do not require any power www.ind-safety.com

source; and • They are always available for immediate use by trained occupants.

3.2 Suspended Rescue Platform System (SRP): A suspended rescue platform system is defined as an enclosed platform (cabin) or set of enclosed platforms, moving along guides or other means, on the exterior of a building, intended for the evacuation of multiple occupants from a building.

The SRP can be of a permanent type, installed on the building, often in a location obscure from view (e.g., on the roof of the building), or a mobile type, brought to the building by responding emergency personnel in time of need.

An Escape Rescue System is a building-wide system composed of two or more devices; each is an array of five collapsible cabins. (See Fig: 4) The system is permanently stored on the roof in a folded position. Upon deployment, each array is lowered to the ground. It then unfolds, enabling emergency responders to board the cabins.

The SRP then travels upward until it stops opposite five upper

floors simultaneously; enabling 150 occupants to enter through specially configured exit windows.

Thus, two arrays will evacuate 300 people simultaneously. Each array is then lowered to the ground and the evacuees exit as it refolds.

The system repeats this cycle, transporting responders up and into the building and evacuating tenants as required.

The Platform-based systems enjoy a number of prominent advantages: • They are effective for all building heights; • They require no special skill or unfamiliar actions by evacuees; • They are “systemic” (buildingwide) solutions; • They are suitable for all ages and physical conditions of evacuees, including disabled people.

• They have the ability to transport emergency responders and their equipment up and into the scene; • They enable rescue personnel to control the evacuation process; and • They can evacuate many occupants with each rescue cycle.

3.3 Rescue Chutes:

Fig: 4 - Typical views of a SRP deployed in a High-Rise Building, Courtesy: Escape Rescue Systems

136 | JULY 2013 | INDUSTRIAL SAFETY REVIEW

Chutes are rescue escape system that provide a vertical tube of material that controls the rate of descent by friction of one’s body against the side of the tube.

An escape chute is a cylindrical or trough-shaped device, typically made of fire-resistant fabric or netting. (See Fig: 5) The set-up of the slide can be either outward sloping or vertical, and each chute solution has its own design to control the descent speed of the evacuee.

The sloping solution is usually attached to, and serves, a specific floor, while the vertical solution may have the ability to enable evacuation from a number of floors through the same chute.

This advanced modular evacuation system is triggered by a fire alarm; then the chute unfolds automatically from the structure.

The user enters the chute through automatic doors and slides down, landing on a cushioned landing pad. Acceleration during descent is controlled through a series of steps, which occur every five floors.

The chute device can be of a permanent type, installed in a hidden place inside (or on) the building, connected to a specific exterior access point, or of a mobile configuration that can be moved to different evacuation locations in an incident. Chutes may also be configured on vehicles, and brought to the building by responders in an emergency. (See Fig: 6) Escape chutes enjoy a number of advantages, such as: • They are quick and easy to deploy; • They can protect evacuees from fire, smoke and heat, while moving them quickly away from the building; • They can transport a continuous flow of evacuees; www.ind-safety.com

TECH UPDATE

• They require little or no instruction for use; • They require little physical exertion in sliding down the chutes; and • They are suitable for injured, disabled, elderly or even unconscious persons.

3.4 Non-Structural Dependent Devices: They are escape system that do not require contact points with the building or the ground during descent. These can be best described as parachute and process for escape in similar to base jumping.

In the event that a fire occurs in a high-rise building, the only way to ensure the complete safety of all its occupants by conducting a full scale evacuation. However, the primary evacuation systems present in most high-rise building today are inadequate. The primary methods of evacuation in high-rise buildings today fail to provide occupants with a timely, safe, and effective egress.

The primary evacuation system found in today’s high-rise building is their design flaws. Elevators are typically grouped in convenient central location on all floors. It is this layout that makes them vulnerable to compromise.

Many a times occupants would be forced to negotiate the stairway down to the floor below or subsequent floors below in order to gain access via a clear elevator / lift lobby, assuming that the elevators are even operational.

However, relaying on building’s stairways to provide occupants with a safe method of egress is dangerous, due to stack effect.

Even in buildings that are compartmentalized to contain the spread of smoke and fire, the stairwells can quickly become the most dangerous place for occupants to be.

A lift evacuation strategy can prevent major problems in traditional evacuation design including smoke spread in lift shafts, water spillage and fire hazard to occupants in lobbies.

For the proposed lift evacuation strategy, occupants can choose to travel down to the street level by using shuttle lifts or stairs.

Both stairs and lifts are allowed to evacuate occupants from the refuge floors, and lifts would be the primary means in evacuation.

Refuge floors are provided in this strategy as a temporary place of safety for occupants to take a rest and wait for the evacuation lifts during the emergency evacuation.

Lift evacuation strategy is more effective in evacuating a large number of occupants at the early stage of evacuation. Lift evacuation is dependent on a number of variables such as building height, stair width, occupant distribution and number.

All the rescue devices referred in this article should be used as a last resort only. The intent of these devices is to give an alternative means of escape, not a primary one.

may be responsible for determining the safest and the most efficient means of evacuation, depending on the nature of the emergency and scope of damage.

Evacuation strategies often need to be determined within moments, depending on the nature of the emergency. These challenges are often become more complicated during the evacuation of high-rise or super high-rise buildings.

FLIR thermal imaging cameras & Aimetis Symphony™ analytics software for improved & cost saving perimeter protection

Solarpack is a multinational integrated management company focusing on electricity generation projects in the field of solar photovoltaic energy and is specialized in the development, financing, construction, operation and management of these projects. Controlling a large area where high valuable equipment is deployed all over the site, is not an easy task and it usually requires investing a great amount of money to keep the facility well protected. For one of the most important solar plants in the West of Spain, Solarpack is now protecting its perimeter of 41 acres with an intelligent analytics solution of Valencia based company CCTV CENTER, combining FLIR thermal imaging cameras and Aimetis Symphony™ powerful analytics software.

Business challenge

Solarpack is continuously investigating new security solutions to have a pragmatic security system to protect its installations, considering the complexity that involves a solar plant. In this project, the challenge was saving investment costs and maintenance costs, as well as improving the security system towards a more effective and reliable solution, offering automatic notification of alerts and events. Quick search and review of video images was also an essential requirement. A number of tests made with other security systems lead Solarpack to determine that thermal imaging cameras were the best solution and, specially, FLIR thermal imaging cameras. It was then when Solar Pack contacted CCTV CENTER, FLIR’s official distributor and integrator in Spain.

CCTV CENTER’s presented a solution combining FLIR thermal imaging camera and Aimetis Symphony analytics software. Aimetis Symphony is award-winning intelligent video surveillance software that offers a single, innovative, open IP video platform for video management, video analytics, system integration and alarm management.

The superior quality images from the FLIR thermal imaging cameras together with Aimetis Symphony analytics were a really great solution for the whole system.

The end user had a previous experience in projects with thermal imaging cameras and a good image quality was always a main

requirement.

Due to the high contrast of their images, thermal imaging cameras are specially recommended for analytics and perimeter applications.

Thermal imaging cameras can detect a human target at a distance of up to 2,000 m and produce clear and crisp images in total darkness, light fog and rain where color CCTV cameras can’t. Thermal imaging cameras provide an ideal solution for 24/7 surveillance, saving costs in IR illuminators or any other additional illumination system.

FLIR F-series

Thermal imaging cameras for Security & Surveillance applications

F-Series thermal security cameras let you see intruders & other threats to your facility clearly in total darkness & in bad weather. Fully enabled for control & operation over digital and analog networks, F-Series thermal imaging cameras are available in 160 × 120 pixels, 320 × 240 pixels, & high-resolution 640 × 480 pixels formats, providing up to sixteen times the image clarity & longer threat detection range performance than lower resolution cameras.

140 | JULY 2013 | INDUSTRIAL SAFETY REVIEW

imaging cameras with a resolution of 320x240 pixels are installed on 2 to 3 meter high poles, alongside a wired fence. The F-series are fully enabled for control and operation over digital and analog networks.

The F-Series provide high contrast imagery optimized to get the most out of video analytics software.

Digital Detail Enhancement ensures clear, properly contrasted thermal images in all weather conditions.

The thermal imaging cameras are working together with an intruder detection system, both connected to a CSA (Central Station Alarm). All the thermal imaging cameras are integrated with Aimetis Symphony software so they can be controlled from a server PC placed at a remote workstation. “Integrating the FLIR F-Series cameras with Aimetis software was a great solution”, says Pablo Campos from CCTV CENTER, in charge of this project. “We used FLIR thermal imaging cameras before with Aimetis Symphony and the FLIR F-Series are included in the list of compatible devices. Once calibrated, analytics performance is outstanding.”

Target detection

Aimetis Symphony software is configuredwith a virtual fence, so when an intruder crosses the virtual line, determined by the operator, an alarm is triggered. The alarm is then sent to the CSA, where the operator receives the signal. The operator then connects with Aimetis Symphony client and checks the video stream associated to verify if it’s a false alarm or a real threat.

The system can make distinction between humans and animals. When the system identifies the target as a human, it will start

tracking the target. The software doesn’t trigger any alarm unless the target crosses the virtual line configured by the operator. When the system identifies a target as an animal or unknown object, it will not send an alarm at all, even when an animal crosses the virtual fence. This is because “animals” are considered as authorized intruders in the system. The high quality of the thermal imaging cameras and the reliability of the analytics makes it possible to make this distinction, resulting in a drastically drop in the number of false alarms.

Cost savings

Before the new installation 10 to 15 security guards were hired to protect the premises. Now there are no security guards patrolling or controlling the access to the solar park anymore. Everything can now be managed from a remote workstation by only one or two operators.

“The new installation is saving a lot of money and is far more effective than having a team of security guards viewing daylight cameras that can’t display images at night or in bad weather conditions. Furthermore, the use of thermal imaging technology saves costs of deploying and keeping an illuminating system running. Also not a lot of electricity is consumed, using thermal imaging cameras instead of other solutions, and maintenance costs are low as well”, concludes Pablo Campos.
