Siemens donates 1 million Euros to earthquake victims

Siemens AG and Siemens Healthineers have provided immediate assistance of €500,000, respectively, to help the victims of the earthquake in Turkey and Syria and to support rescue efforts. In addition, both companies have called on their employees for donations – every euro donated by their employees will be matched.

“Our thoughts are with the victims, with their families, with all those affected,” said Roland Busch, President and CEO of Siemens AG. “We want to help, so we have. Together with Siemens Healthineers, we’ve already provided €1 million in immediate assistance. That’s a start. Siemens Caring Hands, our charitable organization, is currently surveying the situation to see what else we can do.”

Through Siemens Caring Hands e.V. the company’s charitable organization, the donations will be provided to selected relief organizations, which use the money to provide aid measures in the affected countries in the event of disasters – the measures range from tents and accommodation to technical support, food and drinking water, and basic medical care.

What makes a security camera good for low light

Nighttime surveillance is a critical component in security. In this regard, a low light IP camera can play a key role. In this article, we take a closer look at low light security cameras and explore related topics, including the technology behind low light surveillance camera systems.

Night vision vs thermal vs infrared (IR) security cameras

There are three main types of cameras used for low light capturing: a specialized low light or night vision camera with lens, sensor and image signal processor catered to low light capturing; IR illuminated and thermal.

Infrared (IR) night vision cameras come with illuminators that can transmit infrared light for detailed low light images. True day/night cameras have an IR cut-off filter that can filter infrared during the daytime. The surveillance cameras feature smart IR technology that adjusts the infrared light output to the scene accordingly. A proper site assessment would be necessary to determine if the maximum illuminator distance is enough to adequately light up the area for low light imagery.

Thermal cameras rely on radiation emitted from the object instead of visible light. The hotter an object is, the more radiation it emits. The heat sensor in the thermal security camera detects heat signatures and renders them as distinct objects in a thermal image. This makes them ideal for monitoring commercial, residential areas or government installations with little to no light or areas with poor visibility due to fog or smoke. New technologies such as bi-spectral cameras, AI and video analytics are making today’s thermal cameras even more powerful, expanding their use in end-user organizations.

What does a night vision camera do

A night vision camera comes with good lowlight capabilities to capture images well during the night and in other challenging lighting conditions. This is important as many criminal activities take place during the night. According to the US Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention, the number of violent crimes committed by adults peaks at 9 p.m. The best night vision security camera, then, can capture good lowlight images that can serve as forensic evidence for law enforcement officers investigating crimes. It should also be noted that besides low light capturing, these low light cameras are beneficial in scenarios where using illumination is not ideal – either due to cost or the need for covert video capture.

Due to the security camera features and characteristics, they are suitable for a range of applications. “Typical applications are places where there is no supplemental lighting or where cameras with integrated or external IR are not desired. Some of these user cases can be critical infrastructure, parks, shops, or city surveillance,” said Aaron Saks, Senior Technical Marketing and Training Manager at Hanwha Techwin.

“The first, most common use case is the need to monitor areas which are subject to lighting fluctuations due to the changing nature of the source, such as outdoor sites and perimeters. In these cases, the movement of the sun determines the lighting conditions and security operators need a camera which can perform well during the day and night,” said Stefan Lundberg, Senior Expert Engineer at Axis Communications.

Lundberg adds: “Another use case is in indoor public areas, such as parking lots which can be extremely bright and dark in the same frame. The challenge here is that cameras are often configured to a certain range of lighting conditions, but when images are underexposed or overexposed it can be impossible to identify objects and people. Technology, such as Wide Dynamic Range (WDR), can solve the issue by applying multiple exposure levels, contrast enhancement, and advanced algorithms that lower noise and increase the image signal.”

Dahua, for example, has recently introduced IP cameras with Smart Dual Illuminators Technology whereby the cameras use IR illumination as their default lighting solution, keeping a discreet watch on scenes. When pre-defined events occur – usually the detection of a person on the scene – the Dahua camera automatically switches from IR to white light illumination, enabling color images to be viewed.

It should be noted that, besides low light capturing, these night vision cameras are beneficial in scenarios where using illumination is not ideal – either due to cost or due to the need for covert video capture for evidence.

How does security camera work at night?

A night vision camera has different modes. In the low light mode, the camera’s backlight compensation (BLC), P-iris control, exposure value (EV), auto-gain control and digital noise reduction features work together to achieve clear color images in low light conditions. In day and night mode, the camera switches to IR mode when illumination drops to a certain lux (usually 5 to 10 lux, around sunset). In IR mode, the camera captures images in black and white. It should be noted from time to time, a phenomenon called IR overshadowing may occur whereby the object becomes too bright to be identifiable. To overcome this, the user can adjust the camera’s EV, BLC as well as overexposure reduction settings.

In low light conditions, the camera can be assisted with an external or built-in illuminator, which can be IR light (invisible) or white light (visible). “A camera’s ‘gain setting’ can change the brightness level of images; however, too much will introduce noise, so it’s important to find the correct balance for an optimum image. IR illuminators can be used to get brighter images in totally dark environments. However, the images need to be acceptable as black and white in this mode,” said Adam Lowenstein, Director of Product Management at i-PRO Americas. “A ‘slow shutter’ helps to further increase sensitivity. However, this comes with a trade-off for frame rate and afterimage blurring of objects in motion. Even a small amount of light can dramatically improve nighttime image quality, so consider installing additional motion sensitive lighting in critical areas.”

“Adding white light to a camera can improve performance if the objects of interest are not too far away. In general, exposure settings are critical: however, there is always a trade-off between image quality and motion blur to consider in the application,” said Sören Litwitz, Head of Product Management for IoT Portfolio at MOBOTIX. “Image enhancements such as WDR, noise reduction, or color enhancements are helpful but may affect motion blur.”

Low light security cameras and Lux ratings

Camera manufacturers often use Lux values/ratings to indicate the minimum illumination necessary for the night vision camera to record video/images of viewable quality. Thus, Lux – a unit of illuminance – refers to how much light is on a given area and gives users an idea of a camera’s low light sensitivity. Bright sunlight, for example, has a Lux of 107,639. As far as low light is concerned, the Lux is 0.108 for full moon, 0.0108 for quarter moon, 0.0011 for starlight and 0.0001 for overcast night.

It may be pertinent at this point to mention that there are Lux-rating disparagers that argue that since Lux measurements or testing are not standardized across brands and cameras might collect light differently, it makes it difficult or (potentially) inaccurate to compare night vision cameras from different manufacturers. Therefore buyers should use this as a reference, but not an absolute since other important factors impact overall low light performance.

What is a good lux rating for a night vision security camera?

An IP camera working in low light with IR capability can capture black and white images in as low as 0.0001 Lux. However, capturing color in darkness has become an increasingly important trend as color provides more forensic information. The best night vision security camera, then, can take good color images even during extremely low light conditions.

“Standard low light cameras typically are below 1 Lux. Special low light cameras can go as low as 0.006 Lux or even 0.004 Lux, all while delivering color images,” Saks said.

Factors that determine the low light performance of a camera

There are three primary factors that determine the low light performance of a camera. These are:

  • Lens
  • Image sensor
  • Image signal processor

Below we take a closer look at each.

Lens

An IP camera with good low light capabilities begins with the lens, which determines how much light can enter the camera. That said, it’s important to take note of the f-stop value of the lens.

“When looking at performance in low-light conditions, it is important to be sure that cameras are fitted with a suitable lens,” Lundberg said. “A lower f-stop value means the lens has a wider maximum aperture and will perform better in low light. Some cameras have the ability to automatically adjust the aperture (also known as the iris) depending on the available light in the scene, making these models suitable for different types of scenarios.”

Image sensor

Once light enters through the lens it hits the image sensor, which converts light into electric signals. There are two main types of image sensors: CCD and CMOS. CCD stands for charged-coupled device. Its advantages include good performance in low light conditions, good WDR and low noise. Disadvantages include high power consumption and higher cost. CMOS stands for complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor. Its advantages include high resolution, excellent color and cost-effectiveness. Disadvantages include high noise and moderate sensitivity.

For CMOS, it’s important to mention Sony’s STARVIS and STARVIS 2 technologies which are specifically developed for CMOS image sensors. They deliver high image quality in the visible light as well as near infrared light regions. STARVIS 2 further offers the high dynamic range (AD 12bit) of more than 8 dB in a single exposure, wider than the STARVIS pixel of the same size.

When it comes to image sensors for the best low light security cameras, size matters.

“The larger the sensor is, the more light it can collect which directly contributes to better low light performance. A highly sensitive image sensor is also required, but it must also have a balanced performance and not introduce too much noise into the signal,” Lowenstein said.

“Lowlight cameras will have specifically designed sensors that are larger in general, as well as larger pixels, all to capture more light. Often these sensors measure from 1/2” to 1” in size,” Saks said. “In addition, the design of the sensor is such that heat is carried away from the pixels to prevent the heat from being interpreted as noise in the image. These attributes improve sensitivity as well as signal to noise ratio.”

Image signal processor

Finally, for a good IP camera working in low light, its image signal processor also plays a big role. “The quality of the image often relies – at least in part – on sophisticated image processing capabilities, especially advanced noise filtering. Most scenes will have some variation in lighting conditions and advanced image-processing algorithms mean instantaneous adjustment to rapidly changing light. For example, as vehicles and trains move across the landscape – particularly when they enter and exit tunnels,” Lundberg said.

“Quality Image processing algorithms are paramount to generating good quality images in low light. Color information is very important for security use cases, so it’s important that even in lowlight environments, color information is preserved. Good signal processing should be able to brighten images (adding gain) without introducing too much noise. AI-based object detection further complements signal processing by informing the algorithms about detected objects and their motion for further image enhancement,” Lowenstein said.

3 key questions to choose the right low light security camera

When picking the best night vision security camera, three important questions need to be answered:

Does the user want to record low light video in color or black and white?​

How will the night vision camera be positioned and what type of scene will it monitor?

​Does the user have specific requirements or needs?

When picking the best night vision security camera, a place to start is to decide whether the user wants to record low light video in color or black and white.

“If a user doesn’t mind images in black and white at night, they can choose cameras from a wide range of IR-LED equipped models. If color images are required 24/7, we recommend a model which supports lower minimum illumination (lower lux numbers in the specification),” Lowenstein said.

Another factor to consider is the intended position of the camera and scene to monitor. “This will not only inform the decision on the best lowlight camera, but whether auxiliary lighting will need to be installed. The user may require detail to aid identification or simply to confirm the presence of an intruder. It may be that an alternative – such as thermal or radar – is better suited,” Lundberg said.

Finally, picking the best night vision security camera requires a careful assessment of the user scenario and what the user’s needs are

“There is no general answer to this question. It always depends on the individual scene and the intention of the user. The use and availability of white light or IR lighting directly in the camera can be helpful – especially if the objects are not too far away. Otherwise, it’s a matter of considering the sensors and available sensor/low light specifications of the camera and deciding how the camera fits in based on the desired scenario,” Litwitz said. “As with all other video surveillance cameras, arguments like cyber security, robustness, and durability are always issues. Less maintenance means saving money. Also, the flexibility and modularity of systems play a significant role.”

SEN Magazine test drives FLEXIDOME panoramic 5100i IR camera

Staggering levels of situational awareness and reliable intelligent analytics

“The Bosch 5100 IR is a situational awareness monster that delivers surprising colour in sub 2 lux, as well as performing very well in monochrome supported by its excellent IR. If you need to see everything from a single camera point at a reasonable price, and if you value a mature IVA suite, the Bosch 5100 IR is well worth a look.”

John Adams, Editor of SEN magazine

Test driving the Bosch 5100i IR

The Bosch 5100 IR panoramic camera is a robust external fisheye camera made of cast aluminum and poly – it’s compact enough for discretion, and while it feels solid, it’s not too heavy. The camera is easy to set up on SEN’s test network. Once I get the camera out front of the office on the Magic Arm, it’s clear this Bosch 5100i IR has a stupendous angle of view, giving staggering levels of situational awareness. The panoramic display covers the street from end to end, as well as encompassing the front of the office, the nearby buildings on this side of the street, and looking over to the 4th story of the building opposite.

Reliable video analytics

One of the nice things about all Bosch cameras is their intelligent analytics. I really like the orange outline placed around moving objects and the green line indicating the direction of travel. Sitting at a workstation these indicators quickly become intuitive when you’re scanning an image – later I’m pleased to find it works just as well in low light.

Robust situational awareness

We’ve pointed this out before when testing panoramic cameras but it’s impossible not to highlight it again – you just don’t miss anything across a scene when it comes to situational awareness with the Bosch 5100 IR. I’m able to view someone approaches the front door of the office, while workers sit outside the house directly opposite, a person goes into a diagonally opposite apartment building, a vehicle comes up the road at one end, another goes down the road at the other, and another vehicle fudges reverse parking 30 meters up on my side, and I count 4 separate pedestrian interactions – all in the 1 image.

Low light performance

I test the camera after dark – it’s sub 2 lux under the lens. I’m not sure what to expect from the 5100 IR 6MP in low light but as soon as I sit down at my workstation, I can see the camera is doing a great job scrounging reflectance from streetlamps and windows. Even though the sky is dark, it’s contriving to show blue-grey and throughout the scene, there’s loads of detail. There’s some amplification noise in this image but whatever the camera engine is doing, it’s working.

Big coverage

The big thing with this camera is its massive angle of view – an angle of view that our 180-degree street scene doesn’t adequately reveal. I used the phrase ‘optical omniscience’ to describe the characteristics of the 5100 IR earlier, and this observation remains valid at the end of our test. As well as offering coverage of everything in complex scenes to a reasonable depth, the 5100 IR would excel on building corners and when pendant-mounted in spaces demanding saturation coverage in all directions.

THE MILAN INTERNATIONAL BUILDING ALLIANCE: THE BUILDING AT THE CORE OF THE SUSTAINABLE REVOLUTION

MIBA-Milan International Building Alliance, the event that from 15 to 18 November 2023 will bring together four exhibitions – Global Elevator Exhibition (GEE), ME-MADE expo, SMART BUILDING EXPO, and SICUREZZA – has been presented in front of numerous institutional experts and representatives in Milan. The global proposal will show the synergy between fundamental compartments for building design, construction, and requalification.

Special attention is being paid in Europe to the reduction of the impact of buildings on the environment, with specific decarbonization targets, specifically to reach a 55% reduction of greenhouse gas emissions by 2030. In the old continent, according to data from Energy&Strategy-Politecnico di Milano, 85% of buildings are over 20 years old and, at present, only 0.2% of buildings undergo deep renovation works each year and achieve an energy consumption reduction of at least 60%. In addition to that, 50% of the approximately 13.5 million buildings existing in Italy are over 50 years old.

According to ISTAT (the Italian National Institute of Statistics), the construction sector, driven by tax incentives, has been growing steadily for over a year, bringing a +1.4% growth in employment in the first three months of 2022.

This has opened up huge opportunities for all the markets involved, from design to materials, systems, and technologies. As a matter of fact, these works would push the improvement of buildings to meet new regulations and achieve European objectives by reducing the impact on the planet and energy consumption in favor of greater living comfort.

The Added Value of an Alliance

With MIBA events, Fiera Milano offers an opportunity to reflect on this ongoing revolution and grow the global markets. This is an important initiative at a time when renewed attention is being paid to the role of the building industry as a carrier of development, one that brings about concrete initiatives implemented to spur the evolution of the building sector and its green and sustainable transformation.

The synergy between these 4 events, which are the expression of the various markets that are called to interact and work together for the creation of efficient buildings, is the format through which the players of this industry will be able to discover the proposals of the most qualified companies: MIBA’s objective is to connect as much as 1,000 companies with the professionals of the sector.

ASSA ABLOY PULSE energy harvesting electronic locks fit the profile for a ground-breaking sustainable construction project

London, February 2023 – Businesses in every sector face the challenge of operating more sustainably. Construction is no different. As a Premium Member of Green Building Council Denmark, the developer of Esbjerg’s new “A Place To” housing complex sought efficient access control to complement a contemporary style and sustainability ethos. Energy harvesting technology provided the answer.

At A Place To, Esbjerg, more than 400 apartments connect with shared common “co-living” areas. There’s a cafe, fitness and yoga, a big screen, reading nooks and workstations, communal kitchens and more.

Sustainability is core to their vision. As they grow — at future properties in Copenhagen, Horsens and beyond* — A Place To aims for the operation and maintenance of all buildings to be DGNB-certified.

For efficient access control, they looked for an energy-saving solution which would operate without batteries or wires.

Other priorities included integration-readiness. Electronic locking at A Place To must work seamlessly with other building technologies including online readers and door-phones. They wanted cloud-based management, to keep staff in control 24/7 from anywhere. Managers also knew that any solution must be future-proof by design: New features or capacity anytime may be required at any time.

Energy harvesting access management  in the cloud

PULSE key-operated electronic cylinders with energy-harvesting technology now secure more than 300 apartments at A Place To: “We went for a future-proof solution which was maintenance-free and where we did not have to change batteries,” explains Peter Høpfner, their COO and Founder.

PULSE devices are self-powered and need no external energy source. The cylinder’s encrypted electronic security is energized with power generated by key insertion. “It was a big plus with PULSE that keys and locks are battery and cable free,” he adds.

A Place To’s security administrators manage access control with cloud-based software. They can change anyone’s access permissions online. Users update their own keys at integrated door-phones or online readers. This ensures resident access permissions are always current.

Each PULSE key also contains an RFID chip: It doubles as an access card for the entrance and communal areas, so tenants only need to carry one credential for multiple openings around the property. It’s more convenient and efficient.

How PULSE meets the challenges of more sustainable construction

Around 60% of the world’s electricity is consumed by buildings, according to UN Environment Programme estimates**. PULSE access control can help reduce energy use — one reason the technology won the 2022 Danish Building Centres Energy Award***, whose purpose is to “celebrate innovative products and solutions in construction and to increase knowledge of climate-friendly building materials.”

Self-powered and wire-free, a PULSE locking system operates day-to-day without any external electricity source — neither mains nor batteries. Installation is cable-free and low impact, too, which minimizes power consumption at what can be an energy intensive stage in a system’s lifecycle. At a retrofit project, all an installer needs to do is swap an existing cylinder for a PULSE device. It’s simple and requires no drilling.

“In addition, several PULSE cylinder types have an independently assessed Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) valid through 2026,” explains Daniel Totzeck, PULSE Product Manager at ASSA ABLOY Opening Solutions EMEIA.

“The EPD details the precise environmental impact of a device through its full lifecycle. EPDs are rich in details required by projects seeking green building certification, which is increasingly popular worldwide because it can deliver financial as well as ethical benefits for a building owner.”

To deliver a new Brussels office building, ASSA ABLOY’s specification expertise and Openings Studio™ software were critical

London, January 2023 – Project management for large building designs benefits from both collaboration and effective digitalization. On a landmark new office development in central Brussels, ASSA ABLOY’s Openings Studio™ software helped achieve the ultimate goal: excellence in design, balancing cost, delivery time and sustainability concerns.

Quatuor is a multi-purpose office, events and coworking space in central Brussels, with an innovative design certified Outstanding by BREEAM*. Designed and overseen by Jaspers-Eyers Architects, it was a large project with an ever-evolving nature. The final design incorporated 1,800 doors, of many different types and required standards.

For more than 15 years, Jaspers-Eyers has organized their projects around BIM principles. A successful BIM process maximizes the efficiency of collaboration and communication between their stakeholders. To help deliver door and security solutions, they sought out a partner with in-depth specification knowledge and experience.

For Quatuor, working with local experts at ASSA ABLOY Opening Solutions streamlined project collaboration with the developer client; with contractors and subcontractors; and with the building’s final end-users, the tenants.

Specification input from ASSA ABLOY was invaluable: “Throughout the project — from the call for tenders to site follow-up — ASSA ABLOY was present to provide assistance with updates, definition of new products and information,” says Gilles Bollens at Jaspers-Eyers.

Simplifying door specification

Specification for door and security solutions can be time-consuming. At Quatuor, ASSA ABLOY’s experience and expertise accelerated the process.

The local team of ASSA ABLOY BIM & Specification experts handled specification details and kept the central resource up-to-date and transparent, freeing up architects’ valuable time.

One key tool in successful collaboration was ASSA ABLOY Openings Studio. This software connected Jaspers-Eyers’ RevitÒ designs directly with databases holding specification data for the varied door solutions which ASSA ABLOY supplied. These included ASSA ABLOY Cam-Motion® door closers; architectural hardware; Litto Project locks and cylinders; and ABLOY EL160 locks.

Openings Studio enabled rapid, accurate updating of in-process designs with object data and parameterizations. “The evolution of projects… makes this integration of configuration for objects — particularly hardware — essential,” explains Gilles Bollens.

“Use of the software is very intuitive. It is the only tool that enables the management of doors as a whole, in such a fluid and complete way.”

How Openings Studio streamlines building design workflows

Openings Studio is a key software tool for boosting specification efficiency on projects of any size. Its intuitive operation simplifies collaboration and information handling for all specifications around the door.

Seamless exporting of specifications to design packages including Revit® and ARCHICAD® saves time. It replaces time-consuming updating via Excel and other manual methods, which are slow and prone to human error. Every change is logged in the software, so it’s easy to “rewind” to compare previous design ideas.

Openings Studio also functions as a transparent communication channel for all stakeholders, available through a project and beyond via secure web login or a new mobile app.
