COMMUNICATION SOLUTIONS 1. Push to Talk services - Push To Talk is a National two-way radio service for businesses that prefer the stability of mobile

phones instead of traditional two-way radio systems. Push to Talk utilizes national cell phone networks for communication. Similar to two-way radios, broadcasts can be made to everyone on the network, but with Push to Talk, users can now communicate one-on-one, one too many or in Broadcast Groups. Push-to-Talk allows instant voice communication to all mobile users on the network. This function allows staff to focus on the job at hand while being supported by highly stable, reliable and endless communication. Push-to-Talk is a simple, yet effective application which can be incorporated into almost any modern day mobile smartphone. It therefore reduces the need for additional mobile radios should users already have a compatible handset. Rugged devices can also be utilised as regular mobile phones. There is no need to carry both a mobile phone and radio devices.

2. Push to IM -Push to IM (Instant Message), offers real time, unlimited instant messaging on any RG 310 mobile device or

smartphone. Unlike SMS text messaging, the Push to IM presence indicator lets users know which members are online and available, ensuring messages are delivered to the right person exactly when needed. RG 310’s “Push to” applications offer multiple communication applications in a single presence list. Members can be grouped into Push-to-Talk groups. The “contact list” indicates the availability status of the members and allows users to not only PTT available members, but also to send instant messages to the entire contact list, single users or multiple users at once. Your Push to IM application is an extension to your mobile device. This application can be incorporated into a control room installed on most modern PC Computers. Push to IM is a complimentary service included with RG 310’s Push-to-Talk application. RG 310's Push to IM service allows a workforce to transmit short, text-based messages between any users regardless of whether they are fixed (PC based) or mobile. Fully integrated with the Push to Talk service, this enhances the end user experience and mitigates the need to use separate, potentially more expensive alternatives. FAQ

3. “IoT (Internet of Things) Management Solutions”

Today’s management platforms need to do more than surveillance, more even than security. In an

Internet of Things (IoT) world, these platforms are going to be expected to monitor and manage

almost anything electronic that is able to send and receive a signal.

So, whether it’s a camera, an air conditioner, the company parking lot, a PA system or the moisture levels in the corporate gardens, management platforms are going to be required to interact with, customise and control these electronic systems, and more. The days of buying a VMS and creating a simple video management control room are over. Of course there are companies that will opt for a VMS-only approach for their immediate requirements, but they will soon find their operations split into silos where a unique product has to be installed for different functions, requiring unique skills and different service providers. But some would say this is acceptable if you get limited management capabilities for free, or at least for a lower cost. If you want to get the most out of your equipment and operations, however, you do need a full-service management platform able to integrate different aspects of your security and other operational functions into a single interface. Choosing the one suited to your company and its unique needs is not a simple task.

The case for open standards

Open standards and standards-based platforms get a lot of attention these days. The idea is that openness means integration will be simple, providing the end-user with a better solution and fewer coding hassles. However, there are products which are open, and those which are ‘open’. Some claim to be compliant to international standards, but only do so in a limited fashion. When you try to do a full integration there are suddenly problems and incompatibilities that require the services of skilled programmers.

The question is, how can users be sure the platform they choose really uses open standards and does not also include proprietary software or codecs that favour a specific vendor’s products? This is a case where you only realise your mistake after the bill is paid and you’re stuck with a particular brand – which is good for the vendor in the short term, but not for the user.

The reality is that a client can only depend on known and trusted manufacturers with reputations for honesty and transparency. “During the assessment process, the client should always be mindful of the complexity of the platform and the documented ease of implementation and use. As a rule of thumb, a good platform with open interfaces will also be very easy to install and configure, with no stated limitations on the brand or classification of devices that it can manage.

“The after-sales agreement should also reflect this malleability – you should not have to call a technician to come and connect your new camera to the platform. A little research will reveal all, and should safeguard the client from lock-in platforms.”

“This [open standards] is truly something most users neglect to investigate when looking into platforms. “Standards are there mainly to ensure interoperability, but to also provide you with the peace of mind that the investment in your infrastructure will be secured through the freedom of choice. Being locked into a single vendor platform binds you to their views of the future and it restricts your growth, therefore, I believe that end-to-end solutions are dead-end solutions.”

Making the platform decision

Of course, all this does not make it any less difficult to decide which management platform you should select for your specific needs. It would be great if there was a checklist from which one could select a few answers and then know what system to buy. Sadly, that doesn’t happen.There is no simple answer to the question of how to determine which platform is right for you. He advises users to analyse what they want to achieve, for example, whether the system is used for live monitoring or just recording, whether they need black-screen monitoring or real time (or a combination of both). From this, they can ascertain how they want their control room to operate.

WESRIC


“One cannot expect an operator to sit and watch hundreds of cameras and make informed decisions on something he sees, it is just not practical, so a good understanding of the objectives is required,”

Its has been found that when people have a list of requirements, the list is sometimes created based on a desire to avoid past mistakes. “The list is not necessarily always complete or comprehensive, but one thing is for certain, they do not want to be caught unprepared again. “End customers rely on their partners/integrators to provide them with information because they sometimes are not up-to-date with the latest trends or technology.

“Full integration of all business support systems appeals to most companies. The ability to add on the fly, pay as you grow and protect your people and investments should be at the top of the list when it comes to deciding factors.”

One the other hand, clients don’t need the vendor or installer as sole source of opinion or guidance. Client awareness has now reached a point where knowledge of connectivity, collaboration and application is common, and the client can often make informed decisions with very little guidance from an outside source. “As a matter of fact, we often find ourselves challenged by the ingenuity of our clients’ new ideas, and their inventive use of basic IoT concepts.”

In the real world

“Synapse’s dynamic business rule framework was applied, and allowed the real-time maintaining of power and consumption levels inside client constructed parameters. The hardware was also installed into a solar energy array, and Synapse was used to balance the energy input/load output ration of the circuit, ensuring optimal use of the supplied energy. This was achieved without any customised coding or scripting.”

Synapse management platform is currently “counting cement bags at Lafarge cement in Zambia, using video analytics to warn store managers that their queues are getting too long in retail stores, using licence plate recognition to inform institutions that VIP vehicles are arriving at their premises so they can provide better service, and have integrated with weighing scales in gold mines to provide a video/transaction database.”

In the final analysis, there are many management platforms available today, from free systems with limited capabilities and integrations, to more costly ones that can do almost anything. The responsibility is on the buyers to understand what they require and then to look for something that meets their needs and is able to scale and adapt to their changing needs over the next few years. And it’s worth remembering, we are living in a digital age and simply watching your cameras on a screen is unlikely to deliver much value over the long term. Buying cheap is always a temptation, but living with cheap is often a nightmare.

What is Synapse?

Synapse is an Internet of Things platform with real-time collaboration abilities. Synapse can not only integrate and control a vast array of technologies, but also offer the ability to allow these technologies to co-operate (collaborate) in an autonomous, productive fashion. The addition of powerful business rule frameworks, and real-time analytical algorithms, have created a management platform that assimilates less complex devices into a coherent global solution that offers abilities that exceeds that of any of the constituent systems.

A simple ceiling fan, a basic thermostat and a little clever wiring creates a complex environmental management system capable of not only maintaining the optimal temperature in an environment, but, with the help of Synapse’s analytics and business rule features, also a climate control system capable of maintaining said environment optimally based on time of day, season or weather conditions.

The system’s polymorphic nature allows the creation of endless collaborations, and allows the use of Synapse in more traditional industries such as PSIM, building management and process control. This concept is further enhanced through the inclusion of powerful mobility interfaces (such as complete IoT control from any authorised mobile device), a complete asset management module spanning asset registers, maintenance and repair all the way to total cost of ownership control, a complete cost control backbone and powerful cloud-based management reporting mechanisms. Synapse is the definition of IoT taken to the next level.

WESRIC


The basis for any management platform is integration, the ability to attach a variety of products to

the database and manage them from a single console without having to worry about how they are

communicating and what protocols each device may or may not understand.

When it comes to security management platforms, from video management through to PSIM (physical security information management) and the latest CSIM (converged security and information management) platforms, integration is key to them all. With the products you want to manage under control, vendors can add in value-added services in the form of software (and hardware in some cases) that will allow users to more intelligently manage and control their infrastructure.

The value in a platform is therefore dependent on what and how many third-party devices can be integrated, what the system allows you to do in terms of managing them, and the ease with which these devices can be added to a system. The ability to add additional products is key here as organisations don’t want to find they are stuck with limited options as they expand or as they adopt new technologies.

The availability of APIs (application programming interfaces) or SDKs (software development kits) that will allow users or their partners to add in additional, unsupported devices is also key. Sometimes the platform vendors will do the integration for clients if it is a broadly used product or technology they want added, at other times the user will have to sort it out by themselves, which requires a significant programming skill set.

Of course, the integration capabilities are really dependent on the openness of the platform and the devices you want to add. This is why making sure the technology you purchase adheres to a specific open standard is important, and why we are seeing a consistent drive to IP surveillance. Sadly, there are companies who claim open standards, only to surprise developers when they want to integrate into their technology. The consensus is that these companies have a limited lifespan if they don’t learn to play nicely with others.

As happens in every industry, the security market has seen management platforms growing up in silos. For example, many camera manufacturers will offer a management platform for cameras that does not play well with others and aren’t able to integrate other products, such as access control, while others offer solutions that integrate third-party applications and devices to a point, but don’t allow full integration – presumably to protect their intellectual property.

Unfortunately, the days of proprietary solutions are also coming to an end as more end users realise the benefits of being able to select best-of-breed solutions as and when they require. A current example of this is the move into IP-based access control and away from proprietary systems that lock users into one vendor’s products. It’s a great way to get annual revenue, but don’t ask for brand loyalty or commitment.

More importantly, as we move into an IoT (Internet of Things) era, the end-user is not going to be happy with different platforms managing different parts of their organisation. If an application can manage your cameras, why not your access and alarms too, and what about your passives? Then you can add in HVAC (heating, ventilation and air conditioning) systems and basically anything electronic you can think of – such as the timer for watering the garden. So what options are there for users today?

Synapse

More of an IoT platform than strictly a security platform. . More importantly, the end users should not have to struggle to get their management platform working, but it should be a case of pointing and clicking to get devices connected, integrated and working together.

To this end, Synapse has a host of protocols coded into it that will allow for the easy connection with products, from cameras to alarms and access control, through to perimeter protection solutions and even lights air conditioners and almost anything electronic.The manner in which this happens is by simply allowing Synapse to browse your network and find devices is can speak to – this may be over IP, RS-485 or another protocol or API. The user then simply clicks and draws a line between systems – such as between a controller and an alarm or passive – to link them. This will tell the AI (the artificial intelligence unit within Synapse) everything it needs to know about how the devices collaborate.

The idea is to make the whole system plug-and-play, ensuring the management of your infrastructure is a simple task that doesn’t require an engineer or complex coding. Setting up your management platform in this manner is more of a DIY job than a task for specialised technicians. If a protocol is used that is not already catered for in the system, it can be added, but this will require some coding from Synapse engineers.

Synapse is designed to enable autonomous action by the software. When something happens, you don’t want to have to rely on an operator to close or open doors, switch on lights and other simple tasks. The system does it automatically, leaving the operator to handle more sophisticated jobs.

The Synapse interface can be a site map, with icons representing the various devices it is managing (of course, different situations and circumstances will require different interfaces). When an event occurs, an icon will flash and clicking on it will provide the operator with all the information they require. This is useful in situations where lights are left on, doors left open or air conditioners are left running after hours. The operator can simply switch them off or lock the doors with a mouse click and will be alerted if someone changes the state of the devices.

In the case of more serious events, standard operating procedures (SOPs) can be created, again with a few mouse clicks that will determine the full process that needs to happen when something goes wrong. By selecting an action icon, events can be scheduled in the order they must happen, and actions taken. Electronic devices can be set to automatically react when an event occurs, while operators will receive instructions on what they must do.

For example, if Synapse has a thermometer connected, it can automatically switch on the air conditioning when the temperature rises above a certain level. Then, when the temperature is at an acceptable level, Synapse will automatically switch the air conditioning off. Another example is when an alarm is raised, cameras can be set to point to the event and bring their views up on a screen. In case of a fire alarm, all the doors in the building can be set to unlock automatically, the lights will switch on and the elevators can be stopped. Audio warnings can also be broadcast while the fire department is called automatically. After the event, a similar SOP will ensure that the environment reverts to its original state – doors are locked etc., and the operators will give the all clear once all systems report in.

Synapse users basically draw pictures on their screen to set up collaboration and SOPs, while the system does the rest. This includes external communications, such as alerting an armed response unit in the field. Synapse automatically calculates which unit will get to the location fastest – by looking at the routes those in the vicinity will have to take, not just who is closest – and alerting them on their mobile devices or in-car tablets. If the company has enabled the technology, video feeds can also be sent to the cars. ( mobile app is available linked to Synapse.)

In the end

When it comes to selecting a management platform, buyers need to be aware of what they are buying. As cameras and other devices become commoditised, one needs to look at what will add value to your installation. You don’t buy a car because of the tyres, they are easily bought and added when required; you look at the engine and how it will meet your requirements over the life of the vehicle, and add the tyres you prefer as you need them.

Synapse is a developed complex software solution, but the goal is to ensure that the complexity is hidden from the user, making it as easy as possible to add and control third-party products. There are, of course, many other products on the market, meaning buyers need to do their homework before opting for a management platform to ensure they get a reliable product with a history of innovation and support for diverse products and technologies. Moreover, a solution that supports open standards is no longer negotiable. Monitoring is a pioneering way in which to monitor and control businesses premises via control room environment. The proposed solution is defined as an implementation of our ,PSIM Intermediate level software for specific security management and surveillance requirements, fully integrated with fence-,surveillance-, alarm-, access control-, visitor announcement systems, CCTV etc. Historically, the effectiveness of monitoring was limited by the quality of the person monitoring the installation or merely as a reactive recording tool for criminal activity that had taken place. Synapse supports multiple interface methodologies ranging from basic browser-based interfaces to mobile touch points. In addition, Synapse implements a highly adaptive and aggressive business rule engine, empowering the client with decision making and reactive systems perfectly moulded to the company's business processes and operational requirements.

Historically, the effectiveness of monitoring was limited by the quality of the on-site guard monitoring the installation or merely as a reactive recording tool for criminal activity that has taken place. Remote monitoring, in turn, has been hampered to date by Insufficient bandwidth required to properly transmit high resolution video imagery. The data solutions last mile access into a customer’s premises resolves this issue, as the mostly uncontended bandwidth required for voice, video or data transmission can also be utilised for this service – without incurring any additional costs to enable Guardian Eye. This is especially relevant for after-hours monitoring where the client’s Vox Telecom links are underutilised. Our offering can include a24-hour event driven service, for example, remote access control. The client has access to all on-site recordings and can view such via web access.

FENCING - Deter, Detect, Delay. A high voltage shock combined with a physical electric fence barrier will deter anyone from attempting to penetrate the perimeter fence. The detecting ability and power of an electric fence energizer will give an alarm when the perimeter of the property being protected has been infiltrated. By keeping the perimeter protected using an electric fence, the attempted break in of the protected area is delayed, giving additional time for a reaction team to respond.
