Hikvision's Effective Security Surveillance in High Rise Buildings Provides Safety - Prevents Crime - Protects Properties

By Mr. Ashish P Dhakan, Managing Director & CEO, Prama Hikvision (India) Pvt. Ltd.

A high rise building is a sitting duck for the terrorists. In the aftermath of September 11, 2001 in New York and November 26, 2008 in Mumbai authorities in high-rise buildings are beefing up their surveillance systems to prevent any untoward incident in their premises. The installation of surveillance cameras acts as an effective safeguard and deterrent to protect people and property inside and around a high rise building. Surveillance is not only about cameras but also devices that monitor the entry and exit of individuals, detect an unexpected presence using motion detectors, and identify the potential threat from fire and smoke. They all complement an effective surveillance system. The surveillance solutions must be simple in operations, non-intrusive and highly integrated. Video Surveillance Video surveillance is essential to protect occupant safety from virtually any threat. Designers of high rise buildings, rely on an expert security surveillance company to develop systems that monitor unauthorized intrusions or provide early warning in case of fire, smoke or gas leak outbreak. During incidents that require occupant evacuation, an effective surveillance system can facilitate orderly evacuation and ensure all occupants have safely exited. A design that strategically places the right surveillance equipment or device throughout the building will provide a complete system to detect all threats inside and outside the building. Objectives The key objectives of installing Hikvision's surveillance cameras in a high rise building are: • To provide safety and security to the people • To prevent crime • To reduce the fear of crime • To improve property security • To safeguard women, children & senior citizens • To create a safe & vibrant atmosphere

Mumbai Police Wants to Avoid Face-Off between Cops and Traffic Offenders; Brings in 'Evidence-Based' Policing issued by the Regional Transport Office and not any other papers of the offender to avoid confrontation, another senior officer said.

Technical Support + 91 99134 55973

MUMBAI: The Mumbai Traffic Police is working to set up an 'evidence-based' policing system to prevent arguments between policemen and road rule offenders. The city's traffic police department has already installed CCTVs at most of the vital spots, introduced e-challan and launched a mobile application for commuters to register their complaints and seek help."The aim is the avoid confrontation between the traffic rule offender and the policeman. Whatever is the violation, it is presented with an evidence. This lessens the chances of argument and dispute," Joint Commissioner of Police (Traffic), Milind Bharambe said. He said after a traffic rule offender is identified, an SMS is sent on his mobile phone. The road rule violation by a person along with the date and time are also captured on the camera, thereby reducing the chances of a dispute. Mr. Bharambe said they are also trying to have a cashless mode of payment of fine."Whatever is the fine, it can be paid by the offender through his debit or credit card," he said. The officer said the department had earlier started the concept of traffic wardens who have proved to be of great help. "Today, there are over 400 traffic wardens on the city roads. They cannot issue a ticket but can definitely regulate the traffic. They are doing a wonderful job and are definitely of great assistance to us," Mr. Bharambe said. Going a step further, the traffic police department has also asked its officials to check only the documents

Demonetisation Triggers Happiness as Crime Rate Falls February this year, almost 50% less compared to January-February 2016, when 203 offences were registered. Police said pickpocketing cases too fell from 54 to 19 in that period in 2016-17. An officer said it was because there was a cash shortage and increase in cashless transactions. The only offence that demonetisation did not impact was rape: 151 offences were registered in 2016-17 and 147 in 2015-16 in that period, officials said.

MUMBAI: Opposition parties may have criticized Prime Minister Narendra Modi's decision on demonetisation, but security agencies are happy as the crime rate has gone down. Mumbai witnessed a 20-25% fall in crime in the last three months, compared to figures in 2015-16 in that same period. Police had analysed crime postdemonetisation, taking into account figures from November 8, 2016, till January 31, 2017, and compared it with figures of November 2015January 31, 2016. While there were 50 murder cases registered between that period in 2015-16, only 35 were registered in 2016-17; that period in 2015-16 witnessed 47 attempts to murder, compared to 39 in 2016-17. Robberies also reduced from 195 to 160, and chain-snatching cases fell drastically from 213 to 53. Several youths got unemployed due to demonetisation and there was a "financial crisis" but chainsnatching cases were fewer, probably due to the greater presence of policemen on roads and awareness, officials said. Crime branch officials said the impact was also felt on the underworld. The anti-extortion cell of the city police said calls fell from 69 to 28. "Out of the 28 extortionrelated calls, except for five to six, all were from petty criminals or foot soldiers using their mentors' names to threaten businessmen," said a crime branch official. Officials added that in December 2016, there were almost zero extortion calls as criminals were confused what to demand, and whether to accept old denomination notes of Rs500 and Rs1,000 which were banned. It was only after January that there were few calls. The same was the case with the Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB). There were only 126 cases of corruption between January-

Wearing Eye Protection can Prevent 90 Percent of Work-Related Eye Injuries, Experts Suggest. chemical splashes and welding light. When selecting safety goggles, look for goggles with ample airflow, little fogging and maximum splash protection. 3. Face shields: Face shields help protect workers from high-impact, chemical and blood borne hazards. Select face shields that are tinted or have a metal coating for heat protection. Be aware that you should still wear safety glasses or goggles underneath a face shield, as the curve of it can direct chemicals and particles into the eyes. Every day in the India, roughly 2,000 workers experience an eye injury serious enough to require medical attention, according. Although the majority of these injuries involve small particles striking or abrading the eye, some are far more serious and result in permanent blindness. However, eye injuries are preventable if proper personal protective equipment is worn correctly and consistently.

4. Full-face piece respirators: This is the best form of eye protection from smoke, dust and chemical. However, note that these types of respirators do not seal completely over regular or safety glasses. If you need to wear a full-face piece respirator and glasses, ensure you obtain prescription inserts that are compatible with a respirator and approved for use with your specific respirator. 5. Welding eye protection (including helmets, goggles, face shields and respirators): Welding can expose workers to light that can seriously burn the eyes. Workers should always wear safety goggles or glasses underneath welding helmets or face shields for additional protection. Ensure workers near welding operations wear appropriate eye protection as well.

A worker's eyes can be damaged in a variety of ways. Causes of workrelated eye injuries include: • Getting particles in the eye due to grinding, sanding and hammering. • Being splashed during chemical handling. • Being exposed to arc flashes when welding. • Working in dusty conditions. • Walking through a work zone without wearing PPE.

Five main types of eye protection and recommends that workers consider the hazards that are present before selecting which type to wear: 1. General safety glasses (including hybrid safety glasses or goggles): This type of eye protection is ideal for general work that exposes workers to dust and flying particles. Ensure safety glasses feature anti-fogging capabilities and side protection. For added protection, wear safety glasses that have foam or rubber around the lenses to help keep particles out.

Fadnavis Announces Draft Policy for Defence Manufacturing, Eyes $5 Bn Investment The highlight of the draft is creation of a fund of Rs1,000 crore to support defence manufacturers, especially the medium and small manufacturing enterprises economic fundamentals, existing defence establishments and knowledge pool" according to Fadnavis. The policy aimed at creating 1 lakh jobs, he added. Parrikar said one of the factors that would help Maharashtra get investment commitments in defence sector was that "The law and order in Maharashtra was good". "Maharashtra has got a good knowledge base. There is enough talent in places like Pune, Nashik, Aurangabad where defence establishments are located," Parrikar said. Maharashtra has 11 ordnance factories.

Devendra Fadnavis says the policy aims at creating 1 lakh jobs

Mumbai: Maharashtra government announced a draft of defence and aerospace manufacturing policy to attract investment of $5 billion over a period of five years. The highlight of the policy is creation of a fund of Rs1,000 crore to support defence manufacturers, especially the medium and small manufacturing enterprises. Chief minister Devendra Fadnavis said Maharashtra was the first state to declare such a policy that would be finalised after incorporating suggestions made by the industry and the defence ministry. Defence minister Manohar Parrikar who was present said the fund being created to supplement defence manufacturers "Would be a Game Changer." Maharashtra's industry department held a seminar with domestic and global defence manufacturers to fine tune the policy and put in place measures to develop an "Ecosystem that helped global as well as domestic defence companies leverage Maharashtra's strong

The policy offers incentives and flexibility to manufactures. Fadnavis said he would not like to spell out the inventive. Asked about the concerns and issues the defence manufacturers had raised, the chief minister said the industry expected a flexible policy framework and the status of an essential services industry given the safety and security aspects exclusive to the industry. The industry also wants ease of doing business which the policy supports, he said. He said the fund was being created to provide small and medium defence manufacturers who "May not have the same financial capacities as the giant companies". "Defence is a special industry where manufacturers do not get much fiscal space as compared to their counterparts in other sectors. Getting long-term finance is difficult for defence manufacturers as compared to others. So we are creating this fund so that it helps these manufacturers get the critical fiscal space. After all it is the MSMEs in defence sector who make the ecosystem. They can leverage this fund to enter the sector," Fadnavis said. Maharashtra government's Maharashtra Industrial Development Corporation is talking to SBI Capital and IDBI to set up this fund, he said. Parrikar said the fund addressed a key problem in the defence manufacturing sector, that of initial availability of small finance. "In the defence sector, since the government is the only buyer, suppliers and manufacturers have to fulfil certain conditions before payment can be made out to them. In many cases especially involving small manufacturers, problem comes if they have to deposit upfront even a small amount with the government. The manufacturer feels his money will get stuck. This fund would be useful in solving such payment chain problems," Parrikar said.

Systems Thinking for Hazardous Energy Control Most companies and most countries have lockout tag out rules and procedures to ensure equipment is made safe prior to servicing and maintenance tasks. Even when workers are perfect, execution of imperfect procedures can still result in 'accidents' - this is why it is so important to verify a zero energy state prior to beginning work on equipment. Lockout tagout verification is one very important safeguard, but there is more to a successful hazardous energy control program.

There's normally a problem when production equipment isn't running. Skilled production workers are taught the importance of keeping the line running. It is no wonder that equipment is mistakenly restarted hundreds of times each year with deadly consequences for unseen employees who were within the unlit inner workings of equipment.

Companies must strive to reduce the amount of work performed under lockout protections. Companies must strive to reduce unplanned, reactive, and "emergency" servicing and maintenance tasks. Companies must make lockout and tagout compliance easy, because it's human nature to do what's easiest (including taking risky shortcuts when the safe way isn't the easiest way). While training should happen in the classroom, learning should never end so companies need to ensure that procedure inspections and incident investigations are being leveraged to raise lockout tagout awareness. Companies cannot wash their hands of employee misconduct (the behavior we are getting is what the environment supports). Supervisors and managers can shape an environment supporting safe choices and discouraging unsafe ones. Companies must consider environmental influences before blaming, shaming, retraining, firing or suspending workers for lockout tagout violations.

Online Safety: How to keep Children Safe on Facebook, Instant Messaging Apps and other Online Dangers Keeping children safe online presents a real challenge for parents today. Whether you're worried about what they might see on YouTube or who they might speak to on Facebook, we have the best tips for security settings as well as ground rules that can help you protect kids from the nasty side of the internet. They've grown up with the internet and have no concept of what life was like without it. They're completely at home with technology: using a mouse or touchscreen to navigate is as much a life skill as learning to read and write. In fact, children tend to learn to use a touchscreen way before they can read or write, using colours, images and symbols instead of words to navigate around apps and websites in order to get to a video or game they like.

Here's how to keep your children safe online Much of the internet is a fabulous resource for kids, whether it's Wikipedia for helping with homework, online games, social networks, videos, music and more. However, there are an equal number of websites that you wouldn't want them going anywhere near. One of the greatest challenges facing parents these days is how to ensure that their children remain safe online. With so many kids now having tablets, smartphones, or PCs of their own, it's increasingly difficult to know what content they access and who they're meeting on the web. See also: Best parental control software 2017. A recent study by the Oxford Internet Institute (OII) at Oxford University revealed that of 515 interviewed 12- to 15-year-old children, 14 percent had a 'negative' online experience in the past year, 8 percent had been contacted by strangers, almost 4 percent had seen someone pretend to be them online, 2 percent has seen sexual content that made them feel uncomfortable, and three percent had seen something that scared them. A huge majority (90 percent) of the children's parents either did not know what parental filters were or they were not using them, and the children of those who

were using them were at risk of viewing the wrong sort of information - the filters could be returning damaging false positives that could make them more vulnerable or ill-informed than before they read the information. The OII suggests that rather than parental filters, which it says should be turned off as early as possible, we need to properly educate children. Future research into keeping kids safe online should "Look carefully at the long-term value of filters and see whether they protect young people at a wider range of ages". At the end of the day, whether you choose to go down the route of parental controls or better education without the rose-tinted glasses is really up to you. In this article we'll explain what are the dangers and point out ways you can protect your kids from them. Much of our advice is common sense, but in addition there are some settings you can make to limit the content and apps available on a phone, tablet or PC.

Whatever the age of your kids, it's important to keep them safe when browsing websites, using social networking services such as Facebook, and chatting with friends using instant messaging programs. Although your children may know more about using a laptop, tablet and the internet than you do, it's your responsibility to ensure they're protected from the parts of the web that present a danger to them. The dangers (see below) may sound bad, but the good news is that you can prevent most of them happening without too much time, effort or money. Common sense plays a bigger part than you might think. For a start, we'd recommend not allowing children to use a device - laptop, tablet or phone - in their own room. Asking them to use it in a communal area should discourage most inappropriate activities as it will be obvious what they're up to even if you only glance in their direction. The most important thing to do is to talk to each child and explain (in a way appropriate to their age) the dangers that the internet could pose to them, and why they can't use their devices in their room. Also, encourage them to tell you whenever they see anything that makes them uncomfortable or upsets them, or simply isn't what they expected. You can delete inappropriate websites from your


Article browser's history, and add the site's address to a parental control filter list (we'll come to this in a minute). Also encourage them to tell you if they receive any threatening or frightening messages or emails - you can add the sender's address to most email programs' blocked list. You should also make it plain what is acceptable and what isn't acceptable online. That's something only you can decide, but you can't expect your kids to know they're doing something wrong if you haven't set any boundaries. You might, for example, tell your child that they're not allowed to download apps or files without your permission first, nor share a file with anyone without your consent. You could also set rules about whether they can use any instant messaging services, tell them not to reply to unsolicited emails or sign up for free accounts without you first checking that it's ok. How to keep kids safe online: The dangers Online gaming risks While much of the media focus tends to revolve around the problems children can encounter on social media sites such as Snapchat, Facebook, and Instagram (all of which require account holders to be at least thirteen years old) recent research from security experts Kaspersky labs has found that online gaming is now a real source of concern. In a study of 11-16 yr olds, Kaspersky discovered that 38 percent of children had encountered people pretending to be someone else on gaming platforms, while 23 percent had been asked personal or suspicious personal questions while online.

If you feel your child is ignoring warnings, or actively seeking out the wrong sites, then you can remove their internet privileges, or move them back into the centre of the house where you can observe their behaviour. While some software does allow you to monitor the internet activity of your children, we feel it would be best to tell them in advance that you are using these techniques. It could be quite damaging to the trust of a child to find out that you were secretly spying on their every conversation. Again, and we really can't stress this strongly enough, talk to your children rather than rely on a software solution. With all that being said, here are some ways in which you can use settings and applications to help you protect your young family. How to make YouTube and Facebook safer for kids Two of the most popular websites for kids are YouTube and Facebook. Facebook is something of a mixed bag when it comes to content. There are no obvious filters that can restrict explicit content, although the friends you follow obviously have a great effect on the kind of material that appears in your newsfeed. You can block individual users and apps in the settings options, but that's about the extent of your controls. It's worth remembering that the minimum age requirement of a Facebook account is thirteen years old, so it's not really intended to be entirely childfriendly. Many of the family security software packages available now often include social media features, so if your child is a regular Facebook user then it would be worth investigating some of these.

Setting boundaries

YouTube is another huge draw for younger users, especially due to the huge amount of music videos on the site. Google does provide a safe mode option, and once applied it covers any instance of YouTube that logs in with the same account. On your PC all you need to do is navigate to the YouTube site, scroll to the bottom of the page, and click on the 'Safety' box. Here you'll see an explanation of how it works, and the restrictions it applies. To set the safe mode up on a tablet is slightly different.

In the end, you are still the parent, and

On Android devices launch the YouTube

Perhaps the most worrying statistic though was that 20 percent of the children interviewed said that they trusted the gaming platform so much that they would see no problem meeting contacts from it in real life. This is compounded by the fact that nearly a third of the children in the study said that their parents had no idea who they talked to when they played games online.

app, then tap of the three dots in the top right hand corner. This opens the settings menu, where you'll need to choose Search and then tap on the Safesearch option. If you have an iPad or iPhone launch the app and you'll see the cog icon in the top left next to the account name. Tap on this and then select the Safesearch option. It's not foolproof of course, but it will at least limit the amount of unsuitable material that might otherwise get through.

Online safety: Microsoft Family Security in Windows 10 Back in Windows 8 Microsoft introduced family security settings. These allowed parents to create children's accounts, restrict the type of content they could access, as well as set time limits for when the young ones could use the devices. These still exist in Windows 10 and offer a good starting point for securing your PC. Creating a Child account in Windows To set up a child account you'll first need to open the Settings menu and select Accounts. In the left-hand column of the next screen you'll find the option for Family & other people. Select this and then click Add a family member.

The pop-up box that appears has two options - Add a child, and Add an adult - select the first option and then click on the blue link labelled 'The person who I want to add doesn't have an email address'. Add Money The Add money feature is quite clever in that it allows parents to put credit into the child's account that they can then spend in the Windows store on games, apps, music, TV, movies, or devices. Essentially it's a gift voucher applied to the account, so there's no way for the child to incur additional expenses on your credit card. Screen Time

You'll now be asked to create an email address for your young charge, so enter the details into the relevant fields, click Next, then you'll also need to add a phone number for security purposes. The next screen is pretty bizarre, as it wants permission to serve targeted ads to your child. While this might be a wonderful idea for Microsoft, we recommend unticking both boxes before you click Next so the account doesn't fill up with entreatments for Minecraft, Xboxes, and any other spamming ephemera.

Another useful setting is Screen Time. As the name suggests, this is simply a way to control how long your child can use the PC on any given day. Once you've turned on the Set limits for when my child can use devices option you'll be able to click on the grid below to set certain times each day that the account will allow access. The granular method means you can adjust it so that they have more, or less, time on the weekends, and what hour of the evening they have to stop in the week.

To view these settings go to account.microsoft.com/family, or simply return to the Settings>Accounts>Family & other users, where you should find the new account. The last part of the setup is to click on the account and then click the Allow button which appears. This will activate the account and mean that your child can log into Windows using the new ID.

In a recent study conducted by Nominet, the UK's internet infrastructure specialists, is was revealed that, on average, parents share nearly 1500 pictures of their child by the time the little one reaches its fifth birthday. This becomes more of an issue when it was also discovered that

When pictures are shared online it's possible that they are not private, and even if they are there is of course the real chance that they could be reposted and shared by friends whose privacy settings might not be as rigid as your own. Once an image is online there is little chance that it ever truly disappears, so bear in mind that your child's image becomes essentially public the moment you post it to social media.

Article accounts on the Chrome browser. These are linked to your full Google account, but allow you to set limits for the websites they can visit, as well as keeping a log of their online habits. If you share an Android tablet then a similar feature is Restricted User accounts. These are easy to set up via the Settings>User menu options, and give the administrator (you) the ability to select which apps the account can access, plus blocking any purchases or even the app store itself. It isn't a completely satisfactory solution though, as content settings are still available within YouTube and Chrome, so explicit material could still sneak through. In many ways it's more a feature to stop your children running up bills through in-app purchases, or installing random apps on your device.

While there exists many tweaks and features within browsers and software that can make your internet access more secure, one almost fool proof step you can take is to actually go to the source itself - the router. That little box with all the flashing lights is your gateway to the web, and it's actually possible to use special apps such as Familyshield by Open DNS to directly filter all the content that emanates from its glowing heart. We have a guide showing you how to install Familyshield, but before you rush over there it's worth noting that this is a unilateral setting - meaning there is very little in the way of granular adjustments. You choose from either High, Moderate, or Low filters, but this applies to everybody on the network, not just your children. There are ways around this, as seen in the guide, but they can be somewhat complicated. It's not just Familyshield that suffers from this broad-brush approach. Many Internet Service Providers, such as Sky, BT, and Virgin, offer family security filters, but once again these are blanket apps across all content, reducing the internet to a children's version for everyone. We have seen improvement recently though, with offerings such as Sky's Broadband Shieldallowing you to set time limits, so access is opened up after a watershed time when the kids are in bed. Obviously the advantage of this approach is that all devices connecting to your home Wi-Fi will have the same restrictions, Zso you don't need to go around setting up each tablet or PC. Remember though, this doesn't apply to 3G or 4G signals on mobile phones, or any other Wi-Fi connections that are in range and don't have passwords.

With Android 5.0 (Lollipop) Google has created the option to create separate profiles on an Android phone. While this can be useful in short bursts, as you can disable phone calls and SMS messaging, it's not really suitable for children as such, due to the fact that you can't limit the things they can access online. See our step-by-step guide to enabling restricted user profiles on Android Lollipop Parental controls on an iPhone and iPad To access this feature go to Settings on your iPhone or iPad and scroll down until you find Restrictions (which should currently be Off).

Best parental control software: User settings If the nuclear approach of router-based solutions feels too restrictive or cumbersome, then you can work on an individual device level. Depending on the operating system you're running, the approaches are slightly different. On both of Google's platforms - Chrome and Android - you are able to set up different User Profiles so that a number of people can share the same device, but not the security levels. If your children have their own Google accounts, then these profiles are independent from one another and therefore harder to control, as the settings are always available to the user. For younger children, the answer is to create Supervised User

After selecting this you will see a menu of the available options. At the top is Enable Restrictions, tap this to access these settings.

You'll be prompted to create a passcode for the Restrictions. This will ensure that your children don't simply go to Settings and disable your choices.

Online safety: Conclusion The job of a parent has been made a little more challenging by the internet, of that there is no doubt. While we've gathered together as much helpful information as possible in this feature, and there are some fine tools available, in truth none of them are a guarantee that your child will be safe online. That's not to say that they won't help, but as we stated at the beginning, they must only be used in conjunction with your own presence and on going engagement with your children to be fully effective. Combining many of the features together though, will at least limit the potential of unsavory material appearing before their young eyes. Ensure that the various Safe Modes are enabled on search engines, add restricted profiles if possible, and if you're happy to pay the money then invest in one of the safety suites we mentioned above. This will get you a good way along the road to security. But remember to take time out to talk with your young ones about how they use the web, what they like, and what their friends are into. It could just be the very best way to protect them. In a recent study conducted by Nominet, the UK's internet infrastructure specialists, is was revealed that, on average, parents share nearly 1500 pictures of their child by the time the little one reaches its fifth birthday. This becomes more of an issue when it was also discovered that 85% of parents hadn't checked their privacy settings in over a year, while only 10% were even confident of knowing how to do so. When pictures are shared online it's possible that they are not private, and even if they are there is of course the real chance that they could be reposted and shared by friends whose privacy settings might not be as rigid as your own.

Now you can select the options that you feel are appropriate to your child, remembering to look at the section covering Allowed Content, as here you can limit explicit songs and TV shows from iTunes.

Once an image is online there is little chance that it ever truly disappears, so bear in mind that your child's image becomes essentially public the moment you post it to social media. It might not seem a big issue now, but it's worth remembering before you press Send.
