This trip involved driving and using cog-wheel trains and cable cars and reaching the Jungfraujoch, the Top of Europe.

CATOCA official visit. In 1990 “Total Recall”, the science fiction movie starring Arnold Schwarzenegger, visualized the technology that didn’t exist at that time – a full body security scanner. In the shots below one can see how Schwarzenegger undergoes an “X-ray inspection” at the customs and border control zone in order to detect prohibited or dangerous items such as firearms hidden under his clothes: Not long after ADANI invented this technology and implemented it in a unique device – a personal X-ray inspection system with an extremely low radiation dose. In the photo below one can see the first production model of CONPASS. CONPASS is an innovative X-ray system for scanning people and preventing illicit trafficking of weapons, explosives, drugs and other contraband. The first customer of this unique scanner under the serial number 001 was CATOCA diamond mine from Angola searching in 1999 the solution to prevent the theft of diamonds. Today these CONPASS units are still working to a high standard. During the 20 years of cooperation with CATOCA the CONPASS units installed have made over 1 million scans. These have helped significantly lowering and preventing the number of thefts.  While visiting ADANI the representatives of CATOCA got acquainted with the latest […]

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

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 […]

July 2017, Mayflex uncovers fraudulent activities whereby the fraudsters are pretending to work for accredited customers and have ordered goods to be shipped directly to bogus ‘end user’ sites. In a number of separate instances, the fraudsters have targeted accredited Paxton partners, they’ve called the Mayflex sales team saying that they are from the company, asked for quotes for various Paxton product codes and having created ‘copycat’ email addresses, to look very similar to those of the individual companies in question, to fool our teams into thinking that when the orders were placed that they were legitimate. The names of the individuals to look out for in these examples are Mike Andrews, Marvin Taylor and Ian Green – we have passed the information and details across to the police who are now pursuing this matter further.

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

With the issue of national security at the front of everyone’s mind, utility companies and their suppliers, not to mention Government ministers and advisors, have never been more aware of the importance of keeping the nation’s water supply and its critical national infrastructure and equipment secure. The Centre for the Protection of National Infrastructure (CPNI) has advised public sector organisations which own parts of the Critical National Infrastructure, on design improvements to protect them from the effects of chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear (CRBN) agents. And measures have been taken by all of our water companies to safeguard against chemical and physical attack. All water utilities new build sites will be obliged to meet the current Government directives but, of course, the far bigger challenges come from bringing existing, ageing sites up to date so they too meet these high standards. Sue Paton, Sales and Commercial Director of Morgan Marine, who design, engineer and manufacture security housings from their Carmarthenshire HQ, alongside a wide range of LPCB accredited product such as doors, access covers, barsets and cages for the utilities industries, says: “Much work has been done across Britain to bring our water infrastructure up to date. “But of course […]

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 […]

Want to Sell More Safes this Month – Act Now. Traditionally many government subsidised or fully funded authorities are provided with an annual budget that runs from 1st April to 31st March. This means that they often try to ensure every penny of their budget for the current financial year is spent by the end of March, to make sure that their budget is fully replenished for the following financial year. So, if you are a supplier to the public sector then let these customers know that they can buy Phoenix Safes from you. Products such as our Fire Ranger FS1510 Series Fire Cupboards and the FS2250 Series World Class Vertical Fire Files sell fast in March as they provide large storage capacities for the protection of paper records. These kinds of products are ideal for the ‘Budget Burn’ that many of these organisations do in March. Gallery

A rubbish dumper caught at a fly-tipping trouble spot was left with an £854 bill and told to use the council-run recycling centre which is ‘a lot cheaper’. Mahroof Madasar appeared in Nottingham Magistrates Court after he was been spotted on CCTV dumping waste at a car park Colwick Crossings. The 33-year-old, of Port Arthur Road, Sneinton, told the court he is now aware of the recycling centre on Redfield Road in Lenton. Presiding magistrate Stephen Dowling said: “We are proud of our city. This sort of thing is an awful problem and the city of Nottingham has its share of it. You have caused it this time.” The JP then asked him: “Are you aware of the household recycling site on Redfield Road? It’s a lot cheaper.” Madasar replied: “Definitely. I knew nothing at the time and have now found it is available.” He was fined £100 but must also pay Nottingham City Council’s costs of £734 plus a £20 government surcharge. The hearing was told that four bags of household rubbish were left in a corner of the car park at 10.32pm on April 3, 2016. Tamazin Wilson, prosecuting, said: “It is a fly tipping hotspot and the […]

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 […]
