1. What is a fire safes? Fire safes are generally broken down into three main categories: Those which will protect paper documents; digital media such as USB sticks or DVDs; or magnetic data tapes such as LTOs, DAT tapes or DLTs. Fire safes and data safes are built differently to protect their contents, as each can withstand different levels of heat: Paper: 177 °C / 350 °F Digital: 120 °C / 248 °F Data: 52 °C / 125 °F Data tapes are sensitive, easily damaged and susceptible to low levels of heat or humidity. The manufacturers recommend maximum exposure to heat must not exceed 52°C or humidity levels of greater than 85%. Thus, data safes are designed to keep the inside of the safe below 85% humidity, whilst also maintaining an internal temperature below 52°C (or about half that of a cup of coffee). 2. Will they protect against a burglar? Yes, they are still a safe at the end of the end of the day and many fire safes are suitable for secure storage for cash and valuables too. Much of what the average house owner keeps in a fire safe is often important documents like passports, house and […]

An Argument for Unannounced (Virtual) Drills. Events can be separated into two categories – conventional and unconventional.  Conventional events happen all the time; we plan for their likelihood, stock equipment and materials, and train accordingly.  These events because we’ve prepared for them are usually managed pretty effectively. Unconventional events, on the other hand are just that – unconventional.  The thought is they are rare events and that traditional mechanism will work.  Both are simply not true. Just read the paper or watch the news.  Rare events happen all the time.  When was the last time you heard a newscaster say, “That was a thousand year event”?  Due to the complex nature of today’s societies, an unconventional event overwhelms resources from the onset and an impact on more than one portion of society; such as, the energy sector directly affects the banking sector or transportation sector and so on.  This ripple effect will become even more pronounced in the future as societies and communities increase in population due to the migration from agriculture to the city. An unconventional event in the 21st century presents us with several opportunities, 1) we have to change our mindset in the way we train, and […]

Vemotion takes the high ground in CCTV in the Highlands. CCTV specialists Vemotion have been praised by the Highlands Council for the delivery of a new CCTV system to the area, covering a large region reaching all the way from Fort William through to Wick. Vemotion were brought in to help the council implement a system that was both affordable and able to operate despite the poor mobile phone signal in much of the Highlands region. With just one public space site left to go, the project is now all but completed. “The Highlands job was a significant undertaking,” says Stewart McCone, the CEO of Vemotion. “For starters, the geographical area being covered is huge. It’s 168 miles, or a four hour drive, from Wick in the North to Fort William in the South. Secondly, we had to contend with limited infrastructure in much of the area we were working in. While Inverness has a good infrastructure, the Scottish Highlands are one of the remotest areas in Britain and obviously this posed a number of challenges. I’m delighted we were able to meet each of these, and demonstrate the abilities of Vemotion.” With a state of the art CCTV control […]

How do you communicate? Communications is vital to our everyday lives, and there are so many ways in which we do it: voice, text, email, tweets, pokes, VIBER, Tikl, WhatsApp, BBM the list is virtually endless.  So much do we take the ability to communicate for granted, that it is often overlooked in the planning phase of operations where, in reality, it should take centre stage. Take the military scenario as an example.  When an operation begins, the very first thing that will be established is a communications link between the front line and those directing operations.  Without it the commanders can neither issue instructions to their forces, nor receive intelligence feedback; without communications they are deaf, dumb, blind and vulnerable and this is true for every other situation from the Boardroom to the Ops Room. When planning an operation in a hostile environment communications takes priority because we expect to have to provide it for ourselves, and this mind-set should be extended to any environment friendly or hostile: sadly that doesn’t always happen and many an operation in a sleepy, leafy suburb has floundered for this very reason. So what are some of the things we should consider from […]

Criminals hate lights. It probably has something to do with the fact that they think they’ll get caught. In well-lit areas, there is certainly a higher probability that someone will notice their presence, unwanted activity and report it. After all, that’s what lighting is all about – the ability to assess behavior. If lighting in an area is good then there is a higher probability that people will frequent the space, not because they can see (although helpful) but because they feel safe. Criminals activity can be effectively reduced and deterred through a process called Crime Prevention through Environmental Design (CPTED). CPTED is not new; it’s been around since the early 90s. What is new is the effective use of lighting in influencing behaviors. Recent research shows us that “our caveman instincts” can be influenced to a significant degree by the amount of luminosity in our surrounding environment. Natural light tells us when to sleep, wake-up and eat. Artificial lighting can change that to some degree, so we stay up later than we should. It can even affect our mood and change our behavior. Why do you think high end restaurants are dimly lit. It’s not because they don’t want […]

Situation Frankston is a dynamic municipality within the southern suburbs of Melbourne, Australia. In recent years the Victorian state government has invested significantly to further enhance this enviable bayside location as a designated tourist destination. With a population already over 120,000 and set to rapidly grow, Frankston City Council desperately needed to upgrade and streamline their security management system and processes. Before the upgrade, each of the Council’s 10 different sites had a standalone Inner Range Concept 4000/Insight solution with each site managing its own cardholders. Accuracy of cardholder data across the 10 sites was a real concern due to the manual process required to update records. Task The requirements for Frankston City Council were simple but two-fold: they needed a robust and user-friendly system that would build upon the existing Concept 4000 infrastructure and a single system that would easily accommodate a multi-site architecture, thus reducing the inefficiencies of individually managing 10 sites. It was also important that the new system was future proof with a scalable modular design, could integrate with third party systems if required, was competitively priced with no lock-in contracts (or annual fees) and could seamlessly utilise the Council’s existing wired, wireless and WAN based […]

Top Ten Tips for Communication Success PLANNING – Plan the communications element of your operation as thoroughly as you would any other aspect: if you don’t know how, don’t be afraid to ask someone who does. SELECTION – Choose the right technology; as a rule of thumb use UHF for big cities and VHF for more rural settings. HEIGHT – The more height you can get for your antenna the further you will be able to communicate. MOVEMENT – Movement clears blackspots; even moving a few metres can make the difference between a call getting through or not. GO DIGITAL – Analogue radios are still with us and will be for a long time, but the future is digital. ACCESSORISE – Research audio accessories and choose the right one for the task; having a variety to choose from gives you options. BATTERIES – Make sure you have enough for the duration of the task; two spare batteries per radio is ideal and will give 24 hour usage. CHARGING – As with laptops and tablets and phones, charge your batteries whenever you get the chance. ANTENNAS – Consider different antenna options for both portables (handhelds) and mobiles giving you operational flexibility. […]

Secure Mobile Phones – an affordable solution. We are often asked to advise clients on which is the best system to ensure secure communications when using their mobile or desk based telephones. The selection is difficult, and there are as many pitfalls as there are choices. Many options are simply not as secure as they claim to be, others skirt round the security issues present when using third party servers for traffic routing and key identification. You are unlikely to be told that the ‘secure voice’ app you downloaded is only really as secure as the device onto which it is loaded, and as if this is not enough, the price is often the key decider, with many of the better solutions being simply too expensive. But that has now changed. In association with 5Pro Software, G6 has launched the LYNX7 secure voice service. This system is fully secure using the latest in encryption and protection techniques. We guarantee never to use 3rd party servers for any part of the call set-up or routing and all LYNX7 devices are fully hardened to ensure that Trojans, Viruses and Spyware simply cannot find their way onto the terminal. The LYNX7 Subscription Service […]

A Master NTP Server that saves time and money. Network Time Synchronization is important: every aspect of maintaining an IT or security surveillance network requires accurate knowledge of when events have happened. If you were to assume that the little clock on the bottom right hand corner of your screen was inherently accurate you would be sadly disappointed. Many clocks which support network devices, IT servers or workstations are rarely checked after an initial manual setup, and backed-up by a battery-based, clock-calendar programme that has no capacity for negating time drift which can sometimes amount to 1 second per day and perhaps minutes, or hours, over longer periods. Considering that DVR and NVR systems should run unattended for months, or years, to allow this to happen in an environment where the veracity of evidential data requires accurate time-stamping is not appropriate. Trying to accurately match time logs between IP devices on a network without synchronised time is a challenge, perhaps impossible, as this is the only frame of reference between all IP devices. Implications exist when time is mis-matched: financial services may be legally required to demonstrate accurate timekeeping; security breaches and CCTV data must match timestamps to be effective.

Design in preventing mass casualties. We all have a responsibility to ensure the places where people work and live will provide them relative safety from a variety of threats, natural and man-made, writes Doug Haines. Protecting people in occupied space is paramount to building design. Normally, this is done through a series of government regulations concerning building construction codes. The goal is to ensure people are protected from the elements and threats, and that the building itself doesn’t become the hazard. So, as part of the design process, everyone on the design team, has an inherit responsibility in applying strategies, whether regulatory or industry “best practice” that manages or mitigates threats to people in the buildings they occupy. Toward this goal, a concept that has been around since the late 1990s is Crime Prevention through Environmental Design. It is commonly known by its acronym CPTED. CPTED incorporates four principles of design. CPTED is founded on the idea that crime can be designed out of the environment. CPTED implements the following four approaches: • natural surveillance – the placement of physical features, activities and people in a way to maximize visibility; • natural access control – physically guiding people through a […]

Weary of Relentless Bad News Stories? British Manufacturing Has the Antidote. Martyn Ingram is the Group Director of Morgan GRP, the parent company of Morgan Marine and Envico Engineering. Morgan Marine is a leading manufacturer of security housings, enclosures and products designed to protect Critical National Infrastructure in the utilities, construction, nuclear, rail and renewables sectors – as a group of companies, between 80 and 90 percent of the power distributed in mainland UK has passed through one of their enclosures. Here, Martyn talks about the dangers of Britain talking itself into a slump – and how the public perception of the UK’s output, buoyancy and stability would be far more positive, and more accurate, if they could be persuaded to tune into the legion of good news stories unfolding within manufacturing and engineering. If you are in the habit of spending time on social media, tuning in to the evening news, or reading a national newspaper, you might be forgiven for thinking Britain’s economy, productivity and prospects are on their last legs. While we are living in challenging times, has there ever been an era when it has been a simple task to balance the British economy, the needs of a growing and diverse populace, and the many and various […]

London, England (June 21, 2016) – Purple Parking, the largest off airport car park operator in the UK, has improved operations and increased efficiency at London’s Heathrow Airport using Morse Watchmans’ KeyWatcher key management system. With their 38 distinctive purple buses, numerous company cars and 110 drivers on site at the five-terminal airport, Purple Parking uses their automated KeyWatcher system to control vehicle usage and improve driver accountability. The KeyWatcher system is used to regulate, store and track keys for vehicles used to transport customers between the various Purple Parking facilities and the airport. Keys are kept in the tamper-proof cabinet when not in use, and only pre-programmed authorized users can access a vehicle key during their working hours. All access activity is automatically recorded, allowing management to view live or recorded data showing which keys are out and with whom, and when the keys were returned or are scheduled to be returned. To help ensure operational control, if a key is returned late, an alert is sent to management via email or SMS text. “The KeyWatcher thoroughly suits our purpose at the airport,” says Jim Betchley, Transportation Manager at Purple Parking. “Among other features, the tracking and reporting functions […]

Innovative has recently launched a new module called “Automatic Alarm Receiving Centre”. In that regard, we are releasing a short video demonstrating how Automatic ARC works. Automatic Alarm Receiving Centre is a module, which in case of an alarm, automatically begins dialing contacts – one by one. The first contact to answer the call will be informed by a reader that an alarm has been generated on a given zone. The contact is then presented with different options, such as disposing of the alarm, requesting a guard be dispatched to the address or talking to an operator at the ARC. This way, contacts themselves now have the opportunity to initially “screen” an alarm in order to determine its subsequent path. Watch the video here. Learn more about Automatic Alarm Receiving Centre here. Gallery
