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 […]

Personal computer/Smart card or PC/SC is a standard that allows computers to interface with smartcards, and is available on most operating systems, including Windows and Linux. It has been developed to facilitate the introduction of smart cards into the world of PCs. The advantage of PC/SC is that applications do not have to connect through a specific and different interface of the smart card reader to communicate with the smart card. This application can function with any reader that complies with the PC/SC standard. At the time that PC/SC was designed, smartcards were only contact cards. When it comes to RFID (such as Mifare or LEGIC for instance), RFID readers often fail to comply with PC/SC. Fortunately, ProxTech’s MULTITOP PC/SC readers enables the use of MIFARE or LEGIC cards on PC/SC systems, by using an embedded interpreter, converting “classical smartcard commands” into efficient sequences to use with RFID tags. With the MULTITOP PC/SC reader, every smartcard or RFID application which uses the unique serial number according to PCSC 2.01, is now able to access also the proprietary technology of LEGIC advant and LEGIC prime without any further effort. In order to allow the use of the complete functions set of […]

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 […]

Watford Football Club invests in premier league CCTV, with Redvision. Watford Football Club has recently invested in a high-level, 70-camera, IP CCTV system. Designed to ensure spectator safety during matches and other events, the new system also provides public safety, site security and site management. Full HD cameras now cover the stadium bowl and pitch; protect key external approaches and turnstiles; and view the internal concourse. Watford FC was founded in 1881 as a third division club. It steadily progressed through football’s ranks to achieve First Division status in the 1980’s under the late Graham Taylor’s tenure and whilst owned by Sir Elton John. The club qualified for a place in the UEFA Cup and reached the FA Cup Final at that time. Since 2015, Watford FC has reached football’s top flight, with a place in the FA Premier League. This has significantly increased demand for high quality safety and security provision.

Sir Elton John continues to serve as an Honorary Life President of the club, a role he had shared with the late Graham Taylor. Watford FC, whose […]

Innovative launches an advanced “speech robot”, which automatically dials contacts in case of an alarm. When the contact answers the call, the robot then reads out the alarm using voice synthesis. The contact can then decide what to do with the alarm. Innovative launches an advanced “speech robot”, which automatically dials one or more contacts in case of an alarm. When the contact answers the call, the robot asks the contact to enter his/her Passcard. The robot then proceeds to read out the alarm and the available options using Text-to-speech (TTS) voice synthesis. The contact then selects which action to perform, such as disposing the alarm directly or talk to an operator. Example of a typical flow with the robot: ISM receives a low battery alarm from a wireless smoke alarm. The robot automatically dials the first contact on the contact list. The contact answers the phone. The robot says: “This is the alarm receiving centre with an important message. Please enter your Passcard. “ The contact enters his/hers Passcard. The robot says: “Alarm from zone 2. Please replace the battery. Press 1 to dispose the alarm. Press 2 to dispatch a guard. Press 9 to talk to an operator. […]

Did you know that adding security measures after the design process has reached the 35% designed phase can increase the cost of a construction project by 20%-30% in the short term and much more in the long term?  Think about it.  This factor is caused by the need to re-design and restructure the utility schemes so that the additional security features that are added can be accommodated.  Adding security solutions at the beginning of a project may add a mere 2% to the overall project costs.  Let’s look at why. Most buildings are designed for aesthetics and not for the threats that the building or occupants must face – whether those threats are man-made or from natural causes.  Architects love to get their creative juices down on paper.  The more intriguing the design the better they feel.  On the other hand engineers, look at blueprints or plans and ask the question, why is this like that when it would be more logical if it were like this instead.   When I joke with my engineer friends I recite this old axiom; Positive people see the glass as half-full, while negative people see it as half-empty.  Engineers want to know why the […]

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. Commenting on the incident Martin Eccleston, Commercial Manager commented ‘We are taking further steps to help distinguish these fraudulent activities at the earliest stages and where products are being delivered directly on site, in future we will put further checks in place to check that the order is genuine before being shipped. This won’t cause any delay to our customers and orders will be […]

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 […]

ProxTech International, developer of NFC/RFID read-/write systems, is offering two new RFID COMPACT modules, based on LEGIC and NXP reader chips. LEGIC and MIFARE DESFire modules with USB interface Modern applications often require versatile modules for integration in a wide range of terminals and machines. This integration is commonly done via standard communication methods such as USB or serial RS23 TTL or RS485 interfaces. Mostly also space is a very important criterium, thus making dimensions of the integration module very important. To meet these modern requirements, extremely small compact modules have been developed for LEGIC, MIFARE and MIFARE DESFire applications with integrated USB interface. The RFID LEGIC module and the RFID Mifare module are pin-compatible, i.e. the modules are interchangeable one-to-one, offering significant advantages of flexibility of integration of RFID. During the development, special goals were set for compact dimensions (31 x 26 x 4 mm) and technical integration flexibility (3.3 V DC to 5,0V DC). For customizations, 4 digital I/O ports are optionally available for the user. The simple command structure makes it possible to integrate the module in a wide range of applications without much effort. The data transfer is done standard via USB (HID mode, keyboard emulation) […]

If you are a two-way radio user, and you work in and around London, then you need to know the answer to the question “What is THE GRID”. THE GRID is G6’s London-wide secure, digital radio network.  Coverage extends within the North/South circular for users with a low-power hand portable radio, and to the M25 (and beyond) for users with a high power vehicle mounted radio.  This provides coverage at an amazing amount of key venues in and around London such as Heathrow Airport, London City Airport, Battersea Heliport and all of the major sporting venues across Central & Greater London. Unlike many other two-way radio companies, we do not overload our network with users in order to maximise profit.  We give a guaranteed Grade of Service of 95%, meaning that 95% of calls will go through first time. THE GRID is not open to just anyone.  We only allow users whose radio-communications are ‘Mission Critical’ to use the network.  Typical users include: Close Protection Teams Surveillance Operators Residential Security Teams Static & Mobile Security Patrols Secure Couriers Emergency Service Special Units Government Affiliated Agencies Access to THE GRID is not prohibitively expensive, with basic service starting at just £35.00 per […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

Glass has cemented itself as the architects’ medium of choice. Renzo Piano’s majestic ‘Shard’ in London is Europe’s tallest building and the envelope continues to be well and truly pushed elsewhere around the globe in pursuit of construction utopia. Whilst designed to be aesthetically pleasing and more environmentally efficient, modern office blocks and other notable public buildings, shrouded in vast, architect-inspired expanses of glass, still remain vulnerable in the event of a terrorist attack. Buildings with significant areas of unprotected glass and there are hundreds just in London alone, pose a dangerous risk to life in the event of a bomb blast. According to London based secure glazing and counter-terror buildings specialist, Advanced Glass Technology, at least half of all flat glass in the City is unprotected. Continuing high threat levels across Europe mean that investment in protecting personnel and infrastructure should be a major priority for property owners and facilities managers in urban areas. Having delivered a number of building protection projects in the capital as well as in the Middle East over the past 15 years, AGT is urging property owners to ensure adequate measures are in place, as part of their Corporate Social Responsibility, to mitigate the […]
