Polar Bears in View

Caelus Natural Resources Alaska, LLC is producing oil from a six-acre man-made gravel pad, the Oooguruk drillsite (ODS), which is several hundred miles north of the Arctic Circle. The Oooguruk development project in Harrison Bay in Alaska’s North Slope region. Over 30 million barrels of oil have been produced from Oooguruk since 2008.

Conditions are extreme–temperatures can drop to minus 40 degrees Fahrenheit, the sun sets for two months every year and there are polar bears–the world’s largest land carnivore. ODS is in the migratory path of apex predators, polar bears. To prevent unwanted encounters between humans and bears, an innovative security solution is required on ODS. The system is designed to detect approaching animals as early as possible. Simultaneously, it must function reliably and efficiently in the Arctic’s tough environment.

“Within two weeks of installing the cameras, we recorded two events of polar bears on ODS. The images were crystal clear. We even have one camera installed 100 feet from the ground, and the resolution is shockingly good.” Dale Hoffmann, former Land Manager, Caelus Natural Resources Alaska, LLC

Bosch solved the exceptional challenge using the MIC IP fusion 9000i camera. It combines a robust design with Intelligent Video Analytics and was developed specifically for use in extreme conditions. Eleven of the cameras have already been installed on ODS, with five more at the planning stage. After receiving specific training, the company’s electricians and IT staff installed the system themselves in the shortest possible time.

The cameras defy the extreme cold by means of a deicing function and motor-powered silicone wipers. Bosch starlight technology enables clear images even in low light and the thermal imager delivers images in total darkness. With built-in Intelligent Video Analytics shared by both the optical and thermal imagers, the system can detect polar bears even when they are swimming or far off in the distance.

As soon as a polar bear appears in the vicinity of the island, the Bosch cameras’ tracking function is automatically triggered and personnel are notified. The necessary personnel safety measures can then be implemented quickly and efficiently. An alarm brings employees inside, and staff trained by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service monitor the polar bear and use a gradually accelerating deterrence plan to cause the bear to go away without harming it.

Installing the intelligent system means there is greater safety for both humans and animals. “We no longer need to rely on someone watching the cameras to see the polar bears,” says John Hellén, Health, Safety and Environmental Manager, Caelus Natural Resources Alaska, LLC.

SICUREZZA 2019: THE POSITIVE TREND CONTINUES.

THE SHOW AT FIERA MILANO FROM 13 TO 15 NOVEMBER
With security an ever more pervasive concern, the challenges for professionals, on which the exhibition will focus, are continuing to grow. And in the run up to the event, the international roadshow will be making its next stopover at London.

Milan, 15 April 2019 – SICUREZZA 2019, to be held at Fiera Milano on 13 to 15 November this year, is continuing to grow. Seven months before the exhibition, the leading one of its kind in Italy and one of the main events in Europe, the leading brands in the security industry have already booked their participation.

The exhibition will feature two major novelties: a more organic layout, with 4 adjoining pavilions, and exhibition areas divided by product type.

Video surveillance and burglar protection will occupy parts of pavilions 5 and 7, with separate areas in the same pavilions dedicated to fire equipment (pav. 5) and drones (pav. 7).
Pavilion 10, on the other hand, will be focusing on passive security and access control, showcasing solutions for every area of application: residential, urban, industrial and commercial. Pavilion 6, finally, in line with the mission of SECURITY, will be hosting the Smart Building Expo, with an expanded focus on the smart city and alternative energy solutions in addition to the smart building itself.

MISSION INTERNATIONALISATION
Meanwhile, the European roadshow showcasing SICUREZZA 2019 to professionals, along with the opportunities offered by the Italian market, continues its journey.

The next stop is at London, where on 19 June, SICUREZZA 2019 will be presenting itself to security professionals and the international press at an informal cocktail evening.

To multiply business opportunities for exhibitors at SICUREZZA 2019, the scouting initiative which will bring top hosted buyers, selected for their spending potential and geographical origin (Europe, Balkans; Mediterranean basin, Middle East, Maghreb, Russia and ex-CSI countries), has also started. Thanks to My Matching, Fiera Milano’s online match-making service, exhibitors and buyers will be able to select and assess business profiles before the event starts, and set up a schedule of appointments for the exhibition itself.

TRAINING: THE KEY TO MEETING SECURITY CHALLENGES
SICUREZZA 2019 will be the showcase for the most innovative solutions currently available on the market, but also an opportunity for updating professional competencies.

This need is increasingly being expressed by industry professionals, faced with a market which never stands still. The convergence between physical and logical security, the integration between technologies, the transition from standalone products to integrated solutions, and the new regulations resulting from the application of the GDPR have completely revolutionised the world of security, demanding new competencies not only from system designers, but also installers.

The technological revolution is ongoing, and while on the one hand it has kept the market alive, keeping turnover up despite the persistence of downpricing, on the other is demands constant training and professional qualification, especially for installers, who have not yet fully understood the combination of opportunities and risks that are emerging in this new scenario.

The use of artificial intelligence and advanced tracking and recognition solutions, based on biometric and other identification data, is making security systems ever more powerful and adaptable to any application, but also more vulnerable, open doors to what is now the true value of any company: its data, its information. And this is not true only of video surveillance, in which the matter of privacy has long been dealt with, but also for residential solutions, from intelligent door panels to domotics, which may become back doors into the home network.

The training programme at SICUREZZA 2019 will be making cyber security and privacy among its main areas of focus. The exhibition’s training programme will deal with topical issues, and in many cases offer training credits issued by the associations of engineers and technical experts.

 

Code Handle®: the secure PIN-locking handle you can install yourself

London, April 2019 — When we say Code Handle is an easy way to add PIN security to any interior door, we mean it. From the minute you open the box, Code Handle makes upgrading internal door security simple.

Code Handle is a secure handle with a built-in PIN keypad. It adds reliable electronic security to any sensitive interior door.

With Code Handle, you don’t need an expensive access control system. There are no cumbersome keys to carry or track. Its secure PIN code makes sure only authorised people can unlock your door. Press a PIN code on the handle’s keypad and the door opens. Close the door and your Code Handle locks itself automatically behind you.

Best of all, Code Handle is simple even for the inexperienced to install.

Easy installation, easy PIN change, easy security
Fitting your Code Handle is easy, as a short YouTube installation video demonstrates. There’s no wiring, no specialist tools, and no need to drill any new holes.

All it takes is two screws to fit your new Code Handle to almost any interior door, from 35mm to 80mm thick. An optional distance ring enables installation on even thinner doors.

With Code Handle, there is no need to cable the door or connect it to the mains. Code Handle adds electronic security without an access control system. You don’t even need to change your door cylinder. Just slot in two standard batteries, secure your Code Handle on the existing cylinder, and your security is upgraded.

When you install Code Handle, you set your own Master Code and can choose up to 9 additional user PINs (4–6 digits). Don’t worry if an employee leaves or changes jobs: you can amend or remove their PIN in seconds, without removing your Code Handle from the door.

Code Handle keeps sensitive files, personal belongings and valuable stock separated and secure from the public — and from the moment you open the box.

Why did we make the Code Handle so simple to install? Because nobody wants a straightforward security upgrade that needs an expert to fit. Visit https://campaigns.assaabloyopeningsolutions.eu/codehandle to learn more.

Marketplace in Center of MIPS

Milestone Integration Platform Symposium (MIPS) is Milestone Systems’ partner event flagship, bringing together partners from the Americas, EMEA and APAC regions to collaborate, network and learn from the global tendencies within the video management software industry. With more than 1,500 participants globally, MIPS is a unique opportunity to pool insights, share knowledge and meet Milestone Systems’ community of technology partners.

a&s Adria has been invited to participate as a Milestone media partner to report about the event and most important innovations for this year. The buzz was all about Milestone Marketplace, recently developed digital platform for the video technology industry that connects buyers and sellers to co-create innovative solutions. We have used the chance to talk with Malou Mousten Dyhr Toft, VP of EMEA.

a&s Adria: Where did the idea for Marketplace came from?

Malou Mousten: The idea of Marketplace have grown out of the realization, that Milestone Systems need to pivot towards becoming a platform orchestrator. And the idea has grown through a close dialogue with the partner community. The development has been true to embedded Milestone values, which include an open community- based approach and an agile development model: “In the concept phase we conducted 4.400 minutes of interviews involving more than 60 different technology partners and integrators to make sure we understood the prerequisites for success. And the development of the platform itself happened in sprints with minimum 5 partners invited to test the results of each sprint”, tells Malou Toft. Shortly after introduction 122 solutions are available on Marketplace from more than 70 different partners.

a&s Adria: What is the most important difference between Marketplace and traditional consulting between producers and users?

Malou Mousten: Marketplace can scale, because it is driven by the partners. They are the driving force by building the content. So with Marketplace, Milestone taps into their knowledge and their innovative ideas. End users will play an important role too through their comments and recommendations. In traditional consulting you will also define a scope at the outset. On Marketplace, you can immediately start to explore solutions, even if you have not fully understood your need. You can filter through use cases, verticals, number of cameras, etc.

a&s Adria: To be exact, how does one of the Milestone Technology Partners can be involved in innovating new products via Marketplace?

Malou Mousten: You need to be part of the Milestone Technology Partner Program (TPP) to get solutions on Marketplace. Further to that, you need to prove, that a solution works with our XProtect software. We know that trust and reliability are vital in the video surveillance industry. That is why Marketplace only includes applications, hardware and services that have been either verified or certified by Milestone and proven to work with XProtect. Having a verified application, hardware or service means that your content page is endorsed by Milestone. It ensures that your application, hardware or service is interoperable and optimized for XProtect® video management software (VMS), and involves a rigorous testing and verification process by both yourself and Milestone. Having a certified application, hardware or service means that it has been tested and evaluated for Milestone XProtect® video management software (VMS) integration in two areas: functionality and performance. The Milestone Solution Certification team leads and manages the Certification process for Milestone.

a&s Adria: Why do you include only Technology Partners and not the others, and what types of products do you plan to work together on?

Malou Mousten: If you look at the technologies represented on Marketplace, you have artificial intelligence, augmented reality, cameras and drones, displays and machines; GIS and GPS, NVR, DVR and encoders; Sensors and RFID; Storage, servers and network; video analytics.

Milestone Systems has a long tradition of working closely with our partner community on advancing the technology, For a number of years, we have had a Partner Advisory Board, where long-term Milestone partners are invited to give input to and influence our product direction and work together with the Milestone product management team to define our product roadmap. Further to that we have announced the driver framework alongside our SDK to allow partners to add their innovations to the XProtect software.
