Training Next-Generation Cyber Warriors with

Advanced Cyber RangesBy Don ShinOrganizations worldwide face a dangerous shortage of cyber warriors who possess the skills required to defend against cyber terrorism. A pragmatic and sus-tainable new approach is urgently needed to prepare cyber warriors to defend critical infrastructures.

From Curfew to Modern U.S. Fire SafetyBy Jane EmburyWe tend to think of fi re safety as something relatively new, but fi re regulation has been an issue for much longer, dating back to William the Conqueror in the 11th century. Sadly, tragic fi res have shaped fi re and building regulations, in the United States and around the world. It’s a process that’s been dubbed “codify-ing by catastrophe”. However, as numerous fi res have since demonstrated, providing and enforcing adequate escape routes still remains an issue.

Ugly Among UsChild traffi cking is a dirty business. I think

we all know it happens but we don’t give it a second thought, unless it happens in your

family. Texas is a hub for international human traf-fi cking because of its many busy interstate highways, international airports, countless bus stations and shipping commerce through the Gulf of Mexico.

The shared border with Mexico is North Ameri-ca’s number one supply site for young children used in sex and labor traffi cking.

Houston, the fourth largest city in the United States, has one of the largest international com-munities in this country. Interstate Highway 10 runs through Houston, which the Department of Justice has designated as the number one route for human traffi cking. The borders in Texas are porous and are the biggest point of illegal entry into the US because traffi ckers are able to get aliens across the border without documentation.

There are many unseemly things in life, but this is ugly among us.

Traffi cking in Texas fl ourishes because of three main factors: proximity, demographics and the large immigrant labor force. This is not just about Texas; in the last quarter of 2007, 30 percent of the calls re-ceived by the National Human Traffi cking Hotline were out of the Lone Star State, and 25 percent of all international victims certifi ed by the Department of Health and Human Services were in Texas.

Traffi ck911 is a team of passionate people driven to stop the sale of American children into sexual slav-ery. This team began its work in the inner city of Fort Worth, Texas, and is committed to helping traffi cking victims reclaim their lives.

Human traffi cking is modern-day slavery. Sadly, there are more slaves today than at any point in his-tory. In fact, there are twice as many slaves now than during the trans-Atlantic slave trade. It is the fastest-growing crime in the world, where perpetrators make $32 billion a year buying and selling people for profi t and their pleasure. The profi ts are huge and the risk of being prosecuted, slim. The United Nations says that 99 percent of victims are never rescued.

Why is Texas such a hotspot? Domestic hu-man traffi cking can hide quite well in the city, especially Houston, Dallas and Austin, where there are numerous runaway and “throwaway” youth. Hous-ton and Dallas have about 6,000 runaways annually. According to National Incidence Studies of Missing, Abducted, Runaway and Throwaway Children, an estimated one of every three children that run away are lured into sex traffi cking within 48 hours of leaving home. Sadder than this, many runaways are as young as 12 or 13 years of age.

These youngsters congregate at bus stations, which have become a major recruiting ground for prostitu-

tion. It is estimated that one in fi ve girls and one in 10 boys in the United States are sexually exploited before they reach adulthood. Texas also has numerous sexu-ally oriented businesses, including strip clubs, mas-sage parlors and modeling studios. Sadly, many of them are located along inter and intra-state highways. And, because there are many professional and promi-nent college sports teams and events in the state, there is a great demand for the commercial sex industry, and traffi ckers want to meet the demand.

The stories are sad and demeaning to a young per-son, who is bought and sold, forced into sexual slav-ery. While it is true that there are children who are at higher risk for becoming a victim, such as runaways and throwaways, all American children are at risk. Gangs and the Mexican Cartels are sending recruiters into Texas schools to fi nd unwilling victims. Children are kidnapped. People they know are selling them and threatening their families if they tell. Sometimes their own families sell them.

The story is told of one little girl, who fi nally told her captor just to kill her—she couldn’t do it anymore. The pimp refused, telling her that he makes too much money off her. If she wouldn’t do what he told her to, he would kidnap her 8-year-old sister and pour bat-tery acid over her face while she watched. The little girl complied, living in a dog cage when she wasn’t being sold to man after man.

A lack of awareness in our country, coupled with the explosion of the Internet makes the job of the pimp and the recruiter easy and the job of law en-forcement extremely diffi cult. The scope of this hor-rifi c crime seems impossible, but each person can make a difference by teaching their own children about the traps and traffi ckers and knowing the red fl ags to watch for in other children.

Very concerned about this heinous activity, the FBI conducted a raid on July 29 in which 105 children were rescued from forced prostitution. Raids were conduct-ed in 76 American cities. More than 150 people were arrested. Forty-seven FBI divisions took part.

Most of the rescues and arrests occurred in San Francisco, where 12 juveniles were saved and 17 ar-rests made; Detroit, 10 youth, 17 arrests; and Milwau-kee, 10 rescues.

“This operation serves as a reminder that these abhorrent crimes can happen anywhere and that the FBI remains committed to stopping this cycle of vic-timization,” said Ron Hosko, assistant director of the FBI’s criminal investigation division.

This rescue is likely only a drop in the bucket, but it certainly is an important start to rescuing children who deserve to enjoy the innocence of childhood.

Hospitals are centers of healing and wellness that serve as a destination for those who have suffered injury or violence, causing people to possibly take safety and security for granted. However, recent surveys show a steady in-

crease in assaults and violent acts over the past several years. According to the Census of Fatal Occupational Injuries

(CFO), there was a 23 percent increase in reported attacks and assaults from 2010 to 2011. The census also reports that patient and visiting family violence has increased by nearly 34 percent over the same timeframe. Additionally, each year, there are nearly 3,000 assaults on hospital staff alone, with many more going unreported.

The sad truth is that many hospitals and healthcare facili-ties are seeing a fast-growing need for increased security.

Security BudgetDespite this established demand, hospital security departments around the country have seen little to no change in their bud-gets and have been forced to fi nd creative solutions to enhance security.

Many hospitals have identifi ed security communications as a key, under-developed component of their overall security plan. During emergencies, patients, staff and visitors some-times fi nd it diffi cult to get in touch with emergency services in a timely manner. A faster response time can lead to a safer environment, decreasing the chances of a situation getting out of control.

Acting within the limitations of budgetary constraints, many hospitals have installed blue-light, emergency phones throughout their campuses. While security staff is limit-ed to patrolling only one or two areas at a time, emergency phones act as a force multiplier, allowing dispatchers to quickly send patrols and staff to targeted areas in need of immediate assistance.

Availability of Emergency Assistance In order to prevent crime and violence in medical cen-ters, it is critical to combat the misconception that emergency assistance is instantly available anywhere and everywhere.

The widespread use of cell phones and the avail-ability of Internet access has convinced some that they can always get an emergency response when needed. However, the reality is that there are ev-eryday situations that separate a caller from im-mediate contact with others, such as the loss of cell

phone reception, a dead battery and not knowing a specifi c phone number or the exact location. Besides,

an unexpected situation can occur at any moment, and the ability to contact others, especially during an emer-

gency, can be harder than expected.

It is situations like this that concern Adam Adcock of Caro-linas HealthCare System.

Adcock is a systems engineer and project manager for the healthcare system’s physical security department who wanted to address these communication concerns with an easy and reli-able solution. With the help of Stan Black and Alan Weeks of SAF Technologies, Adam and his team installed 16 of Talk-A-Phone’s blue-light, emergency phones across several parking decks at the Carolinas HealthCare System-NorthEast Hospital, a 457-bed, acute-care hospital in Concord, NC.

With more than 4,200 employees and thousands of patients at risk, an improvement to the facility’s communication capa-bilities was needed.

“We wanted to install a solution which we knew would op-erate without error, each and every time,” Adcock said. “We also appreciated the easy maintenance and high availability of replacement parts when required.”

Operating an Emergency PhoneThe blue-light, emergency phones are coupled with LED, blue-light assembly. When activated, the blue light grabs the attention of nearby individuals, notifying them of an urgent situation, while simultaneously acting as a beacon for offi cers

Finding a Creative SolutionHospital improves communications as part of security planBy Samuel Shanes

and security staff responding to the call. Placement of emergency phones and their active blue lights deter crime because the lights create a visible bor-der and “safe zones” that patrons and criminals both know will quickly mus-ter a response from security.

The emergency phones provide a di-rect line of communication to the hos-pital’s security department. Because an emergency situation may be hectic, it isn’t always a given that a person will have a phone or the phone number to security. For some, the use of their hands may be needed to help others, or in more dire situations, for self-defense.

One benefi t of the blue light emer-gency phone is that once activated, it automatically dials the hospital’s secu-rity dispatch center.

“Our telecom team programs ring down lines specifi c for each station, in-cluding a location-specifi c caller ID,” Adcock said. “Once a button is pushed, our security communications center re-ceives the call, gathers information and dispatches an appropriate offi cer re-sponse. We encourage our patients and staff to use the stations for anything, from a need for assistance to true emer-gency situations.”

To activate a phone, a user simply presses the bright red “Emergency” button on the front of the unit, and a dispatcher or security person will an-swer the phone and start assisting the person in need.

Integrating with Emergency PhonesAt many other hospitals and similar facilities, upgrading emergency phones means entirely replacing existing devic-es and updating infrastructure, often at great expense. Fortunately for Adcock and his colleagues, the blue-light emer-gency phones are capable of integrating with a variety of other security devices, allowing the units to be upgraded and downgraded over a long period of time.

Recently, each blue-light emergency phone has been integrated with camer-as to provide surveillance before, during and after activation. During activation, the security dispatch controller can as-sess a situation via the camera and relay extremely valuable and detailed infor-mation to responders and patrons.

For example, a dispatcher may identify, through a unit’s camera, that a person is hostile, so the dispatcher could then tell responders to use cau-tion when arriving on scene. Another example could be a dispatcher in-

structing responders to bring extra equipment to a scene, so there is no lag time between arrivals and getting the needed equipment.

Ultimately, the cameras allow for greater fl exibility and an improved response because dispatchers and re-sponders can react to activations more effi ciently, and patrons can get an im-

proved response to their emergency.“Stations are easy-to-use and pro-

gram,” Adcock said. “Operation is fl awless, and we’re happy with its prov-en reliability.”

The emergency phones have been at the hospital for nearly 10 years. In order to maintain and operate these phones, the hospital’s security staff

tests each station at the beginning of every month. While most of the emer-gency phone stations are deployed in parking decks and lots, others are de-ployed inside hospital stairwells to pro-vide an alternative area of refuge.

As the hospital’s facilities continue to grow, so does the presence of emer-gency phones.

BEHIND THE BARS Texas Department of Criminal Justice investing big in IP video

By Jessica L. Clark

In today’s economy, it can be diffi cult for correctional facilities to obtain the funding needed to upgrade their security technologies. However, a series of high visibility incidents in Texas in 2008 cast a bright light on the benefi ts of video surveillance and the critical need to maintain high-performing sys-tems. Now, the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ) has made a

true commitment to invest in state-of-the-art IP-based video surveillance technol-ogy for security enhancements in prisons.

In 2008, a death row prisoner managed to obtain a cell phone, an item strictly forbidden to inmates. He used the phone to make threatening phone calls to Texas State Sen. John Whitmire, chair of the Texas Senate committee on Criminal Jus-tice, as well as to a reporter for the Austin American-Statesman, a daily newspaper in Austin. After working with offi cials to catch the prisoner using the phone, Whit-mire helped facilitate availability of state funding to install security systems to help

prisons deal more effectively with the issue of contraband. There are 111 prisons in Texas, housing about 150,000 offenders. While many

facilities have camera systems, more advanced new video surveillance systems have been installed in four prisons so far—the Allan B. Polunsky Unit in Livingston; the Mark W. Stiles Unit in Beaumont; the Darrington Unit in Rosharon; and the McConnell Unit in Beeville. New systems are in the process of being installed at the Connally Unit in Kenedy, and the Coffi eld Unit in Tennessee Colony, the state’s largest prison encompassing 20,000 acres and housing more than 4,000 of-fenders. Additional new video surveillance systems may be rolled out in the next fi ve to 10 years in other Texas prisons, contingent upon funding. Video systems also are being planned for the 20 state jails.

“Video surveillance is not a new concept in the correctional environment, but technological advances offer opportunities that cannot be ignored to further en-

hance security, increase staff and offender safety and combat contraband,” said Brad Livingston, TDCJ ex-ecutive director. “In my opinion, the comprehensive video surveillance system in use at several TDCJ fa-cilities represents an effective application of the latest technologies and is making a signifi cant contribution to security and safety.”

Sigma Surveillance (STS), Plano, Texas, is de-signing and installing the new systems from end to end and has also installed a full network infrastruc-ture as the prisons are not wired for any networked technology. Fiber-optic cable was installed to ev-ery building on the installations so far, as well as to every perimeter post and the guard towers.

The new IP-based systems use the Ocularis soft-ware system by OnSSI, together with more than 4,600 Panasonic network cameras systemwide, to capture detailed video of everything within the prison walls, making it available to wardens and other prison staff. Wardens are now accustomed to using the system as part of their everyday routine and have captured vid-eo of assaults on staff and offenders, as well as other incidents. The systems allow them to give accolades to prison staff members who are captured on video making smart decisions.

The cameras have been used to investigate contra-band such as drugs, cell phones and money drops in-side the prison. The system provides evidence to cor-roborate the incidents and have been used to prove cases in criminal and administrative proceedings.

Simplifi ed interfaces do not take a lot of space on the monitor screen, and the staff appreciates the search features, especially the motion searches. On playback, prison staff can use the “little blue box,” a feature that enables them to designate a specifi c area on the screen and identify on playback when there is motion within that area. The cameras deployed con-sist mostly of vandal-resistant fi xed domes. The most recent installation at the McConnell Unit uses all-HD cameras, as will future installations. High-quality vid-eo available in virtually any lighting condition delivers clear and continuous coverage of activities within the prison system.

SYSTEMS INSTALLED IN FIRST THREE PRISONSAllan B. Polunsky Unit is a 472-acre maximum-se-curity prison that houses about 2,900 offenders at a range of custody levels including maximum security and Death Row. Originally designed to house 2,250 offenders, the Polunsky unit has been expanded with the addition of dormitories. The prison encompasses a total of 19 buildings, including a medical and edu-cation facility with a standard library and a legal li-brary, a supply warehouse, four general population chow halls, one offi cers’ dining room, a laundry room, an administration building, a maintenance building, a vocational facility, two gyms that also are used as chapels, a tree farm and a dog kennel. Security for the Polunsky Unit includes video coverage of every building and every walkway, as well as the perimeter. Aiphone video intercoms are installed on the premis-es to provide effi cient and easy communications with

the correctional staff.Richard Alford, senior warden at Polunsky, has

used the video system to monitor and critique his staff ’s response to unit emergencies.

“You get a minute-to-minute response to suicide attempts and things of that nature,” Alford said.

Such incidents require an administrative review, and the video provides a valuable tool. Alford also says the system helps to quickly dismiss false offender complaints without merit—the video can easily verify if complaints are unfounded.

Another prison whose video system has been up-graded is Stiles, which also was originally designed to accommodate 2,250 offenders and now has additional dorms to serve a current occupancy around 2,900. Stiles has about 20 buildings, including a separate chapel.

The Darrington Unit is an old high-security prison, built in 1930. It is made up of a single build-ing—in contrast to the multiple buildings and campus setting of the other units. Darrington houses about 2,000 offenders and uses about 490 cameras.

The advanced video system provides an advantage for prison wardens to help reduce incidents of con-traband, gang activity and other challenges unique to a prison environment, while increasing productivity and safety.

“When you have a camera and have an incident, you see what’s happening,” said Brenda Chaney, former senior warden at the Darrington Unit, who recently retired. “Without the video you have to do more ques-tioning and investigative measures to fi nd out what occurred. There are times when you can’t get to the bottom of what occurred (without a camera). If there’s a fi ght, you want to know who was involved? When security comes, they spread out, but with a camera you would see who’s involved. With a camera, you’ve got them.”

The fourth unit, with installation now complete, is the McConnell Unit, which is similar in design to Polunsky, Stiles and the Connally units.


“Maintaining a secure perimeter around a facility can be a challenge when public access is required. For this to be done effectively, the fl ow of vehicles and personnel enter-ing and leaving the facility needs to be controlled. Appropriate and thorough search procedures should

look for unauthorized entry/exit by personnel, contra-band and weapons into the facility. Video-based search tools can be utilized in screening protocols to better fa-cilitate the physical screening process at check points. These tools can enhance the safety, effi ciency and ef-fectiveness of the search process. They also have the benefi t of improving traffi c throughput at a check point when thorough searches are required.”

In each installation, the fi ber infra-structure includes a 10-gig backbone and 1-gig horizontal to smaller net-work rooms and user workstations. Each cable pull has 12 fi ber strands, which allows plenty of dark fi ber to add future bandwidth.

“We were cognizant of the need to fa-cilitate the future expansion in all areas of the units to avoid costly expansions in the future in order to continue to take advantage of the latest security trends,” said Jose Garza, CCNP, technical proj-ect manager of STS. “Upgrades will be simple and an absolute given in the fu-ture course of high security vigilance.”

The fi ber runs underground out to the perimeter and along and inside buildings, protected by a 4-inch rigid conduit when necessary. Fiber connects to six main hubs (network rooms), which include server storage; there are 23 intermediate distribution frame (IDF) locations.

HP ProLiant DL320 servers are used to run the software, and ProLi-ant DL380 servers are used for record-ing software and for initial temporary archives. Each NetDVR server runs 50-plus cameras, which takes a lot of processing power. The storage array in-cludes network-attached storage (NAS) [HPX160, two at each unit] and direct-attached storage [HP StorageWorks D2600 DAS Hard Drive Array and HP MSA60]. The servers and worksta-tions are HP, and HP switches are used throughout the network rooms. Each unit has 16 servers used as NVRs and one server. The system can record con-tinuously for 20 days, 24 hours, seven days a week, full streaming at all times with no motion-based recording in or-der to document when things don’t hap-pen as well as when they do. This is a unique prison need to immediately dis-prove a falsely fi led complaint against an offi cer and reduce the agency’s cost of lengthy investigations.

PowerDsine mid-span injectors are used to provide PoE, a less expensive option than PoE switches.

STS made an extra effort to dis-tribute video archiving across multiple servers and NAS attachments for cam-eras in each single pod. Cameras in the same area are archived to different stor-age areas to ensure continued redun-dant coverage. The approach involved extra planning up front and attention to mitigating a possible risk.

In a challenging environment like a

prison unit, TDCJ offi cials realize that no one tool is the solution.

“The video surveillance system is another means at our disposal. We’ll continue to look to technology, com-bined with other security measures, as a way to enhance the safety and secu-rity of institutions across the state of Texas,” Livingston said.

HOW STAFF USE THE SYSTEMSAt each prison, there is a senior warden and two assistant wardens who have full rights to view the system in their offi ces. Two majors—three at Stiles—have full rights as well on HP workstations. The senior warden has a 42-inch screen, and everyone else has 19-inch monitors on their desks. A 42-inch monitor is lo-

cated in an administrative conference room; if an event occurs in the unit, the conference room becomes a command center with more space for team mem-bers than a single offi ce.

Video monitors also are located at various “pickets,” which are enclosed lo-cations protected from intrusion, where operators can control doors and have keys to certain areas. The line control pickets have a 42-inch monitor and have access to everything on the system except the ability to export video. In the death row building at the Polunsky Unit, a control picket has four 20-inch monitors to push video, and in one of the pods, a 20-inch monitor has rights to view in cell

cameras. Inside dormitories, each picket has four 20-inch monitors and has the master stations for video intercom.

Each workstation is located within a lock box for security purposes. Op-erators can only access the keyboard, mouse and monitor. There is also no access to any of the network rooms, and racks are secured with locks.

Alford uses the system not just as a reactionary tool but as a proactive tool, monitoring traffi c fl ow, counting and search procedures. He sees a continuing and increasing role for video in training his staff.

“If I see someone violating a policy, I can download the video and take it to shift turnout and tell them this is not what we need to do,” Alford said.

Shift turnout is a 30-minute meeting before a new shift comes to work when various issues and training are discussed. Training uses also can extend to the 40 hours of in-service training required each year. Important points can be illus-trated using video of actual events.

“I can go back and show them, this is reality, and this is the event in real-time,” Alford said. “You see how if this offi cer was over here, this wouldn’t have happened.”

He compares the approach to a football coach meeting after a game to make adjustments to offense and defense.

“It can be a positive force in learn-

ing. They are more critical of their own performance than I am,” Alford said. “Holding staff accountable can some-times be diffi cult. On a unit this size, you can’t walk the whole unit. If I don’t walk in a building in a day, I can still look at the video to see things I might not have seen.”

USING VIDEO SURVEILLANCE A NO BRAINERThe system’s ease of use is critical; cor-rections offi cers may not necessarily be IT experts. The use of maps greatly simplifi es interface with the video sys-tem. Many areas in a prison look the same, so it is not easy to visualize a camera’s location. Operators can click into each building, and all the cameras will come up, instead of one camera at a time. It’s a useful tool that makes it easy for staff to locate the cameras they are looking for.

The system at Polunsky unit came online in stages over almost a year, and offi cers began using the system as it became live. Tim Simmons was senior warden at Polunsky Unit when the sys-tem was installed, but retired after 30 years and is now the public sector vice president at STS, continuing to work on future installations.

“The vendor provided training on the system, but because we started us-ing it as it came up, we basically didn’t need any training,” Simmons said. “The software is intuitive and extreme-ly user-friendly.”

Despite budget constraints, the Tex-as Legislature has continued to invest in public safety.

“TDCJ’s use of best-of-breed tech-nologies, the support of top industry partners and collaboration with TDCJ personnel have created an impressive and invaluable result,” said Bobby Khullar, president and CEO of STS.

Ultimately, the system provides prison staff unprecedented access to the units. A warden using the system can see their units like never before, which has dramat-ically increased control. Texas prisons have had numerous visitors from other states who have been impressed by the system’s functionality; one prominent prison offi cial from an-other state simply said, “I want one.”

Jessica L. Clark is the executive vice presi-dent of STS 360.

SYSTEMS INTEGRATORS

A RETROFIT SOLUTION Relationships that benefi t the integrator

By Kim Rahfaldt

An integrator builds his business by developing relationships, ex-ecuting installations and providing above-and-beyond customer service. Integrators spend years on each of these important com-ponents and go to great lengths to protect their reputation by of-fering quality products that are on time and on budget.

To accomplish these goals, integrators must carefully choose which manufac-turer’s solutions to represent and faithfully resell those specifi c solutions. They hang their business success on a few manufacturers, because they believe in the product and trust that the people running the company will support them.

But, what happens when the manufacturer you worked closely with for years decides to move away from a product line you’ve installed and supported for years or decades? What happens to your customers who like that product and don’t want to change?

“Manufacturers that do that [terminate a product line] put us [the integrator] in a bad light,” said Joseph Riotto, president of AVS Technology.

The customer may decide to never do business with the manufacturer again; but the truth is, they also are not happy with the integrator and often decide to stop doing business with them, too.

UNDER THE UMBRELLAWhile security falls under the technology umbrella, end users don’t always ap-proach it as they would if, say, Microsoft or Apple ended a product line. A lifecycle of months is normal in other technology domains, but an end-of-life, physical security product of any age is met with angst and even suspicion.

Customers get angry, and they don’t always make the separation between the manufacturer and the integrator. They don’t understand how a system they’ve had and invested a lot of money into for a number of years can all of a sudden not be supported. In their minds, all they need is another three readers plus controller board or a software upgrade. That should be easy, right? Besides, they’ve made these types of changes before and it was never a problem.

As the integrator, you must tell them their system is no longer going to be sup-ported or the components and/or software they need is no longer being manu-factured. Now you have an angry customer through circumstances beyond your control. The manufacturer’s decision to orphan its product has affected your repu-tation and bottom line. Your customer is asking for assurance that this never hap-pens to them again. Trust is on the line. What do you do?

If the circumstances are right, offer a retrofi t solution.A retrofi t, security solution offers your customers a cost-effective, upgrade path

while allowing you to protect your reputation, retain some of the customer’s in-vestment costs and positively impact your bottom line. Your customer may not be thrilled about having to change out their system, but they won’t have to fi nd the budget to start over. When you work with the proper manufacturer of the retrofi t solution, you offer the customer a minimally-disruptive, replacement program and the opportunity to save money.

Ultimately, if you can bring your customers a solution that is cost effective, the good relationship will continue.

ADVANTAGES TO SELLING RETROFIT SOLUTIONSWhen you present the correct retrofi t solution, it should allow your customer to use as much of their existing infrastructure as possible, thereby reducing the over-all replacement cost. The customer should be able to reuse their current readers, cards, power supplies, cabinets and wiring. When a customer is able to reuse these components, it allows you to install the system quickly because no time is wasted pulling wire and rewiring for a new system. Therefore, you work smarter and in-crease your bottom line by quickly installing the system and moving on to your next job.

Retrofi t solutions can also offer an opportunity for ongoing work over a period of time. Some customers have large systems with multiple locations that they need to retrofi t, so they may want to plan out and phase in their retrofi t, possibly up-grading one building or part of the system at a time to minimize the disruption of

their business. This means they’ll pur-chase product and installation services from you month after month, until the install is completed.

“Offering a retrofi t solution is gen-erally a tremendous opportunity to acquire new customers or earn more of an existing customer’s business,” said Enterprise Security Systems, Inc.’s President, Kurt Kottkamp. “It’s also a unique opportunity to earn their trust because of the risk involved in chang-ing systems.”

In addition is the opportunity to sell Professional Services assistance to cus-tomers who require support through-out the retrofi t, upgrade path. Profes-sional Services teams collaborate with integrators and end users to aid in the design, implementation, integration and product optimization of the ret-rofi t solution. The team can provide on-site support, Factory Acceptance Testing, On-Site Acceptance Testing, custom scripting, custom reports and custom interfaces.

The customer receives exceptional service and learns to utilize their new system to its fullest potential while you become their trusted advisor on the new system, being there every step of the way to meet rigid timetables and make sure every aspect of the installa-tion is carefully considered.

CHOOSING THE RIGHT RETROFIT SOLUTIONIt is critical to be aware of what is oc-curring in the marketplace and take note of major announcements. Keep-ing tabs on the industry by reading security magazines, browsing websites and setting up Google Alerts on your major and competitive lines can help you make business decisions that will affect your company’s future and im-pact your bottom line.

When a major manufacturer an-nounces the end of life of one its prod-ucts, it is important to analyze how that will affect your business. Specifi cally, what are you going to do when and if your customers are impacted?

The goal is not to make the same mistakes you did when you chose the manufacturer that orphaned its prod-uct. So, when choosing a retrofi t solu-tion, it is imperative to:• fi nd a historically-reliable company

with references;• explore what their history tells you;

• determine if they have taken cus-tomers for granted in the past;

• make sure the company promises backward compatibility;

• ensure the company is committed to the security industry; and

• look for companies that do in-house, product engineering as this means they have control over prod-uct design decisions and can accom-modate their customer’s needs and requirements.

When manufacturers rely on a third party to manufacture their hardware, they leave themselves open to take-overs, sales and lack of product con-trol. You need a manufacturer that will do what they say they are going to do,

especially when it comes to the data-base conversion of the old product to the retrofi t system. Any miscommuni-cation or confusion can cost you time and serious money, but perhaps more importantly your credibility.

Most customers respond to integra-tors who are honest and straightfor-ward because they want to establish a good relationship that gives them the peace-of-mind to look to you for an-swers in a fast-changing industry. By

including a retrofi t security system in your arsenal of products, you’ll be pre-pared to support a pin-for-pin, replace-ment, end-of-life system for existing or even new customers.

GROW YOUR BUSINESSProviding a cost-effective, quick-to-install, retrofi t solution from the right manufacturer that requires little down time for the end user will help to grow your business.

However, let’s say it’s not your cus-tomer who has just had the rug pulled out from under them, but your com-petitor’s customer. A door has opened. You now have the opportunity to save the day—or at least make it less pain-ful—by presenting your cost-effective, retrofi t option. Take advantage of situations such as these to grow your business by establishing new customers from other integrators who do not have a solution to offer.

“When the manufacturer who dis-continues a product and doesn’t retrofi t is not affi liated with you and you come up with a solution, then it’s gravy,” said Riotto. “It’s a simple fl ip. The dealer who sold them the original system is now under a cloud, and they have a customer who can’t sleep at night and is afraid their system is going to crash at any time. The end user doesn’t want to talk to the manufacturer or the deal-er who recommended their system. If they allow them to stay, the dealer will still be under a cloud. Everything he says is going to be questioned, even though the dealer had nothing to do with the major decision [to terminate the product].”

When a security system reaches the end of its life, doesn’t meet your cus-tomer’s needs any longer or is too costly to maintain, offering a retrofi t product may be the best alternative.

Choose a manufacturer that:• believes in exceptional customer

BORDER SECURITY

BEEFING UP BORDER SECURITY Tips on selling advanced surveillance solutions to protect U.S. frontiers

By John Merlino

Here’s an interesting geography factoid: more than 7,000 miles of U.S. land share borders with our Canadian and Mexican neigh-bors. It takes hundreds of local, state and federal agencies, tribal partners and neighboring governments, and thousands of border patrol offi cers working in concert on a daily basis to effectively

protect this vast territory from traffi ckers of illegal weapons, drugs, money and people. Legislation is now pending in Washington that ties immigration reform to increasing border security measures in ways that achieve quantifi able results.

This opens a sizable opportunity for technology vendors and systems integra-tors to propose advanced surveillance solutions that can become force-multipliers to augment various border personnel.

To build a persuasive case for contemporary technology, however, you fi rst need to understand the current state of border protection in the United States and the government’s roadmap to the future. A good source for that information can be found in the written testimony of Border Patrol Chief Michael Fisher of the U.S. Customs and Border Protection Offi ce for a House Committee hearing

on Homeland Security. The document is titled “Measuring Border Security: U.S. Border Patrol’s New Strategic Plan and the Path Forward.” (http://www.dhs.gov/news/2012/05/08/written-testimony-us-customs-and-border-protection-house-home-land-security)

It’s apparent from this testimony that government agencies such as the Depart-ment of Homeland Security (DHS) and Customs and Border Protection (CBP) are becoming increasingly more reliant on private industry to recommend and im-plement effective solutions. Once you understand the framework of their require-ments, you’ll be able to provide integrated systems to meet their specialized needs.

KEY OBJECTIVES FOR BORDER SECURITY STRATEGIESThe principal theme of the 2012 Strategic Plan is to use information, integration and rapid response to meet threats. The plan references three key objectives con-cerning border security today:• Information gathered from reconnaissance, community engagement and tech-

nology together provide situational awareness and intelligence to help under-

stand and assess the threats we face along our borders. Integrating this intelligence will empower Border Patrol leadership and front line agents to get ahead of the threat, be predictive and proactive.

• Leveraging partnerships with mul-

tiple government organizations is essential to the execution of border security operations. Coordinated and cooperative effort between agencies will ensure that we bring all available capabilities and tools to bear in addressing threats.

• Through rapid response, capabilities are deployed effi ciently and effec-tively to assess and mitigate the risks confronted.In light of those objectives and

strategies, there two commonly recog-nized border security environments:

1. Land Points of Entry (LPOE) and Checkpoints, and 2. Remote/Unmanned Borders.

LAND POINTS OF ENTRY AND CHECKPOINTSLegitimate international commerce and travel fl ow into the United States via 329 offi cial LPOEs. For instance, on the northern border, the Peace Bridge entry point in Buffalo, NY, handles nearly 2.8 million border crosses by auto/truck annually. At the newly renovated south-ern border crossing at San Isidro near San Diego, CA, more than 12 million vehicles and 8 million people crossed into the United States in 2011 alone.

Many different federal, state and lo-cal law enforcement agencies typically share jurisdiction and operation of these busy, permanent inspection sites. Over time, it has become increasingly apparent that only through coordi-nated, joint efforts and sharing of data and systems can these agencies gain the necessary real-time situational aware-ness needed to safeguard the country’s points of entry without negatively im-pacting trade and tourism.

Serving both as a checkpoint and operations center, LPOEs rely on a va-riety of systems and sensors to provide

“In light of dras-

tic budget cuts,

agencies involved

in border security

are leaning more

towards the use of

technology solu-

tions to identify and deter drug smug-

glers and undocumented immigrants.

IP video platforms offer an interesting

option to agencies like the US Border

Patrol and the Coast Guard because

the cameras can be set up on fi xed

locations, like on the southwest border

fence, and can be used in more mobile

situations like vessels or unmanned

aerial vehicles. Such platforms could

signifi cantly streamline law enforce-

ment response to border incursions,

particularly if such systems could

demonstrate a high level of reliability in

adverse conditions and economy over

existing border surveillance systems.”

critical information, such as radar, sonar, communications and airborne and fi xed video. When properly integrated, these systems afford commanders a complete overview of checkpoint activity, as well as their relevant area of responsibility. In tactical parlance this is referred to as C4ISR: Command, Control, Communica-tions, Computers, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance.

LEGACY LPOE SYSTEMS VERSUS TODAY’S REALITY In the past, many of these systems displayed their data independently and in a format that couldn’t be shared with other applications. Today, the government is requiring that these systems move to open standards to ensure interoperability.

What does this shift in standards mean to you?• Any solution you propose must have the ability to be displayed on a common

operating platform (COP). • Multiple inputs and sensors must communicate with multiple, non-proprietary

applications with shared databases.• Your solution must reside on the local network. The government is mandating

that all system data be moved to the cloud or hosted remotely. • Information assurance has become a central concern as new threats and vul-

nerabilities emerge daily, so proposed systems must meet a moving array of government-imposed certifi cations.

• Many government agencies publish their own approved products lists that meet their stringent information assurance requirements, so vendor components must meet each agency’s criteria.

REMOTE/UNMANNED NORTHERN AND SOUTHERN BORDERS Large expanses of land and water add another complexity to border security. In the past, government agencies have deployed physical barriers, such as a fencing and surveillance technologies, such as long-range thermal detection devices.

While these measures have been effective to some extent, the sheer expanses

have prevented them from providing the relevant situational awareness that border protection staff need for actionable use and intelligence gathering.

In 2006, the government initiated a program called SBInet to secure U.S. bor-ders and augment rapid response by integrating interagency personnel, infrastruc-ture and technology. Though a laudable goal, the project never truly coalesced primarily because its one-size-fi ts-all approach using integrated fi xed tower-base systems wasn’t applicable across all border environments. In 2011, DHS formally cancelled the program.

Subsequently the government’s strategy changed from “developmental sys-tems” to “deployed and production-ready systems” on a sector by sector basis. The goal now appears to focus on creating frontier force multipliers by strategi-cally deploying infrastructure along remote borders to house technical equipment and staff and aggregate intelligence from multiple systems.

LEGACY REMOTE BORDER SYSTEMS VS TODAY’S REALITYPrevious solutions deployed in these remote environments were based on propri-etary equipment that was often hard to service and sustain. Like LPOEs, vast expanses of unmanned borders are best served by a multi-sensor, open systems approach.

So how does that impact the types of solutions and components you might propose to deploy?• Government agencies are driving requirements to furnish more commercial

off-the-shelf (COTs) products, requiring vendors to use a deployment-ready approach to development.

• Data must be packaged and compressed in order to move it to other locations. • Software applications and storage systems should be able to manage metadata

and share information across a broad spectrum of agencies. • Your solution will need a mechanism for streaming data to the cloud or an

off-site hosting facility.

BORDER SECURITY

• Cyber threats and information assurance requirements will continue to drive the need for more robust and secure hardware and software.

• The government values return on investment, so you will need to illustrate the benefi ts of your solution in reducing manpower and streamlining operations.

BUILDING A ROADMAP FOR SUCCESSAs a security integrator or technology provider, the apparent complexity of a bor-der security project or program can be intimidating. After all, if Boeing with all its immense resources failed to bring SBInet to fruition, how can smaller companies hope to succeed?

Many would argue that the failure of SBInet was ultimately due to insuffi cient procurement oversight. Rather than walking away from this opportunity, the key is to establish common criteria with measurable performance metrics, clearly defi ned goals and fi xed milestones.

Success in this demanding space is based on a strategic approach and solid planning. Below are a number of important steps to consider when participating in a border security initiative—whatever your role.

Partnerships. The complexity of these solutions demands strategic partnerships and cooperative development, so look for fi rms with robust partner programs and standards-based development philosophies.

Cloud or hosted video solutions. The burden of maintenance and rising energy costs are driving government customers to consolidate data centers and reduce their overall IT footprint. In border deployments, a proposal may need to include a cloud or hosted environment alternative and/or a migration path.

Open platform standards. For interagency operability, you need to deliver truly open software and hardware such as open APIs, SDKs and COTs components and applications.

Edge-based hardware solutions. The ability to provide data or metadata, storage and analytics at the edge reduces server/processor cost and increases performance and capabilities. Expanded FLASH technology and other edge storage capabilities provide redundancy for shared data.

Cyber focus. Integrators and technology providers must keep current on gov-ernment information assurance requirements, certifi cations, and be listed on gov-ernment agencies’ approved products lists.

A COMPELLING PROPOSAL FOR SPECIFIC VIDEO SURVEILLANCE TECHNOLOGYThe very nature of border environments makes them ideal candidates for more advanced network-based video surveillance technology. Here are some innovative IP camera technologies you might consider including in your proposal:• Wide dynamic range, enhanced lowlight color technologies and advanced

H.264 compression provide signifi cantly better video quality and reduce much-needed bandwidth.

• New HDTV-quality network cameras tactically deployed in tandem with ther-mal technology are capable of detection and identifi cation at a substantially lower cost than their predecessors.

• Digital encoders provide a migration path from analog to IP. They can extend the useful life of legacy cameras and increase their functionality by streaming video data on the network.

SECURING A BORDER PROTECTION CONTRACTSucceeding in this dynamic and politically-charged space requires due diligence. You and your partners need to be able to identify and target multiple govern-mental agencies and understand their security challenges, certifi cation processes and procurement requirements. Propose solutions that align with their mission and incorporate systems that not only provide criti-cal situational awareness, but also facilitate interagency sharing of critical security intelligence.

That’s why there’s iBridge. The easy remote services you provide your eager accounts, to bridge where they are and where they’d really like to see or be, 24/7, while

providing real home security & more… video, home automation &/or energy management.

It’s easier. It’s more affordable. It’s less equipment. All it takes is the Free iBridge App used on any smart phone or tablet, and one bus-mount iBridge Module (it’s internet- and z-wave ready). It retrofits any Gemini System; and our award-winning WiFi Touchscreen’s purely optional. That makes you more competitive. Choose any central station, you’re in control. Using standard Z-Wave™ Devices, we typically get twice the range, so it’s more reliable & easier to install. Without rolling a truck, you can service, edit and configure iBridge from your own smart device. Then, all backs up to the Cloud; names,

custom scenes, scheds., triggers, etc.

Do any or all iBridge Home Services: Customize your offering. First, put your name right on it (free). Then, choose: Remote Security System Control with triggered notifications; HD Streaming Video (live & stored); Energy Management &/or Z-Wave Automation, i.e., lighting, appliances, thermostats, even locks. These game-changing services

will make your security accounts easier to close, retain and far more lucrative.

iBridge ... Simply more profitable for you. Let us show you how to get started. Take a free class near you or online, register at www.napcosecurity.com/seminars. Ask your distributor or Napco sales rep 1-800-645-9445.

AT A GLOBAL LEVEL The benefi ts of centralizing and standardizing security systems fall to the bottom lineBy Renae Leary

COST EFFICIENCIES


Whether it’s the bank that started with one location or a technology company that started in the founder’s pro-verbial garage, every global company began small. It is through scalability that companies are able to become global by replicating local growth in order to achieve suc-

cess in many locations or across a broader geographic area. Even as businesses scale a successful formula, they have to be mindful of the localized differences from one market to the next. For example, a restaurant chain must adapt to local palates while an automobile manufacturer must create vehicles that fi t differing preferences or regulations.

This same concept applies to securing global companies. While adapting to geographical and demographic differences, security must attain a worldwide stan-dard of safety and risk management consistent with the effective operation of the

enterprise. Security technology can address both needs by adapting to and sup-porting localized requirements, while maintaining this standard.

Most global companies are looking to achieve fast growth in the coming de-cades, and the best opportunities for that growth come in new markets, where security can be an even bigger concern than in developed areas. You have to go where the growth is because effective security to protect the business wherever it goes and the facilities wherever they are built will continue to be paramount for global enterprises. Effective security will make it possible for companies to enter new locations safely, enabling continued growth into developing markets.

Many global companies seek to centralize the management of their key func-tions while ensuring adherence to a corporate-wide standard, and security is no different since centralized management can be the most effi cient and cost-effective approach to security.

Let’s look at ways corporate secu-rity systems can be centralized and standardized on a global scale while meeting localized needs, and how the resulting cost effi ciencies go to the bot-tom line.

TECHNOLOGY MAKES THE WORLD SMALLERCommunications and networking tech-nologies help make the world a smaller place by simplifying the transfer of in-formation around the globe. This helps facilitate the operation of a worldwide marketplace by easily crossing national boundaries and reaching every corner of the world.

In the case of global companies, the easy fl ow of information enables more effi cient operation, and greater stan-dardization and compliance.

With security, integrated technology systems can bring together disparate security processes and systems across cities, countries and continents. Glob-al customers benefi t from centralized monitoring, system management, and streamlined installations and services, leading to increased effi ciency. Just as the effi ciencies of operation contribute to the success of a global enterprise, so do the effi ciencies of worldwide, imple-mented, security technology to promote better protection of that enterprise.

Instead of dealing with variable in-formation from disparate systems all over the world, security end users can now manage their systems centrally from one location, anywhere in the world with network access. Global inte-gration puts information at their fi nger-tips as the benefi ts are refl ected in the improved effi ciency and effectiveness of technology systems.

OPERATIONAL EFFICIENCIES SAVES MONEYThe need to reduce costs is a given, so multinational clients are optimizing operational budgets in every possible area. Security has to do its part, and the cost-effective application of video surveillance, video monitoring, access control and security services refl ect the broader cost-consciousness of the enterprise. Perhaps most importantly, lower costs must not be achieved by compromising equipment quality or system performance. The new standard is to combine cost-effectiveness with superior performance. Global end us-ers today demand nothing less.

Economies of scale provide an im-portant contribution to cost effective-ness. Large, unifi ed systems are less expensive to operate than multiple, non-standardized systems. Security systems can now operate on global platforms that control multiple data-

bases and systems from a single point, giving greater effi ciency, simplicity and ease of use. This approach allows for a reduction in software licensing fees, a signifi cant cost savings for a large en-terprise organization.

In addition, centralized security

systems also need fewer operators. Be-cause smart technology provides tools to make operators more effi cient and productive, companies can reduce the number of people they need to man-age security. This is another way to save costs without compromising protection.

COST EFFICIENCIES

Global security systems make an-other contribution to profi tability by offering greater protection for people, facilities and assets worldwide. This is perhaps the biggest contribution of security technology to the enterprise’s bottom line. Because systems help to manage risk and respond more quickly to potential security threats, the con-vergence of multiple systems saves time and effort. A well-integrated, global se-curity system pays for itself many times over by neutralizing risk and respond-ing to events to minimize their impact.

Should an event occur, security sys-tems provide important information and evidence about the event to aid in prosecution or provide insight into how to prevent similar events in the future. For example, an event can trigger im-mediate video coverage in real time, and it is simultaneously accessible to management and security professionals throughout the company. This infor-mation is power for global companies in terms of any security system’s return on investment (ROI) as integrated sys-tems provide information to empower more effective management of world-wide security.

Beyond the security department, integration with other enterprise sys-tems is another way security technol-ogy can save costs for the enterprise. For instance, integration of access control with building management can allow lights and air-conditioning to be activated in a specifi c offi ce only when an employee swipes a card during off-hours. Even small effi ciencies can pay off big, when considering the benefi t(s) on a global scale.

TECHNOLOGY BOOSTS OPERATION AND SUCCESSMultiple factors of operation can im-pact the security requirements of any company; but, this is especially true of large companies, which face operation-al factors that impact security needs in a variety of ways around the world. Therefore, another factor impacting security is the need to comply with a range of regulatory environments.

In the United States, for example, chemical-related companies are re-quired to adhere to federal CFATS standards, which include the need to meet 18 published, risk-based, perfor-mance standards. If a company doesn’t comply, they face having to pay penal-ties to the government. CFATS stands

for Chemical Facility Anti-Terrorism Standards, and it’s just a sampling of the alphabet soup of regulations that impact companies in the United States alone. Other examples are HIPAA (for the medical community), NERC/FERC (for utility companies) and Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX, governing accountability of public companies).

In addition, the European Union has its own long list of regulatory re-quirements, and any company with global locations faces a seemingly endless stream of varied and assorted requirements to meet, such as the in-ternational ISO 27000 (related to infor-mation security).

Even regulations that are not specifi c to security can impact how security op-erates, and technology systems must be able to conform to their requirements.

By converging security and other technology systems with overall opera-tions, companies can simplify regula-tory compliance worldwide. Solutions can help manage compliance, a huge cost that is central to global success. The data from security technologies, which is increasingly easy to integrate with other platforms, can add value throughout the enterprise. More infor-mation and transparency into company operations enables more effi cient oper-ation related to compliance. Thus, any problems can be identifi ed earlier and more easily, helping to minimize the ex-pense of dealing with them.

FROM MULTINATIONAL TO TRULY GLOBALA lot has been written about what it takes to be a true “global” company. Management gurus sometimes draw a distinction between a “multinational” and “global” company with the differ-ence between the two being how unifi ed the company is on a global basis.

For example, a multinational com-pany might have locations or facilities in many countries, but each location might function independently. In con-trast, a global company tends to have a more unifi ed corporate culture and a similar set of processes and functions around the world, effectively making it a single, worldwide entity.

This same paradigm plays out in the security department of global com-panies. Legacy technology differences deployed at various locations tend to complicate the challenge, as does the trend toward mergers and acquisi-

tions, with each new asset coming with its own specialized security needs and installed base of technologies. Multi-national companies tend to want to op-erate more like global companies, and unifying, standardizing and centraliz-ing the security function is a big part of the process.

As many multinational companies work toward being more global by strengthening the internal corporate culture elements that tend to unify the many locations into one, they of-ten take a step back to analyze how the company has developed piecemeal over the years and to reimagine how the company should be structured to address the global market.

The same can happen with security systems.

By reimagining and re-engineering its security technologies on a global scale, an enterprise—with the help of a global systems integrator who is able to address the broad enterprise needs of the company and work to combine systems around the world and create a unifi ed face of security for the enter-prise—can add immense value to the bottom line and contribute to cost sav-ings in the process.

MEETING HIGHER DEMANDS OF GLOBAL COMPANIESCombining cost savings and better security are critical to optimizing the operation of global companies and protecting their people, facilities and assets. Technology stands ready to enable even the largest companies to maximize their security benefi ts while minimizing costs.

Thoughtful implementation of tech-nology, in the broader context of over-all company operations, provides a path to realize the benefi ts at less cost; how-ever, technology must address localized security concerns while achieving and maintaining a worldwide standard of protection. It must interface and inter-operate with other information systems to maximize its value and extend its usefulness to a variety of operations-related goals. It must also adhere to corporate spending austerity while con-tributing to corporate wealth and pav-ing the way for future expansion.

Delivering networked access con-trol and video management systems for global corporations is a challenging task. Providers must deliver a vast network of geographic coverage, a robust centralized

project management team well versed in different regional regulations and cul-tures, and a worldwide monitoring and service organization to meet customer needs virtually anywhere in the world. Most important is a global support net-work to provide global proposal, instal-

lation and service coordination to fur-ther help reduce project cycle times while ensuring high-quality implementations. When all these capabilities come to-gether, worldwide businesses can partner with a technology and service provider to realize signifi cant cost effi ciencies and

streamlined security operations across the world.

A KEY FOR CASINOS Maintaining tight control to minimize lossBy Fernando Pires

With so much money fl owing throughout casinos, these estab-lishments are a highly-regulated world within themselves when it comes to security.

One of the most critical areas of casino security is physical key control because these instruments are used for

access to all of the most-sensitive and highly-secured areas, including counting rooms and drop boxes. Therefore, the rules and regulations that relate to key con-trol are extremely important to maintaining tight control, while minimizing loss and fraud.

MANUAL LOGSCasinos that are still using manual logs for key control are at constant risk. Not only are there inherent inaccuracies with this system, including signatures that are missing or illegible, but this sign-out process is time consuming.

Analysis, reporting and investigation are extremely labor intensive due to dig-ging through piles and boxes of log sheets, making it diffi cult to keep an accurate account of key usage while having a negative impact on compliance.

CHOOSING THE RIGHT SOLUTIONWhen choosing a key control and management solution that meets the needs of the casino environment, there are important features to consider.

Multiple layers of security. Before accessing any key in the system, each indi-vidual user should face at least two layers of security. Biometric identifi cation, a PIN or an ID card swipe to identify the user’s credentials are not enough sepa-

rately. The cabinet door should not open until the system verifi es that the user has permission for the specifi c key requested.

Three-man rule. For certain keys or key sets that are highly-sensitive, compli-ance regulations may require signatures from three individuals, one each from three separate departments, typically a drop-team member, a cage cashier and security offi cer. A secure key management system should be programmable to recognize these keys or key sets and only open the cabinet door and release them once the three required logins are complete and the credentials verifi ed. A system designed for user convenience will prompt for the additional logins only once, regardless of how many sets were initially requested.

Returning highly sensitive keys may be even more highly regulated, with mul-tiple levels of security required. For example, “Full Secure” would require that the same users who removed a key must return the key, while “Department Secure” would only require the fi rst user’s credentials to match exactly while the two other users would have to match by department. The key control system should be con-fi gurable to handle these levels and others as well.

Limitation of access. Access to drop boxes outside of scheduled hours is an-other regulated area that requires specifi c functionality from a key control system. In the case of an event like a machine jam, customer dispute, machine relocation or maintenance, the user would typically be required to include a predefi ned note and freehand comment with an explanation of the situation before removing keys. In a casino environment, specifi c keys or key sets should be confi gurable so that the user is prompted for this. Reports detailing unscheduled access, including the reason why the access occurred, should be available, as required by many state


CASINO SECURITY

0913sec_078_079_Pires_v3.indd 78 8/19/13 9:34 AM

and tribal gaming agencies. Addition-ally, emails and/or SMS text messages should automatically be generated any time those sets are accessed for un-scheduled drops.

Access to table game drop box release keys is limited to the specifi c employees who are authorized to remove the table game drop boxes from the tables. These same individuals would be precluded from having access to table game drop box contents keys at the same time they have the table game drop box re-lease keys out. Again, this functionality should be easily and conveniently con-fi gurable in a key control solution.

Reporting. Gaming regulations re-quire a number of different types of audits on a regular basis to assure the casino is in full compliance with regu-lations. For example, when employees sign the table game drop box keys in or out, Nevada Gaming Commission re-quirements call for maintenance of sep-arate reports indicating the date, time, table game number, reason for access, and signature or electronic signature.

An “electronic signature” includes a unique employee PIN or card, or em-ployee biometric identifi cation validated and recorded through a computerized key security system. The key manage-ment system should have custom soft-ware that enables the user to set up all these and many other types of reports. A robust reporting system will greatly assist the business to track and improve processes, ensure employee honesty and minimize security risks.

Convenience. It is useful for certain keys or key sets to be quickly available to their authorized users. With an in-stant key release feature, the user only needs to input their credentials, and the system knows whether they already have their specifi c keys or not. If not, the system unlocks and their keys are im-mediately available to them. Returning keys is just as fast and easy. This saves time, reduces training and sidesteps any language barriers. Personnel like house-keepers and slot fl oor attendants can be organized into “groups”. For them, the hotel and casino would have multiples of the same respective key sets available; the system releases the next available set to each authorized user from a group, which cycles through the sets so that each gets equal usage.

Gaming requirements vary from state to state, and from tribe to tribe. The key control and management system

chosen for deployment in a casino en-vironment should be fl exible to accom-modate for any of the above regulations and. It should also be modular and scalable, so the number of keys and the scope of features can change and grow along with the business.

Finally, it should be easy to use, as training time can be costly and many different employees will need to be able to access the system.

By keeping these elements in mind, a casino can manage their key control system wisely.

Fernando Pires is the vice president of sales and marketing at Morse Watchmans.

AMERICA’S LARGEST CONVENTION CENTER HOSTS ASIS 2013Tradeshow is a prestigious event for security professionalsBy Judy Jones-Shand

McCormick Place, located minutes from downtown Chicago on the shore of Lake Michigan, is the venue for the 59th annual ASIS tradeshow. Billed as one of the security indus-try’s most infl uential events, with 700 exhibits and 200 edu-cational sessions available to 20,000 security professionals,

ASIS 2013 promises top-drawer accommodations and plenty of information for this year’s attendees.

Beyond the vast exhibition space, McCormick Place offers 170 meeting rooms, six ballrooms, assembly seating for 18,000 and three theatres—including the Arie Crown, which accommodates more than 4,000. Easy access parking, with more than 5,800 spaces, is also available.

Security remains top priority at McCormick Place, since the original 1935 ex-position hall, once deemed fi reproof, was destroyed in a 1967 fi re. During the re-design and rebuilding in 1971, McCormick Center planners were credited with helping to reshape prevailing building codes, many of which are still in force today.

As the demand for bigger conventions grew, so did McCormick Place. The ex-pansion brought immense growth in stature, as well as size, enabling McCormick Place to hold the distinct honor as the largest convention center in North America.

SECURING THE TRADESHOWContinental Access, a division of Napco Security Technologies, will perform dou-ble duty this year by participating as a tradeshow exhibitor while working security functions at McCormick Place. For more than 15 years, Continental Access has provided the integrated, access control system at McCormick Place. It’s a huge responsibility-McCormick Place covers more than two-and-a-half million square feet, with half of that area on one level.

“What we’re most concerned about is providing reliable, effi cient and secure access control to all our exhibitors and their guests,” said Frank Solano, security systems engineer at SMG, a management company that oversees some of the fi n-est convention venues, arenas and stadiums across the country, and McCormick Place. “With over 2.5 million square feet of exhibition space, it is imperative that

we maintain the highest level of security, without sacrifi cing the fl exibility our exhibitors require for their events.”

OVERALL FACILITY SECURITYSince 1996, Continental Access’ CA3000 enterprise software and access control panels have provided the solution for McCormick Place.

“McCormick Place is an important, long-time customer of Continental’s, and in fact, just upgraded to our newest enterprise software CA3000 version 2.9,” said Scott Schramme, vice president of Continental Access. “It enables them to get more integration options including a choice of multiple video integration partners, a richer feature set going forward and to get faster, super-optimized performance from the large number of Continental Access Controllers they have in the system. Our robust, scalable, enterprise platform provides an easy-to-use, easy-to-train and easy-to-deploy solution for any size facility, and it will grow with them as they continue to expand, both in square feet and in security requirements.”

McCormick Place security engineer Solano agrees with the software’s ease-of-use. “What I most like about the Continental System CardAccess CA3000 is its in-

terface,” Solano said. “The program is very easy to learn, and navigating through the software is simple. Access control operators in our control room can be easily trained to perform the basic essential duties of an access control system within a few days. The more in-depth, technical tasks that are usually performed by system engineers are also easily mastered.”

Upon installation, Schramme said the initial security team at McCormick Place took full advantage of Continental’s comprehensive Sponsored End-user Training Program. This enabled the security team to become more autonomous and capable of implementing system updates and routine maintenance.

FACILITY TRANSITION AND EXPANSIONContinental Access System’s fl exibility and legacy of support helped the facility transition its system topology from RS232/485 serial communications to Ethernet communications, as LAN connections replaced many older-style, 422 communi-

0913sec_086_087_Jones_v2.indd 86 8/19/13 9:37 AM


cation daisy-chains on individual panels. Ultimately, communications improved and the potential for fu-ture adjustments eased.

McCormick Place also expanded its access system hardware in 2006 by adding approximately 200 access doors that roughly coincided with the opening of the 470,000 square foot West Building. Continental Ac-cess System secured this addition with its Turbo Su-perterm-8 panels, incremental to some legacy Smar-term access panels. In a nod to budget concerns, the original legacy panels’ fi rmware was upgraded to run software alongside the new panels. This unique benefi t from Continental adds longevity to any installation.

SYSTEM UPGRADES AND INTEGRATIONS Continental designs and builds its own access con-trol panels for easy upgrades and greater lifespan. For example, speed can be optimized when teamed with Continental’s CA3000 because the integrated software boasts 10-times faster processing speeds, so doors open in less than a 1/4-of-a-second. The 921 KBps are especially relevant to high-volume facilities, where large numbers of people require simultaneous access at peak periods and when management needs to process a lot of data.

However, Solano says he fi nds the reporting fea-tures most useful on a daily basis.

“The ability to run various reports has been in-strumental in maintaining the integrity of security operations. With a few clicks of the mouse I can run detailed reports of badge history, card reader usage and access group auditing.”

McCormick recently upgraded the enterprise ac-cess control software in its well-equipped security control room. Version 2.9 features Milestone NVR integration, as well as NEC failover server software, for disaster recovery and redundant systems option.

“I was pleased to discover that CA3000 integrates with my video management system,” Solano said. “Control room operators at McCormick Place run several programs from their workstations, with Card Access 3000 being their main focus. Further integra-tion with other systems eliminates having to run mul-tiple programs and makes CardAccess 3000 a com-plete security system solution.”

The new CA3000 software release offers the fa-cility some new options, including support for Con-tinental’s new Accelaterm 8- to 16-Door Control-lers—which preceded the convention center’s existing Turbo Supergerms. These super-speed controllers control twice the number of doors, completing full downloads of fi rmware and data in less than 5 min-utes for tens of thousands of badges.

Additionally, the CA3000 supports wireless Trilo-gy Networx Access Locks from Alarm Lock. Networx PIN/Prox Access Locks can be wirelessly installed at any door and run from the server. Retrofi tting stan-dard knob-set locks, durable Grade 1 Networx locks are intelligent edge devices, deployed in less than an hour, that bring power, door-position information,

REX on the lever handle and built-in HID readers to any door, while acting as single-door controllers on the Continental system.

Networx Locks are seamlessly networked directly into the CA3000 software and workstation environ-ment for real-time access reporting, audit trails and personnel updates.

SYSTEM SUCCESSSchramme believes product improvement leads to success.

“While other access control companies have been busy building, buying and dropping entire product lines, Continental Access has been continually refi n-ing and improving our core hardware and software for decades. You don’t have to buy new to increase system size or get upgraded features with Continen-tal...that’s how we’ve kept valued customers like Mc-Cormick, as well as top educational and healthcare facilities for years and years.”

Award-winning McCormick Place reportedly hosts nearly 3 million visitors annually, and their ac-cess system and photo badging utility easily keeps pace. More than 28,000 authorized cardholders are assigned to multiple database partitions for different segments of personnel and/or areas of the facility in-cluding reception, security and human resources.

Door control is also offered for meeting rooms

throughout the facility. Access groups receive defi ned, expiration dates based on the rental period booked by the planner. This both simplifi es and streamlines administration, while providing a higher level of se-curity for corporate meetings.

In addition, contractors, trades and other ser-vice providers receive specifi c area access with tem-porary badges offering specifi c expiration times and date. When the job’s done, the system automat-ically terminates access, netting security with labor cost savings.

The Continental Enterprise Security System of-fers an interoperable security solution for security and risk managers. With a robust combination of ac-cess, video, intrusion/fi re alarms and locking, Con-tinental Enterprise Security Systems grow with the client. Based on open architecture with a Microsoft SQL Server database, it’s easy on any budget, prom-ising no annual software licensing fees. Continental plans for painless upgrades by offering a 3-year war-ranty on fi eld-upgradable controllers; new and op-tional, yearly software upgrade op-portunities and an appealing retrofi t rebate program for conversions.

DVRs NVRs

ON THE CUTTING EDGE Credit union transitions to all IP video surveillance solution

By Ali Mahmoud

Staying on top of a rapidly evolving technology, such as video sur-veillance, can be challenging. Despite knowing recent technologies are more powerful, effi cient and effective at addressing risks, the lo-gistics of making a transition can be complex, decision-making can take time and the required investment can be signifi cant. However,

some banks and credit unions take pride in being early adopters and are able to quickly embrace change.

Such is the case with Centris Federal Credit Union, a fi nancial institution based in Omaha, Neb., with 11 branches serving Omaha and other communities across the state.

Centris had been using a hybrid NVR solution since 2006, long before the industry began transitioning from analog to IP and from NVRs to server-based platforms. When a new head offi ce building was acquired three years later, Steve Edgerton, senior vice president of technology, and Blake Grooters, facilities man-ager, decided to test the waters with a server-based, VMS software solution and new IP cameras.

MOVING TO IP VIDEOCentris opted for a browser-based, VMS solution and IP cameras from March Networks, which they preferred over the cameras originally acquired with their head offi ce.

Despite the different brands of surveillance technology deployed across Centris’ footprint, investigators are able to access and review video from any camera in the system through the common VMS user interface. This allows the credit union to tran-sition to new technology over time, leverage prior investments in its NVRs and analog cameras, and not have to worry about the interoperability of different platforms.

The VMS eliminates the need to upgrade software on desktops throughout the credit union’s branch network, streamlines administration of user privileges and camera settings, and minimizes hardware failures as servers replace NVRs.

“At the same time, IP cameras provide Centris with a phenomenal improve-ment in picture quality,” Grooters said.

The VMS is facilitating the deployment of video surveillance at remote kiosks in grocery stores. Instead of installing a NVR or server at the location, Centris simply connects an IP camera to the corporate network, linking the kiosk to the main offi ce.

“Going forward, the plan is to phase out the NVRs over time, put everything on the VMS and go exclusively with the new IP cameras,” Edgerton said.

In fact, subsequent remodeling projects at several branches offered an opportu-nity to transition to an all-IP system.

MOBILE ACCESSA cloud-based, mobile application that works with the VMS will facilitate mobile access to video from tablets and smartphones. In the event of an emergency, au-thorized Centris staff will be able to go into the system, select a camera and view live video, even if they are on the road or in an off-site meeting.

“There are more and more tablets across the enterprise, so we’re looking for-ward to taking advantage of mobile access,” Edgerton said.

0913sec_088_089_Mahmoud_v3.indd 88 8/19/13 9:38 AM


VIDEO SURVEILLANCE AS A DETERRENTEvidence from the video surveillance solution has been used on numerous occasions to document a variety of incidents, from robberies to cases of internal fraud, with some clips even airing on local TV news broadcasts. For the most part, however, the system functions as a deterrent.

“The fi rst thing anyone sees when they come in the front door of one of our branches is a welcome [analog] monitor with their picture on it,” Edgerton said. “It lets them know right away that they are under surveillance, so if they’re com-ing in with anything other than innocent intentions, they’ll just turn around and walk right out. There have been several instances of this over the years.”

A single-channel encoder is used to convert digital video from the IP cam-eras for display on the analog monitor.

COMBATTING ATM FRAUDCentris’ strategy for combatting ATM fraud is mounting cameras in areas that are out of the reach of a potential fraud-ster. The cameras record the customer’s approach so that person can’t cover up the camera installed inside the ATM.

Several tools are available to the credit union to make sure their video surveillance system is up and run-ning. For example, the NVR software reports on the health status of the ATM-mounted recorders, while the health checking capability of the VMS reports on any performance issues af-fecting the cameras.

At sites still equipped with NVRs, branch management logs on to each re-corder fi rst thing every morning to make sure their analog cameras are working properly. Centris’ IT department uses a network monitoring system that alerts staff to server and other issues.

“We have three large monitors in our technology services area that display alerts, color codes them and sends out text messages to whoever is on call, so we’re pretty well covered,” Grooters said.

ALARM INTEGRATIONRelying on Diebold Incorporated’s Omaha offi ce for support and exper-tise, Centris recently took advantage of an alarm monitoring service that allows Diebold’s 24/7 monitoring center to ac-cess Centris’ video surveillance system for alarm verifi cation.

“It’s a great service to have because

if something happens in the middle of the night at a branch, we can go in and have a look around,” Diebold’s Lindsay Michalski said. “If it’s a false alarm, we don’t have to wake anybody up or bother the police.”

“I give a lot of credit to Centris for embracing innovation and the techno-logical changes that we have seen in the video surveillance industry. Their sys-tem is state-of-the-art and a model that other fi nancial institutions can certain-

ly emulate,” concluded Michalski.

LUXURY AND SECURITY MEET Choosing the proper video management system is a thoughtful choice

By Mary Wilbur

An icon on Chicago’s skyline, The Langham, a luxury hotel, is only minutes from the commercial Loop district and within walking distance to the leisure amenities of Grant Park and the famed Magnifi cent Mile, the city’s premium retail and dining hub. The Langham occupies the fi rst 13 fl oors of a 52-story skyscraper de-

signed by celebrated architect Mies van der Rohe, residing in what was once the IBM building on Wabash Ave. The hotel is committed to keeping its residents safe and secure within its walls, where there are 268 luxurious guest rooms and 48 spacious suites. As one of only fi ve, 5 diamond hotels in the city, the owners from Hong Kong wanted to make sure that it remained a luxury hotel destination, even after substantial refurbishment was completed.

Scott Superfi ne, senior project manager at M&R Electronics, a certifi ed Salient integrator in the Chicagoland area, won the subcontracting portion of the refur-bishment from the prime contractor to upgrade low-voltage systems, voice data and life safety.

The entire installation of video surveillance and low-voltage equipment had

to be fl awless as the building was declared a Chicago Landmark in 2008 and was entered into the National Register of Historic Places. Plus, the owners of The Langham, Chicago wanted to continue the traditions, values and legendary service established by The Langham of London in 1865.

“We placed 180 Axis cameras in the facility, using Salient Systems’ Complete-View VMS software,” Superfi ne said. “We see CompleteView VMS as the perfect marriage of high-quality, video surveillance equipment. We see these cameras as fairly seamless, and the entire install was an incredibility fl awless integration.”

The end user also chose to deploy CompleteView throughout the hotel where management is able to monitor fl oors LL2 through 13 in its own command center, outfi tted with two, 55-inch monitors and two, 22-inch monitors. In addition, the command center is equipped with Salient’s Alarm Client, giving operators the ad-vantage of monitoring and recording through the use of an event-based system.

“We’re excited The Langham Hotel has been able to enhance their security monitoring operations with CompleteView’s powerful, alarm-based, monitoring features,” said Brian Carle, director of product strategy at Salient Systems. “Us-

ing CV SpotLight and Alarm Client, security sys-tem operators can focus on the potentially-relevant, event-based video. When designated alarms occur, CompleteView can pop up video on single or multiple

displays and play an audio alert assuring attention is focused on the event.”

Superfi ne said the event-based, notifi cation sys-tem allows for 2x2 tiles (4 images) on the monitor to view the most recent activity from selected cameras. AlarmClient picks up the images and plays them in sequence from the fi rst four cameras that are record-ing, until it has played all the sequences.

“It certainly draws the attention of the operator,” Superfi ne said. “An operator will pull up an event in real time, which is an extension of motion recording and repurposing.”

Repurposing is scheduled and event-based, where motion recording will reuse the real-time view and save it for a record, all while allowing the operator to see what is going on in actual time. It comes in handy to allow an operator to see fi rst-hand anything that causes an alarm, notifying them that something is outside the norm.

The hotel offers its guests numerous niceties includ-ing world-class culinary experiences, a wellness and fi tness experience, and elegant venues for enchanting events. The Langham, Chicago is an ideal location for large functions, innovative business events and inti-mate meetings, all within 15,000 square feet of private event spaces, comprising 12 function rooms. Guests are assured specialized service and state-of-the-art audiovisual equipment, which also must be secured.

Because of this, security at the hotel is taken seriously, and the marriage of VMS and cameras were vital to the overall success of the refurbishment.

“CompleteView provides a rich integration with Axis cameras that allows users to take advantage of many of the camera’s advanced feature sets,” Carle said. “Capabilities such as on-camera motion detec-tion, input events, light control as well as edge-based storage can be utilized with CompleteView, providing fl exibility in a number of deployment scenarios.”

The legacy of the hotel is one of sophistication and elegance, where promises of any event or celebration will be remembered for years to come. All of these op-portunities for guests are equal to the sophistication of the security equipment deployed inside the hotel.

“To stand out, hotels must differentiate themselves with high levels of service, and security is an important piece of that,” said Fredrik Nilsson, general manager, Axis Communications Inc. “The Langham’s decision to install an IP-based surveillance system demonstrates the value in a fully-digital solution. By leveraging both encoder and IP-camera technology, the hotel is able to provide its guests and staff with a priceless amenity: peace-of-mind.”

EDUCATION SECURITY

LOCKING DOWN A CLASSROOM Increasing demands call for immediate sense of securityBy Mike McCoy

According to the Bureau of Justice Sta-tistics, during the 2009-10 school year alone, 85 percent of public schools in the United States reported that one or more incidents had taken place

on campus, amounting to an estimated 1.9 million crimes. This translated to a rate of 40 crimes per 1,000 students enrolled in a public school.

In response to the increasing number of gun-relat-ed incidents and violent crimes occurring in schools nationwide, school districts are looking for more ef-fi cient security and access-control measures. To com-bat these dangers and protect students and faculty, a comprehensive element of security solutions are avail-able, ranging from biometrics identity management

systems and emergency notifi cation devices to moni-toring technologies and full perimeter access control options, all aiming to eliminate the threat of and pre-vent violent intruders from setting foot on campuses.

However, as students, parents and staff make increasing demands for a more immediate sense of security and peace of mind, solutions often appear costly to administrators and security directors as well as diffi cult to implement in a timely and effec-tive manner.

THE INTRUDER FUNCTION Many school district administrators and superinten-dents have started opting for a highly cost-effective product that has been on the market for approximately

20 years to better secure classrooms during the threat of intruder and emergency situations. Used to equip classroom doors, the feature is commonly referred to as an “intruder function,” though many manufacturers have their own respective nomenclature.

The intruder function eliminates a major point of classroom vulnerability by enabling teachers to dis-cretely lock the exterior lever, or thumb piece, from the inside, should they hear or be warned of a dis-turbance directly outside the classroom or in the hall-way. Essentially, teachers and staff are able to lock the exterior of the door without opening it, while the interior lever, or exit device, can remain unlocked, pro-viding safe egress if needed. In doing so, the teacher draws little attention to the students in the room while

0913sec_092_093_McCoy v3.indd 92 8/19/13 9:40 AM


simultaneously increasing the level of classroom security.

The intruder function offers sub-stantial security at a low cost with mini-mal installation time, allowing schools to take preventative actions against vi-olent situations quickly and effectively. This single component offers the fol-lowing to provide an effective response to breached security crises in education facilities:• easy to operate, requiring minimal

effort;• adds to classroom security, with

minimal change to the existing door hardware installation;

• available as an orderable option to common exit devices as well as cy-lindrical and mortise lock platforms;

• offered in a wide variety of fi nishes to accommodate the respective ap-plication environments; and

• can be keyed to fi t the specifi c lock or match existing door openings throughout the facility.Because of these characteristics, the

procurement rate has been on the rise in many school districts as this func-tion is being applied to classrooms, li-braries, study halls and common areas of student learning in schools across the country. For instance, after the no-torious shooting at Columbine High School in Littleton, Colo., in April 1999, manufacturers saw a signifi cant rise in districts purchasing this option in Colorado school districts.

Many educational facilities through-out the United States feel that the mini-mal upcharge and installation effort is a small price to pay when considering the immeasurable value of the added security provided. To that point, many communities have now made the in-truder function a requirement for their respective classroom applications.

PITTSBURGH PUBLIC SCHOOLSMost recently, in what is considered one of the most signifi cant moves to improve school security in Western Pennsylvania, the board of Pittsburgh Public Schools voted unanimously in late April of this year to approve the purchase and installation of 4,400 Best locks with the intruder function from Stanley Security in all 59 schools and early learning centers within the district. This decision was part of the school district’s response to the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting in

Newtown, Conn. that claimed the lives of 26 students and adult staff members on Dec. 14, 2012.

“I applaud any school board that is willing to take additional steps to pro-vide for the safety of their students,” said Donald Smith Jr., emergency plan-ning and response management coor-dinator at the Center for Safe Schools in Camp Hill, Pa. “As much emphasis as we place on students succeeding aca-demically, that success is only possible when students are learning in a safe and secure environment.”

VIRGINIA SCHOOLSA rural, K-12 public school district, located approximately 35 miles north-west of Richmond, Va., chose to install Best locks with the intruder function by Stanley Security in keeping with its continuous efforts to enhance and up-grade security on all of its campuses.

The district currently consists of six schools, including one high school, one middle school and four elementary schools, with students enrolled in pre-K through 12th grade programs. The dis-trict also has an alternative education center for students at both the middle and high school levels, and the high school is equipped with an extensive ca-reer and technical education department with access to a Governor’s School.

The school district, which views the safety of its students and faculty as a top priority, has ramped up security ef-forts over the years in order to secure all entryways, school common areas, hallways and classrooms in the best, most cost-effective ways possible.

“When planning for security en-hancements in any educational setting, it’s important to always take into ac-count currently-installed security, bud-gets, time frames, down-the-road com-patibility and future security goals set by school leadership,” said John John-son, end user consultant for Stanley Security. “First and foremost, though, is landing on a single function, such as locks with the intruder function or a comprehensive solutions package that will immediately augment student and staff safety.”

Stanley Security introduced and in-stalled the locks with the intruder func-tion in this Virginia public school district in 2010. Since then, this school district continues to implement this solution as well as other security features in all new

buildings, upgrades and projects.

NORTHSIDE INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT - TEXASThe Northside Independent School District (NISD) in San Antonio, Tex., a premier school system comprised of 71 elementary schools, 18 middle schools and 15 high schools, adopted the Best locks in 2002, installing approximately 15,000 to 20,000 locks in their new fa-cilities. Since then, the district has con-verted their locks to include the intruder function to better protect their popula-tion of approximately 100,000 students along with 12,500 faculty and staff.

“The decision to install locks with the intruder function in the NISD school environments was made by our Facilities Department more than 10 years ago, in response to all the shoot-ings that were being reported around the country at that time,” said Vince Flores, building trades manager of maintenance and operations at NISD. “And, years later, we believe we made the right decision to include them in all our new facilities in order to ensure the safety of our students and faculty. The intruder function has been a great addi-tion and investment to our district with about a 99 percent success rate. Our goal in the future is to convert all NISD campuses to the intruder lock function and intruder exit devices.”

CREATING A SECURE SCHOOLThis nation is challenged daily with me-dia broadcasting the violence that has encroached upon the safety and lives of our children, teachers and supporting faculty. In the face of such realities, as the ones that have occurred at elemen-tary, secondary and higher education facilities across the country, including those incidents that have lent to the un-fortunate infamy of Columbine High School, Virginia Tech and Sandy Hook Elementary School, every additional security measure that can be taken to better guard classroom environments from unauthorized persons and intrud-ers is a must. The intruder function proves its value as a trusted, signifi cant, access-control feature that cost-effec-tively protects with little disruption to existing door hardware.

“Security measures and practices are designed to slow down an intrud-er...[and] every moment that you can delay an intruder to allow time for law

enforcement to arrive can save count-less lives,” said Brett Bontrager, senior vice president and group executive at Stanley, during a hearing earlier this year before the House of Representa-tives Committee on Education and the U.S. Workforce. “Certainly, no single lock or system is the answer. Each school district should ensure that its school buildings and grounds undergo a site evaluation, a risk assessment and [that] a long-term, comprehensive, security roadmap is developed.”

“Upon completion of the site evalua-tion and risk assessment, decisions must then be made on the level of security needed. By levels of security, I am re-ferring to security products that range from essential hardware and mechanical access equipment, such as door hard-ware—which includes intruder locks and master key systems—to wireless situational awareness monitoring and every solution in between. Each dis-trict can work within their own specifi c needs, considering their budget as well as the local rules and regulations.”

For security directors, facility man-agers, school board members and par-ents in any school community know-ing that such a simple, effective and practical solution exists and can be installed easily in the classroom with minimal door preparation and restruc-turing offers incredible comfort.

“I know we can all agree that keep-ing our children safe in their schools is worth all of our time, all of our collec-tive experience and all of our wisdom,” Bontrager said.

Although installing the intruder lock function in schools may not be the only step to ensure safe learning envi-ronments, it’s a considerable and simple action that can pre-empt an emergency and potentially save lives.

This element of classroom security equipment truly sells itself; the feature is a long-standing, trusted solution that directly addresses the fears and concerns every parent has when dropping his or her child off at the school’s front doors. Installing locks with an intruder function in learning facilities is an essential, pro-active measure to help prevent tragedy.

SUPPORTING TRAVELING VETERANS Vietnam traveling wall is consoling and inspirationalBy Skip Haight

Seen by millions since its dedication in 1982, the American Vietnam Veterans Traveling Tribute (AVVT) Wall is a scaled-down replica of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington,

D.C., but with a specifi c mission: “Create a forum for communities to come together to Honor, Respect and Remember those who have given the ultimate sacrifi ce for their country and to educate all to the Cost of Freedom.”

This year, the Sunset Hills Historical Society of Saint Louis arranged for the AVVT Wall to appear from June 13th through 16th on the grounds of Lind-bergh High School. It was estimated, in advance, that more than 100,000 people would visit this wall during the four-day appearance.

With the potential for that many people gather-ing in one location, keeping everyone safe and secure was paramount. System integration for the event was assigned to ABF Security Systems of Fenton, Mo. Embracing this assignment to provide security to this very visible yet temporary event, Mike Polizzi, presi-dent of ABF Security, turned to respected security industry manufacturer’s representatives R.W. Kunz & Associates, Inc. to recommend a comprehensive solu-tion for this challenge.

R.W. Kunz’s Mark Bowers and Brad Cooper se-

lected equipment from Pelco for the IP camera and recording equipment, and ComNet Communication Networks was chosen to provide the network trans-mission equipment.

Facing the unique challenge of the wall being tem-porarily placed on display, the thought of running ca-bles or using fi ber optic transmission was impractical, so Bowers recommended the all-new, easy-to-install and use ComNet NetWave Wireless Ethernet product line as the perfect solution for this application.

Prior to the installation, a site survey was per-formed, but when the time for the installation came, trailers and tents supporting the event were in the path of the wireless transmission. However, even with these potential obstacles in the line of sight, all the cameras were installed without any trouble. Four rugged IP cameras by Pelco with SureVision, 1.2 Megapixels, day/night, AF, low-light performance and WDR were placed at strategic locations, the fur-thest being 90 yards away from the monitoring loca-tion. Two cameras were observing the backside of the wall, and two more were observing activity from the front. This setup gave complete coverage of the entire event.

To get the video back to the head-end monitoring location, NetWave NW1 point-to-multipoint models were selected, and four NW1 client units were in-

stalled close to the camera locations. The camera out-put was 10 frames per second at a 1280x720 resolu-tion. Using H.264 compression, each camera required 2.5Mbps of bandwidth, with the total from the four cameras using 10Mbps. The IP video was seamlessly transmitted back to a NW1 access point from which the recorded data was collected and fed into a Pelco DSSRV recording system.

This event consistently drew a large crowd, and even though both the wall and the security were con-sidered temporary, there was no doubt as to the long-term effectiveness of the Ethernet product line.

The Saint Louis County Police Department moni-tored the four-day event constantly. No incidents oc-curred and the system operated fl awlessly for the du-ration of the wall’s stay.

When you actually see the American Vietnam Vet-erans Traveling Tribute for the fi rst time, you can’t help but feel incredibly patriotic and proud to think of yourself as an American. The wall is both consol-ing and inspirational, evoking emo-tions for all families whose loved ones have made the ultimate sacrifi ce in defense of our country.

HD BarcodeStores up to 703 kilobytes

Unlike traditional 2D barcodes, the HD Barcode stores up to 703 kilobytes of data allowing detailed comprehensive information, including full color images, and no Internet connection is required. To ensure security, the barcode is generated by using a micro pc “black box” that provides a unique li-cense for a specifi c number of barcodes assigned only to that customer and their printer. Custom Android, iOS Smartphones or code reader applica-tions can scan and decode the barcode, providing conclusive data from images to secure information revealing any diversions or copying of the identifi -cation card.

INDUSTRYPROFESSIONAL By Ralph C. Jensen


While many young adults in their 20s are still fi guring out what they are going to do with their life, Thomas Carnevale was in

the developmental stages of security innovations for his own company. One thing he did have in common with some other “twenty-somethings” was this—he was starting his company from his parent’s basement.

Carnevale, president and CEO of Sentry 360, comes from a long line of entrepreneurs so it was fi t-ting that his father’s basement was the starting place of his business. His grandfather, an entrepreneur in the diamond business and his father, an instrumental part in redefi ning point-of-sale management software, both inspired Carnevale to pursue his dream of being the biggest and best in the security industry.

It all began with an idea to become the best video management software (VMS) manufacturer in the in-dustry. This big idea grew into a valuable learning ex-perience for Carnevale, with great opportunities from W Hotels, Des Plains Public Works and the Chicago Housing Authority.

While work remained consistent from 2004 to 2007, security installations took place predominantly in the Chicagoland area and growth for Carnevale’s small company was on the horizon.

Sentry360 evolved and took on new partners in 2008—partners with development backgrounds, and an expertise in sensors, algorithms and embedded hardware engineering. With a focus on user experi-ence and fi nding a niche, Carnevale was preparing to embark on a tour with new camera technology, while battling a harsh recession. One thing that was in his favor then, and still benefi ts Sentry360 today, is that all Sentry360 products are made in America, by an American-owned company.

Carnevale was eager to share his “made-in-the-USA” products with the world, hoping they would have a great infl uence on the global market. These products proved to be problem-solvers, as the 360-degree fi sh eye camera solved the blind-spot problem in video surveil-lance, reducing labor and maintenance and giving the end user full coverage with persistent detail.

“Our goal was a camera that meets all open archi-tecture specifi cations, and that works with any VMS,” Carnevale said. “We also wanted to introduce a prod-uct that provides lower power consumption, meets certain form factor criteria, adopts H.264 standards and is cost effective.”

Like many other manufacturers, Sentry360 was hit hard by the recession in 2008. While they were fortu-nate it didn’t stop production or shut the company down entirely, it certainly had Carnevale, now 33 years of age, worried about the future of his business.

“My wife is what kept me going,” he said. “She

said if you give-up now you will regret it for the rest of your life. I knew I had her support, so we kept on moving forward.”

Like other small manufacturers, Sentry360 is now experiencing rapid growth and outgrowing their sur-roundings. They are in the process of looking for a

larger facility for shipping, receiving, distribution as well as a comfortable workspace for all employees. Since 2010, the company has grown over 350% in revenue and says 2013 has been a breakthrough year introducing two new locations in Dubai and Turkey. The company’s success is due, in large part, to the em-ployees who have become a family over the years.

“When we fi rst started out, there were three, may-be four of us in the offi ce,” said Liz Brady, operations coordinator at Sentry360. “It feels like we’re adding

new people every month and have several working overseas, where our business is booming.”

At Sentry360, no one person is one-dimensional, and success is a team effort. In support of this idea, the team holds each other accountable by having what they call a “Boulder Meeting” every Monday morning to start the week off on the right foot. Each person takes the time to talk about their successes and challenges.

“We’re focused as a team,” Carnevale said. “We’ve built a community here, and we like to have fun at work and enjoy our successes together. Even though I feel we’ve grown out of the ‘start-up’ phase I like to keep us still in that mind-set. A few of our principals are: inter-dependency and accountability; continuous im-provement, openness and transparency; adaptability and resourcefulness, innovation, creation and growth.”

In the future, Sentry360 expects to see more de-bate on cloud storage, intelligence at the camera and more communication about edge storage. Carnevale believes that his company will take a forward position in higher-resolution cameras, as well as a lower-cost camera so that the majority of security end users will adopt the IP camera more readily than the outdated analog program. “A big mission for us in 2013 was to let the world know Sentry360 does a lot more than just 360° cameras. In the past 2 years we’ve intro-duced a 180° panoramic series & Ultra HD resolution directional cameras,” said Carnevale. “We may even take a stab at the consumer market.”

Carnevale explained how the company is develop-ing a control panel for IP video to work as a health-monitoring platform. It will double as a confi guration tool and monitoring in the cloud for any problems on the server, switches, hard drive, software or problems within the camera system. This will be introduced to the market by sentryView, a Universal IP camera con-fi guration tool where the installation process of up to 250 camera systems takes less than 120 seconds and then have export features to the VMS of choice.

“We want the experience with our products to be elite,” Carnevale said. “We truly believe that if we make our products easy to use, install, and maintain with a careful balance of innovation that keeps us one step ahead of our competitors that we have a recipe for long-term success.”

While it’s been many years since the business oper-ated out of a basement, Carnevale ensures that the same mindset used back then is still being promoted at Sentry360 today. Sometimes, the road less traveled can lead the way in the end.
