Now, prevent Fire before it spreads!

After successfully introducing path-breaking products like Aquaguard & Euroclean, Eureka Forbes now brings in Fireguard - a unique, patented space age, lightweight and handy fire extinguisher that works on all kinds of domestic fires.

I

n a recent report “India Risk Survey 2013” by Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FICCI), it has been stated that building-fires are the most common among fire disasters. Unnecessary accumulation of combustible or inflammable articles or hazardous material adds to the danger of fire. Lack of water or equipment for fire-fighting allows fire to spread fiercely. Often, people have little knowledge to prevent such accidents and as such, are vulnerable to losses during these accidents.

Since cars carry a lot of highly inflammable substances like gasoline and oil they are susceptible to fire. Vehicular fires can also be caused by electrical short circuits, overheating of exhaust systems, engine malfunction etc. Leakage in fuel tanks can also result in disastrous fire accidents.

A lot of these fires can be avoided if timely action

is taken and the fire is doused before it spirals out of control. But conventional fire extinguishers are hardly useful when it comes to tackling fire.

Eureka Forbes, India’s leading consumer durables company for 32 years, that has in the past brought solutions that have become market leaders in each of the categories ahead of their time viz. Aquaguard Water Purifiers, Euroclean Vacuum Cleaners, Euroair Air Purifiers and EuroVigil Electronic Security Solutions, has launched Fireguard, portable Fire Extinguishers.

It’s an extremely lightweight and easy-to-use fire extinguisher that works on all kinds of fires (A, B, C, E and F). With space-age technologyand manufactured in Italy, Fireguard is non-pressurized, absolutely safe and environment-friendly. And it is so portable that you can keep it in your car with you and use it as and when required.

Key features of Fireguard: • Controls all kinds of fire such as fire from gas, electrical circuits, flammable liquids, oil, solid combustibles etc.

(A,B,C,E and F) • Lightweight (approx.250 gm.) and easy to use • Non-pressurized, leaves no residue and biodegradable : environment-friendly • Zero maintenance, as it does not require refilling • Carries the highest European Quality certifications like ISO 9001:2008; RINA, Italian Naval Register (Italy); BAM ¬ Federal Institute for Materials Research and Testing (Germany); EMERCOM, Russian Federation Ministry for Civil Defence (Russia); Swiss TS Technical Service AG, Safety and Environmental Technology (Switzerland) • Approved by all major fire departments across various cities of India (including Mumbai and Delhi fire departments)

Lighter, brighter, longer-life : New generation of robust fluorescent lights for hazardous areas

R

. STAHL’s new line of light fittings for use in Ex zone 1/21 and 2/22 hazardous areas achieves better energy efficiency than comparable devices & provide approximately 10% more luminous flux. New EXLUX 6001 luminaires also feature a design that is considerably more compact, stable, and torsion-resistant than their EXLUX 6000 predecessors.

While more than one million of the long-proven EXLUX 6000 lights have been deployed worldwide over the last twenty-odd years, the new generation now meets increasing user

demand for a similarly economic, yet enhanced product with improved technical features reflecting the most current state of the art. Depending on their performance class, the 6001 luminaires are a quarter to

a third lighter than their predecessor models and many competing products. Users now also benefit from the extremely robust design of these slimmer, narrower units: unlike most lights, the new devices can

be operated at extremely low ambient temperatures (as low as -30 °C).

In many cases, this amounts to a decisive extension of the application range that saves costs by making extra specifications unnecessary.

In order to facilitate a stepby-step exchange of existing EXLUX pendants, the installation of the new units remains fully compatible to the predecessor series. Moreover, swiftly removable replacement parts ensure quick and easy maintenance. Like before, the new lights are available with customerspecific modifications on request.

In addition, R. STAHL provides especially cost-efficient standard models with a power consumption

of 18 W, 36 W, or 58 W that are available at short notice.

Featuring 4 mm² cage clamp terminals, 5-core throughwiring, and a full-phase safety shutdown, these models are adequately equipped for the majority of all typical applications.

The new series fully complies with the requirements of all current industry standards. Notably, the new silicone-based foamed gasket has been optimised for maximum durability, as stipulated by IEC 60079. This sealing solution, which is resistant to various chemicals as well as UV radiation, the fitting’s hinge, and a newly designed central lock reliably ensure IP66/IP67 protection

over many years.

6001 series lights are available as of now. However, more products are due to follow in the new EXLUX generation: in the near future, the program will be extended both by optional accessories, such as pole mount adapters, and by additional models such as emergency lights, lights with an address module, and models with T5 fluorescent lamps for use in zone 2/22. Moreover, LED lights from R. STAHL will also be available soon, though these will be based on a completely different housing & equipped with materials and features optimised for LED technology.

Remote I/Os for hazardous areas ace endurance tests in tough conditions

hile other remote I/O solutions on the market usually have a one-year warranty, R. STAHL has voluntarily extended the warranty for its robust hazardous area IS1+ system to three years – without any extra charge. The explosion protection expert takes this step in the wake of extremely successful lab trials as well as very positive experiences garnered from extensive practical tests. Even under very rugged conditions and strained to the limit of their resilience, e.g. in continuous operation at temperatures up to +90 °C and exposed to repeated temperature changes from -40 to +95 °C, IS1+ modules proved virtually indestructible: no defects or failures occurred.

Due to a new low power design for the modules that ensures minimal power loss and effective heat dissipation via the housing, IS1+ allows for an extended ambient temperature specification covering a wide range from 40 to +75 °C. This also means that the modules will reach

8 | MARCH 2014 | INDUSTRIAL SAFETY REVIEW

an extraordinary lifespan of up to 15 years in applications with more moderate conditions. In addition, since the modules’ power consumption has been reduced by up to 50%, energy costs for the operation of process plants are decreased as well.

IS1+ offers outstanding functions and features, such as mixed modules with I/O parameterisation as well as diagnoses and maintenance alerts according to the NAMUR NE107 scheme. The versatile Remote I/O system supports hot work & hot

swapping, which makes it very costefficient: thanks to its consistently intrinsically safe structure with an intrinsically safe fieldbus based on either PROFIBUS DP or an Industrial Ethernet implementation with Modbus TCP, EtherNet/IP, or PROFINET, the system can be easily extended or reconfigured in hazardous areas. In addition to international explosion protection certificates for all major and medium-sized markets, IS1+ also features several shipbuilding approvals, which makes the system suitable for virtually universal use worldwide. Offering more than 30 years of experience in the systems business and know-how regarding all standard automation systems as well as corresponding bus protocols, R. STAHL is capable of customising IS1+ setups to user requirements and delivering turnkey solutions.

R. STAHL’s very robust Remote I/O system IS1+ now offers a warranty that has been extended to three years

British Safety Council announces winners of 2014 International Safety Awards

T

he British Safety Council has announced the winners of its 2014 International Safety Awards, which recognise and honour the achievements of winning organisations in keeping their workplaces and workers healthy and safe during the 2013 calendar year. This year, 521 organisations of all sizes and sectors from around the world won an International Safety Award, including businesses from the UK, Africa, Asia, Australia, the Middle East and the West Indies. Forty-six organisations were awarded a distinction, 333 organisations were awarded a merit and 142 organisations achieved a pass.

Congratulating the winners, Alex Botha, the British Safety Council’s chief executive, said: “2014 marks the 56th year of the International Safety Awards, which celebrate those organisations that have shown a real dedication and commitment to preventing injury and ill health in the workplace.

“The success criteria for these awards is challenging and that rightly reflects the importance of achieving high standards of health and safety at work. It was also clear from the applications that the winning organisations recognise that getting health and safety right is a business enabler, which brings both financial

and social benefits for organisations and their people.”

He added: “Our vision is that no one should be injured, made ill or killed by work activity, anywhere in the world, so it’s heartening to see that winners of the 2014 awards are truly international: from Kuwait Oil Company to Reliance Industries in India; Indorama Eleme Petrochemicals in Nigeria to Wessex Water in the UK. “Winners are drawn from a broad range of sectors dealing with different risks – from the transport and distribution sector, with winners such as DHL Supply Chain North West and Glasgow Airport; to the oil and gas sector, with winners including Bahrain National Gas Company, Indian Oil Corporation and Offshore Design Engineering Ltd. The construction and civil engineering industries are also well represented with many winners including Brookfield Multiplex Europe, ISG, J. Murphy and Sons, Kier and Willmott Dixon. “Our warmest congratulations to all of the winners.

“I look forward to celebrating the success of the award winning organisations at our Gala Dinner at London’s Grosvenor House Hotel on Friday 25 April. I also look forward to the announcement of the winners of the individual awards for Health and Safety Champion and Young Health and Safety Champion on the night.”

The event is attended by hundreds of companies and individuals from the UK and overseas, and combines formal award presentations with a fine dining experience and an evening of fabulous live entertainment and dancing. The keynote speaker at this year’s ceremony is Kevin Myers, acting chief executive of the the Health and Safety Executive, the UK’s main occupational health and safety regulator.

Mr. Botha added: “The International Safety Awards Gala Dinner is one of the health and safety world’s most prestigious events, and is a great way to reward your employees, contractors and business partners for their hard work in helping to keep your workforce and workplace healthy and safe.

“It also an ideal opportunity to promote and publicise your health and safety achievements by inviting clients, customers, contractors and business partners to celebrate with you on the night, and provides excellent networking opportunities with hundreds of safety-conscious organisations and individuals. “I invite any organisation or individual in the UK and internationally committed to protecting the health, safety and welfare of workers to join us on the night to celebrate the social and business benefits of good health and safety management.”

British Safety Council marks world cancer day by urging employers to implement sensible controls to manage workplace carcinogen exposure The British Safety Council is supporting the aims of World Cancer Day (4 February 2014), which forms part of the wider campaign to significantly reduce premature deaths from cancer and improve the quality of life for cancer sufferers and cancer survival rates. Research has shown that occupational cancer remains a key health issue. The risks from exposure to carcinogens in the workplace can be minimised through proportionate, effective risk management.

T

he Health and Safety Executive (HSE) estimates that past occupational exposure to carcinogens currently accounts for 1 in 20 cancer deaths in Great Britain.

HSE also estimates that 8,000 of 13,000 deaths each year from workrelated diseases are attributable to cancer. Research has further highlighted that the construction sector accounts for just under half of the estimated cases of occupational cancer in Great Britain.

The British Safety Council urges all businesses and employers to be alert to the hazards that carcinogens pose and put in place the measures necessary to prevent exposure. Leading occupational cancer expert Dr Lesley Rushton of Imperial College London, said: “Thinking about the new generation, it’s very hard to say to the workforce it’s too late because of course it isn’t. We know for example if you stop smoking your risk of smokingrelated disease goes down, so it’s not too late to help prevent some of these diseases.”

Neal Stone, policy and communications director at the British Safety Council, said: “We are committed to continue our

16 | MARCH 2014 | INDUSTRIAL SAFETY REVIEW

work with our construction sector members, who account for one-fifth of our membership, to build greater awareness of the risks posed by carcinogens and most importantly share our knowledge to prevent future exposure. We are working to ensure our members are kept up to date with research in this area to assist them in devising effective intervention strategies.”

Neal added: “More broadly, the British Safety Council promotes the principle of good leadership in health and safety to ensure that occupational health remains as much in the corporate mindset as much as safety. We will continue to play our part in disseminating information to businesses to help them develop their knowledge in general or specific to their sectors, through our sector interest groups and our regular publications as Safety Management. We will continue to make the case concerning the social and business benefits that proportionate and sensible health and safety interventions deliver.”

Mr. Kamal from Tech Zone expressed, “One of our clients wanted to install analog solutions at different parts of Kolhapur. At the same time, the customer wanted the solution which should never get affected with power fluctuations which is quite prevalent in this region. When we got introduced with QUADRA technology at Secutech, we had an answer to the customer requirement. We have successfully done the installation at sensitive sites. In addition, these cameras are built with Surge Protection feature that not only prevents equipment loss but also the potential loss of critical footage. These cameras will safely function under electrical surges even in case of short circuits and lightening. Our customer is contented with the quality of CP PLUS QUADRA cameras”.

Earlier, I had installed surveillance solution at the factory to monitor day-to-day activity. However, most of the cameras got malfunctioned during peak summer season as cameras were unable to cope up with high temperature inside as well as outside the camera.

I am thankful to CP PLUS QUADRA technology that has heatless design feature, enabling cameras to operate without getting heated up till a defined temperature. Now, I am getting round-the-clock surveillance in all the seasons”.

Mr. Aman Rohtagi from Security Ideas stated, “I recently installed 50 nos of CP PLUS Quadra cameras at the parking of an apartment, located in Mumbai.

ID Global®, a worldwide leader in secure identity solutions, today announced the acquisition of Lumidigm®, a global leader in authentication solutions that use multispectral imaging technology, software, and biometric fingerprint sensors to authenticate identities with a high degree of certainty. The acquisition extends HID Global’s authentication portfolio while positioning the company to deliver a variety of new secure identity solutions.

“Lumidigm’s proven product portfolio will enhance our current strong authentication offerings, especially for healthcare, financial institutions and other highsecurity environments,” said HID Global President and CEO Denis Hébert. “The company has unique technology protected by a large patent portfolio and proprietary algorithms and has achieved strong penetration in key emerging markets including South America and Africa.

Additionally, Lumidigm has a premier global customer base across multiple strategically important markets. We are extremely pleased to have Lumidigm’s talented team join the HID Global family.”

Lumidigm’s technology solves problems with traditional biometric technology, whose contact-based measurement accuracy is degraded by non-ideal skin condition, poorlydefined or damaged fingerprints, and adverse environmental conditions.

In contrast, multispectral imaging technology uses multiple

light spectrums and advanced polarization techniques to extract unique fingerprint characteristics from both the surface and subsurface of the skin. This additional data enables multispectral imaging-based solutions to deliver the highestquality fingerprint image and to more effectively discriminate real from imposter or “spoof” fingerprints.

“This acquisition will enable Lumidigm to take advantage of HID Global’s size, channel and product development strengths to exploit a variety of important new market opportunities,” said Bob Harbour, Executive Chairman of Lumidigm and Chairman and President of the International Biometrics &Identification Association.

“As part of HID Global, Lumidigm can expand its current business while also extending proven technology beyond finger- and handbased applications into iris, facial and other smart imaging systems.

The combined company will also have the opportunity to apply multispectral imaging capabilities to credential acquisition and authentication, gesture recognition, and other image-based process control systems, making multifactor authentication on a single, integrated device a reality.” Imperial Capital, LLC served as the exclusive financial advisor to Lumidigm in this transaction.

threat intelligence, enterprises need to strengthen their security posture to defend their organizations. “Advanced attack techniques and collaboration in the criminal market place is fuelling an increased rate of costly security breaches in APJ,” said Jyoti Prakash, country director - HP ESP (India & SAARC countries) “Crowd-sourced threat intelligence from our vast community of customers, partners and researchers is essential in this battle against cybercrime. By sharing actionable intelligence through our solutions, expertise and best practices, organizations can more effectively address the new threat environment.”

Intelligence sharing and collaboration are key Security organizations must mirror the adversary’s approach, and share intelligence to formulate the most current and complete picture of emerging threats. HP’s new offerings bring together solutions and services to help the industry share intelligence and build a united defense against adversaries. HP Threat Central, developed with HP Labs, provides a collaborative security intelligence platform that enables community members to share threat data and analysis, providing real-time intelligence on adversaries, attack vectors, methods and motivations behind current threats.

The platform is now strengthened with the introduction of the HP Threat Central Partner Network, a collaboration of security vendors sharing threat intelligence across the industry to combat adversaries.

HP is initially working with partners including Arbor Networks, Blue Coat Systems, InQuest, ThreatGRID, TrendMicro and Wapack Labs, to deliver strategic threat intelligence and actionable indicators to the HP

38 | MARCH 2014 | INDUSTRIAL SAFETY REVIEW

Threat Central community.

In addition to intelligence shared by community members and partners, HP Security Research and HP Enterprise Security Services will contribute intelligence feeds to the HP Threat Central platform. The platform also will power the HP ArcSight and HP TippingPoint portfolios, providing seamless integration for automated threat download and upload from HP ArcSight Enterprise Security Management (ESM) and automated action (blocking) of malicious IP addresses in the HP TippingPoint Next Generation Intrusion Prevention System (NGIPS) and HP TippingPoint Next Generation Firewall (NGFW) devices.

HP Targeted Threat Intelligence, enhanced by HP Threat Central, collects, collates and analyzes structured and unstructured data from social media, hacker forums and other traditional log data sources to provide organizations a more holistic view of the threat landscape.

“Chief information security officers (CISOs) and other senior-level security professionals must be able to plan not only for threats that exist now, but also for those that may emerge in as much as three years’ time or beyond,” wrote Rob McMillian, research director, and Kelly Kavanagh, principal research analyst, Gartner. They go on to write, “Assessing current and potential future threats requires advanced threat intelligence that most organizations are not capable of developing costeffectively in-house.”(2)

Banding together across the industry To strengthen defenses across the threat landscape, HP is partnering with other vendors and introducing new offerings that expand access to security technology integrations,

address open source vulnerabilities and support the use of standardsbased solutions.

• Enabling integration with leading security companies to provide an advanced layer of protection, HP introduces the HP TippingPoint Advanced Threat application programming interface (API). Offered via the HP TippingPoint Security Management System (SMS), the HP TippingPoint Advanced Threat API provides access to HP Threat Central and advanced threat appliance solutions by delivering inline blocking at wire speed with HP TippingPoint NGIPS and HP TippingPoint NGFW devices. To support the API, HP introduces the HP TippingPoint Advanced Threat API Program, welcoming partners including Blue Coat Systems, Damballa, Lastline and TrendMicro to decrease the proliferation of advanced malware within enterprise networks.

• With the rapid adoption of opensource software, the HP Fortify Open Review Project provides an in-depth source of security intelligence to both identify and report on security vulnerabilities in widely used open-source software components. Additionally, with the integration of Sonatype’s component life cycle management (CLM) analysis technology, HP Fortify on Demand customers can identify third-party and open-source software components, detect known vulnerabilities or license risk, and prioritize remediation.

• HP Enterprise Secure Key Manager (ESKM) 4.0 unifies and automates an organization’s encryption controls by securely creating, protecting, serving, controlling & auditing access to encryption keys.

Hikvision battles low light with DarkFighter camera DS-2CD6026FHWD 2MP network camera provides color images down to 0.002 lux

H

ikvision is setting new standards for ultralow-light surveillance with the launch of the DS-2CD6026FHWD DarkFighter network camera. This cutting-edge camera utilizes Hikvision’s industryleading, ultra low-light MP lens and is designed specifically to capture sharp color & monochrome images in extreme, low-light conditions. The result is crystal-clear color images down to 0.002 Lux and B/W to 0.0002 Lux. The DarkFighter’ sultralowlight performance delivers full color images day and night that would defeat conventional monochrome IP cameras and competing lowlight cameras. As well as opening up new opportunities for 24-hour CCTV surveillance, it is the ideal replacement for conventional network cameras.

Superior Image Delivery The DarkFighter camera features a two-megapixel, 1/2 inch progressive scan CMOS image sensor.

Together with a 120dB WDR (wide dynamic range) and Hikvision’s 3D DNR (Digital Noise Reduction)

technology, the new camera is able to stream video in full 1080p HD at 60 fps, which results in latency free clear images day and night. A defog feature is also incorporated to noticeably improve image clarity in poor weather conditions, such as rain or fog.

Choice of Lens A choice of wide-angle and telephoto varifocal MP lenses is available (The Hikvision HV1140D-8MPIR MP lens offers focal range 11-40mm, while HV3816D-8MPIR provides another choice of 3.8-16mm), both including IR correction, and ABF (Auto Back Focus) functionality, which allows the camera to adjust positioning of the image sensor to obtain an optimal focus.

The new camera also features an ROI codec, which enables the resolution of specific parts of an image to be increased while decreasing the non-ROI image quality to minimize bandwidth and storage requirements. With support for ONVIF, PSIA, and CGI standards, the new camera also offers quick and easy integration with other

video surveillance equipment and systems, creating the solution that matched different requirements.

HikvisionDS-2CD6026FHWD DarkFighter network camera will be on display in the upcoming exhibitions: ISC West, IFSEC South Africa and Exposec Brazil.

Customers are encouraged to stop by the official Hikvision booth to take a look and ask for more information.

The company specializes in video surveillance technology, as well as designing and manufacturing a fullline of innovative CCTV and video surveillance products. The product line ranges from cameras and DVRs to video management software.

Milestone Systems appoints country manager in Japan Erik Friis Mondorf is promoted

Mr. Erik Friis Mondorf, company’s Country Manager, Japan

M

ilestone Systems, the open platform company in IP video management software (VMS), announces the appointment of Erik Friis Mondorf as the company’s Country Manager for Japan. Erik Friis Mondorf is a permanent resident of Japan after living there for 17 years and is a certified Japanese speaker. He has supported Milestone Systems since before the Danish company’s CEO Lars Thinggaard visited Japan to inaugurate the burgeoning partnership with JVC, who launched a Network Video Recorder (NVR) pre-installed with Milestone video management software.

“With 127 million people, Japan is also one of the world’s largest markets for video surveillance equipment, in the company of China, the US, UK, Canada, Russia and Germany, according to market results for 2013. The IP video surveillance market growth in Japan is expected to be more than 20% per year over the next 3 years and we know that Erik Friis Mondorf is our man in Japan to help Milestone’s role

56 | MARCH 2014 | INDUSTRIAL SAFETY REVIEW

in that journey,” states Eric Fullerton, Chief Sales & Marketing Officer for Milestone Systems. “Longer term, the 2020 Olympic Games to be held in Tokyo may drive some big projects, too, similar to what the security industry has experienced in the UK and Brazil with high-profile events of the same stature.”

“Besides working closely with Milestone distributors and system resellers, I also have an important task supporting existing Manufacturer Alliance Partners (MAPs) such as Canon, JVC Kenwood, OPTEX, Panasonic, Sony and Toshiba Teli.

There is exciting potential to develop new MAP relationships, as well. Japan has many high-quality hardware manufacturers,” remarks Erik Friis Mondorf. “The Milestone open platform ensures that customers have the freedom to choose which hardware brands and models they want to manage with our video surveillance software, so we have very tight collaborations with the device manufacturers.”

Mondorf continues: “Milestone has a very comprehensive and versatile product range but Japanese customers often require customization. Much can be achieved using the Milestone configuration & rules functionalities in XProtect® Corporate and the free Milestone Integration Platform Software Development Kit, which enables integrations for XProtect® Express and up. In order to accommodate the very specific needs of our Japanese customers, tailoring will be a greater focus area from now on and offered either through collaboration with local partners or provided by Milestone Custom Development.”

To support Milestone’s strong commitment to the Japanese partners

and customers, the company has moved into a new office located conveniently at the Pacific Century Place in Marunouchi, Tokyo.

Mondorf’s business experience the last dozen years was honed with the Trade Council of Denmark/ Royal Danish Embassy in Tokyo as Minister Counsellor - Technology Attaché (ICT Sector Expert). He performed business opportunity identification, development and support of relations between leading Danish and Japanese ICT companies.

On behalf of such Danish clients as Milestone Systems and others, Mondorf was responsible for software and hardware sales developments in the Japanese marketplace. He helped establish subsidiaries, expanding businesses while working on intergovernmental collaboration within the science and technology sectors.

Prior to that, Mondorf was a consultant for Accenture involved in the sales, design, development and test of software systems on large telecommunication projects in Denmark, Sweden, Belgium and Israel. He was also a Sales Engineer and Communication Manager in Tokyo for The East Asiatic Company and Yamato Protec Corporation. He got his career started working in production for IBM Denmark.

Erik Friis Mondorf has a Master of Economics in Business Strategy from Shinshu University, Japan, and a Bachelor of Science in Engineering and Production Management from the Technical University of Denmark.

He also completed the International Marketing Programme at INSEAD in France.

Mexico prestigious automotive parts manufacturer Grupo GONHER enhances its security & management efficiency with VIVOTEK’s network cameras Background Grupo GONHER is a company located in the city of Monterrey, Mexico. Starting as a grassroots outfit in 1953, the manufacturer of parts grew in tandem with the automotive industry, first producing air filters and subsequently building up a more comprehensive product line throughout the latter decades.

The company has enjoyed continual growth since its establishment by staying on the cutting edge of technology and expanding their workshop to meet full production capacity. GONHER now boasts an extensive filter line – they produce over 700 different types – and they distribute their high quality products throughout 36 distribution centers across Mexico. Emerging as a major player on the North American market, and as reputable international brand, GONHER faced the need of ramping up their security surveillance system. With the help of Novalan Computers & Networking, VIVOTEK’s local distributor, they chose to upgrade the system with an impressive set of VIVOTEK cameras.

surveillance system as high in quality as their products are, which is where VIVOTEK stepped in.

Extensive distribution throughout Mexico means that comprehensive monitoring can be a difficulty for the manufacturer, and company expansion has only increased the demand for a centralized, real-time monitoring system. For GONHER to know what is going on at all locations at all times, and in real-time, installing a dynamic surveillance solution was the answer. Unwilling to compromise on security, GONHER wanted IP cameras with high quality standards in all distribution centers, and a central monitoring control center in corporate offices. To ensure top-notch feeds, a 200Mpbs internet link bandwidth was integrated into the monitoring center. With the advanced technology of VIVOTEK’s IP security system, the activity in GONHER’s distribution centers can now be conveniently viewed in real-time and recorded for playback, ensuring utmost security companywide.

Advanced technology, improved business eligibility

Image quality, mobility, and aesthetics make the surveillance outstanding and easy

GONHER was looking for a security

A total of 85 cameras were chosen

to furnish GONHER’s facilities.

Among them, the FD8161 model is a stand out. Combining strong image quality, mobility, and aesthetics, the FD8161 met the project demands on many levels. In terms of image quality, a 2-megapixel sensor feature and impressive bandwidth efficiency make for a clear, crisp picture. The model is capable of zeroing in on small details like faces or license plates, so installing this camera in open spaces mean that foot traffic and vehicles can be monitored with precision and ease. Multiple simultaneous streams also contribute to its unrivalled surveillance capabilities. As for mobility and aesthetics, the recessed design with cable management gives the camera a very clean look, and a 3-axis mechanical design lens means the FD8161 can be mounted on both ceilings and walls.

Additionally, VIVOTEK’s speed dome was installed for outdoor monitoring. Not only is the camera capable of fast, precise movements, it comes equipped with a sophisticated pan/tilt mechanism for continuous 360-degree pan and 90-degree tilt. Lens positioning is easily controlled via mouse or joystick, and the camera comes with a possible 128 preset positions for

Improper ceiling plane & sprinkler head alignment : Suspended ceilings risks explained Suspended ceilings – or false ceilings as they are sometimes referred to - are a common sight in both commercial and industrial settings across the globe. Simon Ouellette, Engineering Services Supervisor at Victaulic, the world leading manufacturer of mechanical pipe joining and fire protection systems, addresses the unique fire protection challenges they can pose, explaining the safety threats, and technological solutions.

S

uspended ceilings are frequently found in high-end hotels, auditoriums, shopping centres and a range of other commercial and industrial buildings. They are popular with engineers and architects because they offer a low-cost, easy-toinstall solution to help hide fittings such as electrical boxes and heating, ventilation and air-conditioning systems from plain sight.

Originally developed to hide the underside of the floor above and to provide sound attenuation within a room, they generally consist of grids suspended from concrete ceilings by wires and holding a variety of tiles

and light fittings.

Since their widespread adoption in the 1960s, the integration of fire protection with suspended ceilings has proved problematic, as hard piping systems have been unable to handle the full range of challenges they present. Proper sprinkler head positioning with the ceiling surface is a significant safety issue that is often overlooked.

Thanks to their innate flexible nature, from which they derive their key attributes and benefits, suspended ceilings are prone to settlement, and move after installation through the course of time – and especially in areas of seismic activity. Additionally, suspended ceilings will move if modifications are made to the building, such as the addition of extra installations, including lighting.

This ceiling creep, combined with the hard pipe systems still found in many fire protection systems, means that while suspended ceilings may move with time, the sprinklers themselves remain in a fixed position as the ceiling slides slowly away. The result is sprinkler misalignment and loss of effectiveness to combat fires.

Wire cable is used to connect a suspended ceiling to the concrete structure of the building and hard piping is similarly fixed. However, because the fixed rigid piping does not move with the ceiling plane, if the ceiling drops there is a danger

Potential hazards of hard piping with suspended ceilings, exaggerated for clarity. that a sprinkler will sit too high and be isolated from airflow in the room.

A properly installed sprinkler head needs unobstructed airflow access from the space being protected. If a sprinkler head is not properly positioned with the ceiling plane, the sprinkler will not be exposed to heat and airflow, leaving the ceiling to act as a heat deflector that potentially delays or prevents the sprinkler from activating in time to check the growth of a fire. Recent figures from the NFPA show that in the US alone, 42% of instances where sprinklers have not been effective were due to inadequate water reaching the fire. This figure could be improved by ensuring correct sprinkler head positioning.

adopted at an increasingly high rate as more and more engineers, contractors and owners become aware of their benefits.

Flexible drop technology allows a sprinkler to move with the structure so it maintains the same position relative to a suspended ceiling even when settlement occurs.

Unlike a traditional drop, which is not attached to the suspended ceiling, a flexible drop carries water from the branch line and delivers it to the sprinkler head using a specialized bracket to stabilize and attach the sprinkler head to the ceiling structure. The legs of the bracket connect the sprinkler to the cross-beams in the ceiling so that it always moves with the ceiling and stays in the correct orientation.

In the 1990s flexible drop technology made its way to the United States, and a little later to Europe, where the first applications were in clean rooms. As they became more popular, their advantages for use in other applications such as suspended ceilings grew to be more apparent. As a result, UL developed a specific standard for flexible drops,

Development of flexible drops A breakthrough solution to this problem came in the 1980s when engineers in Japan sought to cancel out the adverse effects of seismic activity on structures. With researchers looking to resolve problems caused by sections of buildings moving independently and at different rates, this led to the development and implementation of flexible hoses in place of conventional rigid pipe.

These hoses are now known as flexible drops. With a long history of development and use throughout the world, today this technology is being

Cutting machine required for hard pipe installation. known as UL 2443, Flexible Sprinkler Hose with Fittings for Fire Protection Service. Other ratings followed including FM Approvals and draft standard LPS 1261, with requirements for testing flexible drops for automatic sprinkler systems.

Companies such as Victaulic now have an established history of producing high quality flexible drops which, in addition to their safety and performance benefits, offer significant cost and labour efficiencies on installation. They are up to ten times faster to install than hard piping systems and installation is also simpler and less subject to error. For example hard piping systems require distances to be measured, pipe to be cut and threaded. Frequently human error occurs: sections can be incorrectly measured or misaligned and have to be reworked or, worse still; the installation may be completed incorrectly leading to leaks and water damage.

Flexible drop installation can be quickly learnt and the products are easier to install than hard pipe, and far more reliable than threading.

Flexible drops also present advantages for retrofits, particularly in modern high-rise buildings. Hard piping requires a cutting machine with oil to lubricate the pipe as it is being cut. Where additional sprinklers need to be installed Continue on page no.101

Latest one-piece bracket designs come preassembled, with no loose parts to drop or lose. in an existing building it is often necessary to locate the cutting machine outdoors and far removed to avoid interior soiling. In this case fitters must make numerous trips to prepare parts, which can be inconvenient and time consuming.

With flexible systems, a drop can simply be removed from its box and installed. It can be easily manipulated into position around obstacles without the need for elbows and cutting pipe to different lengths which takes time. For instance in situations where the space above a suspended ceiling is particularly in demand, this can be very useful. An example would be a hospital with piping for heating and cooling, electrical conduits and compressed gas lines running through a crowded ceiling space.

Newest iterations The latest generation of flexible

drops have built on the original designs. Braided hoses approved

by FM and UL are now available, designed to offer tighter bend radii and increased number of allowable bends, delivering extra performance; in turn making it is easier and quicker to position them in ceiling spaces correctly. Meanwhile additional improvements deliver significant and perhaps even greater benefits that make installation more efficient and help manage costs.

Earlier bracket designs consisted of four or more separate pieces – typically each leg, the centre bar and the square bar - that had to be assembled on site. When working on construction sites, in poorly-lit environments where there is little colour distinction between the concrete structures and bracket pieces, it is easy to mislay or lose a component. At best, this results in lost time on the job. At worst, if a component is lost the entire product needs to be replaced, leading to significant delays and additional costs.

The latest one-piece bracket designs overcome these problems: the bracket comes preassembled with no loose parts to drop or lose.

Centre-of-tile indicators on the bracket aid with correct positioning and increase safety. Following extensive Victaulic R&D, developments in the technology allows better integration of fire protection installation into the construction schedule.

Whereas standard brackets need to be installed after ceiling tiles are in place, some newer brackets offer installation options. Systems such as VicFlex from Victaulic are designed to install much more easily than traditional rigid piping systems whilst delivering more durable performance. They offer a convenient and safe solution, requiring fewer manhours to install, is cost effective for

maintenance and retrofit applications, and lowers shipping costs with a more compact form.

Next generation brackets, like the Victaulic Style AB1 bracket, can be installed before ceiling tiles, which facilitates easier inspection. There is no longer a need for fire protection teams to cut tiles or coordinate with ceiling tiling teams to be on site at the same time. The fire protection system can be fully inspected on completion before any tiles are installed that might otherwise obstruct the view.

Recent examples of installs include the new 103.000sqm/1,108,682 sq. feet Kings Avenue Mall, one of the largest commercial developments in Cyprus. Over 7,000 Victaulic sprinkler heads were connected to branch lines using VicFlex, minimizing installation time and maximising reliability. The system was also used in Duluth International Airport, USA, the Sinopec research facility in Chengdu, China and Nuevo Dorado International Airport in Bogota, Colombia.

Conclusions From its introduction, the suspended ceiling has come a long way and, thanks to the evolution of flexible drops and the latest bracket technology, fire protection has been able to make the journey with it. With proper sprinkler head positioning with the ceiling surface now much easier to achieve every time, safety in environments featuring suspended ceilings is greater than ever before.

In addition, technical improvements mean that not only can systems be installed safely as well as quickly, but greater management and control of all areas of cost are possible.

ost people recognize that there is a huge difference between a list of ingredients and a recipe. While the list of possible ingredients that reduce a country’s poverty is large, India and China seem to be adopting very different recipes. China decided in the 1980s– with huge but unacknowledged inspiration from the World Bank – that the best way to reduce poverty was by manufacturing goods for export. This decision not only led to a huge clustering of people (it has 174 cities with more than a million people relative to India’s 34) but also a huge clustering of skills in low-skill manufacturing (45% of its labour force works in manufacturing relative to India’s 12%).

While it’s early to conclude that India’s services and consumption model will deliver poverty reduction, it is clear that combining our economic model with a decentralized democracy will ensure that India’s geography of work and skills will be much less clustered than China. Staffing China’s export engine benefited from the relatively small transition from working on a farm to low-skill manufacturing. But companies who want to serve India’s geographically dispersed consumers will have to struggle with huge people challenges in putting together geographically dispersed sales and services workforces. Businesses focused on domestic consumption in India will soon emerge as our biggest employers; banking, insurance,

financial services, healthcare, consumer durables, consumer goods, pharmaceuticals, retail, telecom, education, engineering, and infrastructure. feasible We make the case that these domestic consumption companies, irrespective of industry, will be fishing in the same pond for talent and need to craft thoughtful and sustainable human capital strategies.

An important speed limit on growth for these companies is their ability to build national sales and service organizations that balance the impossible trinity of cost, quality and scale. Many companies seem to accept the notion of no choice but lowering standards in the selection, training, and retention of their “subfifteen thousand rupees per month” employee base. This is not only dangerous – they risk outsourcing their destiny – but wrong because many thoughtful domestic consumption companies are starting to create efficient, effective and sustainable solutions for staffing by taking a holistic view of the traditionally separate components of hiring, hygiene and productivity.

Companies that aim to build differentiated sales and service people supply chains will align their entire ecosystems to target employee productivity. But this is easier said than done; productivity is horribly difficult to measure. Companies with any real ambition to target India’s domestic consumption will have to get feet-on-ground in over 800 cities

and towns. This is impossible to do solely with internal capabilities but requires working with partners. The current skill system in the public sector delivers very uneven quality but it is hard – if not impossible – to sustain a completely employer paid training solution. The situation is further complicated by archaic labour laws and increasing divergence among states around minimum wages, shops and establishment acts, etc. So any people supply chain will have to deliver and align seven components: 1. Assessments : This implies effective binning of candidates and employees with identification of capabilities and potential.

Traditional assessments have had the predictive efficacy of palm reading or astrology but many companies are making substantial investments in functional, industry and company assessment centers that find - or imply better fits. Companies who win will also ensure that assessment is not episodic but a structured and formal process that continues through the employee lifecycle.

2. Candidate Sourcing: Companies with effective sourcing strategies for national sales and service organizations answer the difficult “what” before the obvious “how”.

Difficult questions and trade-offs include fresher’s vs. experienced, trained vs. non-trained, lineup

www.ind-safety.com

SECURITY INDUSTRY SAFETY INDUSTRY

vs. filtered, nice to have vs. must have skills, etc. The unevenness of hiring standards across line managers of the same company currently accepted in the name of “long rope” has to stop because many use this long rope to go bungee jumping. Companies need to recognize fully loaded hiring costs, diversify sources and ensure effective on-boarding and induction.

3. Training Financing: It is now clear that companies cannot afford the complete training or repair of every candidate they hire. But India’s skill crisis means most candidates need some company, industry, or functional training.

Finding creative ways to pay for this training – apprenticeships, tenure based reimbursements, government refinancing, credible certifications, etc – are important elements in finding nontraditional resources.

4. Training Delivery: Domestic consumption companies have sales and service workforces that are too dispersed to get all employees to one location without being economically stupid. But delivering this training creatively – Para-skilled trainers, satellite delivery, e-learning, etc – are crucial to cost-effectively meeting learning objectives at scale. Repair programs for new employees must be complemented by upgrade or certification programs for existing employees delivered over the same infrastructure.

5. Employee Contracts Employees – particularly those in the target group of sub-fifteen thousand salary - no longer view

www.ind-safety.com

TECH UPDATE

employment as a “mai baap” relationship that will last a lifetime but a taxicab relationship that is short and intimate. The ideal structure allows both sides to take each other a test drive.

Companies never hire people to fire them but they obviously need a judicious mix of temporary staffing, permanent hiring, apprenticeships, consulting, outsourcing, etc. to balance flexibility with continuity.

6. Salary, Benefits and Compliance Hygiene Many domestic consumption firms outsource the plumbing of salary and benefits for their sales or service force to their dealers. But wage transmission losses, compliance, benefit deduction but no deposit, etc are common and the most cited reasons for the high employee turnover. So putting hygiene like Service Level agreements, multi-modal self-service (call centre, email or web), SMS communication, etc is important infrastructure that complements the more glamorous components of the chain.

7. Performance Management Companies that do not hold their bad performers accountable punish their good performers.

But performance management infrastructure like automated attendance, sales reporting, customer feedback, etc are often viewed as important inputs into fixed and variable compensation management. But their more important application lies in increasing the learnability and self-healing abilities of supply chain components like assessment, training delivery and

financing, and sourcing.

Doing business in India requires companies to substitute for the state in many ways; generating power, providing transport, security and much else. Often this hardware has been a source of competitive advantage. But as the corporate landscape matures, companies realize that their true equity does not sit on their balance sheet but goes home every night. So, the sources of competitive advantage are shifting from hardware like machinery or distribution access –low hanging fruit that money can buy – to human capital. This creates an interesting challenge & opportunity for domestic consumption companies because India is too big and the million negotiations of democracy too slow for them to wait for public policy to fix the people supply chain.

The productive capabilities of a country are not like oil - which will run out - but like wind power which is potentially infinite. Similarly individual capabilities are not like shoe size or height – which are cannot be changed– but like muscles which can be developed by working out. This supply chain view of a country or individual capabilities is not only an optimistic view of life – a better way to live your life or build a company in our view - but also a happy congruence of doing well by doing good. In fact, the companies that win will be those that act decisively, swiftly and boldly about their staffing. If strategy is defined as the art of creating an unfair advantage – a gun in the knife fight – it is clear that companies who creatively create, configure and catalyze their people supply chains in India will create an advantage that is hard to replicate. Any takers?

tate-of-the-art video analytic systems integrate and learn from all available sensors and from any prior information about the scene, targets and expected behaviours to improve effectiveness.

Last month the following trends were discussed: • Growing Retail Applications.

104 | MARCH 2014 | INDUSTRIAL SAFETY REVIEW

Status at Parking lot • More Sophisticated and more Intelligent Analytics.

• Customized Analytics • Analytics for Special Events The other significant trends in video analytics are: • Stored Video Data for nonsecurity apps.

• Business Intelligence • Mobility • Analytics to reduce false alarms • Interoperability - Standardization

Video analytics coupled with video surveillance system enables security personnel and related agencies to receive alerts “as they happen”. This level of data sharing and interoperability helps in lowering response times. Depending on the threat, these several agencies are able to work collaboratively within the same situational awareness platform over multiple networks.

Further it raises overall situational awareness during real-time events.

Video analytics integrated with other data, or by itself, makes an impact on the enterprise’s overall bottom line. Integrating security video and video analytics into a total resource brings people at different levels and departments together and makes security more effective and efficient.

Business Intelligence Stored Video Data for NonSecurity Apps.

Video surveillance data requires a huge amount of storage space. Costs associated with this are borne entirely by the Security department and in times of budget constraints this, at times, becomes prohibitive. Security personnel find it overwhelming to monitor and review all the video data. Analytics saves time & effort and tags ‘incidents’ that need to be reviewed by the security personnel.

Further, the use of analytics makes it possible for ‘other departments’ in an enterprise to gain better information from the stored video.

Analytics enables the data to be of use to others in the enterprise. This in turn helps data storage costs to be shared.

Analytics, storage, access control databases and other security control devices provide very useful information for business intelligence. There is a marked shift in the application of security technologies. While security video will necessarily continue to be used in preventing and solving crimes, there is a growing trend for applications to help businesses save money & operate their businesses more efficiently.

For example, security video integrated with analytics can alert the Management to keep track of queues and to take appropriate action. Video data can be used to analyze traffic patterns and ‘service’ lanes can accordingly be adjusted to reduce waiting times. Such analytics offers

Advances in hand held devices, in applications and in the availability of bandwidth, has made it possible for real time access to video.

Security staff using a Web-based solution can view, review, export and share data on any browser-enabled device. It is reported that Managers that use mobile business intelligence are able to make decisions in almost one-third of the time that it takes managers who don’t use mobile business intelligence.

Mobility offers anytime, anywhere viewing for convenience, speed, sharing and more accurate response.

efficient queue management.

Not only does this improve the level of customer satisfaction it also helps the Organization to optimize duty hours for service staff.

Mobility Mobile analytics implementation puts information at the fingertips of front-line personnel – anytime, anyplace, anywhere. Managers using mobility are able to make, instant, in real-time, operational decisions that keep the organization running

smoothly. In contrast, decisionmakers that only have access to conventional ‘deskbound’ security data do not have this freedom. They are restricted in the time windows available to them to make decisions.

If these decisions are collaborative in nature or involve a chain of command, it will further slow down the entire decision-making process.

www.ind-safety.com

Analytics helps reduce false alarms Video analytics helps in reducing false alarms by providing assistance in distinguishing legitimate threats from benign activity such as blowing foliage, waves and animals on premises. With user-defined rules, pattern recognition and self-calibrating analytics that enable the system to adapt to the environment and “learn” to disregard some non-events, video analytic solutions can help filter out non-threatening activity before an alert signal is sent.

This saves cost and time associated with responding to false alarms. Besides, fewer false alarms results in an increase in confidence in the security system among the Security staff.

This finds greater application in challenging environments such as Ports and remote utility sites that are susceptible to extreme conditions.

More Standardization As video analytics evolves, so do

industry-wide standardization efforts, that better ensure reliability and interoperability among components of a total video system.

The Physical Security Interoperability Alliance (PSIA) is a global consortium of physical security providers, focused on promoting the interoperability of IP-enabled devices. This includes a specification for video analytics.

It enables video analytics to more easily and consistently integrate with video management systems and physical security software platforms through standard interfaces.

The specification defines a standard way to share video analytics capabilities supported by an intelligent device to output, receive, store and use various video analytic events. The open interface addresses event output including security alerts, counting events and analytics system health messages.

The interface also supports the streaming of object metadata output, which includes foundational analytic output regarding all objects tracked by the analytics, including object classification, bounding box data and velocities.

Open Network Video Interface Forum (ONVIF) is another leading standardization initiative for IPbased physical security products.

This too has an ONVIF Core Specification, which covers video storage devices and video analytics engines, in addition to cameras and encoders. Standards help the buyer to make decisions that can better ensure return-on-investment and smoother integration of components and software.

Tanzania’s Puma Energy thwarts thieves with Hikvision Technology

G

anesh R. Iyer, Head of Sales & Business Development at ComSec Security Systems Ltd., had a number of significant security hurdles to overcome when designing a CCTV overhaul for Puma Energy’s Head Office & Depot facility in Dar-EsSalaam, Tanzania.

This Puma Energy facility, consisting of both an office headquarters complex and a oil processing depot, is Tanzania’s largest oil refinery. Dar-Es-Salaam, the nation’s biggest and richest city, underscores the importance of the facility’s larger relevance in the region. However, installing a CCTV solution wasn’t simply a hardware issue. As Mr. Iyer explained, “Of course, combating issues such as theft, as well as safety, were paramount. However, this solution was asked to do something more: help change an unfortunate cultural norm that readily looks the other way in issues of theft.”

As such, Mr. Iyer looked to Hikvision to help: • upgrade a pre-existing and underperforming CCTV system • take into account the stark differences between the office and depot environments • design a unique, two-pronged, CCTV method for both environments • combat a larger cultural acceptance of theft that is gradually ruining the economy

IP Replaces Lagging Analog Originally, Puma Energy purchased this facility from British Petroleum With the facility, Puma Energy also acquired BP’s existing CCTV solution. However, the new owners found the previous analog system unsatisfactory.

Thus, Tanzanian-based ComSec Security Systems Ltd. was contracted to act as turnkey contractor of a new CCTV solution

to dramatically improve overall video quality. In order to meet Puma Energy’s goal of a high-quality CCTV surveillance system, Mr. Iyer opted for a completely new CCTV model: an IP system on a fiber-optical backbone communication ring with industrial-grade switches in the field.

While this IP-based infrastructure provided the means to improve the CCTV system’s performance, ultimately what would make-or-break the solution was the choice of hardware in the field. In this regard, Mr. Iyer chose Hikvision for both his camera and NVR needs.

Divergent Challenges However, as previously noted, this overall facility is actually comprised of two highly-divergent work environments. Obviously a modern office building poses a different set of security questions when compared to an outdoor petroleum refinery.

Regardless, both aspects of this facility brought unique challenges that needed to be overcome.

In the Head Office, Mr. Iyer elected to go with Hikvision’s DS-2CD2712F-I 1.3MP Vari-focal Network IR Dome Camera for his IP camera needs. In this case, Mr. Iyer decided that “flexibility was key.

We needed a camera that is able to quickly adjust its view and provide great resolution regardless of shorter or longer distances. This camera’s 2.8 - 12mm vari-focal lens gives us a great many viewing options.”

This is of particular significance Continue on page no.108

in the reception area. Previously, fixed camera lens forced logistical problems. Now, the vantage can be quickly changed from the reception desk to the main door, to illustrate but one example.

Additionally, DS-2CD2712FI’s IP66 rating and vandal-proof housing solved an earlier problem.

Mr. Iyer explained, “Previously, due to the indoor location, there have been issues where cameras were tampered with. Now, due to the sturdy nature of these new cameras, it would take a considerable amount of time to actually disable the units.

This would not go unnoticed ... hence providing a great camera for access control and safety issues.”

Staying indoors, Hikvision’s DS-7732NI-SP 32 Channel NVR provides the means to record all these HD camera video images. Located in a centralized control room, the DS-7732NI-SP provides 32 channels for the Head Office. Currently, not every channel is needed, which also supplies an additional futureproofing aspect for later needs.

However, of current importance is the DS-7732NI-SP’s 4 SATA HDD interface of up-to 4TB each providing the means for Puma Energy’s 3 to 4 week video-storage requirement; while the up-to 5MP

108 | MARCH 2014 | INDUSTRIAL SAFETY REVIEW

recording resolution ensures the pictures will be of the highest quality, regardless of when viewed.

Moving outdoors and into the large refinery facility, is the DS2DF1-718 IR Speed Dome. Taking advantage of a 36x optical zoom and a 16x digital zoom, the DS-2DF1-718 proves a perfect tool for perimeter security. In fact, even adjoining facilities can now be clearly seen.

Notably, “With this camera’s up-to 80m IR range and 36x zoom, we get excellent coverage in the evening ... a time when most issues of theft historically occur,” explained Mr. Iyer.

Also placed throughout the refinery, the DS-2CD2612F-I 1.3MP Vari-focal IR Bullet Camera helps secure the environment. Mr. Iyer notes that due to the oscillating lighting challenges, this camera’s upto 30m IR range and true day / night feature is paramount. Additionally, Digital WDR has proved an important function to compensate for the difficult bright and dim background lighting changes that the outdoor refinery experiences daily.

However, as with indoors, the DS-2CD2612F-I’s 1.3 megapixel high resolution is vital to provide the sought-after resolution upgrade.

For the refinery, the DS-9664NIXT 64 Channel NVR was chosen for its robust storage combined with 160 mbs bitrate and up-to 5MP recording resolution for improved image clarity.

Slowly Changing a Culture Mr. Iyer stresses that all of these tools help to ultimately combat the biggest threat to both Puma Energy and Tanzania’s overall economy: the acceptance of a culture of debilitating theft.

Mr. Iyer noted that it isn’t an issue of petty or grand theft, instead it is the idea that theft is okay that ultimately does the most damage.

“The reality is, in Tanzania, the best recourse is a high-quality reactive CCTV solution. Of course, given unlimited funds, a proactive solution with both technology and liberal manpower would be great, but this is unrealistic. However, with our new Hikvision CCTV solution featuring greatly-enhanced resolution, thieves now understand that they will be ultimately caught. We have already seen noted improvement in this area,” he summed up.
